This wedding was at the El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano. I helped provide the equipment for a slideshow that was worked into the toasts from the best man and maid of honor. The location has a retractable roof that opens up during the couples first dance which is always a surprise to guests. The brides grandpa actually played in the big bands with Glenn Miller and a few other major artists so we had to play a few in honor of the greats!!! It is not too often that you get to spin a few of those tunes in front of the actual band members… Cool dancing crowd that wanted some electronic music towards the end.

Tonight’s N.A.C.E. (National Association of Catering Executives) Meeting was held at the Omni Hotel Downtown. A great place right next to the ballpark. The international guest speaker and author Susan Clarke spoke about “Positive Attitudes: The Fun-Damentals of Work” which emphasized the importance of maintaining positive values by sharing real-life examples of how to better enjoy the work environment through finding humor in everyday rituals. Susan touched on attitude adjustment, values, positive energy, and internal and external customer loyalty.

I was back at the La Jolla Women’s Club tonight for another great wedding. This was a referral from a couple that has been to four friend’s weddings I have performed at. The ceremony was out front on the lawn. Some nice touches were the “Dancing Shoes” or Flip-Flops that were available for guests near the dance floor if they wanted to kick off their heals, etc. They had a candy bar as well which seems to be the trend lately. The uplighting I provided really adds to the room and matched their color exactly. It was a fairly strong dancing group tonight.

Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa La Jolla Ballroom is one of the best locations to have a wedding. A very fun and unique moment was the Lion Dance to kick off the evening (see photo below). The reception was on a Sunday night 7pm until 12 midnight so I wasn’t sure how guests would react to dancing since it was pretty late. They were an amazing group and you would have never known it wasn’t a crazy Saturday evening. They danced all night until the very end. The uplights matched perfectly with the room decor in an amber color and added just a bit of warmth to the walls and photos. Botanica always provides a clean and contemporary look to the centerpieces and florals. It was great to once again work with Theorie Photography and EverAfter Events Coordinators.

Manchester Grand Hyatt Wedding 8/2/08

A princess themed wedding at the Manchester Grand Hyatt downtown. A great location to work at. There were some special touches at this wedding: a very unique cake, glass slippers for the name card holder, glass cake topper, the “all blue” theme, as well as, the 10:00pm snack break when they brought out sliders and blueberry smoothies. The cake was spotlighted and I also added the water effect lights above and around the cake (in a matching blue color) to really make it stand out. Group dynamics were way off tonight due to a few factors behind the scenes that I was not aware of in advance. I think it also had a lot to do with the fact that the ballroom they were in could hold 400 people and they only had around 140 people. The dance floor was also the size of a football field and could have easily fit 200 people out there. Sort of an awkward feeling…

In the past 15 years this is the best I have ever seen the Marina Village – Sunset Room look. They used a lot of rich red fabric to drape the walls and add some depth. Their nautical theme was really played up in many areas from the entrance area to the centerpieces. I nice idea on the head table was to have a framed photo of (each bridesmaid with the bride or each groomsman with groom) to indicate where they were sitting. An excellent dancing crowd tonight!

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.

Bahia Resort Wedding 7/19/08

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.
