Lauren and Martin

Every wedding is different. They each seem to have a life of their own. They unfold before us, sometimes just as you expect, and other times unexpected situations pop up. It is the unexpected situations that I love the most as a DJ. At Lauren and Martin's wedding at the Mendenhall Inn an unexpected situation popped up, but it was a good one.

Lauren and Martin were the quintessential bride and groom. They wanted to dance! And so did their friends. From the second the last meal was served, until the end of the night, their close friends were glued to the dance floor.

Now, Lauren and Martin knew what they wanted. First, they wanted a wow effect in the room. So as you can see from the pictures, up lighting in blue, dance floor wash in amber and a monogram to top it off, gave them the wow factor they were going for. The room really looked elegant. But, there were some things that needed to be addressed to get the room to look this way. Thanks to our Project Manager, Michael, we got all of the calculations we needed, lined up with the right fixtures in the right places to get the room looking the right way. All of our clients work with a project manager when they contract with us.

The Mendenhall Inn is a great place to get to married. The staff is so easy to work with and they serve dinner in a way that allows you and your guests the most amount of time for dancing. I love that.

We also were able to work with Marc from Marc Anthony Photography. Marc took some great pictures and was just so much fun to work with. I have worked with him quite a few times and we always have a good time. Thanks for the pictures Marc!

From there, Lauren really wanted to get people to dance. And she was trusting enough to leave most of the programming up to me. And boy did I get creative. Songs such as “Regulators,”
“Good vibrations,” and “Call On Me,” were played. In fact, as the night went on, the R&B of the late 90’s started to be the music of choice for Martin and his group of friends. It was amazing to see the groomsmen dance to “Billie Jean!”So you might ask what was so unexpected about this wedding. Well, it was the bride and groom. Very rarely do I ever see my bride AND groom on the dance floor at the same time for the WHOLE night. Lauren and Martin did just that. They danced to almost every song and that was so great to see!

Thanks for letting me spin for your family and friends Lauren and Martin. I had a great time.

Melissa and Matt

Melissa and Matt's wedding was a blast! They had their July reception at the Double Tree Hotel on Broad Street, a beautiful venue for an unforgettable wedding in the city. Everything went great: the flower arrangements from Grove Floral Shop were tremendous, the food and service from the Double Tree were top-notch, and the music and lighting we provided took Matt and Melissa's big day to the next level!

When I met with Melissa and Matt at the Synergetic office prior to their wedding, I knew I would be a great fit for them. They needed a DJ that could handle all formalities with eloquent professionalism, and also someone who could give their guests a night of non-stop dancing. I ensured them that I was their man! Matt and Melissa were also interested in our lighting which made the already-beautiful Symphony Ballroom even more picturesque.

They selected uplighting in soft pink, dance floor wash in amber, and a custom monogram on the wall that really brought the room together. Marc Matteo from Marc Anthony Photography took some great shots throughout the night that highlight the added lighting.

My 2nd DJ for the night was Jim Gosser. We knew from early on in the night that Melissa and Matt's guests were a fun bunch, as they were on the dance floor even during dinner. I even had to make an announcement to remind them that their meals were being served! Here are some fun dinner songs that worked really well at the beginning of the night: "Give It Up," by Marvin Gaye, "Rock With You," by Michael Jackson, "Start Me Up," by the Rolling Stones, and "Roadhouse Blues," by The Doors. Jim and I were also able to incorporate all of Melissa and Matt's dinner selections.

Once the guests were finished eating, I kicked the music up a notch and got everyone on the dance floor. With my ability to read a crowd mixed with a great list of Melissa and Matt's selections, the floor was raging all night. During some songs, like House of Pain's "Jump Around", it was borderline-dangereous! I played a little bit of everything, from oldies to modern hits, to ensure that everyone heard something they liked.

Like many guests, when I played the last song, I couldn't believe the night was already over. It was a pleasure being a part of Melissa and Matt's wedding day, and giving them and their guests a night to remember!
