Last year I did a corporate holiday party in San Jose. It was a good time with lots of positive energy. They contacted me again and asked if I can do their event this year in Napa. For some reason I think of Napa being over 2 hours away but it is not that far from San Jose. Usually I only drive less than an hour to the events but I remember the positive vibe from the company event we had last year.

  I made sure we had two wireless microphones since at times there seems to be more than one event happening at a time. They were doing a raffle so they would read out numbers and the guests would receive nice prizes. It was their 25th year anniversary so we were instructed to stop what was happening every 25 minutes and make a game show sound and they would do a black jack game based on who was selected. The guests would have an option to keep the 50 dollars or a chance to double it by playing black jack. If they lose then they only get 25 dollars. It was fun on top of fun.

 As a dj you are supposed to not interrupt the speaker but with the 25-minute count down that did not matter. It was pretty humorous to play the Jeopardy daily double sound effect in the middle of someone speaking and it was black jack time.  Also during the night, they played the hi low game with big cards and guests had to predict if their card would be higher or lower than the dealer. The last guest standing would win a good prize.

 During the raffle, they would give out framed pictures of a comedian. So it felt like the white elephant prank. But the guests were not left out. Those three that got the gift was invited to play a game for big cash prizes at the end.

The company gave out nice prizes and the guests were super excited. The positive energy of playing of the games then transitioned to a night of dancing. It was an easy night of playing music since everyone was in positive spirits

In the South county area one has wineries to choose from for big spaces. But in Morgan Hill there is a restaurant that can boast that it has two areas to have parties. I was able to be part of a company party.

Mama Mia always had a big banquet room where I have djed a few times before. They also had a smaller room for small private dinners. Mama Mia did a genius thing and expanded that small room so it can hold bigger parties. On Saturday they had a band in their bigger room and they had me the dj in their newer room. They were able to add some flowers to the room to add a little color to the room. The party was served buffet style. The staff was on it in serving the party and keeping the space clutter free.

 They do have a private bathroom close to the back venue area but there are also the main bathrooms in the front that have more availability.

 One neat factor was even though a band was playing in the same restaurant I did not even hear any of their music. We were able to have two parties at one in close vicinity without the music interfering with each other. Another perk of the back room is that the back parking lot is only a few steps away so to decorate with flowers or to set up dj equipment is really easy.

 So now Mama Mia’s has two nice inside areas to host events and lets not forget their nice outside area so now it’s a triple threat in hosting nice events.
