Adam and Tamara were married at the Santa Barbara Zoo, and we were honored to provide DJ (DJ Gavin Roy) and Live Musician (String Quartet, Drummer) Services. Tamara is from Hawaii, and Adam is from New York - their styles came together perfectly for a one-of-a-kind celebration!

Our String Quartet in action at the ceremony.

Tamara dedicated a hula to Adam before their first dance. Later on in the evening, her hula troupe friends entertained the guests.

We were so honored to be part of the QAD Staff Holiday Event with our STRING TRIO for cocktail hour and DJ +SAX + DRUMS for dinner/dancing. Here's some video of the event taken by one of our team members - the camera is a little too close to the drummer so his audio is the loudest, but you get the idea - a rocking' event! Check out the conga line at the end :)

Stephanie and Jason were married on 9/27/14 at Gainey Vineyard and we were so honored to be a part of their big day - with DJ Spencer as their main DJ of choice, and string lighting over the reception space. We also provided a live drummer to play during the dance segment of the night - sooo much fun! Here's a video from one of our team members on site (not the best video, but it shows a bit of the drummer/DJ combo):
