Another great seven hour wedding down at the Omni Hotel San Diego tonight! We started off with the ceremony on the outdoor Palm Terrace at 5:00pm which is tented for the winter to keep out the cold. Guests moved down to the foyer for cocktail hour from 5:30 until 7:00pm. The ballroom doors opened and we kicked things off with their first dance followed by a few nice toasts. I provided a second microphone for a translator since the bride’s family was from Brazil and her dad only spoke Portuguese. Dinner was then served from 7:30pm until about 9:00pm. The rest of the evening was open for dancing and fun. After about 30-45 minutes of dancing we completed a few last events which included the cake cutting and bouquet toss. At about 10:00pm the bride and groom broke out with a large box of Brazilian Carnival themed party favors that included hats, glasses, and feather boas. I am usually not a big fan of these sort of “props” but this was done in a really fun way and the guests actually loved it. I don’t think it hurt that I played some Brazilian music to enhance the effect. We closed out the night with some great dance music and ended with their last dance at 11:30pm. They demanded “one more song” so I played one last Brazilian song to really close it out. This was a really fun carefree group.

Sheraton Harbor Island Wedding 2/6/10 – San Diego Wedding DJ

Feb 062010

Today I headed down to the Sheraton Harbor Island near the San Diego airport to provide ceremony and reception DJ services for William and Brenda’s wedding. The weather has been really crazy lately and it was scheduled to rain all day. Our couple decided to move the ceremony inside to be on the safe side. We held the ceremony in one room, guests then moved to the foyer for the cocktail hour (they opted not to use the outdoor patio since it was raining), and later were invited into the Catalina Ballroom for the reception. The room looked good with matching linens and chair covers. The centerpieces added some need interest and height. This was a slightly longer event than most (totaling 7 hours of DJ time) so I wasn’t sure how they were going to last. It wasn’t a crazy group but they danced and enjoyed the evening. It turned out to be a fun relaxed group that stayed until the very end. Jason Taylor from Taylor Films captured some excellent video throughout the evening. Here is a link to his site: San Diego Wedding Videographer. I will try to post a link to some video highlights when it becomes available…

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

Private Estate Wedding 4/25/09

It was a long drive but well worth the effort once I arrived. The wedding was at a private estate tonight with the reception held in an enormous 250 person clear tent out on a large grassy area just beyond the pool. There were many unique and personal touches to this wedding. To start with the gifts were all dropped off in a wooden sailboat leaning on it’s side next to the guest book. The ceremony was on a large grassy hill under a huge tree which looked amazing as the backdrop. Cocktail hour was held out by the pool with one of my favorite items… a full sushi bar. The tables looked amazing in the large clear tent with five hanging chandeliers. The black and white checkered dance floor added a fun element. The candy bar had older vintage style candy to go along with their theme. The food was amazing (a four course meal as you can see by the silverware on the tables). Dinner took over two hours so it was a bit long but guests did not walk away hungry. Later on in the evening milk and cookies were brought out as a surprise for the groom (his favorite). Dancing went really well despite dinner taking up so much time. They were ready to have some fun. It tapered off towards the end but I think that was because guests had to drive a long way home. A very impressive wedding to say the least.

Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa Wedding 8/3/08

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.

Extras Provided: 8 Uplights
