Destination Wedding at the Hard Rock Hotel with Uplights

A couple of months ago I DJ'd a Destination Wedding for a couple at the Hard Rock Hotel. Kristen at White Wedding Day Events did the big white backdrop behind the head table and dancefloor. I brought in 8 light violet LED lights and DJ'd the night for them.

Here's the clip:


You can get so much from Uplighting for the cost, with just 8-10 lights you can completely transform a room. It allows you to bring down the house lighting and the result is a completely costumized room. It can be one of the colors of your wedding or something to compliment your colors

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.

Customized Rock n' Roll / Video DJ Wedding at the Hard Rock Hotel

Chris and Jennifer went all out on their Rock n Roll themed wedding, I have to give the credit to her wedding planner Jessica Gillon for really making it all come to life. Their Ceremony was on the 4th Floor Woodstock Terrace featured a close friend of theirs singling and playing the keyboard for their music selections. The Cocktail reception was also on the terrace separated by Garden Decor and was all Coldplay, Uncle Cracker and the Killers.

When the guests were invited down to the Legends Ballroom, they were treated to the works. Photobooth complete with costume hats and feather boas, Record shaped Menu cards and actual records (with their personal label of course) as table number signs, the Late Night Party Donut Station and I Video DJ 'd on the Main stage. With the Rock n' roll theme we got to have a lot of fun with the Background music videos, and they had a few close friends that offered some of the best toasts I'd heard in a while, the kind where the audience laughs and cries all within 4-5 minutes. After dinner it didn't take much effort to get the group up and dancing, I was scheduled to play dance music for about 45 minutes to make way for the Closing Act, but once we got going they pushed the final act back a little.

Joey Cape was the Closer and if you aren't familiar with his work, I can best describe him as Jack Johnson meets Grunge, sort of. I have to admit I was a little worried about having a down tempo Acoustic act close the party. Completely the opposite, the group were BIG fans. The keyboard player for the ceremony had actually collaborated on a song for Joey's recent album. I don't usually offer live band PA due to the amount of work involved but Joey was super nice and it was only 3 microphones and 3 Instruments.

One of my favorite features about Video DJ is that I can take monograms, designs and logo and put them right on the screen. If you look on the screen behind Joey Cape in the video clip you'll see Chris and Jenn's logo for the wedding.
