EBE Talent

ors to keep the night running smoothly. We had a blast and are happy to recommend EBE!

one involved. I would highly recommend EBE and specifically Ben for your event music needs.

ke 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!

ble 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.

ot 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.

'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!

us with our choices and deciding on our ceremony music. I would book him for every event I have.

d he created the perfect playlist. I highly recommend this company and Jon Mulhern specifically!

etween 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.

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!

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.

nt wild as we stomped all over the Giants on our wedding night! Thank you Jon! Go birds!

pt the energy going! He also made our private dance feel very special.

! 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!

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!

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!

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

s 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!

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.

e floor. We had a great time!

m. 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.

h 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.

ssional 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!!!!

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!!

tantly 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.
