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.

Peter & Tianey Shin

This was a great small family wedding, both Peter and Tianey are Korean and many of the attendees made the trip from overseas (korea and a few other countries in the area). Rachel Penichi of Plan-It San Diego always does a great job and this particular wedding happened to fall in her birthday. From experience I knew that it could be difficult to really get this party up to full speed, social dancing just doesn't seem as big in some asian cultures as others.



They had a great time and danced a lot. Peter, the groom, came back after walking his new bride to their suite and thanked me personally. Despite over 15 years of experience, the biggest song of the night surprised me. Hava Nagila; and despite the fact that neither the bride or groom were Jewish, Peter's college buddies, talked him into asking me to play it and they lifted them each in a chair and we did the Hora... at a Korean wedding...

As long as they enjoyed themselves, that's all that's important.
