Where do I even begin to start, how bout Dj Benny Goodman was THE man for the job at my wedding. For that to even mean anything you would have to know that - what I asked of his se...rvices was far above what any average dj could accomplish. Benny is no average dj. At the get go, our intro call I felt at ease and comfortable with Benny and his confidence in how the entire wedding process unfolds. News to me, weddings are a whole a$$ production, my new wife and I watched it go by in a blur as we acted in what felt like a movie to us. I may have been nervous, but none of it came from “I hope the sound is clear, what if the mic shuts off, the music better be good”. I was so none aware of the entire aspect of sound because it was pristine the whole way through. Vows, speeches, and toast, anything that was important was heard clear.
Ok, now the truly amazing part.
Wedding plans and logistics changed, whether it was decided by the bride to-be in a fit of ocd.. or just fine details that can only be made right on the spot. Benny was locked in, effortlessly. Do you understand how grounding that feels when you’re the one under the gun and spot light? This guy lead in triumph.
The music.
From start to finish everyone loved the music. That would be a normal ask of a dj IF It were normal music. Me and my wife love edm (electronic music) {multiple sub genres} as do our friend groups. Not only did Benny keep the toes tapping and vibes flowing with the (classics, rock and roll, light rock, surf rock, alternative rock) through our cocktail hour and dinner, he had mixed my obscure/non-mainstream club bangers for my wife and I to get lost on the dancefloor together with. My older family loved the cocktail/dinner music. My younger friends and new siblings danced like no one was watching to the computer noises. Everyone had a blast. And when the older crowd rehydrated and was waiting for an oldies dance hit that everyone knows, Benny was waiting there to upper cut them with tracks that got everyone on the floor. He took request, he bounced from genre to genre, the guy crushed.
I have a huge family, I’ve been to 5+ weddings, me being so music oriented, the dj was important to me… AND one of the only things my wife let me be in charge of lolol. It was huge to me and having everything perfect was a must, and it was. Such a blast and I wish the night never ended. Huge thanks to Benny for a seamless execution.
