Our DJ, MC, percussionist, and horn player brought amazing energy to the reception. The music was perfect, the dance floor stayed packed, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We even extended the reception by an hour, and the DJ kept the party going until the very end. We couldn’t have asked for a better entertainment team!
NYX came through for me in every way. I would highly recommend them for any event.
From start to finish, NYX Entertainment was phenomenal. They provided the MC, DJ, party dancers, and a photo booth with attendant for our daughter Delilah’s Sneaker-themed Bat Mitzvah, and the entire production completely exceeded our expectations.
MC CRōME was outstanding, charismatic, engaging, and incredibly skilled at reading the room. He kept the energy high all night long, seamlessly moving the crowd and making sure the dance floor stayed packed. Delilah barely left the floor the entire night and truly had the time of her life, which is exactly what every parent hopes for.
The DJ, dancers, and photo booth team were equally impressive. The flow, music, lighting, and overall vibe had guests constantly coming up to us saying how blown away they were by the production. It felt polished, high-energy, and perfectly tailored to our theme and crowd.
Thank you, NYX Entertainment, for helping us create such a memorable and joyful celebration for Delilah. While we may be done with mitzvahs, we already know that in 10–15 years, you’ll be our first call for wedding entertainment. That’s how confident we are in this team.
If you’re looking for an entertainment company that truly delivers…NYX is it.
There were a lot of moving parts for our unconventional grand arrival to the ceremony by boat, so we had a longer processional than most- and the NYX team coordinated the ceremony music timing perfectly to where it was a flawless production.
Everyone loved the DJ, he kept the crowd engaged and dancing. Special effects throughout were so fun, as were the surprise glow sticks. And the Photo Booth was also such a fun touch!
Loved that Kitty was able to sit back and relax on her big day, thanks to the NYX team. I’d recommend Howie and his team for any special event!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle a crowd with mixed age groups?
This is our specialty. Our MCs and bar mitzvah DJs are highly trained to read the room and bridge the age gap. We play music that resonates with the teens while weaving in classics that keep the adults and grandparents engaged, ensuring everyone has a great time.
Do you play clean versions of popular songs?
Absolutely. We strictly use radio-edit clean versions of all modern hits. You get the energy of the original tracks with family-friendly execution.
Can you coordinate traditional elements (hora, blessings, candle lighting)?
Yes. Managing the hora, motzi, blessings, and candle lighting is deeply ingrained in our process. We ensure these milestone moments of the bar or bat mitzvah are highlighted with the perfect music and respectful timing.
What makes NYX a specialist in bat mitzvah entertainment?
Since 1989, NYX has been trusted by thousands of families to reinvent how they celebrate simchas. We’re a premier team that brings large-scale production experience to your family’s milestone celebration, offering the perfect balance of fun and sophistication.
Do you offer packages that include decor and production for mitzvahs?
What does a mitzvah MC do?
A mitzvah MC is the host of the celebration. Working side by side with your DJ, the MC leads games, introduces the hora and candle lighting, invites the adults onto the dance floor, and facilitates the flow of events your planner sets. NYX MCs learn your teen’s personality before the event, so every moment feels personal.
How far in advance should we book our bar or bat mitzvah DJ?
Start two to three years out if you can. Our emcees and DJs are in high demand, and popular spring and fall dates fill up fast. Many families reach out as soon as they have a date, even before their venue is set.
Do we need both a DJ and an MC for a mitzvah?
For most mitzvah parties, yes. Your DJ reads the room and keeps the dance floor packed, while your Emcee facilitates the flow of events, from grand entrances and the hora to dance games. Your Emcee also takes the time to learn your teen’s personality, so the night feels like theirs.
Do you offer dance motivators and games for the kids?
Yes. Our party dancers and Emcee keep kids engaged with dance games and contests that feel fun and natural, while your DJ keeps the music moving. We tailor every activity to your guest mix, so every kid, including the more reserved ones, finds a way onto the dance floor.
Can you match our party theme?
Absolutely. From a beach party to boots and bling, we carry your theme through lighting in your colors, custom centerpieces, lounge furniture and a Custom Photo Moment designed around it. Your DJ and Emcee then bring the theme to the dance floor with music and moments that fit.
