Step & Repeat Banner for L’Auberge Del Mar!
I’ve done dozens of weddings and events at L’Auberge Del Mar Resort & Spa, so was thrilled when asked by their Team along with our friends at MBK Associates to bring in a different type of product/service. Kitchen 1540 had undergone a major renovation and was holding their Grand Re-Opening party “Sample, Share & Savor” so wanted to spice it up a bit with a Step & Repeat banner to show off the new look and provide a backdrop for guests to snap a few pictures in front of. I provided the banner stand rental...

Jeff & Jennifer held their all inclusive, intimate wedding ceremony and reception onboard the Newport Hornblower operated by Hornblower Cruises in the San Diego Harbor. Hornblower weddings are unique in that you get everything wrapped into one for a wedding with little to worry about. We left the Broadway pier with 35 guests and immediately had the wedding ceremony on the main deck. Afterwards, guests were escorted upstairs for appetizers, drinks and a view of downtown San Diego that one would die for . . . . one of the reasons Jeff &...

I’m super uuber excited to have finally launched our new website and our branding! I may be slightly biased, but I think it rocks and feel like having a beer! Last year, I redesigned my logo and color scheme. Website was next! Having spent the last 6 months and a boatload of man-hours, it’s here. As of now, there are: 97 published pages (18 of them are hidden/password protected for my private client resource center) 17 blog posts (with a bunch more coming . . and I mean a BUNCH!!) 497 images, attached to both blog posts and...

Mandi & Minh brought their 300+ person wedding celebration to the Hilton Torrey Pines for a beautiful reception after a church ceremony earlier in the afternoon. Planning with them was a blast, and included figuring on a “Flash Mob” during the middle of dancing. They are such a happy, sweet couple with “love stories” galore. Guests were treated with appetizers and drinks at one of the four bars setup in two locations for Cocktail Hour, both inside and outside. After moving guests inside the Pavilion Ballroom,...

Jorge and Sylvia held their large, 300+ person wedding in the McMillin Events Center at the NTC Promenade in Liberty Station and wanted to step it up a few notches with some custom lighting to include uplighting and pinspotting for their cake. After an onsite walk-through planning meeting, we set the details and were ready for their big day! Setup had to be done earlier in the day ~2pm and took some pictures as best as possible. The wedding was not nearly setup and was quite bright inside from the daylight sun outside. But it goes to show...
read moreNate & Michelle with Rancho Santa Fe Style
I first met Michelle’s mom and we hit it off right away – booked on the spot and were on our way to planning a unique and memorable wedding for her daughter, Michelle along with her fiance Nate! I later met with them for our detailed planning meeting, and then did an onsite walkthrough for some further planning. Michelle said that they wanted absolutely nothing cliche, stuffy and usual and it was delivered perfectly! During the planning meetings, Nate mentioned over and over that they just wanted to party and have a good time!...
read moreMonet & Joe Ceremony & Celebration at Admiral Kidd Club
Joe & Monet had their combined Ceremony and Reception at Admiral Kidd Club in San Diego – one of the hostest wedding venues around due to the simplicity (though must be attached to the military) and the views of the San Diego Harbor and Downtown. Daytime weddings usually have a different feel overall, but this one didn’t fit the mold. Everything from the gorgeous waterfront ceremony, to the high energy wedding party introductions, to the filled dancefloor during the reception made Joe & Monet’s wedding to be an...

Kelly & Darren held their complete wedding on the beautiful grounds of the Rancho Santa Fe Inn. In one breath you think elegance, but after meeting and planning with them for months, the word “party” kept coming closer to mind. Everyone delivered! It was a large setup as we had four (4) areas of coverage: Ceremony on the Lawn Cocktail hour on the Patio/Terrace Dinner outside the Azalea Room w/ First Dance and Toasts Reception, Dancing & Cake inside Azalea Room In addition, I supplied the Video Slide Show Projection...
read moreBarry & Tatiana Wedding at Mission Bay Hyatt
I was surprised one afternoon when I saw an old contact pop up in my phone when it rang. It had been at least 2 or 3 years since I had spoken with him and was more surprised to learn that my friend, Barry, was planning his wedding! Even his brother joked during the Best Man speech “it was about time!” I worked with Barry for years at Nautronix, as a Project / Systems engineer. We both worked on the same projects which included weeks at a time oversees in places like Korea and Singapore. I parted ways with Nautronix to eventually start...
read moreCandice & Larry – California Style at Grand Tradition
Candice and Larry had a gorgeous Friday evening wedding at the Grand Tradition in Fallbrook, CA. After a ceremony up at the Arbor Terrace garden, the guests came down to the arbor terrace for Cocktails, Dinner and the Reception. I provided Reception DJ/MC Services and created their Video Slide Show which was shown using the built-in projection system at the Grand Tradition (one of the added benefits of GT) After cocktails, the dinner/reception opened up with a set of dual Blessing/Prayers, with one of them done in Romanian by Larry’s...
