Sarah & Jordan’s Flood Mansion Wedding: A Personal Approach to Music and Lighting
For Sarah and Jordan, planning a fall 2026 wedding at Flood Mansion in San Francisco began with a venue tour and a clear idea of how they wanted the spaces to feel. Music and lighting would help bring that vision together, from the ceremony to the reception.
After touring the venue, the couple contacted several vendors on their list for cost estimates, including Fog City Entertainment. Their initial request was specific: a few uplights along the main hall and additional uplighting in the reception room where dancing would take place.
That inquiry became a conversation about the full wedding experience, leading to a Platinum Package booking with DJ Dean and MC Lilliana from Fog City Entertainment’s Pro DJ Collective.
Starting With Their Vision for Flood Mansion
Sarah and Jordan’s lighting request gave the Fog City team a useful starting point. They had identified two areas they wanted to highlight: the main hall and the reception room.
Wedding uplighting can help connect the atmosphere across different spaces while giving each area its own character. For their Flood Mansion wedding, the planning conversation needed to account for both the setting and the transition into dancing.
The next step was a call with DJ Ashley Good to discuss their vision in more detail and develop an estimate based on their needs. That consultation brought the entertainment requirements into focus, including music, microphones, sound coverage, and lighting.
Finding the Right DJ and MC Team
DJ Ashley was already personally booked on their wedding date. Through Fog City Entertainment’s Pro DJ Collective, Sarah and Jordan were paired with DJ Dean and MC Lilliana.
Choosing a wedding DJ and MC is a personal decision. Music preferences matter, and so does the way the team communicates with the couple and their guests.
Before making their booking official, Sarah and Jordan had a call with DJ Dean. It gave them an opportunity to discuss whether the DJ and MC style would work for their celebration and to get to know the person who would help shape its soundtrack.
Following that conversation, they secured their booking with DJ Dean and MC Lilliana.
A Platinum Package for Ceremony and Reception
Sarah and Jordan selected Fog City Entertainment’s Platinum Wedding DJ Package, bringing their ceremony and reception entertainment needs together in one booking.
Their package included:
Six hours of DJ/MC service for the ceremony and reception.
Ceremony and reception sound, with wireless lapel and handheld microphones.
Sound for the cocktail hour area, supporting music beyond the main reception space.
Professional dance floor lighting for the dancing portion of the celebration.
Reception area uplighting with 20 fixtures, expanding on their initial interest in lighting.
Access to the Music Planning Dashboard, providing a central place to share music preferences and planning details.
The package also offered additional DJ/MC time at $150 per half hour after the included six hours, should their plans require it.
Bringing Music, Sound, and Lighting Into One Plan
What began as a request for uplighting developed into a coordinated entertainment booking for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
Each part served a different purpose. Microphones supported spoken moments. Cocktail hour sound addressed a separate area. Reception uplighting and dance floor lighting gave the couple distinct tools for shaping the evening’s atmosphere.
The Music Planning Dashboard provided a way to continue developing the musical details after booking, helping translate their preferences into a plan for DJ Dean and MC Lilliana.
A Thoughtful Start to a San Francisco Wedding
Sarah and Jordan’s planning experience shows the value of making space for conversations before securing a wedding entertainment team. A consultation with DJ Ashley clarified their needs, and a call with DJ Dean helped them assess the personal fit.
Their Platinum Package booking brought those decisions together: a dedicated DJ and MC team, sound for multiple parts of the celebration, and lighting to support their vision for Flood Mansion.
