Who We Are
Empower Event Group is an event entertainment and rental company based in Philadelphia, PA. Founded in 2013 by Ethan Mazer, the company has grown from a DJ-only operation into a full-service entertainment provider offering DJ and MC services, photo booth rentals, event lighting, live musicians, and party enhancements for weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, corporate events, private parties, and school events.

Every event booked through Empower Event Group is fully licensed and insured. The company intentionally limits how many events it books per date so its team can give each one full attention rather than overbooking and spreading staff thin.
