Our Team

Your DJ should be somebody you’d want as your friend. It may be a funny point of view, but you have to click with, and like the style and vibe of your wedding DJ. He/She will be entrusted with the flow and fun (and microphone) at the most important day of your life.

We spend a lot of time hand selecting our DJ’s and grooming them to make sure they fit the quality standards that Beat Squad Entertainment holds for personal service, managing expectations, directing the flow of your wedding day and music knowledge. Our DJ’s have diverse musical tastes and knowledge to accommodate any genre of music you prefer.

At your complimentary consultation meeting, Ben Wallace, the owner of Beat Squad Entertainment, will help match you up with just the right fit for your event. You’re always welcome to meet your DJ in person, but you can learn a little more about us here too.

DJ Daze

I started DJing in 2000 at college clubs and fraternity/sorority events in Indiana while earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunications. After more than a decade of honing my craft, I’m currently in my 5th season DJing for the Columbus Blue Jackets and am entering my 6th year of monthly bookings at Hollywood Casino. I’m also a huge Ohio State fan and have been blessed to annually DJ on the 50-yard line of the Horseshoe since the inaugural Ohio State Four Miler race.

I pride myself on playing the music you want to hear. My DJ style, ability, and music knowledge is adaptable to any type of event. While my expertise is creating a fun and energetic wedding atmosphere, I enjoy differentiating my set with the Crew SC, Warrior Dash, The Alternative Music Awards, corporate events, school dances, and my yearly position as the Finish Line DJ at the Cap City Marathon.

As a DJ, I’m very organized, but am also flexible to make last minute changes. I’m calm under pressure and can quickly find solutions to any emergency situation.

Clients enjoy working with me, because I’m fun, honest, and reliable. I will make your event unique by listening to your needs and understanding your vision. I’m personable and friendly, so you and your guests feel comfortable requesting songs. I specialize in reading crowds and interacting with your guests to play the music that will get them on the dance floor and keep them dancing.

While I personally LOVE throwback Hip Hop and Top40, I’m an ego-free who can mix all music and I look forward to exceeding your expectations to make your event memorable.

Currently you can catch me spinning tunes across Ohio, where ever the people come to dance and as far as my car can drive.

I love my job as a DJ at Beat Squad Entertainment, and that transpires through my work and the relationship that I have with my clients. I enjoy working with clients to create a fun and customized event that really impresses them.
