Set across the grounds of The Crosby Club at Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego County, this black-tie California wedding moved through several distinct settings over the course of the day. Guests arrived to live strings on the clubhouse lawn before moving to the patio for cocktails with DJ and live sax.
The reception then shifted outdoors to the driving range, where dinner, speeches and dancing unfolded under the open sky. A live band opened the reception with a more relaxed dinner set before returning later for a 90-minute dance-floor power set, with the DJ carrying the transitions and special moments throughout the evening.
After the outdoor reception wrapped, the celebration moved inside to the clubhouse ballroom for a late-night after-party built around house, tech house and select hip-hop. Across ceremony, cocktails, reception and after-party, the entertainment program combined strings, sax, DJ and live band across four different parts of the property.

Having the musicians and entire team at St. Royal be a part of our wedding was one of the true highlights. Andrew, Jess and Kathy helped us every step of the way through the planning process and went through a detailed run through for us of what to expect the day of. And when it comes to the band, we can’t say enough good things. Our guests loved the live music, and the band crushed it with their performance. We asked them to do a certain vibe (think Earth Wind Fire, Michael Jackson, etc.) and they delivered. We highly recommend other couples to consider booking St. Royal for their special day. It really makes a difference.
