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.

Great experience!

The timing and execution of the music for the ceremony and the first dances during the reception were great. His planning process was thorough, and the communication before the event helped the day run smoothly. It was nice to have a mix of chosen songs and reliable DJ choice playlists for dinner, etc. On the day of, neither myself (the bride) nor the groom had to do anything or worry about anything related to the music or PA. I would 100% recommend DJ Ben for your wedding!

Amazing DJ

We had such an amazing experience with DJ Ben at our wedding reception as our DJ and MC. He kept the party going all night, played all our music requests and knew the exact types of music to play for our guests. He was easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and his online music programming system is so easy to use. Would highly recommend hiring DJ Ben for your wedding!

Made our wedding night the party of the year!

We had reached out to Dk Ben to do the music for our ceremony and reception. Given that music was my most important addition to my wedding, I knew it had to be a good dj. Ben did not disappoint! Our family raved about the music and professionalism he displayed throughout the night! He was even so generous as to honour rates given that we had booked almost 2 years in advance, and offered a discount when a freak accident occurred during our ceremony. None the less I would have never known there had to be some compromises made to salvage a low speaker battery, I carried on like the happy bride I was! Highly highly recommend!!!

In tune the whole day

What can I say, but he was fantastic. DJ Ben did our ceremony mic and our reception and was fantastic the whole way. Communication was fantastic, an online song request list was convenient and ensured no mistakes were made with our selections. We have an ethnic family and DJ Ben was able to ensure songs we wanted were played and the entire family enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend! A++ service!

It was absolutely great working with Ben. He was flexible, even played a bunch of polish songs we asked for. All of our guests were up and dancing all night. Would recommend!

Dj for wedding ceremony and reception

DJ Ben was amazing.!! We were married at tunnel Mountain. Reservoir then had our reception at The Moose Hotel and Suites in Beautiful Banff on May 14th 2022. DJ Ben did the music for both the ceremony and reception and did an exceptional job. Right from when my wedding planner booked him to when he sent us the info on how to go through the songs and make must play list to do not play list. Very professional and he makes it very easy to ensure that we had the songs we wanted to hear at the reception as well as the songs we needed for the ceremony. He kept the dance floor full the whole night.
We would recommend him all day long.
Tamara and Jaro.

Best Wedding DJ!!

Ben was simply amazing - he read the crowd and knew what to play to keep people on their feet. Moreover, I appreciated that he made sure to include some of our requests. Would recommend to any friends and family who are looking to have their wedding in the Canmore or Banff area. Dancing is one of the best - if not the best - part of the reception, and you want the best in the DJ booth. Don't look any further - book him!

DJ Reception

Ben Dj'd our wedding reception April 8, 2023 in Banff, AB. Ben was really easy to work with when planning our music and schedule for the evening. He was also flexible when our reception schedule required a few unexpected pivots.
