DJ Dan Fudim

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

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.

Where do I even begin?? DJ Dan has been there for us and tirelessly helped us figure out the music, the flow, and the timeline. And everything went as planned and more! Dan is extremely dedicated to his work and clients, he cares so much, making this whole experience much more productive and wonderful. His team also executed so well that we had so much fun and never had to worry once. Dan made himself available whenever we had questions and I appreciated him offering moral support & guiding us through the stressful planning process. He’s a warm presence, a gem, a professional! Please don’t hesitate to hire him, he guarantees a great time! You won’t regret any bit of it!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired SDR to dj & mc our wedding cocktail hour and reception, and they delivered an excellent service! They got to know us and our needs beforehand, as we were looking to have a less traditional wedding (less performative moments, more dancing and fun), which helped create the atmosphere we were looking for. They payed close attention to the music we requested, using our playlists we created for cocktail hour and dinner while including their own flare that went perfectly with it. We left the dancing music to the professionals, and they delivered so well, keeping the dance floor full all night long. They also did an amazing job keeping us on schedule with our special dances and with the venues' meal times. I would absolutely recommend the team at SDR for your next event, even more so for a special occasion. They did an amazing job keeping the party going while honoring our personal style and expectations for the day. They were great at communicating with us throughout the process of planning, and were punctual with our schedule the day of. Our wedding was a success in our eyes, and we have SDR to thank for a lot of that.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first correspondence with Jeff, the following 100 of emails that I sent him, to the incredibly thoughtful execution on our wedding night- we can’t say enough great things about our experience with Mystic entertainment. Not only are we thankful to have a nearly perfect wedding but also had vendors that allowed us to feel like close friends throughout the process and on our special day. Jeff’s process is both thoughtful and intentional. Our interview with him was a guided conversation that provoked a lot of thought in what we wanted in our wedding. His gift upon contract execution was incredibly kind and made us feel like we won a bid and not the other way around. His responses throughout the process were timely and friendly- never allowing me to feel nervous about the millions of questions I had. Although we didn’t have all the answers at our final meeting- we didn’t feel in trouble or pressured to decide things on the spot. Jeff was patient and willing to assist us in deciding things at a pace that we felt comfortable at but also gave him time to prepare. On the day of our wedding and even conversations still following the wedding, everyone has said Jeff could read the room. He knew when to play a genre, how to transition to the next- and the selection was incredible. He even let me borrow a mic and sing to my guests when my favorite karaoke song came on! There was not a single regret choosing Jeff and Mystic entertainment for our wedding day and we hope this review allows someone decide it’s simply the best choice!

Ariana Strings was amazing to work with from the very beginning. From our first inquiry to our Zoom calls to pick the right package, Ariana made everything so easy and organized. She sent reminders, questionnaires, and covered every detail to make sure the music was absolutely perfect for our day. Every time we hopped on a Zoom, I left feeling confident we had made the right choice. We were married on 9.13.25, and having Ariana and her team there truly made the day feel magical. The addition of their production manager was such a bonus — everything was timed seamlessly, and it gave us complete peace of mind. Our guests are still raving about the music and how it added the most special touch to the day. We couldn’t be more grateful to Ariana and her team for helping make our wedding unforgettable.

Kevin's DJ set was awesome that several guests of ours who were planning on having a band at their own weddings actually changed their minds and decided to go with a DJ instead! The dance floor was packed the entire evening!

We got married in November at the Silver Bay YMCA, and we cannot recommend Scott and his team enough. We knew we wanted a live band for part of our wedding and they were the best band we could have chosen. Our first meeting with Scott we could tell he understood our wedding day vision right away and was willing to work with us on learning new music to fulfill our nerdy requests. For example the team learned acoustic versions of 90's alternative songs, and the groomsmen and bridal party walked down the aisle to Legend of Zelda, my wife walked down the aisle to Nightmare before Christmas, and then we recessed to Studio Ghibli. Cocktail hr, all our guests commented how amazing the band was and how they enjoyed the live music. If you want something different for your wedding, we were thoroughly impressed at the musical abilities and made our music dreams come true. Thank you to this very special team!

Going into our wedding, our main request of our DJ was to keep people on the dance floor as much as possible throughout the night, and Herbert certainly delivered. Guests of all ages danced the night away and one of our friends even split his pants open from dancing so hard! Herbert did an excellent job of integrating our requests and music tastes with the ebb and flow of the ceremony/dinner/dancing portions of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and very communicative throughout the whole process!
