This morning I was over at the Oceanview Room in Pt. Loma for an early Saturday wedding. I helped provide the ceremony music and microphones out on the grass at 10am with a beautiful view of the San Diego Bay. If you are at a park or location that requires you to pick up your flower petals from the ceremony to avoid a charge a great idea is to have a contest for all the kids at your wedding. We made an announcement after the ceremony that all the kids who helped pick up the petals and put them in the bag would get a prize. The bride had some prize bags with a few toys/gifts in them for the coordinator to hand out as they threw away their petals. Easiest and fastest way to get the job done (and keeps the kids busy)! You never know how a day wedding will turn out when it comes to dancing. Most go really well but every now and then you get a group that is just not in that same nighttime party mode and they just want to relax. This wedding was the best of both worlds. People loved the view and the sunshine but there was a fair amount of dancing throughout the afternoon.

Today I headed up to Orange County to a beautiful reception site called the Orange County Mining Co. with the ceremony being held at Orange County Heritage Museum. The view from the reception site was pretty amazing overlooking all of the city lights down below. They had one of the most unique custom cake top caricatures made that looked just like their online game versions. The two locations required me to arrive much earlier due to the fact that I had to set up the reception equipment first and then travel 20-30 minutes to the ceremony location to get equipment ready. This wedding was a referral from a bride and groom who had their wedding over two years ago. They trusted me to DJ again for their sister so I really wanted to do a great job. Everyone enjoyed the evening and dancing went pretty well. The bride had gotten sick a few days earlier so she wasn’t feeling well towards the end of the evening. They had to leave about 30 minutes early but we were able to get in all the important events and some extra time for dancing. It is always an honor and a pleasure to DJ for past clients and their families!

I was over at the Town & Country Resort for a Sunday wedding today. I provided sound for the outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour. We then moved inside the ballroom for the reception. It was funny because they also had an ice sculpture which you don’t see at every wedding (last night’s wedding had an ice sculpture martini luge). I added some colored lighting to the ice sculpture which really made it stand out from across the room. Dancing was fairly consistent throughout the evening considering it was a Sunday night wedding. The lighting looked amazing in the room and really enhanced the atmosphere. It can really hide certain elements and bring out items you want to highlight. Tonight was a perfect example of that. I provided a custom monogram that was projected down onto the dance floor and 7 uplights around the room.

Extras Provided: 7 Uplights, Custom Monogram Projection

MOCA Wedding CakeThe Museum of Contemporary Art La Jolla is always one of my favorite places to work at mainly because it is an interesting space and I have always been into modern art (not to mention the lighting possibilities!) We had the ceremony outside on the patio with my favorite Minister Jerry Bryant this evening. Cocktail hour was held downstairs in the Coast Room. Guests then moved upstairs for the reception where Guiseppe Catering was busy with three excellent food stations. It was perfect timing because it was just getting dark and all the uplighting that I had done in the room was beginning to come to life. Look at the before and after pictures below to really get a great idea of what lighting can do for any reception space! They had a cool lounge area back by the artwork that Haydee from Concepts Event Design provided. John from Aquario Studio Photography documented the evening on film. I am interested to get some of his photos of the lighting in the room since my small camera doesn’t really do these photos justice. Organic Elements did some minimal floral centerpieces that fit well in the modern space. We kicked off dancing with a slightly older music set to make sure all of the family members and family friends were happy. Once we cut the cake a little later we kicked things into high gear. I played more current music and mostly club remixes for the rest of the night. They seemed conservative early on in the evening but got pretty wild the last hour. Excellent well rounded wedding.

Extras Provided: 19 custom colored uplights, slide show projection equipment
