It was the perfect day at the perfect location for an Exclusive Bridal Show at Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes, Ca. The event was held on Sunday January 23rd and all of the brides that got engaged over the holidays set out to build the wedding of their dreams in California. Winds gently blew over the seaside cliffs as the premier wedding vendors of the southland began constructing the showroom that would highlight the day.

Senior Lighting Designer, Jason Moser arrived early to set the stage for an inspiring lighting display that had energetic young brides swarming for a look. “We put together both white and color custom monograms as well as LED Up-Lights for the show which really gave brides a lot of options that easily fit their budget.,” remarked Jason. Minister, Wedding Officiant & Ceremony Coordinator Loreen Saldana was on-hand to help couples plan their vows and make sense of the complexities involved in a ceremony. It really gave brides focus and relieved a lot of stress that comes with planning a wedding. Keith Morgan, a long-time insider in the Hollywood entertainment industry, was instrumental in planning and designing customized entertainment packages for clients that wanted something above the status quo! Booking Musicians for the the wedding and a DJ for the receptions was no problem!

Pamela Marches captured the moments on film in a way that can only be described as brilliant! Pamela’s calendar is sure to book quickly in 2011 & 2012 after the exposure and warm welcome that she received at Trump National. See samples of her work in our video slideshow. (above)

Winter Wedding in California

This Weekend we were at the Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach, California for a Romantic Winter Wedding!

In California, anytime of year can be the perfect time for a wedding. It’s not uncommon to have it be 32 degrees and raining on Friday only to have it turn out to be 75 degrees and sunny on Saturday!

Well, that’s just about what happened here. Just a week or 2 ago, we were in the middle of the biggest down-pour of rain that California has seen in decades. People on the east coast and mid-west are shoveling their driveways while dealing with a blizzard. Yet, in the middle of January 2011, we quickly bounced back to our golden coast weather with blue skies and tropical backgrounds.

Lisa Craig and David Quizon chose the Old Ranch Country Club for their wedding ceremony and reception. Loreen Saldana was the Wedding Officiant. She always knows just how to word things to make them flow eloquently from beginning to end. After a warm wedding with the rolling hills of the country club as the back-drop, the bride and groom were able to sneak away for a few quick pictures. The family and guests enjoyed gourmet treats from the renowned chef’s at Old Ranch in the reception hall. As the reception began, DJ Tim Coy worked closely with the staff and Amy, the event coordinator, to insure a smooth and seamless event.

The Wedding Cake was Lovely!

Love Is In The Air

“Ok, Raise Your Hand If You Need a DJ!?!”

It’s that time of year! After thousands of marriage proposals on Christmas and New Year’s Eve, brides and grooms are out in force booking their weddings and receptions for 2011. We’re meeting with new clients and we’re booking event after event right now. It’s fantastic!

There really is a shortage of quality entertainment providers in the wedding industry. So many vendors don’t have the experience and critical knowledge that is required to make a wedding successful. Because of that, the search is on for those few wedding vendors that really do have what it takes. And, with the home purchase prices and interest rates at an all-time low, couples can really afford to have an elegant wedding and move right into their dream house.

We’re really proud to be a small part of this fairytale!

We’ll be meeting with hundreds of new brides at the Trump Bridal Show on January 23, 2011.

DJ Novazzi Spins NYE at OC Fair Block Party!

DJ Novazzi (aka Jonah Lavitt) let loose at the OC Fair Block Party for New Year’s Eve 2010! DJ Novazzi and DJ Tim Coy have been working together for about 2 years and have achieved smashing success!

This was the 1st year that the Orange County Fair and Event Center actually hosted the New Year’s Eve Party. They had everything that you could want from a New Year’s Eve Party. DJ Novazzi premiered at the Baja Blues Lounge while other DJs cranked it at The Hangar and the Millenium Barn. Tribute bands sang familiar songs from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s and, believe it or not, they even had a New Year’s Eve Demolition Derby! Completely Insane!

The Demolition Derby went on right behind DJ Novazzi as he cranked out the latest in hip-hop and techno trance for the rabid fans. It was an alcohol-fueled night that left contestants and party-goers stunned with all of the action.

Many guests commented that they couldn’t believe how much entertainment the OC Fair and Events Center had provided for the customers on New Year’s Eve 2010. Dan Gaines, the Entertainment Director for the OC Fair and Events Center, worked for months preparing and booking the finest DJs, Bands and Entertainment to insure that this would be the best New Year’s Eve Party in Southern California.

Doug Lofstrom, VP of Events for the OC Fair, helped put together a Preview of the New Year’s Eve Block Party complete with some of the hottest Gourmet Food Trucks seen on the Food Network’s The Great Food Truck Race. ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/the-great-food-truck-race/index.html )

Amazing food trucks like The Burnt Truck and Chomp Chomp were there serving up delectable treats. DJ Tim Coy worked the 1′s  & 2′s for the fans as they stuffed their bellies with the good eats from these infamous trucks. DJ Tim Coy has worked with the OC Fair and Events Center for over 7 years now providing DJs, MCs, Show Hosts, and a number of other entertainment services.

“Everyone at the OC Fair is like family. From the CEO, Steve Beasley, to Ruby, or Sabrina Sakaguchi; you feel like you’ve known them forever as soon as you meet them,” says DJ Tim Coy, owner of Pacific-Events.com . Find out More About the OC Fair at http://ocfair.com/ocf/.

Holiday Events Rock In 2010!

In December 2010, Ocean Media ( http://www.oceanmediainc.com/ ) chose The Balboa Bay Club ( http://www.balboabayclub.com/ ) as their destination for a Holiday Bash! Ocean Media asked DJ Tim Coy to provide the entertainment for the evening. This was the second year in a row that DJ Tim Coy has worked with Ocean Media. With million dollar yachts floating effortlessly across the bay and a brisk California Winter breeze softly blowing in the background, it was a picture-perfect night. Christmas was in the air and it was time to celebrate!

Only the most well-to-do have memberships at The Balboa Bay Club in lower Newport Beach. ”I met the author of Kraemer vs Kraemer tonight! He walked up with his date during the party and asked when the dancing would start. The funny thing was that he wasn’t a guest at the party. He was a member at the club. He actually ‘crashed the party’ later and got in a few dance moves before cutting out! What a cool guy!”, Tim remembers.

Some of us are lucky enough to be there frequently and enjoy the Newport Bay area. The Club has gourmet food that is like no other. Enrique is one of our favorite Captains there. He and his staff are always at your beck and call with a friendly smile. The cuisine is scrumptious from the unique salad blends to the always enchanting entrees! It doesn’t matter what your tastes are, everything is made to satisfy even the most critical.

Mike Robertson, Chairman & CEO of Ocean Media, knows what it takes to run a thriving media buying agency. He also knows how to keep his employees happy by putting on a party to remember. One key to success is to keep the speeches short and sweet. Mike let the party speak for itself. Let’s face it, people hear enough about work at work, right? When you’re at the party it’s time to have fun! Mr. Robertson graciously thanked those that helped the company reach the acclaim that it had and paid respect to everyone for their hard work. After that, they were treated to the world-class food that The Balboa Bay Club is known for.

As the sun went down, the party started with the latest in Top 40 and a mix of Old School and 80′s that had the dance floor pumping all night! Floods of music requests came in from the guests and club members but that’s one thing that DJ Tim Coy likes. “It really helps me get a feel for what the mood of the night is. You can have the same group of people 2 nights in a row and their musical tastes can be completely different from night to night. Some DJs don’t like taking requests but I love the input!” says Tim Coy after smashing a dance set late in the evening.

As the night winded down, guests merrily stumbled to their rooms and we took a few moments to appreciate those million dollar yachts one last time; The Don Juan, The Shogun, The Bad Habit. Many of them are owned by casino executives from Vegas, Orange County socialites and tech industry moguls. Some are just trophies that never sea the open ocean but all of them are beautiful! DJing in Southern California…It’s a Wonderful Life!

Pacific-Events.com Adds Photography Services!

After a number of requests came in for a quality photographer, Tim Coy and Pacific-Events.com has add the Award Winning Photographer, Pamela Marches. Pamela has a World-Class Team of photographers that will capture those special moments forever. See her art at http://pamelamarches.com/ .
