Beyond 415 National Tax Summit Closing Party

June 30, 2022

★★★★★
DJ MandyMixes brought amazing music and such wonderful energy to the party! As the event planner I especially appreciate that Mandy made the entire process easy. She had a HUGE variety of music styles to choose from and all the questions she asked made it super easy to design a great event. Mandy was proactive in following up and making sure everything was ready for our event which was one less thing for me to have to remember myself. Highly recommend DJ MandyMixes for your event….I know I’m already planning mine for next year!

This was DJ MandyMixes’ 3rd year as DJ for the Oceanside Museum of Art’s Annual Halloween Event – Art After Dark. In 2020 we went virtual and DJ Mandy provided the score/soundtrack for the online fashion show and then hosted a virtual dance party after the fashion show via Zoom. Check out the original post below from the museum to see what the event was all about:

🎧 Milestone House Virtual Dance + Fundraiser

Saturday, September 19, 2020
7:00pm – 9:00pm
Via Zoom!

THE STORY BEHIND THIS EVENT: I was really sad that we couldn’t be together this year for the 5th Annual Back to (OLD) School Dance Party so I decided to create some shirts for you to buy to have a little piece of the dance party with you this year, THEN I realized we could still do a virtual dance, not as a replacement but just as a little bonus fun! AND since National Dance Day is September 19 I thought it was the perfect date. Then I was thinking, we need a little something extra since a virtual dance isn’t quite the same as being in person SO I decided to add a fundraiser element!

When I decided to add a fundraiser aspect to this dance I immediately thought of Beverly Boone of Milestone House. She has been a loyal fan of my annual dance party since the beginning and she is ALWAYS the first one on the dance floor every year, so it only made sense to support her non-profit!
