This past weekend I had the pleasure of Dj-ing for Matthew’s 40th birthday party at the Andaz Hotel in West Hollywood. This was Loud DJs first time at the venue. The venue itself is beautiful and tasteful. At first entering the building I literally thought I had waltzed into an art gallery by accident. The lobby is covered floor-to-ceiling with modern furniture and design pieces; the second floor mezzanine was showing off a photo collection dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne. Not your average hotel!
For the evening Loud Hollywood DJs was placed in one of several studios located on the mezzanine floor, overlooking the busy and colorful downtown Hollywood scene. Each of these studios is multi-purpose. They have hardwood floors, carpeted sections (which can be moved), large conference tables for corporate events and even a stylish iPod dock for using your own music. For presentation purposes they have professional A/V inputs for the ceiling PA system.
The party itself was a fun and obviously classy cocktail crowd. The entire far wall of Studio 4 at the Andaz was met with a full bar. The very courteous staff regularly kept the attendees fueled with a good selection of hors d’oeuvres and drinks. I kept to my diet soda w/lime of course. Music for the evening included tracks from one end of my library to the other, scanning hits meant to listen too, not force everyone to dance. All in all, I’m very happy to have DJ-ed Matt’s birthday party and hope for more opportunities to DJ at The Andaz Hollywood again!
