The Benjamins were absolutely amazing! They were very easy to work with and we used them for every aspect of our wedding day from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. Their energy was infectious and everyone had the most amazing time. They played everything our guests wanted to hear and kept all ages on the dance floor all night long. Dennis helped us to customize the music for our ceremony to be exactly what I had hoped for, and then carried out his incredible talents throughout the rest of the night! We can not say enough good things about Dennis and his ability to make every detail perfect! Molly was also a part of our special day that we could never thank enough! Her talents gave our cocktail hour such a beautiful ambiance, and then she rocked out the whole rest of the night giving our reception the party like atmosphere we never wanted to end! We are so grateful to have had The Benjamins be part of our wedding day!
The Benjamins absolutely rocked our wedding!!! They brought amazing energy that had the dance floor packed all night long, which is exactly what we wanted! We especially loved that they played lots of 90s-2000s pop punk songs that are our favorite, and they incorporated our requests! We would book them again in a heartbeat!
Everyone should book the Benjamins for their wedding! Our guests are still talking about how great The Benjamins were. They certainly know how to pack the dance floor. We even had to move our Sweetheart Table back to make more room! They took our requests and crushed it. Dennis, Joe and Mike were a pleasure to work with and made our postponement a breeze. We are so happy that we decided to book them.
The Benjamins were one of the best parts of our wedding! They made the party and had our guests on the dance floor all night. We received so many compliments about them, and working with them was amazing and easy. Don't hesitate to book them!
The Benjamin's know how to throw a party! They were absolutely amazing and the party started and ended with them making the dance floor light up. We had them help with ceremony, cocktail hour, & dancing the night away. The MC Dennis was so fun and funny to the crowd and they just really knew how to shift the day around with any timeline hiccups that happen. They made the day the party that I wanted. The Benjamins were the 1st booking because my husband and me had seen them countless times prior. This is an easy YES to add to your wedding.
Hands down amazing! Our crowd was up dancing the entire night. The Benjamins really made things easy and didn’t allow you to overthink it. They said they got it and they really did! From our ceremony to the reception it was perfect. Our guests keep telling us how much they loved the band. Thank you for the best dance party!!
Would highly recommend the Benjamins! They did such a good job with our wedding, we received so many compliments from our guests on cocktail hour (we had acoustic guitar) and the reception. We also had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and they were so great to work with, putting all of their weddings at a higher priority than their personal shows. We so appreciated the time and attention they gave us and helped make our day so special. Really fun vibe and they played music that fed off of our crowd (we gave high level input on things we liked / didn't like and they did a great job!).
My husband and I have seen The Benjamins play at the bar where we met so many times over the years. And when we started planning our wedding, the most important thing to both of us was the band. We knew we wanted music that everyone could dance to and that kept the dance floor packed all night long.
Well, The Benjamin’s exceeded every expectation that we had! No one left the dance floor the entire night!! Joe and the team completely understood the music we were looking for - 90s and 00s with some songs our parents would want to dance to - and knocked it out of the park. We had SO many people tell us the Benjamin’s were the best wedding band they’d ever heard. Everyone was chanting “one more song” at the end of the night and of course the Benjamin’s delivered :)
I can’t thank you enough for being the BEST part of our wedding! See you at Willies soon!
My husband and I have seen The Benjamin's perform at multiple bars and we make a point to go to our favorite LBI beach bar when they are there. As soon as we got engaged 2 years ago our friends all jokingly asked if we were going to have them play at our wedding- I'm SO happy we took their idea seriously. The Benjamin's kept the dance floor upbeat and PACKED the entire night (even aunts, uncles and grandparents were dancing!) Communicating with them was so easy and we loved how personalized and comfortable they made the entire experience. 10/10 would recommend
If you’re looking for a band that will put on an amazing show and your guests will rave about for days to come, book The Benjamins! Not only did Dennis and Joe really walk me through all the details beforehand since I was so lost and overwhelmed, but they took our rather small list of requests and curated an amazingly perfect show. So many of our guests were on the dance floor that a second dance floor formed in the back of the reception! They joked with our guests, had the room laughing, cheering, and singing, and truly captured my husband and I with a flawless performance for our wedding. Should we ever have another big event, The Benjamins will be there !
We have revived nothing but compliments since our wedding about the Benjamins! They made our wedding so fun! Every single one of our guest were up dancing having a blast! Book the Benjamins today!
The Benjamins killed it!! They kept the dance floor packed and the party going all night. We received so many compliments on them and they were definitely a highlight of our wedding day. If you're thinking of booking them- DO IT!! Highly highly recommend!
My wedding guests could not stop asking me "Where did you find them!? They are amazing" and "I didn't leave the dance floor all night!" The Benjamins truly made my wedding so perfect. They were one of the first vendors I booked after getting engaged. They are fun, good looking! and ensured that all of the guests had fun! They were professional and so accommodating, even with my out of the normal requests. I cannot thank them enough for the special tribute they helped me with. ..really I couldn't have done it without you. They sang when I walked down the aisle and it was everything I had hoped for! Dennis couldn't have been any more thorough. We went through everything prior to the wedding and he did such a great job. Joe and the entire band were so much FUN! it was absolute perfection!!!!
If you want to keep your guests on the dance floor all night, look no further than the Benjamins! Joe and Dennis were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They were professional and brought our vision to life. We told them we wanted a “fun” vibe, and that’s exactly what they brought! They are extremely talented and our guests went crazy over them. If you can’t decide between a live band or a DJ, book the Benjamins and you will get the best of both. Thank you guys so much for making our wedding so fun! Love, Jillian and Charles
We are SO happy we booked the Benjamins for our wedding. Joe and Dennis were so great and easy to work with for the entire process. The music starting at the cocktail hour was great and during the reception it was fantastic. Booking them was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding.
BEST DECISION EVER. Our wedding was legit the most epic concert and the music was incredible!!! The Benjamins offer so many different packages and given COVID, we went with an Acoustic Duo + DJ for our cocktail hour, then transitioned to a Trio (2 Guitarists and Drummer) + DJ for the reception. The band literally has 1000+ songs to chose from --- however, we were unique in that we did not want any cliche wedding songs and requested all 90's alternative, jam band, grunge, rock songs and they EXCEEDED our expectations. During the reception we request on-the-spot System of a Down's "Chop Suey" and The Benjamins were so flexible and immediately tuned their guitars to the right key and NAILED IT. Not only are their voices incredible (Joe's range is insane)... but they are extremely talented guitarists. Their song arrangements were freaking awesome (we had an acoustic version of a Cascada song). Also, one big aspect to wedding planning is having everyone ask you what your doing for music... and the second I told friends/family we hired The Benjamins -- I never expected all the positive/excited reactions from everyone already knowing or seeing them live at shows. I can go on and on... so worth it. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The Benjamin’s were an AMAZING addition to our wedding. They made sure the night never died out and kept our guests moving! The guests raved about them all night and how much fun they were having. The management behind the band is great and easily available to speak with. They were flexible and super helpful during the stressful times. The complete package with DJ and solo guitar for ceremony made sure the music continued from start to finish. We highly recommend booking them for you wedding!
The Benjamins are amazing!! My husband and I heard them at another wedding many years ago. I remembered their name because I knew I would want to use them one day when I made a wedding for my daughter. My son in law really wanted to be involved in this one aspect of the wedding- the music. I suggested he check out The Benjamins. Although he had heard them play many times locally in Hoboken, he was unaware they performed at weddings too. He was thrilled!! Joe was easy to work with and very professional. At the wedding they kept my guests on the dance floor all night. My caterer said she never saw the dance floor so packed for an entire event.
Stop what you're doing and book the Benjamins! My husband and I agreed that the DJ/band can make or break a wedding and we knew we didn't want a traditional band. As residents of Hoboken, we'd seen The Benjamins perform in local bars around town multiple times and always loved them, but we had no idea they played weddings too. My parents had seen them at a wedding many years ago and convinced us to book. We are so happy we did! The dance floor was packed all night and we still have people talking to us about it. One person commented that they only played one slow song the whole night -- which kept everyone out of their seats the entire evening. We also used them for our ceremony and cocktail hour and everything was perfect. If you want to make sure that your guests are on the dance floor, definitely reach out soon because they book up fast!
BOOK THEM RIGHT NOW! The Benjamins were AMAZING and a huge part of what made our wedding day. They were so easy to work with and Dennis, our MC, helped with all of our requests for dances, speeches, etc. They have so much energy and will get everyone out on the floor dancing. We knew The Benjamins were the band for us after going to one of their shows. We still have people telling us two months later how amazing they were. Book them now - you won't regret it!
We booked the Benjamins after seeing them perform at a wedding, and had SO much fun. They did not disappoint for our wedding - we filled out their song form online but when we talked to them, we really gave them free rein and trust to play the right mix of songs for our crowd. The dance floor was packed all night, and we received so many compliments on the band and the DJ, Dennis. They truly know how to keep a party going!! Highly recommend The Benjamins!!
The Benjamins were the best decision we made throughout the wedding planning process! We had seen them perform at bars from Hoboken down to the Jersey Shore many times before so we already knew how incredible they were, but they ROCKED our wedding beyond what we could have ever imagined! The weeks leading up to your wedding can be very stressful, but the Benjamins are the epitome of professionalism and reached out well in advance to assure us they were ready to go and we had nothing to worry about! They made us feel so comfortable day-of that we felt they had been our friends for years just there to celebrate our special day. We had a wide variety of age ranges and the Benjamins had every single person on the dance floor from their first song through to their last. They were open to requests and extremely flexible with us and our guests. They made our big day unforgettable and we would hire them again in a heartbeat! Our guests have not stopped raving about how incredible our wedding was and we truly believe we owe it all to the Benjamins.
Rewind two years ago, my cousin brought me to see the Benjamins at a bar. I had no interest in booking a band for my wedding but I went anyway. They were absolutely amazing that night and I booked them the next day. From that night and for two years leading up to the wedding they were consistently amazing every time I saw them out and our wedding night was no exception. The dance floor was packed from the minute they started until the very last song. The Benajmins were able to keep everyone from our friends to the oldest people attending our wedding entertained and on the dance floor all night long. They play a great variety of songs for everyone. I am still hearing from people about how much fun they had and how amazing the band was. Even my dad who was skeptical about not having a traditional wedding band was on the dance floor and said to me that night how amazing they were. Through out the whole planning process Joe was absolutely amazing, You can text him at any time and he gets back to you right away and reassures you that everything is going to be great, and he was right. We asked him to learn our first dance song, Grow Old by Florida Georgia Line, and he absolutely rocked it! I also have to shout out Dennis (the drummer and MC/DJ) who was also so amazing to work with. He called me a few weeks before the wedding to discuss entrances, songs, etc. He was so easy to talk to and promised to make everything fun and smooth and he pulled through. He had all of the guests laughing at his intros and little jokes here and there. He also kept the dance floor packed while the band was off. Last shout out goes to Molly who did our cocktail hour. She was absolutely amazing. She has the most beautiful voice and played a great variety of songs. So many people were coming up to me at the cocktail hour complimenting her and saying they had never been to a cocktail hour with such great music. Lastly, if you want to add a piece I definitely recommend Bobby on the keyboard! He was amazing and really entertaining! If you are planning on getting a band for your wedding do not hesitate to book the Benjamins. They are the best of the best and will not disappoint!

The Benjamins was BY FAR our favorite part of our wedding! They are an incredible band and your guests will be on the dance floor all night long! Besides the fact that they are extremely talented and have a great range of their playlist, they were wonderful to work with. They were very open to all of my questions and suggestions through the entire process. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a band that’s going to make your wedding feel like a concert! I honestly cannot say enough positive things to express how thrilled we were!
The Benjamins made our wedding!!! We hired them to do our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and we couldn't be happier! I cannot express how much fun we had because of them. People are asking us what occasion we can hire them next for. The dance floor was packed all night, they know how to keep a crowd moving and were so chill when it came to our rowdy guests. We worked with Joe throughout the whole process and gave him full reign. My only criteria was keeping everyone up and moving and they delivered!!! If you're looking for an awesome band that is the full package stop wasting your time and hire the Benjamins!!!
I'm not actually sure I can express through a review how absolutely EPIC The Benjamins were for our December 2018 wedding! The one request my husband had, during our wedding-planning process, was for a band. And we chose The Benjamins, having grown up at the shore where we've seen them play. It was an easy decision - but I don't think we knew how absolutely incredible they would be. The most important part of a wedding is the music and The Benjamins delivered. We worked with Joe throughout the planning process and he answered all of my questions and listened to what we wanted, offering suggestions to make it even better than we imagined. The dance floor was literally packed ALL night, thanks to them and Guilano, the DJ, and we received so much feedback on how incredible they were and how much fun everyone had! Thank you for making our night perfect!
If you want to have a wedding where all of your guests have fun and don't stop dancing you have to hire The Benjamins! Our guests couldn't stop raving about how much fun our wedding was thanks to their amazing musical talents! They know just how to get everyone up on their feet dancing and keep them there! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have the best time!!
MOST AMAZING WEDDING BAND! The Benjamins MADE our wedding the most fun, rockin', amazing time. Everyone, young and old, was on the dance floor ALL night! Seriously, there was not one lull in the night-- everyone was dancing and having the best time. The song selection was perfect. They played all of the songs we wanted to hear and they sounded SO good. Seriously fantastic musicians! Every single guest raved about them. From start to finish, working with the Benjamins was super easy. They are professional and damn good at what they do. I can go on and on but I think I hit it-- our wedding was fantastic because of them! We had the absolute time of our lives!
The Benjamins played at our wedding on 7/14/18 and they were AMAZING! Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour acoustic to the full band during the reception, they had everything completely under control. They sounded great and I have never seen a dance floor so packed at a wedding... I never sat down the entire night! Thank you guys :) Definitely recommend.
The Benjamins are AWESOME! We found them because they play at a local bar in our town. Everytime we ever saw them we always had a great time so we knew they needed to the band that played at our wedding. We dealt with Joe and Dennis. They were both helpful and made sure that we would have the perfect playlist for our special day. I needed particular songs and Dennis was able to find them and add them to make sure they were played that night. The music was perfect. My guests and I did not stop dancing the entire night. They brought an energy and sense of fun that made the night so amazing. I cannot say enough about The Benjamins and can’t wait to see them perform again. We were so lucky to have them be our wedding band. Thank you for making the night so perfect. If you need a wedding band you can’t go wrong with The Benjamins, so definitely pick them. You will have the best night of your life.
The Benjamins were awesome! They are a great band and play a huge variety of music. We booked the 8 piece band (with MC/DJ) for our summer wedding and could not be happier with our decision to do so as they really made our wedding the most fun night ever! Joe is awesome and super helpful, he had a lot of great suggestions and constantly reassured me they would do everything to keep the party going!
We received so many compliments after our wedding about The Benjamins, all of our guests loved them and had so much fun dancing all night!
Absolutely unbelievable wedding experience with The Benjamins. We had them at our wedding Memorial Day Weekend and they were the hit of the party. Guests were coming up to us all night and in the days afterwards and saying that they were the best wedding band they had ever seen, and we agree!
Dennis was super accommodating with all of our requests (and there were a lot - sorry Dennis!) and worked with us to make sure it all went off without a hitch. He was an amazing MC and DJ (and drummer!) during the event and nailed everything we asked of him. He took the time to chat with us several times prior to the event and reviewed, multiple times, the exact order of events for the night, it was wonderful and we felt like we were in good hands.
Joe was also extremely helpful in planning the whole event, from the ceremony music, to the cocktail hour music, he was in constant contact with us leading up to the event to make sure that we had everything setup the way we wanted it. They even took a special request for ceremony music and they able to accommodate it with flying colors, it was absolutely awesome. Joe also did an amazing job of working with me during the reception to make sure that everything was going according to plan and making sure that any on-the-fly requests were handled right away. It was far beyond what we expected.
Their management team (We worked with Chriss) was super responsive, super clear and super helpful throughout the whole process. Any questions we had were answered right away and with perfect clarity.
If you've ever been to one of their shows, you will know how amazing their energy and quality is, and they brought that same energy to our wedding, everybody had an absolute blast and my groomsmen danced so hard their pants were torn to shreds. It was a magical night and it would not have been as amazing if it weren't for The Benjamins.
Thank you guys!!!!!

We have been following the Benjamins for a while now, and we always said that when we got married — they would be the ones to create the soundtrack for our day!! Well, that day finally came — June 3rd 2018. We booked the Benjamins for our wedding without hesitation because we knew it was the best choice we could have made and we were SO right!! We left our playlist TOTALLY in their hands — trusting them to play off the crowd rather than micromanaging. They did SUCH an amazing job, everyone was out dancing from young to old. Every single guest complimented us on our choice and said they only wish we could have danced and rocked out longer!! Dennis the drummer was our MC for the night and he was lively and funny and kept the crowds attention. Our wedding Day was perfect, I would not have changed a thing... and I attribute a very big part of that perfection to the Benjamins, because they set the stage for an amazing, fun-filled, High energy night!!
Thank you so much again for everything, I only wish we could relive it over and over again!!
Love,
Jessica & Danny
The Benjamins are the BEST band and possibly my favorite part of our wedding day (minus marrying the love of my life, of course). The number of compliments that we received on our band is endless – people could not stop talking about how great they were! We even had friends that loved them so much they went out to see them in Hoboken after the wedding! After the initial conversation with Joe, I immediately was ready to book the band – Joe was easygoing and funny and not only did the band sound awesome, I knew they would be a fantastic time! We went out to a bar to watch them perform and we had a blast, my dad thought they were so great that he even came out with us again to see them a few weeks later! Throughout the months and weeks leading up to our wedding, Joe was extremely responsive with any questions and very organized with presenting how the reception would play out. During our reception we were running a little behind schedule due to the length of some speeches and Joe suggested cutting out the acoustic section and extending the set which was perfect since the dance floor was packed the entire night! I would recommend The Benjamins to any couple who wants to have fun on their wedding day! Their music and energy was incredible and I cannot thank The Benjamins enough – we had so much fun and we truly did not want to leave the dance floor all night!!
I have been a fan of the benjamins for years! They are by far the most energetic and talented band that plays at our local bars. As soon as I booked my wedding I reached out to them. From that minute on they were complete professionals. Joe was always quick to respond to questions. When it came time to finalizing the playlist and the timeline Joe and Dennis spent hours on the phone with us. They have so much experience so they were able to tell us what worked and didn’t work at other weddings. The night of our wedding they ROCKED. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We didn’t do a sit down dinner- and many people didn’t ever leave the dance floor. Guests were constantly RAVING about the band that night and my phone has not stopped ringing telling me the same thing. I am a musician myself and I can tell you I have never seen a better wedding band. I have even been to weddings where my friends paid over 20,000 for their bands... the benjamins were so much better than those! If you want your guests dancing all night- look No where else... the benjamins are it!!! Thank you guys for making our wedding the night of our dreams!
After getting engaged my fiancé and I put together a priority list for our wedding and near the top of that was an awesome band or DJ. We wanted the dance floor to be packed all night. Living in NJ for so many years, the Benjamins stood out from all the times they preformed at the local bars. From there we pickup up the phone and talked to Joe about our wedding, our date was available, and the rest is history. Joe provided us with several options and details for our wedding that made it fun to plan. On top of the Benjamins 3 set performance, they provided us with a DJ for the entire night. Dennis was awesome, before the wedding he prepped us perfectly to ensure our entrances, speeches, and music were amazing. The night of our wedding, Joe came up to my wife and I with a little surprise for us and it was to tell us they added an extra piece to the band for the night since he was not feeling 100%. You would have never know that cause they did not miss a beat all night! It was so much fun to work with The Benjamins and we can’t thank them enough for providing amazing entertainment for our wedding and for keeping the dance floor packed all night. We still have friends and family taking about the band at our wedding and telling us they want to see them again. Although nothing will top our wedding performance, we can’t to attend an event with the Benjamins in the future.
The Benjamins played at our wedding on 10/6/17. After going to see the Benjamins at Joe Pops in LBI for years, we knew we couldn't have our wedding without them! Joe was super helpful in helping us arrange an acoustic guitarist for our beach ceremony, and even brought a mic for our officiant. We had a keyboardist for cocktail hour, then after that Dennis the DJ/MC/drummer extraordinaire got our intros and dances started smoothly. Once The Benjamins got started, no one left the dance floor the entire night and all of our guest had a blast! They were super accommodating, played all our favorite songs, and closed out the night with Rage Against the Machine. Literally nothing could have been better--can't wait to see them again this summer!
Would give them an even higher rating if possible! We had our ceremony off-site so they provided us with music during the cocktail hour and reception. Fabulous acoustic during cocktail and dinner and a PARTY during the last few hours of the reception. Because they also have a DJ as part of their group to cover songs during the band's sets, we really felt like we got the best of both worlds. Our guests didn't stop talking about the band for weeks. They were really easy to work with, made us feel at ease, and were really great at reading the crowd and getting people dancing. We had a full dance floor all night - would highly recommend!
I can't put into words how amazing The Benjamins were. From the gorgeous piano playing during the ceremony to the mesmerizing acoustic guitar during the cocktail hour to the upbeat, nonstop dance party at the reception. Pure excellence!!! The whole team was very easy to work with and played the songs we requested. But the icing on the cake was surprising us with letting my now husband's sister play a song on the guitar with them! I knew I didn't want a "wedding" band so when I saw them play in Montclair last summer, I booked them instantaneously. The were definitely a crowd pleaser so if you're looking for the best night of your life, these are your guys!!!
The Benjamins performed at our wedding on 11/11/17 at Crystal Springs Resort (Grand Cascades Lodge) and it was the GREATEST experience of our entire lives. I can't even put into words how UNREAL this band is. From the second our bridal party walked in, the reception turned into the most epic dance party ever. Each and every song they chose was perfect, between the cocktail hour acoustic, to Joe's dinner solo session, to the dance party sing alongs. Joe was so great to work with and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. Dennis (the DJ, MC, and drummer) was also awesome to work with and got the crowd hyped before we even walked through the door. Our family and friends were SO SO impressed and can not stop raving about how much fun they had (seriously, they won't stop talking about you guys). I can't say enough good things about this group. DO NOT look anywhere else. I have seen cheesy wedding bands and this is the complete opposite of that. You will have the greatest wedding experience ever. I would not even consider having any other band or group! I can't wait to see how many of my guests choose to have The Benjamins at their own weddings, because of the amazing time they had at our wedding. You guys are so AWESOME and I wish we could relive that night over and over again. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding an absolute DREAM!

The Benjamins played at our wedding on the beach last weekend and they made the night for us!! We have heard them play numerous times before and they fit exactly what we were looking for. They kept the crowd going and had great energy throughout. They were extremely helpful and accommodating discussing the details of the event leading up to it. Overall very versatile in their musical selections and they gave us a night we will remember forever. After the event the majority of the compliments were in regards to the Benjamins. Thank you again!
We LOVED every minute of having the Benjamins entertain our wedding guests! We have seen them perform at various places in the Morristown area and always love their high energy. They did an incredible job performing and getting our guests on the dance floor!! The best thing about the Benjamins was how talented they are at playing a MASSIVE amount of songs from various decades. We had songs for every age guest, regardless of their music preference. It was so much fun for us to see everyone from my 91 year old grandma singing along to a favorite Frank Sinatra song down to our 3 year old flower girl dancing to Taylor Swift. People were dancing and singing along the entire night! During dinner our DJ/MC did a great job playing a selection of some classic music. He also did a wonderful job shortening our first dances to the lengths we specifically asked. I also have to say that the manager of the Benjamins was a joy to deal with!! I probably emailed him 50 times, and he always answered promptly and so enthusiastically! It made us feel so excited that the band had created a play list from our specific requests! We also LOVED having cocktail music entertainment and ceremony music provided by The Benjamins. They set up early and brought a microphone so that we could say our own vows outdoors with all our guests. We were beyond impressed with the talent and energy this group brought to our special day. It made our wedding an incredible and unforgettable party. Thank you!!!
Absolutely amazing! Joe & team were so flexible & really cared about what we wanted to accomplish for our wedding. They were flexible, prompt in responsiveness & worked with our budget. On top of that, they made our New Year's Eve wedding one big dance party which was exactly what we wanted! Our family & friends raved about them & said it was one of the best bands they have ever seen at a wedding AND they came with a DJ! I honestly can't say enough about them & how amazing they were for us. If you want a band at your wedding I honestly wouldn't even consider looking anywhere else. I want to get married all over again just so we can have a dance party with them!
To start, with a budget-crazy fiancé, I thought I was always fighting uphill to get a band. I took her to see several bands and the Benjamins stood out way above the rest in every aspect from lighting to song selection to stage presence. What clinched it was the fact that the lead singer, Joe went out of his way to greet us every chance we got to visit, and remembered our lone request six months later to close out our wedding. Honestly, don’t even waste your time looking at other bands. This is it. Just from our short conversations and judging our crowd reactions they knew exactly what to play at the right time. I couldn’t tell you the amount of guests that came up to me asking where we found them. When it comes to wedding music, the one thing we didn’t want was just background music. They certainly made their presence felt. Everybody was on their feet enjoying themselves… including me and I NEVER dance. In the end it was my wife thanking me that I convinced her to hire them. It completed our perfect night.
We knew we wanted a band for our wedding that would have our guests out on the dance floor all night and The Benjamins were the perfect fit for us! We wanted a band that wasn't you typical "wedding band" and we wanted it to just be a party. They were amazing! Jeremy was so helpful is assisting us with all of the planning and he was so patient with us through the process. They even pulled through at the last minute for us when we needed sound equipment for our ceremony! They were the perfect entertainment for our wedding and we would highly recommend them!!
My husband and I heard The Benjamins play at a bar and loved their sound and energy and were so excited to have them play at our wedding. They sounded amazing at the wedding and had everyone young and old up and dancing the whole night. My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor! They played a range of music that appealed to all of the guests. Their energy makes you never want to leave the dance floor as you’re in fear of missing another great song. The next day at breakfast, all the guests kept telling us how much they loved the band and how great they sounded. Our wedding was two months ago and we are still getting compliments on how fun our wedding was because we had such an awesome band. The Benjamins are absolutely the best and are a must have for your wedding if you want great music and to see all your guests dancing!
Hired the Benjamins trio for my sister's cocktail hour. It was a last minute booking, and Joe was on top of all the details. He responded to all of my questions quickly and efficiently. They pulled off an amazing performance with only 2 weeks notice. They played all the songs that we requested, and were extremely easy to work with. Everyone at the wedding was commenting on how amazing they sounded and how entertaining the band was. People of all ages enjoyed their music, from the very young crowd to the older guests, all were rocking along with the Benjamins. They were the talk of the night, and many guests asked when and where they were playing next so that they could be at their next show. Music at a wedding can either make it or break it, and the Benjamins are always a sure hit! Thank you for making my sister's wedding unforgettable.
The Benjamins were absolutely fantastic! They had the dance floor packed the entire night. They played a wide range of music that pleased everyone - young and old. I cannot recommend them enough. They were very easy to work with and were super accommodating - both in what were wanted and in price. Giuliano, the DJ they work with was equally as awesome and did a great job emceeing. I have gotten rave reviews about how fun they were and what a great time everyone had! I would definitely recommend them!
We used The Benjamin's for our wedding 2 weeks ago and had a blast! They were extremely professional as was the DJ they worked with. The key to a fantastic reception is good music and The Benjamin's definitely delivered. Our guests were up on the dance floor from the first song played until the very end. The dance floor was always packed which was awesome! After the wedding we had so many people tell us what a great time they had and a huge part of that is due to The Benjamin's performance. Our wedding reception was exactly what we wanted and we have to band to thank for that! Awesome awesome band!!
What can I say? They killed it! They were absolutely amazing! We were so lucky and blessed that they were able to rearrange their schedule, as they were already booked initially for another event. We dealt with Alex at Stars Productions. He was not only excellent to work with, but extremely accommodating and quick to respond whenever questions or concerns came about. We met with Jeremy from the band over the summer to iron out the details. He was so excited for us and so happy to have the opportunity to play for us at our wedding. Everyone came up to us all night long and asked "How in the world did you get The Benjamins?" Even today, as the weekend has come to a close, there is still an enormous amount of chatter, compliments, and sheer amazement from so many. Because our family and friends were so impressed by their perfomance and the fact that we were able to book them, it reiterates to us that we made the right choice. Thank you so much to Jeremy, Alex, and the rest of the band for making a humongous difference and leaving a lasting impression on all of us. We are very grateful!

Living in NJ, we've seen this band many times at bars and night clubs. However, they are much more versatile than that. They provided us a huge list of hundred plus songs that we could choose from. The songs ranged in genre and spanned from the 50's to current. All business was done through Jeremy (their drummer). He was very professional and easy to work with. Jeremy took time to go over the different packages that they offer. We decided on going with a 6 piece band for our reception. They included a female vocalist and a keyboard player. The Benjamins also provided a DJ who acted as the MC and handled all the activites for the night, and also played music during the meals. The DJ was also very helpful with assisting us in selecting songs for the special wedding activities such as entrance songs, cake cutting, bouquet toss etc. The DJ helped everyone to get on their feet and start dancing and The Benjamins carried it on through the wedding. As the party went on The Benjamins kept raising the energy of the event. They even had people dancing who you normally never see dance. They even played a special requests that I gave them the day of the wedding. Highly recommend and true professionals!
The Benjamins provided us with an unforgettable wedding. They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. They were able to provide a setlist to our music choices. Everyone complimented them how amazing they were. We can't wait to see them again and can't recommend them enough, how much fun and entertainment they can bring to your wedding.
The Benjamins were amazing. They invited my fiance and I to come listen to them play one night and we loved them. Jeremy was very easy to work with and professional and they were all very talented. Unfortunately the lead singer was not available for our date, but we booked them anyway and we so happy that we did! Our guests loved the music and they were on the dance floor all night long. After going over the details with Jeremy, he made sure that everything was taken care of and under control the day of so that it was completely stress free. My parents had an amazing band on their wedding day and everyone always talks about how great their band was so it was also very important for me to have an amazing band and I am proud to say that we succeeded with the Benjamins. They were able to cover everything from 1950's to today which made everyone including our grandparents and our friends get on the dance floor.
I would 100% recommend the Benjamins for anyone who is looking for a professional, fun, talented band for any private event. They went above and beyond for our wedding day and were a pleasure to work with.
anyone that is looking for a band to keep their party going all night should look no further. professional on time and always responsive to concerns. they made it a point to customize the night exactly how we wanted it and didn't have any problem with a single request no matter how weird ( like the groom singing born to run with the band for instance).
The DJ and MC were perfect as well and included in the price. if you want a real band and not just a cheesy wedding act the Benjamin's are the way to go.
We really wanted a band for our wedding, but we were really afraid we'd hire some weekend only wedding singer band without much soul to them. Then we saw the Benjamins play at The Downtown in Red Bank. They were amazing, we had so much fun. These guys were stellar musicians who made their living playing all over, not just for weddings here and there. Their music was fresh. Their communication with us was great. Our guests raved about them the entire weekend. Highly recommended!
We had seen The Benjamins perform many times at the Jersey Shore and when I found out they did weddings I knew they would be my wedding band. They were the highlight of the night. I keep hearing "most fun wedding ever" and I know much of this is due to The Benjamins' performance. Everyone was up out of their seats from teenagers to both of my 85 year old grandmothers. My musician uncle was very impressed with their professionalism. They played a wide range and allowed us to select our likes and dislikes from a long list of songs. The Benjamins completely brought our wedding to the next level.
I don't even know where to start... The Benjamin's are the BEST EVER!!!!, thus I gave 5 stars for everything. I have been a fan of them for years (at least 10 yrs) and when a friend put the bug in my ear to hire them for my wedding I couldn't resist. They're extremely kind and were so respectful when it came to my ideas and my music choices; I can't thank them enough. My wedding was 8/16/13 and no joke, I still have people young and older asking me "where did I find that band?". The Benjamin's made our day so much more special, they played all our favorite songs and customized our first dance ("Danny's song") w lyrics for our daughter and it just blew our minds. I have to also say their team (Tom the Dj and Jose the MC) were phenomenal. I was emailing Tom w new ideas almost every night for 2 weeks and he fulfilled all my requests. THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!! If you are honestly looking for a band you need to go w The Benjamin's and their team. THEY ROCK!!!!
Words can not describe the performance The Benjamin's put on for our wedding. We still have family members and friends telling us how amazing they were. From the entrance music of our ceremony, to the acoustic cocktail hour, and right down to the reception, they showed nothing but professionalism and talent. With their style and wide genre of music, they managed to encourage everyone at our wedding to dance, even the most stubborn people who never get up or go near the dance floor. We highly recommend them to everyone we meet and proudly brag that they were OUR wedding band for the greatest day of our lives.
The Benjamins were amazing! Everyone was telling me how much they they loved the band. The dance floor was filled the entire night with guests of all ages. The acoustics during the cocktail hour created the perfect atmosphere. This is the one and only band to get for a wedding! They cater to your tastes and everyone will have an absolute blast!
I love the Benjamins. I see them at the local bars but was a bit apprehensive to have them at my wedding because of the change of venue/crowd. They exceeded all expectations - Everyone loved them (of all ages) and I can't be happier that I chose to have them play at my wedding. I would definitely recommend the acoustic cocktail hour as well.
