This Christmas

With Christmas right around the corner it’s easy for people to lose sight of what’s really important. Two days before the big day tons of last minute shoppers are packing the malls determined to get that perfect gift. As we all are excited to celebrate Christmas of 2009 and the welcoming of 2010 our entire team would like to thank all vendors, clients, friends and family for an amazing year. 2009 was our best year to date and we are eager to see what 2010 has to bring. It is important for us to take a step back and reflect on the great relationships we have built over the year and how they have impacted our events.
We have such an amazing team of DJ’s, Production and Office Staff that make up the entire Synergetic team. I am very thankful I have the opportunity to work with these great people on a daily basis. No gift could equal the amount of fun we all have working with each other throughout the year. I don’t know too many people who can describe their work environment as an appealing one to be in such as ours. The only reason it is this way is because of the people we work with. From unique photographers, to creative planners our events are successful from not only the individual roles we each bring, but the cohesive bonds we form while working them.
We’d like to wish all of our clients and vendors a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! We hope that 2010 brings more great events for us to produce for, and with great people.

Lighting at Westover Country Club

Danielle and Greg had a winter wonderland reception at Westover Country Club earlier this month. We uplit the room in blue and provided a snowflake dancefloor wash. They were nice additions to the couples theme and the room looked beautiful!

Thanks to our friend Sharyn Frenkel, Sharyn Frenkel Photography, for the images.

Goodbye ... till March

As of 4:00today I am officially on maternity leave. My husband and I are expecting a baby girl, due December 26. We are extremely excited and could not ask for a better gift! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! I look forward to speaking with you again in March, when I will be back in the office full time!

Thanks so much to my friend Jen (http://www.jencleary.com/) for the picture!

When is a good time to call you back?

As the person in the company who handles all of our DJ clients, it is imperative that I contact them in a timely manner. But what is considered a timely manner?

Last week I had a conversation with a potential client who is planning her wedding and just started her search for entertainment. She told me that on Tuesday she reached out to four different DJ companies in the area looking for more information. Being at work, email was her only means of communication, and in each email, she clearly stated that she was unable to talk on the phone during the day. To her disgust, two of the four companies called her cell phone within 10 minutes of her email. She wasn’t sure if the vendors who called were displaying great customer service or an act of desperation.

We traded emails over the course of a couple days and set up a convenient time to chat on the phone about entertainment for her wedding. I asked her what her feelings were on how long a professional should wait to call her back and her view was that they should not call immediately, but that they shouldn’t wait three days to contact her either. Her biggest issue was that she specifically stated in her email not to call during the day, and two of them called anyway. As we spoke in more detail I started thinking to myself just how important the length of time a professional waits to call a prospective client back is. There are a ton of factors that go into selecting entertainment for a wedding reception; with each client prioritizing the factors differently.

A word of advice for brides-to-be; make sure you state in your emails to professionals when a good time is for them to contact you. As one of those professionals, there is nothing worse than bothering you with information when you’re just about to sit down to dinner or walk into an important meeting. We all have different means of getting you the information you need to make the important decisions while planning your wedding - whether it be via the phone, email, or snail-mail - each piece of information you get helps you decide who will make the cut and who won’t. Ultimately your team of professionals is going to have an enormous impact on your wedding day. The relationship you build with them is very important - the end result can depend on it - so it’s always nice to start off on the right foot.

Happy Chanukah!

Chanukah begins tonight at sundown - we wish you and your family a very happy and healthy Chanukah!

I am looking forward to taking out the menorah, lighting the candles and making/eating latkes. Latkes can be a pain to make (for those of us who aren't great cooks), but they are so worth it! There are thousands of recipes out there, but I find using an egg and some starch, as well as squeezing as much water as possible out of the potatoes is very helpful. Frying latkes is the tradition, but for those who are health conscious, you can bake them as well. It's not the same but they're still good - plus you can always add some extra applesauce!

So however you celebrate, whether it's at home with a few loved ones, or at a huge party singing songs and playing dreidel, enjoy!

-Becky

Eileen and Mike

We really do have the best clients, the thank you notes have just been rolling in this week!

We received the following from Eileen and Mike:
"My husband Mike and I wanted to send a thank you to everyone at Synergetic Sounds, particularly Matt Blank. Make and I were married on Friday, November 6 and Matt was the DJ at our wedding. My husband and I are *huge* music lovers and finding the perfect DJ was very important to us. We found Synergetic through a referral from a friend and loved your professionalism from the first phone call.

I initially spoke with Jason who let me know that Matt was available on our wedding night to DJ our reception. When Mike and I met with Matt, we talked with him about what we would like in a DJ - someone who would talk on the microphone minimally and keep the dance floor packed all night. After that first meeting, Mike and I both felt confident that Matt would give us exactly what we were looking for in a DJ. And boy, did he deliver!

Matt did an awesome job at our wedding reception! I had a *blast* dancing all night. Numerous friends and family members have commented to us about the great DJ we had. Matt did such a great job keeping me (and even my husband at times!) and all of our guests dancing and having a great time all night long. Thank you Matt, for making our wedding reception the fun filled night I hoped it would be.

Thank you to all of you for helping to make such a special night in our lives perfect. We have wonderful memories of our wedding reception and you all played a very important part in that. You all do a wonderful job!"

This is why we do what we do and why our DJ's are so passionate.
Eileen and Mike, thank you so much for your kind words. We're so glad you were happy! We wish you the best!

To see some pictures "of people rocking out on the dance floor," according to Eileen, check out Jenn Childress's blog.

Alison and Troy

Alison and Troy were married last month at Holly Hedge. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception - Jason DJ'd both and we provided the plasmas and did the up lighting. We recently received a lovely letter from Alison's father, Steve, that I'd like to share.

"This note is overdue. We wanted to thank you again for the fantastic work you and your assistant did with the wedding and reception. Your performance as master of ceremonies was just as we had hoped it would be when we started planning the event.

The red up lighting absolutely made the room. We can’t imagine what it would have looked like if we hadn’t done it. It was so dramatic and it created such warmth in the room. The still pictures look beautiful with the lighting in the background. We can’t wait to see what it did for the video.

Speaking of video, the clip during the father/daughter dance came out perfect. It was the hit of the evening. We got so many compliments and many of the men commented that they had gotten 'misty' eyed. Thank you for your kind words after it was over. It was the moment we had planned for so long and it clearly exceeded our expectations.

Overall, every one of the people involved in the making this wedding either met or exceeded our expectations. But we really believe you and Albie were the keys to it. You two work so well together.

Once more, thank you for doing such a wonderful job and making the only major event of our lives such a success. We will never forget it.

With warm regards,
Ellie and Steve"

Ellie and Steve, we're so glad you were pleased with our services. It was a beautiful wedding and we're so glad we could be a part of such an important time in your lives. We wish you, Alison and Troy all the best!

Here is a video clip of the father/daughter dance that Steve mentioned in his letter. While Alison and Steve were dancing, playing on the plasmas was video of the two of them dancing together at an event when she was 7. Thanks so much to Steve Newbert at All Occasion Video for the clip!

Thanksgiving - a day to reflect

When I think about Thanksgiving, the first things that come to mind are, food and family. My husband and I get both sides of our families together at our home for a wonderful day filled with love, laughter and lots of food. Even though Thanksgiving isn't my favorite holiday food-wise, I look forward to it every year.

In the Jewish religion, there are days dedicated to reflection, but I see Thanksgiving as another day for that. 2009 has been a year of tremendous ups and downs for many, I know it has been for myself and my family, but when there is a "down," an "up" isn't usually too far behind. No matter how difficult things get, or how hard one day may seem, there is always tomorrow.

I am extremely thankful for my Husband and my family. I have a wonderful job and work with some incredible people. I have a baby girl on the way and I could not be more thankful for her. No matter how tough things seem, there is always something to be thankful for. So at some point today, or over the next few days, instead of dwelling on what's missing, please take some time to reflect on all that you have and all that you're thankful for. I promise to do the same.

I hope you all have a happy and healthy holiday, filled with love, laughter and lots of food.

Jessica and Justin

We got a very nice "thank you" in the mail from Jessica and Kurt that I wanted to share. Kurt DJ'd their reception at Woodcrest Country Club back in August.

"Dear Kurt, We really enjoyed having you as the DJ for our wedding on August 1st. You were very professional and a pleasure to work with. You did a great job of playing a variety of music - everyone had a great time at our wedding. I was impressed with how many people were out on the dance floor all night. Thank you for all of your hard work. -Jessica and Justin."

Jessica and Justin, we're so glad you were pleased and we wish you all the best!

Her are a few images from their special day thanks to Dana Romano Photography.

Kurt and Shawn - our DJ's love what they do!

How some simple lighting can make a big difference

We recently received some images from Leslie at Leslie Gilbert Photography. We worked with Leslie on two different lighting rentals over the past couple of months and what she captured, really shows how big of a difference some simple lighting can make.

This first wedding was at Congress Hall in Cape May, NJ. We did up lighting and dance floor break ups.

Up lighting is a nice, simple way to add some warmth, light and color to a room.

The break ups add some visual interest to the dance floor without becoming overwhelming.

The second wedding was at the Radisson Plaza-Warwick in Philadelphia. We did pink up lighting throughout the room, for both the ceremony and reception. It is simple, but really warmed up the room.
If you are interested in lighting for your ceremony or reception, give us a call, (215) 633-1200. We'd be happy to talk to you about what we can do!

Thanks so much for the images Leslie!
-Becky

Tina and Erik

For Tina and Erik's reception at Pen Ryn Mansion, we uplit the room in pink, did dance floor break ups in a darker pink and projected their monogram on the dance floor. The room looked beautiful!

Thanks to Robert Winton of Because You Love Photography for the images!

Official Offshoots! Launch

A few weeks ago Jason and I attended the official Offshoots! launch at Feastivities. Offshoots! is the floral and decor branch of Feastivities catering. Chris, the new Director of Design and Development at Offshoots!, asked us to do some lighting to help showcase their work and we're really glad we were able to help.

We did break up patterns on the outside of the building - talk about a WOW factor when you drove up!


We also did some up lighting and pin spotting throughout the inside of the building, and of course, provided our awesome Plasma Bar!


Chris, thanks so much for asking us to participate! We're looking forward to working with you more in the future!

A HUGE thank you to the always fabulous Jackie Bayne (Love Shack Photo) for the beautiful images!

And here's a picture of Paola and I at the event. Paola is the Creative Director at Offshoots! and an all around awesome person! We're due just 7 weeks apart!

Christina and Jonathan

Christina and Jonathan had a beautiful wedding at Brantwyn Mansion in Wilmington back in October. Christina was a very easy bride to work with. She came in to meet with us armed with a vision for her wedding and we are so glad we were able to bring that vision to life - although it was slightly tricky to execute as we were lighting each room of the mansion in a different way.

The pin spotting, up lighting and gobo projections were all set based on particular specifications. Our crew, led by Jess G., also had to set up up lighting and intelligent lighting in the 60x40 tent.
Now, not many of our clients choose to use intelligent lighting. We do try to push it as it gives you complete control over the lighting for the entire evening, but most of the time it comes down to budget. However, if you can swing it, it really does makes a difference.

Jessica was our programmer for the night and she had the tent looking amazing! Even the band felt like the energy from the lighting as each song had a completely different feel based on the lighting Jessica had going. The whole top of the tent came alive.

Christina and Jonathan, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your special day. It was an amazing wedding and we had a great time working on it. We also got to work with a great team of professionals! Thanks so much to, Jenna from Brantwyn Mansion, Sabrina from The Blushing Bride and Alicia from Blossom Productions.

Here is a sneak peak at Christina and Jonathan's wedding! Thanks so much Alicia!

Will the Real DJ Hero Please Stand Up

I take pride in my talent of being a true DJ that can mix, scratch, read a crowd and do live remixes in front of 200+ people. There is no better feeling than when I pick the perfect song to play, tease it a bit with scratching in a lyric or two, mix it seamlessly so both songs are playing as one and then watch the energy of the crowd rise to a point it’s never been. Talk about an adrenaline rush. But try and do that 100 times in one night. That is the sign of a true DJ.

Last night as I was leaving the office, I received a call from a friend who bought the new DJ Hero game for PlayStation. I laughed, because I knew he would want to challenge me, and that's funny due to the combination of him having no rhythm and his love of video games.


After playing, and mastering the game, I realized the feeling that the game produces is similar to the one I described above. I have to admit that the game had its moments - I had to use the skills I have as a DJ and apply them to a character in the game - he was a 400 pound man spinning in a subway car in the middle of a rave in an empty parking lot. The eerie thing about the game that I noticed is when my friend would incorrectly mix a sequence the virtual crowd would boo him, causing him to lose points.

That is both exactly like being a real DJ, and nothing like it. Let me explain. In our profession, if the DJ cannot mix, fumbles the beats, or even selects the wrong type of song to play, the crowd will let him or her know. They will not boo like the virtual crowd in the game, but they'll stop dancing. The repercussions of being a poor DJ are having poor events and unhappy clients, followed by bad reviews and ultimately leading to no work. In the game, the worst that can happen is that you lose points and restart the game. As I was leaving his house, I thought about how distant the DJ hero game was to reality.

When it comes to DJing a wedding, it's not a game. A real DJ hero will show up, mix great music and get the guests dancing and having a wonderful time. Unfortunately, there are DJ's out there like I described above - the ones who fumble the songs and empty the dancefloor, and in real life, there's no restart button. There's no virtual crowd to boo and they won't be waiting with open arms when you show up again. At a wedding, the crowd from the game is your family and friends and they won't forget the music and the time they had at the wedding. If you fumble, they won't be waiting with open arms.

-Matt

Synergetic Staff- Joan

In 2007, we realized we needed some help doing the day to day things. So we set out to find an administrative assistant to help us with contracts, answering phones, getting the events organized, etc. Two years later, she's still here and is a vital part of our company. Her name is Joan.

When she first started here, she didn’t know much about the special event industry. But, little by little, she picked it up. Today, she is a great first person for our clients and potential clients to speak to. With us, it is the little things that count, because all of those little things add up. Being prepared is just as important as doing a good job, and Joan makes sure we are prepared and headed in the right direction.

Joan is a huge Philadelphia sports fan. Depending on the season, you'll find her sporting her jersey or talking about the game from the night before. She has a wonderful family and sings in her church choir.

Next time you call in, make sure to chat with her a bit. She will be more then happy to talk to you about your event and give you information.

Thats What Friends Are For

The age of 25 brings with it types of friendships that have never been presented before. At this point, I am now four years out of college, and quite embedded in my profession and the wedding industry. Coincidentally, I am at the age where a lot of my friends are getting married and need help planning their weddings. Because of what I do, I am in a unique position - I can not only help them plan and connect them with other professionals, but I can also DJ their reception myself.

Some friends are closer than others, so there are times I am invited to the wedding as a guest, but even when I am offered the opportunity to enjoy the other side, I still want everything to go perfectly for them. So I typically don’t fully enjoy myself because I’m constantly offering to help. I would never let a friend make a bad decision when it comes to their wedding, as I have friends that would never let me make a bad investment, or allow me to do my taxes incorrectly. As a person embedded in this industry, how could I not want to offer my opinion and help? Sometimes it is more enjoyable for me to actually work a friends wedding, because I am not only in control - so that I can ensure they have a great time - I also have the chance to show my peers what I can do.

In October, I had the opportunity to DJ my friends wedding at Constatters in Northeast Philadelphia. Mark and Ashley are great people. Mark is the type of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and will always be honest with you. He wanted nothing more than to have a great party with a packed dance floor. But Mark also has musical tastes that don't normally work well for a wedding, for example, House of Pain, Beastie Boys and Black Sheep.

My challenge was not only to play his style of music, but also allow his guests to have a great time. I knew right away that the majority of the people attending would not pack the dance floor to, "Put on Your Kickin Shoes," by House of Pain. So as the dancing portion of the reception started I made it a point to read the crowd deeper than I ever have - this gave me the opportunity to dabble a bit in his style of music, while continuing to play more popular songs. Before I knew it, everyone was on the dance floor having a great time and it occurred to me that no matter what I played they would continue to enjoy themselves. At that point, the gloves came off and I proceeded to really show off my talent of scratching, mixing and cutting.

I will never forget the look on some of my peers faces after I’d mix a song in and they’d glance at each other in amazement, almost as if they were secretly trying to figure out how I was taking different songs and mixing them together so perfectly. As the wedding concluded, everyone that attended made a point to tell me what a great time the wedding was. Not only was I successful in my job as a DJ, but also in my job as a friend. The guests danced and had a great time and I was able to help my friends have the wedding of their dreams. But hey, that’s what friends are for, right?

Express Yourselves (and your relationship) Through Music

A couple of months ago I had the opportunity to give Brides Magazine my input on some different ideas for songs to play during the formalities at a wedding (ceremony & reception). Reflecting on recent weddings I’ve done where the music was a bit different, I began to formulate a list that was, "The remedy for the common wedding music."

In writing the article for the magazine I tried to reach as many different types of couples as I could with my picks. I found that no matter what type of music is suggested, it has to be meaningful to the couple for it to work for them. Because music is such an important part of my life, it would be difficult for me to suggest the same songs to every couple that I work with for their ceremony, recessional or first dance. Just because I think a song is a good fit for one couple's first dance, doesn't mean it will work for another couple.

So instead of suggesting particular songs for the ceremony or reception, my job is to help the couple figure out what their collective identity is, and help them to display it through the music at their event. When a couple hires a DJ for their ceremony, they have free reign to communicate with their guests the type of love they share through music.

Some couples want to hear "The Wedding March" and "Here Comes the Bride" because they identify that music with a wedding. I feel as though that only scratches the surface. Why not find music you both enjoy that represents your relationship in the deepest way? Why not have your guests associate the lyrics and melodies of a particular song with the smell of the flowers you’ve picked and the sight of your beautiful dress? The best part about having a DJ at a ceremony is that you can pick any song, from any group, in any genre.

The music you select can accomplish several things. One may be to lighten the mood during the ceremony. I once had a client select REM’s, "It’s the End of the World" as their recessional song. The guests laughed - but it was a song the couple enjoyed.

Some couples choose a song they heard on the radio during their first date. When I worked with my couple from last weekend, they selected "Bed of Roses," by Bon Jovi as their first dance song. They did not choose that song because of the lyrics, or because it represented their relationship, rather they wanted that song because they met while standing outside in line for a Bon Jovi Concert and it met something to them.

Selecting the music for your wedding can be as trivial as using Google and searching for "Wedding Music" or as intricate as finding the acoustic version of Foo Fighters, "Everlong" that they sung while touring in Colorado. Either way the music should mean the most to you, and should convey the message of your love for one another. If your identity is shown through the style of dress you select, or type of flower you carry, the music should express the relationship you’re vowing to uphold.

-Matt

What Makes Us Different

When people ask me this question, I usually say, “we answer the phone.” It sounds like a small thing, but in this industry, I think it is a very important thing for us to do. When I call a company with questions or to find out some more information, I appreciate speaking to someone, not a machine. It's more personal.

But over the past couple of months, we have really tried to analyze what makes us different - it can be a hard thing to do. But, after a lot of thought and reflection of past events, we found that our ability to truly reflect our clients personalities and style is what makes us different.

When we meet with our clients and potential clients, we ask a lot of questions in order to get the right information which in turn helps us envision what they want and eventually, provide them with it. We want our clients guests leaving their event saying, "that was them."

Your event should be a reflection of you. We can help you tailor your style and show your personality in a way that all of your guests can enjoy. We love hearing positive feedback from our clients, but the ultimate compliment comes when a client tells us that their guests can't stop talking about it.

Each event calls for different ideas and suggestions - we work through these together to figure out what works best for you, your vision and your venue. You may have seen something in a magazine or at another event that caught your eye - we will work with you to personalize it. Throughout the process of securing your professionals, you are looking for people that "get" your vision, not only do we get it, but we'll help you showcase it.

That might not sound like a huge thing. You may have been expecting some big statement on how we are the best. But I think when all is said and done, and all of the little details come together and you have the chance to reflect back on your event, you would agree with us. Our customer service was top notch and we did a pretty good job reflecting your style.

-Jason

We love happy clients!

We got a very nice thank you note in the mail from Maureen and Matt. Jason DJed their September reception at The Manor House, and we also did the up lighting and their monogram.

"Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding a truly memorable event. Not only did you have the dance floor packed all night long, but all of our guests talked about how 'un-wedding DJ' like everything was. The lighting was perfect and set the tone for the evening. I've passed your number along, and will continue to do so! Thanks again!"

Maureen and Matt, we're so glad you were happy and we really appreciate that you chose us to be a part of your special day!

Here are a few images from their reception thanks to the ladies at Creative Images!

Live Bait - where it began

The very first club/bar that I DJed at was a small, up and coming spot in Olde City (Before Olde City was what it is today). It was 1998 and I was asked to DJ a Sorority party upstairs at Live Bait. At the end of the night, Frank, the owner, asked me to spin every night.

For most of you in your late 20’s and early 30’s you may remember this place. It was a blast! It has long since closed down, but I have great memories of it and still talk to some wonderful people from there. It was located in the same building that Glam was in on 2nd street. This bar was one of the places that turned Olde City into the place to be - fire blowing bar tenders, animated patrons and of course, great music!

I recently had dinner with one of the upstairs bartenders, Jamison Delles. We reminisced about the good times, and the people - and what some of them are up to today. Unfortunately, I probably DJed the best type of club/bar I will ever have the chance to spin in at the beginning of my career. If I only would have known that at 18!

And for any Eagles fan reading this, you may know Sean, a bouncer from Live Bait. He is the craziest Eagles fan in the city. He is always in pads, painted face and screaming! I grew to become good friends with him.

So here is a big shout out to Dana, Art, Palace roller skating Joe, Sean, Brandon, Frankie Jr. and Sr., Donna, Mike, Vanessa , Doogie and all the rest.

Jade and Gordon

Jade and Gordon were married in a beautiful, intimate ceremony at Sweetwater Farm. In between the ceremony and reception, Jade, Gordon and their bridal party took advantage of the beautiful grounds, and animals, with their photographer Heather Fowler. Heather captured some beautiful moments and Jade and Gordon’s love and happiness just radiates from the images.

I checked in with Jade after the wedding to extend my congratulations and make sure they were happy with our services. Jade said, “Matt Bowyer did a fantastic job at the wedding. We were really happy with the music throughout the evening. I loved how he kept everybody on the dance floor during the reception!”

Jade and Gordon, we’re so glad that you were pleased and we wish you nothing but the best! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Thanks so much to our friend Heather Fowler for the images below. They’re absolutely beautiful! (Oh and if you’re a sports fan Jade may look familiar to you. She covers sports for Philadelphia’s NBC 10).

New equipment

Well, they finally came in. We recently got a new fleet of 46 inch LCD screens. They are beautiful!

Ronnie and John

Ronnie and John are a couple who had an image of exactly how they wanted their wedding to be and how to make that image a reality. For the ceremony, they had an image of Lanterns and unique, yet quaint and elegant lighting. They weren’t looking for anything flashy, but rather a classy and warm feeling. We, along with other professionals brought that vision to life with different size lighted lanterns, a Chuppah, and some bee lights. One look at the setup and the bride and groom were in awe!


That same passion which painted the picture of the ceremony transpired to the image and feel Ronnie and John wanted to create for dinner and dancing. They wanted a warm and inviting atmosphere for dinner with a little flare that would carry over to dancing. The bride and groom decided that pink would be the color; nothing over the top or florescent but still upbeat. Ronnie wanted the"WOW" factor and a wedding that her family, friends, and associates would remember. Between a consultation and a few conversations, Ronnie and John had conveyed their vision, and we were able to bring it to life at the National Constitution Center.


With the atmosphere created from the lighting and the dinner selections Mark and Ed played; the guests were ready to dance as soon as the plates were cleared. Ronnie and John wanted to ensure their guests had as much time to dance as possible and decided to extend the reception thirty minutes. They were on the dance floor from the first beat to the last; a very energetic and fun crowd!

Mark spoke with Ronnie and John after the wedding. They said it could not have gone better and they could not have asked for more! We are so glad that they were happy and truly enjoyed their special day!

Ronnie and John, we wish you all the best!

Special thanks to David Zaveloff for the beautiful images!
