Ben Warner failed to render agreed upon and contracted services and refused to refund any monies from deposit after he terminated.On January 2019, we contracted services with a deposit for $627 for a June 2020 wedding. We had close communications during May 2020 to ensure Ben T Warner would be able to work the wedding worship with all of the uncertainties of the virus and executive orders of North Carolina. It appeared that they were noncommittal in April & May to the extent of recommending to us that we get another company to do the event. They canceled only 18 days prior to the event. At the time, NC actually had exceptions for weddings and funerals that allowed us to proceed. Fortunately we were able to scramble and find another vendor.

The first phone meeting we had with Ben & Kat secured our decision to have them help make our wedding day special! The passion they have for bringing joy to others is contagious. We booked our ceremony through Elope Outdoors, who recommended Ben for any musical needs. We are so very happy that we chose to work with Ben & Kat! From the beginning and throughout our planning, Kat was super helpful in assisting with the booking process and Ben was ready for adventure! It made us feel so at ease to know that we could count on Ben to be there for our day, rain or shine. Having Ben to provide instrumentals during the hike up to our ceremony location took the wedding day stress away and made the day even more fun! Our ceremony was beautiful and Ben even stayed after the ceremony to play guitar as we danced and took photos. It was truly a magical day! Both Ben and Kat are awesome and wonderful people to work with!

Ben was amazing to work with! Everything we could have hoped for in our wedding DJ -- so nice and accommodating, online portal/music questionnaire easy and fun to complete, great lighting-game, kept people on the dance floor all night -- even a bit past our curfew set by the venue -- which he didnt have to do! We didnt pick our father/daughter, mother/son songs until literally right before the ceremony began...but Ben had no qualms about it and was very go-with-flow. He also cut/edited our first dance song for us....multiple times. Played the acoustic guitar during our ceremony which was beautiful. Everything was perfect. Thanks Ben - you rock!!

Music is so important to a wedding celebration, and Ben brought the exact vibes we needed to keep the moments loving, thrilling, and fun!His talent and respect for music could be felt throughout the entire process. Ben and his partner played the guitar and violin beautifully to set an enchanting mood to the beginning of our celebration, one our guests cannot stop talking about.He kept the dance floor moving with his choice in music, playing our requests and thoughtfully knowing which ones would fit the vibe, having perfect timing in song selection and mix. Ben even busted out a drum and got involved in the partying, adding to the connection of it all, and allowing the littlest of guests to give the music a go!Ben, thank you. Thank you for being so caring with our plans and requests. Thank you for feeling part of the framily. Thank you for every unforgettable memory we now have.

My wife and I hired Benjamin T. and Kat Warner for DJ entertainment, Live Acoustic Music, Live Band Entertainment, as well for Lighting and Entertainment Experiences for our wedding at Brown Mountain Beach Resort in Lenoir, N.C.Ben and Kat are a penultimate example of how a married couple can far exceed the conventions of atypical business partnerships. Every single experience we had with B&K was a perfect example of professionalism and dedication to customer service. From the first time we reached out to our final goodbyes, Ben and Kat surpassed every expectation and delivered undoubtedly the best wedding experience for our guests and ourselves that we could have possibly imagined.From their well-designed website, attentively managed customer service portal, helpful and informative surveys, and personal communications, to the facilitation of custom musical experiences and flawless execution of their advertised services. My wife and I are in awe of Ben and Kat’s ability to manage their own business while seamlessly leading other vendors, without misstep, in a magnificently arranged ceremony performance, master of ceremonies experience, and coordination of live music and lighting.Ben and Kat’s belief that “every wedding should be as unique as you are,” is not just a slogan or buzzwords meant to attract unwitting brides to be. B&K are the real deal, 100% authentic and genuine people, driven with the desire to make your special day or event a bespoke and memorable experience.A review cannot describe how important a piece to our weddings success that was Ben and Kat’s services. Our vendor relationship with B&K was undoubtedly the most pleasant of dealings my wife and I had throughout the planning of our wedding, even drawing inspiration from them for my wife and I’s own small business.One cannot gush and praise enough. Thank you, Ben and Kat, you made our dreams a reality.Without hesitation, my wife and I recommend Ben and Kat for any event, wedding or elopement services which you may need.Ben and Kat will forever remain unrivaled and unmatched in our minds and hearts.An unprecedented experience was had by all. Bravo to this super duo!

If you are looking for an awesome DJ and musician, look no further! We are so thrilled we chose Ben for our wedding music!! He was so great to work with from the very beginning, always available via phone or email, and very accommodating. Ben met and chatted with us several times and met with us at the reception venue (he made it happen on a relatively strict time schedule!) to make sure our day went exactly as we wanted! He even handled last minute changes and surprise meetings with our priest with ease! The ceremony music was just as we imagined and he made the reception so much fun!!! We have gotten many compliments on our music choice and have been told that ours was the best reception they have been to. This is all thanks to Ben!! We cannot thank him enough for helping to make our day perfect and all the ways he went above and beyond for us and our friends! You will not be disappointed if you choose Ben!

Ben was absolutely perfect for our wedding! He is such a kind and talented individual. He really tries to get to know and understand the couples he is working with. He does a great job at listening to your vision and things/songs you don’t want. He is very quick to respond and accommodating to requests. Him and his family drove two hours to come out and see our venue- it was so kind! As we were walking around he played acoustic guitar and we all loved the vibe he creates. He also sent us demos before the wedding so that we could practice our dance.On the wedding day he played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a trio (Billy and Melissa) for our cocktail hour, and then he DJed the rest of the night. They sang our first dance song (Perfect) and made it totally our own- even changing some words since we’re a same sex couple. They made us feel like we were all friends and those are the kind of people you want at your wedding. They are so talented! Ben kept the dance floor packed all night and the lighting was a great touch. I loved that he would come out on the dance floor and party with us too! During our sparkler send off, he played a drum which perfected the moment. It was truly magical because of the music. You definitely should book Ben to bring your wedding to life! He really goes above and beyond.

DJ Ben was fantastic. Our membership had a great New Years Eve Party with him. He was early, respectable, professional, and overall related to our members. No matter the age of our guests he was able to find something for everyone to enjoy. Song choices were great! The bongos were a huge hit. We were very pleased and would hire again in a heartbeat.

Ben was DJ/host/musician for my and my wife’s wedding in Savannah, GA. Ben is very easy to work with and enthusiastic about being a part of your day. He was there to answer any and all questions and was highly organized. He has a lot of experience at what he does and can provide lots of suggestions and information regarding your wedding.Ben was a great host and DJ, and also played and sang a song for our first dance. In addition to being an experienced DJ, he is a very talented musician.I highly recommend Ben Warner for your wedding needs! He is professional, smart, and kind, and takes care of business so you can enjoy your event.Justin

Benjamin was AMAZING! By far the most easiest wedding vendor we worked with :) He was always quick to respond, didnt question any of our unique requests, in fact he loved them, and he was extremely accommodating! His talents were such a big part of our day as he not only was our DJ but also played acoustic guitar for us. One of my bridesmaids is a singer and we wanted her to sing a song for us during our reception and Benjamin reached out to her to go over everything. He was so communicative and informative. I cant say enough about Benjamin! Every last minute request was fulfilled and he just made our wedding that much more amazing and memorable. Thank you Benjamin!

Ben did an awesome job and definitely surpassed our expectations! He was our MC, acoustic music, and party music provider and really is the whole package!! He provided an acoustic music duo with violin, cello, and guitar during cocktail hour and dinner which was perfect. After dinner he transitioned into party music that we requested. He really made our reception and knew how to get our guest on the dance floor and stay on the dance floor. The grand entrance was perfect! If you are looking for an amazing DJ, book Ben!! And book his violin partner as well, it was all AMAZING!!!

Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with. He and Mike are so talented and definitely wowed our guests. Having found someone that could play beautiful ceremony music and also run our reception was such a blessing! It really helped ease my mind, because Ben was such a true professional from the beginning. He communicated with me regularly, and certainly seemed to understand our intended vibe for the evening. Not only was planning/coordinating with Ben a breeze, but Im BEYOND happy with how our entire day went, and he was a big part of that. I honestly wish Id been able to be a fly on the wall to hear more of the pre-ceremony music, but our guests gave me glowing reviews. I felt like all of our guests were up and enjoying every minute of the reception, too. And not just at the bar. So many guests danced the night away! We felt you really protected the integrity of the party we were looking for, while also being accommodating to our last-minute requests. He kept things moving without a hitch. I would highly recommend working with Benjamin T Warner Acoustic DJ, and know I will be sure to again for any future similar needs.

Benjamin Warner was the DJ, MC and overall reception-planner for my wedding in Savannah, Georgia in April 2014.Ben was professional, fun, helpful, and flexible; everything I wanted and needed in someone involved with my big event. Last minute changes I gave him were met with a No problem! and a Youve got it!Ben played all of the music my wife and I requested, and was great at facilitating the different segments of the evening and getting people to dance. Ben is also a great musician, so I had him perform our first-dance song, where he sang a duet with my cousin. All of my family and friends were blown away and still talk about it!Like I said, Ben is fun and talented, but most importantly he matches these qualities with professionalism. Ben was very organized throughout the entire process, especially on the wedding day. Over the months of planning he responded to my emails and phone calls almost immediately.Ben goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you want. My wife and I couldnt have asked for better.

I had Benjamin and Michael as my music for my wedding on 9/17/16 and they were absolutely amazing. They played acoustic guitar and violin for the first part of the reception then switched to usual DJ music from then on. So many guests came up to me saying how much they loved the music, it was beautiful! Once it was time to dance, Benjamin occasionally joined us on the dance floor and we all had a blast. I cannot recommend both him and Michael enough. They were one of the best parts of my wedding!

Ben truly surpassed our expectations as our DJ for our wedding on 6 Oct, 2017 in Weston, MO. Not only did he DJ for the reception, but he was our MC for the night, played cello with Michael playing the violin for our ceremony and during dinner (absolutely beautiful!!), brought lights to really set the mood on the dance floor, and had speakers set up and music playing for our cocktail hour. He made everything go so smoothly to help make it the best day ever for us!

We hired Ben for a corporate cocktail party at our office and he was absolutely perfect. He read the crowd, changed up the music when needed, even got some people out to dance which is no small feat with our group! From a planners perspective, he made everything so easy. I gave him a general theme and he did everything (and he did it really fast too, when we realized I told him the wrong theme after having to pick between two!!). He got all set up without any assistance from me, sound was the perfect level, wireless mic worked flawlessly. He is definitely going to be our go-to!

Ben went above and beyond! He assisted with the planning and coordinating of events for our wedding, helped us through a timeline, and did a great job selecting the right music. We were inundated with compliments from our guests at how great of a job Ben did. If you want a great, reliable and personable DJ for your event, Ben is the man!

Ben was amazing! He was so much fun and picked awesome music for our wedding! Hands down my favorite vendor. They played acoustic music for our ceremony which was absolutely beautiful. Then he DJed our reception which was also amazing! He even joined us toward the end of the nice and danced with us. He was so much fun and did a great job doing announcement and making sure my husband and I were taken care of. I would refer him to anyone needing DJ services, quite honestly I wish I had another event to have him DJ for me!

We booked Ben for our wedding on the 22nd and the entire experience was amazing! Ben really listened to us and nailed our eclectic taste. He kept the dance floor going even with our smaller gathering. He also integrated some great choices into the mix and helped keep the evening running on time and did our announcements forfus. When he brought out the drum we got some of the best videos from the wedding. We really couldnt be happier with how the night went and cant thank Ben enough! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a wedding in the Asheville area.

Ben did an incredible job as our wedding DJ! He played excellent tunes during dinner, then got the party started later that evening. He also gave great advice for our wedding timeline (when to do toasts, cake cutting, etc.), and he gave helpful announcements throughout the evening. Ben also added fun lights to our dance floor and truly evolved our wedding reception into a fun party.Thanks Ben, you are an awesome DJ! It would not have been the same without you. :) ~ Sara and Matt

Ben played acoustic guitar before our daughters wedding, providing lovely background music for guests as they waited for the ceremony to begin. My daughter requested special songs for her processional and recessional, and Ben had perfect timing starting and ending them. He provides all his own equipment, and has the perfect setup for indoor and outdoor weddings, including lighting that enhanced the reception atmosphere.My daughter had provided a schedule of events to Ben for the reception, and Ben did a great job as MC, keeping everything on schedule. He played a huge role in making my daughters wedding and reception magical and memorable.

I had Ben serve as the DJ for our reception. He also provided his sound system for our outdoor ceremony. The quality was fantastic! He did a great job as a DJ. He was professional, fun, and offered ideas on how to make things run smoothly. The guests really liked it when he played the bongos as well. I hired him last-minute and it was such a good decision! The price was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend him for your event/wedding!

My sister recently was married and Ben did the music for her wedding and reception. He is very talented! He played the guitar for the wedding and it was fantastic! He had a great line up of music for the reception and could keep folks on the dance floor. Then, when it couldnt get any better, he broke out the drums and played along to the music. He helped make for a very FUN day.

From the moment that Mr. Warner walked in the door the entire event went from good to great. Ben is so talented at making people relax and enjoy themselves that he is really the only thing that any event needs in order to make sure that things go well. His live music was a hit as soon as people arrived, and his song selection was suburb. If I could give more than five stars I would. Ben played my wedding on August 1, 2015 and it could not have gone any better. I look forward to the day that I have another event where I can ask Benjamin T Warner Acoustic DJ to play again. If you are on the fence, dont hesitate! Benjamin will exceed you expecations! Thanks Ben! You made our day very special!

Ben is such an amazing talent!! We were blessed to have him not only play acoustic guitar (accompanied by Michael on the violin -also amazing) for our wedding ceremony, he DJd our reception as well. As soon as I heard them play for the ceremony, I teared up. It was beautiful! He set the tone for the start of our amazing day with family and friends. When it was time for the celebration to begin, he got the party started by DJing. Not only did he play the songs we requested (and stayed away from the ones we didnt want) but he threw in songs that I hadnt thought of, or even heard before. It was as if he got into our heads and figured out what we loved to groove to. He got people up and moving. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the KC area looking for someone to DJ their event.One a side note - As a person, he is wonderful! So inviting, approachable, kind and fun! Do yourself a favor and hire him. He will NOT disappoint!!

Ben Warner & Michael Turnbo wewre absolutely fantastic!! The hospital auxiliary sponsors a fundraiser for the hospital in the form of a Platinum Ball and we have a dance after the dinner and auctions are over. Throughout the dinner, Ben and Michael played accoustic guitar and violin music and our guests were raving about the quality of their talent and the fact that they could still visit during the meal. The music they played during the dance was fabulous and the dance floor was full from start to finish. The uplighting they did for us really helped turn an ugly wall into something rather pretty too.I would recomment Benjamin T. Warner to any type of group, wedding party, corporate group, etc. We have hired them for next years event already..... thats how much we liked them.
