About

From an early age I took to playing guitar after watching my dad practicing to songs from Beatles and Led Zeppelin albums. Since then I have worked on creating a product that is extremely versatile, whether it be a soloist to accompany your Ceremony, Canapés and Dinner Music or a live band or DJ to kick off your dance floor, I have something for you. You can find some examples of my work on my website at www.benfoxband.com.

There are not enough stars to express how happy we were with having Ben perform at our weddding. Trying to plan a wedding in a pandemic wasnt ideal, but Ben made the entertainment organisation a breeze. He was very responsive to emails and song requests to trial during his tuesday night online gigs. Ben learnt songs that we were considering to play during his online sets, before we had even locked him in ! Ben was open to all our song requests from the isle, to cocktail hour into our reception and dancfloor. His options and song lists are expansive and he executed on the day perfectly Alot of positive feedback from our guests with a few grabbing cards for their upcoming events. I would not change a thing about our experience wirh Ben. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review Emma. Thank you also for having me on your wedding day, it was a pleasure performing for you all and congrats to you and Nathan. I hope we get to do it all again at another wedding some day soon 😁.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the services Ben provided for our wedding at Palm Beach. From the first initial conversations to the in-depth song selection options and to the event, Ben not only exceeded our expectations with his adaptability but also his vocal abilities. We would highly recommend using Ben for your wedding!!!

This man is amazing, he performed wonderfully and made our day very special. He even took the time to learn a song and perform a duet with one of our bridesmaids which was magical. Ben was involved in a car accident on the day of our wedding only hours before the ceremony started, yet he still managed to get up to us in the hunter valley despite all the adversity, he called in his family to help him get up there and made it in the nick of time. We cannot explain how greatful we are that he put so much effort in to making it to us and to then put on an absolute blast of a performance. From the bottom of our heart we thank you so much.

Ben was an absolute talent and an incredible human to work with ! He performed all our special songs acoustically and then turned into this epic DJ who had the whole wedding on the dance floor for the entire evening! I cannot recommend Ben enough. Ben was also our MC and he just made our day incredible.

What are the benefits of hiring a band or DJ over DIY music?

Ben Fox Band -Solo / Duo Acoustic & DJ

There is huge benefit to having a professional Band or DJ handling the music at your event due to the energy they can create while performing. They also act as a gate keeper for that one guest at every wedding who decides that they would like to take control of the playlist, things can get messy with songs chopping and changing every 20 seconds.

In my experience performing as both a live band and DJ, a band usually is the better choice for a huge party. The energy created by three or more performers interacting with your guests, getting them involved and singing along is hard to beat. I've had some of the best nights performing as a quartet and having guests up to sing.

It all comes down to budget in the end, but having the right entertainment at your wedding can drastically change the atmosphere of your day.

Please get in touch if you have any questions. If you are sydney based, I provide services for full day weddings starting with solo acoustic music throughout your ceremony, canapés and a band or DJ throughout your reception. You can find info and promo clips at www.benfoxband.com.

All the best with your wedding planning.

Ben.
