We went with DJ Dave and Expressway Music for our NYC wedding and could not have been happier! It was an absolute pleasure working with him throughout the whole process.

From the very beginning, we were impressed by Dave's excellent communication. He was extremely responsive over email and answered all of our questions promptly. When we met with him over Zoom, he won us over immediately with his warm personality, professionalism, and clear passion for his work. He asked us all the right questions about our wedding and musical tastes and made us feel confident that we were in capable experienced hands. He was also very flexible, collaborative, and easy to work with—accommodating our various requests at different stages of the process. On top of that, his rates were very fair and reasonable compared to the competition.

During the wedding, Dave did a phenomenal job selecting music and getting people up on the dance floor. He was great at reading the energy of the room and made smart decisions on the fly. When we decided to add a live pianist for the ceremony and cocktail hour, he recommended Richard from their roster of musicians. Wow, what a great choice! Richard is a very talented and expressive pianist and made our ceremony even more special. We had chosen a few pieces that were off the beaten path, but were delighted to learn that Richard was already very familiar with them! On the wedding day he played a beautiful medley that transitioned seamlessly from one to the other. We had an incredible night and absolutely recommend DJ Dave, Richard, and Expressway Music!

We hired Expressway Music to host our Karaoke after party and it was even better than we imagined! David was amazing to work with beforehand and even helped us with extra lighting equipment for our reception at the last minute. The KJ (Karaoke DJ naturally) was all set up when we got to the after party and immediately kicked the night off. He was a great host/MC in addition to keeping the night running smoothly. It was going so well, and we had so many people who wanted to sing, we extended by an extra hour (Expressway Music was super transparent about costs for night of extensions and pricing was extremely fair!).

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. (August 2019 wedding in Manhattan)

Dave is a wonderful DJ - the dance floor was mobbed - he accommodated guest’s requests and he was great to work with! His assistant, Charissa was also terrific to work with leading up to our wedding. We were thrilled with the way it all turned out and the music really made it very special!! Can’t recommend Expressway Music enough!!! Thanks Dave for helping to make our special day so memorable!! Susan and Tim

David and his team are super easy to work with and had great suggestions for our big day! It was such a fun dance party and no one wanted to leave the dance floor at the end of the night. Highly recommend.

We used Expressway to DJ our wedding ceremony and reception last week at Perona Farms in NJ. David Swirsky was wonderful!! He showed up to our venue 2 hours in advance of the start of our ceremony to set up and he did a fabulous job! He spoke with my husband and I in advance of the wedding and really took our wants and likes into consideration. He made sure to play almost everything on our request list. Expressway’s database to customize a request list is quite extensive! David did such a professional and expert job of combining the tastes of all of our guests as It appealed to all kinds of musical interests and balanced English and Spanish music. Our guests, particularly myself, danced the entire night!! Everyone truly enjoyed themselves and commented afterward how much fun they had. David is such a professional and kind guy! He had just as much as fun as we did and It showed!!

My wife and I hired Expressway Music to DJ our wedding and they brought the whole event to the next level. Dave kept people on the dance floor all night. His ability to read the crowd and remain flexible in choosing songs ensured that our reception was a true party - I’ve never seen so many people constantly dancing at a wedding until ours! He was extremely receptive to our personal tastes in music and was happy to take song requests in the moment, which also made our guests very happy. There wasn’t a moment in the night where an unpopular song was played and the transitions were so natural that we barely noticed them. Everyone should hire Expressway Music for their next event - they will make it truly memorable.

DJ Dave and his assistants are beyond amazing. They’re willing to go the distance to make your life easier. Any requests or questions I had were answered right away. On the day of the wedding, DJ Dave played amazing music throughout the night that even got my relatives from Korea (who are not dancers) onto the dance floor. I would recommend to any couple who wants to show their guests a good time!

There are not enough nice words I could say about Dave and his team! They are absolutely AMAZING!!! I had a very specific vision for a karaoke wedding, and was unable to find any DJ who could really understand what I wanted. After having one conversation with Dave I knew I had found my DJ! He really understood exactly what I wanted, and he delivered perfectly! So many people came up to me afterwards commenting on how well our DJ flowed seamlessly between karaoke and dancing and did not miss a beat!! Dave is a great guy, and truly loves what he does, and exudes this when he works your wedding! His passion and enthusiasm are contagious and he got every person dancing (even on our muddy dance floor!) the entire night! I am so thankful I found him to work our wedding and would recommend him to anybody who has an event coming up!

From the very beginning Expressway Music was very attentive. My husband and I are both musicians and we can both be a bit of music snobs, and they listened to everything we were asking for. Alberto was our DJ the night of our wedding and he killed it! Everyone loved him.
