NYC DJ’S

Danny is such a pro!
We had a band for our wedding, but needed someone to set up sound for the ceremony and reception and DJ when the band wasn’t playing.
It was VERY important to me to not have «stock» wedding music. Danny delivered on all my random song requests from Ambrosia to salsa! He kept the mood just right at dinner and kept the crazy dance party going when the band stopped.
He perfectly handled the sound set up in our very tricky indoor/​outdoor venue that had all sorts of sound ordinances, AND he took great video footage of our ceremony and reception! Yes, he does that too.
He’s the man.

Danny was absolutely fantastic. My husband and I did’t want the standard wedding music played at our wedding and Danny’s extensive music library allowed us to play all of our favourite deep house tunes :). We definitely recommend Danny for your wedding or special event! He’s incredibly knowledgable and an all around nice guy. Thanks again, Danny!!! :)

My husband & I probably spent the most time trying to find a DJ compared to all the other vendors for our wedding. We’ve been to a few events & weddings with a live DJ & we knew that the entertainment could either make or break a party so we wanted to spend extra time to vet through everyone carefully.
We first met Danny at the food tasting at Brookside in Pasadena. He is one of the DJs that Brookside works with frequently. He played a good variety of oldies (but goodies) & trendy/​upbeat songs. I was dancing in my seat the whole time I was eating. We decided from there to consider him in our DJ search. Our paths crossed again a few weeks later as he was DJ-​ing the Wedding Show Weekend event at Brookside. He kept the beats going there as well & also played some fun games to keep the crowd entertained.
We talked to him on the phone once & emailed a few times to curate the perfect package that fulfilled all our requirements & was within our budget. Danny was very easy to work with, quick to respond, & attentive to our needs.
I had a LOT of questions regarding logistics with set-​up but Danny was very patient. He also made some good suggestions for our reception timeline to make for a better flow entertainment wise.
We incorporated a ‘Song Request’ on our RSVPs so we compiled those songs & a few other favorites into a playlist for Danny. He played ALL of the songs on that list & a few more picks of his own that were within the same genre! A few times he also jumped on the dance floor to do the ‘Wobble’ and the ‘ChaCha Slide’ dance with our guests (old & young). I highly recommend him as an emcee as well because he does a good job of getting the guests involved.

All of our guests raved about the DJ. He even got the seal of approval from one of my bridesmaids, who danced all night. That means a lot considering she’s a dancer/​dance instructor. We loved all of the vendors we chose and Danny worked very well with each and every one of them too. He is very personable, enthusiastic, & overall just a fun personality.
From one bride & satisfied customer to another, Danny gets the job done right & keeps your guests dancing. Consider him and his team for your wedding/​event/​party!

DJ DANNY FARRELL… what can I say, this guy was SO great, he deserves extra stars especially for dealing with me while I was wedding planning. NYC DJ’s was actually the first wedding vendor that we had booked, even before our wedding venue. We saw his work and knew that he would be a great fit with us! He’s natural, funny, not at all a cheeseball and had great communication. He also helped me book some live classical musicians for our cocktail hour and provided us with a projector. I am a very particular person and made a long list of must play songs and the transitions of all the songs, the wedding formalities was just flawless. Everyone loved our music and DJ Danny. It was really easy communicating with Danny for the 10 months to the wedding day. The day of, was just better than I could have asked for… Danny would come to us in terms of timing and asking us when we wanted to do certain things… we had a timeline that he had helped us come up with during a meeting a couple weeks before the wedding and all was executed as planned. It was really nice that he kept us in the loop for things and was able to roll with anything… if we needed another 5 – 10 minutes at any time, he was able to keep the music going. The light work they did was also awesome as well. My husband wanted the dance floor to turn into a club scene and it definitely set the vibe for a night of dancing. The up lights helped enhance the ballroom and it was nice that he had the light colors change as we progressed through the night. So happy with our choice to have Danny as our DJ/​MC. Can’t wait to have you at our next party!

I can’t say enough good things about our DJ, Danny! He was AMAZING. When we started planning our wedding, my husband and I talked about the things that were the most important to us: the music and flowers (me, not him) :) We wanted our wedding to be a huge dance party with all of our friends and family so finding a great DJ was our biggest priority. We got Danny’s information from our venue, and he came highly recommended.
Danny was great in the planning process as well. He was extremely prompt in responding to emails, and he gave us a detailed online checklist of songs to choose for certain parts of the reception. When we met with Danny, we told him our general ideas for the night and gave him some songs we wanted to have played, but that was pretty much it. We’ve been to some weddings where the couple basically gave the DJ a playlist: we didn’t do that because he’s the expert and we wanted him to be creative and have fun with it. We totally trusted him. We told him that we just wanted it to be a huge, fun dance party.
Well, let me just say, he did not disappoint! The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night! His song selection was spot on and he read the crowd and the energy in the room perfectly. I’m still getting compliments on how great our DJ was! In fact, at the beginning of our reception, one of my friends ran up to me and said, «Danny was our DJ at our wedding too!» I went to their wedding and it was ridiculously fun: I was on the dance floor the whole night!
If you’re looking for an awesome DJ, book Danny! You will be so happy you did!

I hired Danny from watching his example videos from his website. I was a little apprehensive because I’m a control freak and normally like to meet my vendors before hiring them. Since I didn’t live in LA I didn’t get that chance. His website displayed his talents and packages better than any other company I’ve seen. I took a chance and I’m so thankful I did!
We did a lot of back and forth discussion months leading up to my wedding and he was the utmost helpful and prompt. He responded to all my emails quickly and also gave me suggestions to enhance the experience and I never felt pressured.
All and all, the execution of my musical dream wedding was perfection! Danny made my wedding!!! Not kidding!
From the perfect flow of the ceremony and onto the cocktail hour… our reception was a non stop dance party: exactly what I asked for. All my guests commented on the LED lighting, our amazing DJ, and the back to back dance songs that made my wedding an unforgettable party!
Danny is amazing! I will be using NYC-​DJs for all my future events and will be recommending him to all my LA friends!

It was my husband’s job to pick the DJ for the wedding and he couldn’t have done a better job by choosing DJ Danny at NYC DJ’s. The whole process was easy, Danny is extremely personable and a great DJ, and he also had so many additional services that really made his company a one stop shop for our wedding.
PRO:
1. Danny has a great personality which helps in keeping you calm throughout the planning process as well as setting a fun environment the day of your wedding. I loved that he was also our MC. He made sure everything went smoothly and wasn’t overpowering/​wanted all the spot light on him (like other DJ/MC’s I’ve seen at some other weddings)
2. He has a music database online that allows you to hand pick your favorite (or do not play) songs.
3. What was extremely helpful to us was the «top picked» songs other clients of his chose for certain parts of the ceremony/​reception. (i.e. garter dance song, father/​daughter dance song, processional song). This was a great guide to us the last couple weeks when we were selecting songs for the ceremony and reception. When you look online a lot of the songs are older and we felt not appropriate for the vibe we were going for, Danny’s list is much more current and fun.
4. He not only provides the music but can also add so much more to the ambiance of your wedding. We created a custom package with mood lighting, our name in lights, light designs, and he also makes photo montages for your slideshow! We honestly shopped around a lot for these mood lights bc it truly can transform any space but can be costly, his was by far the best deal in the area for the service. He also provided the sound system for our ceremony and music for our cocktail hour as well.
5. Danny was really easy to reach by cell phone/​email. We had a wedding planner who is really keen on details, but Danny even noticed a mistake she had made on the wrong recessional song and double checked with us and our wedding planner. This really shows he goes above and beyond.
6. We didn’t want a lot of 80’s music and wanted to focus on top 40’s and then EDM towards the end of the night for our friends who really respond to that type of music. Danny delivered and our friends were really impressed with his knowledge of this genre.
7. Throughout the wedding I could easily go up to him and ask him to change the color of the lights a little bit or to make the music louder just a tad and he would do it right on the spot.
8. Everything went without a hitch. I didn’t notice any silence, screeching mic sound checks, or awkward transitions throughout the whole night. He is a professional.
CON:
1. Since I’m not planning on ever remarrying, I won’t be able to use Dj Danny again at my wedding! Perhaps a vow renewal? or I’ll just refer him to my engaged friends so I can experience his Dj skills again soon :)
Thank you so much Danny and your staff on making our special day so memorable and FUN! Will send you pictures once I receive them!

NYC Djs and DJ Danny were recommended to me by a friend of a friend, and I could not be happier that I went with her recommendation. We met DJ Danny about a year before our wedding, and he seemed really down to earth and smart. We liked that he said the most important thing to him is to read the crowd, and give them what they want. We’re pretty easy going when it comes to music, and didn’t have too many crazy requests during the reception. So even though it wasn’t too hard, DJ Danny did a great job!
The ceremony, on the other hand, was a lot of extra work for Danny, and he knocked it out of the park! We had very specific music cues, and a lot of unusual songs for our ceremony, and Danny never missed one of them. He was right on with the music the whole time. He also set up a microphone for our readers, and we asked him if he could record our vows (as we did not have a videographer). He said he would have no problem recording them for us.
After the ceremony was over, he had a brilliant idea! He told us that the vows had come out so well on the recording, he’d like to play them back during our first dance. (We were dancing to an instrumental song). He asked if that was ok, and my husband and I said «ok, sure, give it a try»… Well, that was the HIT of the party! I literally had people come up to me and say «I didn’t cry during your ceremony, but when he played back pieces of your vows during your dance, I was bawling.» So many people said it was an awesome idea, and wanted to know how we ever thought of it! I did not hesitate to tell them, «It was our DJ’s idea. He’s amazing»
After that, he kept the party going ALL NIGHT! He did trivia for us during dinner to keep the guests entertained while they waited for the buffet. I know it sounds cheesy, but with Danny it was anything but! The guests got really into it, with some of the tables helping others who didn’t know. After dinner, Danny helped teach our guests some line dances they didn’t know, played some Polkas for the older folks (Family tradition), and generally did whatever he had to to keep the guests out on the floor having fun.
When I guest requested a song I had put on the do not play list, he didn’t play it. He was really good about keeping with the ideas/​feels we gave him for the night, and still keeping the guests happy. I really like the balance of songs he played throughout the night too.
On the planning side, DJ Danny was super easy, helpful, and fun to deal with. I always got a response from him when I emailed or called. He was straightforward, did not charge us any hidden fees, and was very professional with all his communication. He showed up on time, he looked nice (not sloppy), and seemed genuinely excited to be a part of our wedding.
I cannot recommend him enough! Can’t tell you how much I loved having him at the wedding, and how fun he made it! He is absolutely worth your time and money. Hire him!

NYC DJs came highly recommended by our wedding venue and we are so glad we used Danny for our wedding!!!
He is great at engaging the crowd and picking up on the right songs to play at the right time. He is super easy to work with and thorough… he has a detailed form on his website that is great at reminding you all of the details you need to provide him with, plus you can access his music library on the website too.
He was also great with accommodating some very specific requests from us (no being lifted during the Hora) and was a great emcee for our entire evening. Would highly recommend NYC DJs.

We hired DJ Danny of NYC DJ’s for our wedding in April 2015. We had read good things but still didn’t know what to expect.
Well DJ Danny WOWed us with his service and sets.
He was easy to deal with, professional, and came prepared to meetings and to our actual wedding day.
He kept the dance floor going all night long. We told him we love house, hip-​hop, and 90’s throwback, and he delivered an amazing set that everyone loved.
All my friends raved about our DJ at the end of the night and into next week. (Most weddings I have been to, the DJ was hardly ever the highlight)
If you need a DJ for your next event, hire DJ Danny and your night will go off with a hitch. You will love his expertise, his unbelievable set up, and you will deal with a really great dude.
Thanks Danny for making our special day that much better. — George & Anna

Ditto with all the other reviews. We hired Danny for our wedding, and several of our guests kept telling me how great our DJ was. He is really professional, and I’m really glad we went with him. You really can’t do much better than Danny.

We loved having NYC DJ’s at our wedding. Danny was my main point of contact and made everything very easy. He communicated with my band and wedding coordinator to make sure everything was seamless so I didn’t have to deal with logistics.
Brandon was the DJ at the wedding and he kept the dance floor full all night.
I would definitely recommend them for your wedding or any event.
Awesome job!

My husband and I had Danny dj for us in our wedding last year (8.8.14), and he was.. . BEYOND GREAT. I was searching for a dj for weeks without any real direction. Luckily I eventually stumbled onto Danny on The Knot and I also checked with his reviews here and from what I could tell everybody raved about his work. So I contacted Danny and he was really helpful. My husband and I are both attending school so our weekends were the only available times. He was very flexible in scheduling meeting times with us, and really listened to our concerns. One of them being the financial aspect as we were on a tight budget and did not want to break the bank before we even start our lives together. For what we paid for he was much more than that, probably one of the best deals we made in the wedding process. Our other concern was the music content, we had guests of all ages with the majority being in their late 20s early 30s. We worried about music being appropriate and Danny met that challenge with great ease. After the wedding everyone was raving about the song selection and how they typically can’t really dance at functions because of the genres or they don’t feel comfortable dancing but that was not the issue here. Lastly most of our venders only really communicated with us during the wedding whereas Danny kept us well informed throughout the process. He even edited our first dance song, making it uniquely ours! The day of he really kept control of the scheduling which allowed for my husband and I to relax knowing things were being handled. He also commanded attention when dealing with our wedding attendants as they tended to wander without regard, in other words he really took the reigns when it came to the reception. I highly recommend him for someone working on a budget and for someone who really wants to adhere to organized planning. Look no further this is the DJ that goes above and beyond.

Hello, I am planning to hire you, i need to find a great and modern place for wedding. need to find a nice wedding venue anywhere in Los Angeles, CA. (I like nice ones). reply if you know of any venues? anybody? emai l me.

We recently had Danny DJ our wedding on August 16, 2014 and I can’t express in enough words how AMAZING he was, not only the night of our wedding, but leading up to it. He did a site check, met up again a few weeks before the big day to go over our specific requests, he was so kind and sweet while I sent him random texts of specific requests that we forgot to mention (and there were quite a few). He has great energy, a warm, fun & positive personality, he’s clean cut but still has an edge which in my opinion is the perfect balance, he was just perrrrfect. He was on time and on the big day there was not one flaw. Thank you a million times over to Danny for being who you are and offering the wonderful skill you have of hosting a night we will always remember.

DJ Danny has become our family DJ! He did an amazing job at my brother’s wedding, my cousin’s wedding, our company Christmas party, and my wedding. Needless to say, we trust Danny to host an unforgettable night of fun and nonstop dancing! Each event our family has hosted has required different music needs, but Danny always has people (young AND old) out on the dance floor the whole time loving the music selection. Our dance floor for our wedding was filled with people for the entire allotted dancing time. My fiancé even said, «Wow, I have never seen so many people out on a dance floor doing the ‘wobble’!»
Also, the form he has you fill out beforehand is so clear as far as what kind of equipment he will need and a list of songs/​artists you both love and hate. I was so confident going into the wedding that he knew exactly what we wanted, and I was so pleased when everyone commented on how much they loved the playlist.
The final thing we love about Danny is that he does a great job hosting the event without being the center of attention. He is able to keep things running smoothly without even coming onto to the dance floor, which we loved. He knows the wedding day is about the bride and groom, and he keeps the attention on them at all times. Look no further for a DJ for any event you may be having, big or small, and hire DANNY at NYC DJ’s. We will continue to do so for all of our future events. Thanks, Danny!!!

DJ Danny is the most amazing DJ EVER!!! I have had several parties that he has DJ’D over the past few years and he always gets the crowd moving! He has done dinner parties, pool parties, bar mitzvahs. birthday parties, charity events and political fundraisers. He knows the right music for any occasion! I promise he won’t let you down! The most accommodating DJ I have ever hired!
SIMPLY THE BEST!!!

Everyone says that the DJ makes or breaks your wedding and I can honestly say that Danny and NYC DJ’s have made our wedding the greatest. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, was dancing. Older family friends that we have never seen dance before were actually dancing. That is all thanks to you, Danny!
Danny is nothing short of awesome! Thanks so much for making our night a dream come true!

Danny was the perfect DJ.
My husband and I are both huge music lovers– the only issue is that we rarely agree on what music we like. NYC DJ’s arrived with an eclectic and perfect range of music. Danny made sure that the dance floor at our wedding was always occupied. People LOVED the choices he made– his mashups and transitions were perfection.
I highly and enthusiastically recommend Danny. Do not hesitate to book him. You will have a fantastic night!

We hired NYC DJ’s for 2 nights — our rehearsal dinner party and our wedding. He also did our videography and lighting.
Danny is amazing — he met with us beforehand to see what we wanted for our events. When the day came, he followed through on all of our requests — and more.
For our rehearsal party, we asked him to play nice background music, and he did — but since there was a dance floor at the venue, it seemed like our guests really wanted to dance –so he started putting on some great dance music (by great, I mean that everyone from 16 to 90 was up and dancing, and that is not an exaggeration!). By the end of the night, nearly everyone was on the dance floor. We didn’t expect such a pre-​party, but our guests could not stop talking about how much fun our party was… and the wedding hadn’t even begun yet.
He is a great MC also. He made the guests laugh and feel comfortable without being over the top. He was a great mix of subtle and fun-​inducing. One thing he and I talked about beforehand was that we wanted to keep the energy up for the reception — get people up and dancing early — not just sitting for hours listening to toasts and getting sleepy. He had everyone on the dance floor early and kept the vibe fun without exhausting the guests. So many of our friends commented to us afterward that they had never been to such a fun wedding where they all felt so included from the moment the reception began.
We are really excited to see the videography too. There were 2 camera guys who were covering everything — they even brought sliders and stedicams! Plus, Danny spent a day filming my husband and me before the wedding –We can’t wait to see the final documentary-​style video. He sent us a teaser of the video in the style of a movie trailer — we love it!
I would recommend NYC DJ’s – Danny is a true professional with a warm personality who is on top of every detail. And the team he brings with him to the events are also really friendly/​professional.
