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.

Everyone at Expressway is professional and helpful and DJ Dieter is amazing! He was the DJ/MC at my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah party and he truly made the evening special. The kids loved him and it’s easy to see why. Many thanks to him and his staff for a wonderful experience.

Expressway DJ Dieter was the karaoke DJ for our wedding last May and was absolutely fantastic. I can’t imagine the evening being any better than it was. He’s super nice and professional and knows how to read a room like nobody’s business. He made sure he knew what we wanted and everything went smoothly. Worth every penny and highly recommended!!

DJ Dieter did an amazing job at our wedding reception. He promised us when we first met him that he only plays full songs and doesn’t talk unless introducing the wedding party which was important to us. He created the perfect playlist for our wedding based on minimal suggestions from us. We gave him a list and he organized it in a way that kept everyone dancing all night long! He played everything we asked and also honored our do not play list, to the point that he pulled me aside to let me know people were requesting one of my do not play songs and did I want him to play it or not! We cannot say enough good things about him and hope all of our friends use him so we can see him again!

Events Featuring Derek
Karaoke at Bridal Luncheon
Karaoke host Dieter turned a bridal luncheon in Westchester into a singalong. A daytime karaoke party is a relaxed way to celebrate before the wedding, and a good host makes everyone comfortable at the mic, even guests who swear they cannot sing. Dieter also hosts kids parties and corporate events. We bring the microphones, the lyrics screen and a song list for every taste. See our karaoke DJ parties.
Bat Mitzvah with DJ Dieter and Dancers
DJ Dieter and our dancers kept a tented Bat Mitzvah in the Binghamton, NY area moving. Dancers lead the steps, pull guests onto the floor and give shy kids someone to follow, while the DJ handles the music and announcements. We travel across New York for Mitzvahs like this one. See how our Bar and Bat Mitzvah dancers work.

Coke and Pepsi Game in Brooklyn NY
