DJ Dan Fudim

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Brooklyn, NY
  • Offer

After 14 plus years DJing weddings across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, I know the fear is not just bad music. It is awkward MC moments, dead air, generic playlists, and a dance floor that never connects. My style combines real wedding experience with NYC nightlife instincts: live mixing, clean announcements, calm planning, and room reading that keeps every generation included without making the night feel forced.

“DJ Dan blew us out of the water from the very first call we had with him. His professionalism, communication, and positive, uplifting vibe was perfect for our evening. Constantly throughout the night our guests were complimenting how great the music was and how awesome Dan and his transitions were. He is the definition of a smooth operator.”

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,950

Hi, I’m Dan Ross — a NYC-based DJ with over a decade of experience bringing unforgettable energy to weddings, private events, and dance floors across the city. From your first dance to your final send-off, I’ll work with you to craft a soundtrack that feels like you — blending hip-hop, pop, reggaeton, R&B, afrobeats, house, and more to keep the energy flowing and the dance floor full. Whether I’m DJing or MCing, my focus is always on creating a seamless experience your guests will remember long after the night ends.

“Dan was absolutely amazing as the DJ for our wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in 2026! He struck such a great balance between being organized, professional, and genuinely fun to work with. From the beginning, we felt confident that he understood the kind of night we wanted. Our music taste was all over the map — traditional Chinese music, ’90s emo, K-pop, country, and classic wedding dance floor staples — and Dan somehow made it all feel cohesive. He took our requests seriously, read the room beautifully, and kept the dance floor packed right up until the end of the night. He was also an excellent MC and audio professional. He helped us with some custom audio requests during the ceremony, we had no issues with mics or sound at all (I was worried) and during the reception, he kept the timeline moving, made announcements at the right moments, communicated well with our planner, and brought the perfect amount of energy without taking over the spotlight. As a stressed out, perfectionist bride, I had no worries with Dan. We could not have asked for a better DJ!”

“From our first call with Ben, we knew we would be in good hands for our September 2025 wedding. After briefly discussing the type of music we love, Ben immediately understood our vibe and listed off several other artists he correctly assumed we were fans of. Leading up to the wedding, he was very easy to communicate with, taking time to understand what we were looking for and the different vibes we were hoping to create. We were impressed with just how well-versed he is in different genres of music. On the wedding day, Ben brought that same positive and energetic energy, which made our wedding so special. We trusted him 100% with the party he was creating, and he did not disappoint! We also rented a photo booth from NT Weddings which was, of course, a total hit. (photos attached). We feel so lucky and appreciative to have found Non-Traditional DJs!”

“I found Gerald and The Plus Ones here on Zola, and from the first time I saw a video of Gerald playing the acoustic guitar, I knew I wanted him to play at my wedding. He has the most amazing voice and acoustic song selection, which perfectly matched the vibe we were looking for during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Communication with Gerald was incredibly reassuring, he was always quick to reply, offered great ideas, embraced our vision, and was genuinely excited to play at our wedding. Luckily, he also has an incredible band playing with him, which made our reception complete! Their song list had exactly the 70s and '80s/funky vibe with a touch of '90s millennial classics that we wanted for our party. They kept absolutely everyone dancing - from my 5yo nephew, to my mother-in-law and her friends, to our friends. Plus, they will learn any five specific songs you want for your day. As a Brazilian, it was really important to me to bring some Brazilian music elements into my wedding day. Gerald learned a Bossa Nova song for when we walked down the aisle and included several other tracks during dinner. On top of that, because my husband is Jewish, we absolutely had to have the Hora. The Plus Ones delivered it with mastery! It was so fun and exciting, and everyone had an incredible time, it was definitely a highlight of our day. Thank you, Gerald and The Plus Ones, for making our day even more special! We are so happy we booked you guys.”

“Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.”

From the moment we contacted John, he completely destroyed our anxiety about the music area of our wedding reception; hopping on a call that week and talking to us about our dream vision and what our favourite types of music are. He plays that guitar like nothing we've ever seen before, and 10 days later our guests are still talking about him! My friend Dan even booked him for his wedding lol He did an incredible cover of 'Perfect' by Ed Sheehan that he wrote specifically for us; with some unique instrumental tappy stuff I didn't even know one guitarist could do. It made our first dance so much more special than having a backing track like we originally planned.

James Labrosse is a talented musician who delivers enthusiastic and memorable performances from his headquarters in Brooklyn, NY... I have had the opportunity of providing live guitar music to weddings now for 10+ years now. It is a privilege to me to make beautiful music on such a special and sacred day. I'm an NYC local musician. I've studied extensive Spanish (Flamenco) guitar in Spain at a young age and also have a degree from Berklee College of Music. I am available to perform during your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, engagement party, rehearsal dinner. I can bring microphones for the vows and speeches.

“I highly recommend James as a guitar player for your wedding. James had excellent communication from our first email. He shared what to expect on the day of our wedding and was very accommodating, answering our questions. He showed up on time and was very professional the entire time and was so friendly and happy. He played songs as our guests walked in, and then played a few processional songs that we selected from a nice list he provided. He took cues very well from my day of coordinator, and played the exact songs when we needed them to be played. During cocktail hour, he played songs from his repertoire that matched the mood very well. He played a gentle mix of classical, flamenco, jazz songs (maybe more genres!) As a solo musician, he doesn't take up a lot of real estate but he made a huge impact. We had multiple guests throughout the evening tell us how wonderful James was, how much they enjoyed his music. My husband appreciated that James is able to play his music on his own - he didn't use a background track to play on top of. James is also very gracious and kind. It's obvious that he takes pride in his work. I would not hesitate to hire him again for any future events.”

We met with her in person beforehand and discussed all things music (and life). We felt completely at ease working with her and had so much fun in the process. She completely understood our vision and made it a reality. We cannot recommend her highly enough. All of guests raved about the music at our reception. Nicole is amazing!”

After years working at a luxury entertainment design company in NYC, I noticed a void in live music, one where planners saw music as the background to the main event rather than something that can guide and elevate it. The bands weren’t listening to the room. We should make deliberate music choices based on the people in it, reacting to them. Not the other way around. My desire to create this harmony sparked the founding of Honey+Vinyl in 2013. Ten years in the industry, she began to dive deeper into the science of sound; how lighting, décor, food and timing interact with music, which drove her to establish the Sonic Sommelier™ service.

“We hired Honey & Vinyl for our wedding and liked them so much we had them back for our anniversary party. Honey has an amazing voice and spent time with us to not only create a personalized song list but also understand the "mood" we were trying to create for our events. The group's performance at both events was nothing short of spectacular and really added the extra "wow" we were seeking.”
