About Dan Ross

Dan Ross

DJ

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.

I got my start in NYC’s nightlife scene, holding down residencies at bars and clubs across the city. That foundation sharpened my ability to read a room, keep a crowd moving, and adapt to any vibe — all of which I bring into every wedding and private event I play. Outside of live gigs, I’m a Senior Producer on the DJ Mix team at Apple Music, where I collaborate with world-class DJs to shape global programming. That work fuels my passion for discovering new sounds and sharing them in ways that bring people together.

    The Perfect DJ for Our Non-Traditional Wedding

    Dan absolutely understood the vibe we wanted. We had guests with all kinds of musical tastes, and somehow everyone felt like the music was for them. Seeing our friends spill back onto the dance floor after dessert was one of our favorite memories of the night. Dan was organized, easy to work with, and made our Brooklyn wedding feel effortless. We’d recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing Brooklyn or NYC wedding DJ.

    Five Stars All Around!

    Dan made our wedding feel effortless. He was organized, professional, and played the perfect mix of music that kept people dancing all night. He was great at reading the crowd and made sure every part of the evening flowed seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a better NYC wedding DJ and would recommend him to anyone getting married.

    Best DJ Ever!

    DJ Dan was absolutely incredible, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started planning, Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly responsive, reliable, organized, and made the entire process seamless. He took the time to understand exactly the atmosphere we wanted for our wedding and brought our vision to life perfectly. On our wedding day, Dan did an outstanding job creating the perfect ambiance from start to finish. The music during dinner and reception was absolutely perfect, and once the dancing started, he kept the energy high all night long! Our dance floor was packed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how fantastic the music was and how much fun everyone had. Beyond being an exceptional DJ, Dan is simply a wonderful person and professional, personable, and genuinely invested in making your day special. He made everything feel effortless, and we couldn't have been happier to have him as such an important part of our wedding. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, dependable, easy to work with, and knows exactly how to create an unforgettable celebration, look no further than Dan. We highly, highly recommend him. Thank you for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

    Wedding Coordinator Approved!

    I hate when vendors review say that a vendor went above and beyond, but it's not a cliche if it's true. For the wedding we did together, Dan really did go above and beyond. Months before the wedding, he hopped on a call with me to review the floor plan because I had never worked at the venue before, and he had. He also knew to build in extra setup time because of the single, painfully slow elevator. His preparation is incredibly thorough. Beyond providing a detailed questionnaire for the couple, he patiently answered my many emails as we collaborated on a timeline that had to accommodate countless moving parts—including six speeches! When a last-minute issue came up on the wedding day, he adapted seamlessly without needing any direction from me. He simply saw what needed to happen and made it happen. And once the dance floor opened? I wanted to stop working and join the party. Dan is the definition of a team player. He genuinely cares about creating the best possible experience for his couples and the vendor team alike. He is organized, adaptable, and knows exactly how to keep the party going.

    Dan killed the entire night. He played the best set I’ve seen at a wedding (so happy it was ours). Couldn’t recommend him enough!

My background is rooted in NYC's club and nightlife scene, where every crowd is different and reading the room is everything. Years of performing in packed venues taught me how to recognize the right song at the right moment, build energy naturally, and keep people on the dance floor. I bring that same instinct to every wedding, pairing thoughtful planning with real-time adaptability to create a celebration that feels personal, seamless, and uniquely yours.
Every wedding package includes professional DJ and MC services, premium sound equipment, wireless microphones for speeches and toasts, planning assistance, timeline coordination, and unlimited consultations leading up to your wedding. I also work closely with your planner, photographer, venue, and other vendors to ensure everything runs seamlessly.
Absolutely. I can provide music and sound for every part of your wedding day, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to dinner and an unforgettable reception. I'll help coordinate music cues for the processional, recessional, grand entrance, first dance, parent dances, and any other special moments.
Absolutely. Every wedding is different, and your music should reflect that. You'll have complete input on the artists, genres, and songs you love, as well as anything you'd prefer not to hear. Together, we'll create a soundtrack that feels uniquely yours while leaving room for me to read the crowd and keep the energy flowing.
I'm an open-format DJ, which means I seamlessly mix across genres based on the crowd and your preferences. Some of the styles I regularly play include Top 40, Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, Disco, Motown, House, Dance, Afrobeats, Latin, Reggaeton, Funk, Classic Rock, Throwbacks, and more.
Preparation is only half the equation. Reading the room is just as important. I pay close attention to the energy on the dance floor and adjust the music in real time, knowing when to build momentum, when to switch genres, and when to bring back crowd favorites. Every wedding is different, so I never rely on the same playlist.
Yes. My MC style is polished, professional, and never over-the-top. I'll make important announcements, introduce key moments, and help keep the evening on schedule while allowing the focus to stay where it belongs—on you and your guests.
I typically arrive 2–3 hours before guests begin arriving, depending on your venue and setup requirements. This allows plenty of time for setup, sound checks, and coordination with your planner and venue staff before the celebration begins.
Yes. I provide professional sound equipment, wireless microphones, and everything needed for excellent audio throughout your wedding. All equipment is maintained and tested before every event to ensure reliable performance.
Yes. I'm fully insured and can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) to your venue upon request. Many venues require this, and I'm happy to coordinate directly with them if needed.
Absolutely. While I'm based in New York City, I regularly perform throughout the Tri-State area and am available for destination weddings as well. Travel fees may apply depending on the location.
Once your date is secured, you'll receive access to my planning process, including questionnaires, music planning, and timeline assistance. We'll stay in touch throughout the planning process, schedule a final planning meeting before your wedding, and make sure every detail is finalized well before the big day so you can relax and enjoy your celebration.
Absolutely. Reliability is incredibly important to me. I bring backup equipment and cables to every wedding, and I always have contingency plans in place so your celebration can continue without interruption if the unexpected happens.
Definitely. I believe the best weddings happen when vendors work as one team. I'll coordinate with your planner, photographer, videographer, venue, and other vendors to make sure every announcement, special dance, and major moment happens seamlessly and on schedule.
Yes! In addition to professional sound and DJ services, I offer elegant uplighting and a classic mirror ball to help transform your reception space. Whether you're looking for a warm, romantic glow during dinner or a fun, high-energy dance floor, these enhancements add an extra layer of atmosphere without overwhelming your venue. I'd be happy to recommend options that best fit your space and vision.
