Finding a good DJ was one of the things that I was most anxious about before our wedding. I could not imagine finding someone better than Ben. I could go on and on about how great he was during the event itself (rave reviews from everyone in attendance, set the perfect mood and tone at all times, consummate professional etc.), but I was honestly most put at ease by the work he did with us before the wedding. His preparation was so thorough and thoughtful. He gave us resources to help us figure out what we wanted our day to be like and he absolutely nailed it. He sat down with us and answered questions, gave suggestions, and overall made our wedding so much better (and easier on our end)! If you need a wedding DJ just hire Ben and stop worrying about it.

We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! Ben really set the energy for the wedding and we couldn’t be happier. He was professional, timely and easy going. The way he arranged our playlist, added songs we didn’t know we needed and transitioned between genres was masterful. He delivered exactly what we asked for and then some. Highly recommend him for your wedding or any event you might have. The dance floor was never not packed the whole night.

Ben Goldfarb aka DJ Scribe of LoveJunkies was the perfect DJ for our 2024 Hudson valley wedding. He was recommended by our photographer and we were immediately drawn to his unobtrusive style (no airhorns and fog machines here). We were originally torn between band and DJ but after talking to Ben knew that we’d have much more control over the selection and variety/modernity than we’d get with a band.

He was extremely organized and detailed, sending us a spreadsheet to fill out that not only assured us that he had every detail and queue ready but also helped us to articulate the genre and vibe we wanted.

He had excellent communication and ensured that everything ran smoothly at our wedding. Most importantly, he kept the dance floor full the ENTIRE wedding and read the room so well, keeping the energy up during dinner and beyond. We got so many compliments on our music and it was so nice having someone we trusted so much for such an important aspect of our wedding!

Ben was referred to us by another couple who had glowing things to say about him, and we're so thankful for that. He exceeded our expectations. He's a true professional in that he knows exactly what music needs to be played to get people dancing, but also hits the perfect cues during the ceremony and provides a great atmosphere during dinner. Wedding planning can be very stressful, and Ben's professional and calming demeanor put us at ease.

Hiring Ben Goldfarb (DJ Scribe) of Love Junkies NYC was one of the best wedding decisions we made. We received SO many complements from guests young and old telling us that he “made” the wedding. We were so pleased with his overall performance. People I didn’t even expect to see dancing were letting loose and having the time of their lives at our wedding. It was an unforgettable party.
What caught our attention about Ben in the first place is his knowledge and passion for music. His own musical tastes are far and wide and align with ours, and we knew right away from his sample playlists that he was the one. So one of the key factors was that we could completely trust his taste. His competence and fluency in intergenerational music was one of the things that set him above the rest---we didn’t get this vibe from any other DJ found in our initial search.
For many months leading up to the wedding, Ben had meetings with us to go over what we were looking for and what he provides. He was always super helpful with a very chill demeanor that allayed our wedding jitters. Ben did deep research into our personal playlists we provided for him, so that he could capture the essence of what we like and expand on it. His DJ Worksheet is set up in such a way that he plays all of the requisite songs and compiles others for guidance. At the wedding he was right on cue with all of the announcements and sections. He’s been doing this for a long time and is very experienced, so everything felt smooth and under control. I highly recommend Ben if you are looking for an unforgettable night of great vibes and incredible dancing.

Ben at Love Junkies NYC was easily one of our favorite vendors we worked with for our wedding in Sep 2021. He was so responsive and professional and helped us navigate the difficulties of scheduling a wedding during the pandemic. We had to change our venue a couple of times, and Ben took everything in stride. He also helped seamlessly organize an indoor/outdoor and band/DJ hybrid set up. His method for working with couples was really well thought out and allowed for people to help tailor their desired music songs/genres. Most importantly, the set list and sound were awesome and everyone in our wedding was dancing their heart outs! We would absolutely recommend Ben and his company to anyone looking for a wedding DJ.

My wife and I worked with Ben after hearing him perform for a wedding we had attended previously. Ben is super easy to work with, and has a nice system in place for running through all the ins and outs of a wedding day. Most importantly, Ben is super collaborative and can take the songs/vibe you're going for and bring it to the next level with his extensive knowledge of good music. We loved working with Ben and had several friends ask us for his info. Could not recommend more strongly!!

To start, I started referring people to him before he even played at my wedding because I just really liked him as a person. I was introduced to Ben from another DJ from NYC who said Ben was the best DJ he knew in the area, and was always his go-to when referring DJ’s. I was very impressed by that DJ- so I thought he was a very credible source and eagerly said yes and booked Ben right away.

Ben then exceeded every expectation I had. As many brides and grooms know, good music and a good DJ is the MOST important part of the wedding - next to an open bar of course. If your music sucks, it’s likely your wedding will too. So as anyone would be, and even though I had faith Ben would be great, I was still nervous and stressed about it all working out.

From the beginning Ben was cool, calm collected, and very kind. There were multiple occasions where he calmed me down as I was having a bridezilla moment. I specifically remember one email exchange when I was panicking about something stupid, and apologized for being all over the place. His response was “everything will be fine. i promise. really no need to worry. i will take care of you and the music and you won't be worried.” I legit cried at that moment because I felt like I truly was being taken care of and that I didn’t have to worry, and that meant the world to me at the time.

Then the day of the wedding came and he made sure he took the time to personally introduce himself to me and my husband, and then killed it (in a good way) all night long. He played everything I asked for and more. I even had multiple different groups of people come up to me during and after the wedding to talk about how great the music and DJ were. Some even said it was the best one they ever heard and were planning on using him for their wedding. I truly couldn’t have had a better experience, and I am very grateful I was introduced to Ben. He made the party, and we partied our faces off and danced the night away.

Jon is a true professional who takes his craft seriously. He loves music and has extensive experience across genres which enables him to make a perfect template to play the music you are looking to hear on your day. His client service is also excellent. He is responsive and exceptionally organized and was able to help plan some of the order of our events using his experience that we had not yet thought of.

From our first email conversation to our video chat to our correspondence as we discussed music we wanted to have played, Jon was kind, patient and an excellent listener. On the day of our wedding he played what we had discussed, kept events moving on time and helped smoothly guide the day while playing some great tracks without some of the fanfare we have seen from other DJ's. Jon uses great equipment and even visited our venue to ensure he understood the layout and where he could best position himself for acoustics and MC duties. Highest Recommendation.

We hired Jon as our DJ for our Upstate NY wedding in September. He was easy to work with, quick to respond - a true all-around professional. He has lots of experience DJing weddings and was able to give us suggestions and recommendations when we had questions. He had lots of good worksheets that made it very easy to brainstorm on songs/music selections and helped you think through the whole day. He provided music for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception - he is a machine! It was also super important to us that vinyl be used as much as possible. Jon has an incredible vinyl collection and it really made the night for us. The vinyl was an extra charge over his standard fee (which is extremely reasonable) - and for us, worth every penny. He also provided editing for ceremony music, first dance, and parents' dances that helped make the moments absolutely perfect. He really got the vibe we are going for and ran with it full speed. We could not have asked for a better DJ! I would recommend him without hesitation.
