We hired the Ben Mallare band for our wedding back in August and they are the #1 thing people rave about from our wedding! They are incredible musicians who had everyone dancing throughout the entire night! Friends of ours who never dance at weddings said they did not leave the dance floor all night. We have recommended them to everyone we know and a number of people who attended our wedding have requested their contact information to hire them -- they're THAT good. The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring this world-class band. We cannot recommend them more! Thank you Ben Mallare Band!
We hired the Ben Mallare band for our desert wedding last week and are still speechless. They had everyone dancing even before dinner and before our grand entrance… they nailed the song for our first dance and kept the energy flying high the entire night. All of our guests kept asking how we found such a talented band. The range of songs they can play (and play WELL) is extensive.
We had very high expectations which were blown out of the water. Thank you Ben and team.
Also, not only incredibly talented musicians but they were communicative and true professionals throughout the entire planning process. Booking was easy, and they easily adapted to our VERY last minute rain plan.
We also had the string quartet for our ceremony and they absolutely nailed it
Ben Mallare and the band went above and beyond. We never left our dance floor at our wedding and we are still getting compliments from guests on how energetic and fun our band was - and how amazing they sound! We are so lucky they were our band which was our #1 priority when wedding planning. We couldn’t recommend a better band!
Blown away!

Our daughter and now son-in law’s wedding at the Hotel Californian in Santa Barbara was one of those great events, and among the kudos were the reviews of the string quartet, the cocktail hour ensemble, and the ten featured pieces that played during dinner, all provided by Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment. A number of our guests work in the music business. We have a good idea of what it takes to provide the level of entertainment they delivered, and we know that what they did was special.
The audio at the ceremony was everything we could have hoped for, clear yet soft on a rooftop? Amazing! The band indoors throughout the evening was also truly remarkable. The arrangements were spot on, the vocalists were excellent, and the group was cohesive. Hard to do, given the vagaries of scheduling, etc. Moreover, that the audio team did their jobs so expertly was really what carried the day.

BME were SO incredible for our wedding!! From the ceremony to the dance party, they absolutely crushed it. Guests were raving about them all night. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger. I promise you they are a very worthy investment!
Cannot say enough amazing things about Ben Mallare and the team. They were easy to work with throughout the planning process, and made me feel the setlist and flow was personal and customized. The performances blew me away, and my guests are still talking about it months later. We had a dreamy string trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour that made us feel like we were in a movie. Then the reception felt like a private concert. The musicians and vocalists were top notch, and played the perfect setlist to have guests on the dance floor all night. They truly were the piece that made our wedding special, and have been the most talked about part of our event.
We had the best experience working with the Ben Mallare Band. When I say they made the night, they really made the night spectacular. Ben's MCing was spot on, the songs they played were perfect, and they hit every single note! I had so many people tell me how fabulous the band was and ask for their contact information afterwards. If I could give them 100/10 stars I would :) If they're available your wedding weekend, hire them immediately!
Ben and his team put on the best set I could have ever asked for at my wedding! Not only were they so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, but they exceeded all of our expectations when it came to music. They were very accommodating with our special requests during ceremony and reception, and they even helped us pull off a special performance with my dad and I. They are a GREAT value, and it was some of the best money we spent during our wedding weekend. I could not recommend them enough!

We hired Ben Mallare for our wedding, and they truly exceeded every expectation. From our first conversation about music preferences to the very last song, they brought incredible energy, talent, and joy to the entire celebration.
Guests were raving before we even made it into the reception--several asked how we found them and wanted their website on the spot.
Their vocals were outstanding, the musicians were top-tier, and they read the crowd perfectly. The dance floor was packed all night--from our college friends to our grandparents. It honestly felt like the perfect mix of private concert, dance party, and unforgettable celebration. If anything, we just wish we had a bigger dance floor!
If you're looking for a band to take your wedding to the next level and create lasting memories, book them. We feel so lucky they were part of our day. 10/10 experience.
Absolutely the best band. Elevated our wedding to another level. They gave both an amazing performance and were incredibly professional. Performed guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and then the band smashed it during the reception. There are no break between songs so the dancing doesn’t stop and no one was leaving the dance floor. Our wedding night wouldn’t have been the same without them and I could not recommend this band more.
The Ben Mallare Band completely exceeded our expectations and made our wedding the epic dance party we dreamed of. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was absolutely packed and stayed that way all night long. Their energy was infectious and their talent level was incredible - they nailed every song they played, from current hits to classics, and had everyone from our college friends to our parents dancing non-stop.
We loved that they listened to our genre suggestions and they crafted a perfect playlist that appealed to guests of all ages. Their ability to read the room and keep the party going was phenomenal. They even learned the Philadelphia Eagles fight song for us! If having an epic dance party is your priority for your wedding (like it was for ours), booking the Ben Mallare Band is an absolute must. They're not just great musicians - they're incredible entertainers who will make your wedding unforgettable!
The Ben Mallare Band was the absolute best wedding band we could have asked for. It was important to us to have a band that would get the crowd going and keep the energy up all night and they truly exceeded our expectations - no one left the dance floor all night. They are extremely talented, professional and easy to work with - they worked with us on all of our special requests and were super responsive throughout the planning process. We had an absolute blast with them and could not recommend them more!
This was the absolute best wedding band ever! They are extremely talented and the energy and vibe had all of our wedding guests dancing the entire night! They also worked with my dad so he was able to perform a surprise song and they backed him up. They were very responsive during the planning process and so kind and easy to work with! 10/10 recommend hiring them for your wedding!!
posting my personal email to the owner because it gives you all the insight you need. almost a month since our wedding and people are still texting me about the band. other families are inquiring about using them for their own events in the future. absolutely INCREDIBLE band. not a single person was sitting at the wedding. old. young and everything in between. they were worth every penny. don’t skip on a live band and don’t skip on ben mallare!!!! “I am still decompressing from the wedding but I just needed to send you and email because Mike and I can not stop talking about the band and neither can the guests. Chance, singers (wish i remembered the other incredible singers names - my adrenaline was peaking haha), band members are INCREDIBLY talented professionals… Andy we were BLOWN away. The Hurricane song was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I have to attach the video for you my friend took. Mike and I have watched it 500 times today (real number). It is a memory we will never ever forget. I was originally told by my planner I had to choose between “Hurricane†and “Heavy Metal†song because it was too many special love song requests. I’m not sure if that was a mix up or if it was a surprise but they played it and i was SHOCKED. This was my only surprise during the ceremony / reception (every wedding detail I planned). That song is very special to my family and I. I am a triplet and my dad used to blast that in the house and teach us three how to head bang at just four years old 🤣 twenty seven years later and we still got it. I was the last one of the three to get married so having that moment with my siblings was top three highlights of the day. We have had every single person that attended RAVE about the band. Everyone said they felt like they were at a concert. Multiple times throughout the night I looked around and nearly every single person was on the dance floor, old and young. It was just perfect. “
They were perfect, literally perfect. Through all our questions, requests, demands, inquiries, concerns, rescheduling, on and on and on, they were nothing but gracious, professional, prompt and courteous. Then they showed up and rocked the hell out of absolutely everyone. My wife and I, and every single one of our guests, give them the highest praise possible. And the cherry on top, they let me get on stage and jam with them. We had Ben and his band, which we clearly highly recommend dishing out the extra money for and locking in. Perfect.
