Brennan Sullivan brings the party!!

Brennan is a true professional and a master of his craft! His warmth and confidence during our initial meeting call was so comforting, especially at the beginning of the wedding planning process when there are so many unknowns. He’s so much fun and our guests absolutely loved him!!

Amazing DJ Ricardo and Dan Goldman Events

We used DJ Ricardo for our May 2026 wedding. We were so happy to have booked him. He was super informative on our planning calls prior to the wedding. Ricardo knew exactly how to set up the audio for our outdoor ceremony - definitely a pro. He blended the best party music set to our preferences during the reception. We felt we were in good hands and would recommend him for those needing a wedding or even big event dj.

We highly recommend DJ Brennan Sullivan!

We had a fantastic experience with Dan Goldman Events (Brennan Sullivan was our DJ, and we also hired the company for ceiling lights). Brennan had the crowd on the dance floor all night with an excellent mix of songs we had specifically requested and songs he chose on his own as the night evolved. His DJing really made the reception special. Brennan was helpful and responsive in the leadup to the wedding as well. We absolutely would recommend him to anyone who wants their guests to dance all night!

Brennan Sullivan: Fantastic Wedding DJ!

Brennan Sullivan DJed our wedding and did an incredible job! He was extremely communicative and helpful in the lead-up to the event. During the reception, he did an amazing job of playing from our playlists that we provided and mixing in everything that we were missing. He kept the dance floor full until the night ended! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ in the DMV area.

Wedding with DJ Brennan Sullivan

We had such a great experience with DJ Brennan and Dan Goldman events for our wedding! Leading up to the event, Brennan helped us curate music for all throughout the night (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing) based off what we liked. We had a short, specific portion of an instrumental we wanted to use for walking down the aisle, and Brennan was able to loop it cleanly without the song skipping a beat (literally).

During the event, he managed the transitions smoothly and helped us navigate a few different sets of toasts and entrances. Once we got to the dance floor, he kept the vibes high all night, and got everyone having fun, young and old. We had so many people come up to us and mention how great the music was. People are still talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor.

We would work with DJ Brennan and Dan Goldman events again in a heartbeat!

DJ Brennan Sullivan was fantastic

DJ Brennan Sullivan kept our party hopping! We weren’t entirely sure what we wanted from our wedding music - mostly, we knew what we didn’t want, and I was worried about how anyone can build hours of music from that. Brennan helped us narrow it down, and took our guidance on what we liked (and didn’t!) and came with a playlist that kept the dancing going all night. I kept hearing the songs I’d mentioned liking, and he did a good job of mixing them in instead of depending on those few artists. The ceremony and announcements were perfect, he took my cue when I realized we hadn’t told him when to cut the song for the first dance (hint: four and a half minutes is too long), and the dance floor went - constantly - for the whole night. He rolled with our tastes, took requests, and we got a ton of comments about how great the music and dancing was. When we closed out (at 11:30 on a Sunday evening, no less!) there were still ten or fifteen folks going hard. Our coordinator and photographer both said that they love working with him, too. Great music, helpful planning, and someone folks like working with? I would hire Brennan again in a heartbeat.

Thank you DJ Brennan Sullivan!!

Choosing DJ Brennan for our Feb. 2026 wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From our first call, Brennan clearly communicated his process and was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and requests. His professionalism and communication made him so easy to work with, and we knew we were in good hands. Our dance floor was packed and SO much fun thanks to DJ Brennan keeping the vibes high all night long! He knew how to get the crowd on the dance floor and keep them there. We've had multiple people tell us that it was the best dance floor they've experienced and we owe it all to DJ Brennan!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
