Verona was INCREDIBLE!! Christine and the whole band are absolute pros and so insanely talented!! More importantly theyre just great people- going above and beyond (even letting my little nephews check out their instruments). I feel so lucky they were part of our wedding day
They brought our vision to life! From custom acoustic versions of songs for our ceremony- to a longer DJ set- our dance floor was PACKED all night and our guests haven’t stopped talking about them!
EBE as a whole are just the best company! I love that they do in person showcases still so you can see the bands ahead of booking!

Kris Smith and team at EBE Talent were absolutely incredible to work with! Kris helped us bring our dance floor playlist to life, and he also ensured that our night ran smoothly. Packages were so reasonably priced, and we really feel like we got the best bang for our buck with a DJ, Sax Player, and a photobooth!

DJ Jon M was perfect for our wedding day. He was very personable and listened to all of our requests. He happily helped us on short notice and kept all of our guests entertained and on the dance floor. He did an amazing job of coordinating the timeline with our venue, The Reeds at Shelter Haven. We would highly recommend him!

We hired Love77 and they were great, everyone was raving and I had a LOT of professional musician friends in attendance -- they executed our vision for our first dance song (which was a combo of two particular arrangements) SO PERFECTLY that it remains one of my favorite moments of the whole day. We ended up adding on a trumpet to get that brassy wedding band feel and even though our venue was small they fit everyone with ease and were never too loud for the old folks either. In the end I wish we booked an extra hour -- everyone, even the 80+ year olds who usually stayed early, stayed the whole time! We would have added a DJ set (which they can do) for the youths, lol

I simply cannot put into words how incredible EBE Talent - Ibiza was for our wedding in August 2024! They exceeded every expectation we had for our entertainment. Our guests continue to talk about how blown away they were with their performance.
DJ Jack was wonderful to plan with from the start. After our first conversation we knew we were in great hands.
The day of the wedding, I will say these guys DELIVERED!
I cannot recommend them enough.
Ibiza's energy was top tier - Interacting with the crowd the entire evening, keeping everyone on the dance floor immediately after our formalities. The energy and vibezz were fLoWiNg to say the least!
Furthermore, our ceremony/announcing entertainment should not go without acknowledgement! The electric violin, saxophone, dj hybrid as guests were arriving set the mood perfectly for our outdoor city street ceremony.
Dj JackieJack, Electric Violinist Sasha, Drummer Benny and Saxophonist Nick Marz!
BOOK THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING!!

All I can say is WOW!!!!!
For starters, working with EBE was so easy. From my first call with Mike, I knew we were in good hands. He gave us all the info and answered any questions we had.
Before I get to the band, we also had a photo booth through EBE and I am so happy we decided to add it. Our guests loved it!! PLUS the attendant made an awesome album of all of the pictures with notes from our guests!! That was such a special thing to have to look through the next morning. And the attendant couldn’t have been any sweeter!!
Now for the band…. We chose RIO and it was the best decision we made. Jonathan, the bandleader, was so kind and easy to work with. We emailed back and forth about what we’d like for the wedding and filled out a sheet that kinda organized all our thoughts. When we met with Jonathan we left the call and were like we are going to have the best wedding ever. He said “we’re going to knock the paint off the walls” and he did not disappoint!!!!! Rio was ELECTRIC. For one they are so so talented!! We had multiple guests say they performed songs better than the artist and we do not disagree!!! They had EVERYONE on the dance floor all night long - all different ages. And that is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. My husband and I love to dance and just love everyone being together and having a good time. You could feel the love and happiness in the room all night long and that is in large part because of Rio. The band members even came out and got on the dance floor at points and we LOVED it. They played hit after hit, fed off the crowd and perfectly fit the vibe we wanted. the next morning, the venue coordinator told us in her 15 years there, she’s never seen the dance floor that packed the entire night. She said usually there’s a lull but it never happened. And that’s all because of Rio!!!
Jonathan helped us create a timeline for the night as well and it was perfect. It never felt like people were sitting at their tables for too long, which is something we really wanted to avoid. Everyone just had so much fun. We are STILL getting texts from our friends and family saying they wish they could party with Rio again. Everyone said it was the best wedding band they’ve ever experienced and my husband and I couldn’t agree more.
Thank you Jonathan, EBE, and Rio for everything!!!!!

EBE Monte Carlo is the best band out there! The dance floor was crowded the entire night long and we have had many people reaching out to us to find out the playlist of the band. Everyone at our wedding keeps telling us how much they loved our band and how they performed the songs better than the actual singers of the songs.
My husband, dad, brother and I went to the live band showcase about a year before our wedding and we knew we needed to have Monte Carlo at our wedding after one of the lead singers sang “At Last” so perfectly.
EBE talent is the absolute best and you cannot go wrong with any of the bands… however Monte Carlo is by the far best in my opinion! (Sorry I may be biased). I really enjoyed working with both Brian and Carmen, the band leaders. They helped keep us organized and they gave us good tips when it came to wedding day formalities.

EBE and the their band Imagine is truly one of a kind! I was absolutely blown away by their talent! Janine was so great to work with and helped tailor our song set to our style and guest! It absolutely made my night when they played murder on the dance floor, stuck season, and Jubel which were songs I mentioned I loved! They took the time to learn new songs to make the night so special ! They are one of a kind! Multiple of our friends have used them as well and they always keep the party going

We had a wonderful experience working with Jon of EBE Talent for our wedding reception! Jon was organized, reliable for prompt communication, and was just an encyclopedia of music. My partner and I were struggling to pick songs for our father-daughter and mother-son dances, and from us just describing our relationships with our respective parents, he was able to suggest the perfect songs for these memorable dances. Jon worked alongside us to not just plan out our song lists, but also the reception flow and timeline which was super helpful for us because we did not have a wedding planner. His vast experience was evident in his confidence throughout the planning process and the reception night, and his good vibes were infectious. Jon did a great job of keeping the reception on time and on track. But even more impressive was Jon's ear for music as he seamlessly wove together banger-after-banger catering to all ages and tastes to maintain a packed dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG. We could not have chosen a better DJ for our special day and we would not hesitate to hire him again!

Ben was our DJ and he was beyond awesome! He was attentive feom the first phone call we had with him all the way through to the end of or reception. We didn't really have any sort of direction of what we wanted but he nailed our entire night. We seriously had the best time and everyone was asking for his information. 10/10 recommend EBE Talent, especially Ben!!!!!!

I cannot express enough how incredible EBE Verona was for our wedding in June 2024. From the jump we were already sold on their warmth, energy, professionalism and the variety of music on their set list. We were utterly blown away when the band not only learned all the songs we hoped to have for special moments (walking down the aisle, first dance, etc.) but even threw in some songs they knew we would love based on our chats. The bandleader Christine and I shared I think an extra special bond stemming from that we both LOVE Sara Bareilles. Christine and the band learned a song by her and I actually sang it with them AT the wedding reception for my guests, and even got to attend a rehearsal to go over it. It was legit a dream come true. I can’t recommend them enough! The absolute best, most fun wedding band you will ever encounter and just all around lovely humans

We used EBE for our wedding. DJ Dre was the MC and we also added a violinist to play the ceremony and play alongside the dj at the reception. The music leaned clubby, which the younger guests enjoyed. They also got just about everyone up and dancing. And the violin was a HUGE hit, everyone loved him. The dj also made a custom edit of a song for one of the dances, which was really nice.

Ben’s attention to detail was unlike anything I’ve ever seen at a wedding. He truly got the party going and not just rolled with some of our ideas but also enhanced them. He’s just honestly a great person and just as good of a DJ. He looked like he was having a good time too which just helps add to the energy. Thanks, Ben for making our night so special!

Dre was great to work with! The company as a whole gave us an extensive form for details on what we wanted for our music including must-play songs and everything from music preferences to each part of the event. Dre was also fantastic with his song choices and the transitions between them. We and our guests were not disappointed :)

We had a great experience with EBE! They are great at communicating at all stages of the wedding planning process too. DJ Jon is the absolute best! I asked that we have an upbeat wedding with everyone on the dancefloor and that's what DJ Jon delivered! Everyone was on the dancefloor all night, including my 84 year old grandma! My family cannot stop raving about how much fun they had. DJ Jon helped us plan our reception perfectly, and even gave great recommendations. I am so happy with how our wedding day went. Thank you for bringing amazing energy to our day!

Eric and our DJ were the absolute best!!! Our guests were on the dance floor the whole night. We heard so many times “that was the best wedding ever!” & I really think it was because of how fun our dance floor was. Communication was easy with EBE when we changed our mind about some things we wanted. Highly recommend!!

We had Jon Mulhern as our DJ and have only amazing things to say about him! We loved everything out our experience with Jon- he was organized, patient, kind, and clearly had a ton of experience with weddings, and ceremonies in general. Everything was SEAMLESS and he provided great transitions and narration between different parts of the ceremony (first dance, speeches, dinner, cake cutting, etc). Answered all of our questions in meetings we had beforehand, and he made wonderful music suggestions when we weren't sure about additional songs. Everybody at the wedding ceremony had a great time on the dance floor and we loved all of the music. He helped make the ceremony a lot of fun! Wedding ceremonies can be nerve-wracking, especially for the bride (me), but I was not nervous at all because I knew Jon had everything under control. I recommend Jon and EBE Talent 100%.

We were so happy to have Ben at our daughter's wedding this past weekend. We absolutely LOVED everything about Ben and how he handled ALL of the music in the three different sites we had at the Morris Arboretum, as well as directing all of the most important activities - introductions, dances, speeches/toasts, etc. The timing and mix of the music was executed with perfection. The selections were eclectic to say the least and Ben was able to intertwine the musical tastes of different generations without a hitch. All of the young folk said it was THE BEST wedding they have been to this year. And they are at the stage of life where many of the friends are getting married so they have been to a lot of weddings. I would recommend Ben and EBE in an instant.

We worked with EBE for music and lighting, and cannot say enough good things about our experience. Ben Ostroff was our DJ - he was kind, responsive, and had everyone dancing all night. He was very organized, and coordinated with all of our vendors to keep the night running smoothly. We had a blast and are happy to recommend EBE!

Imagine played at our wedding on 9/23/23 and they were AMAZING!!! From our initial meeting with the booking manager to our details meeting with the band leader, Janine, it was clear that EBE and their bands are professional and determined to make sure your event is perfect. Everything was easy and seamless, which was reflected in the superb performance the day of our wedding. All night long and in the days since our wedding, guests have been raving about how good Imagine was. If you’re looking for a wedding band, look no further!

Working with EBE was great. They were professional, knowledgeable, and mostly communicated in a timely manner. We had Jesse as our DJ and he was great! I hate when music is too loud at weddings and I had asked him to keep the music at a reasonable volume, which he did a great job with. We didn't have any particular songs we wanted for the dancing portion and he picked songs that kept people dancing until the end! We had some specific requests for the formalities including a song that we edited ourselves, and Jesse was able to work it into the wedding seamlessly.

EBE was so wonderful to work with for our wedding and eased a lot of the stress during and before the wedding. We had Howie as a ceremony pianist, Doug as videographer, and Anan as MC. We liked how EBE was able to go with the flow when we did not have a lot of information up front. The ceremony was magical, all of the important moments were filmed, and the dance floor was packed all night. Anan especially kept the night flowing with his clear announcements. We would definitely use EBE again for future events.

EBE was so easy to work with. From the get-go, their communication was consistent and thorough! Chatting with their sales team relieved all of our stress, and they took the time to learn our vision for our wedding to recommend some of their DJ's/MC's for us. We chose Bennie & Faye and THEY ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Every guest that has shared their experiences about our wedding always included a mention of how amazing the husband and wife duo are! From the beginning, they both took the time to chat with us about our timeline, our styles, the ambiance we wanted, and our needs. They were very thorough in their attentiveness of our timeline, music, announcements, and coordination. Faye is an expert in the industry and diligently worked with the venue staff to make sure that ceremony, cocktail, and reception processes lined up with Bennie's announcements and DJ'ing. We didn't have to worry about anything because she knew what was happening at any moment the day of. Bennie is a masterclass for DJ's. He was perfect during our ceremony and cocktail hour, but really cranked up the engagement and energy during our reception. He knows how to feel the mood of the guests, how to get everyone onto the dance floor, and maximize everyone's excitement when dancing. We had a pretty millennial-heavy crowd, so he knew how to cater to us, but also include hits that accommodated the older and younger guests as well. The dance floor was NEVER EMPTY because of Bennie & Faye. Just wonderful humans with a strong passion for their craft and creating memorable experiences!

If you want to have an amazing reception hire Jesse!!! Our guests told us that the best part of the wedding was the DJ, all they could talk about was how they wanted to grab some water and then another banger came on. He did a great job helping us with our choices and deciding on our ceremony music. I would book him for every event I have.

Unfortunately, this was our least favorite vendor. We were recommended this vendor and DJ Matt Ostroff and the booking sales person was very personable. Our first zoom call with Matt was okay. He wanted a specific timeline of a dance break in between salad and the main course basically telling us that it's the best way to have a fun wedding and the venue could just deal with it. I was hesitant as I did not want the main course of steak and scallops to be overcooked or cold because of this dance break. My husband and I decided to do the dance break after our first dance and before salad which we put in the google doc along with all other information. We asked to have a second zoom call to review this timeline we wanted which he agreed to but didn't seem engaged and just assumed that we were doing the timeline he wanted. He was the only vendor who didn't seem receptive to what the couple wanted if it didn't align with what he normally does. Then on the wedding day, he pronounced our last name wrong as he announced us walking in meaning he pronounced the parents of the groom and the groom's siblings name wrong too. There are multiple ways of saying our last name but he never asked how to pronounce our last name. I regret not putting the pronunciation on the google doc too but every DJ should double check how to say every name while you're lined up ready to walk in. This mistake will live in our wedding video forever. He also played the fast version of our first dance song a couple songs after first dance during the initial dance break which was just awkward because it was just played. I wanted it as one of the last songs of the night to bring it full circle. Again I didn't clearly state this but assumed he would play it at least 2 hours later. Our guests had a good time, danced, and enjoyed the music so overall 3/5 stars. Biggest tip for future brides: ensure that your DJ knows how pronounce all names of the bridal party especially if you have a videographer.

Let me tell you -- Matt Ostroff will MAKE your wedding! From our first call, I knew we had to hire him. He's so kind, friendly, and REALLY knows what gets a crowd moving. He did such a good job with mixing our personal preferences of music with what would keep the older folks out on the dance floor. The playlist was hit after hit, and even my dad -- who I've seen dance maybe once before in my entire life -- spent quite a bit of time on the dance floor! Matt is incredible, and we got SO many compliments on all the songs he chose. He did a great job keeping the vibe going all night, and we're so glad we booked through EBE! We also had a violinist and a cellist for our ceremony who did an incredible job. I simply told them the songs I wanted, and they found the music and played them perfectly. It was so great to work with just once company for all our music needs -- we would absolutely recommend EBE to anyone in the area looking for wedding entertainment!

John Guarracino, that is the name you need to know when it comes to getting a DJ from EBE. The staff at EBE are great and responsive. But John had a huge hand in making the day great. All the planning we did with him showed in the execution of the day. His experience really showed from the minute we started to get into the heart of the reception. He prepped everyone in the bridal party to make them aware what was going on. He was able to read the room and make on the fly adjustment as needed and kept us informed on the changes. He worked well with the venue coordinator which also made everything go smoothly as well. The music he was playing was exactly what we and our guests were wanting to hear. He kept the party until the very end.

Jon Mulhern is an essential part of any successful wedding reception. I asked Jon if he would announce the score of the Eagles game and play the birds anthem whenever we scored a touchdown against the NY Giants, and because of him, the crowd went wild as we stomped all over the Giants on our wedding night! Thank you Jon! Go birds!

We had our wedding this past June and we had EBE Talent - Fiji perform and they were AMAZING!!!! I would recommend them for all weddings and events! My family and friends still talk about how great they were. They were so friendly and energetic! They let my newphew’s on stage and the music was outstanding! Trying to get my friends to book them for their weddings. Marcia (the band leader) was so nice and has an amazing voice! Easy to get a hold of with any questions and played my music that I made for a groomsman dance. Love this band and hope to see them perform again!

I highly recommend hiring a band from EBE Talent as your wedding band, specifically the band Amsterdam. We found Amsterdam through EBE Talent. We picked them based off of their YouTube showcase. I believe that typically, you can go in person to watch the bands perform, but due to covid, we watched what felt like hours of videos of different bands from the comfort of our home. After watching most of the bands’ videos, we finally chose Amsterdam. We are so happy that we chose them! They perform a wide range of songs and kept the party going all night. We were able to choose from their list songs that must be played and songs that shouldn’t be played. They also will learn 3 new songs for you. They learned our entrance song, first dance song, and father daughter song, however, their list is so expansive, you might not need them to learn anything. Our guests kept raving about how good they are. Several of my friends thought that our first dance song was a John Legend song and that they were playing a recording of the song. Our first dance song is actually an Andy Grammar song but the lead singer was so talented that our friends thought that he was a recording of John Legend! Amsterdam is high energy, responsive when we had questions, and offered great suggestions. If you want your guests to dance all night long, hire Amsterdam!

Ben was amazing! I got so many compliments about him and his team. My guests literally never left the dance floor. He also gave us an amazing schedule on how they day would flow. I didn’t have to guess when dances, speeches, or the cake cutting would happen. He organized it in a way that never interrupted the party! We also used him and his team for the ceremony and it went perfectly! I highly recommend Ben and his team! Best day ever!

We booked EBE for our wedding this weekend and cannot say good enough things about them! We had Frankie for our emcee and he was so fun to work with from planning to the day of. His personality fit perfectly with ours, the commentary during the reception was just enough to keep the party going and not annoying as some emcees can be! The dj himself played all of the songs and genres we requested which kept the dancefloor going all night long. We had a vocalist, pianist, and violinist for the ceremony, and they were above expectations. During cocktail hour the pianist and vocalist were joined by a saxophonist who stayed during the reception and our guests loved it. We definitely recommend them 1,000% and were so happy with our experience

We were recommended to EBE from a friend who used Matt, and even though he was booked for our weekend, he referred us to his brother Ben. Ben was amazing! He was very organized and professional, and made time to meet with us via Zoom a few times to confirm exactly what we wanted. He gave us lots of options for what music we wanted to play, I preferred to have a list of specific songs and Ben did not disappoint! He played all the songs we wanted plus some great songs we didn't add that were on course with our music interests. At one point, I turned to look at him and he was dancing and singing along too which made me so happy! It was a fun experience for all! The only challenge we faced was that our venue required 2 DJ set ups as the reception dinner and reception dancing were in two different locations, and there was some confusion on the day of when Ben arrived but he handled it great. He worked with the staff to figure out the best way to setup and it was perfect! Ben even played an encore song after my wild friends kept chanting it! We plan to recommend EBE and Ben to everyone!

We had Matt Ostroff as our Emcee and I actually didn't catch the name of our DJ but they were both great! I had several guests tell us after the wedding that we had one of the best dancing playlists! Everyone was dancing the whole night. I had several specific/somewhat random requests and Matt followed all of them. We also hired our photo booth through them and the attendant was super helpful in making sure the photo strips actually made it into our album. I'd say their pricing probably isn't the cheapest, but thought it was fair for what we got.

EBE was a huge vendor for us. I remember when my fiancee and I were first starting to shop around for our vendors. We reached out to EBE for DJ services.
From the moment we talked to Matt, we knew there was no better team for us than this team. My husband and I were looking for a true dance party at our wedding. We wanted to create an environment where people wanted to be up at the dance floor, because the next song is somehow even better than the last song that was played. We wanted a night full of the music we grew up on: Elton John, Billy Joel, Diana and the Supremes, to even some more recent music : blink 182, spice girls, and backstreet boys. Matt heard us, he told us that at all points they're surveying the crowd, they are making sure the party doesn't stop. It was literally and figuratively music to our ears.
Fast forward to the night of our wedding, and from the very first moment of the reception, Matt and his team had every single person out on the dance floor for the entire night. I think the only time that people weren't on the dance floor, was when they snuck away to grab some dessert, but ultimately ran back to the dance floor for the next banger. The music progressed purposely and perfectly. We had so many of our guests come up to us on the dance floor and tell us it was one of the most fun receptions they had ever been to, and we truly have Matt and his team to thank for that. Matt was professional, kind, easy to work with, and he know how to make one epic party that your entire group of friends and family can't stop talking about.
Not only did we have DJ services with them, we also had EBE manage our videography. The team of two men who captured our day were such a delight to work with. They were so kind, they had such a great humor about them, and at all times I felt truly comfortable in their hands. We received our video a week or two ago, and this team truly captured our day perfectly. They have forever frozen my very favorite day, and I can't wait to come back to this video years from now and remember just how magical and fun this day truly was.
The final service the EBE team managed for us was our photo booth. Our guests loved it!! We had no idea, but the team actually set up a book for us that the guests could put copies of the photo into and write us a note. It was such a sweet touch to this service. The group that managed this was extremely professional and wonderful to work with.
EBE is a dream team from music, to videography, to photo booths, to the number of other services they provide. If you want a perfectly curated party, that has your guests up on the dance floor, hoping the night would never end, don't hesitate to book now with EBE, it'll be one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day.

Planning with EBE and Ben in particular was very straightforward and easy. They made us feel like everything was under control and that was comforting leading up to the wedding. They can be a one stop shop for entertainment at your wedding which we appreciated.
Violin for ceremony and first dance- 10/10, one of my favorite aspects of our wedding and made it feel so special. Adrienne was great to work with and so willing to listen to my requests for contemporary songs turned into ceremony music.
Flute for ceremony- very pretty!
Sax for cocktail hour/reception (this was the same musician as flute)- great for cocktail hour. I was envisioning more of a saxophone in the crowd, playing along with DJ music/entertaining but I often forgot he was there since it was more in the background.
Emcee- Eric knows what he's doing/how to run your timeline very well. He kept the crowd going and things moving along smoothly at all points of the night.
DJ- this is where we were a bit disappointed. To preface, I will say that we had a full dance floor at all times, which is the goal! But just wasn't entirely our style. We explained that we wanted oldies mixed in with current songs, woven in instead of separately, to keep everyone on the dance floor happy at all times. I gave very specific play/do not play songs, along with examples of mixes we liked. Instead, I felt like it was a carbon-copy playlist that is used for all weddings, not necessarily tailored to our style and preference. A few of our do not play songs were played, which we addressed with the company afterward and they were apologetic/looked into it. The last hour was a blast with all music our millennial friends enjoyed, but I wish it was like that all night with some 70s/80s/90s music mixed in like we discussed in our meetings. My friend who's a DJ also commented that the transitions weren't the best. Overall, I was trying to avoid the "Party in the USA"/ Pitbull/2009-type era wedding music at all costs which I explained, but I guess that is just what they believe gets the crowd going...which it did, just not our vibe.

If you are looking for talented, knowledgable and a professional DJ and lighting company - HIRE EBE! They are the best of the BEST. We just had our wedding this weekend, and EBE was the highlight of our night- John Guarracino was the most professional and prepared DJ/Emcee. He helped coordinate with our venue and other vendors, wrangled the bridal party and had us prepared and organized for the night, and played the BEST music. Our wedding guests were on the dance floor all night long, and my husband and I ENJOYED our wedding. Also, the lighting technician and lighting package was AMAZING.
Seriously, if you want an experienced entertainment company - look no further. Hire them. We cannot thank EBE and John enough!!!!

We hired EBE to DJ our wedding on June 25th, and they were incredible. Jonathan was super helpful along the way, answering all of our questions. We chose Josh Smilk to be our MC, and he was just awesome! He talked with us on the phone for a few hours about every detail we wanted a few weeks before the wedding, and he made sure it all happened. It was awesome having a separate DJ and MC because Josh was able to move everything along and keep everything running smoothly while the DJ worried about the music. Along with the DJ, we had a drummer and sax player which really sounded awesome. We also had a violinist and keyboardist for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and it was incredibly beautiful. Every person on their team with super professional and amazing at what they do. Our guests had so much fun, danced a ton, and didn’t want the night to end! We recommend EBE and specifically Josh, and you be so happy you hired them!!

Jon Mulhern with EBE provided the DJ services for our wedding this past weekend, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park. The dancing was practically non-stop and everyone raved about the music. I've personally never liked when the DJ constantly keeps butting in and talking over the music, and in that respect, Jon was incredible. He let the music do 99% of the work, and only spoke to introduce the bridal party or to announce some of the side events (cake cutting, father-daughter dance, etc). My wife loves to dance, and her friends and her basically never left the dance floor. I'd recommend him to anyone, he really just helped us pull off our dream wedding.

We had a great experience with DJ Bennie and his wife Faye at our wedding! My fiancé and I have quite different music tastes, so we specifically went with EBE because we wanted to be able to choose a DJ that meshed with our personalities and that would work with us leading up to the wedding to get the music just right. There was some confusion about booking just Bennie vs both Bennie and Faye, who helps him with coordinating the flow and the various formalities, but in the end EBE were very accommodating and we had both for the price of DJ Bennie alone. He absolutely nailed the musical choices! He really understood both my and my fiancé’s styles and mixed them together really well. I had a blast and was dancing the whole night. They also had great suggestions for songs to get the crowd dancing and to play during dinner, which we hadn’t thought of. We had a few calls before the wedding and both were very easy to communicate with.

My husband and I were married on May 19, 2022 and used EBE services to rent two Skee-Ball machines. We had previously been scheduled to have our wedding in 2020 but had to postpone three times due to Covid. They rescheduled with us every time and only charged us “half of what the increase should be” even though all our other vendors kept our prices exactly the same.
Our frustration only begins there. We were notified merely 24 hours before our wedding began, that one of the skeeball machines had been “destroyed“ a few WEEKS prior, and a new one was unable to be obtained. To contact a Bride and Groom about this the day before their wedding (that they waited 3 and a half years for) was appalling. To receive this news about something that we put a lot of thought into, to make our wedding reception different and unique, completely blindsided us. Furthermore, only offering a refund on the second machine with no additional compensation for the trouble, or lack of communication that this was even happening just seemed like EBE didn’t care. It may seem silly to have skee-ball machines at a wedding for the fun of it, but it's a part of our story; one which we wanted to share with the rest of our family and friends. We didn't even receive the machine pictured on the website. The one that was delivered seemed so inferior to what we ordered, even the attendant had trouble working it.
To be fair, EBE told us they tried to order a new one, and that they tried to rent one from other nearby companies and that efforts were made to replace the machine. This did not go unnoticed, but at that point, the day before our wedding, it honestly did not give us any solace about the matter.
Lastly, when we regrettably forwent the second machine, we were told we'd be issued a refund for it and proceeded to wait several weeks to receive it. This is completely unprofessional.
Obviously there is nothing we can do at this point other than be disappointed in the outcome and dissatisfied with the service from such a reputable company. We can also share our story for anyone considering using their services in the future.

Absolutely fantastic working with Matt O on the planning and logistics and DJ Eric Lowery was amazing! Played everything we asked for and his choices were spot on for our wedding and the crowd! My new husband and I love music and had a lot of ideas and opinions and Eric made it happen!!!! We also got a photo booth which was so much fun and they made us a wonderful guest book full of the pictures and messages from our guests! I got so many compliments on how wonderful the woman manning the photo booth was! Highly recommend! Every email and phone call was answered immediately and everything was perfect!

We hired EBE for our wedding DJ needs, at let me tell you, they did NOT disappoint! Frankie was an AMAZING EMCEE, he spent time getting to know us and our music preferences to make sure our night was special. He also made she we had time to ourselves and were able to eat something at the reception. Sean, our DJ, kept the dancefloor PACKED the entire night. We got SO many compliments about our music and the guys that night and in the days that followed. I would hire them again in a second!

We used EBE Verona for our wedding, and we areSO happy we did. The band leader Christine was so professional and helpful. They worked with a friend of ours to perform a song, they helped us to use a playlist of our favorite songs and artists during cocktail hour. They worked with us through last minute changes. We picked this band off of a recommendation, and we had never heard them live - they sounded amazing. Their voices, instruments, song choices - it was all great. Everyone was up dancing all night long, and couldn't stop talking about how wonderful they sounded. They really knocked it out of the park!

We booked Fiji for our wedding, they were absolutely amazing! From the beginning Marcia was incredibly easy to work with, answering all our questions, and helping us select the right music for our event. She even worked with a couple of our friends & family who made special guest appearances with the band during the night. The music and song selection was excellent and the dance floor was full literally all night. Our guests are still raving about the band and we couldn't recommend them more. Thank you Fiji!!

We hired Mike Noble to be our MC for the wedding and picked the drummer/DJ combo. Everyone was very professional! During the planning process, Mike responded to all our questions in a timely manner. He helped us prepare a wedding reception timeline that kept the partying going! The music really set the tone for our reception and it was done very well. All our guests were really happy and had a lot of fun on the dance floor. I highly recommend EBE and especially Mike! You’ll have an amazing party!

My wife and I loved our experience with EBE as well as our DJ, Ben. Ben was in contact with us regularly and went above and beyond our expectations. He was willing to offer guidance and referrals for things outside of entertainment. On the day of, he was prompt and professional and did a great job keeping everything on the timeline. Would Highly Recommend!!

The band was our top priority and we have nothing but great things to say about Fiji! From the start the band leader Marcia told us her role was to help make all the wedding planning as stress free as possible, and she most definitely did! She was super organized, a timely communicator, and shared the best ideas to make our day incredibly special. She offered her recommendations but also worked with us to make our day everything we imagined. All of our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was at our wedding. Fiji had the dance floor packed the whole entire night! They also worked with one of my bridesmaids who sang during the ceremony and my dad who played the drums for 2 songs during the reception. We are so thankful to Fiji and Marcia for making our wedding so memorable. Would recommend them in a heartbeat!

EBE has it all. The booking process is extremely simple and they offer a ton of options from bands, harpists, to DJs. Jonathan was extremely patient working with the many changes for my big day. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Jon Mulhern was our DJ and he was amazing! He nailed the music choices and even gave us the 90s throwbacks we wanted. Joan played the harp for our cocktail reception and it was the perfect addition to our art gallery wedding. Highly recommend hiring EBE!

Look no further, hire EBE. Before covid, we attended the live DJ showcase in Philly and it was a great experience. You got to talk and mingle with the MC's ahead of time and then hear them present. You get an instant feel for their style and vibe and then can call your EBE rep to hire them afterwards. We hired Anan Johnson and he was the best MC we ever could have hoped for. He catered to exactly what we were looking for and knew how to instruct the DJ to keep the party going. 10 out of 10.

We hired Matt O. To MC our wedding along with a drummer! We got some many compliments on how fun our wedding was. Our guest had never been to a wedding where everyone was up and dancing the whole night. Matt listened to our request and was easy to work with. I would recommend Matt & the entire EBE Company to anyone looking for music for any event!!

I strongly recommend EBE Entertainment for your weddings if you're in the Philadelphia area. Leading into the wedding, EBE essentially played the dual hat of day-of coordinator. We had booked them for ceremony music, happy hour, and reception. Matt worked with us with a detailed timeline, including all the do's and don'ts we had requested for the night. They helped ensure all the elements of our wedding night occurred on time and helped organize a very natural flow & progression - all the little details you wouldn't normally think about, such as how we'll transition from introductions into the first dance, father of the bride speech directly into father/daughter dance, etc. Matt was a joy to work with and I am so grateful we had him for our event. Thank you, EBE!
