Another Bash at The Ben

Dana & Adam

Ballroom at The Ben
Philadelphia, PA

The Ballroom at the Ben is one of Philadelphia's most extravagant facilities. With giant crystal chandeliers and old World elegance, it is an opulent setting for life’s most important events.

When providing entertainment at the Ballroom at The Ben, one thing that I personally look forward to is spending a few short hours working with a GREAT banquet director, Mr. Ott Ricci. He combines an elegant and expeditious delivery of special events with a laid-back and fun demeanor. I greatly enjoy watching "The Master" at work.

There are some receptions where I have to work hard and make tough (and sometimes "gutsy") decisions on how to motivate a group of friends and family out to the dance floor.

Other times, there are receptions like this one... Where I feel I must pour buckets of water around the edges of the dance floor to "prevent the fire from spreading"! What an OUTSTANDING group of guests!

To give you an idea of how much energy was flowing in this room, check out the photo gallery. Do you see the photo of Dana and Adam hoisted over the crowd on the dance floor? News flash... They're not Jewish. They're just WILD!

Congratulations, Dana and Adam!
