I used Expressway Music for a work event and they exceeded my expectations. We hired DJ Dave for music and to MC our Karaoke sessions. He was INCREDIBLE. He was on time, super flexible with all of our last minute changes and most importantly, he played GREAT MUSIC SELECTIONS. He's a DJ who knows his stuff. Thanks so much to DJ Dave and Expressway for making our Sales offsite party a huge hit! read more

David and his team did a fantastic job. Deeter was superb with 80 middle school kids who attended our kids bnai mitzvah. The magician / mentalist was incredible the music was pumping and played all night and our entire night was coordinated perfectly with the help of David, Deeter and our event coordinator. Really just a fantastic party that was communicated properly with staff from every part of the party. TYSVM David! read more

DJ Dave played at our daughters grad party this past Saturday night. We hired him because we had heard him at another party last summer. Both parties had folks up and dancing. It was uplifting, lively, and Dave kept it perfectly moving. He knew exactly what music to play and when. No one wanted to stop the party so we added another half hour. I recommend Dave without reservation and I would hire him again and again. read more

Thank you David for hosting our wedding--if you need a DJ for any event look no further. He helped facilitate speeches, family dances, and karaoke and did the best job!! He was even happy to stay later than our booked time to keep such a fun party going no questions asked. We're so appreciative David can't thank you enough! read more

Dave was an absolute delight to work with! He made my wedding very memorable. He is so easy to get along with and had great suggestions for different parts of our wedding. I originally chose him because my sister had him for her wedding as well --- 9 years ago! He was just as fantastic this time. Thank you Dave!! read more

David is wonderful to work with and we are so happy with how everything went at our daughter's recent Bat Mitzvah. David listened carefully to exactly what we wanted - we wanted a fun environment, a lively hora, and music that was not too loud - and he provided exactly what we asked for. He was very responsive and always got back to me in a timely manner. David brought an amazing emcee who added great energy to our party. I highly recommend David and Expressway Music! read more

First of all, I would give more than 5 stars if I could. The bottom line: not only is David a fantastic DJ, he is super easy to work with, professional, & kind. Let's be honest, planning a wedding is not easy. In fact, it's an epic organizational feat (or nightmare, depending on how you want to look at it). I was so delighted when we hired David for our wedding, as I immediately felt like I had one less thing to worry. No matter what my question was, David always replied with lightening fast speed. In fact, when I first reached out for a quote, I had a response 5 minutes later, with a picture of Dave DJ'ing at our venue. That's pretty awesome customer service! We talked to Dave about the type of music we like & what we did not want to hear, then we turned over the reigns to him. Instead of giving him a play list, we let him do his job, read the crowd, & play what he thought was best. David absolutely nailed it! He had people of all ages up & dancing! Multiple times throughout the night, our guests came up to us & asked if we had personally picked the play list. Dave really brought the cool factor! I can't say enough good things about David. His prices are fair. He loves music & what he does. You can tell that he truly cares. He is so organized. And as mentioned before, he is an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend David for any event or wedding! Do yourself a favor & hire him! read more

Expressway Music - David executing our first dance song flawlessly. - DJs Near Me - New York, New York

David is an absolutely phenomenal DJ. He worked a relief event in our neighborhood (Sunnyside) with basically only two days notice, and boy, did he deliver! The music selection was terrific, and I loved the way the selection matched evolution of the energy in the room throughout the course of the evening--DJ magic! He was also really great at handling transitions---when announcements needed to be made, he did a great job of segueing out of and back into the music. He also did a great job of handling access to and volume on the speakers mike---always a sensitive task! David will be my first choice of DJ from now on. read more

When we were looking for a DJ for our wedding we were always suspicious about vendors rated 5 out of 5 stars. But we give David 5 starts because that's what he and his company deserved. We found Expressway Music through Weddingwire and Yelp. He had decent reviews so we decided to schedule an interview with him. From our first meeting until end end of our reception, David and his team were very professional, helpful, flexible and friendly which is quite a rare combination. He asked us questions about the format of our wedding, what kind of music we like and explained us what he thinks would be the best mix of music for us. We knew that he was going to customize the playlist based on our taste but also add something from his experience which worked perfect at the end. His office staff are very professional and made sure that the administrative side of this was handled very quickly and easily. Following the first meeting, we were never pressured to make a quick decision -- they did not act like salesman -- they looked like a group of professionals who like what they do. A few weeks before the wedding, they sent us a few online questionnaires on the event details and our music preferences which we submitted and discussed with David in the final meeting. This hole process didn't take more than a few hours of our time and at each stage David and his team were very helpful and professional. David did a spectacular job at the wedding. We picked 10 must-play songs and let David choose the rest for us. He read the crowd so well and made sure the dancing did not stop all night. We are very happy with the choice we made and strongly recommend David and Expressway Music for everyone! read more

David was a perfect wedding DJ in every respect. He listened to to what we wanted and took it from there. The dance floor was packed for hours. Highlights include: 1. Unlike some DJs who wanted us to put together playlists David spoke to us about our taste in music and read the crowd and played awesome music from start to finish. 2. The music was the perfect volume. Often wedding DJs play music too loudly and ruin the atmostphere for most people. David took great care to make sure that people could talk during dinner. 3. He was incredibly professional. I can't say enough about this. During wedding planning there are a million things to worry about. Not having to worry about the music was a huge relief. 4. David set up the sound for our ceremony. Like the music for the reception, the volume was perfect and even though it was an outdoor ceremony there were no issues at all. Bottom line - If you're looking for a wedding DJ get David. He's awesome in every respect. You and your guests will have a great time. read more

Friends of mine kept coming up to me after the wedding to say how talented our DJ was. We had a very international crowd of Spanish, Hebrew, French and English speakers. Expressway music was able to read the crowd perfectly and accommodate all tastes. David seamlessly wove international music, with hip-hop and nostalgic songs. Everything was perfect. Expressway music was prompt to reply, took the time to get to know us (our style of music) and even incorporated items we had asked for months before our wedding. The DJ remembered everything! From traditional Jewish folk music to tango to classic rock, the night was joyous and I could not have been happier with our choice to hire Expressway Music. I bet we would still be dancing at this second if the venue didn't kick us out! read more

David was absolutely amazing! David met with my wife and I on multiple occasions to accommodate to the different songs we wanted throughout our wedding. Expressway music was very professional, warm, and responsive in our requests and questions. I can't think of a better DJ for our wedding! He played the best music for our crowd and was right on cue for all of our song requests! read more

Dave was the DJ at my wedding last week and he (and Expressway Music) are absolutely wonderful! They are reliable, professional, responsive, helpful and extremely talented. During our first meeting Dave asked us about our vision, took detailed notes and really listed to what we wanted. A great example of Dave's expertise in is when we had our final meeting we told him that we wanted a short first dance and asked him to cut the song short (Cant Take My Eyes Off of You by Frankie Valli & The Four Season). He suggested that we play the whole song because it's such a great song with a great chorus and people would look forward to it. We told him that we trusted his opinion (but I was still a little nervous). Understanding that we were uncomfortable being the center of attention for a long period of time he had the crowd join in singing the chorus and it was a huge hit. He then invited the rest of the guest to join us on the dance floor. It was the perfect transition without taking anything away from our first dance or the song. Multiple times during the wedding people told us how great the music was and how amazing it was that Dave was able to keep the partying going on all night (we had non-stop dancing for 4 hours). We highly recommend Dave and hope we have an opportunity to work with him again. read more

DJ Dave was the best addition to our wedding!! He kept the party going and facilitated the evening going smoothly by taking over all the MC duties. He was so kind, helpful, responsive, friendly and easy to work with from our very first call all the way to the end. He played our requested songs and everyone loved his own song selections! Most of all, you can tell he really cares about the couples he works with. I can't recommend Expressway Music highly enough! read more

We hired David for our wedding, and all we can really say is he nailed it! He met with us twice before the big day, and really took the time to get to know us and what we really wanted for our Party. We had a small wedding with a fairly diverse crowd, and our big ask was for him to get everyone to feel like they were a part of the party. He is a master at reading the room. Our guests and other vendors commented on how amazing he was. His assistant Taylor was great too! My calves are still sore from all of the dancing. I would highly recommend expressway music, in fact I would insist that you hire them. I promise that you will not regret it. read more

There are tons of great reviews for the guys at Expressway Music here, but I'm here to praise Jeanine, who KJ/DJ'd our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly organized and professional, meeting with us to understand the kind of music and vibe we wanted, sending us thorough notes to ensure she had it right, and then a few days in advance, talking through the details of the night. We provided her with a long list of karaoke and dance song requests, and while she was upfront that not every request would be accommodated in exactly the order we listed it, she did an amazing job of executing our plan while also integrating requests on the spot and responding to the mood in the room as the night went along. We wanted a mix of karaoke and dance music, and Jeanine and her colleague went back and forth between the two mediums seamlessly. She read the crowd incredibly well and knew just what to play at any given moment to keep the momentum going. I and others made special requests throughout the night, and she was totally cooperative and willing to change course, never losing her smile or cheerful demeanor. Overall, Jeanine was a delight - both in her personality and her skill at her job. I also want to give a shout-out to Charissa, who handled the business end of things. She was very professional and informative and also a pleasure to work with. Expressway Music knows its stuff, and we appreciated how well both Jeanine and Charissa worked with us to make it the night and the party we wanted. Nothing but good things to say! read more

Awesome service. Everyone was kind, helpful, all prices were reasonable, all preparations were spot on! Our DJ was David Swirsky, and let me say that my wife and I are tough critics, and David had to entertain an even tougher crowd for our wedding. My wife is Korean and I am Mexican, and the DJ had to satisfy both our families. He did a great job, he accomplished something we hadn't even heard of before: all the Korean guests got up and danced like crazy! Couldn't have been more satisfied! read more

David [and Expressway Music] were the perfect DJ for us and our wedding. David worked hands-on with us to understand not only our personal music tastes, but also the tastes of our guests. His assistant even helped me find an instrumental cover of a song that I ended up walking down the aisle to. We hired Expressway Music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and the transition of music from each space was seamless. During our reception, David really kept the energy up the whole night, and everyone had an amazing time at our wedding -- the dance floor was filled for pretty much the entire night!! He even went out of his way to help my now-husband surprise me with a singing performance (cover) of a Death Cab for Cutie song, accompanied by my cousin's boyfriend, on the acoustic guitar. It was an amazing moment that everyone is still talking about! This is a professional operation and David will work hard to ensure everyone has an amazing time celebrating at your wedding -- whatever kind of wedding you want to have. read more

We were so lucky to have Greg as our DJ for our wedding. Greg went above and beyond during the planning process to ensure that our night went perfectly. He was extremely easy to reach and happy to answer questions and accommodate to any changes. At the event, he displayed the perfect balance of MC and DJ. Our guests (and we) were blown away and no one could stop dancing. It was such a magical night and Greg's professionalism and craft of feeling the crowd/ including all of our favorite songs (and the list was long) was extremely impressive. I highly recommend expressway music, especially Greg. Thank you!!!! read more

We used Expressway Music (DJ Dan) for our wedding in Manhattan in March 2014. The entire DJ selection process went so smooth once we decided on Expressway Music. We were so impressed with the process - from meeting our DJ, signing the contract, amending the contract (to add more services), etc... everything just went so smoothly. No issues, no problems, quick, constant feedback. Charissa (admin) is also extremely helpful. We've had so many compliments afterwards expressing how great our DJ was! Thanks again DJ Dan and Expressway Music! We highly recommend! (Also attached picture of DJ Dan.) read more

Expressway music is awesome! I had Yan playing the violin during the ceremony and cocktail hour for my wedding. He is truly an amazing musician. He was so professional and nice. He really could play anything you ask him to, and made it sounds so beautiful. I even had some songs that were contemporary, and he was able to play them with his violin and make them sound so classical. Taylor was my dj. From the initial meeting, I already knew that he was a great dj. He was fun and played all the right music. The dance floor was on fire! I didn't even give him a playlist, i just told him what kind of music I don't want played, and he knew exactly what we wanted. He's really good at judging the vibe of the crowd. I am so pleased with Expressway music and can not wait til one of my friends get married, so that i can recommend them to expressway music! read more

Tyler from Expressway Music a fantastic DJ and Karoke host for our corporate holiday party. I had to do absolutely NOTHING in this process, which of course, really appealed to me. I got the credit for a great party but Espressway did all the work! They contacted the venue directly to arrange early arrival, were completely set up when I arrived, and Tyler's professionalism and seamless DJing and Karoake operation made it a completely stress-free event for me. He took direction when there was a request, took the lead when there was a lull, played fantastic music and had an endless selection of karaoke songs. I will absolutely be using these guys again! read more

Expressway Music made our wedding stresfree and so easy! David Swirksky came highly recommended and was able to work with our eclectic group of guests and their tastes, including some nice salsa dancing music that we requested. We felt comfortable from the first moment we spoke and Dave was exceptionally thorough. The staff was on top of it all and very professional, especially Charissa. The stringtrio was a lovely touch and very good and flexible. Our guests had a blast dancing to the classy, fun and energizing music. I even got to see my brother and coworkers dance who I never imagined would! I didn't want the night to end! I highly recommend their work. Thank you so much Dave and Expressway Music for an unforgettable evening . read more

David Swirsky from Expressway Music DJ'd our wedding back in September, and it couldn't have been better! When we met him, we were sold. Hiring David was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish he made the planning process fun and easy and on the day of he was AMAZING! David was great from the very beginning - offering great suggestions on how to keep the party going. My guests were glued to the dance floor all night long (and so was I). David knew exactly what to play to put a smile on each one of my guests faces. One of the best things about David was the minimal effort that went into song selection. He basically asked us about the type of music we liked and about the guest experience we were looking for. We got to know each other, and that was it. With little information, he played our favorite songs and provided music that everyone liked. We let him do what he does best - DJ an amazing wedding! I can't say enough great things about him and his team! Thanks, David! It was a blast! read more

We hired David from Expressway Music for our wedding, and he was great. We had an international wedding that included music from Latin America and the Middle East. We also wanted hip hop music, as well. I am not sure how he did it, but he combined all of these styles in such a way that basically everyone attending our wedding danced all night long. It really was incredible. read more

Dan Kingman MC/DJ'd our daughter's bat mitzvah party recently. We had him for our older child's bat mitzvah party a few years ago and we were thrilled to be able to have him again. He did not disappoint! Dan is a superb DJ and an MC. He has a real knack for reading the room and playing whatever music that would please those who are on the floor dancing. He is great at engaging the teens and can keep the party flowing without being intrusive or coercive. Best of all, he is great about keeping the volume of music that keeps the dance party energetic while allowing others to converse. The dancers were terrific - fun, energetic, and engaging but also totally happy to go with the flow of the party. The office staff is also very courteous and friendly. I highly recommend Expressway Music! read more

This review is solely for their harpist, we didn't use their DJ services. Honestly, if it weren't for Charissa, who does all of the scheduling and coordination for Expressway, we would have cut ties with them a few days before our wedding. I don't think we fully understood the meaning of the expression of "the customer is always right" until we dealt with this harpist. To back up a bit, we had calls and/or walk-throughs scheduled with our DJ, caterer, florist, etc. before the wedding. We thought it best to make sure everyone was on the same page, so we asked Charissa if we could have a short call with the harpist as well, to ensure she knew what we were looking for, and to ask her suggestion on a song. We worked with Charissa, who was very pleasant and accommodating to schedule a 15 minute call. For the call itself, first, Charissa couldn't locate the harpist - she wasn't answering her phone. When she finally got on the phone, about 12 minutes late to a 15 minute call, she was clearly driving and getting in and out of her car. There were many extraneous noises in the background, it was hard to hear her and she clearly wasn't concentrating on our call. We'd sent an email with the part we needed a song suggestion on which she hadn't read through, and she seemed confused as to why the call was happening. To top it all off, she acted like the call was unnecessary and was blatantly rude. Tensions were rising, and my usually very calm and cool-headed fiance got irritated, we were paying her money and she could care less about her job or doing it professionally. Finally, when it got impossible to hear her, he said let's just reschedule the call. Charissa promptly called us back and promised to make things right, sending us links to song options for the part of the ceremony we needed, and promising over and over again that she'd be prompt on the wedding day. Fast forward to the wedding and she was indeed prompt and played fine. Much of the wedding is a blur to me, but one or two people complimented us having a harpist, so I imagine she played well. She had the nerve, however, to come up to me before my husband and I were about to make our entrance into the reception and say, "can you hear me now?!" At first I didn't understand, and then realized she meant because we'd gotten irritated on the call over her lack of professionalism. To come up to me in the middle of my wedding and do this was completely uncalled for. All in all, she did her job and did a good job of it. Personality-wise though, I will never hire her again. She left a terrible taste in my mouth. Charissa I must say though had given us her personal cell phone in case anything had gone wrong over the weekend, and followed up on Monday following the wedding to make sure all went okay. She seemed to go above and beyond. read more

I was so impressed with David. During our meetings he was really open to working with my husband on achieving the perfect balance of music for our wedding reception. When the big day arrived he gave us everything we had hoped for and more. And he's one of the kindest, most laid back guys around and I loved having his energy and attitude at our reception! read more

My now wife and I got married in early October 2015 and agreed when we started planning our wedding that picking the right DJ would make a huge difference in how the party portion of the wedding would go. We did the best we could by asking around, taking notes at other friends/family weddings, reading reviews on Yelp & The Knot & lots of other wedding sites. After reading plenty of positive reviews we contacted ExpressWay Music. From the start we were given great customer service and were really impressed with the way that they treated us even before committing to having them be our wedding DJ. Dan Kingman was our DJ and he did everything perfectly. I understand what that must sound like reading it here but hear me out. Here are some specific examples of how Dan went the extra mile for us... 1) We planned our wedding from California (since that's we've lived for over the last few years) and he worked with our schedule when it came to song selections and day of planning (even with the time zone difference). 2) Dan took the time to meet me in NYC when I was visiting the east coast about 6 months before the wedding just to get to know me and Ellie, how we met, our music styles, and what we envisioned our wedding would be like. We didn't even know exactly what it was going to be like but he really helped set a great scene for us with how the guests would be expecting the evening to go and what we wanted in terms of the flow of cocktail hour, entrances, first dance, dinner music, and the heavier dancing portion of the evening. 3) We provided song lists a few weeks before the wedding and Dan made sure he had the versions we talked about. There was nothing too hard to find (provided spotify and youtube links to be safe) and he was able to combine me and Ellie's musical tastes extremely well (she's more 90s hip hop and oldies, i'm more classic rock and EDM). Yes, he did a great job mixing all of those genres. 4) We met up a week before the wedding (Dan actually came and met us after we had a meeting with our photographer) to go through all of the details and made us feel extremely comfortable after sharing his experiences with how the wedding should progress (start off slow, get the tempo going, and then don't bring it down once its up!). He assured us that it was going to be a great time and we really believed he'd deliver. As bride and groom we really didn't have a whole lot of time to speak with the DJ on the day of but Dan made sure that he had all the pronunciations of our parties' names down during the entrance, seamlessly faded all of the music so there were so abrupt stops or silence (my biggest pet peeve), knew our first dance song and made sure we had heard the very beginning since we needed to know exactly when it started for our first dance (which was choreographed), and even played an acoustic version of Miracle by Above & Beyond (since I mentioned them as my favorite music group). Best of all the music was at the right level all night so people weren't shouting at each other if they were having a conversation 3 feet from each other and he never spoke unless he needed to but when he did was very articulate. Dan's got a great personality, read the room really well (180 guests, mostly 30-somethings, but even got some of the 50-somethings on the dance floor), and was an excellent DJ. We were extremely impressed with Dan's professionalism, talent, and ease of working with and are confident he'd do a great job at any event. read more

DJ DAN is the MAN! He is so cool & very accommodating! He made our son's 9th Birthday party soooo awesome!! We recommend him to everyone & Expressway of course. Smooth transaction and 100% delivery. DJ Dan is very approachable, took all the kiddies' song requests & all songs from our playlist played!!! Great DJ, great party!!! Love DJ Dan! Til our next event!!! read more

This review is so long overdue! David was the DJ for our wedding last August and we have been meaning to write a review but always got side-tracked! We knew David was the right choice from the minute we sat down with him based on his fun-loving personality and eclectic taste in music. We only have wonderful memories of everyone dancing throughout the night, thanks to the amazing playlist and vibe that David provided. We are so thankful and anyone would be lucky to work with Expressway Music. thanks again! Jake and Julie read more

I am an Event Planner and I feel confident in referring Expressway Music to my clientele. They are very professional with great response time and excellent customer service. They make my clients feel comfortable with requests, they dress and act professionally the day of the events and their equipment is modern. I have even used them for my own birthday celebrations - I loved their adult magician!! I am always impressed when I refer them and I will continue to do so!! read more

DJ Dan Kingman was our DJ for our June 14 wedding. We looked into Expressway Music after reading the rave reviews on Yelp. We pretty much decided that we were going to work with them from our first contact. Everyone we spoke with at Expressway was extremely professional, and as a type A person I absolutely loved their process. The wedding day forms and music library on their website make it so easy to express the vibe you want for your special day. We were introduced to Dan right away and he was completely open to meeting with us to discuss our ideas. We had some pretty set ideas of what we wanted from the wedding party introductions to incorporating suggestions from our guests. He was very open to incorporating all of these things and his calmness and professionalism helps to make you feel that everything is going to be great the day of. And it was! He remembered everything and incorporated everything that we had asked (and even picked up on the hints of what we didn't want--which is equally as important!). He even played a song that my father mentioned in his toast immediately following, which was such a wonderful and sentimental touch. Many of our guests were wearing sunglasses so he played a snippet of "sunglasses at night," which everyone has mentioned to us as being very cool and fun. We have received great reviews about the music, including that it got everyone from all ages dancing, it was a blast, and that they were so happy to hear their request played. Following the wedding we received a nice email from him thanking US for everything! We would strongly recommend Expressway for your event! Thanks so much Dan :) read more

Dave Swirsky rocked our married world. He's super nice, professional, really puts you at ease, and listens! Plus he's got a great demeanor and he's patient. He knows what he's doing and works well w/ others. He was a doll helping out the live musician my parents asked to sing at our wedding, lending him speakers to use, even though we didn't pay him extra or anything. Def recommend! read more

Expressway Music is a terrific company, top to bottom, for handling your event's musical needs. For our wedding in February 2014, my wife and I knew we should hire David and his company after our first interaction. He had been recommended by a friend who had hired David for his own wedding, and he (correctly) told us that we couldn't go wrong with a DJ who has David Bowie and Outkast album covers on his office walls. He was right. David and his staff (who were always professional, courteous and helpful) set the tone perfectly right from the moment we sat down for our first chat. He understood our rather diverse musical tastes immediately. He let us think through each section of the wedding day and what kind of mood we were hoping to set. And while he encourages a limited number of requests, he is able to perfectly read the crowd to get or keep everyone dancing. He also goes the extra mile, as we had selected for our first dance a song that we could only find online, in a live performance YouTube clip. He cleaned up the track and made my wife's day as she got to dance to the perfect version of her favorite song. I can't recommend Expressway Music and David Swirsky highly enough! read more

I had DJ Dan emcee my wedding after seeing him for years do Karaoke Night. I figured, "he's awesome doing karaoke, let's go with what I know." I had NO IDEA that he'd be the most adept, fluid, engaging, masterful wedding guru! (And I had no idea that he had been doing weddings so often that he even has a license to be an officiant. :) ) To start, DJ Dan is a testament to the difference between getting a FLAWLESSLY GREAT and experienced DJ who knows his craft...vs getting a good DJ. My mom had told me when I was planning my wedding that the entertainment "makes or breaks the wedding." And she was right. My entertainment made my wedding the best night of my life. Dan met with us weeks before the wedding and asked a bunch of questions about things I had never even thought of, and even the slightest weird request was taken note of ("can we have the law and order sound effect before every toast?" Yep, he did it!) At the end of the meeting, my fiancee said, "You know what? I was stressed about everything...until today. I just feel like Dan can take care of any curve ball." That peace of mind alone was worth its weigh in gold. Dan called the band before the wedding and coordinated every last detail with them. He accommodated every last weird song request, and had this innate ability to know exactly what to play to keep the crowd on their feet! It was amazing, and perfect, and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ/emcee. Here's the thing. Other places I talked to tried to convinced me I needed a separate DJ, a separate emcee, and a separate singer. Dan did all 3. And on top of everything? The whole booking process could not have been more seamless or pleasant. Quick to respond. Eager to please. Just wonderful beyond the telling of it. This was such an important day, and I wanted everything to be perfect. Expressway Music made sure that it was, and for that, I am so incredibly grateful. read more

We cannot thank Dave Swirsky and his team for throwing an amazing party for our wedding! He really knows how to read the crowd. All of our guests were impressed by his music choices - one even coming up to us and asking 'who is selecting this music'! Dave took the time to meet with us before our event to understand our crowd and our music preferences, and even gave us some suggestions. We loved working with Dave and his team - a super fun group to work with! Highly highly recommend them!!! read more

Great work by Expressway music, we all had an amazing time....DJ Dave knows how to read the crowd well - whether its hiphop or swing! We had our wedding at the Pleasantdale Chateau and his team stepped up to the occasion! Awesome music choice selection that got people dancing before the appetizers came out! Very flexible - knowledgeable of both brand new songs and classic songs - professional - fun! read more

Expressway Music was recommended by our venue, but we still interviewed several other DJ companies (to be sure) and it quickly became clear that Expressway was absolutely the best option. DJ Dave (the owner) and his assistant Charissa aren't a huge company, but that means you get extremely personalized care and service - you're not one of many customers being passed around to any available DJ - you're working directly with your DJ on every detail of the event. Dave has so much experience, we felt completely comfortable in his hands and were happy to take his recommendations on things like lighting, microphones, and speakers in the different spaces of our venue. We had only a few months to plan the whole wedding so it was invaluable to us that he knew what he was doing - and he knew the space and other vendors very well. The planning (2 in person meetings and various emails), the contract/payments, and the day-of went so smoothly! Most importantly, Dave had the perfect energy for the event and was constantly reading the room to make sure people were having fun and dancing the whole time. read more

We loved Dave at Expressway Music! He not only was a fantastic DJ at our wedding, who managed to get people from at least three countries (UK, US, Colombia) on the dancefloor at the same time and ALL NIGHT, but also organised a fantastic doo-wop group, Spank, to sing in cocktail hour and a lovely jazz group during dinner. He is a very charismatic DJ, a fantastic person, and by the time we went through the whole organisational process with him, he felt like he could be a wedding guest rather than a vendor! He really made the party and we had loads of compliments from our guests. Thanks also to Charissa at Expressway for her fantastic coordination skills! We love you guys! read more
