Celebration Entertainment started as a NYC DJ company, and it is still the heart of what we do. A good DJ does more than play songs. He knows when to bring the couple in, when to start the hora, when to slow it down for the parents and when to fill the floor, and he tells the room what is happening with the microphone so nobody misses a moment.
We work like a party planner and a DJ in one. Before the event we sit with you and plan the timeline, the entrance songs, the first dance and the special moments. On the night, the same DJ runs it all with our own Pioneer gear, JBL and RCF speakers and lighting. And if you want the full bundle, we add dancers, a saxophonist or percussionist, a photographer and a videographer, so one team covers everything.

How the packages work. Each package covers the hours of music listed, with setup before the guests arrive and breakdown after, included. Extra hours are $295 each and can be added on the night. Prices include delivery and setup in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens; everywhere else adds a travel fee by distance. A 50% deposit reserves your date, and the balance is due 14 days before the event by Zelle, check or cash.
Build the full bundle. Add a saxophonist or a percussionist to play with the DJ, belly dancers or a special dance show, a photographer and a videographer with an album and an online gallery, a photo booth or a monogram with your names on the wall. We quote it all together so one team runs the night.
Six things a DJ has to get right, and how we do each one.
Book early for Saturdays. Wedding Saturdays from May to October book nine to twelve months ahead, and mitzvah dates six to twelve months ahead. Parties and holiday events usually book one to three months out. If your date is close, call anyway.
Most DJs in New York City price by the event, not by the hour. From what NYC DJ companies publish for 2026, a party DJ runs about $800 to $1,500, a bar or bat mitzvah DJ and MC for 5 hours runs $2,200 to $3,500, and a wedding DJ runs $2,000 to $4,000, with the best known names over $5,000. Overtime is usually $250 to $500 an hour.
Our answers: the DJ you plan with is the DJ who plays, the MC is in every package, the hours are written on each package, extra hours are $295, the gear is our own with backups on the truck, every wedding, mitzvah and Sweet 16 gets a planning meeting, and we send a certificate of insurance to your venue.

Our own DJ nights: a packed mitzvah dance floor under moving heads, teens at the DJ booth, a bar mitzvah entrance with cold sparks and fog, the hora, a crew setting up sound and truss in a tent, and our uplight towers and DJ booth ready before the doors open.
Yaniv knew exactly what to play and when. He kept EVERYONE on the dance floor the ENTIRE night, which was our goal. Everyone from my 80 year old grandmother to 7 year old children had to be escorted off the dance floor at the end of the night. This wasn't just any wedding - it was a "dance party!!!" Yaniv made so many unique music suggestions... it really set our wedding apart from so many other cookie cutter weddings we had been to in the past.
This was the 2nd event we booked with them and we knew we felt comfortable in every aspect of the event. He is an amazing DJ but also helped us design the whole evening. The products were of the highest quality and all of the guests told us both parties were the best their kids had been to. Thank you Yani for making our family events the most fun and memorable. He has a special way of bringing dreams to come true.
They were very professional and came on time even at the last minute and our party was successful.
