About this vendor

Aruba Wedding DJ & MC | The Ruuben Experience

Hi, I’m Ruuben, the DJ and MC behind The Ruuben Experience. I’ve been helping couples celebrate their weddings in Aruba since 2002, and founded Ruuben’s Professional Services in 2012. I bring the music, guide the important moments and keep the evening moving so you can be present with your people.

Your wedding should sound like you. We’ll work through your special songs, must-plays, do-not-plays and the atmosphere you want—from the first introduction to the last dance. On the night, I read the room and bring it all together.

Planning from abroad? Your private planning portal keeps your music choices and wedding details in one place. Together, we’ll shape the timeline and coordinate the key moments with your planner and wedding team. You can also invite your guests to share song requests before the celebration.

Music, hosting and the details

• Wedding reception DJ and MC services
• Ceremony audio and music, plus cocktail-hour music
• Personalized music planning and timeline coordination
• Professional sound, wireless microphones and dance-floor lighting
• Custom dance mixes for choreographed performances
• MC services in English, Spanish, Dutch and Papiamento
• Rehearsal dinners and after-parties

Your event’s coverage, equipment and any extras are confirmed in your proposal.

Local experience for your destination wedding

I work with couples celebrating at Aruba’s resorts, beaches, private villas and event venues, alongside their planners and venue teams. Whether you’re booking through your resort or planning independently, we’ll confirm the arrangements for your venue and celebration.

Tell me your wedding date, venue—or the venues you’re considering—and what you’re imagining. We’ll start with availability and a conversation about your kind of night.

Designed with Emotion. Delivered with Energy.

Timothy & Brittany Finan’s Wedding 04/17/26

If I could give DJ Ruuben more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, he was incredible to work with. Before the wedding, we had multiple Zoom calls where he really took the time to understand our vision and exactly what we wanted our day to feel like. His planning website was so easy to use, and he gave us plenty of time to finalize our music, even though I was definitely making last-minute changes! He was so patient throughout the process, helping us mix songs together, sending sample edits, and making sure everything was exactly how we envisioned it.

On the wedding day, he exceeded every expectation. My biggest goal was for our wedding to feel like a club where everyone was on the dance floor all night, and he absolutely nailed it. From the emotional slow dances to the high-energy party, every transition was seamless and every song was perfect. The dance floor was packed the entire night!

To this day, our guests still talk about how amazing the music was and how much fun they had. We had so many people asking for his playlist because every song was a hit. Dj Ruuben truly understood our vision and brought it to life better than we could have imagined. If you’re looking for a DJ who is professional, organized, talented, and knows how to keep the party going, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

If you are looking for a DJ in Aruba!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding DJ! He had a great feel for the music we wanted and adjusted the playlist as needed throughout the night.

A Great DJ For A Great Wedding

My wife and I got married at Flamingo Beach owned by The Renaissance earlier this year. The venue recommended several different DJs and we decided to reach out to Ruuben to see if he would be a good fit for us and would be available on our wedding day. Ruuben was responsive in his communication throughout the process and we had several zoom conversations the weeks leading up to the big day. His website was easy to use to guide him on what songs/genres of music we were looking for. Ruuben was also our officiant for the wedding ceremony and pulled off both duties seamlessly. Thankfully he is multilingual and engaged our audience in both English and Spanish. He kept the energy consistently high during the reception after and was very professional and good-natured. We felt like we were in great hands with Ruuben and highly recommend him.

The greatest ever!

No words can describe how amazing Ruuben is.

From the beginning of the process he is super friendly and his custom website allows you to add all of your songs in specific order. Very seamless.


He also was extremely flexible with last minute changes which was very nice of him!

When it came to the wedding - there was no explanation for how perfect he did. He knew exactly how to guide the night , when to change songs and keep people on their feet. He is responsible for one of the best nights of our lives.


There is no chance you regret booking him!!

THANK YOU RUUBEN! ❤️

Amazing Experience!

Ruuben was a fabulous DJ and we truly had such a wonderful experience with him. Our dance floor was never empty and the music made the night! Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the variety of music and fun atmosphere! We were able to personalize every detail of our reception and Ruuben was there to help the whole way!

He was professional, personable, and so easy to work with. I would recommend Ruuben to everyone planning their Aruba wedding and couldn’t have been happier with our experience!

Best DJ in Aruba! Hire ASAP

DJ Ruuben had not only all our guests on the dance floor from 7:00pm until 1:00am, but the staff dancing as well! So many people came to us during and after the wedding to tell us how much fun they had. He was extremely easy to work with and reliable. I would recommend this DJ to anyone who wants a smooth wedding with a fantastic party!

Professional Vibe Curator

Ruuben was such a pleasure to work with and truly captured all our wants and needs and executed perfectly. We had a wide array of music we wanted from disco to dubstep. Ruuben flawlessly mixed all of our music to curate an amazing vibe and kept everyone grooving. He cut and mixed our special dance songs with precision and was supportive and communicative throughout the entire process. Planning an LGBTQ wedding in a place we had never visited was a bit daunting but Ruuben embraced us, our ideas, and our guests with warmth and positive energy.

10/10 Highly Recommend DJ Ruuben!!!

DJ Ruuben came highly recommended to us by another wedding vendor and we could not be more grateful for the suggestion! We spent months curating our playlist and left the rest up to Ruuben - the transition/mixing and flow of music was spot-on! Ruuben was incredibly responsive and flexible, even meeting with us on his holiday to ensure all our questions were answered ahead of our big day. We loved the custom add-ons - our customized logo and the bubble haze were a big hit with the crowd. If you’re looking for someone reliable who knows how to perfectly match the crowds energy with curated music, don’t hesitate to book DJ RUUBEN!
