Throughout the next couple of months, I thought I would tell you a little bit about our staff. These are the people that you email with, talk to on the phone, and greet you when you come in. These are also the people that make our company what it is, and the seven of them are awesome! So I figured it was time to formally introduce them.
First up Becky, our Sales and Marketing Manager.
Becky, and her baby, yes, she is pregnant and is due at the end of December. Becky handles all kinds of information in our company, but her most important role is getting our brand out there. She follows up with all of the professionals we work with, attends networking events, manages all of our marketing components and still has time to do a whole boat load of other things.
She does however have a few bad qualities - for example, she's a New York Mets fan - but hey, she wasn't born in Philadelphia, so I can't really hold it against her.

Mary and Lenny
Mary and Lenny were married in a breathtaking ceremony at the Park Hyatt at the Bellevue and had a beautiful reception in XIX Restaurant. We worked with some amazing professionals (and friends) on this wedding. Erin Proud of Proud to Plan coordinated everything and Jenn Childress of Jenn Childress Photography captured it all. We created the beautiful chuppa for Mary and Lenny - we also uplit the restaurant and washed the dance floor, giving the room a very warm feel.
Mary and Lenny - we wish the best! Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your special day!

Kelly and Chris
Kelly and Chris had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Holly Hedge Estate. We are at Holly Hedge fairly regularly and really enjoy working with Alby and the rest of the staff over there. Kelly and Chris's wedding was no exception. They're such a great couple and we're so glad we could be a part of their special day!
Mark and Chris DJ'd their ceremony and reception and we also did the lighting for them in the ballroom. We uplit the room in pink and put the couples monogram on the dance floor. Kelly and Chris made a point to tell Mark how much they loved the lighting and how it made the room pop!
Kelly and Chris, we're so glad you were happy with everything and we wish you all the best!
Thanks so much to our friend Joyce at Casual Candids for the images!

Why our Employee's are important
One of the ideals that Synergetic holds high is its team of employees. And being an employee is the key thing at our company. While many people in our industry use independent contractors, we feel that making the decision to make our DJs employees gives us and you, the customer, an advantage.
The big advantage we have is that our DJs only work for our company. They do not freelance for other companies. This keeps them focused on what our expectations are and they know exactly what needs to be done at your event. They follow a strict set of guidelines of what is expected, which allows us to provide consistent events for our clients.
We hear from so many venue managers that DJ companies are inconsistent with their talent. So we hold monthly meetings, weekly training sessions, and constantly share new information, in order to keep our DJs consistent and up to date.
This model isn't only great for you, but for our DJs too. They know that they have a central management team handling all the sales calls, information gathering and equipment concerns. They know that their job is secure (which is how we can promise you the DJ you meet)! This allows them to do what they are good at, DJing!
The next big advantage to our company structure is our equipment. It is the back bone of our
job. All of our DJs use our equipment. Each year we invest in updating it and research the best, new equipment for our different events. We have so many different configurations, that we can always get our clients the best system for the size of their party and the venue they are working in. And with our team of technicians, the equipment is always in perfect condition.
And one of the biggest reasons we love to classify our DJs as employees, is because its just better for them. Even though it costs us a little more money, we have awesome piece of mind knowing that we are helping them for retirement and we know that they are covered if anything should happen to them.
We think the above ideals really generate a great team to work with. And if you ever want to see what we are talking about, just come out to one of our open houses and see for yourself. Every single one of our guys (and girls) will impress you. And we can say that without any hesitation.

Theresa and Scott
Theresa and Scott had a beautiful ceremony and reception at Cairnwood Mansion. Cairnwood is an amazing place, with a lot of character and we are very lucky to work there regularly. Theresa and Scott are an extremely fun couple (as you will see from the pictures below) and we are thrilled that we were a part of their special day. Matt and Chris DJ'd the reception and we also did the up lighting, dance floor break ups, monogram and pin spotting.
Thanks so much to Jackie Bayne of Love Shack Photography for the awesome images! Check out the Love Shack site for more of this wedding!
Theresa and Scott, we wish you the very best!
Theresa and Scott surprised their guests with a choreographed hip hop dance. Check out their outfits!

The Synergetic DJ's
A couple of months ago, Tim and Lauren of Dinofa Photography came out to our office to take some pictures of our DJ's for us. You might remember Tim and Lauren from previous blog posts - along with being fantastic photographers, we also DJ'd and did the lighting for their wedding a couple of years ago. You can check out images of their awesome wedding here.
Tim and Lauren, thank you guys so much! After seeing these pictures I have to admit I'm a bit jealous - maybe I should learn how to be a DJ!
