Every elopement has its own magic—but Sophia and Kayla’s celebration at Plant Connections in San Francisco stands out as a beautiful reminder that intimate weddings can be just as high-energy, meaningful, and memorable as the biggest ballroom affair.

Their vision? A celebration of love that felt warm, personal, and vibrant without the stiffness of a traditional ceremony. They wanted their guests to feel welcomed, included, and immersed in the joy that filled the space.

To bring this vision to life, they needed more than equipment. They needed an event partner who understood the heart behind their day. That’s where Fog City Entertainment stepped in with our signature wedding DJ service and wedding photo booth rental experience.

Sophia and Kayla approached their wedding planning with a clear intention:

“We want this elopement to feel like us—a celebration, not a script.”

Plant Connections, surrounded by greenery, natural textures, and cozy nooks—was the perfect backdrop for their intimate gathering. All they needed was an entertainment team who could elevate the energy without overshadowing the space.

During our consultation call, two services immediately stood out as essential for the experience they were trying to create:

  • A wedding DJ service that could create a mood, guide the flow, and keep everything seamless.

  • A glam wedding photo booth rental that would give guests a fun, interactive experience and capture their joy in a stylish way.

From the beginning, it was clear that they weren’t simply looking for vendors, they were searching for collaborators.

Challenges Faced

Like many couples planning a nontraditional wedding, Sophia and Kayla had thoughtful questions about logistics. Their venue at Plant Connections was unique, and they needed reassurance that the entertainment setup would work flawlessly.

Some of their key concerns included:

1. Power Accessibility for the Photo Booth

Plant Connections is a gorgeous venue with an outdoor-greenhouse aesthetic—but power sources aren’t always conveniently located.

Sophia asked whether the wedding photo booth rental could run on a portable power solution.

2. Clarity on Event Timing

They wanted to understand how the 4-hour wedding DJ service and photo booth timeline worked.
Did the 4 hours include setup? Would setup cut into the performance time?

3. Pre-Event Music

Because their elopement was guest-focused, they wanted to set the mood from the moment people arrived.
Sophia asked whether Fog City Entertainment could begin playing a curated playlist before guests entered the space.

These questions weren’t small—they directly affected the vibe they wanted to create. The couple needed clear, professional guidance from a trusted entertainment team.

Portable Power for the Wedding Photo Booth Rental

We confirmed that portable power was absolutely available as an add-on—perfect for venues with limited outlets.
We gave the couple transparent details and recommendations so they could decide whether it was necessary for their layout. Our compact, portable power station was the perfect, eco solution: no exhaust and no noise.

Clarifying the 4-Hour Timeline

We assured them that:

  • The 4 hours of wedding DJ service and wedding photo booth rental are “clean hours.”

  • Setup and teardown do not come out of their all-inclusive service time.

  • DJ Ashley would arrive 2 hours early to ensure a smooth, stress-free start.

This immediately gave them peace of mind.

Pre-Event Playlist for the Perfect Guest Arrival

DJ Ashley also offered to:

  • Have the sound system ready early

  • Play their personalized pre-event playlist

  • Create an immersive atmosphere from the moment the doors opened

This meant guests would walk into curated music—not silence—which instantly elevated the experience.
