Heather & Jonathan- Darlington House- La Jolla- 03/23-14

You always hear about the these stories about 2 young people who met in College, sat next to each others in the same class and poof....fall in love !

 
This is exactly what happened to Heather & Jonathan a few years ago at San Diego State University
( and yes, they also graduated!!!)

We met for the first time a couple months ago with these 2 love birds.
Beside the connection of Ryan being an Aztec too (and yes he also graduated!), we instantly adored  their great personalities, their simplicity and their love for each others.
And Gypsie, our little Boston Terrier fell in love with Rusty their beautiful doggy!

We were so glad that they choose us to be the DJs for their wedding at the Darlington House.
They choose the perfect location for their intimate and romantic wedding.

The wedding was orchestrated by Petr Trebin from the The Abbey Catering & Event Design.
We also have to mention Mrs. Faith Hussey, the mother of the bride, who worked very hard on the details of the wedding.

The music for the ceremony and cocktail hour was played live by David De Alva, a talented Flamingo Guitar Player. It was amazing! We felt that we were in Andalusia.

We also had the the chance to listen to the beautiful Kelly Levesque, an international singer, cousin of the groom , who sang "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston, a cappella, and gave a magical and emotional touch to this special moment.

I have to admit ( Sevy not Ryan!) that I started to cry during their first dance, and kept telling my self: you can't cry, the father/daughter and the mother/groom dances are coming and you must cue the songs!! ;-)

After the dinner and the cake cutting we finally launched the dancefloor!

The Bride and Groom, their family and friends danced till the end of the night under the stars of La Jolla!

The Ring Bearer

To quote Heather's dad: Heather & Jonathan are beautiful, creative, innovative, kind and intelligent people, we were very proud to be part of this beautiful wedding.

Heather & Jonathan were surrounded by the love of their amazing families and friends!

We wish them a long life of love and happiness and can't wait to meet the new addition to their family: Teodorina- or Uncle Ted's new niece!!!!!

Shannon & Bryan's wedding- Cuvier Club- La Jolla- 03/22/2014

We had the great pleasure to be hired last Saturday for Shannon & Bryan's wedding .

This couple was a perfect match for each other.

Shannon has the incredible and contagious positive energy, and Bryan is the quite and calm Navy Chief.

For their big day, they choose The Abbey Catering Team and The Cuvier Club to orchestrate their reception.

Petr Trebin from the Abbey Catering was their Master Coordinator.

The Ceremony was held at the Congregational Church in La Jolla.

Then , all the bridal party headed to the Cuvier Club for the Reception.

Shannon appeared in a well adjusted immaculate white dress, she was just stunning! A model!
Bryan looked very sharp too, and you could feel their love as he was staring at his beautiful newly wife!

The tone was set when the bride started with a "runners shot".
As Shannon is an avid San Diego runner (as well as most of her bridesmaids), a running picture was taken before the grand entrance.

 

The tone was set for a energetic and beautiful reception.

For the grand entrance we played 3 songs:

- Can't Hold Us- Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis- Bridal party

- Roar ( DallasK Remix) Katy Perry- Flower Girls

- Timber- Pitbull- Bryan & Shannon's sons & their dates followed by the Bride & Groom

- 1st dance: Here- Rascall Flatts 

                                              

After dinner, the dance floor was so packed, that at the 2nd song, the guests started a massive Conga Line.

 

We had such a great time being part of these beautiful people's wedding.

Shannon & Bryan are an amazing couple, it was such a honor to be part of their wedding. We wish them a long life of love and happiness.

50th Golden Jubilee Gala- All Hallows Catholic School- La Jolla- 03-01-14

We were honored to be the entertainment for the 50th Golden Jubilee Gala at All Hallows Catholic School this past Saturday.

The Gala, held at the All Hallows' Parish Hall,  proved to be another amazing fundraising success as well as a good time had by all.

All Hallows Catholic School was funded in 1963 in La Jolla, so this 5oth anniversary was a very special celebration for the school. 

Nothing would have been possible without the talented Mrs.Michelle Stys who orchestrated the Gala. 

She transformed the Parish Hall into a beautiful and elegant room with the help of Mrs. Danielle McKay, chair person for the Gala.

The evening started with a silent auction with a lot of great gifts donated by the parents.

Then the live auction was entertained by Mr. Alson Cole. 

Mr. Cole did a Fantastic job emceeing the auction for an hour and a half and raised a lot of funds for the students.

Mrs Platt, principal at Hallows School, gave a vibrant speech about the purpose of this fundraiser, and how the students would be benefiting from this special event.

We ended the night with some dancing.

We can't express enough our appreciation to Mrs. Stys and All Allows Academy for hiring us.

We had the great pleasure to be invited by Petr Trebin and Zapher Dajani from The Abbey Catering & Event Design team, to be one of their DJ for their Bridal Show "Science of Love".

The Abbey Catering & Event Design is  a 3 years running winner of the A-List Awards for San Diego's Best Caterer & Event Planners & Winner of 2013 The Knot's Best Pick of Wedding Caterers.

We were located in the Lounge area where we decided to set the mood with a mix of slow, loungy songs: Moby, Morcheeba, Ibiza del Mar Cafe or Hotel Costes from Paris.

 

Marvin & Megan fro The Abbey Catering & Event Design

We had a great time to meet all the present vendors and future brides and grooms.

We worked to meet and talk with each bride that came by our table. 

We love to speak with people, get to know when and where they are getting married and how they got engaged. 

Yes, DJing is fun, but what we love about specializing in weddings is that we get to be a part of someone else’s love story.  There is a joy in a newly engaged couple getting ready to embark on the journey of marriage. 

We LOVE getting to share in their special day and want to get to know each couple personally.

It is once the show is over that Ryan and I love to reflect on the day. 
We share stories of brides we met, smile about stories we heard, and look forward to speaking to brides the next day about their wedding. 
We are always pleased to find emails in our inbox, voicemails on our phone and new likes on our Facebook page.

We love, love, love being apart of weddings! 

 

And we would love to be a part of yours.  Please contact us with any questions you may have and let us know how we can help make your special day memorable.
