NYX Entertainment & Events

NYX Entertainment is a must for your wedding! I’ve known and personally worked with Howie Teger on weddings and events in DC for over ten years. He is the consummate professional from the first phone call to the last dance of the evening. As a wedding planner for others, I had a specific vision for my our wedding day. Howie (NYX) handled the ceremony sound, lighting for the entire event and music for cocktails and dinner. Howie talked my husband and I through the entire timeline for the evening and was flexible with our requests. Toasts were not planned but when my sister asked to speak, Howie handled it seamlessly. Most importantly the dancefloor was packed and my guests had a great time. Everyone said it was the best wedding that they had ever been to and Howie was instrumental in making it a night to remember. Thank you Howie and NYX Entertainment for making my wedding night so amazing! ~ Meredith

Howie at NXY came highly recommended to us. We were immediately impressed by how comforting and confident he was that he could create the party atmosphere we wanted at our wedding. He worked with us to make sure all of our favorite songs were played and that the event stayed up-​tempo and on schedule. Not an easy task. NXY and Howie also did our lights, AV and photo-​booth. All get rave reviews. Most importantly, my wedding was a blast! All our loved ones had a great time. He really worked with us, the venue and the crowd to make sure things stayed fun and the dance floor stayed packed. Thanks Howie!

This is my second review of NYX Entertainment in the last 2 years. We just used EMCEE Chrome and the party rocked! Howie was the DJ (lucky us!) and everybody danced all night. I was amazed and how engaged they kept both the kids and adults. Chrome knocked it out of the house with his amazing dance moves and his charisma. Howie rocked the music all night long. When the last song came on, everyone sighed as they did not want the night to end. The ended up playing one more song because guests were so disappointed it was over. And what can I say about the dancers! They were awesome. All four of them taught the adults dance moves so they could keep up with the kids. I could not have asked for a better EMCEE /​DJ /​or Dancers. Thank you NYX Entertainment for the best event ever!

We saw NYX Live at a friend’s wedding and were so impressed we used them for our own, and they exceeded our expectations! We did the 4 band member/​DJ combo, which gives you the best of both worlds. You get to hear the songs mostly as you are used to hearing them (rather than a band’s cover) but you get live musicians playing with the music and a band leader to engage the crowd. They also plan out the whole timeline of the reception (which you can then send to your photographer, venue coordinator, etc, making everyone’s lives easier), with breaks between dancing for the food, creating one big long party. They were truly awesome — our dance floor was packed the entire time! I cannot overstate how much fun we all had! They also provided our ceremony music which simplified things so much, as well as bringing awesome uplighting to add to the venue’s décor. They also use a website where you can put in your song preferences and other important information for the reception, which is a helpful feature. Howie was great to work with — just trust him with his ideas and suggestions and you’ll have a fabulous party like we did. Couldn’t be happier with NYX!

NYX was the best! They handled all the entertainment for our wedding. Affordable, full service, latest technology, and of course the inimitable Howie Teger. We didn’t have a «band budget» and we also wanted the flexibility to play all types of music that you get from a DJ, but having just a DJ seemed a little flat. Howie suggested his unique «Fusion» concept and it was amazing! Yew, we had a DJ, but we also had an MC and two live musicians. The musicians jammed with the tunes spun by the DJ giving the event an incredible energy — and the MC (Chris) was off the charts. From the first song to the last, the dance floor was packed. And I just don’t mean my friends — EVERYONE was dancing.
Chris also handled all of the announcements, kept all the toasts and other events on track, knew when to speed it up, or slow it down, and when to be a little quiet so folks could mingle. We also had some special requests — my aunt and uncle sang during the ceremony and NYX provided the equipment for them as well as some nice background music during cocktails. Finally, we decided to add a photo booth for fun at the last minute — also provided by NYX. I didn’t think most people would use it, but NYX gives you all of the photos from the entire night (and of course your guests get ones to take). What a riot to see almost every guest did a picture in funny hats and glasses! The whole thing was about ½ the price of a band from another agency we interviewed.

There are no words to express our gratitude for everything you did to make this weekend so amazing. We were completely blown away by everything. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me to say that Howie was the best DJ they’d ever seen. And people LOVED the dancers!!! The whole thing was perfect. Sharone completely out-​did himself with the décor. I could go on and on. Lawrence wanted me to make sure you, Howie, and Sharone know that we would be more than happy to serve as a glowing reference for all of you. Please feel free to let potential clients reach out to us.
Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. You are the best!!!

The entire team of MC Chris and DJ Leko plus the 2 awesome dancers were fabulous!!! We loved every minute!

Michael and I had our destination wedding in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Howie went above and beyond helping us plan and coordinate every detail of our wedding day. He was able to deliver every promise he made to make our wedding as perfect as possible. When our day of coordinator in Puerto Rico failed to prepare for the worst case scenarios, Howie did not miss a beat in picking up the pieces. We had an outdoor wedding and Howie was the only person to prepare for rain. When it began to rain during our ceremony, he saved the day with an umbrella that he let us keep as a sweet memento. We have nothing but positive compliments about Howie’s professionalism and high energy. Michael and I are convinced that Howie made a world of a difference in ensuring that our wedding was the wedding of a lifetime!

NYX provided the entertainment for my son’s bar mitzvah. and entertain they did! MC Russell rocked our party. Our dance floor was packed the entire night with guests of all ages. The music was great, the dancers were awesome, Russell was amazing and the service from NYX couldn’t have been better. I put my total trust in NYX to deliver a fun party and they far exceeded my expectations! They delivered a party that our guests are still raving about!

On our wedding day and over the days that followed, my wife and I received an overwhelming number of glowing compliments on the music, entertainment, and other touches that were thought up by the creative and engaging people of NYX. They made our wedding more fun than I could have imagined, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!
What Howie, DJ Johnny Mel, and the rest of Howie’s talented and friendly entertainers bring to the table is a totally unforgettable guest-​centric experience. I was impressed at how much his planning centered around making sure the guests were happy, comfortable, and having the time of their lives. He was full of unique and brilliant suggestions. Not to say that he didn’t focus on our wants or needs — quite the opposite. He frequently took our ideas and make them even better. Trust in Howie — you’ll be glad you did!
The end result was the perfect blend of eating, dancing, and entertainment for people of all ages. My mom had never danced before, but she was having such a good time that she eventually overcame her nervousness and actually danced with me and my dad!
I feel lucky and grateful that NYX Entertainment was available to make my wedding so memorable. I now understand why they’ve won so many awards for providing the best entertainment in the DC /​Maryland /​Virginia area — based on the genuine feedback we’ve received, they deserve it!

Howie, Sandra, and their team did an amazing job at our wedding. Sandra was very responsive along the way with suggestions, questions, follow up with our other vendors, etc. She also had great suggestions for vendors, and we ended up using the florist she recommended. They had excellent suggestions for our play list and were really committed to keeping everyone dancing and enjoying the wedding. They were also honest about what was less likely to work (such as my husband’s list of 20-​some headband songs). Yet they were also sure to incorporate the aspects that were important to us.
When things got off schedule due to key family members’ late arrival, Sandra and Howie were able to improvise in order to keep the flow and still fit in the important elements. Howie really got the audience involved and during the garter toss had us all at the edges of our seats. I would highly recommend Sandra, Howie, and their team at NYX Entertainment.

Howie DJ’ed my wedding and he was amazing. Highly recommend.
