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.

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!

Ricky was great! So much fun and he really understood our music preferences. My husband and I have very different music tastes (think 80s rock and early 2000s pop) and Ricky had a great way of mixing the tunes and making sure there was also something to run to the dancefloor for. Our guests had a great time. Ricky was also great at planning the event, listening to us, and explaining his process. Full confidence in him and the team at Dan Goldman!
