"Bengi"
Full Time Job
Graduating with a business degree from Bryant University in 1991, Bengi transitioned in 2005 to become a middle school math teacher. In 2011 he finished his masters in education from ECSU and in 2013 he finished his state certification and is the technology specialist and library media specialist at his school. Prior to his new career, he had worked in information technology at such places as Travelers, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Northeast Utilities, and SNET. Bengi's analytical style is evident in the many questions he will ask during the consultation in order to get a better understanding of the bride and groom.
His Wedding
Bengi was married in October 1996 and had his reception at the Holiday Inn in Mount Kisco, NY. He is proud to admit that he and his wife Karen did not hit each other with the cake.
Old Music
Bengi prefers Bon Jovi and Def Leppard to any classic rock. A true child of the 80's, Bengi also grew up on cheesy 80's dance music. Like Matty, he also listens to other 80's metal bands like Skid Row and White Lion.
Today's Music
Bengi is always behind on today's contemporary music unless it is hip hop or dance song such as those that would be played at a middle school dance, then he knows it. His favorite artists from today are Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Bengi deals with all requests during the wedding, so he is exposed to a wide variety of "eclectic" music each week.
As a DJ
Bengi handles all phone calls and emails. He handles the first meeting with the client. During the wedding, he emcees the introductions and first dance. He is also responsible for start of the Anniversary Dance. Bengi works with the photographers and videographers to let them know the wedding agenda. As Matty manages the wedding, Bengi manages the people at the wedding.
