I couldn't be more displeased and upset with booking DJ AFINO AKA- Dave Brennan for my wedding. I had booked him for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception he didn't showed up until an hour before the reception ended 6 hours later then promised in the contract. My parents had to pay the venue for an extra hour just so we could have some time for dancing. He stated he had the music ready for the wedding the night before in a playlist but none of that music was ready and he was scrambling to play it that day playing whatever he could even music we requested not to be played. He was not dress for a wedding he was wearing a tee shirt and cargo shorts. Multiple guest told me he seemed messed up on something and freaking out and just not there mentally. Now its been 2 1/2 weeks later and I'm still trying to get my refund he promised that night. DO NOT BOOK HIM FOR YOUR WEDDING HE RUINED MINE! More...

Dave from Afino Entertainment dj'ed our 10 Year Anniversary party in Brooklyn. We found him on a services website and chose him based on his soundcloud music. He has a good style including EDM and blended in our request for some salsa, pop and hip hop. We loved his very easy steps of requests, payment and a phone call to go over final plans. He used 17hats.com which was an easy way to keep things organized. He was great on the day-of, he read the room and kept everyone dancing. His price was absolutely reasonable. We highly recommend Dave for your event. More...

Dave dj'd our 50th HS reunion in October and did an absolutely fantastic job. He was very easy to work with throughout the planning and on the day of the event. Dave got to the venue early and was set up and ready to go before guests started arriving. He set exactly the right tone and really helped to make it a fun and memorable reunion. We gave Dave a 60s playlist as a starting point and he provided us with the soundtrack of our high school years. It was perfect! More...

We had a complete ball at our wedding and I think the music was spot on and catered to every age group. Even my Grandmother was dancing! Don’t think there was ever a time where the dance floor was empty so thank you so very much. The night flew by. We aren't huge dancers, but we were that night. Dave answered all my crazy questions at all hours of the night promptly for 2 years straight while planning this wedding. From the first phone call I knew he was our perfect fit. Dave is very thourough and you can tell he loves what he does. His suggestions for the evening for our bouquet toss, shoe game, and anniversary dance were all a huge hit.
Thanks so much for all your efforts at our wedding. Was truly the best night of our lives. We had a fantastic night and the music was exactly what we wanted. You did a great job!
We suggest Dave at Afino Entertainment for any event! He is the best!
Love,
Ashley & Stephanie

The song you recorded for your first dance was incredible! Both of you are so talented and you chose to express your love for each other in a way that inspired us all.

In my culture, we celebrate the 15th birthday, but I had so much fun that day, that I may just have to convince my husband to throw our only daughter a Sweek 16th just to have him back! More...

Martiza, thank you so much!! It means so much to me that you recognized all of those things because we truly care about making every event a unique and customized experience for any groups of guests, any culture, and any list of music! You have such a beautiful group of friends and family. I felt a wonderful energy that day, from the attention to detail you incorporated into the decor and the timeline itself, to the rehearsal of her and her friends choreographed performance, it was all incredibly perfect! and no worries, we can get a photo together at the next event! : ) Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special celebration. I hope that you continue to have a great year and that you and your family continue to experience peace, love, happiness, and good luck in all that you do!

Afino Entertainment and specifically Dave Brennan is the ultimate professional Party DJ. He DJ'd our daughter Kayla's Quinceanera at the Fountain in Middletown NY, and made it a fun night for all to remember! You will not find another DJ who will take care of all your party needs and or last minute requests. He left not only an impression on us but with our guests, vendors, and the staff at where we had our event. Everyone had great things to say about DJ Afino he made quite the impression. Most important my daughter's Quinceanera was made memorable thanks to DJ AFINO. In her own words all the kids said "THAT DJ was LIT". Once again Dave thank you for your services and making our princess night spectacular! We appreciate it and we definitely recommend you to everyone! Thanks! Santiago Family More...

Dave was great from start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and very responsive to any of my questions. From the customized slide shows, to dancing on the clouds, to my custom light logo on the wall, he did it all. He knew exactly what music to play based on the questions he asked me and also played some of the Greek music I requested, the crowd went NUTS and are still raving about him. I will definitely use him again for any future events and I highly recommend him. More...

Afino Entertainment was absolutely amazing!! Dave was extremely helpful since my wife and I were not sure what a typical wedding format was. His online form not only helped us pick the songs we wanted, but outlined what the entire night would be like. One of the extras that is a MUST is the uplighting that he provides. It is well worth the price and made our wedding night that much more special. Dave was also very personable and flexible and is probably one of the best DJs for weddings in the tristate area.

Q&As

Every detail is important. From the start of the event to the end, there should be a consistent flow of entertainment including great song selections. Each audience will enjoy a different mix of music. Each audience will enjoy a different level of energy. These factors should be determined prior to, and also during the event.

Our style changes depending on the occasion and the response from the guests. We're trained to quickly adapt to the circumstances to provide an experience that is accepted and appreciated by that particular audience. Sometimes the "style" is romantic, cordial, and family-friendly.. sometimes the event requires an entirely different style to entertain that particular group of guests. Every event is different. Each event is unique.

Being a musician for over 15 years, music has always been a passion of mine. Being able to take information from a conversation with someone, and then deliver an entertainment experience using music and equipment for their special event is like making dreams come true. Our goal is to provide everyone in attendance with a moment where nothing else matters except that they are having a good time with their friends and family.

I had originally worked with a company for 2 years and quickly became the top requested DJ. Unfortunately, the owner of the business was telling lies to employees and customers, and after months of waiting for a change, I had to make the decision to leave. I applied at other companies, but ran into similar situations. That is simply how the business came to be. We wanted to provide the same services we were already providing, without needing to work with, or work for, people that were lying and taking advantage of others. To provide great entertainment, it helps to keep a safe distance from malicious people, especially in this industry, where unfortunately it seems to remain prevalent.

We devote 100% of our time and energy into making sure that every customer has every one of their needs met. We have a detailed planning process that determines what type of services they want and the equipment needed to make it happen. We offer professional recommendations based on years of experience, and we're open-minded when it comes to requests we've never heard before. If it works, we add it to the list of options. When it comes time to plan a wedding, an event, or any other special celebration, it's important to remember that there was a lot of hard work and preparation leading up to this moment. The customer deserves to have an experience that will put a smile on the face of every guest in attendance.
