Awarded 8 Australian Bridal Industry Awards, you know your reception is in the best hands possible 💍

600+ Weddings & counting… DJ Ben Events is solely operated by South Australia's DJ Ben. Ben has a very long and successful career as an entertainer since the age of 16. He was originally on a path of studying to be a primary school teacher but quickly started losing interest once he began getting

late night gigs in pubs and clubs around Adelaide. By 1997 he was holding 1-2 DJ residencies in venues and this increased to 3-4 weekly nights by the following year and continued until 2008. Highlights of these years for him was DJing at the Highlander with Cosi and Sam Mac, being the resident DJ at The Norwood Hotel for 6.5years on saturday nights and being at part-time promoter at Heaven Nightclub's legendary weekly rave night Chemistry. In March 1998 he joined DJ RMAC on a graveyard shift (Tuesdays 12am - 6am) on the dance music radio station Fresh FM and by 2001 had earned himself a specialist show of Monday evenings at 10pm. This radio show called Mentazm he co-hosted for a total of 8 years...all for the love of the music as Fresh FM in it's earlier days was all run by volunteers.
-----------------------
In 2008 everything for him changed when he moved to the beautiful wine region, The Barossa Valley with his then fiance with plans to start a family. He was unable to commit to the 3-4 nights of weekly pub and clubs or the radio show but he felt he wasn't ready to retire the DJing. It was a natural move to end up offering his entertainment services as a DJ at weddings...but little did he know what a fantastic career move this would be. He quickly got booked for weddings and within 2 years had seen too many "drunken uncle" attempting to be the MC at weddings. Ben started offering MC services as an add-on to his DJ services, drawing on his experiences working with many great party MCs over his years in clubs. By 2013 he had surprised himself by how much he enjoyed this live element of entertainment as he had also started incorporating crowd-interaction games at weddings to great response! It was then that he decided to only book himself at weddings that specifically wanted a great DJ but with a MC as well and he has been running this format at weddings since. Since early 2018 he has hosted a fun-filled Quiz night at The Greenock in the Barossa on Wednesday nights & on Tuesday nights at the Barossa Ale Haus he hosts the Survey Says Trivia night which is based on Family Feud. AUSTRALIAN BRIDAL INDUSTRY ACADEMY (ABIA) AWARDS:
Ben was awarded SA's No. 1 Wedding MC in 2015 / 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2020 and also 2021. In 2019 he proudly accepted the prestigious award on the Gold Coast for Australia's No. 1 Wedding MC.

It’s genuinely lovely to be recognised for great work. Im a finalist in this year’s Barossa Event Industry Awards to be held on Sat May 23.

I absolutely love what I do as an MC & I hope it shows. Whether it’s been one of the 600+ weddings or 400+ quiz nights I’ve hosted…if you were in attendance, I hope it was a bloody fun time!

My love of MCing began when I moved to Barossa from Adelaide in 2008, having been a pub, club & radio DJ full time for 11 years (and done around 2000 nights).
I fell into doing weddings up here and knew I had to embrace the fun of being a bubbly MC. This really took off when I started including crowd games at all the weddings I did from 2011 and I haven’t looked back since. Between 2015 & 2023 i won No. 1 Wedding MC in SA with the Australian Bridal Industry Academy 6 times and it was a honour to be named No. 1 in Australia in 2019 🥰

In March 2018 I started hosting the ultra fun Greenock Quiz and have been doing so since. In Sept 2024 i also started hosting Survey Says whichbis at the Old Mill Brewery in Tanunda.

I’ll be 50 at the end of next year but I’m not ready to give up yet. Recommend me to your engaged friends for a fun night of MC / DJ Entertainment as I’m offering 20% off new bookings til the end of April.

Also this Saturday I’m DJing one of my monthly 90’s vs 00’s nights at The Exchange Hotel in Gawler.

Much love 🩷

Feb 28 was the date. The day these two, Brad & Jessica Greenslade finally tied the knot. And they booked DJ Ben Events to bring our formula for fun & mayhem to their celebration. ✨✨

This one was particularly special as I remember Jess coming out to see me DJ at the Highlander on Friday nights 20 years ago, back when I was there each week with Cosi. She then told me years ago she would do “whatever it took” to have me do her wedding. It was worth the wait.

What a fun night!

It is with a heavy heart we share this to our community today. The family of one of our favourite wedding couples from 2023 had a tragic event occur early this week. They are locals in the barossa where we are based.

We want to extend our utmost love & support to Jess & her family. If you have a few dollars to spare, every little bit will help as we spread the word to ease the financial burden off Jess during this unimaginable difficult time.

Our hearts are broken for you 💔
