The written word from a
San Diego DJ
Some songs are just meant to be sung with a group of friends. And when those songs come on, you sing them very loud. I loved creating this moment, espeically loved seeing the bride with her group of girlfriends singing with a smile.
Friends and family sing along to the Backstreet Boys, “I Want it That Way.”
A perfect Southern California late afternoon for a perfect Coronado wedding, right on the beach.
Angela and Kris celebrated their wedding day at the always majestic Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, California. They took full advantage of having a Southern California wedding with a ceremony right on the sands of Coronado Beach.
The evening continued with an oceanside cocktail hour and experience (literally … a dining room was created on the beach by event decorators Platinum Pro) and finally moving inside the hotel for a dance party to conclude the night.
Angela and Kris were great to work with. Congratulations!
The party got off to a fast start since each couple in their wedding party walked/danced out to their own song … the last of which was Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It.” And really, if you cannot get hyped up to that, then you don’t really need to be near a dance floor.
I provided DJ service, dance floor lighting and the slow motion video booth. The dance party included two bars, drinks and candy, to keep the guests filled with spirits and sugar.
After spending a considerable amount of time on the beach, the dance party inside was just two hours long. So it was a lot of quick hits so I could get in as much as I could.

San Diego DJ, Justin Kanoya, performs at the 2015 Hotel Del Coronado Flag Day Concert. He was the opening act for the Gary Sinise's, Lt. Dan Band.
On Flag Day 2015, the Hotel Del Coronado was the location for a fun concert on the beach. The featured act, The Lt. Dan Band, led by actor Gary Sinise.
Leading up to the show, the Del had me warm up the stage and crowd with a DJ set. It was an honor to open up for the band and was such a great experience for me to be on the big stage and DJing in one of the most popular beach location in the world.
