Jaclyn and Nick were married at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum and we were honored to be a part of their big day with DJ services. We were very impressed with the entire team of professionals - led by Vanessa of vanessanoelevents.com when all of us were tested with unusual weather (a severe microburst storm came 45 minutes before ceremony start). Here is a short video of what the storm looked like (that's Gavin running to save three sound setups from water damage).

Luckily, being professionals, we travel with backup equipment and we were able to reset and dry everything in record time :) These photos by Anna Delores www.annadelores.com prove that nothing could stop this amazing partyl!

From Santa Barbara's Historic Courthouse to the SB Historical Museum, Cara and Adam took their guests on a tour of Santa Barbara's best attractions for their wedding ceremony and reception. We were honored to provide sound for their ceremony with our guitarist George, and reception entertainment by our DJ @Korn. Here are some beautiful pictured by the talented Shelly Vinson.

Our DJ Gavin took over for the rest of the evening on the upper terrace, where dinner and dancing was set to take place. Dinner was presented Family Style, with a serving of an amazing Paella, as the main course. Reza and Alison danced their First Dance to Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat's "Lucky", which was followed by a Family Dance to Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". The dance party that followed incorporated a mix of old and new, fast and slow, with the familiar and the deep cuts thrown in for good measure. A fantastic day for all. Thank you Reza and Alison! Congratulations!!!

Adrienne and Spencer were married in beautiful Santa Barbara at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum on July 7, 2012. Their ceremony was held on the lower courtyard of the museum, where we had a ceremony PA system all set with a microphone for their officiant Rich Tobin. We shared the musical limelight with Spencer's favorite band who came all the way from the SF Bay area, the amazing Windy Hill Bluegrass Band. They played an authentic jam of bluegrass sounds for the prelude to the ceremony, the processionals and recessional.

After a sweet and heartfelt ceremony, guests proceeded to the middle courtyard, where Windy Hill continued playing an upbeat set of live bluegrass. Our planner for the day was Kelly Clark of Event of the Season. Kelly and her team made sure everything was perfect, up to the smallest detail. The meal for the evening was catered by Sarah Dandona and Heather Story of Omni Fresco Catering, who also provided the full bar and hors d'oeuvres. Dinner for the evening was buffet style, with an amazing tri-tip and chicken spread.

Spencer and Adrienne made their grand entrance right into their first dance, Johnny Cash's "Walk The Line". After a rousing round of toasts from family and friends, our Bride danced with her father to Andy Williams' "Moon River". Then it was Spencer's turn to dance with his mother to a special medley of songs put together by Spencer's mother as a surprise. The parents of both the bride and groom surprised our newlyweds with an in-laws dance to Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat's "Lucky". And once the dance floor opened to the guests, there was no stopping the dance action. Even our bride got the crowd cheering as she did the 'worm' on the dance floor in her mermaid style wedding dress.

Congratulations Spencer and Adrienne! It was an honor to be part of such an fabulous evening (and to work with a stellar crew of wedding professionals!). Best wishes to you both!!!
