Navy Wedding at Loews Coronado with DJ, uplights and Open area photobooth.

   Navy Wedding at Loews Coronado - this wedding is a perfect example of this: As a DJ its not about playing the hot new songs or "keeping it real" or anything else that DJs will tell you are the important aspects of being a great DJ.   It really all comes down to playing the music that the guests love and will have fun to, whether that Pitbull or the Beatles.
  We provided the Photobooth with a black drape backdrop so it was more of a mini studio than a booth.  Amber LED uplights and DJ for the Ceremony and Reception.
  Tim Otto did a great job on the photography as always and Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings,  the Event Designer and Coordinator is always the best.

Wedding Reception at Hotel Parisi in La Jolla.

This was a Destination Wedding for a couple from Phoenix, AZ. They brought the whole group of guests with them and booked every room in the boutique style hotel so they had Parisi to themselves and they were here to party. They got married at the park down near the beach then came to Hotel Parisi for a Cocktail Reception in the main Lobby, Dinner downstairs in their event room (during Dinner the Lobby was transformed from A Cocktail Reception layout to a Dance Party configuration) and then back to the upstairs Lobby for the Party.



This wedding was a lot more hip hop and Top 40 than I play at most weddings, but that's really just a great example showing that you need a DJ that can take the play and don't play lists that you give them and mix that with the requests that come from the guests and with the other songs the DJ knows will get the group dancing. Sometimes that means Hip Hop and top 40, other times it means the Beatles and Aretha Franklin. It's impossible to predict so you need a great DJ for your wedding that can play the right mix of music for your party.

Loews Coronado Wedding DJ and Emcee

I love working at Loews in Coronado, I always notice that the staff there is amazing. Not just the Chef for making a great meal or the banquet captain for providing great meal service but also the every server and worker ever when I load equipment into the back service hallway. They all smile and say hello... you can't teach that! They genuinely love their jobs and it shows in everything the hotel does.
For this Wedding I provided music for the Ceremony, cocktail reception and the Dinner Reception which was a great party, as I normally do, I served as the DJ and the Emcee for this wedding. I really try to always provide the gentle guidance required by an effective Emcee with the fewest number of announcements. I just don't think I should be the focus of someones wedding. The Emcee should be there to help make the night better, not to take over the night.

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.
