Another amazing wedding down at the Omni! Tonight’s wedding was for one of the sales managers that works at the Omni so there were a lot of important people in attendance including the VP of the Omni along with many of the Omni’s upper management. This wedding had a lot of extra special touches. First off the centerpieces looked amazing in the room. They were extremely vibrant which really created a dramatic effect set against the black chair covers. Lounge furniture surrounded the dance floor which creates a cool relaxed atmosphere. We projected the couple’s slide show up on a large screen after dinner. Just outside the ballroom there was another lounge area where guests could step away from the dance floor and relax while viewing another video slide show on a LCD flat screen. I provided the San Diego wedding DJ services and also helped illuminate the room with a few extra items. 16 uplights were used around the ballroom (set to a nice amber color), a custom monogram initial was projected down onto the dance floor, and the cake was spotlighted to really make it stand out when the lights were dimmed, as well as, making sure it was visible from across the room. We had a crowd of about 225 guests tonight and I estimate about 200 of them were out on the dance floor. We were scheduled to end at 11pm but everyone was having a great time so we extended until 12 midnight. Another great wedding reception!

Tonight we were over at the newly remodeled Bali Hai for a great wedding. The new remodel looks great and really updates the look and feel of the location. It makes the room seem twice as large as it used to. The ceremony was held off to the side of the restaurant facing the San Diego bay and the downtown skyline. A few interesting and fun elements to this wedding included: the groom walking into the ceremony to an instrumental version of the song: “The Final Countdown” which got a laugh out of quite a few people, the bride wore a very unique grey-ish blue wedding dress that really stood out from the “norm”, the groom does custom tile and stone work so the groom’s cake had blue waves made out of small square sugar tiles like a mosaic, root beer floats were served for dessert, the couple is really into tandem bicycles so they had their old-school tandem outside on display and I projected a custom image of a tandem bicycle down onto the dance floor, for some unknown reason a group of younger guests changed into disco style clothes during open dancing and surprised everyone on the dance floor with their stylish moves, the bride’s father is a technical genius so he put together a full on photo booth with props and backdrop. Each guest was able to take home printed photo booth style photos from the evening. The uplights around the room added some color to the walls and went well with the bride’s bouquet.

Extras Provided: 8 uplights, custom monogram projection, disco ball

Tonight I was honored to be invited to attend the Exquisite Weddings Magazine 2010 Release Party that was held at the San Diego downtown University Club Atop Symphony Towers.

I have done a few weddings at the University Club in the past and this location has some of the best views of downtown! There was a great mix of top vendors, as well as, brides/grooms.

I bumped into one of my past couples Lauren & Byram. Their wedding is featured in this issue so it was really exciting for them to view it on the pages of a magazine! I am glad that I was able to be a part of it and make sure they were well taken care of. If you pick up a copy of the recent magazine their wedding is featured on page 52 through page 55. Enjoy!

Admiral Baker Clubhouse Wedding 3/21/10

This evening’s wedding was held at the Admiral Baker Clubhouse and golf course. I started off with providing the ceremony music and microphones outside on the patio. After the ceremony guests moved to the other end of the patio for the cocktail hour with a great view of the golf course. Once inside the ballroom I projected a slide show that they created. It was a nice way to start off the reception. I then announced our newly married couple into the room. They went to their sweetheart table and I invited their best man and maid of honor up to start off the toasts. After the meal dancing began with their first dance to: “Bless The Broken Road” – Rascal Flatts. We cut the cake after about 45 minutes of solid dancing. They had one of the most unique cake knife and server sets I have seen yet. It was an organic shaped set by Nambé and can be seen in the picture below. Tonight was another amazing night on the dance floor. Sometimes a Sunday night wedding will not have the same type of party atmosphere as a Saturday night wedding. This definitely was not the case with this group. They kept it going until 10pm ending time. They had a blast singing along with the last dance song our couple picked out: “Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen. It was one of the best “last dances” I’ve seen at a wedding.

I was back at the Omni tonight for an amazing San Diego wedding! They really went all out for this one. The entire ballroom space was used with around 225 guests. I provided my usual San Diego wedding DJ and MC services, as well as, lots of extra enhancements to finish the room off. I used 12 uplights throughout to add some color to the tan walls. I spotlighted the cake (you can see before and after pictures below and a few at a distance to let you see how the cake really stands out from across the room) and projected a custom monogram gobo image down onto the dance floor to add a personal touch. The tables looked amazing with branch centerpieces that were highlighted with orchids, hanging candles, and draped with crystals. The couple made their entrance into the ballroom and then went into their first dance to “You Got Me” by Colbie Caillat. After dinner I helped provide the projection equipment for their slide show. Once we kicked things off dancing went extremely well! They had a blast from start to finish. We ended up going about 15 minutes past the ending time since they kept wanting more… Guests then headed downstairs and lit sparklers outside for the bride & groom’s exit.

Jay-Z wants to be an “expensive” wedding DJ

This is pretty funny as well…

WASHINGTON – Jay-Z is planning to become a DJ and intends to charge double the amount of what top professionals in the field receive when they perform in marriages and other events.

The ‘99 Problems’ hitmaker said he would soon buy a system to meet his requirement for becoming a DJ.

“I’ve got a whole plan. I’m gonna get me a little Serato set, some DJ software. I’m gonna work on that for six months, then I’m gonna find out which DJ makes the most and charge double and tour, do bar mitzvahs, weddings,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

He added: “I’m gonna have video behind me and dancers. I’m gonna have people just go out and pour champagne when I get to a certain song. I’m going to make a whole show of this thing.”

The rapper who is married to singer Beyonce suggested that he would charge heavily once he excelled in the trade.

He added: “If you want to book me, book me early, because the prices will be a little better because when I get good, I’m really going to go for it.”

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, also plans to take up a different name to go with it.

He said: “I’m definitely going to go by a different name. I want people to hear it and be like, DJ Wow!’. It’s got to look good in lights.”

El Cortez Wedding DJ 2/27/10

San Diego Wedding DJ, San Diego Wedding Vendors Comments Off

Feb 272010

El Cortez is one of my favorite San Diego wedding reception locations because it is a unique room in every aspect. The shape of the room, the wood carved ceiling, the large dark wood dance floor, the outdoor patio with fireplace, among other reasons. Tonight’s wedding was from a referral from one of my past wedding couples that actually had their wedding at the El Cortez as well. My past bride is the Director of Catering and Conference Services at The Lodge at Torrey Pines so it was great to see them again since they were guests at this wedding. The cocktail hour was moved inside due to the rain so it was a little tighter than normal with the addition of two bars inside that are normally outside on the patio. It made for a cozy atmosphere especially with the six member mariachi group handling the cocktail hour music. A nice personal touch was during the grand entrance I announced the couple and then the mariachi group played a special entrance song to really kick things off. After dinner we moved into dancing. I played a large variety of Latin music and American music and this group was pretty much non-stop until the end. El Cortez has a firm ending time by 11pm. It was one of those weddings where you know it could have gone on for another hour or two. It was also great to work with Amy and Maurice from Theorie Photography. I always have a great time when they are around. A very enjoyable night… Click here to view more photos: Theorie Photography Blog
