It takes a unique couple to book their wedding at the Hard Rock Cafe in La Jolla. Cool relaxed vibe where everyone can enjoy themselves. Great music is a must! They had a really fun cake that went along with their whole beach theme.
En Pointe Photography always does an amazing job. Check out some great photos of the wedding here on their BLOG.
This was an amazing wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn – Bernardo Ballroom that was given to me as a referral from a photographer. The ceremony was out on the Promenade which has a great view of the golf course. Guests moved up to the outdoor patio for cocktail hour and then inside for dinner / dancing. I provided the slideshow equipment for a great photo session after dinner. They had a great looking all purple candy bar out near the bar. SUGAR!!! We kicked things off with dancing and about 200 out of the 225 guests were out on the dancefloor. The music didn’t stop until the last dance! Excellent dancing crowd. 9 out of 10.
The Bahia Resort on Mission Bay is great for many reasons. They have some nice outdoor locations for the ceremony and the Mission Ballroom up at the top of the tower has excellent views of the sunset and Sea World fireworks during the summer. The ceremony today was outside at the pond gazebo area. During the cocktail hour I noticed something different… All of the guests had custom orange koozies on their drink glass that the bride & groom made with a saying “To have and to hold, to keep your drink cold!” along with their names, date, and an image. Sort of fun to see throughout the night. Ice cream was served after the main entree! I helped provide some equipment for the “secret slideshow” the maid of honor put together. This was an excellent dancing crowd… 9 out of 10!
Tonight I was over at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse on Harbor Island and was the third wedding I have done for this family. The ceremony was out on the deck which has one of the best views of downtown and the bay. During the reception I provided the projection equipment for a nice slideshow. Guests always enjoy seeing funny, unique, and memorable photos from the past.

The Kona Kai Resort is always a nice location to have a wedding. This weekend they had their ceremony and cocktail hour outside on the patio, and reception inside. The lighting helped the all tan room and brought some color to the walls. Their video/slideshow was one of the best I have ever viewed. Absolutely hilarious! I knew it was going to be a great night when they started dancing before dinner was served. We ended up going a half hour overtime because they would not stop dancing… Always a good sign.

4th of July holiday weekend wedding at La Costa Resort & Spa. This was a large 260 person wedding in the Poinsettia Ballroom that stretched out over 8 1/2 hours with the ceremony and reception. (tired feet…) This was a referral from one of my wedding couples from about a year ago. The Candy Bar and Cigar Bar were unique.
Extras provided: 8 uplights, white “starry” lights, video slideshow and screen.
The Baja Room at Marina Village is one of the more difficult locations for sound since it is a very long and narrow room. Wireless speakers always work well in this situation and help guests down at the other end of the room hear toasts, events, and announcements. I also provided some uplights which matched their colors exactly and helped “dress up” the room. Lots of dancing and drinking. One of the craziest group of groomsmen.

This was a crazy one. Tons of equipment and two seperate locations. After providing the ceremony music and microphones in Balboa Park we then moved over to the Cypress Room for the reception. I projected their video during the cocktail hour. Excellent food and a pretty good dancing group.
You can’t beat the view from the La Valencia Hotel! Highlights included the ceremony overlooking the ocean and cocktail hour on the patio. A fairly mellow lunchtime reception with an intimate group… exactly what they had envisioned.
The Rancho Bernardo Inn is one of my favorite places to DJ an event. This wedding was in the smallest room with about 65 people. It was actually one of the best dancing crowds I have had. It is so funny how each crowd is different. Sometimes you worry about the smaller groups not being able to build up enough momentum or energy. Not the case with this wedding…
