Trusted NYC DJ & Event Services

For over a decade any event I have helped plan, I have always recommended David Swirsky’s company, Expressway Music. Why? Because hands down, David and his team are simply the best in NYC. They continuously offer exceptional service at affordable prices and are wonderful and communicative to work with. I have asked Expressway to provide classical musicians for a 30-minute ceremony, followed by a funk band and then a DJ, as well as DJ services and a drumming circle for a Bat Mitzvah. He delivers seamlessly every time, effortlessly switching between musicians and DJ services. Need wedding ceremony coordination; the Expressway Music team will make it happen, in the cost they quoted you. I have worked with Expressway extensively on same-sex weddings and as soon as they became legal in NYC, they got the lingo down for man/man or woman/woman events and made me feel comfortable recommending them to my same-sex couple clients, who didn’t receive as gracious a welcome from other vendors. All my clients who worked with them directly, have had nothing but rave reviews about their experiences as well. Expressway Music’s DJs are always professional and have the amazing ability to read a crowd and play the exact right song, at exactly the right moment. Something I rarely if ever see other DJ’s do. I personally, while working, have gotten so caught up in the great time they are creating that I have forgotten to take notes! At the end of the day, what you need in a DJ company is great service, amazing music and good booking communication. Expressway Music nails it, every time, for over a decade; on hundreds of events has been my experience. Artistry’s Patron would only benefit from having Expressway Music as a preferred vendor.

I have known David and his company, Expressway Music for as long as I have been in the business, which is close to 20 years now. His professionalism towards his clients as well as the vendors he works with is hard to surpass. David and his DJs are not only experts on how to throw a great party (I have never had a client who did not rave about his services) but they also do it with an enormous amount of pride, respect and kindness. They always make sure that they comply with all of the house rules, they always call ahead of time to make sure that the schedules match up, they load in and out in a timely manner and their equipment is superb. They leave no room for mistakes! I know that I am in for a good, fun and easy night when I know they are coming! That makes a planner’s job so much easier and the party a definite success! I am happy to recommend David and Expressway Music to anyone! He is a gem! I call him my favorite DJ in NYC!

We really enjoyed working with DJ Greg. Expressway Music was very easy to work with and very responsive. We discussed our preferences with Greg and he created exactly what we wanted. Some of our international guests asked if he was a celebrity DJ!! We highly recommend using Expressway Music for any events.

DJ Dave is a rockstar! I recently hired Dave to be the DJ at my birthday party, and I couldn’t have been happier. When we were first looking in vendors, I reached out to a few dj’s and spoke with them. They were all very nice, but I felt most confident about DJ Dave and his commitment to customer service. He was the first to respond despite his very busy schedule and also had a warm and friendly persona that made me want to work with him. He listened well to what I was seeking in terms of music etc, and he followed up to check that things were going according to plan. He also did not hesitate to offer his professional opinion on what he felt would work, and it turned out that he was right on all counts. He knows his music and can read a crowd that can only come with years of honed experience. The party was a blast thanks to his contributions. Would not hesitate to hire him again. You should hire him too!!

David did a great job as DJ for our party. From the beginning, he listened to what we wanted, made good suggestions and put together a nice play list for candle lighting ceremony and was did just the right amount of directing the party and hands off to let things develop. Would highly recommend him and his service.

What a treat working with Expressway Music! We were working on a tight budget and reached out and initially couldn’t afford the first DJ but then Dave worked with us and found someone who was willing to and let me tell you, DJ Sergio was a freaking hit! Everyone was raving about him after the reception! Sadly, being the bride, I was in an alternate dimension because of adrenaline, so I barely remember anything from that night but I do know that he was prepared, communicative and so fun! He checked out the space a week or so ahead of time too which felt reassuring to us. He even played a song (or two) after the last song (and the party had ended) because everyone was having such a good time and wanted it to continue! I really can’t express how many guests told us how great and fun DJ Sergio was , after the day was done. He also had a ton of profesional equipment and we literally didn’t have to worry about anything. Expressway also has a client portal to upload music which is nice! There was a 50 song limit which, of course, makes sense because that’s a ton of music but I wanted to add a million lol. Regardless, he picked great music and it was a blast!!!

Going into our wedding planning process, music and the dance party were top of mind for me. I had a vision of all of our friends and family mingling on the dance floor and we needed a partner that was going to make that dream come true. Working with Expressway Music and DJ David was a top-notch experience and he made sure that our party was everything we wanted and more. From our first call, David brought a personal touch to the proceedings and truly sought to understand what we were looking for at our wedding. Expressway Music isn’t just limited to music, as he was also able to bring a photo booth, which was a hit with all of our guests throughout the entire night. David’s planning portal and process helped us to maintain the level of control over the music we were looking for, while also relying on David’s years of expertise throwing the best parties. We were able to indicate which songs were a must, which were a maybe, and which we definitely didn’t want to hear. From there, during our final planning meeting we went through these selections so that he could craft the final product. And it worked out perfectly — our dance floor was never empty and our guests left raving about how good the music was and how much fun the photo booth was. If you’re looking for a professional to bring your event to the next level, we highly recommend Expressway Music.

It was great meeting you and working with you on our event. The guests loved the music selection and the violinist, who played along with you, was killer. It was nice to be able to rent the uplights too. I’ll definitely be adding Expressway Music to our recommended vendors listt as GPJ and IBM. It was a blast and thanks again!

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!
