DJ BRENNAN SULLIVAN
Recognized as a versatile and dynamic entertainer, DJ Brennan Sullivan has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings and The Knot, and has received more 5 star reviews on Wedding Wire from his clients than any other DJ in the region. In addition to wedding receptions, he has performed at everything from small private parties to large corporate functions, and brings over 17 years experience to bear.
From a young age, Brennan has been an avid enthusiast of dance music and stays current on what's hot (and what's not) through following the local club scene. This knowledge of music and a keen musical ear (honed through years as trombone player in a jazz band) combined with an instinctive ability to 'read the crowd', ensures a packed dance floor at his events.
Brennan is always looking for creative ways to present music to guests, and has developed the ability to mix and transition smoothly between songs and genres. Knowing not only what to play, but when to play it, is one of the key things that sets him apart from other DJs. For those clients who want a twist on current hits, Brennan can seamlessly work in mash-ups and remixes as well!
A theater-trained actor, Brennan has worked in numerous live productions, and brings a strong, polished stage presence to his events (but NOT overbearing!) As an MC, he has a smooth and clear, radio- quality voice (but NOT cheesy!) In fact, he prefers to be more low-key and 'in the background' once the formalities are done, letting the music speak for itself.
Brennan's ability to adapt to different settings - knowing when to get the crowd into it and when to dial it back and let the music take over - are all part of his dynamic approach to each event. In addition to adjusting his MC'ing level, he is meticulous in sending clients forms to help them plan out all the particulars of their event well in advance.
By working with each client to plan things like the speech order, special dances, and music selection, Brennan is prepared so that things run smoothly on the event date. This level of detail ensures that even clients without an outside event planner will feel comfortable knowing that he is 'on the ball'. On the day-of, he works in tandem with the vendor team to keep things running smoothly.

“We hired Brennan Sullivan for our wedding/reception. I am soooo glad we were able to work with him. Our day was wonderful! Brennan struck a perfect balance as a DJ with the music, as an MC for announcements, transitions ......basically everything. Prior to the wedding, Brennan worked with me and our wedding planner to ensure a perfect wedding. The day flew by, but from what I can remember and from what my friends and family have told me is that every element of our wedding/reception was amazing! And Brennan was a huge part of that!”

DJ BRENNAN SULLIVAN REVIEWS
“Brennan is AWESOME and was so great to work with! From the start he was very responsive and accommodating to any need we had. He helped us with crafting our playlist, was able to work with our venue to coordinate our audio, wireless microphone and lighting setup, was on point with all music transitions throughout the night, and kept the party alive. Brennan was always prompt with email responses and helped us create a wedding timeline so our music flowed smoothly from start to finish. Brennan even was able to grant our distinctive requests of specific Greek & Persian music we sprinkled into the ceremony and reception. Most notably he kept to the timeline, while keeping music rolling without interruptions. He blended music from different genres for all to enjoy keeping the mood up. I would highly recommend using Brennan for your wedding as he ensured that everything was set so that our day would be amazing. The dance floor was packed the entire night because of his skills reading off of the crowd. Countless numbers of our guests kept mentioning how great the music was! Any of our last minute adjustments were never frowned upon and changing something was as seamless as shooting a quick email and trusting that it was taken care of. He's extremely easy to work with and will take you through the motions while making you feel comfortable when everything else leading up to your big day may be getting chaotic. If you're looking for a fun, personable, and respectable DJ - look no further! FLAWLESS Execution Brennan :) Thanks again mate.” - Dino (WeddingWire)
“DJ Brennan was fantastic from beginning to end! We are an interracial couple, and I really wanted someone who would mesh both sides well, in terms of what my husband's irish family and my black family typically dance to at weddings. Brennan did a fantastic job! He played all our must plays, and was even paying attention to make sure we were there when he played them. We got great feedback from our guests that they loved him as well. He also did great with some very difficult pronunciations. His timing was perfect as well - we gave him specific places to start certain songs for the ceremony, and it all went off without a hitch and was exactly what we imagined. Pre-planning was really easy as well, he gave us a ton of recommendations and was super flexible as things changed up until the wedding day. Don't hesitate, book him asap, he is great!!” - Elizabeth (WeddingWire)
“We hired Brennan for our wedding in November '19 and were absolutely THRILLED to have him. Brennan was super responsive from the very beginning, and sent us helpful materials (example playlists, example reception timelines, etc.) via email and asked tons of questions to help narrow down what kind of music we wanted. We ended up sending Brennan a list of must-play songs and artists for the dancing portion, and were so happy that he managed to play all of them (in a fantastic order, by the way) and fill the gaps with fantastic music of the same type/variety. People of all ages were dancing the whole time and everyone was raving about the music. I also appreciated that Brennan helped a ton with making sure that we had a reception timeline, and during the party he always spoke to my husband and me before making time shifts to make sure we were on board. We couldn't have been happier with the DJ, and note that my sister actually had Dan Goldman for her wedding last year (which is why we went back to this vendor because we had such a good experience) and the experience was equally fantastic. Thank you, Brennan and Dan!” - Brogan (WeddingWire)
“DJ Brennan Sullivan Made Our Wedding Unforgettable. My husband and I were very extremely impressed with DJ Brennan's performance at our wedding. He is a true professional, an incredibly nice person, and a very talented DJ. He attentively listened to the mood that we wanted to create at our wedding and took the time to explore and learn about each of our musical tastes and styles. He then delivered more than 100%. I have a very selective and eccentric musical taste and his ability to interweave elements of my style with popular hit songs in an almost seamless manner was truly impressive. He could "read the crowd," exceedingly well and select the precise combination of music to inspire, evoke emotion, and get the crowd to get up and dance. We had multiple guests mention that they had rarely attended a wedding which was more lively or in which almost all of the attendees danced! In addition, Brennan is very congenial, responsive, and an all-around pleasure to work with. I would strongly recommend DJ Sullivan for your upcoming special day!” - Oksana (WeddingWire)
“We planned our own wedding and there were very few things I could say was stress free, but working with Brennan was just that. He provided all the equipment and setup for both our ceremony and reception, which went off without a hitch. During the planning process he not only helped us refine our song selections, but was also invaluable at helping us design our ceremony and reception. He suggested special moments during the reception that we had overlooked and provided a list of song suggestions. His prompt responses to any and all our questions/last minute requests made working with him a such a pleasant experience. During the event, Brennan seamlessly transitioned the ambiance of the ceremony/reception from dinner to dancing and beyond. He was even able to get devout “non-dancers” on to the dance floor. We are so glad that he was part of our wedding and have already recommended him to our friends. Definitely on the top of our list if we ever organize another event!” - Julie (WeddingWire)
