Our last meeting for 2011 was a lot of fun. Elizabeth Bradshaw from The Loft and Michelle Koenig, Projects Manager for Zanzibar Café, Inc., treated us to a great venue and lunch experience at UC San Diego. Our guests were Brent Clifford, Studio Carre, and Joe Park with Disc Go Round DJ & Video Services. We also welcomed our newest member, Jen from Pink Star Design! And our thanks to Paula for the great centerpieces.
Andy Hagenah was our showcaser. He talked about Disc Go Round DJ & Video Services and Starlight Photo Booth (yep, we got to take fun pictures in it too). Andy, Tim and sometimes a third guy handle the DJ end of the business. We all know Andy is professional, classy and does a great job for his clients! Joe Park, one of the videographers, does a lot of video for DGR and showed us a sample video of his work ~ professional, sharp and a great overview of the event. Andy offers a lot of value and entertainment with the photo booth, including video, props and pictures ~~ prices vary so check with on availability and options.
The Loft is a great location for all kinds of events, including weddings. They can seat 120-150 for weddings and 223 standing room. The space rents for $1500 and offers an impressive variety of packages. They have a wine and beer license, lots of tables/chairs custom menus and an over-the-top sound system. In addition to the delicious lunch, we all were given welcome bags (including cool T-shirts)! They really did a great job hosting us ~~ special thanks to Krista and Karen for setting this one up. It’s a “hidden jewel” and they would love our support.
After raffle prizes were drawn, we all headed off campus to enjoy the rest of our afternoon.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our Ugly Sweater Bowling Party with Secret Santa gift exchange next month. Our new Board will be announced then too!
Happy Holidays All!!
