It was such a fantastic, memorable night! Benji and his party pumpers had the kids captivated, excited, playing and dancing all night! I have already received several emails from parents saying their kids called it "the best party ever." The adults also loved the music and flow as well, and it was wonderful to all be dancing together! We also opted to add a photo booth (awesome!) and large screen monitor for scrolling pics from the dance floor throughout the night. Both were well worth it! Benji was a pleasure to work with throughout the process-- he always made me and, most importantly, our daughter, feel heard and cared about. See you for the next one! Lea and Dave read more

Benji exceeded our expectations and made the party everything my daughter wanted-- for all her friends to be on the dance floor having fun! Benji not only got my daughter's friends on the dance floor, but many of our friends as well! Benji also helped with the video montage, and it turned out spectacular! I did not expect to have as much fun as I did, and it was all because Benji orchestrated a wonderful night, with the fun games, the awesome music and keeping a great flow all night! Would not hesitate to book him again for future events. read more

Benji is the best DJ ever! He got our entire party dancing and made sure everyone was having an amazing time. He worked directly with my kids, which was so thoughtful and made it even more special. We had the best party ever -- 1000% because of Benji and the incredible tone he sets! We actually booked him before we even chose our venue -- that's how amazing he is! He's truly a one-stop shop -- you can get it all from him. Benji is the mitzvah man! We've seen him at many events before ours, and after experiencing our own, we can confidently say he's the only thing you really need to have the best bar or bat mitzvah! read more

Bar Mitzvah Perfection - Worth Every Penny! (which is often hard for me to say!!) We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with *Benjamin Asher Productions* for my son's Bar Mitzvah, and I can confidently say that DJ Benji exceeded every expectation we had--and then some. From the moment the party started, Benji had the energy, the professionalism, and the instinct to keep *everyone* entertained. And I don't just mean the Bar Mitzvah boy and his friends (who were completely in their element), but also my older son and *his* crew, and even my younger daughter and her group of friends. That's three totally different age groups--each fully engaged, laughing, dancing, and having a blast all night long. We also opted for a "party pumper" that Benji recommended--and I'll be honest, I was initially skeptical about paying for that kind of extra. But wow, I am so glad we did. It made a huge difference. The party pumper kept the energy high, led games that were age-appropriate across the board, and truly helped keep the vibe fun, upbeat, and organized from start to finish. Benji just *gets it.* He knows how to read the room, how to hype up a crowd without going over the top, and how to make every kid feel included. Several guests told me afterward that it was one of the best mitzvah parties they'd been to--and I completely agree. If you're considering Benjamin Asher Productions: book them. No hesitation. DJ Benji is worth every penny and then some. Shout out to Heather Keith Productions for her strong recommendation for him too. read more

DJ Benji really brought the fun at our son's bar mitzvah, and kept the party pumping on the dance floor all night...he was amazing with a huge range of ages, from toddles up to senior citizens, and everyone had a total blast. He was also very easy to work with, reliable, and tech-savvy - basically a dream. Thanks, Benjy!! read more

It's impossible not to have a fantastic time when Benji Asher is the emcee and DJ of your celebration. Benji tailors every detail to the wishes of the parents and, most importantly, the honoree. His boundless energy and enthusiasm light up every moment of the event. Simply hand things over to Benji and enjoy your party -- he has our absolute highest recommendation. read more

If you know, you know. If you don't know, let me tell you... I'm not one to engage in hyperbole, so let me put this as accurately and dispassionately as I can: To say that Benji the man, and Benjamin Asher Productions the company, is the best DJ in town would be to do a disservice to you in your search and to him for what he does... Benjamin Asher Productions is the premier full service event entertainment company in Southern California. Benji and his team bring the unrivaled intangibles that distinguish his operation from being "an event DJ." Yes, he's a DJ. Yes, he's an MC. Yes, he's your thought partner in planning and developing your ideas. Yes, he does your lighting, Yes, he offers games, appliances, and services of all shapes and sizes - foosball, photobooths, air hockey, pop-a-shot, and on and on and on. Bar Mitzvah, wedding, Quinceanera, fundraiser, gala, you name it, he's the only one I've seen that knows how to actually do it right. But what really sets him apart is the intelligence, care, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and raw freaking talent that he brings to every single event he runs. We've been to a lot, and I mean a lot, of DJ-driven events from San Diego to Santa Barbara, and everywhere in between and nobody is half as good as Benji, like it's really not even close. Nobody. You're not hiring a DJ, you're hiring the party. He is the party. It's night and day vs the competition... and everybody knows it. Full stop. read more

I hired Benji after receiving multiple strong recommendations, and I am so glad I did. He absolutely made the party. All my guests were raving about how good our DJ was. Thank you, Benji! read more

Absolutely worth every penny and then some! We have been to many bar/bat mitzvah where Benji provided his services, but it was always as a guest or a vendor (we work the event industry). Therefore, when it was time to hire a DJ for our son's Bar Mitzvah, Benji was the first on our list. We knew he was great, we just didn't knew how great. From the first moment Benji was responsive, clam, and very reassuring. He took the time to answer every question, go over every detail, and made awesome suggestions. Benji offered everything we needed, everything we wanted, and then some. Planning was smooth along the entire road to a successful event, and indeed it was successful. The kids had a blast, the adults had great time, the dance floor was always busy and the party had no boring moments thanks to his mastery in MC the event and controlling the perfect timeline. At the end of the event we received so many complements from our guests, and Benji's name was starring in the conversations. If you are debating if he is the one for your event, just ask yourself: "do you want an amazing Bar/Bat Mitzvah that your kid, your family, and your friends will remember for years to come?" if so, Benji is your guy!!! read more

See all

We recently rented an LED dance floor for our wedding. When I called and spoke to Benji, I was really impressed by his lack of pushiness and his immediate transparency. He was willing to answer all of my questions without pushing for a commitment or reaching out with ongoing follow-ups. Day of delivery/removal was efficient, timely, etc. I'd certainly recommend working w Benji, and our guests loved the unique, glowing dance floor. One tip to others: many of the tiles on the LED dance floor had a mirror finish, and we had a lot of guests wearing dresses. Soooo... if you rent this (which I do recommend)- you may just want to give your guests a heads-up on that... read more

DJ Benji did an amazing job with out party. He knew exactly how to gear the music for our party. It almost seems like second nature to him. He is also very easy to work with and will meet at the venue to help organize how to create the ideal party. He also offers packages and a la carte items that include a variety of different options based on your needs. I highly recommend him! we were extremely happy with the work he did! read more

Benji is the best, again! He is hands down the greatest DJ in San Diego. He made my daughter's event so super fun and special. His entire team was awesome to work with, very polished and professional, kid and adult-friendly and so nice and honest! From the planning to the phone chats to the day of the event, Benji was a pleasure to work with. Thank you for making our celebration unforgettable and better than we could have imagined. read more

Benji went above and beyond! The photo booth and props were perfect, the LED dance floor was a major hit and Benji was so helpful over the phone with coordination and making sure our event was epic. Benji is fun and professional! Can't wait to use his company for our next party! read more

Benjamin Asher Productions - DJs Near Me

I need more than 5 stars to rate Benji!!!!! There are no words expressive enough to thank Benji for all you did for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah (and for me!!)!  He was AMAZING!! After the event, I had at least four friends ask me where and how to find him and they commented that he was by far the best DJ anywhere around.  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! The older guests had fun, the kids had fun and most of all the Bat Mitzvah girl had fun! Benji communicated well and consistently--and anticipated my needs! Do NOT hesitate to hire Benji. And do so early, as he books up and you don't want to miss out on having the best event ever because of what he adds to the party! read more

As an event planner, I know the true value of partnering with a vendor like Benji! Talk about a one-stop shop...he does it all and he does it well! The guests in attendance thoroughly loved the DJ as well as the photo booth and props! I plan on working with Benji on many future events! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

As the other reviewers state clearly, Benji is the best of the best! He was the DJ/MC for our event and also did the lighting and photo booth. He guided us in choosing the most coveted prizes for the games (who knew a fluffy pillow would be so popular?), involving adults and kids (ages 4-91) in all of the dancing, and personalizing the music to our daughter's preferences. Perfect event! read more

Seriously the best DJ/Party Master. Everyone was up, involved, having fun, dancing and interacting. It is hard to get teens pumped up and involved but he and his dancer were MAGIC! No one could resist his charm, enthusiasm, and positivity. Everyone was laughing and having fun from age 3 to 79! I don't want to throw another party without Benji! Get the whole package you will not regret it! read more

Look no further, Benji is the best. We hired him for my son's bar mitzvah, and he was fun, engaging and just what we wanted! Most importantly in my opinion, was Benji's ability to read the crowd and keep the fun flow of the party going seamlessly for both adults & kids to all have a great time together. Awesome communication throughout the planning process and overall professionalism. Benji is just exactly what we were wanting for our celebration and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you Benji! read more

Benji is the best!!! He was the DJ for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah and was amazing. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire party!! I will definitely use Benji for our next event!! read more

Benji does it RIGHT! He and his team owned our event. They kept the party pumping - music lively and everyone moving and having fun. He has lots of props - green screen photo booth, monitor for slide shows and a party "pumper" so if you're having an off the hook event, you need Benji to take it to that level. He was also super willing to work with our budget and ensure we got what we wanted. read more

Benji was our DJ for my daughters Bat Mitzvah right before the pandemic. We feel so fortunate to have had Benji help us. Everyone had a blast including my daughter. He helped make her party very meaningful and even came to our house two times before the party to ensure the set up and party would run smoothly. He also helped us get a photo booth which was a big hit. Benji focused on what our daughters vision and requests were which was awesome. Everything went seamlessly and overall Benji is a great guy, very professional, and we would love to work with him again. Benji helped make this event amazing and we are so grateful and thankful to him. Highly recommend him!!! read more

Benji did an absolutely wonderful job at our daughter's bat mitzvah. He kept all of the kids and adults engaged during the party and everyone had a blast! We had quite a few families ask for his referral information during the party (he was that good!). He was also extremely involved and responsive during the party planning process. He even went above and beyond by designing a custom GOBO for the back wall and upgraded the design at no charge. He was also able to quickly rectify a misunderstanding which sometimes occurs at these types of large events. Overall, I would highly recommend Benji and his team for all of your party needs. read more

Amazing DJ! He does a great job getting everyone involved and making sure everyone has a great time!!! I would highly recommend him and his crew! read more

We love Benji! He was the DJ (or should I say Master of Ceremonies) at both our son's and our daughter's mitzvah parties. Everyone raved about him and he always kept the party moving with games and music. He's booked months (or even years) in advance and it's no surprise. His reputation is stellar and anyone using him for their families' special occasions will not be disappointed. read more

Benji is the BEST! We have worked together many times and I recommend him highly. He keeps the party going and provides amazing lights, entertainment, dancers, photo booth and so much more. Benji is the pulse of your party and will do you right! read more

Hands down, Benji is the BEST DJ for your child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah. I'd say he is more like a Master of Ceremonies than DJ. He kept the party flowing and the kids (and adults) totally entertained the entire time. There was never a lull or a time when the kids weren't on the dance floor. The kids particularly loved the games he organized for them. We attended a Bar Mitzvah a week after my daughter's party and their DJ (and party, as a result) paled in comparison. I realize these parties can be ridiculously expensive but this is not where you want to skimp, believe me. Moreover, Benji is so sweet (and a such a cutie).....just a total pleasure to work with. I'm sooooo glad we hired Benji and will definitely be booking him again in 2 years for my younger daughter's Bat Mitzvah! read more

Benji was incredible! He made my son's party fun and took good care of everyone!!! He is truly the best. He got to know us before attending our event so he was well prepared and on knowledgable about our preferences read more

If I could give Benji 10 stars I would!!! He is the best in the business. He did my sons bar mitzvah this past weekend and kept all the adults and kids dancing all night long. He truly loves what he does and knows how to connect with all the kids. We were so lucky he was available for our family. He is super organized and an all around pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. Thank you for creating the most amazing party for us!! we adore you:) read more

We booked Benji the day we learned our daughter's Bat Mitzvah date bc she had been to parties where he dj'd and knew she wanted him. He is the best. I don't know how anyone can have as much positive energy as he does, but he is a force! He is so organized leading up to the event, and took the time to get to know our daughter and exactly what she wanted, and then he made it all come to life. He is so much fun and everyone had an absolute blast -- from the music, to the games, to the timing and knowing when to slow things down or get people up and dancing it was all just so professional and SO MUCH FUN. the party would not be the same with out him -- book him for your event and you will be so happy you did!! Thank you, Benji -- save the date for October 2026.. !! read more

Benji was excellent! He performed/produced our Chanukah teen event at FLUXX Nighclub. The music and energy was great! the added photo booth was a great station activity for more crowd engagement. Benji also added on a professionally done video of the event for very reasonable cost. read more

Benji and his crew were amazing! He is very organized, has top of the line equipment and keeps the entertainment going. They did a great job with setting the games up for the guests and make it a lot of fun especially for the kids. They get out on the dance floor and get involved in the games and dance during the music! I highly recommend him for all parties especially bar and bat mitzvah parties! read more

Benji made our Bar Mitzvah experience amazing. His thoughtful planning with us started months before the event and continued all the way up until the day of the event which made the whole experience with him great. The music and games for the kids were perfect and he kept the party going and everyone engaged all night! The lighting he provided for our party room made the event over the top and we got coolness points from all the guests! We were so glad we chose Benji! As the Bar Mitzvah parents we knew we make the right choice as immediately following the party that night our son said to us "That was the best night of my life!". We can't thank Benji enough and we would recommend him to anyone who wants a phenomenal party experience! read more

Benji was an amazing DJ, and so much more, for our daughter's bat mitzvah. The kids and adults had so much fun that they never wanted to leave the dance floor. He got the party started, and the dance floor was packed until the very last note of the very last song. I had several adult guests come up to me during the night complimenting how well he handled the 70+ kids we had, keeping them entertained and engaged all night long. My daughter felt heard at all of the pre-event meetings and every detail she wanted, Benji was able to incorporate into her night. He was a consummate professional and very easy to work with, listening to every idea and concern and finding solutions and options. I give him the very highest of recommendations. We all had a wonderful time! read more

Dj Benji was amazing! He was great to work with. He really helped keep the party on track and kept all ages involved. We had a lot of activities going on including volleyball, horseshoes, dancing, food, etc- and Benji kept the music going and did not let people get lost, but kept them coming back to the music. We also used his photo booth services which was also well done. It was super convenient and the guests had a blast with his props- I think my aunts were fighting over who got to wear the purple wigs all night long. I also liked getting all the pictures later. I would highly recommend Benji to make your event special- my sons bar mitzvah was incredible! read more

Being relatively new to San Diego I was extremely worried about pulling this bar mitzvah party together. Someone recommended Benji and he put me at ease from start to finish. Better yet he managed to make a kids party equally fun for the adults! Everyone commented on how awesome the music was, and that's coming from New Yorkers ;). Thank you Benji, looking forward to my daughters party next year! read more

Benji is the best! His enthusiasm and energy, along with the party pumpers kept our son Evan's Bar Mitzvah fun for kids & adults. Benji is professional, making planning a pleasure. All games lead by Benji kept the kids engaged and having a great time throughout the evening. I highly recommend Benji for your next party! read more

Benji and his team are the absolute BEST! He was an integral part of making our daughter's Bat Mitzvah celebration the best night of her life! Benji was so easy to work with, listened to exactly what my daughter wanted and answered all of her questions to make her feel comfortable that everything would be exactly as she envisioned it. Benji and his team kept everyone on the dance floor all night, including young and old. He was a wealth of knowledge, in terms of timeline, resources, and fun "extras" to make the night special. We also used Benji for our "green screen" photo booth and all the event lighting, which narrowed down the number of vendors we had to work with, and he had all sorts of options, depending on budget and style. We can't wait to book him again for our son's Bar Mitzvah! read more

Benji is AMAZING! We hired Benji for our daughter's bat mitzvah. Everyone had a blast, most importantly, my moody daughter. She had so much fun. Every time I looked at her she was smiling and laughing. She was apprehensive about having a party with a DJ. She told me when we got home the night of the party how she had the BEST time ever! All of my friends also commented on how amazing the DJ was. Really, Benji is the BEST! My daughter said she liked that my friends were out on the dance floor too. Benji gets everyone out there. He makes the party what you want. He really cared about making sure my daughter was having a good time-as it was a party for her. He is very easy to work with. Easy to get in touch with, returns emails and calls promptly, is organized, has great ideas and generally just puts everyone at ease. I've already booked him for my son's bar mitzvah next year. If there's one thing in your budget to spend a little more money on, it's Benji! Entertainment can make or break your party. read more

When you work with Benji, you are not only hiring one of the most engaging and energetic DJ's in SoCal, but you also are hiring someone with great ideas for event execution. We first used Benji at my oldest daughter's Bat Mitzvah. We loved his desire to meet with our daughter 1:1 well before the party- as a way to get to know her better and truly understand her vision for a "dream event". Our first party was such as success, we immediately rebooked him for my second daughter's Bat Mitzvah two years later (which occurred the other night). Many guests at both events commented that Benji was they best DJ that they have heard. A large event is stressful enough but Benji has a miraculous way to offer calming, reassuring advice for a perfect evening. He happily worked with all of our vendors to coordinate a flawless evening. He directed the dance floor location and had great suggestions for the timing of events throughout the evening. I have seen some very good DJs connect well with teens and others connect better with adults. Benji has the unique ability to connect extremely well across all age groups...youngsters, teenagers, and adults. I find this to be a rare but important quality in a DJ which enables him to keep the dance floor packed for an entire evening. It's also great to work with Benji as a "one stop shop". For our recent party at an airplane hangar, he provided stage lights, up-lights, projector & screen (for a video montage), along with a customized green screen that complimented the theme of our event perfectly. The only drawback is that Benji books up well in advance so be sure to lock in your date ASAP. read more

Benji is awesome! Our Bar Mitzvah party required flexibility and last minute planning. Benji intuitively knew what to do, was very adaptable, professional and truly made everything better for us. He is a gem and we can't endorse him highly enough! He is a winning combination of a very calm, organized planner and a fun, energetic, always smiling entertainer. He is a huge asset to any event. read more
