Client Feedback
“Benjamin and his team were thorough, professional, and refreshingly reliable. They handled sound and lighting for a large public event and took the time to walk the site, plan the setup, and make sure every logistical detail was covered. Having Benjamin running point lifted a big weight off my shoulders.”

"We had the best experience with Ben as our DJ for our wedding. He met with us beforehand, listened to the playlist we wanted, played every song we requested, and then mixed it up perfectly to keep the party going.
He brought lights for the dance floor and created such a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Everyone had a blast. He was engaging, professional, and exactly what you need for a wedding. He helped make every moment memorable and even joined in to get the party rolling with dancing and singing.
Ben also DJ’d a huge Fourth of July block party for our neighborhood, and he absolutely rocked the whole event while we watched fireworks from our front yards.
I highly recommend Ben for your next party, wedding, or major event. You will not be disappointed. We’ve already asked him to be our DJ again for our second wedding celebration in Florida with family, and we’re so excited to have him be part of it."

I had the great pleasure of working with Ben, and he is a fantastic DJ with the skills to get any dance floor moving. He is fun, fresh, and knows how to bring energy to a party.
Ben worked with me at the Forestville Club in Northern California and was always professional, reliable, and on time. I will miss working with him, and anytime he is back in the area, I would be happy to have him back at the club.
I highly recommend Ben for anyone looking for a DJ who can keep an event fun, upbeat, and professional.
