The Park Plaza Hotel in Downtown LA is rich with history. It was once an Elks Lodge and a hotel. Also, its pool was used in one of the Los Angeles Olympics, its Grand Ballroom was used to film part of Maroon 5’s “Sugar” video, and most recently, it was the site of an amazing […]

In Los Angeles, there is a little haven for Victorian Style structures called Heritage Square Museum. During the day, costumed tour guides will tell you all about the historical buildings and houses that line the small village. At night, they allow private events to come in and take over the property. Lacey and Adrian pictured […]

A few months after meeting this incredible couple, I received an unexpected phone call from Erin and John. They remembered me mentioning that I was an Ordained Minister in our initial meeting, and they asked me if I would meet with them again to discuss possibly officiating their wedding in addition to MCing and Djing. […]

My good friend and wedding planner Lizzy Thomas called me awhile back and asked about my availability for a charming and down to earth couple she was working with. She thought I would be a great fit for Ceri and Elliott’s wedding. Anytime Lizzy calls me, I jump at the opportunity to work with her […]

Kristie and Sean were married exactly one year prior to their big family wedding, which they celebrated at Rancho Camulos Museum. On the lawn in front of the old School House, they said their “I Do’s” again in front of over 125 of their friends and family members. Being wine lovers, Kristie and Sean decided […]

In West Covina, there is a little historical museum called Hurst Ranch. Typically, they host wedding receptions inside their main building. However, on this beautiful September evening, Heather and Michael chose to have their wedding under the stars and between the trees in the courtyard nestled amongst the barn and buildings. I met Heather and […]

If there is one place in Southern California that has its own unique charm, Santa Barbara would be it. I have always enjoyed visiting this little beach town, and when Tera and Jason described their perfect day that was going to take place at El Paseo Restaurant, I was instantly excited to be a part […]

I met Joy and Steven only a few months ago down at their venue, the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa. We walked the ballroom, explored the ceremony site, and sat down at the bar to talk about their wedding. What Joy and Steven wanted was to make their wedding (or at least the […]

I met Megan and Kris the first time via Facetime. It was an unusual first meeting but necessary since they both now live in Arizona. We “virtually” hit it off, and they asked me to DJ their wedding aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach. Their small wedding reception would take place in The Tea […]

Ira and I have been friends for over 25 years. (I joke that I knew him when he was Neal!) When he proposed to his girlfriend Jill of just a year and a half, I was honored when he called me and asked me to DJ his wedding. Not just any wedding though…he and Jill […]

I met with Eileen only a couple of months before her wedding. She read my reviews on The Knot and knew she really wanted me to DJ her wedding. When we met, she explained a few things about her friends and family. Most of them were very conservative Christian, so the music and content would […]

Dahlie and Bryan met at USC eight years ago playing basketball. Their love for their school grew as did their love for each other. When I first met these two, it was actually at a USC Tail Gate Party, where we found a picnic table and sat down to discuss their vision for their wedding, […]
