Bahia Resort Hotel’s Annual Engagement Party. 02-22-14


SAY I DO WITH A BAY VIEW!



We had the great honor to be choosen to be one of the prefered vendors during the Bahia Resort Hotel’s Annual Engagement Party event at Bahia Hotel Resort in Mission Bay.

We were located aboard the William D. Evans Sternwheeler

 It was a perfect day to showcase our equipment and services.

Most of the couples present at the event, had already booked one of the different ballrooms for their wedding. They were "shopping" for their vendors: photobooth, cake, photographers, videographers, florist or DJ....

We want to thank all the beautiful couples who stopped by our DJ booth, the Bahia Events Departement: Macarena, Beth, Kadi and all the staff.  

And also all the vendors who fed us with their delicious cakes and cupcakes!

7th-8th Grade Dance- All Allows Academy- La Jolla- 02-21-14

Once again, we were thrilled to return to All Hallows Academy to entertain the 7th & 8th graders for their annual Winter Dance.

It felt so good to be back!

The great advantage of returning events, is, the kids as they know us & our style, there's no weird starting time moment.

As soon as they get to the venue, boys and girls ran to the dancefloor.

For each event, we asked them to send their favorites songs requests.

These kids, the Generation Z, are extremely connected, so for us it's crucial to play exactly what they listen to. They love Electronic Music.

I find fascinating that they are on top of the Trends as such a young age!



Here are some the songs we played!
Animals by Martin Garrix
Everybody Talks
Survival
Pursuit of Happiness (party edition)
Heads will roll by yeah yeah yeah
Video Games Lana Del Rey
National Anthem Lana Del Rey
I Knew you were trouble by Taylor Swift
Latch by Disclosure
Safe and Sound by Capital Cities
Happy by Pharrell Williams
Back in Time by Pitbull
Some Nights by Fun
Get Free by Major Lazer
Shots
Treasure by Bruno Mars
Timber by Ke$ha
Ooh Killem
Sail by Awolnation
Come and get it by Selena Gomez
Slow Down  by Selena Gomez
Dark Horse by Katy Perry
Heads will roll by yeah yeah yeah
Boy oh Boy by Diplo
Latch by Disclosure
Lets make nasty by Afro jack
Monster by Eminem
Teenage Crime
What Now by Rihanna
Something Good Can Work by Two Door Cinema Club
Turn Down for What by DJ Snake
Switch Lanes

We also had a limbo!
And did some dances: Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle and even the Macarena, requested by one of the students!

Again, it was a night of fun at All Hallows Academy, and for sure the memories will last forever!

A special thanks to Mrs. Mary Alice Fares, the kids' teacher and Mrs. Mary Skeen, Vice Principal for organizing and chaperoning the evening!

Get The Party Started: Your Grand Entrance!

 2014 is already looking very good, and we met a lot of new "Glaszy" future Brides & Grooms.

During our meetings, we always create a customized timeline for the wedding, and a lot of our new couples wonder what to play for their Grand Entrance.

It seems that the first dance is always decided far in advance, but the Bridal Party and the Bride & Groom's Grand Entrances aren't so often discussed.

Today we’ll be focusing on the instant that will define your wedding reception. 

The Grand Entrance can ensure that your reception will get off to a great start and set the mood for the rest of the evening.


Pre-Plan


Before filling out that planner for your DJ, you need to decide how you want your reception to look and feel.
It’s always a good idea to stay within your personality and feel completely comfortable with your event. 

Many people choose to use a hype song for the wedding party to be introduced. This really makes a statement and tells your guests that we are here to have a good time tonight!



Here are some examples of songs to make an energetic Grand Entrance:

We Will Rock You – Queen 
Get Ready For This – 2 Unlimited
Beautiful Day – U2
Forever – Chris Brown
It’s My Life – Bon Jovi
More – Usher
Let’s Get It Started – Black Eyed Peas
Viva La Vida – Coldplay
Glad You Came – The Wanted
Give Me Everything – Pitbull feat. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer
Feel So Close – Calvin Harris
Tonight Is The Night – Outasight
Evacuate The Dance Floor, Cascada
On The Floor, Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull
Hey Baby (Drop it to the Floor), Pitbull featuring T-Pain
Crazy In Love, Beyonce
Party Rock Anthem, LMFAO 
Good Feeling, Flo RIda 


What about a low-key entrance?

We’ve done many Grand Entrances that consist of a basic introduction of the Bride and Groom. Either way you choose, your entrance should be a mood setter and should always be an uplifting moment for your guests, as it is typically their first chance to see the newly married couple. 

Sometimes music is involved to add to the mood and other times there’s no background audio, with total focus on the Bride and Groom. It all depends on what mood you want to set.

Make it your day…

Ultimately, how you choose to be introduced to your guests should be up to you.  Whether it’s an arena announcer introducing the wedding party starting line-up or just a casual announcement that the Bride and Groom have arrived, use your Grand Entrance to put a stamp on your reception and make it your day!
