Kevin W. Sent on 01/02/2022Ben Absolutely Crushed
Ben knocked it out of the park and made our wedding truly unforgettable. Music was an extremely important part of our ceremony/afterparty and we never felt worried about whether or not it was all going to work. From the procession music to the speeches to the final party, the music and volume levels were perfectly handled. On the DJing front, we gave Ben a list for inspiration, and he just absolutely nailed our vibe on the night. A+++ all around rockstar performance. -

Amanda C. Sent on 11/19/2019Amazing! Best choice we made.
During our planning process my husband and I had the DJ/band debate; I wanted a band and he wanted a DJ. We got together with my husband's best man and he and his wife had just came back from a wedding. He kept saying how great the DJ was and since I trusted his opinion (and this was one of only a few things my husband had asked for throughout the entire planning process) I asked for his contact information and reached out.
My biggest hesitation with a DJ was that we would get the same DJ you see at every other wedding; the guy who makes every announcement in that cheesy sportscaster voice and plays the same songs you hear every other wedding DJ play. In my opinion, every wedding I had been to that had a DJ was the same and was nothing super impressive in terms of music. However, once Ben and I jumped on a call and discussed his vibe and how he is not a wedding DJ but rather a DJ who also does weddings I felt confident that hiring him was the right choice.
Throughout the entire process Ben was awesome! He helped guide us with the flow of the night, gave us suggestions for our entrance songs, gave his honest opinion on whether he thought something was too fast or too slow, and answered any questions we had along the way. He was even awesome enough to accommodate us by playing Greek music (my husband is Greek and we wanted to make sure that was part of our night). He also has a strong attention to detail which as someone who also has that, I appreciated it and found it extremely helpful. We changed things on him quite a few times and he had no problem with any of it. He was extremely friendly, easy going, and most importantly knew music.
Needless to say, our reception was AMAZING! Our guests danced all night long. Even some of our hard to impress guests were dancing all night and kept saying how amazing Ben was. He had our photographers dancing and singing too! Afterwards our guests kept asking us who the DJ was, where we found him, how to contact him, and kept telling us how our reception was one of the most fun receptions they had ever been to. Ben does an unbelievable job of mixing old and new to keep everyone dancing and really knows what he's doing. We also had several people tell us how much they loved watching him DJ. He gets so into it! Nothing about him is "cheesy" or "average wedding DJ". He's the real deal.
I really can't recommend Ben enough. We couldn't be happier with our choice in hiring him and he's the reason our reception was as fun as it was! -

Victoria Sent on 06/25/2019Amazing Party Atmosphere
Hiring Beyonder Events for our wedding was the best thing we could have done! Ben and Mikey were both super accommodating and extremely knowledgeable about what they do. we saw Ben with Beyonder Events at a friends wedding and, even though we were not even engaged at the time, made the decision immediately that when we get married we will be hiring them. My husband and I both knew from the start that we wanted a DJ from the get go, but finding the right person to work with you is the hard part! Not with these guys. Mikey and Ben were both reliable and easy going, knew what to do and knew the answers to my questions before I asked them. Our day of DJ was Mikey Palms, and we couldn’t say enough good things about him! Mikey knew exactly what we wanted from our party and gave us the best night!
From the first phone call to get to know each other, to emails back and forth, ending with an in person meeting a week before our wedding to nail down the details, we have zero complaints and would absolutely recommend Mikey, and the rest of the Beyonder group. -
Michael Sent on 08/21/2018When planning our wedding, we wanted to throw the best party imaginable: a non-traditional ceremony, lighthearted atmosphere, and an upbeat, unrelenting energy from processional to after-party. Ben was critical to realizing our vision.
We met with Ben early in the planning process, reinforcing our confidence in our choice, especially when he mentioned the goal of an inter-generational dance floor, seamlessly shifting from Biggie to The Supremes. Immediately, we knew he grasped our taste and vision and we understood what he needed from us to deliver. Leading up to the wedding, Ben reviewed our music selections with us. We provided do not play, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing suggestions. However, we entrusted him, as an expert, to modify as needed. That trust paid off.
Ben delivered beyond our already high expectations: the dance floor was packed from first dance to last song and people have repeatedly commented since on the amazing music and party atmosphere. In fact, I had a friend ask last weekend if I had a playlist from our wedding to share since he was at a wedding where music was killing the party. Ben established a new standard for many of our friends.
And about his goal for an inter-generational dance floor: 100% delivered. He had my 70-something-years-old, very Midwest mother dancing indiscriminately to the music, not just to a classic oldies or two.
We believe the night wouldn't have exceeded our expectations without Ben's talent fueling the party; and thus, we recommend with absolute confidence that he'll deliver the same unmatched experience for your wedding! -

Alissa Sent on 10/20/2017We booked Beyonder Events for our wedding based on Ben's super chill personality and awesome mashups (and the price), and he did not disappoint!! We weren't looking for the type of DJ that puts on a show and we also weren't looking for DJ that only plays the typical wedding playlist. Between my husband and I, we have a pretty extensive range of music we like, which Ben was very open to, and we wanted a PARTY.
Before the big day, he helped us put together a timeline of the night, he was flexible with payments (and he has Venmo!), and he completely got the vibe we were going for based on our must plays and do not plays. The night of, he was in contact with us the entire time letting us know things like our maitre'd wanted him to play "Shots" during the intermezzo pass around (which we didn't want), and giving us a heads up for when he was going to turn things up again.
He showed up dressed nicely with just his equipment, nothing flashy (exactly what we wanted) and did professional announcements for the speeches and cake cutting (no corny stuff or pointing people out etc). He did an amazing job mixing the oldies and new music and we had compliments from everyone - teenage boys to middle age women. Above all, we had a blast, everyone was dancing (including Ben!), and it was truly the party we imagined. Our maitre'd actually told us she's never seen this much dancing at a wedding.
Highly, highly recommended!

Ella Sent on 09/23/2017Ben DJ'd our wedding last weekend and was amazing! He met with us before the wedding to get a feel for our musical tastes and served up the perfect playlist on the day-of. Ben struck the perfect balance between asking us what we wanted and using his own expertise to create the perfect atmosphere. He had everyone on the dance floor for hours and also handled all of our announcements and last-minute curveballs with ease. We've been complimented on the music all week, and we know that Ben was a huge part of a successful night. Highly recommended! -
Melissa Sent on 10/05/2017Ben was the first vendor we booked for our wedding. And it turned out to be a fabulous decision.
We were having a cocktail style wedding reception, so music was very important to us as we wanted to be on the dance floor all night. Therefore, music was first up on the agenda when we started our planning. After researching and contacting about 8 DJ companies, we knew what we didn't want.
We didn't want these cookie cutter companies that would have given us the same wedding experience as everyone else.
We wanted something different. That is where Ben stood out...He sold himself, "as a DJ that does weddings, not a wedding DJ."
Think about that for a moment...we did and we decided, that is exactly what we wanted.
As this is one of the lead roles on such an important day, we felt it was necessary to meet in person to review our expectations and to make sure we felt comfortable working with him before we signed the contract.
(Believe me, with most of those "cookie cutters", you don't even get a chance to meet the DJ "they assign to your wedding".)
Setting up a meeting with Ben was easy. We liked him immediately and signed the contract that night.
Ben and I emailed a few times over the next 9+ months to stay in touch.
A few weeks before the wedding, we had a detailed phone call and supplied the necessary details he needed (like names for the entrance and must have's/must never play, etc.). We also had family members that were singing for our first dances and Ben accommodated our needs easily and even spoke directly to our cousin to make sure everyone had what they needed.
And then, just like that, Ben delivered one hell of a party!
The music was amazing! Ben was on point all night and read the crowd perfectly.
I still receive compliments on the music...he mixed in some goodies that we didn't even think of! He was perfect - not one thing I would have changed. Clearly, because I never left the dance floor. Lol
Thank you, Ben. -
