"Dano" Blankowski
Celebrationist
“Exciting,”
“Versatile,”
and “Professional” are the words his clients use to describe
DAN BLANKOWSKI.
Also known as “Dano” at his parties and on the radio, Dan has been entertaining
at weddings and other private parties for over 20 years in Pittsburgh, Orlando
and now Atlanta.
Whether you’re planning a wedding reception, business function or
neighborhood party, Dano brings a unique energy to the event – combining an
incredible choice of customized music with his dynamic personality.
"My strength
is my versatility – to be able to play the ‘cool,’ yet appropriate music at an
elementary school, then serve as master of ceremonies and ‘party host’ for an
elegant wedding reception,” Dano explained.
Because of
his popularity, Dano has become Atlanta’s most exclusive DJ/MC, and
parties usually need to be booked over 6 months in advance.
His corporate
clients and event planners enjoy using Dano because of his professionalism, and
the ability to handle ANY situation in a cool, calm manner with an upbeat
attitude.
“Ask me about
the day I met Conni, and you’ll understand,” he laughed.
INTERACTIVE
has become Dano’s trademark. Whether it’s running a hula-hoop contest, teaching
line dances, or turning the bouquet & garter toss into a hysterical
extravaganza, he creates an upbeat, positive energy seldom seen at a party.
No worries ….
No hassles … because pre-planning is another one of Dano’s strengths. “I want
the music to be exactly right for the client and the guests, and the
party’s schedule to move smoothly.”
His
peers honored Dano as President of the Georgia Mobile DJ Association. The former
Executive Producer of the “Steve & Vikki Morning Show” on WSTR-FM (Star 94) in
Atlanta, Dano performs voice-over work for radio & TV commercials around the
country. He has been awarded a prestigious “Abby” award for excellence in
commercial voice-over work.
A native of Pittsburgh, Dano grew up with wild and fun ethnic
weddings, and still dances a mean Polka! He’s a graduate of Duquesne University
in Pittsburgh.
In his
“spare” time (ha!), Dano dominates on the golf course and the bowling alley,
while being dominated by the kids on the PlayStation! He also writes, and enjoys
a bizarre attraction to TRIVIA!
