They rocked our wedding!

HANDS DOWN - the best decision we made was hiring the Benjamins for our wedding! They had the dance floor packed the entire night - which was exactly what we wanted! They played a variety of music which was perfect for everyone there. We got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the band was and how great they did! We had them do our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and the trio performed our after party. At every portion of the wedding - they crushed it! The trio was phenomenal for our after party and we wish it would have gone longer because they were so good! We would hire The Benjamins 1000x over without a question! We are so grateful for how amazing they made our wedding!!!

Best wedding band ever!

The Benjamins made our wedding reception!! All of our guests would not stop raving about how well they played. I had a second look for my wedding and didn't want to leave the dance floor so I completely forgot about it. We had their sax & pianist for our cocktail hour, and their 8-piece band for our reception. They even let my father-in-law get up on stage to perform with them! Joe (lead singer/owner) and Dennis (MC/drummer) were also super communicative during the whole process and answered any/all questions I had. Thank you so much! We had the time of our lives thanks to you.

Incredible wedding band!!

We first saw The Benjamins at a friends wedding, and we immediately knew we wanted them to be our wedding band. Once we had found our venue, we reached out to them immediately to get them booked! We had a great experience working with them on the set list and figuring out all the details before the day. They were communicative and very responsive to our questions and requests.

At the wedding reception, they absolutely crushed it! All of our guests loved them and they had people dancing who I didn’t even know ever danced! They always played the right song at the right time and mixed up our requests really well; from oldies to more recent hits. We would 100% recommend them. They are amazing and anyone would be lucky to have them play at their event!

Perfect wedding last night

My niece got married last night and she had The Benjamins performing at the reception. Not only were they fantastic musically, but they were absolutely kind to my daughter and her new friends who became their groupies for the evening. I even found my daughter hanging out with them during their breaks - but they could not have been warmer and more welcoming. So not only are they able to keep the party going, they went out of their way to give my daughter a fantastic first concert experience. Thank you!!

The Benjamins are the best!!!

The Benjamins absolutely rocked our wedding!!! They brought amazing energy that had the dance floor packed all night long, which is exactly what we wanted! We especially loved that they played lots of 90s-2000s pop punk songs that are our favorite, and they incorporated our requests! We would book them again in a heartbeat!

The PERFECT wedding band

Choosing a band for our wedding felt daunting to my husband and I! We had a list- 90s grunge for him, a few wedding dance tunes for my parents, and some really talented musicians to live up to our standard (as I am a music educator and many of our guests were professional musicians). The Benjamins checked every.single.box. No song request denied, from ceremony to the end of the night 90s mash up to wrap up the end of the party- what a FUN band! Since our wedding many people have gone to other events have said "they had a band, but it wasn't the Benjamins!"

Wedding Rock Show!!

Everyone should book the Benjamins for their wedding! Our guests are still talking about how great The Benjamins were. They certainly know how to pack the dance floor. We even had to move our Sweetheart Table back to make more room! They took our requests and crushed it. Dennis, Joe and Mike were a pleasure to work with and made our postponement a breeze. We are so happy that we decided to book them.

Book Them Now!

The Benjamins were everything we wanted from a band and more. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. The reception was absolutely amazing thanks to The Benjamins. They had everyone constantly on the dance floor and made the party unforgettable. We had so many guests both during and after the wedding raving about how good the band was. I would HIGHLY recommend The Benjamins to anyone looking to hire a band for their wedding.

Awesome Wedding Band!

We went to see The Benjamins prior to booking them, and after one song we were sold! The Benjamins had our guests dancing the entire reception! A pleasure to work & plan with. We highly recommend hiring The Benjamins for your wedding.

Amazing night! Knows how to read the crowd

The Benjamin's know how to throw a party! They were absolutely amazing and the party started and ended with them making the dance floor light up. We had them help with ceremony, cocktail hour, & dancing the night away. The MC Dennis was so fun and funny to the crowd and they just really knew how to shift the day around with any timeline hiccups that happen. They made the day the party that I wanted. The Benjamins were the 1st booking because my husband and me had seen them countless times prior. This is an easy YES to add to your wedding.
