DJ Brennan Sullivan is amazing, and I recommend him 100%

In short: Believe the hype. If you’re a worry-wart groom like me, trying to figure out how to get the DJ sorted, just drop Dan Goldman Events a line and ask for DJ Brennan. Your partner (and guests!) will thank you.

Where to even begin! DJ Brennan is professional, he's easy to work with, he responds to emails quickly, and he has a fantastic ear for getting tracks queued up. His MC'ing is perfect - he kept the reception moving along on time without ever once making it feel rushed. (Cannot overstate how much that impressed me in particular, we had a pretty short reception, no idea how he pulled that off!) The equipment he bought to the venue (mics, sound system, etc) worked perfectly and sounded great, and he had no problem tracking down our slightly-deep-cut song requests for the entrance and exit.

Weddings are all about vibes, and I was worried that our reception’s vibe would be tricky to capture. We had a morning travel wedding, so while half the guests would be ready to party, the other half were going to be jetlagged and wanting to drink mimosas and catch up with family and friends. To complicate things further, our venue space was indoors and pretty tight. How on earth, I worried, could any DJ possibly thread that needle? How do you calibrate the music just right, so everyone gets what they want? How can a reception be simultaneously a dance party AND a chill brunch?

Well, *I* don’t know how to pull that off. But DJ Brennan does! He absolutely nailed it. The guests who wanted a dance party got a dance party, the guests who wanted their chill big family brunch got their chill big family brunch. I had family from both sides of that equation come up to me afterwards and absolutely rave about him; his track selection, his MC’ing, everything. I have absolutely no idea how he did it, but I guess that’s why he’s a super highly rated events DJ and I am not.

Dan Goldman Events as a whole is great to work with and their prices are incredibly fair for the superb quality of service you’re getting. Shoutout to Kathleen Doyle – I was clueless about this whole process but she made it incredibly easy, and never made me feel dumb (even when I knew I was being dumb lol). Also, payment is straightforward and easy. None of the “submit a check by carrier pigeon” stuff you run into with vendors occasionally.

So to the groom-to-be reading this, who has been assigned DJ duty and is terrified of messing up, have no fear. Dan Goldman events will get you sorted.

DJ Brennan Sullivan Made The Night Unforgettable

I can't convey enough how excellent Brennan was to work with, always professional, helped keep the event moving without a hitch, and, most importantly, we spent hours on the dance floor with all of our best friends, dancing our feet off to banger after banger. Brennan understood our niche desire for the vibe and music selection and delivered even more fun than I could have ever hoped. Our guests were still talking about the music weeks later and how much fun everyone had. Thank you, Brennan, for making our special day truly unforgettable!

Incredible wedding MC/DJ Brennan Sullivan!!

We worked with DJ Brennan from Dan Goldman Events for our wedding, and he was amazing!!!!! He was able to work with us to include both common songs on Spotify as well as a custom recording to our ceremony, and everything sounded amazing. During the reception all of our guests kept coming up to us telling us how amazing the playlist was! It was so fantastic to be able to give him a few "must plays" and let him take care of the rest - our dance floor was packed from the moment the reception kicked off until it ended! Brennan also had great attention to detail - when plans changed for songs, he discretely double checked with us and went with the changes so seamlessly. He was wonderful with all of the announcements, introductions, and general flow of the day as well. We could not recommend him enough!!!

I have been in the business for a very long time - Dan is by far the best DJ/Photo rep that I have used. He is fabulous to work with from a hotel stand point and is amazing with my clients. I will continue to suggest all my upcoming weddings use his services.

I absolutely love working with Dan! He is very organized and efficient and is a great partner on the day-of to keep the timeline moving along according to schedule. He has great MC skills (very important!) as well as he does a wonderful job reading the crowd and keeping the energy up on the dance floor. I've even been lucky enough to be a guest at events where he has DJ'd and he is always a hit! He is my go-to DJ and my clients have always been super happy with him; I highly recommend him!
