 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough good things about Ben. We interviewed three DJs for our wedding and Ben stood out BY FAR. He is unapologetically himself, has great humor, and expansive knowledge of music and how to put things together that flow seamlessly. We met with Ben before the wedding to review his fillable form with all our requests and must have songs. The music during our ceremony was perfectly timed and completely customizable. He was also great with announcements and keeping us on our curated timeline. As for the reception, we had over half of our guests stay until the end of the evening, and we ate up that dance floor! He absolutely killed it and kept the vibe we asked for. I would him recommend to everyone!! So many guests complimented him as a a DJ, but also said how friendly and fun he was. 10/10!

We wanted someone who could not only keep the dance floor alive throughout the night, but also make our ceremony special and our cocktail hour lively, and he did an amazing job at everything! Additionally, he was so helpful with creating our timeline for the evening, and his experience really showed throughout the entire process. We are so glad we chose Ben as our DJ. 10/10!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding! He genuinely cares about making your special day everything you dreamed it would be and went above and beyond for us several times. Not only did Ben and his daughter create a Disney video playlist to play during dinner, but the idea for the playlist actually came from a conversation when he dropped my mom off at home after our pre-wedding meeting. She had gotten a flat tire and he offered to drop her off on his way home.  We were all so grateful and the act of kindness really showed us how much he cared even before our wedding day! At the wedding, our guests kept telling us how much fun they were having. In fact, many of them said they had a hard time leaving because they wanted to stay for “just one more song”! I would highly recommend Ben for any event. If you’re looking for a DJ who truly cares about his clients, goes the extra mile, and knows how to get everyone on the dance floor, Ben is the DJ for you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Ben Ricci DJ our summer outdoor wedding & we could not say enough nice things about Ben! From being so responsive & helpful during the planning process to showing up the day of super early to make sure he’s all set up correctly. He was on top of it with everything we asked him to do with a smile on his face & the dance floor was popping!! Ben Ricci does it best, 10/10 best DJ ever!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can not recommend DJ Ben enough for a wedding, party, corporate event or any other DJ needs! He was the DJ at our Jan 2026 wedding and he absolutely rocked the house. The was were shaking with bass, the floor vibrating with people on the dance floor. He read the crowd perfectly with timing songs, when to slow it down or speed it up etc. I genuinely can not spot one mistake or area of improvement to point out. It was a nightclub style vibe all night, my grandma was dancing to get low lol. Songs faded in and out at the perfect times and no awkward pauses. Ben, you do exceptional work. Thank you for making our day so memorable and for truly becoming a friend. I can’t wait to recommend all friends and family your way!

He was patient, always willing to answer any questions and encouraged our ideas. He absolutely DELIVERED his DJ experience in a way that made our wedding so iconically memorable. The lights, the sound systems, the specialized songs. We had so many people reach out to us after saying what an amazing DJ we had and that the music was so fun! Literally had EVERYONE (over 200 people) dancing!! We couldn’t be more grateful to have had DJ Ben Ricci in our corner during our wedding season.

10/19/25 We used Ben for our DJ and let me tell you from the first meeting to our goodbye he was the absolute best!!!!!!! We had a very small wedding and he still managed to keep people dancing and having fun, we had special songs and entrances and be executed everything I wanted perfectly. I had a special ceremony surprise intro for my husband and when I sent him the recording he noticed there was some noise and he spent the time to remove it so it sounded amazing!! Ben was always quick to answer text messages and any crazy requests I had! I would recommend him to anyone in a minute! You will be in the best hands!! Thank you MR AND MRS WILLIAMS

Ben ricci did an amazing job at my daughter’s wedding. He was thorough when determining what we needed—microphones for speeches, uplighting ect. My biggest concern was getting my guests dancing and avoiding a dead dance floor. He ensured there was never a moment in which the dance floor wasn’t full. I can’t recommend him enough.

We loved how prepared he was and knew his experience would help make our wedding day seamless. DJ Ben has back up equipment, downloads all music, and thinks through every scenario to ensure there’s no issue with sound/audio equipment. At night, he lit up the dance floor and made sure the party didn’t stop. We’re so grateful he was part of our day and would recommend him to any friend!

FAQs

How long have you been a professional DJ?
I have been a professional DJ for over 25 years. Music is my passion, and it shows in every event I perform.

How many events have you played?
I have performed at more than 2,400 events, with the majority being weddings in the Cleveland area.

Can you provide sound for both the ceremony and reception?
Yes. For ceremonies, I provide wireless lapel microphones for the officiant and groom, a stand microphone for readers if needed, and all the music required for the ceremony. For the reception, I provide a professional sound system customized to fit the venue. Additional sound can be provided for remote cocktail locations as needed.

What if you’ve never played at our venue? Will you do a site check prior to the event?
I have performed at over 240 venues, so chances are I’ve been there. If not, I will absolutely do a site check to ensure sound and lighting are perfectly optimized for your space.

Will you personally be at our event?
Yes. I will personally DJ your wedding. As the owner of my company, my name is on the contract, and I guarantee I am the one performing at your event.

How would you describe your DJ style?
I am a beat-mixing DJ. This means there are never awkward pauses between songs — tracks flow together like a club set. I play as many songs as possible throughout the evening while respecting full-length tracks for special moments. I am not a “hype DJ” — the focus is always on you, the couple, while ensuring your guests have an incredible experience.

How extensive is your music library?
My music library is extensive, covering nearly every genre imaginable. I use two redundant laptops for backup and never rely on streaming, ensuring uninterrupted music regardless of Wi-Fi availability.

Can we request specific songs?
Absolutely. My online planner gives you full control over the songs you want played at your event.

Can we provide a “Do Not Play” list?
Yes. You can list songs you do not want played in the online planner, and I will honor it completely — even if Uncle Bob asks nicely!

Do you take song requests from guests?
Yes. With such a large music library, it’s rare that I don’t have a requested song available.

Do you take breaks during the event?
No. Music plays continuously. I also do not drink alcohol or smoke at events, so your celebration stays uninterrupted.

Do you require a retainer to book?
Yes. The retainer is $400 for reception-only packages and $500 for ceremony/reception packages. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to the event date.

Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes. You may pay toward your balance at any time with no additional fees. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your event.

Do you provide lighting for the dance floor or uplighting?
Yes. Dance floor lighting is included in all wedding packages. It is tasteful and elegant, designed to enhance the atmosphere without distraction. Uplighting is available for an additional cost — please request a quote.

Do you charge a travel fee?
Yes, but only for events more than 150 miles from Cleveland. Costs vary by distance — please request a quote.

What is your refund or cancellation policy?
The retainer is non-refundable. If the event is canceled less than 90 days before the date, the remaining balance is due. If rescheduled, the retainer can be applied to a new date if available.

Do you carry liability insurance?
Yes. I carry a $2 million liability policy, which is required by most venues.

Do you have a backup plan for outdoor events or inclement weather?
Yes. For outdoor ceremonies, I can play without shelter if rain is not in the forecast, provided the setup is shaded from direct sunlight. If rain occurs, the client must provide a tent or shelter. This also applies to outdoor receptions.

Do you bring backup equipment?
Yes. I always bring redundant laptops, an iPad, an iPhone with music loaded, two wireless microphones, and additional speakers if needed to ensure your event runs flawlessly.
