We Party Hard!
Embedded within our motto is the essence of our mission. "Hard" defines the way we approach everything regarding MAZ. As we endeavor to provide quality and innovative entertainment for an ever-expanding demographic of young professionals, HARD work is inevitable. The reward far exceeds fiscal compenstation and is embodied in the faces of our patrons as they proclaim, "We had a great time!" Our History
MAZ Entertainment was conceptualized in the minds of three avid Charlotte socialites (Michael Paul, Anthony McPherson, and Zam Ladson) during the summer of 2006. Our affinity for the local nightlife was the inspiration and accelerant for the formation of the company.
Driven by a desire to offer young professionals quality entertainment infused with our personal hospitality and enthusiasm, the name MAZ was selected to brand our group. Eventually, the acronym M -A -Z (Michael Anthony Zam) would become more recognizable than the names of its founders.
After more than a year of researching and strategizing the vision finally materialized in late summer 2007. Since its inception, MAZ has become one of the leading sources for innovative nightlife entertainment in the Charlotte region. We have been privileged to host numerous events for our discriminating clientele in the most lavish venues that the Queen City offers. (ie Bank of America Founders Hall, The Ritz Carlton's Urban Garden, Belk Theater @ Blumenthal, The Westin Hotel, Maggiano's, Phoenix, Ruth's Chris, Blue Restaurant and Bar, and many more)
As our name continued to gain recognition and acclaim, MAZ experienced exponential growth and began to attract capacity crowds during the vast majority of our events. Personal attendance records were shattered repeatedly and our organization has since employed more staff to accommodate the rapid growth. The reputation of the company with our patrons, our staff, and the host venues, has been and remains the primary concern of the MAZ partnership.

Dress Code
As trends change so does our dress code. However, please refrain from excessively baggy clothing or athletic wear. MAZ reserves the right to deny entry for ANY reason."I'm bringing Vegas to Charlotte." Those were Paradime's words when asked what he's planning for the Finale'... and WE BELIEVE HIM! We dare you to go ANYWHERE in this region where DJ Paradime hasn't left carnage behind. He has QUICKLY become a crowd favorite with the MAZ family and there is no secret why. His desire to please ALL event attendees drives his diverse musical score. By the time he's done creatively mixing songs together that you wouldn't have thought of, your feet will be aching but unable to stop moving. Ladies and Gentlemen.... DJ Paradime!!!
Sunday 5/27/12
Summer is almost officially here and MAZ plans to welcome her by pulling out every trick we can think of. We've rented one of Charlotte's largest and sturdiest venues in case THOUSANDS of crazed summer fans decide they want to participate in the MAYHEM!
We've nicknamed this event "The Glow Party" because everywhere you look someone will be waving a glowstick, wearing glow shades, or sporting glow-in-the-dark body paint. We are setting the stage for everyone to come from behind the curtain and act like they've lost their natural minds!
THREE DJs will ensure you hear EVERYTHING you need to hear to keep your feet from being still. There is only ONE way for you to really understand what's about to take place.... BE THERE!!!
Last but not least...MAZ's very own Michael Paul is turning 30 but he plans to act like he's 3! Those of you who have even casually met him KNOW that Mike is the undisputed King of "Ignance" when it comes to partyin' and having a good time. MAZ needs you to help us go ALL OUT as we celebrate this milestone in our ninja's life...

Memorial Weekend
The Venue
Maggiano's is not only luxurious, but it's big and sturdy enough to host the MAYHEM of this event. SouthPark Mall will NEVER be the same!It takes a VERY special DJ to seamlessly blend EVERY genre of music together and leave ANY crowd begging and pleading for more! DJ Flash is THAT guy! It would be stupid to try and list all of his accolades on this site but his unusual abilities have garnered him acclaim and afforded him the opportunity to spin all over the world! He is an INTERNATIONAL phenomenon. Simply stated, HE ROCKS PARTIES EVERYWHERE! Here's what some other great DJs have said about Flash:
"Flash is one of my biggest influences. He is one of the dopest, technical wise, and he knows how to ROCK a party! If he's not legit you can kick me in the balls!"
- DJ Paradime
DJ Flash is one of the illest DJs in NC!"
- DJ Pyro
On the turntables DJ Flash may have the quickest hands south of the Mason-Dixon Line like YAK!"
- DJ Dexter Dynamite
