Brian Herrity
To see Brian Herrity now, you might have a hard time imagining him in high school, playing in a punk rock band. This clean-cut and polished MC/DJ, who is equally comfortable performing at a wedding as he is at a nightclub, spends an inordinate amount of time prepping for his events–curating each playlist with precision and passion. One of his favorite parts is mixing in some of the greatest songs that most people don’t realize they want to hear. While we don’t have an official name for these types of songs yet, we can describe them as the “OMG-I-forgot-how-much-I-love-this-song” songs. As Brian puts it, “You know the music that everyone expects to hear so it’s fun to balance it out with some songs that are a little less expected, but get just as big of a crowd reaction.”
That attention to detail and love for his craft can be traced right back to high school and his band. That group of kids took themselves seriously, and approached each show accordingly. Brian would painstakingly arrange the set list, factoring in the venue, the demographic, the time of night, and even who was performing before and/or after them. Even as a teenager, he understood that placing each piece of the puzzle in the right spot would lead to a great performance and, more importantly, a great experience for those in the crowd.
When asked where he got that sense of the moment, his answer was clear: his dad. Watching how his dad hosted family, friends, and neighbors throughout the years taught Brian something valuable. “I learned how much joy it brings me to help others,” Brian explains, “and when you put people first, things usually work out for the best.” Brian also credits his family for exposing him to eclectic and diverse music when he was a kid. It’s allowed him to feel just as confident playing yacht-rock as he is playing a full futuristic-vintage electronic set.
So if you’re lucky to have Brian Herrity at your event, you can trust his years of experience, his passion for music, and his earnest desire to make every moment count. It’s his tried and true method used to deliver incredible memories for everyone in attendance. Oh, and be sure to ask him about the name of his high school band. It’s just as amazing as you would expect it to be.

What Clients Say About Brian
“Hi Sue!
Brian was great to work with last weekend! He was very helpful in making announcements and checked in with me throughout the event. I don’t know if he mentioned it, but several of the groomsmen were very late (like 20 minutes from the ceremony start time!).
Brian was really flexible and adjusted quickly to help get us back on track and make sure Tina and Shoa still had plenty of dance time. And their group had a BLAST on the dance floor!!! I think he’s a great addition to your team! 🙂
Thanks for checking in!”
Kristy, The Mountain Terrace
“Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for all your help! Brian crushed it and we are happy to leave a review, let me know what website(s) would be most helpful. Is there a Venmo or Zelle account that we can send a tip to for him?
Thanks!
Yelp Review: Brian was our DJ for our wedding and he crushed it! I had very specific music instructions and they were followed to a tee. Sue was kind, flexible, and easy to work with. Would highly recommend working with them for your wedding or event.”
“Hi Dan,
Brian was great.
He ended up being used more as background music in the dining room and towards the end of the night he was playing to an empty room as all of the guests were congregated around the bar in the main clubhouse.
He was easy to communicate with and we would love to have him onsite again for future events.
Thanks Dan, hope you had a nice weekend.
Final stretch this week, before the holiday break!
Kind regards,”
Meghan Nicholson, SF Giants

It’s your biggest fan again. We (The Walt Disney Family) had our holiday party last night at the GG Yacht Club. We loved the playlist the DJ was playing! It kept the vibe fun the entire night.
Just wanted to pass along the feedback.

“Hi Sue
Thank you. Everything turned out perfectly! Love the DJ and he played all our songs. Then when guests also requested other songs he played those also. It was a hit! Brian was perfect.
He was so very polite and knew what he was doing. I will definitely be calling again one day. I don’t have anything to complain about It was FANTASTIC! I thank you so much!
Thanks,”

“Brian was amazing and did an excellent job! He was great at all the announcements and working with the team on requests etc. The event was a huge success. Lots of people dancing, and the compliments on the event are flooding in. Please tell him thank you so much! He was a pleasure to work with.” Devin
“Hi Sue,
It was great! DJ Brian was awesome! The venue was small so we didn’t have a dance floor this year but that didn’t stop him from keeping the party going all night!
Thank you for always providing us with exemplary service! See you in 2025!
Thank you,”
