Private Winery Estate Wedding 5/8/10

May 082010

After the hour drive up to Temecula I arrived at a private winery estate for tonight’s wedding. It is always interesting to follow the “referral trail” to find out where clients get your information. This wedding was a referral from a 2007 wedding… which was a referral from a 2002 wedding… which was a referral from a 1999 wedding! So basically this wedding is a direct result of a wedding I did over 11 years ago. It is always fun to keep track of these sort of things to see the progress you make over the years. The couple’s house located at the top of the hill overlooking their vineyards was amazing. We held the ceremony out front on the lawn. Cocktail hour moved around back to the pool area. Dinner was held inside the tent. This wedding was for a long time figure within the Billabong surf company. Many of the top surfboard shapers were in attendance tonight including: John Carper, Terry Martin, Pat Taylor (Best Man), and Rich “Toby” Pavel. Inside the tent the groom paid tribute to these shapers with a display of their work along with some background bio information. Dancing went extremely well tonight even with a longer 7 hour event. They really enjoyed family and friends who kept it going until the end. An excellent Temecula Winery Wedding Reception!

I had an excellent time catching up with everyone tonight at the San Diego Style Weddings Magazine “Spring Fling” launch party held outside at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. It was a perfect evening for an outdoor event on the Aragon lawn with “lemon & lime” lanterns above. Some of the best San Diego caterers provided an assortment of amazing food. There were around 400 top San Diego wedding vendors in attendance so it was difficult to make it around to everyone. I bumped into many “old” friends and also had the pleasure of meeting a few new vendors. It is an honor to be part of such an amazing industry!

Thursday Club Wedding 4/21/10

Another weekday wedding! Tonight’s Wednesday wedding was held over at The Thursday Club in Point Loma. As guests arrived they were greeted outside by an enormous pink flamingo and a spring fairy. One of the most unique and cool things I have seen! You almost don’t really know what to say… The weather has been crazy the last few days so we had to make a decision to pull the ceremony inside at the last minute. The Thursday Club has an excellent outdoor space for ceremonies but the indoor space we used still has a view that nobody can deny! We were lucky enough to have some nice pockets of weather so they could sneak outside for photos. A few unique items included the custom made poker chips (since the groom likes poker) with each person’s name placed on the dinner plate to designate their seat, as well as, the fact that our bride actually wore her grandmother’s wedding dress! The style fit our bride & groom’s personality perfectly. I made a special announcement about her dress after the toasts and it was a nice personal moment between our bride and her grandmother. I used eight orange uplights that really added color to the white walls and highlighted some of the architecture on the stage. The little flower girls learned a dance before the wedding so they decided to get out there with all the other bridesmaids and perform! Dancing went really well tonight (especially for a Wednesday night). They kept it going until the end when our bride and groom exited to a tunnel of sparklers. A fun way to send them off.

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Wedding 4/17/10

I knew this was going to be a good one… The Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines is a beautiful location for a wedding. The ceremony was held outside in front of the golf course at the bottom of an enormous staircase. Guests then transitioned to the cocktail hour located on the outdoor patio space complete with lounge furniture, bar, and cigar roller. I set up a wireless speaker to transmit the music and announcements to this outdoor space so guests could stay connected to everything happening inside. The Fairway Pavilion ballroom for the reception looked amazing. One of my favorites to date. A few noticeable details: The tables looked modern yet warm with square plates, textured linens, and Manzanita branch centerpieces that had orchids and hanging candles. Amber colored uplights surrounded the perimeter of the room to add warmth to the walls. The cake was spotlighted and featured the same pattern as the linens. Four lounge areas (one located in each corner of the ballroom) created relaxing social areas for guests. A photo booth was available for guest’s to pile in and capture fun moments throughout the evening. The couples monogram was projected down onto the dance floor to add a personal touch. I was hired for tonight’s wedding to provide lighting, act as their wedding MC, as well as, their San Diego wedding DJ. The group consisted of mostly an older crowd so I mixed things up early on in the evening by playing more swing, oldies, motown, etc. than normal to make sure they were happy. As the evening went on I switched gears a little bit and played more current dance music. The older crowd thinned out after about 10pm but there was a core group of dancers that stayed until 11:30. Even though the group was much smaller this was actually the best part of the night for me. They enjoyed dancing to a large variety of music styles and really were focused on having a great time! The excellent team of vendors really made sure the night ran flawlessly.

W Hotel San Diego Wedding 4/15/10

Tonight was a rare Thursday night wedding downtown at the W Hotel San Diego. The ceremony and reception were scheduled to be held outside at their “beach” area (with a sand dance floor, fire pits, cabanas, etc.) but two days before the wedding it burnt down. We went into panic mode looking at options to move the venue if they still wanted an outside wedding. The W Hotel offered to close down the majority of their modern lounge style restaurant “RICE” and move the event inside. I think it actually turned out to be a better location because it was a cold evening in San Diego. Guests might not have stayed as long if they were outside.

I was hired to perform as their San Diego wedding DJ, as well as, provide music for the ceremony. The ceremony was held at the top of the stairs with guests gathered around. The candles on the back wall made for a nice backdrop. A great quote from the pastor during the ceremony: “The grass isn’t greener on the other side, it is greener where it gets the most water”. Did you water your relationship today?

Our couple wanted a fun, relaxed, playful wedding. There were a few elements that added to this atmosphere: At the entrance there was a tree with colorful bells on it for the guests to take to be used at the end of the ceremony as the exited. We projected a custom butterfly gobo image onto the ceiling. Their “cake” was actually one of their favorite desserts: a huge cookie. They had a “sexy french fry bar” with various dips and sauces. I used the water effect lights to fill the entire ceiling with moving and rippling water. I kept this set to a nice white light early on until dancing kicked in. Once things got going I switched them over to change color throughout the evening. They only had about 35 guests but they really had an excellent time. I played for about an extra half hour because I was also having a great time and they just kept going…

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!

Extras provided: 16 uplights, custom monogram projection, cake spotlighting

Apr 032010

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

Mar 232010

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!
