Bahia Wedding 8/29/09

It was a hot one! Close to 95 degrees this weekend on the coast over at the Bahia Resort. Lucky for me the outdoor ceremony near the pond didn't start until 6pm when it was a little cooler. An interesting twist in the ceremony was where the guys and girls walked in from both sides of the ceremony and then the bride walked down the middle. After the ceremony we moved up to the top of the tower on the 5th floor for the reception in the Mission Bay Ballroom. It is a great room because you have windows on both sides. An amazing sunset on one side and then Sea World fireworks at 9:50pm on the other side during the summer. I was looking forward to this wedding because I DJ'd the bride's sister's wedding about 5 years ago. It was a solid dancing group the entire night!

Powerhouse Del Mar Wedding 8/16/09

The highlight wedding for this weekend was over at the Powerhouse Del Mar for the ceremony and reception. The ceremony was out in Seagrove Park within walking distance of the reception. There is no electricity outside so I had to provide a battery operated system to take care of the music and microphone. We moved over to the Powerhouse for the cocktail hour outside on the patio with amazing views of the ocean. Dinner was held inside, as well as, dancing later on. Chile Co. Catering provided the amazing food. They always do an excellent job with extremely unique tastes! The groom was from Hawaii and they had unique centerpieces tonight consisting of native Hawaiian plants. The table names were islands and locations around the Hawaiian islands. I tried to play a variety of music tonight to make sure all ages had a great time. I had to go into a longer "oldies" set than normal while all the young friends of the bride & groom were taken outside for a few group photos. The older guests really kept things going... It was a good group tonight especially since it was a Sunday night wedding that went until 10pm. For more information visit Positive Energy Productions website here: San Diego Wedding DJ

Inn At Rancho Santa Fe Wedding 8/8/09

This weekend I was out at the Inn At Rancho Santa Fe. This wedding required tons of work on my part due to four separate locations needing sound. I had to have multiple systems to cover the ceremony on the grass, cocktail hour by the pool, dinner/toasts/important dances outside in the garden, and dancing inside the Azalea Room. A nice unique touch (that I have not seen before) was out at the ceremony they laid out a huge path of actual lavender (instead of using a white runner) and then the flower girl threw the flowers on top of it as she walked down. They continued with this theme naming all of the tables various spices and herbs. Inside the room they had a great looking chocolate cake with more lavender spread all around the base of the cake stand. It really made the room smell great! I used the white "starry" lights to add a little movement up on the ceiling and create some interest in the room for dancing. Tonight I had a great team of vendors with me as Kevin Roche was taking care of the photography and Mia from Red Letter Days helped coordinate the event.

Coronado Community Center Wedding 8/2/09

I was just at the Coronado Community Center last week and now I am back again for another wedding! The ceremony was held outside on the grass and looked amazing. It was set in a circle with the bride and groom in the center. Guests had a great view from all angles. The reception looked great. I added 8 colored uplights and the white starry lights on the ceiling to create the look they were going for. Lighting can really help out any room! Instead of a cake tonight they had about 10 different flavors of cheesecake beautifully displayed on top of glass vases filled with fruit and flowers. Dancing went pretty well tonight. It was great to see a couple who I DJ'd for 5 years ago (at their wedding). Everyone enjoyed the night.

Bali Hai Wedding 8/1/09

The ceremony today was held out at Centennial Park on Coronado with a great view of downtown skyline! They then rented a large bus to transport their guests over to the Bali Hai on Shelter Island. Tonight I was outside at the Bali Hai under their newly built structure. It looks great and has a modern feel to it. They are going to start renovating the inside early next year. It should look amazing once it is complete! The wedding party arrived by boat and guests started dancing before dinner (see dancing picture below while it was still daylight). After dinner the reception completely went off. The dance floor was 100% packed all night (even a little crowd surfing took place which I don't remember ever seeing at the last 987 weddings). They ended up extending my time for an extra two hours. Easily one of the best weddings I have done this year.
