About

I'm Dan Carpenter, owner of Dan C Entertainment (formerly known as DC Entertainment). I started DJing because of my love of music. I kept DJing because I love the spirit of the event; the reactions of the crowd, the smiles, the laughter, and the pure energy that comes from any gathering. There is little that I like more than to see a group of people truly enjoying themselves.

When it comes to your wedding day I believe the day should be about you, and that's where the focus will be. I will work with you beforehand to find out exactly what you want for your reception. I will work with your other vendors to help coordinate the event so that you have as little to worry about as possible. My job is to ensure that you and your guest enjoy themselves the best they possibly can.

Absolutely Incredible DJ Experience with DanC Entertainment!

We could not have asked for a better DJ than DanC Entertainment for our wedding! From start to finish, Dan was incredibly detail-oriented and truly invested in making our day perfect. Before the event, he took the time to get to know us as a couple, learning about our personalities, music preferences, and the overall vibe we wanted for our celebration. It was so clear that he genuinely cared about creating a personalized experience that reflected us.
Dan even met with us in person right before we walked in to check in and make sure everything was in order — something we really appreciated! His setup was top-notch and very modern, with multiple screens to display photos of us throughout the night, adding such a special touch.
We also used his Photo Booth services, which were an absolute hit with our guests! Everyone loved it, and we have so many fun memories from those photos.
Dan went above and beyond with the technical side too — providing high-quality microphones for the maid of honor, father of the bride, and best man, and even recording all of the speeches for us (without us even asking!). That thoughtful gesture meant the world to us.
When it came to the music, Dan nailed it. He seamlessly incorporated all of the songs from our Spotify playlist while reading the crowd perfectly to keep the dance floor full all night long. His energy, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire evening flow effortlessly.
If you’re planning a wedding (or any event) in Central PA, look no further — DanC Entertainment is the DJ you want! He truly helped make our day unforgettable.

Best Wedding DJ, hands down.

I've worked in the wedding industry with Dan for a few years now, and I knew after just a few weddings together, we had to book him for ours. He is always thoughtful and thorough from start to finish. He kept the entire day running smoothly. He had everyone where they needed to be for speeches/dances & all of the events - no small task with the group that we had! He helped us get our food/drinks, communicated with all of our vendors anywhere that he could, and was so sweet to our friends & family! He kept everyone engaged and dancing all night, and handled the requests from all of our flower girls like a champ. We heard so many times how awesome he was. I recommend him to every single couple, every time as a fellow vendor. Being on the bride side of things I will continue to do so again & again! He was, by far, one of the best choices we made in planning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dan was absolutely AMAZING to work with! From the moment we booked him to our wedding day (and even after), he was so helpful, professional, and easy to communicate with. He kept everything running smoothly and worked seamlessly with our photographer to keep us on schedule. The music was perfect all night! We had so many guests tell us how awesome our DJ was! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a DJ who truly goes above and beyond!

Highly recommend!

Dan was amazing! From the monthly emails leading up to the wedding to keeping our dance floor packed all night Dan helped make our wedding perfect! He provided us with a lot of guidance leading up to the wedding and helping us plan a perfect timeline. He had so much energy and made everything run smoothly. We also got the photo booth package which was so much fun! He hand delivered a photo book with all of the pictures right before we left for the night. I cannot recommend him enough!

The best DJ!!

My husband and I were married on May 17 of this year. When looking for a DJ, we really didn’t know which way to turn. We came across Dan, and we’re so thankful we did! From the very first call, Dan made us feel confident and helped guide us when we needed it! He went out of his way to ensure our day went perfectly. He was there for us in ways we didn’t even know we would need! He kept our wedding flowing smoothly, and his personality was just great. We gave him a lot of freedom with song choice at our reception - he knocked it out of the park! We loved every song he played. We would absolutely recommend Dan time and time again!! Thanks so much to Dan for bringing our big day to life!

10/10 Highly Recommend

Best decision we made having Dan DJ our wedding on 9/21/24. Not only is he a super nice person but he is an awesome DJ. Our guests enjoyed him, he kept the dancefloor going all night long. I have to say I will never forget him helping me carry my plate of food back to my table so that I didn't drop it all over myself, definitely never seen a DJ do this and its so appreciated. Through the planning process, he gave great pointers and advice as far as sound system, timeline for the day, design aspects, etc. Our photobooth was a hit as well as the monogram he created for us. He did not disappoint when we asked him to play a different song for each of our bridal party entrances. Everything flowed smoothly and cohesively throughout the entire day and evening. Definitely telling our friends and family about using him in the future!

A top tier DJ for this DJ

As a wedding DJ out of Erie PA, everyone wanted to know who would be MY DJ, for my wedding which happened about a month ago. From being in the industry, I obviously know most of the local DJs and many of the not-so-local ones. We had lots of great choices.

We went into this understanding how much value a killer DJ brings to the event and knew we had to have the best. We met Dan in Atlantic City at the DJ Expo many years ago and immediately became friends with him. I've watched Dan be a DJ for the DJs at the Expo, a presenter on the DJ News TV show, an entertainer for countless events and fundraisers, and knew he was the man for the job.

Fortunately for us, he was willing to drive almost 4 hours to our venue in Western New York.

Through the 6 months of planning, the multiple conversations, meetings, and set up, Dan was an absolute professional. His online portals made planning super easy and he was willing to help steer us when we had questions.

His MC'ing at the event blew even a seasoned DJ away, his music choice top notch, his equipment stylish, modern, and high end, sound quality was perfect, mics did not cut out. This dude knows his stuff and absolutely rocked our event.

We were so lucky to have him as the entertainer at our event and even luckier to call him a friend.

5/5 only because I can't give 10/5 stars.

You know you're gonna have a great celebration with DC.

110% recommend Dan!

Dan was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was always available to answer any questions and help us along the way, and very quick to respond! Our zoom meeting with him helped us make a lot of decisions and put us at ease leading up to our wedding day. He kept everything running smoothly and flawlessly so we had time for all of the important moments we wanted included in our day. The Photo Booth was also a huge hit with our friends & family! We would highly recommend Dan for your wedding (or any DJ needs) and would gladly choose him again!

DJ Saved Our Son's Rainy Wedding Day

I cannot say enough good things about the wedding DJ, Dan. Despite the rainy weather, he provided an amazing soundtrack that kept the guests dancing all night long.

My son’s outdoor wedding was planned for a beautiful sunny day in September. But the morning of the big event, we woke up to an unfavorable forecast and had to move the ceremony indoors at the last minute.

But Dan took it all in stride. He worked with us to set up inside quickly and made sure the new layout would still work well for mingling and dancing. He remained so friendly and flexible throughout the changes. During the reception, Dan did a fantastic job reading the crowd and playing music that appealed to all our guests.

Despite the weather and venue change throwing us for a loop, He kept the party going with nonstop music. I highly recommend DJ/MC if you want a DJ who can adapt to challenging situations and keep your guests engaged all night long. We couldn't have pulled off the wedding without him! He turned a stressful rainy day into a night we'll never forget.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
