We were honored to be invited back to DJ the Alpha Gamma Pi Sorority's Annual Valentine's Dance for the second year in a row. It was held at the Fess Parker DoubleTree Resort, in the Santa Barbara ballroom. We had he pleasure of working with Bailey from the chapter, who met with us and discussed all the production details and music. Our amazingly talented DJ Hecktik rocked the party - here's a video of him warming up as the students made their way in:

Proms are always a fun time. But it would be hard to come across a prom as amazing as Cate School 2012!

From start to finish Cate School did it up in a big way. GRP was hired to come in, not only to provide a DJ and Karaoke System, but also to add the impressive "Starry Sky" LED backdrop and white silk entry way draping. That, combined with the wonderful decor provided by the volunteers and teachers of Cate School created a perfect setting for a record breaking party. 

After a luxurious boat cruise aboard the Channel Cate, the 60 Cate School Seniors rolled into the Santa Barbara Hyatt for hours filled with dancing, dining, photos, and performance. Things got off to a quick start with DJ Epik warming on the floor and our MC Rooster getting everybody worked up for the night to come and handing out glow toys to add some color. 

After a short dance set, dinner was served and everyone quickly took their seats. Mark the Magician made his rounds entertaining everyone and the karaoke got started with a performance of 'Wanna Be' by the Spice Girls! The kids were eager to get back to dancing though, and it didn't take much to get everyone out of their seats and packing the dance floor. With the Photo Booth and Portrait Photographer in full swing, the Hyatt staff opened up the dessert buffet but even with all these great activities the kids still kept the dance floor packed while DJ Hecktik laid down his usual stellar set. 

The hours flew by and before anyone knew it it was time to call last song; even that didn't stop these kids from dancing! Rooster had to tell them three times to get off the dance floor and get ready to head on to their next part of the evening, Golf n' Stuff! At 10:45 the music was shut down and people reluctantly shuffled out the door. 

Proms are always fun, but not every prom is as awesome as Cate School 2012! Thank you Cate School for having us, we had a great time and hope you did too!

Our love of being at Westmont College events is no secret. And the Westmont prom was no exception. Bringing in the heavy hitters on our team, with enough equipment to rock the rotunda at Fess Parker's Double Tree Resort, GRP put on a full scale performance to ensure that Prom 2012 would be one for the record books. 

700 Westmont students packed into the iconic resort by the sea for a night of dancing, cheering, and craziness. With Spencer Fischer on the mic and DJs Hecktik and Epik on the 1s and 2s, you could feel the ground bouncing up and down with all those dancing college kids!

After learning from our Westmont Winter Formal experience that one photo booth isn't enough for this kids, we brought TWO booths to the Westmont Prom and both were packed the entire night. Of course, hilarity ensued!

Thank you Westmont College for another amazing event!

We've seen a lot of beautiful weddings but Melissa and Kevin's really sets a high bar for this years wedding season. With a love that knows no bounds and an amazing talent for creating weddings, Melissa and Kevin brought their love over from Hawaii to Gainey Vineyard, in Santa Ynez to tie the knot in true style. 

Of course, Melissa planned her own big day! So if you like what you see in the photos taken by the wonderful Chanson's over at Radient Photography then you know who to call. 

Our DJ Josh 'Hecktik' Stanford had the honor of providing the music and sound equipment for the evenings happenings, with great speechs and music making this a day that no one will soon forget. 

If that wasn't enough, Melissa and Kevin had a absolutely stunning video created for them by Hoo Films, be sure to check it out below as well. 

A couple of times through out the year we get the privilege of being part of Westmont College's fantastic events. 

Whether it's being packed into the Montecito Country Club with the floor bouncing for the Winter Formal, mixing it up for the Sadie Hawkin's dance, or getting our swing on at the President's Ball dance off we are always thrilled to be part of it!

The Santa Barbara Film Festival is such a good reason to party! 

This year GRP was requested to have DJs at three of SBIFFs high profile events, with people coming from all over to see this years attractions.

Gavin Roy himself spun at the Opening Night Gala on Thursday, Jan. 26th to welcome everyone to the festival. With the red carpet rolled out for this years celebs, Gavin felt right at home!

DJ Patrick Torio kept everybody bouncing at the Salute to Christopher Plummer on Saturday, Jan. 28th and DJ Hecktik made sure everyone got their dance at Sunday, February 5th's closing ceremonies.

As always, our DJs had a fantastic time and we very excited to be present at their events. 

Thank you SBIFF!
