DJ Dan Fudim 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Port Reading, NJ
  • 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.

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.

I have had incredible experiences working with Bonita Sound personally and professionally. Jordan's communication style is easy, comfortable, and attentive.

When I hired All In Entertainment, I had multiple options to choose from; however, Anthony's energetic and relatable personality and his knowledge and expertise was what made me choose him as my provider for DJ services. When the time came for my wedding day, (we DIY'D everything) so naturally we ran entirely behind schedule! That's when my DJ Mike SAVED the day along with my photographer and they basically took the coordination of placing the guests in and out of the appropriate rooms and they even helped me make a candle light outdoor ceremony look even better. Mike was exceptional, he confirmed that all the songs that were specifically requested for the ceremony and introductions were played and he went over them with me to make sure that he had them correct AND HE DID! Anthony ABSOLUTELY killed it with the intro remix I requested! Overall it was a great experience from booking to the actual day of the event. Thank you All In Entertainment and team! The Darby's

WOW, SPECTACULAR, AMAZING, FANTASTIC…These are all words we would use to describe Chris and all of Limitless Entertainment. We had the pleasure of booking Chris for our wedding during his busy schedule and we could not have made a better choice. He made sure we had everything we wanted and more!

I have always envisioned my wedding day with a violinist playing during the ceremony. Before I walked down the aisle I could hear the violin and the song I envisioned walking down to. Hearing the violin in that moment drew tears to my eyes because it was better than I envisioned it. It was one of the best decisions I made on my wedding day. The violin made our ceremony beautifully emotional, raw, and alive. It added a depth that truly brought a lifelong dream together perfectly. I would highly recommend.

Our DJ company starts with vibing with our clients. We feel that is really really important. By taking the time to listen to your vision with a quick chat we can tell a-lot about each other and see if we are a match. Picky sometimes to a fault we realize every couple is not our couple and do not just book couples just to fill the calendar. Thats not fair to either of us. At the end of any event we usually are good friends and miss talking to each other. You wouldn't have it any other way.

Franklin & Alison Music In business for over 20 years. Not an agency, just one band to provide you with personal attention to detail and tailor the music to your needs and likes. I love to help couples pick out the songs for each wedding, everyone is different and we like to be creative.

Awarded Best of Zola
I will just start by saying that hiring the Franklin & Alison Music Band was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding on 5/18/24 at the Atrium of Tenafly! We received so many compliments from all the guests for the quality of the live band we had; and to our joy, the dance floor was always brimming with people. We happened upon the band’s website via The Knot’s suggested music provider list and absolutely loved their sample videos, songs, pictures, and testimonials. From the get go, Laraine was a pleasure to work with - always clear, on point with her answers, considerate, personable, and compassionate. We spoke at length via several phone calls and email exchanges about our history as a couple and our music preferences and then we met in person to go over all the details and narrow down the list of our favorite songs, She paid close attention to the pronunciation of names, nailed the parent dance song suggestions and the timing of the different reception activities. Then Laraine, Keith and the band did an amazing job at compiling an extremely successful playlist customized to our wedding. Katrice’s voice is stunning and so versatile, Sam was the perfect host, Keith was just so fun to chat with, and everyone in the band was just phenomenal! We all had a blast and I couldn’t recommend Franklin & Alison Music highly enough! Hands down the best decision ever!

My husband and I love to dance and have a good time. When talking to Sal at Pure Event our biggest request was to have good music and have people on the dance floor all night - and they succeeded. The team was so good at matching the vibes and interacting with guests the right amount. One of the highlights was Steve our live Sax player who played along with everything that came on and got in the mix on the dance floor. Highly recommend Pure!

These guys work very very we together. I hired them as a photography and videography team and when they said they also offered DJ services I jumped at the chance. They gave me the DJs contact info and I was able to talk to them directly. On the day everything went exactly how we talked about it. The photographers and videographers came early and the DJ came early for the ceremony and at that point we just joking around having a great time with the photo and video guys. Reception came around and it was a blast, I wished it never ended. I don't think anybody sat back down except for food. I would refer these guys to anybody who is looking to just forget about yesterdays problems and live in the moment.

Keith Franklin Jazz Group

  • Offer

I’ve done over 1000 weddings , club dates and concerts we tailor the music to suit your event . Trio consists of piano , bass and drums . We can add on a trumpet and female vocalist as well . Male vocals are also available

Due to being able to save a decent amount of budget money on various other parts of our wedding day, my fiancé (at the time) decided that we should get some live music for our wedding if we could manage. After some careful research, I happened upon the Keith Franklin Jazz Group. After speaking to the band manager Larraine, and explaining our needs, she suggested that instead of the wedding band that they normally send to weddings, we hire the jazz band. Then she invited us to come see the band play at the Witherspoon Grill in Princeton NJ. My fiancé and I loved them and decided that their vibes were exactly what we needed for our wedding reception. Larraine was phenomenal to work with and she was gracious and patient with me despite the fact that I was losing my bridal mind and dropping balls everywhere in the chaos. She suggested that we get the regular 4 piece jazz band and that we add a horn and a second voice (a male vocalist to duet with the female vocalist) to it. She also had their sound engineer come and set up the speakers and microphones. She was absolutely correct in all her suggestions, and the band absolutely made our night. It wasn't overly loud and was in fact very relaxed and romantic, and the vibes were immaculate. People did dance to the music sometimes, but mostly everyone just sat back and enjoyed themselves in the amazing ambiance. They were perfectly suited to our venue choice, and there was absolutely nothing they could have done better. It's definitely not the norm to have a jazz band at your wedding, but trust me, it's a fantastic choice and was by far the best choice for us, and also well within budget. Thank you, Keith and company, for such a wonderful night! If I could remember everyone's names, I would call you out each by name because you were all so wonderful and absolutely made our wedding day the best it could possibly have been!

Awarded Best of Zola
The short version of this review: if you want the music at your wedding to be awesome and exactly what YOU love to hear, and without cheesey emcee vibes, hire Marcus! Marcus did such an amazing job DJing our wedding, we couldn’t be more thrilled. He is extremely thoughtful with his work. He took careful note of my husband and my musical tastes and preferences, as well as the vibe of our wedding, instead of playing a standard tired playlist. Per our request, he blended in some Latin music seamlessly. The dance floor was full and lively all night long, exactly as we had hoped for! He played songs we hadn’t requested but that we love, leaving me wondering how he could have known so well what to play. He also respected our “do not play” list, as I found out multiple guests requested songs on it and he politely declined. Marcus is very thorough and organized which made working with him so easy- he was on top of all the details, order of events/cues, even reviewed proper name pronunciation with us in advance. The event manager at our venue said she loved working with him and was very impressed. Marcus has such a kind and warm personality, and a really special talent- we feel so lucky that he was part of our big day!

We hired Zach back in April to DJ for our 10th year anniversary party. We bought out a restaurant so we had the celebration split between a cocktail hour, dinner and then dancing after dinner Zach asked us for a list of songs/playlist for our songs, and we gave him 2 sets: One for cocktail hour/dinner and one for the dancing section. The vibes were amazing during the cocktail hour and dinner. My parents personally loved some of their very own favorites playing as we were all chatting and having dinner. Once the dinner service ended, music transitioned into Disco/Salsa/Merengue and it was great to see our friends jumping from their chairs and into the dance floor. We’ve heard nothing but great compliments from friends and family on the music and vibes through the night and the great pickup during the happy hour! We’ll be forever thankful for your help in making the night a memorable one for us and our loved ones.

Austin was absolutely amazing! We hired him about a month out from the wedding after our previous guitarist cancelled on us. Despite how last-minute it was, he dove in head-first, learning the music we needed him to learn, accommodating our requests, and being flexible with our questions and changes. The music itself was played so beautifully (it brought my now-husband who never cries to tears!!) and perfectly, it felt like we hired him a year out as opposed to only a month. Thank you, Austin, for stepping in when we needed you and helping make our ceremony that much more special!

Book this band if you want the dance floor PACKED throughout the whole reception, and for them to bring guests to tears during the ceremony. They brought the energy all night long and played exactly the style music we requested the entire night. They were nothing short of phenomenal and we got so many compliments throughout the night and after the wedding. Highly highly recommend! Bachelor Boys Band was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and helped us to create the perfect arrangement of musicians throughout the whole wedding - ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.

Working with Philly Custom DJ was a blast. I wanted to give a special shout out to Adam in particular. He went above an beyond to make our wedding day special.
