Named as Co-Director - The Association of Bridal Consultants

I was honored to be named as the new / incoming Co-Director of the San Diego Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC). The group consisting of a mixture of Bridal Consultants and other wedding related service providers focuses on promoting education and good business practices. I'll be serving along side fellow Co-Director Sabrina Cadini of La Dolce Idea, a fantastic wedding planner. I'm excited to jump in and help boost the local organization to new levels. There is already a great Board of Directors in place and membership is on the rise.

If you're planning a wedding the ABC is a great free resource to find some of San Diego's best Wedding planners, vendors and service providers. The members are a group of people who through their membership to the ABC, demonstrate that they are serious about beign the best of the best and continue to educate themselves and network with other like minded professionals to help them be their best.

Video DJ at The Scripps Seaside Forum at UCSD

WOW! If you haven't seen this amazing new property, you really have to stop by and take a look around. Its right next to the La Jolla Pier in La Jolla, its right on the water and the full length glass doors open and fold away for a 1 one of a kind view. Its on Discovery Way in La Jolla and even if you aren't planning a party you can go down park and walk along the water, its great.

The venue is so new, this was the first private event they've had, not including a couple of industry events and Grand opening parties.

This party was for The La Jolla High School Foundation, they're a group of parents and alumni raising money to help fund some of the programs no longer covered by the state (Arts, Sports, Etc.). French Gourmet catered the party and did a great job as always. I brought in (2) 42" Flatscreens, a 12ft x 14ft projection screen and 4 speakers spread around the room and outdoor patio. Kerri the Event Chairperson said one of the things they wanted, was to make sure the party wasn't boring, that it was exciting and fun enough that people would talk about it through the year and look forward to next years fundraiser.

The night started with a cocktail reception and silent auction, dinner and a live auction followed by the party. Early in the evening we used the screens to show music videos mixed with a Thank you slide show for the sponsors.

Video DJ is so much fun. It takes a great DJ performance and adds that visual element, to really get the crowd engaged in the party. I still get a kick out of watching the people as they dance, some people dance while they keep one eye on the screen watching the video of the song they're dancing to, others try to sneak peaks at the screen while trying not to ignore their dance partner.

Video DJ Wedding

From the first time I sat down with Russel and Charlotte, they were really into the idea of having me Video DJ their wedding reception. They were a really nice couple and pulled out all the stops for their big day. Everything from all out floral arrangements and the "Mad Dash" video montage (the videographer shoots footage of the ceremony and then edits it to make it a part of the video montage to be viewed after dinner at the reception) to Dual Spotlights on the First Dance and a Jazz Trio for the Cocktail Reception. Red LED uplights really helped transform the room and compliment the red roses in the florals, the Party Donuts station (http://www.partydonuts.com/) and Photo Booth in the foyer were both a big hit as well.

Video DJ was perfect for this party, the 220 guests were mostly in their 20s and 30s with the 40+ group making up only about 30% of guests. Video DJ delivers that trendy, fresh interactive entertainment that fits that group perfectly.

The night started with a big grand entrance of 52 people, the guests were really riled up by the time the Bride and Groom came in. On to dinner and a performance by the Samahan Philippine Dance Company (Authentic cultural dances). Dual spot lights were set and ready for the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter Dances, the groom then cut in to begin their first dance.

By the time the dancefloor was opened, they were ready. They were on the floor in seconds...

The only thing I would have changed is we had so much to do in such a short time, we didn't really get to do a lot of dancing until later after the Mad Dash Video Montage, the Cake the Bouquet Toss, the Garter Toss and Money Dance.

(Sorry about all of the camera operators in the pictures and video clip, this wedding coverage is being submitted as a feature for an upcoming issue of Exquisite Weddings Magazine, as an article in San Diego Style Weddings Magazine as well as being considered for a wedding TV show - more info later.)

UCSD Video DJ at "the Abbey"

I've had the priveledge of working with several of the committees within the UCSD for quite a few years. While I have have plenty of nightclub DJ experience, I just don't get to use those talents as often during the Weddings and Corporate events I perform for. I really enjoy playing for a good group of college students, UCSD-MUIR is always a lot of fun and for this dance I Video DJ'd their dance at the Abbey in Hillcrest... and it was a huge hit. In these 2 video clips you can see the crowd keeping an eye on the screens while they dance.
