Same team.
Same packed floor.
State College is where Mint started and where we play most. From the Nittany Lion Inn to farm weddings out in Penns Valley, we know how each room sounds, where the floor fills first, and how to keep it full until the last song.
Every Happy Valley celebration gets one DJ who plans with you, hosts the room, and mixes the music live. Ceremony sound, lighting design, and the Lyric Social Booth are all available when the night calls for them.

What our couples say.
“a true artist who happens to play weddings”
“Dylan is a true artist who happens to play weddings, not just a guy with a playlist. The transitions were flawless, and the way they layered live-remixed tracks throughout the night made the entire experience feel bespoke and elevated. Our guests, many of whom are total music snobs, haven't stopped talking about how incredible the set was.”
“hands down the best wedding DJ we’ve ever experienced”
“AJ was hands down the best wedding DJ we've ever experienced. If you're looking to party and have your guests on their feet all night, ask for AJ. He honored our requests and added his own personal touch that perfectly matched the mood and vibe we were looking for.”
“our guests never left the dance floor”
“We hired Mint for our wedding and reception and couldn't be happier about our decision. They were responsive to our questions and helped us design playlists for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner hour. Once the dancing started, our guests never left the dance floor. People are still talking about how much fun they had.”
“Our dance floor was always bumping”
“Hiring Mint DJ Events for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Our dance floor was always bumping. After the wedding, we received so many comments from family and friends about how fun the music was and how it reminded them of being at the Gaff, which was our goal.”
“on the dance floor all night until the very last song”
“Jay Bonax was our DJ for our reception post elopement. We wanted a laid back party with good music and that's exactly what we got. People were on the dance floor all night until the very last song.”
“kept it lively the entire night”
“When the owner of our venue recommended Mint DJ for our wedding, we researched and decided very quickly that Mint was the best fit for us. He did an amazing job reading our crowd and kept it lively the entire night. He knew we had met at PSU and created a very special moment on the dance floor: Zombie Nation, and our friends and family went wild with the We Are Penn State chant.”
“had everything set up perfectly”
“Very organized, had everything set up perfectly, and met with us multiple times via Zoom to have all the details nailed down. Everything was set up correctly for the ceremony, with the officiant mic'd up and a microphone ready for readings. Multiple guests approached us to tell us how great the DJ was.”
“kept everyone dancing all night long”
“AJ was our DJ and he was amazing. Very accommodating to all of our last minute changes due to weather. He kept everyone dancing all night long and made the reception a blast.”
“We asked for a club vibe and they definitely delivered”
“We asked for a club vibe and they definitely delivered. Our DJ was super professional and nice.”
“Extremely organized from start to finish”
“Extremely organized from start to finish, with a very easy system for sharing music preferences, timeline opinions, and everything else about the ceremony and reception. We met virtually with AJ twice in the month before our wedding. The music he played all day was exactly the mix of genres we were looking for.”
“kept the dance floor packed the entire evening”
“Having Mint DJ Events as our DJ made our reception. AJ was wonderful to work with and kept the dance floor packed the entire evening. The online tools Mint provides let us share our likes and dislikes and jumpstarted the conversation about how we wanted the reception to feel.”
“exactly what we were looking for”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience using Mint. We had AJ as our DJ for the wedding and he was exactly what we were looking for. Easy to work with, and he made a great evening for everyone involved.”
Real talk / FAQ
Do you DJ Penn State weddings?
Constantly. Penn State is our roots. We have played the Nittany Lion Inn, the Penn Stater, the Arboretum, and the Mount Nittany Club at Beaver Stadium, and we know which moments a Penn State crowd is waiting for.
How does planning work?
Your must-plays, do-not-plays, and timeline live in our online planner, and your DJ meets with you before anything is locked in. Being local means site visits are easy when a room calls for one.
What does a Mint wedding DJ cost?
Wedding packages start at $2,295 for a Simply Mint reception, and $2,595 with ceremony sound. Signature DJs, uplighting, a custom monogram, and the Lyric Social Booth are priced on top. Tell us your date, venue, and what you have in mind and we’ll send a detailed quote for your DJ and the services you choose.
What if a guest requests a song that kills the vibe?
Your do-not-play list is the law. We take every request with a smile, and if a song is on your list or would empty the floor, it stays in the pocket. Reading the room means knowing when the answer is a polite no.
Where does Mint DJ & Event Group perform?
We are based in Happy Valley and regularly DJ weddings and events in State College, Williamsport, Johnstown, Altoona, and across Central Pennsylvania, plus destination celebrations when the night calls for it.
Do you only DJ weddings?
Weddings are a specialty, but we also produce Penn State nightlife, college events, corporate conferences, teen dances, and social parties. The same team that packs club floors brings that energy to receptions.
