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.

    Best DJ around!!!

    As a planner, I've worked with countless DJs and I can say with 100% certainty that DJ Dan is one of the best around! We recently worked on a wedding in LIC and the vibes were unmatched. Dan kept the dance floor on fire with banger after banger. Not only that, but the entire planning process and finalizing phase before wedding day was so seamless and smooth. He's also incredibly experienced, offering insight that you didn't know you needed about how to keep guests engaged and dancing (at the right times too!) while sticking to your favorite songs and genres. The music for the evening flowed effortlessly with each song getting you hype while staying on track, and easily switching up the vibe by reading the dance floor but based on your music parameters for you as a couple and your day. One of the best investments you can make for your wedding is a great DJ, and I highly recommend making that DJ Dan - you won't regret it!!!

    Will keep guests dancing all night!

    Working with Dan was a genuine pleasure from start to finish. He brought such an easy and kind approach to every conversation, problem solving ( sorry for wifi!) making the whole process feel collaborative rather than transactional. He really devoted himself to understanding the vision of couple and helped coordinate the music flow so it felt seamless throughout the reception. His positive energy and good music selection kept guests engaged and dancing all night. I loved working with him and will absolutely ask for his services again for my future events.

    Dan Rocks!

    Dan was absolutely wonderful to work with! He was responsive, flexible, and just incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. He really knew how to read the room, followed the crowd’s lead, and kept the vibes going all night. Everyone had such a great time, and Dan was a huge part of that. Would absolutely work with him again!

    the best!!!

    We truly loved Dan! Working with Dan Ross was on of our favorite decision for our wedding day. From the initial planning stages through the reception and party, his communication was seamless. Dan is a real professional, he's really cool, authentic, and isn't your classic wedding DJ. Dan has a genuine understanding of music and knows how to read a crowd, which resulted in a great dance floor our guests couldn't stop raving about him, and even my musician dad gave his stamp of approval! He was an amazing MC - not corny at all which we were nervous about. He knew the second to start playing certain songs, and just made the night seamless. He came prepared with everything we needed and wanted - disco ball, lights, and created an atmosphere for all ages that felt effortless and fun. If you're looking for a DJ who's organized, reliable, and actually gets it, Dan is the best!

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.
