DJ
Open-format sets, mixed live. House, hip-hop, EDM, Top 40 — blended on the fly to whatever the floor's giving us. Most regional DJs press play on a playlist. We mix.

Read the room. Run the night.
The Capital Region's modern mobile DJ. Open-format mixing with real EDM and house roots — weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Fully insured. Now booking 2026 and 2027.
What we do
Three crafts.
One coordinated night.
DJ, MC, and lighting under one creative direction. The energy doesn't drop between transitions because nobody's coordinating across three different vendors — it's all us, mixed live and timed to your run-of-show.
MC & Hosting
Calm on the mic, sharp on the timeline. We script announcements with you in advance, coordinate with photo and video, and keep the night moving without ever sounding like a hype-man.
Lighting Design
Wireless uplighting, dance-floor washes, custom monogram gobos. Color and intensity shift with the set — cocktail wash through dinner, peak energy on the dance floor.
Events we run
Built for weddings.
At home anywhere people gather.
Most of the calendar is wedding work — that's where the planning depth runs deepest. The same instinct travels: corporate galas, milestone parties, fundraisers, school dances. Read the room, run the night.
Weddings
Ceremony, cocktail hour, full reception. Multi-zone sound, custom monogram, planning portal you actually want to log into. Most of the calendar lives here.
Corporate
Holiday parties, galas, product launches, conference after-hours. Buttoned-up MC delivery, on-brand audio levels, and a dance floor that fills when the program ends.
Private Parties
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, engagements. Open-format mix tuned to the room — your taste in front, our floor-reading behind it.
School Dances
Homecoming, prom, semi-formals, after-prom. Appropriate playlists, fully insured, COI on file before tickets go on sale. Win one school, win the next two years.

About Manix
We mix live. Most don't.
Manix Entertainment runs weddings, corporate events, and private parties across the Capital Region. On paper the setup looks like every other DJ — speakers, lights, mic. The difference shows up at minute 12 of the dance floor: an open-format set blended live, house through hip-hop through Top 40, read off the floor and timed to the room.
Outside the booth, every event runs like a residency. Detailed timeline build, planning portal for must-plays and do-not-plays, multi-zone audio for ceremony through reception, full gear redundancy. Most of what shows up looking effortless took six weeks of prep.

What to expect
How we work — three promises.
Booking a DJ for an event you only get one shot at is a leap of faith. These are the commitments we make in writing, every time.
Reply within 24 hours.
Every inquiry gets a real response in a day — not an auto-reply. If we're not a fit for your date or budget, we'll say so and point you toward someone who is.
You book me, you get me.
No subbing out, no surprise faces day-of. The person you talk to in planning is the person at the booth. One creative direction, first call to last song.
Locked pricing. No day-of surprises.
Final quote is final. Capital Region travel, setup, breakdown, and planning calls are baked in. Anything you add later gets confirmed in writing first.
Common questions
The questions we get most.
Not seeing yours? Send a note — we'll walk through anything specific to your venue or timeline.
Do you only do weddings, or other events too?
Weddings are most of the calendar — but we also run corporate galas, holiday parties, milestone birthdays, fundraisers, and school dances. Same craft, scaled to whatever the event calls for. Mention the event type when you inquire and you'll get a tailored quote.
Do you travel outside the Capital Region?
Yes. Most events are across upstate New York, the Berkshires, and the Hudson Valley. Travel beyond a 60-mile radius is quoted with the package — no day-of surprises.
How does booking and the deposit work?
We hold your date with a signed contract and 30% retainer. The remaining balance splits across two milestones, with the final payment due 14 days before your event.
Can we send a do-play and do-not-play list?
Yes — the planning portal is built for it. Must-plays, do-not-plays, genre preferences, all yours to load in. We blend your input with live floor-reading so the night feels personal, not generic.
How many planning meetings do we get?
Depends on the package. Core: a custom playlist consultation plus the online planning portal. Signature: two planning calls and a final timeline build. Custom: scoped to fit — typically multiple touchpoints during build-out and a final timeline review the week before.
Do you handle the ceremony and cocktail hour too?
Yes. Signature includes multi-zone sound — separate setups for ceremony, cocktail hour, and the main room — plus a discreet lavalier for the officiant. Core is a single-space setup. Custom events are quoted around your specific run-of-show.
