DJ Grateful Dan

I’ve spent close to 30 years behind the decks and have DJ’d more than 1,500 weddings. I’ve worked traditional, multicultural, religious, themed weddings, as well as Bar and Bat Mitzvah, unconventional and wonderfully quirky celebrations, along with major corporate, political and private events. I love the challenge of bringing very different people together through music. Every event is different, and my job is to listen, understand what matters to you, build the right musical experience, and keep the reception moving naturally. I’m just as comfortable handling the formalities and microphone as I am taking over the dance floor when it’s time to party.

Experience is the biggest difference: 30 years and 1,500+ weddings means I’ve seen just about every kind of crowd, tradition, venue and unexpected moment. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all wedding playlist. I customize music to the couple and their guests, can actually mix, build custom sets and edits, and adjust the music as the room develops. I’m also an experienced MC with a natural, professional alto/baritone voice: clear and confident without the cheesy wedding-DJ routine. My background includes 8 years with AEG Atlanta in a corporate entertainment environment, plus major corporate and political events.
