About Synapse Entertainment

Synapse Entertainment

DJ

Engaged couples worry that the wrong DJ will spoil their wedding. With Synapse Entertainment, you get a personalized playlist for your big day and the fun, organized reception that you dreamed about! With many DJ companies, you don't get to talk to your DJ until late in the process. With Synapse Entertainment, you know up front that your DJ will be Ivan, a trusted DJ/MC.

Wedding planning is not easy, so I have worked hard to find ways to make it easier on you. My planning app allows you to plan your wedding timeline and music easily on your phone or tablet. I also have helpful videos that can guide couples with their wedding and DJ related questions.

    The Best!

    Ivan is the BEST! I think everyone should use him for their wedding! We would recommend him to everyone who asks. He fit the vibe perfectly for each part of our wedding—from the romantic vibes of the ceremony and cocktail hour to the chill vibes of dinner to the fun party vibes of the reception. He was amazing!

    Wedding 4/18

    Ivan is such a true professional and master of his craft. He went above and beyond to make the evening of our wedding so special. The dance floor vibe was exactly what we were dreaming of and all of our guests had an amazing time. Ivan is the man! Would recommend to anyone in search of a DJ.

    Nonstop Dancing!! DJ Ivan & Synapse Entertainment

    Just celebrated my wedding a month ago and had the MOST amazing reception thanks to the phenomenal vibe curation by DJ Ivan and Synapse Entertainment! Ivan was really quick to respond, great to work with, was thorough in nailing down details and questions for what my wife and I wanted in every aspect of the ceremony, was very friendly and open to collaborating with us, our coordinator, and the rest of our vendors. The process was very smooth, from the initial phone conversation with DJ Ivan, we were able to follow up and keep track of the timeline for events using the Vibo app. It wasn’t just general music playlist choices either, but speeches, parent/child dances, announcements and other details couples might not have thought in the moment. All of it is there and organized for you to go through and answer and drop any additional questions you may have. And the night of, DJ Ivan delivered perfectly, we and our guests never left the dance floor, I got a leg cramp from dancing so much! It was perfect! Best night of my life and I’m sure my wife would say much the same. We’d defenitely recommend DJ Ivan for anyone looking to dance the night away with reckless abandon!

    Our Guests Still Talk About Our DJ!

    We can’t say enough good things about Ivan! From our first call to the very last song, he was professional, organized, and such a joy to work with. He checked in regularly, helped us fine-tune our reception timeline, and made planning a breeze with his easy-to-use app for scheduling and song lists. We gave him way more songs than we could possibly fit in, and he did an amazing job reading the room and picking the perfect tracks from our list. Guests kept telling us how much they loved the music—one even said it kept them “on their toes” all night because Ivan moved between genres so effortlessly. He nailed our must-play list, kept the flow as emcee without being overbearing, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. On top of all that, we felt his pricing was a great value compared to others we met with, and he even surprised us with a thoughtful gift after the wedding. Ivan truly made our night unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend him more!
