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!

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.

Coronado Community Center Wedding 7/25/09

Tonight I was out at the Coronado Community Center for the ceremony and reception. The ceremony was held out on the grass overlooking the San Diego Bay. Guests then moved over to the outdoor patio for cocktail hour. I had to bring tons of equipment for this wedding. The uplights looked great surrounding the outer edge of the room and the cake spotlighting really made that white cake pop out from across the room! They showed a fun slide show at the end of dinner. It takes longer to set it all up but the results look great and it really changes the entire look of the event. It was a really nice and polite group to work with this evening. They enjoyed the dancing (the groom enjoyed it most of all because he kept having to sit down for a few minutes to cool off). Here is a short video highlight from the wedding provided by Garner Films: Chad & Rilee’s Wedding Highlight Video

Extras Provided: 8 uplights, cake spotlights, video/slide show projection equipment.

The Dana Wedding 6/20/09

Tonight’s wedding was held at The Dana. Cocktail hour was held outside so we were lucky the rain stopped just in time. The room looked great. They selected a light green as their color and butterflies as their theme. I used 8 uplights throughout the room to add some color to the walls and to help warm things up. I also spotlighted the cake which makes a world of difference from across the room, as well as, enhancing the photographer’s images. You can see before and after pictures below that I took before the event started. All of the events ran a little late due to groomsmen troubles but once we got that all worked out we continued with the party. Great group to work with…

Check out the flowers, chandelier, and canopy on that sweetheart table! It was a long drive but well worth it! Tonight I was up at the Hilton Waterfront in Huntington Beach for an amazing wedding. As you can see there were more flowers on their sweetheart table than at most weddings! The room looked amazing with the large centerpieces, the cool white lounge furniture, and the lighting that pulled it all together. We used 24 uplights, cake spotlighting, and a monogram on the dance floor to create the overall effect. One of the best looking weddings I have been to… Amazing candy bar topped it all off. The crowd was a fun dancing group and the evening went off without a hitch thanks to the help of Laura and Joanna from Unforgettable Event Coordinators.

Tonight’s wedding was over at the Coronado Community Center. A few great things about this location are the fact that you are right on the water, there is a nice outside patio for cocktail hour, the reception room is modern yet warm, and the entire location is fairly new. It seemed that is was a very reserved group during the entrance (very little clapping or noise) and dinner hour so I thought it would turn out to be a mellow evening. Once dancing kicked into full gear they were out there having a great time! It is always a nice surprise. A few unique personal touches: They had someone hand paint all of the table numbers with orchids and flowers which looked amazing, there was a frozen dessert bar with all sorts of unknown cold treats, and three close friends got together and played their first dance live. The cake spotlighting and uplighting I provided looked amazing tonight! The cake provided some of the best photos I have been able to capture. I can’t wait to see the professional photos their photographer Jared Bauman took. He had a slideshow going with some beautiful shots. Melanie Montoya from Something Blue Weddings helped coordinate the evening without any glitches.

Tonight’s wedding was over on Shelter Island at Humphrey’s By The Bay. The ceremony was out on the lawn. It was perfect wedding weather for them. I was able to work with officiant Jerry Bryant again today. He always does the best job. The group tonight did not leave the dance floor (especially this little guy that danced during the entire dinner and kept stealing the show all night long… see picture below). It was one of those nights where I could have kept playing for another two to three hours. Time flies when you are having fun! I provided some uplights around the room that added some color to the walls. I also spotlighted the cake and it really made a huge difference! I heard many guests commenting on how it looked like it was glowing from across the room. Exactly what I try to achieve. You can see the “before” and “after” pictures below.

Grande Colonial La Jolla Wedding 4/4/09

Another amazing group tonight! You know you are at a great place when you pull up to the Grande Colonial in La Jolla and there are two Ferrari’s and a Lamborghini sitting out front. It was a smaller group of about 80 people. The Grande Colonial is an excellent place for this size of group because they have different areas to create interest. Cocktail hour and dinner were held outside on the balcony and patio area. Dancing moved inside later on. The bride and groom were very specific with their music requests. It was probably some of the most unique and unusual music I have ever played at a wedding. I wasn’t too sure how all of this music would play out at the event since many of the artists and songs were most likely unfamiliar to their guests (Sound Tribe Sector 9, Pnuma Trio, Nosaj Thing, etc.). I was pleasantly surprised because it really worked well for their group. Everyone had an open mind and enjoyed it (they didn’t have to hear the ultra cliche’ songs in order to dance which is normally difficult for Americans). Highlights included: refreshing/unique music with an electronic twist, I spotlighted the cake which really made it stand out once the sun went down (see photo above), the water effect lighting added some movement and color to the dance floor area, the bride had on a pair of excellent Christian Louboutin heels that the photographer Cary Pennington kept trying to sneak shots of, the coordinators from Red Letter Days helped keep the evening (and guests) on track! Excellent wedding!

Thursday Club Wedding 11/23/08

Nov 242008

I was back at The Thursday Club in Point Loma tonight for the ceremony and reception. Perfect weather for a late November wedding. Their theme was all about the beach so the room looked great with the water effect lighting on the ceiling! I also enhanced the square cupcakes with some spotlighting which made them really stand out up on the stage. After dinner I used the projection equipment to show a nice slideshow of the couple throughout the years (guests usually love seeing these as long as they are not too long). We had a pretty strong dancing crowd early on for a Sunday night wedding.

South Coast Winery Wedding 11/1/08

Nov 012008

November is a perfect time of year for a wedding in Temecula. Tonight I was over at the South Coast Winery which has beautiful grounds and a wonderful spa. The couple had a traditional Scottish ceremony out by the vineyards with a bagpiper. The reception then moved inside where they had some Scottish dancing to kick it off followed by more of a club type atmosphere later in the evening. The group had a good time and the lighting added quite a bit to the tan room. You can see a few examples of the room with and without lighting below.
