The Event of the Summer!
Review:

Thank you, Ben and Connor, for making Kendall and Tim's Engagement Party the event of the summer in Sea Girt. From the moment the music started, all of my guests were asking about the DJ! No one sat down the rest of the night! That makes for a magnificent party! Thank you so much!

Ben is the DJ you want for your wedding! He was simply amazing from beginning to end! He is extremely knowledgeable and patient! I just got married and I couldn't be happier with the wedding! Everyone was dancing on the dance floor the whole night! All of my family members loved him and boy can he dance! He was teaching me how to do the wobble on the dance floor! And the price was perfect! He went above and beyond for our wedding! I'm so so happy!!

Create Excitement,

test_pic6Ben really made the night for us. We were really skeptical of having a DJ at all but he really listened to us and let the guests pick songs they wanted.

Great to work with

Ben was great to work with. We got married at the shore, but live about 1 1/2 hours away. I have a crazy work schedule and we did all of our communications thru email or phone. We were the worst of clients, late in filling out forms and we didn't provide a music list until the week before the wedding. He did a great job in selecting great songs for the reception. The ONLY song my husband was adamant about using was a little obscure, but Ben found it on a "Rare Hits of the 80's" collection. His lighting package (starlit ceiling and up lights) was beautiful as well.

From the initial communication to the last song at our wedding, we had the most wonderful experience working with Create Excitement! Throughout the whole process, Ben and his wife Ginette were so helpful, responsive, professional and friendly. When I met them both in person at our wedding, they were exactly as I imagined they would be. They left me completely at ease, which to me, is an incredibly important quality in a wedding vendor. Ben was happy to accommodate our requests and knew exactly the right songs to get - and keep! - our guests on the dance floor! Ben & Ginette, we can't thank you enough for being such a big part of our wedding day!

Will Definitely Use For Future Events

From the moment that we met with Ben my fiancée and I knew that we would be hiring Create Excitement for our wedding. He was so professional and passionate about his work and made us even more excited about our wedding. The online tools that he provided made it very fun and easy to plan out our reception and all the music styles that we wanted to incorporate. Although Ben was not available for our wedding, DJ Adam stepped in and completely exceeded our expectations. He got us right away and was so thorough about every detail. We received so many compliments about the music and everyone was dancing the night away. I will definitely use their services again for future events and encourage any bride to meet with Ben and Adam when looking for DJ's for their wedding.

Very Pleasant Experience Working with Ben
from Wedding Wire

Create Excitement was fantastic, from the very first meeting with Ben to the end of the wedding reception, it was a very pleasant experience. Ben spent quite a bit of time with us prior to signing the contract. Other vendors spent about 15 mins. This was my first inclination that Ben was the one for us. Choosing music was so easy! My 11-year-old nephew helped me select the music online so I wasn't totally in the 70's! The music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception went off without a hitch. Everyone raved about the DJ! Highly, highly recommend!

Choosing the right DJ is the MOST important decision
Review:
5

Ben was our DJ for our wedding on May 5th and he was absolutely amazing! I think choosing the right DJ is the MOST important decision when planning a wedding because they are the LIFE of the party. Ben is that DJ. He went above and beyond what we asked. Coming from Europe, there were certain games that I wanted to incorporate into the wedding, and although Ben never has heard of them, he looked at the YouTube video I sent, listened to my explanation, and found the perfect music and lead it wonderfully as if he knew all along. Not once did he make me feel like I was a burden for these additions. In fact, his response was that he enjoyed learning new games and ways to have fun. He is a DJ who lives for his job and, as a result, it doesn't seem like a job for him. Our wedding was a small one of only 40 guests but Ben still treated us like a million bucks. He was able to get everyone on the dance floor and each person raved what a good time they had and how much they liked our DJ. He even got people who would never dance (like the best man) to participate! Not to mention the Online Event Planner provided was also extremely helpful, especially to us who rarely go out. However, that doesn’t mean you are on your own because any question or concern I had, Ben answered quickly and efficiently. At one point when we were completely overwhelmed with getting everything ready for the wedding, I emailed Ben about not knowing what to do about a Limbo stick (because we wanted to have Limbo at our wedding). However, Ben did not ignore or sympathize. Instead, he took charge. He simply said not to worry about it and that he will take good care of us, and he truly did! With Ben there is NO NEED TO WORRY about anything party related. Just get the photographer, the venue, and decorate as you need because Ben does the important stuff for you! We would recommend Ben for anyone and will use him again for any future events we might have planned. Thank you so much!

Got everyone on the dance floor

Ben was SO amazing for us as a DJ. From the moment we brought him on for the wedding, he was always there with helpful tips, ideas and a listening ear! He didn't stop at music. Any time we had a question about wedding related items, we were able to ask him, and he had great advice. I would not have wanted anyone else to get the party started for our wedding. Thank you Ben for getting literally EVERYONE on the dance floor dancing the WHOLE night!!!

Ben was fantastic. He made our daughter's wedding so much fun. He brought so much energy to the dance floor. The morning of the wedding 5-14-2016, Ben texted me and said, if I need anything just call or text him. I thought that was such a great comfort knowing if we needed to change anything last minute we could reach him. The light show was awesome too!

Music was perfect!
Review:

When I was in college I bartended at a private club that hosted a number of weddings. The common thread among all of them was that a great entertainer helps make a great wedding. Ben proved that again to me the night of our wedding. He is fun, energetic, and hardworking, and he really puts in the effort to work with you to learn about your likes and dislikes so that everything goes smoothly the day of the wedding. Your DJ is the one who really drives the entire night's events, and there is so much that goes into it which I never fully realized before. It is so much more than just the right music - it is having the right person to coordinate it all, and who can read the guests and tailor the event to maximize their enjoyment as it happens. I initially called Create Excitement because of the great reviews, which I now know are hard earned and fully justified.

Adam and I got married on May 21st at the Mill in Spring Lake. Ben provided the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Everything was perfect. I am sure this has to do with all of the time and attention Ben put into making sure that everything was just how we wanted it to be. I was a bit worried at first because our wedding was in the daytime that people would not want to dance as much, but Ben made sure that everyone was out there for pretty much the entire reception. Thanks to Ben and the Create Excitement team for making our day better than I could have expected!

Ben did an amazing job DJ'ing and MC'ing our wedding reception! He was very professional through the entire process and had many great ideas to help make our day exciting and fun. He was very accommodating, traveling to two locations for the ceremony and reception, providing uplighting and having a second person on hand. Ben did a great job ensuring everyone was having a great time and did a great job of getting a very small group of people up and dancing! Thank you Ben, for everything!!

We cannot say enough good things about Ben and Chris's phenomenal work at our wedding (and throughout the entire planning process!). Leading up to the wedding Ben was so on top of his communication with us, and we never had to reach out to him or remind him to do anything-- he was always 3 steps ahead. We felt that he did such an amazing job at the reception, which was reinforced by all the compliments we have been receiving from our guests since. He did a fabulous job of keeping the night going and knowing exactly what people needed and when. He listened to every single request we had and helped turn our dream wedding into a reality. We cannot thank Ben enough and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a wonderful DJ!

He made the party exciting and played the perfect music for all ages. thank you Ben and Create Excitement!! Thank you for a perfect reception!

Perfect Addition to Our Wedding

Carolyn and Kameron had their Wedding at the Grand Victorian on Ocean Avenue in Spring Lake, NJ. Here is what they had to say:
"From my first phone conversation with Ben, I knew he would be the perfect addition to our wedding ensemble. He was not only kind and attentive, but extremely professional, helpful, and responsive. Being an out-of-state bride, this was extremely important to me and took generous amounts of stress out of our planning. His pricing is to beat, and even better, he was never pushy trying to "sell" us like other DJs that I had contacted. He is honest and genuinely cared about our wedding. It was so fun and easy being able to select our music online and document the way we wanted our wedding to progress. We couldn't have been happier come the night of the wedding. The setup was flawless, the music was quality, and Ben brought such a joyous and personal touch that everyone complimented on. He was eager to take requests, and we danced ALL night long! We had a smaller wedding of 50 people, and one of my fears was that the dance floor would be empty- not a chance with Ben. I would recommend him over and over, as would our guests who raved about him. Thank you for adding to the perfection of our night- you're the best!"Carolyn-and-Kameron-one

He got everyone up and partying

My groom and I knew that Create Excitement was the company for us after meeting Ben. He was funny, understanding, knowledgeable, and just all around a nice guy. Their prices were reasonable, and they literally were willing to do whatever we wanted on the wedding day. We ended up with Adam as our DJ and he was perfect. He asked a lot of questions to make sure he got everything just right. I was worried about the large age range of our guests and keeping people dancing despite the fact that I hate organized dances. Adam didn't need to resort to the Cha Cha slide or anything like that once. He got everyone up and partying. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. I wish he had played a few more slow songs, but I was having so much fun that I didn't even notice at the time. Adam stuck to all of my "do not play" songs and was always sure to double check with me if he was unsure of something. The music sounded great and the lights were a nice addition as well. I am so happy that we went with Create Excitement. I would recommend them highly to anyone.

Do you want a DJ who can and will make your wedding all that you have dreamed? Then, Create Excitement Entertainment is who you are looking for. From the moment I met Ben, I felt at ease. He worked hard to get to know us and ensure that the wedding was exactly what we wanted. His website is amazing and allows you to pick songs you want played and songs you don’t want played. This was key for me as I have very specific tastes. Plus, my mom was worried a bit about the music choices, and Ben went out of his way to make a CD for her to get a glimpse of what the wedding music would be like!
Throughout the reception, Ben checked in with Bryan and I several times to make sure we were enjoying the music and tone of the evening. We DEFINITELY were, as were our guests. Everyone is raving about Ben and Create Excitement. He started the night off playing the high energy song, SHOUT, before we even did our first dance. Everyone was on the dance floor immediately and it never stopped. The dance floor was packed all night!!
Thank you so much Ben and Joe! The night was a dream!

We used Ben for our wedding in September and we can't thank him enough for making our day so memorable. The music was absolutely perfect, and we received multiple compliments throughout the night and after the wedding about how great the music was. Ben knew exactly how to get people out on the dance floor and we cannot express how wonderful it was in working with him up to the day of the event and on the actual evening. He is a true professional in every sense of the word and respected our wishes for no flashy lights, fog machines, etc. The "Dancing Under the Stars" lights made the room absolutely magical and even the catering staff was in awe. Ben really knows how to "Create Excitement!"

I booked Ben for my wedding recently and was thrilled. All of my guests have been raving about how much fun they had and in particular how awesome the DJ was. From just a couple of phone calls and a short request list, Ben knew exactly what we were going for and kept it fun for the large mix of family and friends. When I saw the tremendous reviews, I figured it was either too good to be true or too expensive, but the rates were affordable and considering how he set the tone for the party, well worth it.

Create Excitement recently DJ'ed our wedding, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience! Our initial meetings with Ben were informative, helpful and focused on our specific needs. Throughout our planning, Ben was always organized, professional, and most importantly, accessible. He always listened to our requests and offered suggestions that he thought might work for us. Their online planning site made it easy to listen to/select music and make payments. Adam, who was the DJ at our wedding was also great to work with! He too was professional, thoroughly prepared and remained flexible (even when we made a couple of changes mid-reception).

Superstar!
Review:

We had such a great experience with Create Excitement! My husband and I got married in NJ but are the furthest thing from "Jersey Shore" as possible. We knew we needed a DJ who got our desire to have great dance music without it verging on being a club. We discussed our event with Ben initially and Adam was our actual DJ the day of the event. Ben was extremely helpful throughout our planning process and answered any questions we had as they came up. Adam was fantastic. We used the company for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and weren't disappointed with any of it. The volume level was perfect throughout (which could have been an issue with outside sound and another wedding indoors). His music choices included anything we requested and options that melded perfectly with the crowd--the dance floor was NEVER empty (always a good sign!). He also checked in with us (and our bridal party) every so often to see if the volume was alright and if there were any songs we wanted to hear. He was a superstar. We highly recommend Create Excitement!

We used Create Excitement for our annual office holiday party. After several years of hiring disappointing DJ entertainment, we were thrilled to finally find one everyone loved. They were EXTREMELY professional and utilized a state-of-the-art website that enabled us to pick a "play list" (and even a "do NOT playlist") to ensure that they played exactly the kind of music you wanted to hear. Plus, their lighting, visual displays, and karaoke system were absolutely top notch! Plus, after making several calls to other DJs in central NJ, their pricing was extremely competitive. Would hire again without hesitation!!

We used Create Excitement for our wedding. We had several special requests and the DJ delivered on every one. Our First dance song was At-Last / Sung by my niece Amanda Thompson, the DJ worked with us to make that an unforgettable performance. He also had an awesome mix of songs that kept the dance floor filled during the entire reception. From the youngest to the oldest, everyone is still talking about how the DJ always played the right songs at the right time! The DJ was very professional. He always kept our guests involved and was always ready for anything. We especially liked the way they handled our Anniversary Dance, my wife’s grandparents were the last couple standing after they just celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary! They also did an incredible job with our photo montage and their website was a huge help. I would recommend Create Excitement to anyone.

Best Wedding DJ I’ve Every Heard!

Best wedding DJ I've ever heard…and it was for my wedding! Ben and his team are super good. The wife and I received a ton of compliments about the music and mood. Quite a few people said to me "A lot of weddings I've been to are usually pretty boring but your guys' wedding was so much fun". I attribute a lot of this to the awesomeness of the DJ.
Music was great - they played exactly what we asked for and really set a great tone for the night. They were extremely nice people from the first time we spoke to them until even after the wedding. Very easy to work with and you could really sense the passion they have.
I don't write a lot of reviews, but they definitely deserve the praise and you'll be lucky to have them at your wedding.

I had the pleasure of working with Ginette and Ben for a very dear friend's surprise 50th birthday celebration several weeks ago. I have to say the music, entertainment, give aways, karaoke, and photo montage were all fabulous. Everyone enjoyed the participation of the group dances as well.
Ginette and Ben's attention to every detail and customer satisfaction is extraordinary. I would not hesitate to hire Create Excitement for future events.

Our guests also enjoyed Ben's remarkable ability to get the crowd moving!!!!!

If you are reading this—No need to search elsewhere for your DJ. Ben was the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. He was an absolute joy to work with and clearly has an innate passion and talent for it! He listened to everything we had envisioned for our wedding and made it happen! He made our day not just a wedding but a special experience for our guests. From the ceremony to the last song at our reception every song was perfect. He played every song we asked for, understood what genres of music we liked, and built upon every aspect with his expertise to make it memorable. He kept the cost VERY reasonable as we even asked him to travel over an hour. His lighting and sound equipment was impeccable, all of our guests were very impressed by the quality and professionalism of his services. You know the DJ is doing an amazing job when the dance floor is packed the entire night! A huge “Thank You” to Ben and his team for making our day exactly what we wished for.

Amazing company! Ben the owner is an amazing person, full of energy and very professional. Their online planning website is awesome, and they still follow up either in person or by telephone conversation. They work around your schedule. Music selection was great, we had a sweet 16 and had both teens and older family members and everyone was dancing and loved the music. In my opinion 5 stars is not enough! Well worth the money!

For our wedding reception on September 17, we worked with Ben of Create Excitement. Ben was great to work with in the planning phase and he did an excellent job as our DJ during the event. Our guests had a lot of fun dancing because Ben was able to set the tempo of the evening really well.
In the planning phase, Ben was highly responsive. He worked with us to select music for our reception and suggested songs to play at special moments. He reviewed our song choices and made suggestions based on his experience. Ben freely shared his recommendations and was always open to searching for and listening to all of the songs that we suggested as possible plays. Closer to the event, we had a few phone conferences with Ben to iron out all of the final details and that really helped settle some of the pre-wedding stress.
Ben also provided us with uplighting for our reception. He provided us with options and sent us example videos so that we could see how the lighting would look in a room. The lighting for our reception was so beautiful, looks great in pictures and beautifully set the mood that we were seeking.
Ben’s interaction with our guests at the reception was always professional and, as per our request, he didn’t create a show, rather, he let the musical selections motivate the guests. In the occasions where Ben engaged our guests, he always did so in a sophisticated way, never overly effusive or tacky.
The prices for Create Excitement are easily accessible on the website. This made it easy for us to determine which of the many available services fit within our budget. There were never any surprises or fee upcharge for any of the elements that we selected. This made our experience with Ben and Create Excitement even more positive. We would definitely recommend Ben and Create Excitement to our friends and family.

Ben was extremely professional in handling and preparing for my wedding which was on June 19th at The Manor in West Orange NJ. It was an event which required him to play some songs in foreign language (Russian and Ukrainian) and he managed the music line up very, very well. Also just in general he has been in touch with me in months and weeks preceding the wedding and he listened to and played most of my music selections. Ben helped me pick some of the songs and he also did a great job with our photo montage. he met with me and my father and took the time to walk us through the musical part of the event, etc. Overall, we were just very happy with the wedding and how the event went. It was fun, and music played a big part. Any bride that wants a professional DJ that will care about her music taste will be lucky to have Ben as her DJ.

We had such a great experience with Create Excitement! My husband and I got married in NJ but are the furthest thing from "Jersey Shore" as possible. We knew we needed a DJ who got our desire to have great dance music without it verging on being a club. We discussed our event with Ben initially and Adam was our actual DJ the day of the event. Ben was extremely helpful throughout our planning process and answered any questions we had as they came up. Adam was fantastic. We used the company for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and weren't disappointed with any of it. The volume level was perfect throughout (which could have been an issue with outside sound and another wedding indoors). His music choices included anything we requested and options that melded perfectly with the crowd--the dance floor was NEVER empty (always a good sign!). He also checked in with us (and our bridal party) every so often to see if the volume was alright and if there were any songs we wanted to hear. He was a superstar. We highly recommend Create Excitement!
