    Ben is the best!

    Ben DJ'd our wedding and was incredible!! Multiple people told us afterwards specifically how good the music was. He was great to work with throughout the whole process and took so much care to understand what we wanted and provide suggestions and advice. We had some must-plays, don't plays, and general vibe suggestions and he absolutely nailed it.

    Great 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!

    Highly 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!

    A Memorable Wedding with Ben: The Perfect DJ Choice

    From our first meeting with Ben to the wedding day itself, we couldn't have asked for more. As music lovers with a keen interest in setting the right vibe, we found Ben to be the perfect fit for our wedding.

    In our initial meeting, Ben asked, "Do you want a talkative DJ/MC?" Before we could answer, he assured us, "I am not that guy," which was exactly what we wanted to hear. His approach to letting the music create the mood was ideal for us.

    When it came to planning the music, Ben was very collaborative. He provided a music worksheet and took the time to understand the type of ambiance we wanted for each part of the event—cocktail hour, dinner, and the dance party. His dedication to getting every detail right was impressive.

    On the day of our wedding, Ben's expertise was evident. He delivered a fantastic music selection that kept our guests entertained and dancing all night. Many of our guests commented on how much fun they had and even said it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended.

    Ben's professionalism and genuine personality made the whole experience even better. We are incredibly happy with how everything turned out and highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a DJ who can make their event special.

    DJ Flavya!

    We are so happy that DJ Flavya DJed our wedding. The pre-wedding process was very easy and helped us communicate what we wanted with Flavya. We only had four specific songs requested (one for immediate post-ceremony, our first dance, and our final two songs). Flavya curated the rest of the music that perfectly fit the vibe we wanted for each portion of the celebration. She also coordinated the sound for the ceremony and toasts perfectly. There were a few times when we had to request some quick adjustments (lighting, moving the toast set up, etc.) and Flavya handled those perfectly. The process for working with Non-Traditional DJs is easy enough and very clear. They have a wealth of Spotify playlists that helped refine our thinking/requests before our final pre-wedding conversation.

    Amazing 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!

    Ben is the best!

    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!!

    Ben was on top of all things music from the minute we hired him. He played excellent music all night, he knew exactly what vibe to play and when. Everyone was really impressed with the music all night.

    Dj ben is the best!

    Ben was the DJ for our wedding at Audrey's Farmhouse. From the very beginning of the planning process he was incredibly easy and fun to work with.

    With the help of his extensive music knowledge, Ben collaborated with us to craft the perfect playlist for our wedding. During planning, he provided his own Spotify playlists based on genre for guidance, as well as a music planning worksheet with suggestions. During the wedding, we got countless compliments from guests of all ages regarding our music choices and Ben's overall chill demeanor. We made an angsty 2000s afterparty playlist with him and even employees at the venue were dancing along.

    Ben is not your typical DJ, and I mean this in the best way possible. He never questioned our non-traditional choices and made it very clear that he was there to make our day whatever we wanted it to be. I’m not exaggerating when I say that weeks after our wedding, we are still getting compliments and notes about how much fun our wedding was, how awesome the music was, and how authentic the whole thing felt. This authenticity could not have been achieved without Ben - he truly went above and beyond our expectations and as a couple who barely likes to dance, we found ourselves on the dance floor much more than we ever anticipated, all thanks to Ben. :)

    Thank 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.

    Joe Schimicci was an amazing DJ for our Brooklyn wedding!

    Joe Schimicci was absolutely awesome at our Brooklyn wedding! He provided the music for an incredible dance party (exactly what we wanted) and perfectly understood what our guests were looking for throughout the evening! His ability to lean into the tastes of our guests truly made our wedding so special. We got so many compliments from everyone.

    We can't thank him enough, and would highly recommend him!!

    Ben 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!

    Best dance party!

    Ben was so great to work with! Ben did a great job of mixing in several genres that we liked while making the music sound cohesive. He knew exactly what music to play to get everyone out on the dance floor and everyone had a great time. We were dancing all night! Highly recommend Ben and his team if you want to have a great dance party at your wedding.

    10/10 recommend hiring Ben!

    Ben - Talk about vibe! Dan and I had no idea what we were looking for with music but you hit the nail on the head. Your ability to read the room, pivot when necessary, and seamlessly transition between songs was incredible. When we were lost, your playlists helped us pick each and every song for our ceremony and we loved every single song during the reception. We had such fun on the dance floor all night and your "no hava negilah" hora set was such a hit!

    NTDJs will not disappoint!

    We hired NTDJs for our wedding and Joe S was our DJ. He and Ben were very communicative, professional and easy to work with. We had a very specific vibe and music preferences that were not standard "wedding music" (basically your millennials dream of indie 2000/2010s, disco, goth/new wave, alternative rock, etc). Joe NAILED IT. He exceeded our expectations and we had many guests ask us about the music and request the setlist. Joe created a magical dance party and we had the best time!

    You will love working with Ben and his team! And thank you again, Joe!!

    Super professional and knowledgeable DJs

    Flavya did an awesome job DJing our wedding! During the weeks leading up to our wedding, she and Ben checked in and made sure we were all on the same page with the vibe we wanted to create on our day. They were attentive to our requests and we would highly recommended them! Super professional with a wide musical knowledge!

    Attentive and Professional

    Non-Traditional Wedding DJs are an excellent company. They paired us with a wonderful DJ (Flavya) who studied our requests and the details of our ceremony closely. We met twice in the lead-up to the wedding and they responded to all our questions and e-mails quickly. We had to pack all of our dancing into about a 90 minute period because of local noise ordinances, but the dance floor was full for the entire time! Flavya did an exceptional job of reading the crowd and mixed the songs amazingly! Highly recommended!

    100% Recommend

    Rafe was absolutely the perfect DJ for our wedding - we had a specific music vibe/theme in mind - Rafe picked up on it and really ran with it in exactly the right way. The dance floor was packed all night; guests kept coming up to me telling me how much they loved the music, and I personally kept trying to leave to do wedding stuff but getting pulled back on by another banger that I just had to dance to.

    Perfect Party!

    We worked with Ben from Non-Traditional DJs for our May 2023 wedding. Ben made the process incredibly easy for us from start to finish. He was also on top of communication leading up to the event; this helped helped manage our stress levels as we were chasing other vendors around.

    Ben took the time to get to know our personal taste with scheduled calls and a comprehensive music work sheet. He was a great listener and made perfect suggestions. In the end, we appreciated how well our reception music represented us. Our guests have been messaging us about the music all week post wedding.

    We can’t wait to work with NTDJs again!

    Amazing Wedding DJ

    Ben exceeded our already high expectations! Throughout the entire process Ben was friendly, responsive, and accommodating. Ben understood the vibe of our wedding, and the music seamlessly transitioned throughout the reception and into the afterparty. Our guests danced all night long. I also highly recommend the photo booth - it was a hit! We would absolutely recommend Non-Traditional Wedding DJs!

    A packed dance floor all night!

    We highly recommend working with DJ Ben Boylan! From the beginning, he was enthusiastic and open-minded. While music selection for your wedding can feel like such an intimidating endeavor, Ben made the process fun and relaxing. He was encouraging us to lean into our musical preferences, and then allow him (if we were comfortable) to fill in the blanks and build around our “must play” songs. At the reception, we distinctly remember Ben observing the dance floor and making song adjustments to bring people back to the dance floor when people started to drift closer to the seats. His overall awareness of the dance floor’s energy was impeccable. Two wonderful perks about working with Ben are his recordings of the speeches at the weddings, and a full recording of all music played at your reception. It’s a fun way to relive the night, and the quality was very high. We received countless compliments on Ben and our wedding music selection, and DJ Ben rightfully earned it.

    DJ Ben was the amazing!!! =)

    DJ Ben was awesome and made our wedding unforgettable!! He really cared about our needs and made sure everything turned out to how we envisioned the wedding! From the first dance to the special announcements (which was one of the highlights) he was just on point!! I would definitely recommend him and Non-Traditional Wedding DJs to people who want quality service and experience! Our guests were raving about the music and our party because he knew exactly what the crowed loved to hear. He was very easy to talk to and we felt very confident with his guidance. MJ and I would want to thank him again as our wedding couldn't have been any better!! 10 STARS to DJ Ben!! We love you!
