Steve did an amazing job!

Steve did an awesome job at our wedding! He was very easy to work with and would communicate with us periodically throughout the night to make sure everything was going the way we wanted and if there was anything we wanted to change or add. He kept people on the dance floor the whole night! I highly recommend him!

Working with Steve Bender was a great experience!!

We are so happy we chose Steve Bender as our wedding DJ! From start to finish, he made the entire process easy and stress-free. Steve was incredibly easy to work with—laid back, professional, and so accommodating, even with our last-minute changes. He incorporated every song and request we had and kept the night flowing perfectly.

The customer portal was such a great touch—it gave us song recommendations, let us create playlists for different parts of the day, and made organizing the timeline so simple. Steve also offered helpful suggestions for music and the order of events and worked seamlessly with our other vendors.

He had a great speaking voice, a warm presence, and was kind to us, our family, and every guest. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ, and we’ll absolutely be recommending him to friends and family!

Great experience!

Steve Bender was a pleasure to work with even when we were being difficult in how much control we wanted to have over the music. He was willing to work with us and explain the process and gave us three separate phone conversations or zoom meetings to help us understand. With our particularity about certain music selections and timings, Steve opted to DJ the wedding himself and we were not disappointed. We did not have to worry when we stepped out to take photos, and the ceremony went off without a hitch. We highly recommend Steve Bender entertainment for any DJ or MC occasions.

Wedding with Steve Bender

Working with Steve Bender as our DJ for our wedding was an awesome experience! We felt that Steve did a great job answering our questions leading up to the wedding and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted our wedding day to be like.

During our event he checked in with us multiple times to ensure the music was what we wanted. He truly elevated our wedding day and we are very thankful to have worked with him!

We would highly recommend Steve Bender Entertainment. The communication was great and we loved the easy to use song selector. Our DJ did an amazing job keeping the party going, playing everything we wanted, and playing every dedication we asked for. These folks are great!

Above and Beyond!

Steve was incredible to work with and went above and beyond for our wedding(s). Unfortunately, we had to postpone our first wedding reception. Steve was generous enough to offer to return for our out of state make-up reception free of charge. He was fantastic from start to finish at both events. We’re so glad we chose to work with Steve and will absolutely do so again if we need a DJ in the future!

Amazing Job

We absolutely loved having this company do our music for our wedding ceremony and reception. Loved the photo booth option as well. It was very sweet getting the scrapbook of all of the pictures from the booth and all the sweet things our guest wrote on it

Hire him immediately

We just had our wedding last night and I couldn’t wait to write this review about Steve! What an incredible night and amazing DJ. The planning process was so easy and working with him was so effortless and fun. His website was very user friendly and easy to use and Steve was great to work with from planning the music that I’d go down the aisle to what music played during dinner and throughout the night. I had so many people tell me they’d never seen that many people dance at a wedding before and I know it was because of all the great music Steve played. He took requests, played the songs we loved, didn’t play the stuff we hated and kept the vibes up all night. But the absolute best part was the very last song of the night. Steve organized for all of our remaining guests to get into a circle around us and sway while we danced to piano man in the middle. As huge Billy Joel fans that was such a fun moment and such a special memory we get to have! Thank you so much Steve for everything and anyone reading this review - hire him for your next event!!
