Couldn’t have made a better decision hiring DJ BEN!

A great DJ for our wedding was a priority. I am Israeli and my wife is Central American and our friends and families love to dance.

We reached out after seeing great feedback online regarding multicultural weddings. The clear pricing on their site was also a plus! We worked directly with DJ Ben who made this process so easy. It was clear from our first call that he was excited about his role for the big day and wanted to work closely with us to create the perfect evening.

The worksheet he provided was helpful for us to really think about music. after the second pre wedding call, we felt at ease/excited and knew Ben would deliver.

Life threw us an unexpected curveball before our big day so some things were touch and go and we made modifications. Despite this, Ben demonstrated compassion, flexibility and the utmost professionalism. Thanks to Ben we had an amazing night with a packed dance floor like we wanted. Thank you Ben!

Everyone danced all night

Jonathan Romero DJ'd our wedding for us in October 2024 at Marina Del Rey in Throgs Neck, NYC, and we were absolutely thrilled with how it turned out. He seamlessly wove several genres of music together that matched the energy of our guests, and people were dancing all night long.
Jonathan received positive feedback from many of our guests of diverse backgrounds/differnt ages, and he also received praise from our venue's bridal attendant who regularly works weddings.
The process was smooth, as we had a couple of conversations with Jonathan and Ben in advance of the wedding. We also filled out a worksheet that they provided with all of our ceremony & entrance music. We had less than 5 song requests for the wedding reception, and asked Jonathan to take care of the rest, based on our conversations and our worksheet. We knew we were asking for a lot since we asked for music that spanned several decades and many genres (Including Latin music). He nailed it: the music perfectly fit our taste. We were grateful for his vast knowledge of many music genres.
The sound for the wedding ceremony and reception was perfect - everything was clear and audible, and the music was neither too loud nor too soft; with seemless transition between genres and moods required between dinner, speeches, and all over party fun. He was fully ready and prepared in advance of both the ceremony and reception.
We are happy to recommend Jonathan as a wedding DJ and Non-Traditional Wedding DJs as a service. We also opted for a photobooth rental, and the photos came out great, and were easy to download after the event.

Dance forward wedding

We worked with Matthew to DJ our wedding of 130 people at Shell's Loft in Brooklyn. He did an amazing job working with us to play the music we wanted throughout the cocktail hour, ceremony, and dance floor. He made all of our guest feel comfortable on the dance floor and helped us have the party we wanted. We also used them for the hosted photo booth which was a guest favorite and made for great pictures of the night
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Ben Boylan is a true New York City DJ. I don't think I've ever seen a DJ enjoy playing music for people more than this guy. Soundhouse ran the AV for a couple of weddings he was DJ'ing and he is one of the best we've ever seen. Crowds were having an outstanding time, all the way from the kids to the old folks. Great musical taste and he knows what the crowd is looking for. On top of being a fun DJ, he was tedious with details. He worked hand in hand with the wedding planner, the venue, and our AV tech team to make sure the wedding timeline was followed flawlessly. He is a professional worker who will put his whole energy into making sure your wedding goes off well so all you have to do is have fun.
