Meet Dan

Joanna Fisher Photography

Dan has been involved in the events industry before his teenage years even started.
At the age of 8 he was best known as "The Great Gombolini", entertaining the young and old with magic shows and balloon animals.
He quickly graduated to becoming a mobile DJ at the ripe age of 13, specializing in Sweet 16's (thanks to MTV's "My Super Sweet 16").
During a high school summer job at an off-site catering company in Westport, Dan asked his boss what event service was going unfulfilled. "Lighting and decor" was the answer.
Dan met his now wife, Danielle (formally a wedding planner in San Diego), at the Engage! Grand Caymans wedding conference in 2015. She moved from California in 2016 and now owns and operates specialty furniture rental company Gather and Lounge!
Fast forward to 2019 as they celebrated the birth of their daughter, Riley and then in 2022 their sweet son, Asher.

Shindig Lighting’s strength comes from the relationships forged over the past decade and the personalized touch- through our hard working event crew- that comes with a boutique company!
