Services: Wedding DJ, Ceremony Sound, Uplighting

Venue walk-through. 11 days before the wedding.

Day of the actual wedding.

This Russian New Year's Eve Party was held at Ghazal Banquet Hall and hosted byLa Muse Party Planners. I used Projector & Screen and TV on stand for video countdown, music videos, computer visualizations and text messages. The venue's projector's video connection was far away from the stage, so I ran a 100 ft VGA cable along the wall. I also had to use 2-way VGA splitter to send video signal to TV and projector at the same time. All this work was worth the effort as many guests really enjoyed the funny clips I played throughout the night. For this room I had enhanced sound set up with additional speakers in the corners, so all the guests could hear the music and there would be no 'dead spots'. The cyan colored uplighting made this room more beautiful and elegant. The night's entertainment also included burlesque show, hula hoop dancers and live singers.

Here is a short video from this party:

Alex & Elena hired me to provide music for their 25th anniversary party which was held at Elijahs La Jolla restaurant (before remodeling). I also provided TV on a stand to show their wedding video which was made in 1985 with a film camcorder. They also made a custom slideshow which included photos of every guest who was present at the party. After this presentation I used TV for the rest of the evening to play computer visualizations.

Janna hired me for her 70th birthday party which was held at Elijahs Del Mar. She decided to add some live music to the mix. I play a keyboard at almost every party to add some live element. So I offered this and my singing with another great singer Natasha Grach. We singed together some Russian, Jewish and international dance hits. Janna also needed a TV for a slideshow presentation. I provided 42" TV on a stand not only for a slideshow but to play computer visualizations and birthday themes clips for the rest of the night.

Oleg's wife Karen hired me for Surprise Birthday Party which was held at Michael's Lounge in Hyatt Regency hotel in La Jolla. I played some lounge and Nuevo Tango music for cocktail hour and for the dance portion it was a mix of older rap, older Russian rock, Reggaeton, Alternative, Dance and Top40. I used venue's TV to playback a custom made slideshow directly from my computer. Before and after the slideshow I used TV for music videos, computer visualizations and birthday themed clips which really added more entertainment for the guests.
