Amazing!!!

Sheldon did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding. My husband and our family are fans of his music, and regularly went to see him play when he was in Key West. We were over the moon when he agreed to play for us on our big day! He was without a doubt the biggest “deal” we got for our wedding - his price is so reasonable for the talent he has and the show he puts on.

Sheldon was very easy to work with. He was quick to respond, and has such a kind, down to earth, and relatable personality. He was willing to either play for us throughout the course of our entire wedding, or act as a “DJ” for the latter part. We chose to let Sheldon play for the entirety, and he absolutely crushed it! He can play a wide variety of genres, and does an amazing job at reading the crowd so that he can quickly adapt to the vibe and play what fits the room best. He does fun and unique things like play the guitar over his head/behind his back, and does mashups of popular songs, which really gets the crowd going. He also is a great MC! He is quick on his feet, and truly is a natural in all things music and entertainment. Several of our guests raved about his talent.

Additionally, Sheldon learned a few new songs that we requested for our processional, First Dance, Father Daughter Dance, and Mother Son Dance. It was so special to have a live performer play these special songs for us. Sheldon really was so accommodating and did an outstanding job.

If you are looking for a fun, yet unique and intimate experience at your wedding, Sheldon is your guy. He is a standout performer and will help to make your wedding one for the books. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!

Sheldon Benton was fantastic!

Sheldon is a great guy and wonderful performer. The booking process was easy and he did a wonderful job not only providing the music for my wife and I’s wedding reception, but entertaining the guests. I had several people come up to me and tell me how good the guy playing the guitar was! His guitar playing and singing was a highlight of the day for many of our guests, and he really made the whole process so easy. I highly recommend him for any of your events. He gets a ton of engagement from the guests and multiple families stayed later at the reception because they enjoyed his music so much!!

Amazing talent & wedding entertainer

We hired Sheldon for our destination wedding of around 60 people after seeing him play at another site and in another state 1-2 years prior. He is our favorite person to see live & he did not disappoint on our wedding day!! He was super easy to book with, responsive, reliable, and a crowd pleaser! He made sure to include & learn some of our specific song requests—including our first dance, Perfect by Ed Sheeran. Book with him & you will not be disappointed!!
