Darielle & Alan

August 24, 2015

Darielle Meyerowitz and Alan Deicas were married on Sunday July 19, 2015 at Coasterra on Harbor Island, the beautiful, new addition to the Cohen Restaurant Group. Darielle is South African and she loves Lionel Ritchie. BFP's 16 piece band did renditions of some of his greatest hits like All Night Long with a fabulous horn section. Alan's family is from Mexico. During the traditional hora dance the groomsmen threw Alan five feet high up in the air with a sheet. Both bride and groom are both the last children in their families to get married so BFP did the traditional Mazinka dance honoring both sets of parents. Not even the unusual San Diego weather, thunderstorms and rain pouring down from the sky, could affect the tremendous amount of energy and fun that was generated by the guests' dancing and their exuberant response to the live music.

Christopher & Angeline's Wedding

June 20, 2015

Christopher & Angeline exchanged vows at the Church of Nativity in a traditional Catholic service on June 20, 2015 in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. The happy couple and their 160 guests continued the festivities at the iconic Hotel Del Coronado on Coronado Island. With panoramic ocean views drenched in colors of blush, champagne, ivory and gold, the wedding reception in the Grand Ballroom was the perfect setting for a sunset celebration. Our 14-piece wedding band and DJ Hybrid serenaded Christopher & Angeline as they charmed everyone with a beautifully choreographed 1st dance to “All of Me” by John Legend. Family and friends quickly joined them on the dance floor, and guests got to "Shut Up and Dance," feel the "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky" before the first course. For dinner, we slowed it down to a few Sinatra favorites bringing the vibe back up between courses to a fast moving Motown Medley. The band kept surprising this hip crowd with top 40 hits while mixing in Grammy Award-Winning favorites of all genres and eras. The evening ended with the most current club mixes by our very own BFP DJ Dr. J.

The SLS in Beverly Hills

April 23, 2015

Go backstage with Bonnie Foster as she takes you for a behind-the-scenes look at a Bonnie Foster Productions exclusive private party, live music experience at the 5-Star SLS Hotel in Beverly, Hills, CA. The evening kicked off with beautiful dinner music with violin, piano and flute and featured talented vocalists performing everything from Italian Opera to current hits from Sam Smith, John Legend and many other great artists. The night really started to heat up with Hot Latin Salsa Dancers igniting the dance floor to the Enrique Iglesias smash hit “Bailando” and the upbeat latin song “Salome.” Guests of all ages packed the dance floor and got “Happy” with Pharrell and had the “Time of Our Lives” with Ne-Yo and Pitbull. BFP’s dance party continued as the full horn section got “Uptown Funk”-y and rocked the house with an impromptu blues jam on the dance floor at the end of the night. Thanks to everyone who made this a spectacular birthday celebration!

Jennifer + Tim are a super fun couple that know how to throw a party! The ceremony was held on the bluffs of the Palos Verdes Peninsula at the luxurious Trump National Golf Club, and the reception began as the sun set over the Pacific Ocean. This couple met while working on cruise ships and had a great time getting down on the dance floor with our 12-piece dance band. For the after-party, a huge In & Out Burger truck served up custom orders of their famous burgers to all guests for a perfect, savory late-night snack!

Heather + Chris

September 13, 2013

Heather & Chris launched their new life together with a sparkly Las Vegas inspired wedding by Styling Starts Here at Paradise Point in San Diego. Chris, who works in the entertainment industry, knew he wanted to throw a fun party. His new bride, Heather, started out the evening in a gorgeous tiered gown and surprised everyone with a wardrobe change for the wedding reception into a glitzy white party dress. BFP provided a steel drum player for their gourmet beach casual cocktail party the night before the wedding and a DJ for the beach brunch the day after the wedding. We had a 12-piece wedding dance band that rocked the house with everything from classic to contemporary hits for their reception. They ended the evening with a bang by handing out sparklers to guests.
