Wedding DJ service

DJ Ben did a fantastic job at my daughters wedding. It was a very small group of us and he had us up dancing and enjoying the evening. He had a great selection of music and did a fantastic job being our MC for the evening. He was very professional and was easy to work with. The communications before the wedding regarding the music selections, were very easy and straightforward. His dance selections were completely what we expected and he read the crowd very well. Ben brought some uplighting which was a fantastic addition and added a great ambience to the room. We would HIGHLY recommend him for DJ services. Well done Ben and thank you again for a fantastic job :)

Dj ben is awesome!

We’re so grateful for DJ Ben! From our first conversation to the end of our wedding, he was incredibly responsive and genuinely caring. Having our wedding at Viewpoint #5 in Kananaskis, Alberta, came with its challenges, especially with the weather, but DJ Ben was flexible and ready for anything.
He arrived early and set up on time, even prepared for a little light rain. DJ Ben’s timing was impeccable for everything—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and after-party.

We got an upgraded package, and he added colored lights that created a fantastic atmosphere during the reception and dancing. We loved that he also had his own screen and projector so we could share our pre-wedding pictures and video presentation with our guests.

He played all our requested songs, including some Filipino tunes that were really important to us.

Throughout the planning, we had several phone calls to discuss our concerns about the weather, and he always reassured us, making the whole experience stress-free.

DJ Ben stayed until the very end, ensuring everyone had a great time. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ—he truly made our day unforgettable!

Best Wedding DJ

DJ Ben exceeded our expectations!! We had him as our wedding DJ and everyone had an amazing time. He reached out a few weeks prior to the wedding to coordinate some of our special requests (Hindi/Marathi music and a smash up for our first song). He acted as our MC and did an amazing job coordinating with the event staff to keep things on track. We are so grateful he was a part of our special day and cannot being to thank him enough. Everyone cannot stop talking about how much fun they had at the reception, and DJ Ben is a huge reason why the night went so well! He was recommended by our wedding planner and we are so glad we went with him. You are in good hands if you choose DJ Ben for your event and music/entertainment will not be something you have to worry about.

Exceeded Expectations

DJ Ben did an amazing job at our wedding in Canmore. We had Ben play music for our ceremony, dinner and dance. He was able to read our music tastes with only a few requests given. Ben kept the dance floor going late into the night.
We gave Ben MC duties and he went above and beyond. He interacted with guests and played a fun game for the order in which guests went to the buffet.
We recommend DJ Ben for your wedding!

Awesome DJ

DJ was really easy to work with. He was quick with responses, provided an easy to navigate website to provide all details he required for the day/evening, and offered great advice. Our guests really enjoyed the music, always somebody on the dance floor. 10/10 - would recommend!

The day flowed so easily and Dj Ben kept the vibes high. No request was too hard for Ben and all our guests spoke so highly of how good he was.
The dance floor was bouncing! Highly recommend Ben for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed 😊

Played our song requests and made the whole pre-wedding process easy!

Ben was the DJ for our wedding on Saturday in Canmore and did a great job! Prior to the wedding he was very responsive and made it easy for us to specify what we wanted, including sending around a form for us to put our top song requests.

We were so impressed by all the music timing being spot on based on what we had asked for, and his selection of songs for the night (built around our requests as well as our guest’s requests). We had a great time, as did our friends and family! Would definitely recommend DJ Ben!

Excellent Experience

We are so grateful to Dj Ben for the services he provided at our wedding. He completely exceeded our expectations. From the pre wedding meeting he organized, to helping organize our guests for photos; and of course his excellent music selection helping to keep the dance floor going all night long. We were very impressed, and so were our guests.

Fantastic DJ

DJ Ben was excellent at our wedding! We got married in Canmore at Stewart Creek. He was familiar with the venue and did a fantastic job! He was very professional and we did not have to worry about the music at all. We were able to request songs ahead of time and he also took requests during the event. He also volunteered to help with a name that song game to determine the table order for the buffet which was so much fun! We highly recommend DJ Ben for your wedding!

Hire DJ Ben! You will not regret it!

If you're looking for a wonderful, professional, fun, efficient DJ, Ben is your guy. From the planning process (we worked without a wedding planner) through to the last dance of the night Ben was perfect. His planning forms are so easy to work with to send him your song selections, and wherever we gave him free rein to play music as he saw fit, it fit our vibe like a glove.

Being a couple of non dancers ourselves, we weren't really looking at the dance part of the night as the main event, but Ben was so good it ended up being just as fun as the rest of the day. He had our parents dancing, and our incredibly shy 6 year old nephew had so much fun he even took a turn on the dance floor encircled by all our guests.

Ben is responsive, kind, and so good at his job. He even stepped in as emcee for us during dinner to take the pressure off our family and friends, and he did such a good job. He was attentive, hit every single one of his cues, and adjusted as necessary. Our reception ran so smoothly and working with Ben was such a pleasure, he really helped make the night fun and care free for us and our family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
