Beautiful images of Erin and Nick Van Ark at The Langham Pasadena, CA (DJ Peace was DJ-MC)
DJ-MC Keith was referred by a past wedding client but he was already booked. I had the honor of providing Awesome Entertainment for Erin and Nick's wedding at the Langham Resort and Spa in Pasadena, CA. Nick is originally from South Africa so it was fun hearing everyone singing to Africa by Toto and dancing to Cape Code Kwassa Kwassa by Vampire Weekend. The party kicked into gear when some Australian friends requested: Down Under by Men at Work.
Next Exit Photography sent me a link to their blog and the images were worth sharing...
Nick and Erin share a dance on their elegant wedding day on June 26, 2010.
Erin's dad, Martin, requested a lapel microphone for his toast. It was the first time I 'wired up' the father of the bride in my 25 years as a disc jockey. I must say he looks great without a microphone. If you look real close you can see the lapel
Martin is the General Manager for The Langham Pasadena which is a beautiful location in a quiet South Pasadena neighborhood. The location features The Japanese Garden to The Viennesse Ballroom which is pictured below...

Here is the latest wedding that I handled on July 30, 2010 for Kyle and Christina:
Sgt. Pepper Live featuring Cheap Trick - Peace visits Paris
I visited my niece, Crystal, to discuss her upcoming wedding in Las Vegas with her fiance, Robert this week. While I was there, I caught "Sgt. Pepper Live" featuring Cheap Trick which was AWESOME! Take a peek of what I caught on tape before security stopped me...
Guitarist Rick Nielson rocked it with personality and flair.
Vocalist Robin Zander handled highs and lows flawlessly.
Drummer, Daxx Nielson, was spot on. He is Rick's son (filling in for Bun E. Carlos).
Bassist, Tom Petersson, was Austin Powers on bass (with good teeth).
Great night of Beatles classics and some Cheap Trick favorites, too. I forgot how much I love "Dream Police" and "Surrender".
A mind-blowing testimonial for PEACE
I received this letter and "small token of appreciation" sixteen months after Chia and Gene's wedding day.
It made my day in many ways...
Their phone number is available upon request.
Mike and Lisa's invitation that ROCKS!
I just received my invitation for Mike and Lisa's 10th anniversary 'tour'. The invitation is designed to look like a concert ticket and it was in a very cool black card with a new "Mike and Lisa" logo that simulates the Metallica logo. I entertained at their wedding ten years ago. It was the ONLY wedding where we planned a "Mosh Pit" for the last hour. Mike even body surfed on the dance floor!
Check out this cool invitation created by their friend at: Spiffy Press .

I'm looking forward to seeing their favorite comedian: Maria Bamford. She has appeared on Comedy Central and looks totally awesome.
I was thrilled they chose "The Rococo Room" at Cafe Santorini since the staff and food are outstanding. They also recommended one of my favorite hotels with a grand size ballroom and many smaller offerings: Westin Pasadena. You can see the powerful and attractive catering manager: Shalom from the Westin 'testify' on Awesome Entertainment's behalf at the Awesome Entertainment Blog .
I am honored that they asked me to come back for their 10th anniversary Tour... but I made the mistake of showing my wife this great invitation and now she's wondering why we are not having a party for our tenth anniversary? (04-29-2000 is our date).
