2013: A GLASZY Year in Review...

Talk about a year that flew by…2013 was such an amazing year!

Starting this crazy adventure, was the best decision we've ever made, even though we've been DJing parties and weddings since 2007.


It’s been a extremely good year for us in both our business ventures and our personal life.
It’s also been one of the most creative years we’ve ever had!

We were blessed to be a part of a lot of couples most precious moments, as they became husband and wife. We were honored to help celebrate their union with their family and friends and more important, we were blessed to gain new friendships along the way.

We also had the chance to DJ wedding anniversaries, school dances, birthday parties, fundraisers and holiday parties and meet so many great people at each event.
We feel so blessed looking back to this year!


As we come to the end of 2013, we expect 2014 to be just as great with some fabulous new events.
We also have some new things coming that we know you’ll love. <– Teaser alert!

We signed new partnerships with some of the best venues and catering companies in San Diego and we look forward to working with them in 2014.

This year has been a turning point in our lives as we started to build a reputable company that focuses on the customer. A majority of our business is word of mouth from past clients and direct referrals from some of the best wedding vendors in the area. We take this as a great compliment.

We’ve learned so much this year! All our events were so different, we improved our capacity to adapt to each of them and gave 200% to all of our clients.

But we totally know that all this greatness would have never been possible without the support of our families and friends.

Thanks so much for your support and believing in us. Merci a tous!

Thanks also to the artists who create beautiful songs and music everyday, because without them, let's face it, we are nothing!

We are so excited to hit 2014! If we had one wish, we would ask 2014 to be as good as 2013!

From Ryan & Sevy here at Glasz Productions, may you have a Happy New Year and Stay Glaszy!

Holiday Party: Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market- Marina Village- San Diego - 12-20-13

Glasz Productions was the DJ of choice for Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market Holiday Party at the Marina Village Conference Center in Mission Bay. 

The party was held in The Marine Room facing the marina and boats, it was a beautiful  waterfront setting.
Catering was provided by The House of Thai from Point Loma.

This is the first year we have worked with the company for their Company Holiday party
We had the great pleasure to meet Jamie Decker, the Financial Manager & Advertising Representative, during the Ocean Beach Mainstreet Association' Sundowner a few months ago. 
She mentioned that they were looking for a DJ/ Emcee to entertain their annual Holiday Party.
Nancy Casady, the General Manager, and Jamie decided to hire us.

The Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market is a member-owned vegetarian consumer co-op that has been serving the Ocean Beach community since 1972.

 130 guests were present including a lot of kids!

Unlike other DJ companies we actually work with our clients to help create a fun and festive holiday celebration that keep the employees wanting to come to the holiday party every year and not having to worry about the same predictable thing happening every year.

We mixed in some Holidays Music with old hits and newer tunes.
As the evening progressed we transitioned into a Karaoke Party and then a dance party that had the dance floor filled the entire time of dancing. 


We had such a great time and were amazed with the kindness of everybody! This Holiday Party, was for sure a big success!

You guys ROCK!!!!!!!

Holiday Party: Animal Behavior College- Van Nuys- 12-14-13

 

We were so excited to be a part of The Animal Behavior College Holiday Party. 

When we heard that they chose the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant in Van Nuyswe couldn't wait to do our first event there!

The Animal Behavior College is  the largest vocational school specializing in animal career training programs.

As dog lovers ourselves we were delighted to entertain animal lovers!

Nestled in the heart of Van Nuys and adjacent to the world's busiest general aviation airport is the 94th Aero Squadron Restaurant.

The day of the event we were so happy to see how everyone was working as a team to bring this event together. Debbie Brown, the94th Aero Squadron Catering Director, and her staff were great to work with.

Cristina Acuna, The Animal Behavior College’s Human Resources Manager, did a great job planning this Holiday Party and putting the event together for 150 people.

 

We had planned 2 playlists for the cocktail hour and the dinner.

An Eclectic mix of modern and classics songs with the the traditional Holidays tunes.

When we first spoke to the client and talked about our services they asked about Karaoke.

So we decided to use Karafun Software, and were able to offer a catalogue of over 17,000 songs, we provided the wireless microphone.

We had the great pleasure to listen to Cristina Acuna and Steven Applebaum, the Animal Behavior College’CEO! Great voices!

Once they were all happy and full Ryan kicked off the dancing!

This Holiday Party was a great success and it was so nice from Steve Applebaum to demonstrate his appreciation and thoughtfulness to the people who helped his business!

Weddings Celebration- Private Estate- Encinitas- 11-23-13

For the 1st time in Glasz Productions history we had a Double Wedding!

Jeffrey & Rosely, and Jeff & Lauren were our 2 beautiful couples last Saturday.

When we say a double- wedding that means that we were the DJs for 2 post weddings celebrations.

These 2 couples got married in Colorado and San Jose last summer.

Their parents, John & Sue, contacted us to be part of their event in Encinitas.


It was a gorgeous day and the setting was lovely as we could see the ocean from the reception location!

"I Feel Good"by James Brown was their choice for their Grand Entrance.

After a fantastic meal provided by Edith from the French Gourmet and some heartfelt toasts and we enchained with their first dances.

As soon as they started to dance,we all witnessed a beautiful orange sunset as the sun went down over the ocean! Such a magical moment!

And we started the dancefloor. 

We included classics like "Do you love me" by the Contours and "Shout" by The Isley Bros. as well as newer hits like "Wake me up" by Avicii & "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke.

The dancefloor was crowded from the beginning till the end!

We had so much fun with the guests!


A special thank you to Rick & Sandy for their great energy and their hospitality!
 

Congratulations to our 4 newlyweds and their parents!

7th-8th Grade Dance- All Allows Academy- La Jolla- 11-22-13

For the second time this year, we had the great pleasure to be the DJs for the 7th-8th graders of All Hallows Academy in La Jolla.

Ryan did a great job at keeping the kids on the dance floor, answering requests and play two and a half hours straight through all the madness. Awesome!

To be prepared, we asked the students in advance their requests.

We were amazed that they requested Disclosure, The Neighbourhood, Adrian Lux, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki & Afrojack!

Zedd, The Bloody Beetroots Feat. S Aoaki & Avicii were, of course, also requested.

We felt we were at the Pacha in Ibiza for a minute!

With the age of iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and Social Media, this "Generation Z" kids know exactly what they want to hear as they are highly connected and it was crucial for us to be extremly prepared!

We also had a limbo contest won by ..the boys!



We love these kids! We had so much fun and felt that were 14 years old again!

A special thanks to Mrs. Mary Alice Fares who is a great teacher and a special thank you also, to our best chaperons: Miss Underkofler & Miss Smiggs, the Macarena Expert! 

It was a Great Party!
