The Marriott Downtown San Diego was the venue for tonight's wedding. The Seaview Room is a unique room with many options for lighting! Tonight we had many uplights throughout the space. Three custom monogram projections were projected onto the walls. We had their names above the dance floor and then two other patterned images on the side walls to add some interest. Dancing went well for the entire evening and guests had a good time. We used the water effect lighting above the dance floor during open dancing for color and movement. A fun element was the ice martini luge where guests could select their custom flavored martini before it was chilled going down the ice luge. They also had a chocolate fountain with an assortment of fruits, brownies, rice krispies, and snacks to dip.

Today I headed up to Orange County to a beautiful reception site called the Orange County Mining Co. with the ceremony being held at Orange County Heritage Museum. The view from the reception site was pretty amazing overlooking all of the city lights down below. They had one of the most unique custom cake top caricatures made that looked just like their online game versions. The two locations required me to arrive much earlier due to the fact that I had to set up the reception equipment first and then travel 20-30 minutes to the ceremony location to get equipment ready. This wedding was a referral from a bride and groom who had their wedding over two years ago. They trusted me to DJ again for their sister so I really wanted to do a great job. Everyone enjoyed the evening and dancing went pretty well. The bride had gotten sick a few days earlier so she wasn't feeling well towards the end of the evening. They had to leave about 30 minutes early but we were able to get in all the important events and some extra time for dancing. It is always an honor and a pleasure to DJ for past clients and their families!
