The Bristol Hotel San Diego Roof OpensThe Bristol Hotel in downtown San Diego has one of the most unique elements within it’s Starlight Ballroom reception space. The ceiling opens! Guests are usually totally surprised because most often this is kept as a secret before the big event. Most couples choose to open the roof during their first dance.

Tonight’s wedding couple decided to have their ceremony in the ballroom. A fun moment was when they opened the roof right as the bride was walking down the aisle.

Some unique elements to this wedding were the Halloween inspired cake complete with a red candied apple ontop, the personal first dance song that was sung by a friend, and the large “B” for the couple’s last name that I projected onto the dance floor.

It was a perfect day for an outside wedding at L’Auberge Del Mar! This afternoon we kicked things off with the ceremony on the top Pacific Terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

We were treated to an amazing sunset for during dinner and cake cutting. The bride & groom made personalized bottles of wine & cigars for each one of their guests which were fun & unique favors.

As you can see below the cigars were a big hit with the guys and made for some great photos. It was a small reception tonight with about 50 guests. Dancing went fairly well considering the size of the group. Nice and warm outside for an evening of fun!

Bahia San Diego Wedding CakeThe Bahia Resort is a San Diego wedding venue located on Mission Bay. The property has a few different ballrooms available, as well as, a few different locations for an outdoor ceremony. Tonight’s couple started off with their wedding ceremony outside by the pond. This area is tucked away in a garden and is fairly hidden from the main resort. After the ceremony guest’s headed up to the Mission Ballroom which is on the top floor of the main tower. The large windows provided excellent views of the water and the Sea World fireworks in the summer.

One unique wedding item tonight was the large map located at the entrance. The tables were all named after places the bride & groom had traveled to in the past. Each location was pinned and the guest’s names were all connected to that location. The flowers were also unique colors and extremely vibrant.

They hired me as their San Diego wedding DJ but I also provided quite a bit of lighting tonight. The lighting included 12 uplights and a custom gobo monogram projection. The projection of their names onto the wall really helped distract attention away from the fact that it is an airwall. The uplighting added warmth and interest to all of the columns in the ballroom. All of this really dressed up the room.

Dancing went really well tonight. They were ready to get up after dinner and we didn’t stop until the very end. Overall a very fun wedding!

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.
