    Hire Ben!!

    If you’re looking for upscale, classy entertainment for your next event, hire Ben! As a fellow wedding vendor, I’ve had the pleasure of working with him and have so much respect for his professionalism, confidence, and strong work ethic. He knows exactly how to read a room and keep the energy up all night. When Ben is the DJ, you can trust that your guests will have an incredible time and the dance floor will stay full.

    Outstanding

    As a wedding officiant, I work alongside a lot of DJs, and I can confidently say that Ben Ricci from Ben Ricci DJs is one of the best. He brings the perfect mix of professionalism, organization, and personality to every wedding day. From the ceremony audio (which is flawless every time) to keeping the reception flowing smoothly, he creates an experience that feels effortless for the couple and for the vendor team.

    Ben Ricci

    Ben has always been a joy to work with. From our very first interaction, he was friendly, genuine, and fun ... and STILL IS! He cares deeply about making your special day perfect. He will get everyone up and on the dance floor, for sure! Every time Ben is scheduled at the venue, the whole staff enjoys him and the music. He has done our own family weddings, and truly feels like part of the family now. We couldn't recommend him more highly!

I have been a professional DJ for over 25 years. Music is my passion, and it shows in every event I perform.
I have performed at more than 2,400 events, with the majority being weddings in the Cleveland area.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Absolutely. My online planner gives you full control over the songs you want played at your event.
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!
Yes. With such a large music library, it’s rare that I don’t have a requested song available.
No. Music plays continuously. I also do not drink alcohol or smoke at events, so your celebration stays uninterrupted.
Yes. The retainer is $300 for reception-only packages and $500 for ceremony/reception packages. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to the event date.
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.
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.
Yes. I carry a $2 million liability policy, which is required by most venues.
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.
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.
