What an incredible talent. He Entertained our wedding crowd with ease and made us all sing along and have a great time!
He made our wedding so much fun and we will not forget the way he sang our first dance song!
Sheldon did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding. My husband and our family are fans of his music, and regularly went to see him play when he was in Key West. We were over th...
e moon when he agreed to play for us on our big day! He was without a doubt the biggest “deal” we got for our wedding - his price is so reasonable for the talent he has and the show he puts on.
Sheldon was very easy to work with. He was quick to respond, and has such a kind, down to earth, and relatable personality. He was willing to either play for us throughout the course of our entire wedding, or act as a “DJ” for the latter part. We chose to let Sheldon play for the entirety, and he absolutely crushed it! He can play a wide variety of genres, and does an amazing job at reading the crowd so that he can quickly adapt to the vibe and play what fits the room best. He does fun and unique things like play the guitar over his head/behind his back, and does mashups of popular songs, which really gets the crowd going. He also is a great MC! He is quick on his feet, and truly is a natural in all things music and entertainment. Several of our guests raved about his talent.
Additionally, Sheldon learned a few new songs that we requested for our processional, First Dance, Father Daughter Dance, and Mother Son Dance. It was so special to have a live performer play these special songs for us. Sheldon really was so accommodating and did an outstanding job.
If you are looking for a fun, yet unique and intimate entertainment experience at your wedding, Sheldon is your guy. He is a standout performer and will help to make your wedding one for the books. I wish I could give him more than 5 stars!
We hired Sheldon for our destination wedding of around 60 people after seeing him play at another site and in another state 1-2 years prior. He is our favorite person to see live &...
he did not disappoint on our wedding day!! He was super easy to book with, responsive, reliable, and a crowd pleaser! He made sure to include & learn some of our specific song requests—including our first dance, Perfect by Ed Sheeran. Book with him & you will not be disappointed!!
Sheldon Benton is a fantastic performer and a great entertainer. He helped our wedding reception go down without a hitch. The guests loved him and often commented to my wife and me...
