Bar Mitzvah DJ

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?

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!

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.

Dear David and the Whole Team at Expressway Music. Our family was so lucky to have you coordinate all of the entertainment for Lexi’s Bat Mitzvah weekend. You pulled off two very different parties, with a hugely successful Bat Mitzvah luncheon on Saturday in a hotel ballroom and then an all-out fun restaurant dinner celebration on Sunday night. Every moment working with all of you has been pitch-perfect from our very first meeting. Benjamin the magician totally “wowed” the cocktail crowd, so they knew it was going to be an extraordinary night right from moment one. What a doll! Your dancers were extraordinarily professional- they got to know the Bat Mitzvah girl’s friends as well as the adult guests without ever being intrusive. I could write a whole note just complimenting them. Sergio played such great music that I danced with the kids awhile and they were all exclaiming that it was “the best Bat Mitzvah they had ever gone to”. I wish I could go clubbing with him every weekend! Out front with you the karaoke was a blast and my friends and family could not stop laughing, dancing, hugging, talking, taking photos. I know I was really specific about the music and you exceeded every expectation in every single regard. I am so glad that we have a video memory of the event AND photos, seeing it on the plasma screen TVs while it was all happening made it seem like we were at a really fun rock concert! Plus we got to go home with photos from your super-fun photo booth! so even while we wait for our stills, we already have the most hysterical photos- Lexi took so many with her friends and today they are already hanging up in her locker at school! And finally Daniel, was a treasure! He is the best friend that everyone must have at an event, exactly and totally there when you need him and just unobtrusive when you don’t. He has a personality that people just want to be around him and hang out with him, while at the same time he is smoothly moving everything along. The kids were raving about the trivia, all with questions about the Bat Mitzvah girl! He was an absolute delight to work with. I think the trick is that Expressway offers professional, truly nice people and together you are all totally focused on making every second of the party into a really magical time. We are getting non-stop calls and e-mails, everyone agrees it was just the most fabulous two days! Thank you for ensuring that the most important weekend for our family had the absolute greatest memories that we could ever ask for.

Dear Dave, I know that I already thanked you somewhat informally, but I wanted to sit down and write you a more “formal” thought-out thank you note. I just wanted to again thank you and your team for making Hannah’s bat mitzvah such a success. I did not have a big budget for the event, but I knew the dj would be the key, and I had to find the right one. I envisioned a unified party, from the grandparents to the kids. I was looking for someone who kept the party going but also did not blast the music so loud that people who had not seen each other in years would not be able to converse in the same room. I wanted djs who were not stereotypically cheesy, but who would keep the kids entertained. Again, I didn’t expect to have a lot of other entertainment or activities for the kids, so the dj had to hold their attention but not alienate the adults—or better yet, the adults would be motivated to join in. I did not know anyone who had used you, but reading online reviews and viewing your website made me think you’d be the right guys. Now, after the party, I know I made the right decision. I have received so many compliments from people of all ages. People implied that I must have given you a lot of instructions, but I said “not really.” Picking the right professionals is the key. Your entire staff was a pleasure to work with. From Charissa in the office to the dancers, Stevie and Julie, everyone was friendly and professional. You picked songs that ran the gamut, which is what we wanted, and kept things moving in a professional top notch fashion. Also, Daniel’s interaction with the kids hit the right note—he kept things fun, classy, and age-appropriate. I really don’t know how he learned so many kids names! I was very impressed with everything. Most importantly, Hannah had a great time. So, thank you! And please pass our thanks on to others on your staff as well.

Dear David, We Really did have a wonderful time. So many of Kobes friends (who are now JADED Bar Mitzvah-goers from having gone to way too many this year) said it was the best Bar Mitzvah they had been to. I’d love to think it was because Kobe was amazing or I gave a wonderful talk but I know that it was largely in part due to you being there. Thank you so much! B’shalom
