A lifelong entertainer and certified event planner with over 25 years experience, NYX Entertainment & Events CEO and Creative Director Howard Teger knows a thing or two about throwing a great celebration! Here are his Top Tips for the Perfect Party. 1 – Timing Is Everything! Spacing out food, formalities, and dancing is the key to a party that flows naturally for the best guest experience. It is essential to balance these three main elements of your party. Fight the […]

One of the most important aspects of any great party is the music. With guests ranging in age from 8 to 80, multiple cultures, religions, and personalities, the best playlist ever made must not leave anyone out. No one understands this better than the DJs at NYX. When you combine the talent and experience of our seasoned professional DJs with your personal favorite songs, the result is your perfect playlist. Our state-of-the-art online music portal allows you to engage with […]

As this year’s Tour de Cure approaches, we’d like to call attention to this great cause. While team NYX on bicycles would be entertaining in and of itself, the American Diabetes Association brought us on-board for their 2013 event to do what we do best:rock the crowd! We wish them continued success with their fundraising goals again this year. Thanks for letting us be a part of your team in the best way possible, American Diabetes Association! We’re looking forward to our […]

Team NYX produced a Harry Potter themed Sweet 16 celebration at the Bethesda Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland. Needless to say, the event was a fun, whimsical, and all around amazing night!

Every detail was carefully orchestrated, from the themed seating cards and gated entrance… …to the candle-lit ceiling, Harry Potter multimedia and custom Hogwarts drapery. […]

Part Three: Music and Entertainment When was the last time you went to a party that had no music? Probably never, right? That’s because music is a major contributor to the overall atmosphere of an event. It has the power to draw your guests in, get everyone on the dance floor and bring the night to a close. Further, “It creates the emotion you want to evoke from your guests,” says talented entertainment producer, Andrew Larris. But, how do you […]

Part Two: Food & Beverage Now that you’ve picked the kind of party that you want to have, we’re ready to graduate to Food and Beverage. New Year’s Eve is now three weeks away, and time’s a tickin’ – take your seat and let’s learn! Beverage We’ll start with the bar because regardless of the kind of party you’re having (cocktail or dinner), champagne isn’t a “want,” it’s a “NEED.” First, you’ll want to select the appropriate space. Talented event […]

We’ve been waiting to show you these brochures for what feels like forever! We teamed up with the creative mind of Mareta Creations to create our new, elevated “brochure,” which you can get a sneak peek of below: The Box One of our “brochures” takes on the box-invite form. Check it out: The Invite Our other “brochure” takes on the classic invitation-look. After all, who wouldn’t want to be invited to the entertainment experience of a lifetime?

After producing events all week, it makes perfect sense that we’re inclined to attend one. This past weekend, members of Team NYX went to the Mermaids of Alcatraz Tour that featured Train with Michael Franti and Spearhead at Jiffy Lube Live. While we thoroughly enjoyed the concert from start to finish, Michael Franti’s performance quickly became our personal favorite. His stage presence, unique talent and musical prowess created a sort of love-at-first-song connection among our team that we haven’t been […]

Everyone has his or her own definition of success. For some, success means earning money, buying a big house or maybe a fancy car. Perhaps for others, success is levitating to a higher social standing or winning an award. For our team at NYX, success is nearly impossible to define as a single item or ideal. Instead, we’ve created our own definition by drawing from approximately eight components, as outlined by Richard St. John’s Ted Talk, “Eight Secrets of Success.” […]

Three struggles we faced, and overcame on our journey to Hollywood fame. About two months ago, we were sitting poolside at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, when President and CEO, Howard Teger’s, cell phone rang. Ten minutes later, NYX Entertainment & Events had accepted the challenge to fully produce an event in three weeks on the West Coast. Challenge 1: Time is of the Essence Typically, we have about nine months lead-time to produce an event. During […]
