Our Reviews

DJ Sergio was our DJ for our June 14 wedding. We looked into Expressway Music after reading the rave reviews on Yelp. We pretty much decided that we were going to work with them from our first contact. Everyone we spoke with at Expressway was extremely professional, and as a type A person I absolutely loved their process. The wedding day forms and music library on their website make it so easy to express the vibe you want for your special day. We loved Sergio right away. We had some pretty set ideas of what we wanted. He was very open to incorporating all of our requests and his calmness and professionalism helps to make you feel that everything is going to be great the day of. And it was! He remembered everything and incorporated everything that we had asked (and even picked up on the hints of what we didn’t want–which is equally as important!). He even played a song that my father mentioned in his toast immediately following, which was such a wonderful and sentimental touch. Many of our guests were wearing sunglasses so he played a snippet of “sunglasses at night,” which everyone has mentioned to us as being very cool and fun. We have received great reviews about the music, including that it got everyone from all ages dancing, it was a blast, and that they were so happy to hear their request played. Following the wedding we received a nice email from Expressway Music (owner Dave) thanking US for everything! We would strongly recommend Expressway for your event! Thanks so much Sergio!

Dave Swirsky is just unreal. He was so wonderful to us for our wedding from the day we met him/signed with him, up until (and well after) the wedding. Our wedding was on the UES and Dave understood that the venue was a classic one, but that our guests still wanted to dance their hearts out. He didn’t disappoint, but also didn’t try to make the evening/venue something that it wasn’t. Every song was perfect – many of our friends who are very picky about music asked for his info after the wedding. They were so impressed that he was such a great compliment to the evening. He didn’t stick out as many DJs tend to do when they come in with huge setups and crazy props. Very understated and still an amazing MC. He was so sweet and easy and dealt with our requests like a star. He setup beautiful music for our cocktail hour and dinner which had swing. big band, and golden era classics and was easily able to transition for dancing to all of the current hits that everyone wanted to dance to. We love Dave – we can’t wait to work with him again and we just can’t say enough. Thank you for making our evening so wonderful and for being so great to work with.

What can I say about DJ Swirsky that hasn’t been said! He truly is as good as it gets! Before Dave, my fiancé and I interviewed eight different DJ’s in the tri-state area (no, that is not a typo.) We both come from families who have musical backgrounds in one way or another and had a clear vision of what songs we wanted played at the wedding and how we saw our special day going. During our meeting with Dave, he helped us feel at ease and reassured us that our vision would be made a reality, and he delivered! Not only was Dave and his staff courteous and professional, the whole night’s music was incredible. There was a big mixture of ethnic and cultural backgrounds at our wedding, and we truly believe Dave played the right songs at the right time, setting the tone for an amazing afternoon of fun twirling, jumping, shaking, and dipping. He managed to get everyone on the dance floor and it seemed like they never left. Dave is a rolodex of knowledge when it comes to music of all different styles and genres. Choosing a DJ was a stressful experience until we met Dave, who’s talent and charisma made the whole wedding flow flawlessly. Highly recommend!

My wife and I hired Expressway Music to DJ our wedding and they brought the whole event to the next level. Dave kept people on the dance floor all night. His ability to read the crowd and remain flexible in choosing songs ensured that our reception was a true party – I’ve never seen so many people constantly dancing at a wedding until ours! He was extremely receptive to our personal tastes in music and was happy to take song requests in the moment, which also made our guests very happy. There wasn’t a moment in the night where an unpopular song was played and the transitions were so natural that we barely noticed them. Everyone should hire Expressway Music for their next event – they will make it truly memorable.

We used Expressway to DJ our wedding ceremony and reception last week at Perona Farms in NJ. David Swirsky was wonderful!! He showed up to our venue 2 hours in advance of the start of our ceremony to set up and he did a fabulous job! He spoke with my husband and I in advance of the wedding and really took our wants and likes into consideration. He made sure to play almost everything on our request list. Expressway’s database to customize a request list is quite extensive! David did such a professional and expert job of combining the tastes of all of our guests as It appealed to all kinds of musical interests and balanced English and Spanish music. Our guests, particularly myself, danced the entire night!! Everyone truly enjoyed themselves and commented afterward how much fun they had. David is such a professional and kind guy! He had just as much as fun as we did and It showed!!

Dave is a wonderful DJ – the dance floor was mobbed – he accommodated guest’s requests and he was great to work with! His assistant, Charissa was also terrific to work with leading up to our wedding. We were thrilled with the way it all turned out and the music really made it very special!! Can’t recommend Expressway Music enough!!! Thanks Dave for helping to make our special day so memorable!!

Expressway Music was recommended by our venue, but we still interviewed several other DJ companies (to be sure) and it quickly became clear that Expressway was absolutely the best option. DJ Dave (the owner) and his assistant Charissa aren’t a huge company, but that means you get extremely personalized care and service – you’re not one of many customers being passed around to any available DJ – you’re working directly with your DJ on every detail of the event. Dave has so much experience, we felt completely comfortable in his hands and were happy to take his recommendations on things like lighting, microphones, and speakers in the different spaces of our venue. We had only a few months to plan the whole wedding so it was invaluable to us that he knew what he was doing – and he knew the space and other vendors very well. The planning (2 in person meetings and various emails), the contract/payments, and the day-of went so smoothly! Most importantly, Dave had the perfect energy for the event and was constantly reading the room to make sure people were having fun and dancing the whole time.
