Bonnie & Chris’s Blast Wedding at Paradise Point
Many weddings can be summarized with a few words and “an Awesome Time” does the trick for Bonnie & Chris’s wedding at Paradise Point in San Diego. It started light, fun and friendly, looked absolutely dazzling in the middle and ended with a bang on the dancefloor. Working with great vendors was also a nice touch which helps every wedding! The intimate and joyful ceremony was held on the Island Point lawn and officiated by Deborah Young. Immediately following, guests were...
Read MoreSierra & David Celebrate at The Catamaran
Sierra & David had a Catholic ceremony earlier in the day, but brought their Wedding Reception to the Catamaran Resort in Pacific Beach for a top-notch celebration. Being the big “9-10-11” wedding day, the place was bustling with activity (there were 3 stuffed reception room just upstairs alone.) This was my second Catamaran wedding this summer alone. Don Cole photographed the evening and was a pleasure to work with with his very easy going attitude. This one was extra...

Nick & Renee ended the summer with their Labor Day weekend wedding at the Bali Hai restaurant and what a big celebration it was!

The ceremony was held onsite, at the re-designed ceremony grounds and was officiated by the friendly and ultra-personable Craig Knudsen. Immediately following the recessional of the...

I had the opportunity to help out a great organization while on vacation, the “Bridge to Healing” fundraiser for the Community Hospice program of Tuscarawas, Stark and Carroll counties in Ohio by providing DJ and Emcee services. My Mother ‘volunteered’ me to help (not coincidentally, this event was held the same week as my vacation home – call it a ‘working holiday’.) Thanks to alot of marketing, press and media coverage, the event attracted over 200...

When I first booked with Chiara & Scott, we were supposed to be at another wedding venue in North County San Diego. A few months prior, they switched things up to the magnificent Grand Del Mar resort for a multi-part wedding reception & celebration – and it was a perfect change! It was grand all around, and the celebration went over 7 hours long! After an offsite church wedding, guests arrived for cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres at the Reflection Lawn. Scott & Chiara...
Read MoreAngie & Mike Celebrate Their Waterfront Tom Ham’s Lighthouse Wedding
Angie & Mike came in from Arizona to have their (somewhat) destination wedding. I say somewhat as they and many of their frends and family are from out of town, but they all spend a lot of time boating ouf of San Diego and Southern California. Therefore, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was a perfect venue for them to both hold their wedding and post-nuptial reception! The wedding ceremony was officiated by the infamous Pastor Mike out on the side patio as is common at Tom Ham’s. Following, guests...

Virgil & Penelope have been awesome to work with to prepare for their BIG celebration at the Steel Canyon Golf Club in Jamul, California which turned out to be an awesome place to hold a wedding! Since “Virge & Penny” were going all out, we had multiple planning meetings and a site visit ahead of time to review the arrangement, flow, timeline and all of the event lighting that we were bringing into the Pavilion. It paid off! The wedding ceremony was held right across the...
Read MoreStep & 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...

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....
