Melanie Kletter

David was wonderful to work with and we are so happy with how everything went at our daughter’s recent Bat Mitzvah. David listened carefully to exactly what we wanted – we wanted a fun environment, a lively hora, and music that was not too loud – and he provided exactly what we asked for. He was very responsive and always got back to me in a timely manner. I highly recommend David and Expressway Music!

Dave and his team were amazing at my daughter’s recent bat mitzvah. We had some very specific requests for what we wanted and he handled them all beautifully. We met numerous times throughout the planning process to make sure we were all on the page. The party was everything we hoped for and the dj was a big part of that. The Emcee and dancers were fun and great with the kids. It was a fantastic party and I’m so grateful to Dave and his team! Would highly recommend for a bar/bat mitzvah!

DJ David and MC Daniel provided the music and entertainment at my son’s bar mitzvah this past weekend. We had a blast and so did all of our guests. They kept everyone happy on the dance floor ranging from the kids to the grandparents and everyone in between. They read the crowd really well. I spoke with DJ David, the owner, before the event. He asked just the right questions to understand what sort of party we wanted and made specific suggestions to make that happen. He even recommended against an add-on item that would have earned his company more money because it didn’t match the type of party we were looking for. The communication with the team was seamless and always pleasant and professional. We could not have been happier with Expressway Music.

We used Expressway Music for my daughter’s bat mitzvah in September 2018 and Dave and his team were the best! I tend to be an anxious person and planning this event wasn’t easy for me. But every conversation in advance of the event left me at ease with my decision to hire Expressway and the day itself was amazing. Most important: my daughter and her friends had a blast. Dave is honest, kind, patient and fun. What more could you want for an event DJ?

Ruth and Michael

Thanks so much both for a fabulous party. We were very happy with the entire event – the music was great, Daniel did a fantastic job keeping the kids engaged and involved, we loved having such a large dance space, the kids were gloriously happy and the adults never stopped telling us what a great party it was!! So thank you for all you contributed. We agree about the space – it really worked out for us and the ceremony that we had downstairs was also in a beautiful space with huge windows and great views. Quite a few people have complimented Michael’s father’s speech – he’s 87 years old and a wise and thoughtful man so we were glad people got to see that side of him. Thanks again – who knows when we’ll have another event but we will certainly return to you if/when we do!

We had Dave DJ our son’s Bar Mitzvah party and he was SO WONDERFUL! Dave is warm and kind, easy-going, responsive and creative. He really listened to us and what we wanted to evening to be like. He was responsive to our son’s requests too. We asked him to work with an emcee who came from out of town, and who he’d never met before; he didn’t miss a beat. We gave him a list of songs, and he read the crowd perfectly, most everyone danced all night long. He also made the genius suggestion that we add karaoke, which was a real hit. The party was fabulous because he kept everyone dancing and having the best time! We loved working with Dave and I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Expressway Music is the best! At a recent bar mitzvah party I attended — DJ Dieter kept the kids entertained with a variety of cleaver interactive games, while at the same time mixing great music for the adults to dance to. Its a definite art — mixing music and keeping the kids happy — and Dieter ran a great party. Thanks for a wonderful and fun evening!

DJ Dieter was the DJ for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah on Oct 20th. The party was great and Dieter did an amazing job. We were so impressed. We met a few times before the party to make plans and I had to laugh, because I couldn’t believe how easy he made it and took so much stress away from the planning. My daughter sent him songs she wanted and he worked with her on themes of quiz questions (e.g., Avengers, etc) for kids. We told Dan the songs we wanted for each of the candles for the candlelighting and, I don’t know how these things work, but it all magically happened exactly the way we wanted. The kids and adults had a great time and I think the music and the loudness were perfect for kids to have fun and grownups to talk. The dancer was great. Everybody had a blast with the photographs and Charissa, in the office at DJ Expressway, was amazing in helping us with the montage. We were delighted as were our guests.

Cindy and Matt

Dear David and Daniel, This email is at least 24 hours overdue, but we were almost as wiped out yesterday as we were when we got home from the party Saturday evening, and this is the first time since Saturday that I feel as though my brain is functioning sufficiently well to send you this email. We are all so incredibly grateful for the job you two, and the motivators did in making the party SO MUCH FUN. We have been inundated with calls and emails since Saturday night telling us how super everything was, and you were signaled out all the time for special mention. Everything you did was right, from the tone Daniel set with the kids and the way you interacted with them, to Jesse’s music and the way he invited guests (including, it seemed, the entire boy contingent) to play with him, to David’s terrific mix of music, with current stuff blended in totally with older favorites. The hora was the right length and in the right spot, the trivia was well done. Mostly, though, thank you for how lovely you were with our daughters. Samantha and Charlotte, who, as I think you figured out, are very different, both enjoyed their time with you and felt incredibly comfortable with you. That’s a pretty significant fact for us. They both had such a good time, as did all of their friends and all of us, and we know that this is in large part due to your work and skill and the simply terrific job you did. We will miss being in touch with you, but Charlotte’s bat mitzvah will be here before we know it!! Thanks again, we really are so grateful.
