Megan & Alex Tie The Knot

Just when you think you've seen it all, the unexpected happens.

Unexpected as in having Guns N' Roses rock anthem, "Sweet Child O' Mine" for a wedding ceremony exit. Or a surprise Elvis impersonator performance in the middle of a reception dinner. Or the Groom and his closest buddies taking the stage for an impromptu group karaoke performance of "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by Bon Jovi.

What all these things have in common is that they all happened at the SAME wedding. When Megan and Alex began planning their June 2010 wedding in San Pedro, they had no way of knowing it would turn out to be one of the most memorable days for themselves AND their guests.

Certainly those in attendance (myself included) have never seen a wedding quite like it.



The Bride and Groom made their triumphant entrance to the hard rocking "Ring Of Fire" by Social Distortion, followed immediately by their first dance, "Love Me Tender" by Elvis.


Here's the wedding cake without pin spot lighting... and WITH our pin spot. We like #2 better.





Special thanks go out to James Kruk (www.kingkruk.com) for performing a spot on Elvis tribute.


The venue before and after we added purple LED uplighting:






Boogie Shoes!



Git Down Wit Yo Bad Self



"Ooh we're halfway there... livin on a prayer!"


Party favorites included "OMG" by Usher, "Rock And Roll All Night" by KISS and the last song of the evening, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.

Here's to another great beginning!

MOLAA For Erin and Khaled

Erin and Khaled chose Long Beach's Museum Of Latin American Art (MOLAA) for their May nuptials. Their wedding sets a great example of the power of creative sound and lighting.



It turns out that The expansive MOLAA courtyard, filled with unique sculptures and plants, is a great place for a ceremony!

Can you spot the speakers?



We found the perfect spot where they would both sound good and be unobtrusive.



Before... and after!

For this beautiful square wedding cake, we lit it from 2 angles to make it stand out.



On the candy table we used a small flood light . It must have worked because the candy disappeared quickly!



For the reception room we lit the walls with amber LED uplighting to create a unique atmosphere.



During dancing the guests enjoyed our digital Yamaha sound system and hot music mixes.



Here's to another great beginning!

A Royal Wedding With "The Queen"

For Lenora and Michael's May reception, they chose the Queen Mary's elegant Veranda room. The Veranda features polished wood throughout, lavish tapestries and a wonderful view of the Long Beach shoreline.




The Newlyweds made their Grand entrance to AC/DC's "You Shook Me" and then segued right into "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison. The sunken dance floor was highlighted by our mirror ball as the couple wowed their guests with choreographed dance steps.




After the toasts and dinner service, the dancing kicked off again with the traditional Father/Daughter dance to "I Hope You Dance"- Lee Ann Womack. Then all guests were invited to join in.




Music highlights included Sinatra, Rascal Flatts and an old school electric slide (by request).




We used a 2 speaker Yamaha digital sound system and a 16 inch mirror ball highlighted by 2 LED pin spots.

Here's to another great beginning!
