Tess and James at PAFA

Tess and James had a beautiful reception at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. We uplit the reception area, did a dance floor wash and pin spotted the centerpieces by Details of I Do. Thanks so much to Aleen and Paula of Creative Images for the photos!

Tess and James, we wish you all the best!

It's not easy being green ...

In the past couple of months, we at Synergetic have made a huge effort to be more "green." And as Kermit so eloquently put it, it's not easy being green.

As a DJ and Production Company, we use a fair amount of paper and electricity. In an effort to be more environmentally friendly, we are doing as much electronically as we can and have cut out paper everywhere possible. Accessing our leads and getting the DJ's and production staff the information they need takes a few extra steps now - but it's worth it.

We also switched all of the light bulbs over to high efficiency light bulbs, we've stopped purchasing bottled water, and now have a water cooler and we also have a recycling program in place. We are doing everything we can to minimize our carbon footprint and are open to suggestions of what we can do better.

What do you do to minimize your carbon footprint? How do you celebrate the earth, not just today, but everyday?

Soirée in the City
Philadelphia’s Premier Bridal & Style Event
PHILADELPHIA—Philadelphia brides, wedding and party planners, fashionistas and event
planners rejoice: On Sunday, April 25th [2-6pm] Soirée in the City will feature the best in
beauty, fashion, event décor and style at Trust, the most beautiful gallery & event space in Old City.

Bringing together the best of the industry, Soirée in the City will host a roster of high-end
vendors—from photographers and fashion designers to catering and gifts—all in one place. The
goal is to make preparation for the big day as seamless as possible, while at the same time helping
to craft individual events that will be exceptional standouts for years to come.

“Soirée in the City was created as an alternative to the traditional bridal show. The emphasis of
this event is fashion elegance and style—everything that contributes to the overall look and
atmosphere of a celebration,” says Soirée founder organizer, Laura Eaton.

Attendees will be treated to complimentary cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and desserts. The event is
complete with a goodie bag and visit to the decadent Beauty Lounge, staffed by Béke Beau
makeup artist and Tierra Mia Organic Nail Spa, all included with admission.

“This event isn’t just for brides,” continues Eaton. “Fashion, beauty and other creative vendors
round out Soirée in the City, making it accessible to anyone planning a party or looking for stylish
event options.”

Tickets are $15. To purchase tickets and view a complete list of participants, visit

Melissa and Ian

Melissa and Ian had a beautiful wedding at The Downtown Club in Philadelphia. Mark and Kyle kept the dance floor busy all night and also added to the overall look of the wedding with up lighting, a dance floor wash and the couples monogram. Jessica was also on hand to do the programming as the couple had chosen intelligent lighting.

We got this nice note from the couple:
"Mark and his team were outstanding from start to finish! The lighting, ceremony music and reception all were perfect! I've never been to a wedding before where the dancefloor was filled the entire night. Thank you so much for contributing to our beautiful and fun-filled wedding!"

Thanks so much to Tom Gooch and everyone at Clair Pruett for the beautiful images!

Visualizing your event

Recently, it looks like the economy might be making a come back. We have seen a slight increase in requests for our services regarding larger events and corporate functions. As we talk to these potential clients, it is becoming more and more clear to us that they have a hard time visualizing what their event will look like. Maybe they are new to the event planning position, maybe it has been a while since they did their last meeting or maybe they want to try something new.

One of the best ways we can help you to see what your event will look like is to help you visualize it and show you what that would look like. Visualizing will really help you get a better idea of what you need, where you need it and how it will all look. This is a great way to find the perfect layout for your event. Your production company should be doing this for you. It is a necessary tool for both of you and you should be included in this phase of the design, that way you can make sure the set up is conducive to your event, and all of the equipment you need is accounted for.

Some people need to actually see what their event will look like before they get there - which is completely understandable. This is the perfect option for them. We did a visualization for Pennsbury's Prom last year. It gave the students and faculty a good idea of what to expect.

Pictures from the prom:

We also did a visualization for a bride-to-be. She was having a tented wedding and wanted lanterns, but didn't have a large budget. We told her that she really needed about 70+ lanterns to cover the whole tent, but she couldn't understand why. So we showed her. We did a rendering so she could see why that amount of lanterns was needed to give the look she was going for.

Visualization:

These two are just two examples of the renderings that we can create for your social or coporate event. The clients loved both of them and it made it much easier for them to understand and "see" what they were going to get at their event. We include this option on all of our packages that warrant it. It is just another value that we add to our service.
