You will not regret booking Benny! The dance floor was full the entire time and I loved it so much I forgot to eat dinner 🤣🤣🤣 everyone has commented on how great it was! There was so much atmosphere. Our pre wedding consultation was so helpful too and Benny knew exactly what to ask to get to know us and our guests - and exactly how to get us all dancing!

Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with the service Benny provided. There were several issues that, collectively, left us feeling let down on what was supposed to be one of the most special days of our lives.

Firstly, our scheduled video meeting was cancelled and was replaced at the new appointment time with a last minute telephone call (rather than the rearranged video meeting), which we felt was unprofessional and disengaged. It also appeared that Benny was driving during the call, which gave the impression that our wedding wasn't being taken seriously and he was disorganised.

One of the most upsetting moments was being told just 10 minutes before our first dance that the song and the start point we had specifically requested "wouldn’t work musically." This last minute notification created unnecessary stress and left us feeling disappointed at a key emotional moment. We did email our request which didnt receive a response.

In addition, although our first dance was a country song, a song that was meaningful to us, the final song of the night ended up being a mashup of various tracks, many of which we didn’t know or connect with. This ties back to our earlier call, where Benny discouraged us from selecting specific songs and instead encouraged a generalised direction (we did note on our call that we don't like all country songs etc.). Benny also said he would adjust the style throughout the night to suit the crowd and keep people dancing. In reality, this didn’t happen. We were very aware that the dance floor was mostly empty and guests didn’t seem to enjoy the music, which was even more frustrating given that, from what we were told, song requests were not played.

We also found it extremely unprofessional that Benny didn’t know the timeline of the evening and wasn’t fully prepared; this was concerning, disappointing and relates back to our initial points of unprofessional, disinterested and unorganised. This left us with an abrupt and poor ending to the night, which we note is not 'professional experienced and polished entertainment from start to finish', which Benny noted within the contract page of our agreement.

What really crossed a line was Benny's use of profanity in front of our guests (Benny said 'sorry I fucked up and you can all call me a wanker'), and particularly when you referred to one of our friends as a “prick” at the end of the night in front of us and others. This was shocking and totally unacceptable behaviour.

When we discussed the day with our guests, the feedback we received was completely negative regarding Benny's performance. This only added to our disappointment, especially in light of your comment, 'There’s no better feeling than hearing your friends and family say your wedding was the best party they’ve ever been to.' (which was one reason why we initially booked him).
Unfortunately, that sentiment felt completely out of place given the experience we all had.

We would not recommend to anyone and we would insist you look into entertainment and music very early in your wedding planning. While we requested a meeting early on, we were told it wasnt needed until 2 weeks before the wedding, which of course leaves you no time if it isn't something you like.

We highly recommend Benny Smyth as a wedding DJ - we were so luck to have been able to book Benny for our wedding on 23/08/2024. The dancefloor wasn’t empty one! It was our biggest worry for the wedding but Benny had it covered. In the lead up to the wedding, we had a very relaxed call with him to discuss our music tastes which are very different! Benny managed to bring them together in such a harmonious way, I still don’t know how he did it!
Thank you Benny for giving us such an amazing night, all our guests just loved the party.
If you’re searching for a fun DJ for your wedding, don’t hesitate!

Benny, was the DJ at our wedding at Shustoke Barn, the music he played was amazing, the lighting he used was geat, he was very up beat. He read our room and played music that he new would keep our guests dancing, although not many of our guests dance as the weather was beautiful and we spent most our time in the court yard as it was very warm and extremely beautiful outside.
Thank you Benny for being part of our wedding!!

Benny was top notch! Took on board our music tastes and requests and catered for a wide range of music styles. An excellent choice for dance floor entertainment and all round great guy. Would definitely recommend for the perfect day!

Benny was nothing short of brilliant. We were really hesitant to get a DJ at first but our venue had restrictions that meant a live band wasn't an option, so we went looking for a DJ and a DJ from the finest quality we found.

Not only has Benny got a brilliant media presence, he really cares and is so truly passionate about his DJ'ing that you aren't hiring someone who is just making a career you are hiring someone who truly cares about making it as personable and perfect as he can.

The physical set up is so professional and it looks brilliant in the back ground of all our photos. The lights really added to the atmosphere and his music choice evolved throughout the night, he played nothing but great hits and as the dance floor got bigger he picked the songs based off the vibe and what natural instinct he has!

For a good 9-12 period Benny quite literally played banger after banger (Very informal term but no other way of describing it!) The floor got busier and busier and we danced constantly for 3 hours (and I hate dancing!).

The service you get with Benny is unrivalled and I would welcome anyone to book him as you won't have a single regret.

Benny was brilliant! We had the best night partying away with Benny in control. He’s listened to all of our likes and dislikes and soundtracked our wedding perfectly. I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty! Thank you so much, highly recommend!

Benny was incredible from start to finish. Couldn’t have ask for anyone better to entertain our guests.

Benny performed at our wedding on 7th March, and was absolutely perfect.
What you notice on first meet of Benny is his infectious personality and love of what he does. His consultations were professional yet relaxed, and he took on board our music tastes and requests from our guests from our RSVPs to put together a playlist that kept the dance floor full all night! Our guests all commented on how brilliant his lighting and sound were - the Ibiza set at the end went down a storm! His use of the mic struck just the right tone and the humour went down well. Thankyou for a memorable evening :)
