DJ Dan Fudim

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Derby, CT
  • Offer

With over 10 years spinning in NYC’s hottest venues, I’ve mastered creating unforgettable moments. I started in nightclubs where reading a crowd is everything. Now as Resident DJ at Raising Cane’s Times Square, I bring that energy to weddings and events across the city. What sets me apart? I don’t do cookie-cutter. Every event gets custom music, premium sound, dynamic lighting, and photo booths that capture the magic. My approach challenges the typical “wedding DJ” formula. You get a true artist who understands how music moves people, backed by technical skill and genuine passion. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Dan, I felt this incredible sense of calm. I’d been told by others, “Your DJ will just do whatever they want”, but I quickly learned that Dan is different. He listens, really listens, not just to what you say, but to the things you don’t even realize you’re communicating. He takes those details, both spoken and unspoken, and uses them to craft a wedding experience that feels so personal, you’d think he’s known you for years. Dan’s kindness is the kind you feel, not just in the way he treats you, but in the way he treats your day. He takes his job seriously because he understands it’s not just about music; it’s about moments. And he works tirelessly to protect those moments. There are countless things he does behind the scenes that you’ll never even know about, all to make sure your day runs smoothly and exactly how you dreamed. Our wedding was especially tricky as we were blending Italian and Egyptian traditions, and I wasn’t sure how to make it all flow naturally. I told Dan how important it was to represent both cultures equally while also capturing us as a couple. He didn’t just nod and say, “Got it.” He researched. He planned. He asked thoughtful questions. He made sure every transition made sense, every song had a purpose, and every moment felt intentional. With Dan, you’re not just getting a DJ. You’re getting a guide, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely has your best interest at heart. You can ask him about things that have nothing to do with music— timeline issues, vendor suggestions, tricky wedding-day logistics—and he’ll give you honest, experienced advice because he truly cares about the big picture, not just his part in it. On the day itself, Dan wasn’t just playing music. He was quietly orchestrating the energy of the room. He made sure our guests were always engaged, that the dance floor was never empty, and that the flow of the night matched our personalities. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how perfectly the music blended our two cultures and one friend was literally Shazamming song after song because every single track was that good. Also, if you’re debating about a photo booth, DO IT and book it through Dan. The quality was insane. Everyone loves a photo booth, but these were hands-down the best photo booth shots we’ve ever seen at a wedding. Other agree.Crisp, vibrant, and so much fun—our guests are still raving about them. Dan sends you all the photos taken throughout the night and my husband and I keep going through them. It’s so fun to see our guests having a great time. Dan wasn’t just our DJ. He was our advocate, our cheerleader, and our behind-the-scenes hero. If I could give him 100,000 stars, I would. If you’re lucky enough to have Dan Fudim available for your date, book him immediately. It will be the best wedding decision you make.

DJ Rubin and David W. were both amazing! David was very accommodating and has a vision in capturing what he wants. The package was reasonable and it was beyond everything we expected and more. DJ Rubin was praised by not just us but by all the family there for being engaging and being able to blend both old classics with new modern Pop music along with EDM and a little bit of DnB near the end of the night. As a fellow raver, he understood what we wanted and was very thoughtful in his song selection. He was also teaching people how to dance on the dance floor to keep the crowd engaged, participating and enjoying themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if our family wants to hire him and his team in future events because of how unforgettable the reception was for our wedding.

DJ Konsept 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Derby, CT

As a veteran DJ with 20+ years of experience and 250+ weddings, my goal is simple: to create a sophisticated, custom music program based on your personal tastes. My attention to detail takes priority—I coordinate all audio logistics, from timeline planning and music curation to day-of run of show. My rate is all-inclusive: Speakers, wireless handheld/lavalier mics, travel, setup, and up to three distinct sound stations (Ceremony, Cocktails, Reception) are included at no additional cost. We are experienced in providing on-site support for ceremony officiants and readings, ensuring perfect sound where you need it most.

I can honestly say that Edwin is one of the best wedding and special event DJs I have ever worked with or witnessed. He has collaborated with my company, Caliber DJs for over a decade doing primarily weddings at very high end venues all over Napa, Sonoma and the greater Bay Area. Every single time he's knocked it out of the park. His immediate responsiveness, his meticulous attention to detail, his ability to solve problems in the moment and his cool, calm and collected attitude when on the job are all qualities that, in my opinion, put him far above and beyond the skills of most other pros out there. I have also seen him DJ first hand many times, and when I tell you that the dance floor is burning UP every single time... It really is an absolute pleasure to work with him and I would highly recommend DJ Konsept for any wedding, private event, fundraiser, birthday party or soiree that is in need of the highest quality music selections as well as friendly, non intrusive MCing and masterful mixing.

DJ Pat was a pleasure to work with for our August 2025 wedding! He was extremely prepared throughout the entire day and made sure to provide extra microphones, as well as extras to the extras, in the event they were needed. We shared with Pat that my mother has a tremor and he provided us with mic stands for the speeches so that she would feel completely comfortable the entire time. He transitioned our ceremony music seamlessly and thoughtfully, and never failed to communicate with us throughout the day as the timeline changed. Inevitably, our timeline fell slightly behind, and Pat was flexible with his set to keep people dancing for the entirety of the shortened reception. He made sure all of our 'must-play' songs were played and ensured our 'do not play songs' were not. We loved his lighting setup and could not have asked for a better experience.

Working with Scott and his band was the best decision we made on our wedding day. We had a very specific vision where we would have a jazz quartet during the cocktail hour and have the pianist and bassist play classical music during the cocktail hour. While this was an atypical setup (usually Cello and Piano), Scott's band was up to the challenge and they absolutely nailed it! I even got to get up and sing a Sinatra standard, and play a tune on trumpet with the cocktail band to my now wife! What great energy the group had, they welcomed me in with open arms and smiles, and we really couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

John from elation Entertainment did an amazing job as the DJ for my backyard wedding in September. He was on time, set up with ease, and the quality of his music and announcements was perfect for the outdoor venue. Not to mention that he stayed in constant communication with me for over a year to make sure all of my requests were fulfilled. He truly made sure that my day was worry-free and kept all of our guests on the dance floor all night long!
