DJ Ben deserves more than 5 stars! We had the privilege to have DJ Ben at our wedding on Saturday June 15th, 2024. I’m so happy we found him on Thumbtack. He is very responsive, friendly and is easy to work with. He was nice enough to give us a lower rate since we only needed him for five hours instead of six. But we ended up giving him a nice tip because he deserves it! We appreciated his communication and understanding with our last minute changes. DJ Ben did not only play music for us but he emcee’d for us as well! He worked along side our coordinator with our timeline and helped make our wedding go smoothly. DJ Ben is great at what he does. He was able to read the crowd and played the right songs to keep the guest dancing. We had the best experience with him and would recommend his services. Thanks again DJ Ben! You’re awesome! -Mr.&Mrs. Vantran
