We started off the afternoon cocktail hour on the outdoor patio at the El Cortez. Once we moved inside for the reception we kicked things off with a loud and fun mariachi grand entrance! The mariachi continued to play throughout dinner. The flowers and centerpieces were comprised of a variety of vibrant colors. They really stood out against the darker rich colors of the linens and dark woods. A really fun Guinness beer groom’s cake was on display near their “official” wedding cake. I was hired as their San Diego wedding DJ because I DJ’d for their friends wedding about 6 months earlier that was also held at the El Cortez. Popular place! The music tonight consisted of a mix of Latin and American music. The group had a great time and it is always nice to run into past clients!

Jul 312010

The last wedding for this weekend was over at Marina Village in the Seaside Room for around 250 guests. The ceremony was held out on the South Lawn facing the marina and sunset. They released butterflies at the end of the ceremony which is always a nice surprise for guests. We then moved into the Seaside Room for the reception. This is probably the best looking reception I have seen in this room. They really added quite a few special touches to enhance the space and dress up the room. A few of these items included the candy bar, cigar roller outside on the patio, table linens, and the lighting I provided. I spotlighted the cake and projected their monogram gobo down onto the dance floor. This really popped out once we turned the lights down. I also helped provide the slide show that we played during the cocktail hour and mixed a special dance for the bride and her father consisting of six songs. They had fun with it and it was a total surprise for mom since they kept it a secret. The group enjoyed dancing and it turned out to be a really fun wedding to DJ.

Arterra at Marriott Del Mar Wedding 6/12/10

A very cool space and a very cool crowd. We kicked things off with some downtempo music for cocktail hour while guests lounged around the patio area. I introduced the new couple and they went directly into their first dance. It was a party right from the start! Guests pretty much jumped on the dance floor right after their dance at 7:30pm and never left until the end at 11pm. Fire pits kept guests warm and “dinner” consisted of heavy appetizers and sushi which went well with the lounge style atmosphere. I projected the couples names and wedding date onto the wood structure above the sofas to add a personal touch to the space. I truly enjoyed working for this group. They ate up every song and just kept on dancing!

Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Wedding 4/17/10

Apr 172010

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.

Omni Wedding 4/10/10

Apr 102010

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!

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

Tonight I was able to DJ a private party celebrating a 44th birthday at Arterra Outdoor Lounge at the Marriott Del Mar. It was a smaller group but they fully enjoyed themselves, ate some great food, and danced to familiar tunes. I was able to play a large variety of music for them since he was a “young” 44!

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.

San Diego Wedding Venues: Bahia Mission Ballroom

San Diego Wedding Venue Showcase Comments Off

Jan 012010

Here we showcase one of the San Diego wedding venues overlooking Mission Bay. Below you will see a few photos of some of the many lighting options we can provide for your wedding or event in the Mission Ballroom at The Bahia Resort Hotel in San Diego.

These lighting options can really highlight the unique features of this room and also really enhance the photos throughout the event. Uplighting looks great on the columns between the windows. If you are using the A, B, & C ballroom spaces we can use 9 uplights if you want to light up each column like the photos below (one light not in the photo on the far right). We can also add a few uplights on the other side of the room to balance things out and add a little color to those walls as well. Another great option for the blank dividing wall is to project your gobo or monogram up onto the wall. It adds some interest and helps to disguise the wall a little.

San Diego wedding venues come in all shapes and sizes but this ballroom has some unique architectural details. Here is another example of what lighting can do in this space to highlight these features. In the photos below we used 12 uplights in the room and also provided the cake spotlighting. As the sun goes down and the room gets darker you can really see the lighting come to life.

As you can see the cake spotlighting really makes the cake stand out in the room at a distance and also adds some drama to the cake photos. Uplighting adds lots of warm color in the space.

The wedding below was for a large 300+ person wedding using all the ballroom spaces on the top floor. They opted to use blue uplighting to pull some of the colors out of the carpet and bar areas.

The Bahia Resort is located at: 998 West Mission Bay Drive San Diego CA. 92109

Town & Country Resort Wedding 11/8/09

Nov 092009

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
