Carmel Mountain Ranch Corporate Party DJ & Lighting
A past bride of mine contacted me after 4 years since doing her wedding, and they were looking to “change things up” with their holiday party being held at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club. They had also re-branded themselves with a new identity and logo so wanted to help show it off. After recommending a custom gobo monogram projection using their new logo, along with some uplighting to match their coporate colors, the stage was set. The corporate holiday party included cocktails and hors d’ourves, a mutli-national...

December weddings are always a pleasure and helping Natalie & Jeff with theirs kept this promise true! They held their complete weddings on location at Wiens Family Cellars Winery in Temecula, CA.

read moreDoes your DJ allow you to bring your own music?
During a recent initial consultation with a bride & groom and they asked if they were able to supply some of their own music for their wedding. It’s a good question to ask of your DJ, especially if you have some “non-standard” music – meaning songs that aren’t publically available for purchase (through iTunes, Amazon.com or similar) Most of the time it’s something along the lines of “my brother is in a band and we want to play some of their songs during cocktail hour.” Or, at one of my...

This is a second post entitled with the words “Elegant Bash” as it is also the same thing that comes to mind with Jennifer and Zachery’s wedding celebration held at La Valencia Hotel overlooking the Pacific in La Jolla, CA.

At the same time, the friendship and love (and beverage) were flowing so it turned into a Bash and a Half! The wedding ceremony was held at the lawn overlooking the pacific and...
