Benny is the dj final boss@

After reading tons of reviews, we set up a call with Benny—and within the first five minutes, my wife and I knew he was our DJ. From planning to music to flow, Benny was absolutely on point.

My wife was pretty stressed throughout the wedding process, and every time we talked to Benny, he instilled so much confidence and calm. When the big day came, Benny was like the final boss—the vibe, the energy, the atmosphere were everything we dreamed of. The dance floor was packed from the very first song to the last, and even two months later we’re still getting calls from guests raving about how awesome he was.

We’ve been to a lot of weddings, but without question, Benny is the best of the best.

Are you looking for immaculate vibes? Then look no further than Benny G.

Benny helped make our wedding day more than we could have ever imagined it to be. From his attentiveness to detail from when we booked him 4 months ago, to his ability to read the room, make quick necessary changes, and seamlessly ace our pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception (PARTYYYYY) music vibes two days ago - I cannot recommend him enough. He should honestly charge more for his level of skill and professionalism!

Event of a Lifetime

Thank you, Benny for making our special day perfect! There are no words to adequately describe the experience of working with a consummate professional and maker of life long memories of your event like Benny Goodman of Goodman Entertainment.
My husband and I renewed our vows after 40 years of an unbelievably loving marriage. Since my husband is from Providence and is a musician, we had heard of Benny, his skills, and immediately contacted him.
Benny takes the time to get to know you and truly cares about the success of your event and ultimately the satisfaction of his clients and their guests. He understands how the music, entertainment and fun vibes impact every event.
Benny has the ability to make you feel very comfortable when communicating with him and especially at the event. His high energy and positive attitude and vibe make working with him like you are working with a family member that really cares.
When we entered the reception Benny played a song written by my husband called “Leaves”. It’s a beautiful instrumental song with a rock solo through the entire song. It’s what was played when I originally walked down the aisle 40 years ago. That in itself made our event for my husband and I. We never thought a DJ would allow us to play another musician’s unknown song, but in Benny’s usual positive style, he said “let’s do it”, with a huge smile on his face.
Then the reception. The music selections that Benny helped us chose were PERFECT and kept our guests dancing the night away. Our guests asked us where we found this awesome DJ that provided such great music and fun.
If you are looking for a DJ/Musician for your special event and are lucky enough to live in the areas where Benny provides his services, we highly recommend Benny! It will be one of the best decisions you have made in your lifetime and will clinch a successful and memorable event.

Dream wedding unlocked

I can't say enough good things about Benny! From start to finish, Benny really put his best foot forward with making sure we had the best time and a smooth flow from start to finish. From planning the lineup for the ceremony to helping us with a live performance for our introduction, he nailed it all! Need assurances? He's got you! He answered every phone call and question with ease and thoughtfulness. If you want someone with great insight and attention to detail, he is your guy! My guests are STILL talking about the wedding and I have a feeling they will be for years to come. I know that my husband and I will! He understood the assignment and executed with purpose and integrity. Book this guy now and save yourself a ton of stress!

Awesome Wedding DJ

We hired DJ Benny Goodman for our wedding and are so thankful that we did. DJ Benny is professional, present, and really cared about making our wedding what wanted it to be. From the music, the lighting, to the vibe, Benny brought his A game and our guests are still talking about it, not to mention that he played beautiful piano for our cocktail hour. DJ Benny was an absolute pleasure to work with and we cannot thank him enough! 5 stars

Thank you dj benny!

My wife charged me with finding a DJ for our wedding in Newport. After much deliberation, we ended up working with Benny Goodman who has a confidence and demeanor that is magnetic. I must have emailed/called/texted Benny 100+ times over the course of eight months and every single time he answered my questions and was available to walk me through anything we needed help with like a true professional. Our wedding was simply wonderful from start to finish, Benny helped create the perfect atmosphere and when it was time to dance he was a relentless in keeping everyone engaged on the dance floor and the energy at full speed. Benny is truly one in a million and I have already given his number to two of my groomsmen getting married this next year.

Benny is the Best DJ!!!

Benny is unquestionably the best DJ out there! My husband and I had our wedding at the Regatta in Newport with over 200 guests, and we needed someone who could really bring the energy. From our very first call with Benny, we felt completely at ease and knew we were in good hands. Over the course of 8 months, Benny proved to be the most responsive and communicative vendor we worked with. On the wedding day, he played piano beautifully during the cocktail hour and then kept the dance floor packed until the very end. We’re still receiving compliments about how incredible our DJ was. DJ Benny Goodman is simply the best!

It doesn't get any better with DJ Benny Goodman! Really!

There are tons of DJs in the universe but only one STELLAR DJ, and that's Benny Goodman!!

DJ Benny is second-to-none in my book when it comes to communications, setting expectations and execution of a wedding entertainment experience that you will never forget! Our son's wedding was amazing...and that's because DJ Benny delivered the ultimate wedding MC and DJ experience that only other DJs can only imagine...Benny is "da man!"

DJ Benny's superpower is simple, this guy knows how to "read the room" and creates the vibe to get everyone off their "asses and boogie"! From your teen attendees to your grandma in a wheelchair, Benny is sure to please!

Why? Benny is very meticulous in having consultations with his clients. I don't know of anyone that takes this approach as he gets into your mind to get to know you.

I can go on and on about this guy! But I'll stop here. As a highly busy business professional, the best compliment I can give Benny is to MAKE time and write this review for him. Benny, you ROCK, man!!

Hire Benny now for your wedding; you will NOT be disappointed. I guarantee it! Edgar from San Francisco!

Benny is the Best of the Best!

My husband and I are so thankful that we found Benny for our wedding last month in Newport. From the very first call, Benny instilled both confidence and excitement in us. I was overwhelmed by everything and when I spoke to Benny he always knew how to calm me down and figure out what I was looking for. When it came to the day of he was simply on top of everything. No one stopped dancing all night and Benny even had my little niece come and DJ with him...SO CUTE! Benny is the best of the best
