Ben was great. He came to the event location a week earlier to make sure everything was going to work out. He showed up early to set up the day of. The timing for our ceremony music was right on queue. He politely took requests from our annoying guests!! Thank you, Ben!

DJ Ben was an incredible find! He was responsive from my first request for an estimate. We communicated frequently up to the date of my son’s wedding reception. I connected him with my son and his fiancée to discuss the details and they had the same positive experience. The day of the event DJ Ben was there waiting for us and extremely accommodating. He helped create a memorable day and celebration for our son and his bride. I would definitely call on DJ Ben if we had another in the Santa Barbara area. Thank you so much! 😊
