We used 8 LED uplights in candlelight or pale gold color for this one.
The Photobooth was out on the terrace and had a steady stream of people ALL night.
The group was ready to dance so I'll let the Video do the talking for this one.

One of our many events last night was lighting for a wedding over the pool deck at La Costa Resort. As usual Crown Weddings exceeded expectations and delivered an over the top success.
The Videographer Benny from EK Media Productions did a quick turnaround on this footage because it was so great!

Alex and Angela got married at Scripps Foruum in La Jolla with a team of truely talented wedding service providers.
Susanne Duffy of Crown Weddings designed the whole thing, Concepts Party Rentals and Adorations Botanicals set all the Floral and decor elements to make the room look amazing, Antony Field was the vocalist that sang during dinner while his band covered the Cocktail recpetion and dinner music while The Youngrens captured it all on camera. My contribution to the event included (20) Teal uplights on the 20ft tall white drape behind the stage and around the room, (2) stage wash lighting pieces for the band, (2) 55" screens for pictures of the bride and groom, Father/Daughter and Mother/Son during each of those dances and rotating throughout the night. The Photobooth was tucked in the side hall and was a big hit as the night progressed. We also arranged all the Audio and Microphones for the Ceremony on the lawn for the officiant and the guitartist. The day started off great with beautiful weather and a Ceremony that went off perfectly and finished out with an incrdible dinner from Coast Catering and I closed the night off with an hour long set of Video DJ dance music.

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.
March 19th I hosted the ABC Excellence awards at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad. Members of the San Diego area Association of Bridal Consultants submit or were nominated for awards based on work that they did in the 2012 Calendar year. Click here for a full list of Award Category Sponsors and donors who made the dinner and meet great. A special thank you to Gloria Dogue of Weddings & events by Gloria who is the ABC programs chair and oversaw the events logistics.
We had a really great plan of how the night would flow and I was planning on being at the AV table in the back making sure everything was perfect. Unfortunately some of our board members were under the weather and we had to switch things up a little. I had to step on stage and host the evenings events and Nick Covino from DJExtreme.com covered the AV duties for me in addition to providing a live on screen twitter feed for the event. Every tweet that mentioned @sandiegoabc posted straight to the video screen for all to see.
I've been DJing for 17 years, I began in nightclubs and then professionally for special events several years later. In 1997, I began as a radio mix DJ at KLUC 98.5FM in Las Vegas and built a weekly syndication of over 28 stations including Magic 92.5 FM in San Diego. In 2000 I helped found and produce "The Digital Groove" a ground breaking House and Techno music radio show syndicated nationally on 14 stations. As a mobile entertainer I developed my skill as a Professional Emcee for special events and now offer a variety of services, Wedding DJ, Emcee, Nightclub DJ, Karoake, and VIDEO DJ. I've worked with artists suchs as Roberta Flack and Earth Wind & Fire and Jay Leno, and I'm as comfortable speaking to an intimate event of 14 guests as I am speaking to a concert of 4,000.
