We’re proud to announce that Starlite has been named one of the 2025 Philadelphia 100® fastest-growing privately held companies, an honor that recognizes measurable financial growth and business excellence across the region.

The Philadelphia 100® Awards are entirely merit-based, celebrating companies that have achieved exceptional, verifiable growth in both revenue and performance. This recognition is not based on nominations or voting. This award is earned through results. For us, that’s what makes this award especially meaningful.

At Starlite, we’ve always defined success by more than just the services we provide. Accordingly, our growth reflects the trust of our clients, the dedication of our team, and our ongoing ability to evolve with the needs of the AV and lighting industry. Above all, being included among the Philadelphia100® companies affirms the direction we’ve taken and the strong foundation we’ve built for the future.

“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible people who make up Starlite. Every bit of our growth comes from their dedication, creativity, and commitment to doing things the right way for our clients. Our founder, Dean Danowitz, built Starlite on integrity and innovation, and it’s rewarding to see our team carry that spirit forward as we continue to grow.”

Joe Masciangelo

COO, Starlite

Celebrating at the Philadelphia100® Awards Ceremony

This achievement became even more meaningful as members of our leadership team attended the official Philadelphia100® Awards celebration, hosted at Live! Casino in Philadelphia. The event brought together some of the region’s most innovative and high-performing companies, and it was an honor to stand among them representing Starlite.

Being able to send our leadership team to the ceremony was a special moment for us—an opportunity to reflect on the hard work behind this recognition and to celebrate alongside peers who share the same drive for excellence. The evening was filled with great conversation, inspiration, and excitement for what’s ahead.

Take a look at some of our photos from the event, capturing the energy of the night and the pride on our leadership team’s faces as Starlite was named to the 2025 Philadelphia100® list.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on sustainable growth, long-term partnerships, and delivering exceptional value to every client we serve.
