Tonight Julie and I were at the always awesome Inamori Pavilion at the Japanese Friendship Garden to celebrate Brian & Kelly’s big day

We both love this venue and so does every client that gets married there, it is rapidly becoming one of my favourite venues in all of San Diego !!

Some great Photo Ops !!

It didn’t hurt to have the wonderful Carrie McCluskey taking pictures and Encore Catering on food

Room looked great (especially with my uplights)

Fun crowd tonight (I had my usual one guest who insisted the groom did not like the music I was playing – even though he had given me specific Bay Area and ATL hip hop songs to play – and got very angry when I politely told her he had requested them, but that is the norm !!! I actually find it quite funny !!)

Full dance floor all night, we could have gone on and on (although judging by the number of shirtless guys by the end of the night maybe we ended when we should have 🙂

Julie and I were at the Inamori Pavilion at the Japanese Friendship Garden tonight to celebrate TJ & Nikki’s big day !!

Awesome vendors tonight, all the staff on site are great and we were lucky enough to have Carrie McCluskey on Photography  and Jared & Danielle from Side By Side on video

Also a special shout to to Jenny Wenny Cakes. If you can believe this all these cookies were hand painted ….

So much going on today I don’t know where to start… From my end I had Uplights, Dance Lights and a Monogram so it was a stressful set up but totally worth it

I learn at every wedding and today we did something new for me… We put a newspaper under one seat at each table and that person had to bring it up to the dance floor and I played a song, when I stopped the music they had to jump on the newspaper and the first one was the first table to go through the Buffet and so on, TJ & Nikki decided who was the first each time and you can tell they were into it !!!

At least one interesting hair style tonight…

Not sure what that is !!!

And my “Knee High Special” was a hit tonight, even if he was a bit shocked to find out what he had done !!

Fun and polite crowd tonight.  It makes a nice change when people make requests and I explain why I may not get to them and they don’t shower me with abuse, but understand…

We eneded the night in style with a tunnel getaway to a classic car from Rolls Livery
