About
Gorham Productions is a professional entertainment company that specializes in individual attention. We work with our clients as much as it takes to ensure that each event matches the clients’ initial vision of it.
What we are not is a giant corporate ‘DJ factory’ that churns out events and gives them to the next guy on the list. We have a handful of carefully chosen entertainers that will be matched up with your event according to their unique experience and personality.
Gorham Productions is owned and managed by Dan Gorham, an experienced DJ, MC, broadcaster and performer who does as many of the Gorham Productions events as he can himself. He began as an on-air DJ in college, and continued in Key West Florida for Key 93.5 FM, which became the #1 station in the market during his tenure. Upon his move back home to Massachusetts, he worked as an MC and promoter for Star 93.7, as well as continuing to DJ at weddings, clubs, and all kinds of parties. Dan has performed as MC for countless events in Florida and New England, as well as continuing his career as a voice-over artist and stand-up comedian in and around Boston.
Dan Gorham has been DJing since the late 90s. He knows how to make sure that you and all your guests have a great time at whatever event you’re planning. Please drop us a line for a free quote and consultation, with absolutely no obligation.

Dan,
I would like to extend the utmost thanks and appreciation for the great job you did at our wedding. Having worked as the bartender at many functions, I have seen some of the best and worst DJ's in Boston. You, by far, exceeded them all. You had my entire wedding dancing the entire night (which almost never happens). I have been told by many of my friends that it was "the best and most fun wedding" they have ever gone to and "that DJ was awesome". You did everything we asked and more!
If I can ever be of service to you, or if any of your customers would ever like a reference, please put us at the top of your list. Thanks again for making our wedding a fantastic experience.
Sincerely, Ian and Patty Kelley

Dan,

My husband and I will recommend you personally to ALL of our friends back east! You were the BEST!!!!
Please send me a business card if you can...I mean it about recommending you...I have a HUGE family (83 immediate family members on my dad’s side) and would love to give them your info!
Thanks again for everything!

Hey Dan,
Just want to thank you for Friday night! You were great and I think everyone had a really good time. My friend, Ameera, said she wished you had DJ'd her wedding instead of the guy she had. She thought you were fantastic. You were! Thanks again and I'll probably see you on the 4th.

From Yelp:
Dan's absolutely awesome! We got married recently (July 2011) and Dan DJ'd for us, providing the music for everything from the ceremony itself up through the last dance. I gave him a fairly detailed set list and he was able to find every single song and chose great, similar tracks to fill in the gaps where needed. Everyone commented on how great the music was, so I can't recommend Dan enough.
Perhaps most importantly, Dan won't pressure you into picking songs you don't really like. You really can't go wrong trusting your event in his hands!

Hello Daniel,
You were the DJ at my wedding last September, and we all loved your performance and I had to recommend your services for my best friend’s wedding this coming September.
I hope you are available on this day, because I want her wedding to be the BEST and you’re the man for the job!
I hope all is well with you!
Cheers-
Jaime

Professional Network & Endorsements
Dan was so accommodating and professional.... There is no words to describe that. He went an extra mile and had all wires and connections set up and ready to go for me (videographer) to record sound for the wedding video. When you are in a hurry to set up three cameras after you just did bridal preps and ceremony is about to start little thing like this is most thoughtful and priceless! He asked me in advance what kind of MP3 recorder I was going to use. As little as I knew he needed it so he could make sure I was all set to record the best possible sound for our couple... He had so many mics around for the ceremony. It was so impressive. Everything was as smooth as you can dream about for the outdoor out of nowhere (park on the ocean). It is so nice to have a great team to work with... Leaves you more time to be creative and at your best for the couple! Thank you, Dan, so so MUCH!!!!!!!
I had the pleasure of working with Dan at a recent Lake View Pavilion wedding. He is very professional, friendly, and knows how to keep everyone on the dance floor. He is a class act, and I look forward to working with him again! Best, Tara
