Itay Y. Sent on 08/11/2024Couldn’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!Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:

DJ Rafe Terrizzi came highly recommended from a friend-of-a-friend, and we were SO glad we went with him for our wedding at Kanopi (Opus Westchester)! The owner Ben Boylan was very organized in sending us a detailed worksheet to fill out and reminder emails. We actually spent several months filling out the worksheet and curating an inspiration playlist, which Rafe/Ben definitely appreciated (and plan to feature!), to ensure we got the vibe just right. Rafe is super kind and professional – he was on-point with the music–cocktail (R&B), dinner (millennial pop), dance (2000/10s college party) and got our crowd DANCING ALL NIGHT!! He also emceed our speeches and did such a nice job of gently getting attention without feeling like an announcer.Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:
Thank you for your wonderful review, Julia! We’re thrilled to hear that Rafe made your wedding at Kanopi such a memorable experience and kept everyone dancing all night. It’s great to know that the planning process went smoothly and that the music hit all the right vibes throughout the day. We appreciate your kind words and are so glad we could be a part of your special celebration! -

We are so lucky to have booked Ben as the DJ for our wedding last month at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island. He was one of our favorite vendors to work with! He was so personable, easy to chat with, and my husband and I had the best time geeking out over music with him. He was always super quick to respond when we had a question. And most importantly- the dance floor was packed all night long! Guests of all ages loved his music picks, and many of our guests said he was the best wedding DJ they’d ever experienced. I think so many people are used to cheesy, schmaltzy DJs who don’t really tune into the crowd- Ben is the opposite. He knows how to catch the vibe and keep the party moving and grooving all night long. If you’re looking for a DJ with no ego, who is a kind human and a joy to work with, who will keep people dancing all night long- look no further than Ben. He is your guy.Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:

Ben Boylan is some sort of musical savant anthropologist! We talked to him and he seemed like just a regular fellow. OK where's the zany personality? The jewelry and tattoos? The "hype"?
Nope. All he knows is the encyclopedia of music and the science of how it moves every specific group of people party on the dancefloor. What a great time.Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that Ben’s deep knowledge of music and ability to read the crowd made your wedding a great time. It’s wonderful to know that he helped keep the dance floor moving all night, and we’re glad his unique approach resonated with you. We appreciate your kind words! -

Maren Sent on 07/19/2024Great prep and a night of fun!
We immediately knew that we did not want an entertainer (MC) for our wedding and finding Ben was a perfect match. He focuses on the music, sets the right vibe and makes everyone move and have a great time. He was very responsive and organized throughout the entire process - you know that you have a professional with you the way he listens to your vision and requests. He even communicated with family members to incorporate an auditive surprise and played our own recording for the first dance. When we wanted to turn up the volume he gladly did! Highly recommend!Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:
Thank you for your wonderful review, Maren! Working with you and Sam was a pleasure.
Best wishes - Ben -

Ryc O. Sent on 06/19/2024Highly Recommend!!
Working with Non-Traditional Wedding DJs was excellent and Ben was the ideal DJ for our wedding. We and our community of guests alike are all deeply passionate about music and Ben took that to heart from the very beginning.
We shared our vision for the musical vibe & arch of our wedding day and Ben really delivered. Through a couple well-timed prep conversations, a thoughtful pre-wedding form, and some Spotify playlists we shared back & forth, he seamlessly incorporated our ideas and track selections (even the deeper cuts) throughout the day – from arrival, to the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception dinner & dancing. Dance floor was buzzing until the very last song. We and our guests absolutely loved it. Highly recommend. Thanks Ben!Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:
It was a pleasure working with you and incorporating your unique track selections throughout the day. Really appreciate your recommendation! Thanks for the wonderful review, Ryc! -

Mary Sent on 09/08/2024Ben Made our Wedding!
I couldn't have imagined a better DJ to have played at our wedding. From the start Ben took great consideration in the type of music and the vibe we wanted. We incorporated live music (horns, bongos) into the music for the night and the collaboration worked seamlessly! His worksheet and the spotify playlists he has available are very helpful in communicating your preferences. If you ask anyone who was at our wedding the music is always what they bring up, our guests had a blast. Thank you Ben for making our day absolutely incredible!Ben Boylan, Non-Traditional Wedding DJs's reply:
Thank you for your amazing review, Mary! We’re so happy to hear that Ben was able to bring your vision to life and seamlessly incorporate the live music elements. It’s wonderful to know that your guests had such a great time and that the music was a highlight of the night. We’re thrilled to have been part of your incredible day! -

Kerry K. Sent on 11/22/2023Amazing DJ!
Non-traditional wedding DJs were perfect for my wedding. First of all their price point is fair and competitive in the wedding DJ space. Owner Ben was extremely helpful in figuring out the kind of music my partner and I like and our DJ Thando executed it perfectly. I had a couple of pretty specific requests but also wanted Thando to include crowd-pleasers during the reception; he wove all of this together seamlessly. I spent so much time dancing that I didn’t even talk to some of our guests (oops) and that is a testament to the ambiance that the music created. I highly recommend Non-traditional Wedding DJs: 10/10, 5 stars, chef’s kiss! -

Our DJ Ben was AMAZING! He totally understood the vibe we were going for and he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Everyone was complimenting our DJ throughout the night & said it was one of the best DJs they'd ever seen at a wedding. He was super chill to work with, easy to communicate with & gave us the wedding disco dance party of our dreams!!! Recommend 10/10!! -

Gabrielle S. Sent on 10/22/2023Thank you Joe!
We could not recommend Non-Traditional Wedding DJs, and particularly Joe Schimicci, enough. Joe took the time to get to know us and perfectly curated the soundtrack to our wedding so that it felt like us...so much so that we had guests asking if we provided the playlist! Joe made sure we felt taken care of and that our guests had fun. 10/10...would choose NT DJs and Joe again in a heartbeat! Can't recommend highly enough. -

Claudia C. Sent on 09/12/2023Ben was truly the backbone of the party!
We were lucky enough to book Ben for our wedding, and from day one, we knew we had to work with him. He has years of experience working the NYC wedding scene, and it shows through his depth of knowledge on venues, music catalogues, and how to get a crowd moving!
My husband is an avid, and particular, music enthusiast, and so our music preferences started with highly prescriptive songs and playlists and ended with providing Ben with genres and styles we’d like to play for each part of the wedding. Ben made it clear that whatever our choices ended up being, he was confident in being able to execute our musical vibes, and he provided helpful and welcome guidance when we needed help.
Weddings are such a funny business because you, as the couple, will likely only meet your vendors in person on the day of. Trust me when I say you’ll feel like you’re old friends with Ben when you meet him on your special day, and book him! -
