Private Party•Reviewed on October 7, 2021•From Queens, NY

We hired Ben for my mother's retirement party and he was nothing short of spectacular. He is a consummate professional and one hell of a nice guy. All of my guests (50+) were very taken with his performance. Would absolutely hire again! HIGHLY recommend!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on October 13, 2019•From Brooklyn, NY

Benjamin showed up to our daughters 1st birthday on time and ready to entertain! It was an Oktoberfest theme and Benjamin complimented Accordian playing with his own lederhosen! Adults, children and babies all loved the music. During the 2 hr performance a guest was overheard saying “An Accordian player! Now that’s a Pro move!” I highly recommend Benjamin for all and any Accordian needs.

Family Reunion•Reviewed on November 25, 2018•From New Egypt, NJ

Ben was awesome. He made the event by providing a great soundtrack to our family reunion. The brief was fun Ukranian and Slavic music whilst wandering around to create the atmosphere! He nailed it! Informal and professional. Great communications beforehand and on time and in tune! ???????? 5 star

Benjamin performed for our annual Oktoberfest and was awesome! Literally can play any song on the accordion! He added that extra something special to our party and folks were having fun & very impressed. Thanks again, Benjamin!!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on September 29, 2018•From Astoria, NY

Ben is a bit of a New York legend - don’t be fooled by his modesty. Before playing our party, I had actually partied with Ben a dozen times at various German spots...though in my memory he was more of a vision - an accordion god - than a mortal. Yes. Ben showed up early, played the hits of yesterday and today, taught us how to “prosit,” had lederhosen and can play with babies on his knee... but what we will never know, is just how high we could gone had it not been a 1st Birthday party. The sky is the limit with Ben. Come with your heart open, your voice loud and be ready to party. Ben is a gem - don’t take the opportunity to celebrate with him for granted.

Thanks so much Jessica! It's easy when you have such a great group of people to play for.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 15, 2018•From Brooklyn, NY

Ben Ickies was amazing, easy to work with, professional, and on time. He played the two songs we asked him to learn, plus a whole bunch of other great tunes. We really started our marriage off right with Ben!

Celebration•Reviewed on June 5, 2018•From New York City, NY

Benjamin exceeded our expectations! When our guests wanted to break into song and sing a few numbers we didn't count on, Benjamin jumped right in and made our event a success. We will be hiring him again!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 15, 2017•From Rockville Centre, NY

Benjamin was a fantastic addition to my 30th birthday party. I held an Oktoberfesg themed party in my backyard and having an accordion player was such a great touch. He arrived early, was super professional and very talented! Highly recommend!

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on July 13, 2017•From New York City, NY

Benjamin played a beautiful mix of sea shanties and French accordian for my daughter's two-year-old pirate party. Such talent! And he was friendly and easy going to boot. The kids were mesmerized by the instrument, and loved dancing to the waltzes and jigs.

Thanks so much, it was a real pleasure on my part as well!
