Reviews
“As Master of Ceremonies, Benji added a special spark to HUGS’ nonprofit fundraiser. His high energy command of the audience generated enthusiasm and a fun-loving atmosphere. Benji’s personality is both friendly and professional. It was a pleasure to work with him!”
— Ellen Bradley, Heads Up Guidance ServicesOutstanding MC and Auctioneer! We were incredibly fortunate to have Benji volunteer as our MC and assist with the live auction at our Night Stalker Association Fundraiser. From start to finish, he brought energy, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm; helped us raise even more than we anticipated—while keeping the night enjoyable for everyone. We can’t recommend him highly enough.
— Savannah Magnolia Events & The Night Stalker Association TeamBenji was our DJ and Emcee for our company Christmas party last year and it was super fun! He has a friendly yet commanding presence that makes an event feel both choreographed and spontaneous. At our party we had a raffle ticket/ white elephant event that he didn’t know we were having until he got there. He stepped right up to emcee that moment as if he had known all along. It was seamless and engaging! As a DJ, he did a phenomenal job balancing requests while also reading the energy of the room to foster the experience that the group needed. He’s witty, articulate, playful and all around FUN! If you’re considering hiring Benji as your event host, I promise you won’t regret it!”
