Fantastic experience with DJ Romy and Dan Goldman Events

We had a great experience working with Dan Goldman events for our wedding. We hired DJ Romy, and Dan Goldman's team also did the lights for our venue and provided an awesome photobooth.

Having good music that went beyond the standard "wedding songs" and a lively dance floor was one of our top priorities for the wedding and DJ Romy was fantastic. If you hire Romy you can trust that you and your guests will have an amazing time. Aside from the dance floor DJing, Romy also supplied the on-site ceremony sound and seamlessly worked with our live musicians for the ceremony to do the audio for them, all of which was flawless. He was also very professional to work with and did a prep call with us that helped us make sure the night ran smoothly. 10/10 would recommend!

Thank you, DJ Brennan!

My husband, Anthony and I had the pleasure of working with DJ, Brennan Sullivan and he was absolutely fantastic!!! From our initial call to the day of our wedding, Brennan was extremely responsive, attentive, and creative and we cannot thank him enough for all of his help! He was very considerate of our list of songs while also taking expert direction. Everyone at our wedding raved about his set and we all had the best night dancing!!! We highly highly recommend you book Brennan for your next event!! Thank you so much, Brennan!! You’re amazing!

Fantastic wedding experience with DJ Brennan & SaxBeast

We could not have asked for a better DJ than DJ Brennan! Working with him was a breeze from start to finish. Right from our first message, he was incredibly responsive - answering every question super fast and accommodating all of our specific requests without hesitation.

On the wedding day, Brennan was the ultimate professional. After seeing DJs at other weddings who were distracting or over-the-top, we were so grateful for his smooth, polished approach. He handled everything seamlessly from the ceremony straight through to the reception so we didn't have to worry about a thing.

Most importantly, he absolutely nailed the vibes - setting the perfect mood for cocktail hour and keeping the dance floor completely electric to close out the night! He hit every single one of our "must-play" tracks and did an incredible job sequencing them so the flow felt completely natural. Having SaxBeast play alongside him took the energy to another level, and our guests haven't stopped raving about the live sax and DJ combo.

If you want a professional, stress-free DJ who knows how to keep a crowd on their feet all night, hire DJ Brennan (and definitely add SaxBeast!). Thank you both for making our night unforgettable!

Best Band Ever!!!!!

We cannot speak highly enough about the band Another Level that played at our son's wedding this weekend. They were phenomenal and brought a lot of positive energy to the reception. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a fun, exceptionally talented, and friendly group of musicians!

DJ Brennan was amazing!!!

In the chaos of planning everything else for our wedding, our experience with Brennan as DJ was easy and perfect! We both love music so had a lot of ideas for songs we'd like to hear. Brennan was able to seamlessly integrate our "must plays" with the his ability to read the room. Brennan's announcements and transitions were also flawless - enthusiastic but never felt too over the top. Working with Brennan was a dream and guests agreed! 90% of people were on the dance floor for 3 hours straight. Cannot recommend enough!

DJ Brennan Sullivan Made an Amazing Night Unforgettable!

Brennan Sullivan was the DJ for our wedding (October 2026) and we can't say enough good things about our experience working with him. During pre-wedding planning he made sure to talk with us about how he works and what we wanted from a DJ. He was very communicative and responsive throughout the planning process and it was very clear that he knew very well what he was doing, which put us at ease.

During the actual reception, things went off without a hitch. The sound was great, introductions for speakers and the wedding party were seamless and Brennan did a fantastic job of merging our song requests with other fantastic song selections that kept people on the dance floor throughout the night. We got lots of positive comments from guests afterwards about how much fun they had and the great music selections. Overall we couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Brennan as DJ for anyone else's wedding.

Had a great time dancing!

Mark and his daughter were very professional and did an awesome job keeping the energy up for the dancing at our wedding! He was very communicative beforehand and made sure to get a good idea of what we were looking for through several phone calls and checking in on the day. Everyone had a great time!

He was professional, easy to work with, and truly understood the vibe we wanted. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to celebrate our big day. Highly recommend Brennan to any couple looking to make their reception a great time!

Great Wedding DJ Brennan Sullivan!

DJ Brennan was a great wedding DJ! He was very helpful during the planning process, sharing sample playlists and other questionnaires so that he knew our / our gusts' music preferences. During the wedding, he was receptive to requests, and he played a great variety of music (all that matched with our preferences). And he kept everyone engaged during the reception, and the dance floor was filled the entire time. Would highly recommend!
