Video Dj Wedding at Marriott Mission Valley

  This one was for about 300 people at the Marriott Mission Valley.  Video DJ with two 6ft x 8ft Rear projection video screens.  Jamie & Nick were a lot of fun and went all out for their wedding.  The Grand Entrance consisted of about 49 people in total including Parents, Primary and Secondary Sponsors, Bridal Party and the Bride and Groom. 

  We started off by introducing the Parents and Sponsors, then I played a video that Nick, the Groom, gave to me just before we started.  It was a fully pre-produced NFL style intro video for each bridal party member.  It was probably the most unique thing I'd seen for a wedding in a long time, it was great and the guests really loved it.  Each 20 second segment had a Statistics listing with a framed embedded video clip of the Bridesmaid or Groomsmen.  After the video finished, I introduced each couple Live and the guests were cheering like it was an actual football game.

  After Dinner and the formal dances we got the dancefloor going with some Video DJ action and from there I think they would have danced all night.  The high point of the night was definitely when I mixed the Gangnam Style Video.  The 30ft by 30ft Dancefloor wasn't big enough to hold all the dancers. 

Thank you to Danielle & Jared from Side By Side Cinema for putting together this Highlight Video of the day and to Wedding Coordinator - Meilani Garcia at Ellevent for keeping the track of the guests and timeline and really allow me to focus on the Video DJ'ing.

I didn't turn the camera on much that day but here is one short clip.

Wedding at Paradise Point

  This isn't connected to the previous post (Beach Party at Paradise Point), just happens to be the order that I pulled the video footage.

  Wade and Kristen were one of my funnest couples of the year.  Really fun and easy going and their friends were too, which made for a great party after dinner wiht plenty of old school dance favorites and some current hits too.

  I provided music, wireless microphones and speakers for the ceremony on the lawn, which went off flawlessly except for the slightly overcast skies.  Then I Dj and provided 8 Amber Uplights, Dance Lights and 2 Cake mini spot lights to light the cake table in the Reception room.  The room looked incredible thanks to Rachel Welland at Bliss Events.   



Beach Party at Paradise Point

  This was a Corporate Beach party for about 30-35 people.  I was initially asked to just play beach vibe type music after the Hula Dance demonstration while they hung out and talked at the bar.  But maybe it was the random hotel guest that walked through the party and started doing parkour that got them going. 


But about 80% of them jumped on stage and danced the rest of the night. I guess they just didn't want to dance in the sand.

Greek Wedding at The Grand Del Mar

  It's been a busy 3rd and 4th Quarter here at MMP.  December is shaping up to be a blockbuster holiday season for parties for us.  I wanted to take a quick minute to blog this wedding, its been so long since I posted I wanted to get something new up.  I have a lot more footage to post and parties to blog so stay tuned.

  This one was a great wedding from back in May at the Grand Del Mar.  Wedding designer Thomas Bui made the room look beautiful.  The bride and groom were super cool and just wanted to have some fun.  To make sure that the Greek culture and traditions weren't forgotten they had a band share time with me (The DJ)  I don't remember the bands name (Sorry guys!) but they were good and they play a weekly gig at one of the Greek restaurants here in town. I only took a couple of short clips of the DJ portion of the night but these guys were rockin!  The Greek music was  big hit at first and not as much later as you can see in the video but it was nice to have it integrated into the whole night.

Comic Con Karaoke!

  I love working the side parties during Comic Con San Diego.  These are the parties hosted by some of the various companies that have products or booths at the show.  The attendees are always so enthusiastic and fun. 
 This party was no different.  It was one of the mid sized rooms and the patio at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego plus a couple hundred guests at any given time.  I think a lot of people came in, ate and left to avoid the crowd or to catch a few of the other parties in the area.  It took 20 minutes or so before they started singing but after they started it was back to back all the way until the end of the night.   If you've never been to or hosted a Karaoke bar or party, its great, it gives you and the guests the chance to sing to all your favorites.  We provide the microphones the music track and even a small video screen where the lyrics for each song play in time with the music.  How much easier can it get?  As long as you have a decent knowledge of the song you want to sing the Karaoke system will help keep you on beat, singing ion key is up to you.

Recent Online Reviews!!!

Wanted to share these couple of recent reviews we received on Yelp and Wedding Wire.


5 Star Review from Yelp
The Prado in Balboa Park

Spencer was recommended to us by our reception coordinator at The Prado. He did a wonderful job of keeping everything running smoothly, not rushing us, and allowing us time to enjoy the night. All of our friends and family kept talking about what a great time they had and how amazing the DJ was! We've been to a bunch of wedding receptions and this one just felt like no other, as far as people actually getting out and having a good time and that credit definitely went to Spencer. The variety of music, the lighting, and his interaction with the crowd kept the party going. He listened to what we wanted and hit it right on. Honestly, he was absolutely wonderful! We highly recommend working with Spencer at Mobile Music Plus.

House of Blues - San Diego
Organising my Wedding Party from Australia was always going to make things a little more stressful as you have no face to face contact. Jonny Dupre from Mobile Plus totally got what I wanted. I said I wanted it to be a stand up party with everyone dancing all night not sitting around passively and he made that happen. The music was amazing, his presence as MC was as though he knew us intimately and he was actually like a family friend not someone I actually met on the night!

I want to thank Jonny with all my heart for doing a stand-out job. I would recommend him to anyone.

Karaoke Dance Party at the Prado

  This group was a blast!   In the Loggia Room at the Prado overlooking the Round a bout and the fountain. It took a little while for them to get into the groove, but once they got started they loved Karaoke.  Several times throughout the night singers chose good dance songs and sang them so well that the dancefloor filled up so I just rolled with it and played more dance music.  They were lovin it!  Everything from 70's to Currents, they were dancing, singing and just having a great time.
