“Using Jason’s services for my wedding planning is by far the best decision that I have made during the process. Throughout the planning I have never felt stressed or anxious about my upcoming event. Jason’s creative ideas and his ability to take initiative have allowed me to ENJOY my engagement. The entire Bay Area Entertainment personnel are extraordinary in the time and effort they have put in to create the wedding of my dreams. I highly recommend Bay Area Entertainment for any of your future event planning needs.”

"My husband and I were married at Hiddenbrooke six years ago. It was a beautiful ceremony and ran without a hitch. Even though the country club had a "wedding coordinator," there was really no need for her since Jason had everything planned out perfectly. Because of his planning and professionalism, our wedding procession and reception ran smoothly. We had so many compliments on the music and flow of the night. I have recommended Jason to other friends and have attended two other weddings with him, both of which ran as flawlessly as mine. Thank you Jason for making our wedding unforgettable!"
Allison Brickeen Fannin, Hiddenbrooke Country Club, Vallejo California

"My husband and I were married in July and Jason was our wedding planner. We live all the way across the country and I truly could not have done it without him! The day turned out to be absolutely perfect, the decor was beautiful, and everything ran smoothly! Jason and Gladys' help during the planning process, their connections within the industry, and their professionalism on the day itself was priceless. I really was able to depend on them and enjoy the most wonderful day of my life... and it was!"
Jennifer Messih Ockers, Palm Event Center, Pleasanton California

Michell Ainsworth DeStefans

“Dear Jason, Without any reservations, we would highly, highly recommend Jason for any special event. In our wedding decision-making process, we met or traded emails with three DJs in order to make our best decision. We felt a DJ was a very important element to our wedding and we chose Jason because of his past work, his wonderful personality, his attention to detail and the servies he offers to the wedding couple. He GETS it - really GETS it. He makes the wedding couple feel special with every service he provides - plus brings laughter, professionalism and creativity to the table that makes you feel comfortable from the very first meeting. Jason is fun-loving, yet very professional. He offered to do the day-of-event wedding coordination for us and we quickly took him up on his offer. Jason is quick to plan and then direct the activities of the day to make sure everyone knows their part and the wedding day goes off without a hitch. And it did! The day flew by but Jason was there directing at the wedding venue and was responsible for the tiny details that let the bride and groom enjoy their day. However, the best part of hiring Jason is ... Jason himself. We can't say enough about him to articulate how much he added to our wedding and how much we appreciate him being there to coordinate and entertain on our special day. It was obvious Jason put in many hours to plan the wedding day schedule, book the extra band, lay out the music, author our introduction to the reception and plan the "newlywed game", which was a huge hit! After the wedding, we had many of our guests tell us how much they enjoyed our wedding - the music was great and the newlywed game was something they had never seen before. That's Jason. We were so pleased with Jason and cannot say enough to fully express our happiness in finding him for our special day. Our wedding day flew by and Jason was the epitome of professionalism. We never had to do anything to direct him - only answer his questions about details he would take care of on the wedding day. He worked many hours before the wedding too - it's obvious he loves his job and is good at it. He arrived at the wedding venue early and stayed until the last guest left - which was many hours of work. Overall, Jason was a huge key to our wedding "success". His services weren't the cheapest, but what we got was priceless. There are far more expensive DJs that offer much less service - and we still feel like we got the "Cadillac". The amount of time he spends with you and the quality of his work is worth every single penny - but you also get Jason with the package and he is the biggest bonus of all. We were blessed to have found him and we are very, very happy to recommend him very, very highly. Thank you so much, Jason! We wish you continued success! Harry & Laura Brown October, 2006”

The Perfect Place for a Wedding

I have been in the event industry for 17 years. When my, then fiancé and I, were looking for a venue for our wedding reception 2 years ago, we really wanted a beautiful venue that we could bring in our own caterer. We wanted a fun reception, but didn’t want to spend a fortune on the party.

The ability to bring in your own catering can save you SO much money and offer you the opportunity to customize your menu beyond what you would find with most “Wedding Venues.”

We drove all over Northern California visiting venues that would allow us to bring in our own food and beverage. We were disappointed in what we found. We were unable to find even 1 site that met our combined standards. They were run down, bad locations, too costly, or just plain not attractive AT ALL!

I have since found 2 very unique and beautiful venues that fit what I was looking for 2 years ago, a little late for me! but still managed to find them.

The Kenyon Estate is a private estate in the hills above American Canyon 500 feet south of the Napa County Line. It has sweeping views from Mt. Diablo to Mt. Tamalpais. You can see natural hills, water and the sunsets are spectacular! The Kenyon Estate offers indoor seating for up to 172 guests and outdoor seating for up to 400 guests. You CAN bring in your own food, beer and wine! You need to see it before you make any decisions, the pictures don’t do it justice! www.KenyonEstate.com

Kenyon Estate

Long Branch Saloon and Farms, located just south of Half Moon Bay is another unique venue that allows you to bring in your own caterer, beer and wine! Long Branch is like stepping back in time to the “Old West.” With Long Branch you take over the whole town which includes an old saloon, parlor and main street. www.LongBranchFarms.net
