We decided to hire Dan Goldman Events at the suggestion of our wedding planner, Kim Newton, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Ricardo was fantastic! Our guests are still talking about how fun our reception was.

The Dan Goldman Events team was extremely easy to work with. Aside from sharing the songs we wanted for our processional, recessional, intro/entrance, first dance, cake cutting, etc., we were able to include a list of "must play" songs and "play if possible" songs. We included a handful of these song requests, but really wanted to leave it up to the pro Ricardo to do this thing and make it a fun evening. And the night exceeded our expectations! One guest shared that she thought the pre-ceremony playlist was very cool, so she asked Ricardo who the songs were by – and he happily shared the Spotify link. I'm so glad she asked because she passed the link along to us and I listen to it all the time! He absolutely nailed the style of music needed to keep our party going all evening.

Ricardo was both friendly and professional, and we'd recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ. We also decided to add a photo booth to our wedding a few weeks before the event and it was a huge hit. The team even created the printed photo strips to look like our wedding invitation. Other than music and the photo booth, Dan Goldman Events provided beautiful uplighting.

Dan was incredible throughout the entire wedding planning process. He had no issues with us changing dates twice due to covid and even handled a last-minute issue where he had to step in instead of one of his other DJs to make sure the event was able to go off without a hitch.
I'm probably biased because, you know, my wedding and all, but this was the best DJ'd event I've ever been to.

He was extremely responsive to requests and did a great job managing the mood the whole time. By the time the venue needed us to leave, the dancefloor was still completely full and we likely would have stayed another couple hours.

We also used some Christmas lights over the dance floor to go with our first dance and his setup on them was perfect. Absolutely zero hassle adding them on a few weeks before the event and the setup was done perfectly.

DJ Brennan Sullivan: We were extremely impressed with DJ Brennan's performance at our wedding. He is a true professional, thoughtful, attendtive and dedicated, giving 100% at our event. He expended a substantial amount of time learning about our musical tastes and the theme and impression which we wished to create at our wedding. He also asked about our guests and the kind of atmostphere which we wanted to promote. Brennan then delivered more than 100%. I have a very selective and eccentric musical taste and his ability to interweave elements of my style with popular hit songs in an almost seamless manner was truly impressive. He could "read the crowd," exceedingly well and select the precise combination of music to inspire, evoke emotion, and get the crowd to get up and dance. We had multiple guests mention that they had rarely attended a wedding where EVERYONE was on the dance floor! Brennan is such a genuinely kind person and you can tell that he really cares about you as a client and in delivering the most high quality service. I HIGHLY recommend.

Dan and his team provided bistro string lighting and portico column uplighting for our September wedding at the DAR. He was a pleasure to work with, both professional and responsive. The lighting created just the ambience we were looking for.

Samuel Seligman

Phenomenal, Perfect Day DJ Dan and his team were great to work with during our wedding planning process. He came highly recommended by our wedding planner. He provided excellent service at a great, fair price. When, at the last minute, we wanted to add a string trio to our wedding package, Dan was able to obtain an award-winning string trio with no difficulty. He live-streamed our wedding ceremony on a private YouTube channel and our remote guests told us the video and audio quality was superb. We would recommend him and his team without reservation.

Anita Bansal

DJ Dan was super easy to connect with. His online portal system was user friendly and made it fun to pick out songs we definitely wanted played at our wedding vs maybe songs. I was pretty vague with my music selection choices but we were all thrilled with the results. Everyone had a great time as DJ Dan kept the music going! Great mix of upbeat and slowed down songs! Thanks DJ Dan!

We could not have asked for a better wedding DJ. Dan was wonderful to work with, made sure all went perfectly to plan, and kept the party going all night! Almost every guest I’ve talked to raved about the music and Im certain we had at least 90% of the attendees on the dance floor at all times. Dan read the room well and put up with our horrible scream singing 😊

Christine Archuleta

Used them for our 500+ person medical school formal and the DJ was a total hit! Had everyone on the dancefloor and played exactly what people wanted to hear. Would highly recommend! Also extremely responsive, professional, and helpful.

Dani Brand Nespoli

Can't thank DJ Dan enough for his incredible performance at our wedding last weekend. Our biggest concern for the wedding was that we wanted everyone to be on the dance floor. Dan certainly helped us achieve that. There were too many people on the dance floor which was truly a dream. He played such a phenomenal mix of songs and really read the crowd. Not to mention, he was extremely professional and responsive the year before the wedding. He make great suggestions and kept us very calm throughout the process. Our wedding was absolutely the best day of our lives and so much of that is thanks to Dan and the memories we have on the dance floor. Thank you so much, Dan! All the best, Dani & John

Will Evans

Through Dan Goldman Events we worked with Brennan Sullivan as our DJ for our wedding, and the experience was everything we could have asked for and more! Starting with the planning stage, he worked closely with us to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted for the ceremony, music, and dances, down to the details. When we were stuck on ideas or needed inspiration he was there to help us think through options - such a help! All of this definitely put our mind at ease going into the day.

On the day of, everything went smoothly. After all the 'events' were finished and it came to the dancing, the music was spot on. We gave him latitude with what he played (which we would recommend) and he knew how to play to the crowd perfectly. We danced all evening and afterwards were told by so many guests that the music was fantastic. We 100% recommend Brennan to anybody else who wants to have a great time with great music!

Sara Gable

We had a great experience with Jon! He listened to our preferred music for our wedding, was very professional, and was flexible. He went out of his way to help set up streaming services for my sister who was attending via zoom. We would highly recommend Jon and can’t thank him enough!
