Wedding at the Ritz in Dana Point

Dave & Mari had a great wedding in one of the best ballrooms available at the Ritz in Dana Point. The room has sets of double doors all down one wall which open up to the terrace which overlooks a cliff directly above the ocean. Kelly Aull of Mint Weddings was the coordinator, I'd always heard a lot about her but never had the opportunity to work with her. I must say she was easy to work with and had the night's events well under control all night. That makes my job so much easier.

Corporate Association Karaoke Party

This group rotates their national meeting between 3 cities around the country. That means every 3 years they come to San Diego for their week long conference. I've been lucky enough to provide their entertainment for the past 3 San Diego visits. At first it was just their final night party, then 3 years ago I provided Karaoke for one of the other days of the conference to wrap up the days meetings and let the attendees unwind a little bit. This year they repeated the same order and the karaoke could have gone all night. The Final night party was a blast too. 4 hours of Video Dj for about 500+ of their attendees, they loved it.

VIDEO DJ / 2 rooms, 7 screens, 2 sound systems - ROCKIN'

This party was arranged through one of my entertainment booking agencies that uses me a lot, for his and his clients privacy I won't mention their names but if I printed their names you'd instantly know who they are, both very big / high tech companies here in San Diego. This party was jumpin' from the very beginning. 650+ people in 2 rooms at the Hardrock Hotel in San Diego for this year-end holiday party. The agent brought in a great light show as well as an AV production company to handle the (2) big 12' x 15' screens in the Legends Ballroom to go with my 4 speaker system and (2) flatscreens near the dancefloor. AV then ran video and audio signal to The Edge ballroom across the foyer where there were (3)50" screens and a 4 speaker EAW sound system.
No Videos during dinner but once I started playing dance music videos after dinner the dancefloor in the main room filled up immediately, my style of video DJ'ing keeps me very active and involved so although I didn't have a chance to go look in the other room, I'm told that the dancefloor was packed over there too.

Carlsbad Forum Tree Lighting

For the second year in a row, I've been called on to do audio and lighting for the tree lighting ceremony to kick off the Christmas Shopping Season at the Carlsbad Forum. My good friend Joan Burns of Sampson & Associates is the event planner and always does a fantastic job of keeping all of the moving pieces of the growing community event together, on track and on time. 2 Singers, the Carlsbad Canyon High School Marching Band was on hand as always to help make it a special night. This band is really good, they were invited by the queen to play in England this spring and their 5 song set included songs by Shakira and Lady Gaga. I mean come on! Shakira and Lady Gaga from a high school Marching band... That Rocks! No more fight songs and boring stuff that we've all seen at every high school football game since the beginning of time.
Santa and Sarah from Jack 100.7FM as the Emcee rounded out the entertainment bill. Even with my 12 years in Radio I'd never met Sarah before but she was really good at keeping the crowd involved and the night flowing from performance to performance.
I provide a 4 speaker sound system with 6 microphones and stage wash lighting to give light to the show.

94th Aero Squadron - Friday Nights

For over 10 years I have managed the DJs for Friday nights at the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant and Bar in Kearny Mesa in San Diego. This World War 2 Themed restaurant has a Friday happy hour that has always been busy. The local work force starts to come in at about 5 and by 7 or 8 the club is usually full. The music format has always been R&B, Hip Hop and Old School with a little bit of Dancehall and Latin mixed in. The music further breaks down into mostly R&B (both new and old)and old school from 6:30 til about 8:30 or 9pm to fit our 30+ something crowd. Then as the night club crowd rolls in, anything goes from 9 or 10 til close. Since the early crowd tends to be a little older average age than the late crowd, I usually play the early shift since my years as Dr Boogie at Magic 92.5FM give me a lot of range in that music genre.
The DJ Booth is fully equipped with a pair of Technics 1200 turntables and a dual deck CD player. We play on the 1200s using the CD player as a back up for drops and other production needs.

Wedding DJ - Mobile Music Plus at Scripps Seaside Forum

Kelly and Elaine's wedding at the Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla was a blast. I provided an extensive sound system to cover both outside for the Ceremony and inside for the Reception. NRG provided a pianist to play the Ceremony I ran the PA for them to be heard on the lawn during the Ceremony and then used the wireless link to runt eh same music inside to the speaker system as people gathered when we got started. After the Ceremony, guests most moved inside for cocktails and dinner while a few stayed outside. Since the music was now being being played inside we needed to run another wireless link so the music could be held outside so that as guests came outside to enjoy the patio lounge throughout the night the music could still be heard. kool. Party Rentals provided their one of a kind Glow tables, Plush Lounge provided some of the outdoor lounge furniture. San Diego Stage and Lighting provided uplighting and some intel Dancefloor lights. Altogether it was quite a sight all designed and created by Anseth Richards the Event Coordinator from Creative Occasions and The Bridal Bar.

From meeting with Kelly & Elaine prior to the wedding we determined that they wanted to create an atmosphere where guests could dance to some of the classics throughout dinner and then turn the party up a notch after the guests finished dinner.

Wedding DJ at the Hotel Del Coronado

Another Mobile Music Plus - September Wedding that I'm just now getting around to posting about. These guys were a little more on the rock n roll and Country side, but they had a great time and danced a lot. It just goes to show that what you need for a wedding is a DJ that can handle anything and adapt to any theme and mixture of guests to play the right music to get your crowd dancing.

Video DJ Wedding at the Dana

Tim & Ivana were awesome! Super Organized about every detail, yet easy going throughout the night. She wanted their video montage as well as a surprise video presentation by their friends as part of the Grand Entrance. A close friend of theirs' Emceed the Grand Entrance and then I took over from there. The Video Screen was 6' x 8' after the party got started I video DJ'd the dance party wit music videos play a combination of requests and songs I knew would be big with that audience. One of the requests was for "Like a G6" by Far East Movement. That's a fun song and a big song in top 40 right now (October 2010), but when she told me why I was surprised to hear that she wanted me to play the song/music video because her brother was in the Video... He's in the group "Cataracs" hip hop group that collaborated on "Like a G6"
I also provided music for the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. If you're looking for a prefect wedding location. The Dana on Mission Bay has a ceremony lawn that overlooks the water, the recently remodeled Ballroom and surrounding area is unmatched around San Diego and THE STAFF, is really great at what they do. Keith in the office, Tim & Rob head up the Catering Staff team and I can tell you honestly because I'm behind the scenes a lot and I see everything. They don't miss anything, they are truly one of the best Catering teams around.

Video DJ & Karaoke Wedding and uplighting at Tom Hams Lighthouse

A fun little September wedding reception in the small room at Tom Hams Lighthouse in Point Loma for Joe & Jean. I don't think they thought their family would cut loose, dance and have a good time. That was one of the main reasons they selected Video DJ for the reception so that the guests would be visually entertained even if they didn't dance a lot. As the wedding date got closer, they asked to add Karaoke entertainment since they had some singers in the family. The room was a little crowded with their 60~ guests. The (2) Video Screens, Karaoke lyrics monitor and the (8) LED Uplights along with the dancefloor didn't leave much extra space.

They had several really good singers to start off and then the dancing started...

Video DJ at Loews Coronado

This is a past party that I did and recently got some video footage from. Video DJ for the Employees at Loews Coronado and as usual it didn't disappoint. Video DJ, if you aren't already familiar with it, is: Picture a party with A GREAT DJ, now imagine that party with two video screens where the music comes to life in the form of Music Videos and Rare Concert Footage, some of which are one of a kind and can't be found anywhere except in my music video library. By using these amazing videos I orchestrate a seamless performance that you just have to see to appreciate the range and engaging element that it brings to a party.

Rancho Santa Fe News -

I was recently quoted / featured / talked about a little bit, (depending on how you look at it I suppose) in the the online version of Ah-Ha, The Rancho Santa Fe News by Sabrina Cadini. She's a really talented wedding and Event planner and also the president of the San Diego Chapter of the Association of Bridal Consultants.

She writes...
Think about a party without music… Great food, décor and people are not enough to set the right atmosphere. Music plays a very important role in any celebration, and here’s how you can create a successful event for your guests... Read More

Rock n Roll Wedding at Orfila Vineyard

Bryan & Teri were a really nice couple that were fantastic to work for. They were pretty easy going, they had some requests but for the most part just gave me some music likes and dislikes and told me to run with it. This is a great wedding to illustrate that every wedding I play is different. The Clip is the last song of the night, which was one of the brides "really like this song" choices. Check it out.



I also provided a PA system with wireless microphones for the Ceremony and music for the Cocktail hour for them too.

Brazilian Wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado

Todd & Gisele's wedding was awesome. Gisele is originally from Brazilian so they brought in a Brazilian band complete with 2 dancers. It was a huge hit and was like Carnival right there in the Coronet Ballroom at the Del. I brought in (2) 42" Video Screens to show their video montage and then video Dj'd with Music Videos after the Brazilian Band finished their short appearance. I even included a few Brazilian Pop Music Videos. Before the night started, I set 8 LED uplights that were set to rotate between blue and violet every 10 minutes throughout the night.

Armenian Wedding - La Jolla Country Club

This clip is from July 2009, I just realized I didn't post the clip back then. Lots of fun, Armenian and Traditional Wedding music and top 40 mixed in.

Wedding DJ at the La Jolla Bridge Club

I DJ'd a really fun one this past weekend for Monica & Elliot. Ceremony on the lawn just outside the La Jolla Bridge Club overlooking La Jolla Shores. I provided the sound system along with a wireless lavaliere (lapel) microphone for the pastor, a wireless handheld Microphone for the Bride and Groom to recite their own vows, then we connected a keyboard and saxophone Mic for a special song to be played during the ceremony.
After the ceremony the guests moved around to the patio and lawn area for a cocktail reception while photos were taken on the beach and cliffs. Dinner at the Bridge Club for larger groups is enjoyed on the lawn along with the first dance and toast. Then we moved into the clubhouse for dancing starting with the Father Daughter Dance. The Bride's father had the idea of beginning the dancing with a traditional song and then having James Brown - "I feel good" kicking about halfway through so that the guests could join in for the party. The Guests were fired up and ready to dance, they danced for about the entire hour and a half except when we stopped briefly for another of the Bride's father's surprise performances... see the video for more.

Hotel Del - Grand Ballroom

Had a great little wedding at the Hotel Del Coronado last night with a couple from Budapest. They split their time in Budapest and LA, so the group of 60 was just the friends and family that lived here in California and the ones from abroad that could make the trip.
The ceremony was out on the Vista Walk with a string quartet who moved inside the Ballroom for the cocktail reception. I Emcee'd as the night got started with the Grand Entrance straight into the first dance Whitney Houston "I believe in you & me" the guests were invited to join half way through the song and 1 more dance song before dinner to get their blood pumping.

A nice little Jazz Trio played during dinner with me filling in during their breaks with the formal toast and some background music. It was a fun little party and you really can't beat the awe inspiring Grand Ballroom at the Del. There really isn't anything like it when its fully lit and decorated. The Wedding Coordinator was Victoria Schroeder of Coronado Weddings, truly one of the best around. Paul Barnett was the photographer and is well known for his amazing work I can't wait to see the pictures. Here are a couple advance shots...

Corporate Show with Karaoke at The Grove of Anaheim

This show was so much fun! An American Idol spin with the guests singing Karaoke, ok so far no big deal, I've been doing parties like that since the Kelly Clarkson days of Idol. This show was different, it was on the main stage at The Grove of Anaheim. A 1500 seat theatre adjacent to Angel Stadium in Anaheim that is complete with a full stage, Pro Sound array and full stage lighting rig. This stage has seen an amazing list of performers, Los Lonely Boys, 3OH!3, Sinbad the Comedian, Jordin Sparks the Go-go's, Snoop Dogg and Three Dog Night. I only missed Willie Nelson and Jefferson Starship by a few days.
There were only about 800 people in the group but seating for Dinner service made the room look full. The doors opened at 7 and the show began at 8 with me as the Emcee introducing Paula and Simon. Well, not the real Paula or Simon, but two look alikes from Hollywood that were excellent at the delivery. Our Paula was a little Ditzy and liked almost everyone, while our Simon was true to form and a little rough on some of the singing groups and I got to play Ryan for the evening. The Karaoke was a HUGE hit we had more singers than we had time to get them on stage.
I love playing real music venues and walking in the same halls and sitting the same dressing room as amazing artists like Al Green. I just have to hire someone to come get me just before the show and say "They're ready for you on stage Mr Bezy."

Dj & Dancing - Wedding at The Lodge at Torrey Pines

I recently DJ'd a really fun wedding at the Lodge, in the Ballroom overlooking the 18th green of Torrey Pines South Golf Course. Uplighting and a wonderful dinner really set the tone for the party. Dinner took awhile to serve all of the courses so when it finished the guests were ready to dance.

The Lodge at Torrey Pines always makes me feel like I'm in a secluded 5 Star resort, which I guess it sort of is. But its so quiet around the grounds, even when the golfers are next door at the course. Inside it's a very luxurious look and feel, everything from the beautiful wood accented walls to the top of the line service by their staff.

DJ - Wedding at Villa Amore

A great wedding for some long time clients and friends that I've known for years. The Villa Amore is an estate in Temecula tucked in amongst the vineyards. The grounds of the Estate are really beautiful and a perfect setting for a wedding ceremony. The Ceremony and Dinner were in the courtyard and the dancing was on the outdoor patio on the opposite side of the property to help contain the noise for the surrounding properties.

BizBash - LA

BIZBASH was fantastic, a great opening keynote speaker Mindy Weiss the Amazing wedding planner to the Stars. Volt! The Official BizBash after party was great. It was the creative vision of many but Jack Weiner and Anthony Griffin of kool. Party Rentals were the driving force behind the event. The after party was held in the Penthouse of Pacific Electric Lofts in downtown LA, which is a beautiful space but without furniture it was really just an empty box. kool. Party Rentals took care of that with their signature LED lit furniture. Dining Tables, Cocktail Tables, decorative 20 foot tall columns and even a white bed floating on an LED cloud, it really seems like their is no end to the magic that they can bring to an event.



I made a few laps around the exhibit floor just after the keynote session and then headed off to prepare for THE After Party of the year. It was hard to tell how many attendees we had, the space was so big that it was hard to see everyone at once. I Video DJ'd some light house music to give it that kool loungy, club vibe. The videos were a big hit and the food and drinks were amazing too. I met a lot of great special event industry professionals and have already had some talks about performing for some of their events later this year.

BizBash LA - 2010

Getting geared up for Biz Bash this week in LA. You can still go online and get a pass to attend. I'll be Video DJ 'ing, spinning Videos at VOLT - the Official Biz Bash After Party being hosted by the great team at kool. Party Rentals. They've lined up some great sponsors to make it an after party you'll never forget!

DJ at Padres Home Opener

I was lucky enough to get to play the Omni Premiere Club in Petco Park on April 12th, for the Padres home opener just before the first pitch. I also provided uplighting and 2 Padres Gobos for another party held in the Candy Factory near the "Park in the Park". Kool Party Rentals brought in some amazing white leather furniture with their glowing LED and acryllic tables. The room looked amazing. Due to MLB and Padres logo use requirements I can't share any pictures but it was really impressive. It was a lot of fun to be in Petco park setting up before the crowds, Colbie Caillat sang the National Anthem that day, about 3 hours before game time she went to the field for a sound check with her guitarist, sang the whole national anthem and then "Bubbly" from start to finish and it sounded as good as it does on the youtube link below.

Karaoke at the House of Blues San Diego

Provided Deluxe Karaoke at the House of Blues in San Diego last week complete with Audio Recordings of each singer as a take home. 200+ guests filled the HOB with a Dance DJ in the main room and the Karaoke Lounge in the adjacent room. It took about about 30 minutes for the group to warm up to the idea but once they got started they sang for 4.5 hours straight. For More information on having Karaoke at your party, go to the Mobile Music Plus website

Video DJ at Anthology in San Diego

I've been the on-air Mix DJ for Magic 92.5 since 1998 under the name, Dr Boogie. Anthology, San Diego's Live music venue, had me come in along with Xavier The X-man to Video DJ for the night March 13th. Anthology is by far my favorite venue to Video DJ in San Diego. 10 screens including the big 15 foot screen above the stage the videos are everywhere! Anthology has 2 shows per night on the weekends, a 7-9 and a 10-12. LadySmith Black Mombasa was the 7pm show, they are the African Accapella group that used to back Paul Simon in the 80's. I made sure to show up early for my show so I could catch the last part of their set. It was very different, but very cool. Those guys deliver a great vocal performance but they really have some amazing choreography. At times it was hard to tell what was rehearsed and what was improvised. The 7pm show was sold out so at 9:15 when it was over it took a little time to clear the room for the line of Magic listeners forming at the front door. It didn't take long to get the crowd dancing, I've got some video clips to edit together. I'll post those as soon as they're available. You can catch my mixshow on www.Magic925.com or 92.5 FM at 5pm Monday-Friday. You can also download free mixes at my website www.mobilemusicplus.com by signing up in the sign up box in the upper right corner.

Wedding DJ at the Parker Meridian in Palm Springs

The last weekend in February I DJ'd a wedding reception for a great couple, Mike & Kelly Nathenson. Their wedding was at the Parker Meridian Hotel in Palm Springs. They had some great music requests that they wanted to work into the reception including a couple of songs from Phoenix. Phoenix is probably my favorite breaking band of 2009. They've been around for a little while but they're really gaining popularity in recent months. I provided 10 uplights around the room to with a warm "Candle Light" color which made them a appear a little warmer than a natural white light bulb would look and provide plenty of light so that the hotel lighting could be turned down.

The wedding was with one of my favorite coordinators Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings. We started things off with the first dance and immediately opened the dancefloor for the guests to join them and dance a quick couple of songs. Although I don't always do an early dance set for most of the weddings I perform at, it always seems to lead to a more successful party. Once they finished dinner and the specialty dances, it was back to the dance floor...ALL NIGHT. They started dancing and the next thing I knew the night was over. Sorry the Video gets a little dark later in the clip, the uplights got unplugged to increase the ambiance.



That Hoe Down sounding song is "Gin & Juice" by Phish a fun spoof on the classic Snoop Dogg song. They told me during our first meeting that their friends would love it, and they did.

Video DJ at La Jolla Spa MD Grand Reopening

Late February I Video DJ'd the Grand Reopening of La Jolla Spa MD in La Jolla. The Guest List of 500+ was invited in Paparazzi style with a Red Carpet entrance and check in, next upstairs for several stops on their "Trip Around the World" with each stop offering a different regional cuisine. Their final stop was back in the main lobby and boutique area adjacent to the Auditorium where they were treated to "The World's Hottest Night Club" featuring San Diego's original Video DJ, Spencer Bezy. Additional 42" flat screens and speakers were run to the front lobby to tie the entire lower level together.

Soul Train - Video DJ in Las Vegas

I was the opening DJ for the Soul Train Party in Las Vegas at the "Top of the Riv" Riviera Hotel. Close to 2000 DJs from aroudn teh world gather in Las Vegas every February to learn from each other, talk about new trends and new equipment on teh market. Days are filled with Seminars and Demo Sessions on various topics. The Nights are a serious of parties with different themes. 2010's conference opening night was a Soul Train Party and since my on-air role at Magic 92.5FM in San Diego is so similar to the classic Soul Train playlist it was a natural fit. I opened with 45 minutes of old school Video DJ, playing videos from Marvin Gaye, Klymaxx, The Whispers and O'Jays. I am proud to have one of the largest old school music video libraries in the country. After my set the Don Cornelius look-a-like host introduced some feature entertainers that brought back some old classic dances via a little Crowd interaction. DJ Toad from Ohio came in to close the last 45 minutes of the party with more videos. Taking the same stage the following night were Coolio and Sugarhill Gang (honestly not the best performances I've seen), then the 3rd night was DJ Kool came in to DJ and sing his "Let me Clear my Throat!". That was a great show.
