A SHORT HISTORY OF
HIGHER GROUND
How We Got Here And Where We Are Going
Higher Ground Entertainment was founded by Ben Gershen & Mason Case with one goal in mind: to provide the gold standard in event entertainment experiences.
We started this company after earning our 10,000 hours working with incredible clients at amazing locations throughout the West Coast. From Silicon Valley soiree's, to Napa Valley weddings- we cut our teeth in this industry hosting all sorts of productions for high profile clients & well known venues.
Our experience in DJing, MCing, producing, remixing, choreographing and educating helped us to learn the industry inside and out. Add to that a boutique approach events, top-notch hospitality, and a whole lot of style- and you've got the recipe that makes Higher Ground.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT HIGHER GROUND
Don't just take it from us, read directly from those that
have hired us to DJ their events.
"We had a great experience hiring Higher Ground Entertainment for our wedding. They were organized, professional, and had great communication. All of our music and sound went off without a hitch - the vibes were immaculate all day. Our guests had an absolute blast on the dance floor, and to this day will mention how great our DJ Joel was. We highly recommend them for weddings or any other events."
Miles + Melodie
"Do yourself a favor and bring Higher Ground to your event! Ben DJ'd our wedding and the dance floor was packed the entire time. Ben DJ'd our entire wedding and the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner were all perfect. So many of our friends and family brought up how amazing our DJ was and how they were sad when it had to end. Ben truly made our night the most special. Ben was amazing leading up to the event too. We did a few calls to make sure he understood what we were wanting and offered perfect suggestions when we didn't know. They suggested and brought in lighting, and it really brought the space together. Would recommend! 12/10"

"My assistant Kelsey & I worked a wedding with Ben from Higher Ground Entertainment, and he was awesome! His equipment was top-notch, he set up two different areas (ceremony area then reception upstairs) with ease and was always on top of everything throughout the night. Highly recommend him and his company to anyone getting married. As a wedding coordinator, a great DJ like them is hard to come by, so make sure you book their team to ensure a great day/night on your big day!"

"Mason gets 5 stars on all accounts! We had a major snafu with the venue A/V and Mason was Johnny on the spot. The technology at the Redd was broken to play our video and slide show. Mason found a friend that had a projector to play the video. We couldn't play the slide show but at least the video was played which was really important to us! The quality was ok but it was shown and no one knew the difference.
It was a scramble for Mason and he pulled through!"
April + Keith
"Ben and Mason from Higher Ground Entertainment know how to bring the party! Every time we work together, they light up the dance floor and keep the energy high all night long. Their knack for reading the crowd and playing the perfect mix is unmatched. If you want a wedding that’s all about the fun, these are your guys. Can’t wait to party with them again! 🎶🎉"

"Ben at Higher Ground Entertainment provided an amazing DJ experience for our wedding. He was so great to work with and created such a perfect vibe throughout all the different parts of our evening. He was very communicative and worked to understand what our vision was and was able to bring it to life. I cannot recommend their services enough!"
Sarah + Noel
"Working with Ben and Higher Ground was an absolutely amazing experience! We hired Ben to DJ our wedding and it was the BEST dance party ever! My husband and I really enjoyed our pre-planning meetings with Ben, he was always prepared, very professional and always put any of our worries at ease. We had heard that he was the best DJ in the city, and we believe it and can endorse that! Ben's skill is unmatched. Look no further for your event's music needs!"
Emily + Sam
"Would highly recommend working with Higher Ground for your DJ needs. We utilized their services for our wedding and couldn't have been happier. They reflected our music preferences fully, were attentive to our needs throughout the night, and looked and acted in a professional manner. We only wish we would have invited them to the after party!"
Rebecca + Nate
"Thank you to Ben & Mason for being a part of our celebration - it was an epic day! We had exploratory calls with several DJs and knew the minute we jumped off our intro call with Ben that Higher Ground was the team for us. We appreciated their excitement, prompt communication (and patience when I wasn't quick with responding), organization via their planning app and general loveliness to work with! Their equipment is sleek and I had so many guests come up to me and say 'we are LOVING your DJ's vibe' - thanks Mason! :)"
