About

If you care to understand what drives any business, follow the money. What makes an independent dj like myself different is I don't need to fill 5, 10 or 20 calendars for my dj staff. Not all brides and grooms want the same thing. So using a one dj fits all approach is exactly what I'd have to do if I booked multiple guys. For me - the interview goes both ways. I want to dj weddings for couples that fit with what I do. Think about your spouse to be. I'm betting somewhere in that relationship you share similar values and have a rapport that works for you both. Well, working an event that feels like a fit is WAAAY better than "not feeling it". How do I know? Because I've been there done that. I'm 20 plus years in and my clients love what I do. I've learned along the way how to get and keep a crowds interest musically. But it came at the expense of a few events along the way wherein the client felt they new better. I'm just over believing someone knows more about it than I do. 20 plus years can do that to a guy. MY secret to having happy brides is knowing we're a fit from the start.

Quickly what I'm not:

  • I’m not some techno house DJ that spins records with his elbows.
  • I won’t pull people off their chairs to get them up — I let my music do this.
  • I don’t do this as a side job – this is a significant source of my income.
  • I won’t comment on your sexy legs or encourage the groom to use his teeth if you choose a bouquet and garter.
  • I don’t play music with obviously obscene lyrics – gangsta rap, b****es and “hoe-zzz” (don't know how to spell that one) come to mind. I'm not a saint either but nasty is nasty and it's just not my thing. I've done events with explicit many times which is why I know I don't like it.
  • I don’t have different packages or upsells – you get everything.
  • I won’t hang giant signs or banners on my table, sell glow sticks to guests or blow up vinyl guitars.
  • I won't botch names or train wreck the music.
  • I don't do weddings where a couple controls every song played. I love and encourage suggestion lists and presuming it'll keep a floor bumping with happy guests I'll use it all. But if I see a song I know to be a loser, unless it's a bride and groom favorite I'm not going to play it.
  • I'm not inflexible... the stuff above may seem contrary to that but I know how to adapt to all sorts of crowds and changes. I love playing and exploring all sorts of music - from country to techno to hip hop, rock, hillbilly, reggae, motown, jazz and more. I just won't "explore" it to the extent I'll lose a dancefloor full of people. I want people laughing, dancing and singing. I want brides and grooms that want that. PERIOD

I didn't realize the importance of a wedding DJ until I saw how much DJ Dan made the night

I'd never been to a wedding where I'd even given much thought to the DJ. But every guest I spoke with made a point to talk about how great DJ Dan was, and I agree. He was an absolute standout - he kept the dancefloor lively all night, he was a standout emcee, and he was a delight to work with. Dan is clearly a pro and from our first conversation I knew our wedding was in good hands with him. He took our wedding to the next level and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who asks me for wedding advice.

Dan Was in Fact The Man

Picking the right DJ was extremely important for us. Our friends love to dance so we really wanted to make sure we found the right person. We talked to a few different people and Dan felt miles apart from every other DJ we spoke with. From the gun I could tell he was not only great at what he does, but also a great person. Through the coordination process he was extremely good at guiding us through and giving his expert opinion on how to optimize the event. Dan also made the reception a blast. The dance floor was full nearly the entire time and we got tons of compliments on how great he was. We will 100% be recommending Dan to any of our friends getting married!

Best. DJ. Ever.

DJ Dan was nothing short of incredible. He was responsive, positive, kind, and above all he kept the dance floor full ALL night!! He was constantly making eye contact with my husband and I to make sure we were having a good time and approved of what he was playing. Music is extremely important to us and he accommodated our wide taste of different genres. He was amazing and we never had a single worry about music. He helped take so much stress off of the process and we are forever grateful for him!!

Great DJ to work with!

DJ Dan was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was very cordial and professional, more than easy to get a hold of, and worked really hard to make sure our reception was everything we could ever ask for. He made sure to get the wedding party's names correct (definitely a plus and a tiny detail that really goes a long way), played great songs and really got the dance floor going. My family isn't what you would call "dance happy" and they were out there grooving! Not cheesy or uncomfortable, Dan truly was kind and a joy to work with. My fiance and I had a surprise choreographed first dance, and Dan kept an eye out for us while we quickly rehearsed in the back beforehand. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great DJ!

Very happy!

We were so pleased to have Dan as our DJ! He was an excellent communicator, listener, and DJ. We were a little nervous about hiring someone for this role on the biggest day of our lives, but Dan was more than willing to meet with us in the month before our wedding to go over every detail of the reception with us. He was very thorough and listened to everyone of our questions and concerns. He was willing to tailor his services to our vision, and we couldn't have been happier. He had never been to our venue before, but he reassured us he would be there early to set up and get familiar with the venue. Not only was he amazing, but his rates were the best out there! Thank you, Dan!

Great music, packed dance floor

We used DJ Dan for our wedding in September and he was absolutely amazing. He took the time the week of our wedding to make sure he knew our timeline, our likes/dislikes and how to pronounce our wedding party’s names. Everything went smoothly through the whole night and he kept our schedule on track. Our dance floor was packed the entire night with all ages- from our young ring bearer/flower girl to cousins to aunts and uncles. We received compliments all night about how good the music was and we’re still hearing from people about how fun the dancing was. We would recommend him to anyone!

Having Dan as our DJ was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We had a daytime wedding and I was a little concerned that people wouldn't have as much fun or be dancing, and honestly you have nothing to worry about with Dan. He really knows how to give the crowd the songs they respond best to. We had a crowd that would dance and sing to the most random songs (random country songs, polka, etc) and Dan was excellent at responding to the crowd. Dancing was a hit!! I was so surprised because I did not think we had a dancing crowd. It was so much fun and I would recommend Dan to EVERYONE. Any type of wedding you have, he will adapt to fit the vibe of the day. He is so professional, quick to respond, and it's very easy to trust his opinion with all his experience in the industry. He is so good at getting people on the dance floor without being annoying or obnoxious as I've seen DJs in my school dance days. We can't thank him enough for making our day so special - you will be so happy you chose Dan for your event - HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!

Dan is great! He communicates well throughout the process, is very open to suggestions while not afraid to give his own, and is a fantastic DJ! He handled our reception fantastically, playing the right music at the right times. We had a small wedding and our dance floor was still full all night until the very end. Highly recommend DJ Dan!

Dan from Michigan Wedding DJ is awesome, not only as a DJ but as a person! He's a super chill nice guy who knows exactly what he's doing and knows how to keep the party going. He also has that special personality type that just helps keep things from falling flat unlike some new DJs. That's not always a guarantee with DJs! I've enjoyed working with Dan and will continue to refer him to all of my clients. Book him now! You won't regret it.

We worked with Dan recently, and not only was he great at keeping the party rocking, and keeping people out on the dance floor, but he was always there to make sure we knew when things were going to take place. Timelines can shift a bit as the day goes on, and he did a great job giving us a heads up, so we knew when to be where!
