The reviews are legit — this is the band you want to take your wedding to the next level! Incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with.

Finding the perfect band for our Scottsdale wedding this past March was such a battle. We sifted through countless websites, listened to demo reels that all started to blend together, and worried we wouldn't find a band that captured the energy we envisioned. Then we stumbled upon the Ben Mallare Band, and let me tell you, it was like a weight lifted! From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room was electric. Their enthusiasm and love for music was contagious and they had everyone on the dance floor all night long. We can't say enough about their incredible talent. Their voices are phenomenal, and they flawlessly performed all of our favorite songs, including the ones they learned specially for us. It meant the world to have them play those special requests! But the Ben Mallare Band isn't just about the music... They put on a great show! We loved their fun choreography and the little touches like the bedazzled microphone. It added so much personality to their performance. We've been getting compliments from our guests nonstop about how amazing the band was. They truly made our wedding unforgettable, and we're so grateful to have found them. If you're looking for a band that will keep your guests dancing and create lasting memories, the Ben Mallare Band is the perfect choice! You won't regret book them!

We can’t recommend Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment enough! Our wedding guests were blown away by their set during our reception and are still raving about them weeks later! We hired BME&E to perform during our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and they crushed all three events! The dance floor was raging all night and we wish we could relive night solely to experience their performance again. Ben and Andy were extremely responsive, accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process as well. Other pluses were that their fee included travel and accommodation costs for our wedding in Las Vegas and that they brought their own lighting. Thank you again, Ben and Andy!

an amazing band with every feature you could ask for. They took our party to the top and made it incredible. I would book them again in a heartbeat!!

Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment blew us away with their talent, ease to work with, and the VIBE they brought to our wedding! We wanted our wedding to be a blast, and the band had everyone out of their seats dancing for the majority of the evening. Between learning our songs, to the longest Hora in history, Ben Mallare made our evening so special. Very thankful.

Hands down the absolute best!! If you're looking for a band that will elevate your wedding celebration to new heights, Ben Mallare Band is the unrivaled choice for a night of non-stop, exhilarating fun!

The Ben Mallare band played at our wedding (both ceremony and reception) and we could not have been happier! The music was fantastic, and all of our guests danced the whole night. Several of our guests also told us they were the best wedding band they’ve seen. The music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding to us and The Ben Mallare Band delivered. In addition to being great performers, they were also very easy to work with. Everyone was very responsive over email and helpful when we had questions. I highly recommend booking The Ben Mallare Band.

We were extremely impressed with Ben Mallare Events! They were well organized, easy to coordinate with, and fantastic entertainers. If you're looking for the perfect wedding or event band, this is your group.

Ben and team were, in many guests' opinions, the highlight of our wedding reception! The energy that the band brought, the professionalism of the team, etc. were better than we could have expected! Additionally, Andy and Ben were fantastic to work with during the planning process! 11/10 recommend :)

Ben Mallare Band is the best! We hired them to play at our wedding reception and we were very impressed. Music was fantastic and the band was a blast! They played all our favorite songs and even learned a few that we special requested. Guests raved that it was the best wedding band they have heard in a long time! Highly recommend.

Fabulous!!! I can't say enough wonderful things about this band..their energy, talent and ability to get the party dancing is incredible! They played for our son's wedding and we were blown away at how great the music was. Everyone was on their feet the entire time!

This is the band you want at your wedding! Ben’s team brought huge energy all night long and our dance floor was packed from the moment they stepped on stage through the end of the night. After our wedding, we had everyone from friends to uncles telling us that it was the best wedding band they’d ever seen. Ben’s team was collaborative in understanding our music preferences and learning a few special requests to make it an unforgettable night. We were also impressed with band’s high level of professionalism during the planning stages, while scheduling travel logistics, and on the big day. These guys know how to make your event shine. Do yourself a favor and lock this band in for your big day!

Fantastic entertainers! Ben Mallare band performed at our daughter's wedding on June 3 at Solage in Calistoga. They were the best I've heard in a long time. Everyone danced until the very end of their performance at midnight. I highly recommend this band!

Finding the right band for our wedding was probably the number one item on my wedding to do list. I reviewed quite a few different options and ultimately chose Ben Mallare because of their reviews and because of the perceived value of their service compared to other vendors. All of the positive reviews from other couples on here are 100 percent accurate. They literally made our wedding an epic party from start to finish, so much so that people had to be asked to leave the dance floor BEFORE food service began. The dance floor was packed with people dancing and singing along for hours, including my 95 year old grandpa. Chance was our MC and he was an absolute home run, but all of the musicians were incredibly talented, and the saxophone player was absolutely killing it. I had so many friends and family ask how we found such an incredible band. They made our wedding feel like something a Hollywood celebrity would throw at a price point that was more reasonable than many other vendors out there. Hire them as early as you can, they are worth every penny.

Recently witnessed one of the best function bands I’ve heard in a long time , they played at wedding here in Scotland and were outstanding. Thanks for making a great night

Believe the hype, this is the best wedding band, ever. For our wedding we chose a 7 person band with Chance as our MC. These musicians are unbelievably talented and their stage presence is beyond fun to witness. By the time the dinner service concluded, there was not a single guest in their seat the remainder of the night. Their music catalog and choices were perfect. The band performed all of our requested songs to perfection as well and even allowed some surprise performances by the Groom and the Groom’s parents throughout the evening. This is a wedding band that can enhance any wedding event into the greatest live music party ever. We hope to run into members of this band when we are guests at other weddings, this is a vendor for your wedding you do not want to pass up on.

We book Ben Mallare band for our reception and it was one of the best decisions! They were very friendly and professional beginning from booking to the end. They were prompt with their replies and always nice regardless of how many questions I had! And of course the DAY of the event!!!! We had such an amazing time and it definitely made such a big difference in having our reception be as awesome as it was to have them! We even had guests coming up repeatedly telling us how great of a time they're having because of the live band. These guys truly did superb and we would totally recommend! I wish we had booked for longer because it felt like it all went by so fast and before we knew it, it was their last song!! We had such a blast and wish we could do it all over again!!!!

We highly recommend Ben Mallare! We hired them for our wedding in San Clemente and had an 8 piece band for the reception, 2 strings for the ceremony and 2 Jazz musicians for the cocktail hour. This was their first time playing at our venue and even with a last minute ceremony location change, everything went smoothly. The planning process also went extremely smoothly with special song requests and some last minute additions to the band. Our guests are still talking about how they were the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. We especially loved how they sang throughout the dinner portion. It made for a very intimate evening. We would easily hire them again and recommend you do too!

My husband did a lot of research on wedding bands, and we are so glad to have found Ben Mallare Entertainment. They were courteous and professional leading up to the big day and always took time to answer our questions. We weren't entirely sure how many pieces we wanted, so they walked us through different scenarios and recommendations to find the right fit. They also worked with us to ensure that our ceremony music began at the right place in the song (we didn't necessarily want all of them to start right at the beginning). Our reception was a true DANCE PARTY! They brought so much energy and life to the dance floor - our guests were out there all night and then some! Everyone has since consistently commented on how amazing our band was. They truly made it the dance party we wanted! Definitely hire Ben Mallare if you are looking for a band!

We booked the Ben Mallare Band for our wedding. Holy Moly, they were absolutely amazing. First, the process was incredibly smooth from start to finish. They provided detailed guides and questions to help ensure your event goes off without a hitch. We also met (virtually) leading up to the event to make sure that we had every detail ironed out. Overall, the planning was wonderful. More importantly!!! The music was amazing! The band had a lot of energy, great songs, they really knew how to play to the crowd and keep everyone on their feet and having a good time. They were just phenomenal and extremely talented. I cannot recommend them enough! We literally got so many compliments on how good the band was from our guests.

The Ben Mallare band was incredible!! They played at our wedding in Calistoga and were truly amazing! So many of our guests commented on the band after the wedding saying they were the best wedding band they have ever seen! Highly recommend!!

Ben Mallare Events absolutely crushed it at our wedding. We opted to use the band featuring Chance as the lead singer & MC, as well as some acoustic entertainment during our ceremony & cocktail hour. By the end of the night, every single wedding guest commented on how much they enjoyed the live music throughout the evening. Many said it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. Chance was a true professional & the band was able to play a wide variety of music, ranging from classics to more modern music. I'd recommend them over & over again if you are looking for live entertainment.

This band is fantastic. We were lucky enough to have Chance and Samantha perform, and they were absolutely incredible. We're still getting compliments a month+ after our wedding about the two of them and the band overall. Our wedding was in Carmel, CA, where top-notch bands are few and far between, but we were determined to find a great one, believing the right entertainment can make or break the night. We interviewed a few LA-based bands and ultimately settled on Ben Mallare, as they seemed the most in line with what we were planning -- a high-energy, high-quality, party-inducing band for us, friends, and family to have the night of our lives. Ben Mallare did not let us down and, in fact, exceeded our already high expectations. They performed acoustic music for our ceremony, recorded for our cocktail hour, and live vocals/full band for our reception. All segments were perfect. Additionally, they were incredibly professional and responsive throughout our planning process. We would recommend them without reservation for anyone looking to plan the wedding of their dreams. Thank you, Ben, Andy, Chance, Samantha, and team!

The Ben Mallare band was absolutely incredible. Our guests were raving all night about their energy, talent, and amazingly wide range of music. Through all of our research leading up to their choosing, we found them to be the most well rounded and talented group of musicians in the wedding band circuit (you’ll find that a lot of the other bands sound very generic). The price point wasn’t nearly as outrageous as some other highly recommended bands — we also found them to be much more talented than some bands that were charging twice as much. They were very receptive to us guiding them through what kind of music we wanted played. They have an extensive song list, and we were able to make some special requests that made our night truly memorable. Our event also had an interesting and unorthodox flow, but the band was flexible and made everything happen without us having to worry at all. They’re not just your typical wedding band, but a wonderful group of talented musicians — we absolutely recommend them to everyone!

Run, do not walk, to book Ben Mallare and the Complete All-Stars featuring Chance. We had the absolute joy of working with Ben Mallare and his team for our wedding in August, and it was the best decision we made. Having a fantastic wedding band was a top priority for us--we love live music and can be pretty picky, and we wanted the dance floor to be packed. We were absolutely blown away, and so were our guests. They are the best wedding band we have ever heard, and many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding to say as much! We were so impressed with not only their musical talent—vocal and instrumental—but also the energy and presence they brought to their performance. We so appreciate how professional everyone was, and how seamless it was to work with Ben and Andy in the planning process—they were both so responsive and helpful. Our only regret is that it all flew by so fast—we could have stayed on that dance floor until daylight the next day. They are SUCH a talented group.

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.

We can not give higher recommendations for the Ben Mallare Band. We had Chance and the band play for our wedding and they made it a night that our guests will never forget. It’s one thing to say it was the best night of our lives, but it takes it to another level when every single guest comments on how tremendous the band was. They provided guidance, personalized songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception that were absolutely spot on for all age groups. High energy, extremely talented musicians, and beautiful music that is unmatched.

We danced our faces off at our wedding thanks to the Ben Mallare band. Honestly, my wife and I (and our guests) were completely blown away by the band. I felt like I was at a concert perfectly designed for us. The experience of working with the team, getting to select our favorite songs, was seamless and fun. Our first dance was completely epic thanks to the band. I just want to say thank you and I feel so lucky. This is definitely the band you want at your wedding if you want everyone to dance and have a great time!!

Ben Mallare and their team were excellent from start to finish throughout the wedding process. They communicated quickly and efficiently and most importantly they were excellent on the big day. They kept that party going and picked excellent songs. I would recommend them to any couple looking for a great band!

“WHERE did you find this band?!”, “this is by far the best wedding band I’ve ever heard”, and “this band is so fun!” are a few of the many quotes we heard throughout our wedding night and the days since. The entire time, we were (and still are) so proud to share the Ben Mallare name and are so thrilled we could share our day with the All-Stars Band feat. Chance. Our wedding reception and the dance floor was really a highlight of our entire wedding weekend, and the band was world-class. We could go on and on about how much fun the dance floor was, how engaging the band was with weddinggoers, how great the music was, etc., but you should take all of that as an absolute given. Ben Mallare’s All Stars Band brings together truly talented, hard working and fun musicians, the perfect recipe for success. The rest of our review will go more into how easy and reliable the Ben Mallare team was to work with - really one of the most important parts for couples and planners to pull off a big and complex production with little stress. We came across Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment by pure luck and chance early in 2021 after our engagement. We knew music was going to be a very important part of our wedding weekend and we wanted the absolute best of the best. We searched up and down the entire west of Canada and the west coast of the U.S. for the most impressive wedding band we could find, and landed on Ben Mallare. We got to know Ben and his team as part of the onboarding / planning process, and have only the nicest things to say. Our wedding was in Banff, Alberta, Canada and we had a feeling the location could be a bit of a challenge for any band - but nope(!). The Ben Mallare team took care of everything, from travel, to lodging, to equipment, to sound, to production. For us, bringing in Ben Mallare and the All-Stars Band feat. Chance was literally as easy as going with a local band. We were so impressed with their execution and ease, and we had literally zero stress throughout the entire process. In addition to travel, the Ben Mallare team worked very well with our planner and producer, Lynn Fletcher Weddings. We had a very complex schedule, from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception with many minute-by-minute details worked out in advance. Everyone worked together so well, it was a very impressive sight to behold watching the symphony of vendors come together to pull off a magical weekend at the Banff Springs Hotel. The Ben Mallare team was a huge part of our weekend and contributed immensely to its success and our enjoyment (a personal THANK YOU to each and every one of the musicians and techs who came up, we loved having you(!)). We can’t wait to look back at our wedding photos, videos and think about all the happy memories we had on our wedding weekend. We will always smile and chuckle at the huge coup we all pulled off (with Ben Mallare’s help, of course) having such an incredible band come up to party with us at the Banff Springs Hotel. We also know that many of our guests will have that same memory, and we have only the highest recommendation for everything Ben Mallare.

We loved having the Ben Mallare Band at our wedding and would highly recommend them! We hired them for our wedding in Palm Dessert in November 2022 (8 piece band for a five hour reception and 2 musicians for ceremony/cocktail hour) and everything about the experience was outstanding. They were extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and were very flexible to accommodate special requests. Day of, the musicians and vocalists were extremely talented and professional, and brought great energy and stage presence throughout the day. Our guests absolutely loved the band and were dancing all night long, with a number of guests telling us this was the best wedding band they had ever seen.

The Ben Mallare team was amazing! They were great to work with leading up to our wedding and made all of our requests for the music and flow of the day happen, and with talented musicians. The dance band was so much fun and we got many compliments from our guests. We would definitely recommend using Ben Mallare for your event !

We can not say enough good about this band!! As self proclaimed "music snobs" we were very picky about the band we went with. We narrowed it down to 3 or 4 and did extensive research and calls with all. From the very beginning, these guys were so impressive. The professionalism, organisation and responsiveness was so appreciated - we knew then we were hiring professionals who care and want to deliver. All that remained amazing and then the night of the wedding they shone even more. Their music was amazing!!!! Every guest (every!) commented how great they were and everyone (young and old) danced all night. Even my dad who does not dance.. had the best time dancing up a storm! They were seamless with the toasts, announcements, time line too. I could keep going but they truly were 100% from beginning of the planning until after the wedding!!! They made our wedding!

The number one priority my bride and I wanted for our wedding was for a night full of dancing--not people begrudgingly on their feet, but truly having the best time on the dance floor. Ben Mallare absolutely delivered that for us. Since getting back from our honeymoon, the first thing people say to us is "that band you had was the best wedding band we've ever seen". If you are reading this review, don't waste another minute--book Ben Mallare--you'll be so glad you did. PS--they even learned a house/electronic song for us by request--they can truly do it all.

The Ben Mallare Band took our wedding to the next level. They were fun and professional. Very easy to work with and of course sounded GREAT! They played songs from a wide variety of genres, made every transition in the wedding program seamless and 'read the room' perfectly for just the right amount of energy to bring. I had so many of my guests tell me how much they enjoyed the band's performance. We knew we wanted to have a live band to celebrate our long, long awaited wedding celebration. I reviewed 50+ LA bands' videos before I found them and ecstatic when we were able to book them. They have that full-band sound, and their performance was tight. Would highly recommend booking them for ANY event.

We booked a band with Ben Mallare for our wedding and they did NOT disappoint! Andy Robbins was our coordinator, and he was extremely thorough and organized with everything. The band itself was AWESOME! We went with two vocalists, 2 horns, piano, guitar and bass. The energy was incredible. They had their own lighting. The singers sounded fantastic. We were able to request up to 4 songs for them to learn. This band was amazing and had our guests boogying all night. Highly highly recommend!

I am so incredibly lucky to have had the Ben Mallare band at my wedding. I cannot even begin to tell you the number of compliments we received not only the night of the wedding itself but even the weeks/months that followed the wedding. It was extremely important to us to have a band that got people on their feet and stay on the dance floor the whole night, and the Ben Mallare band did not disappoint! They were extremely responsive and easy to talk to, and they had a wide selection of songs. From the ceremony, cocktail hour, to the reception everything was pure perfection.

The price point wasn’t nearly as outrageous as some other highly recommended bands — we also found them to be much more talented than some bands that were charging twice as much. They were very receptive to us guiding them through what kind of music we wanted played. They have an extensive song list, and we were able to make some special requests that made our night truly memorable. Our event also had an interesting and unorthodox flow, but the band was flexible and made everything happen without us having to worry at all. They’re not just your typical wedding band, but a wonderful group of talented musicians — we absolutely recommend them to everyone!

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.

Having a memorable band was the #1 priority for us when we set about planning our wedding. Ben Mallare, Chance, and their band provided an absolutely amazing experience. Communication was super quick and easy, and they were very clear about the options available for how small or large of a band we wanted on our wedding day. We opted for Chance and a 10+ piece for the reception, and a smaller group for the ceremony. They were absolutely the best band I've ever experienced at a wedding - from the emotional songs during the ceremony to the high-energy conclusion for the reception, every song hit the spot. They learned the song we wanted for our first dance, and it was magical. The energy was perfect all night. Some of the older guests came up to us the next morning and told us the music and dancing made them feel like they were in their 20s again! If incredible live music is important to you for your special day, I can't more highly recommend Ben Mallare Entertainment. Thanks for making our wedding night so magical!

Ben Mallare and their team were excellent from start to finish throughout the wedding process. They communicated quickly and efficiently and most importantly they were excellent on the big day. They kept that party going and picked excellent songs. I would recommend them to any couple looking for a great band!

“WHERE did you find this band?!”, “this is by far the best wedding band I’ve ever heard”, and “this band is so fun!” are a few of the many quotes we heard throughout our wedding night and the days since. The entire time, we were (and still are) so proud to share the Ben Mallare name and are so thrilled we could share our day with the All-Stars Band feat. Chance. Our wedding reception and the dance floor was really a highlight of our entire wedding weekend, and the band was world-class. We could go on and on about how much fun the dance floor was, how engaging the band was with weddinggoers, how great the music was, etc., but you should take all of that as an absolute given. Ben Mallare’s All Stars Band brings together truly talented, hard working and fun musicians, the perfect recipe for success. The rest of our review will go more into how easy and reliable the Ben Mallare team was to work with - really one of the most important parts for couples and planners to pull off a big and complex production with little stress. We came across Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment by pure luck and chance early in 2021 after our engagement. We knew music was going to be a very important part of our wedding weekend and we wanted the absolute best of the best. We searched up and down the entire west of Canada and the west coast of the U.S. for the most impressive wedding band we could find, and landed on Ben Mallare. We got to know Ben and his team as part of the onboarding / planning process, and have only the nicest things to say. Our wedding was in Banff, Alberta, Canada and we had a feeling the location could be a bit of a challenge for any band - but nope(!). The Ben Mallare team took care of everything, from travel, to lodging, to equipment, to sound, to production. For us, bringing in Ben Mallare and the All-Stars Band feat. Chance was literally as easy as going with a local band. We were so impressed with their execution and ease, and we had literally zero stress throughout the entire process. In addition to travel, the Ben Mallare team worked very well with our planner and producer, Lynn Fletcher Weddings. We had a very complex schedule, from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception with many minute-by-minute details worked out in advance. Everyone worked together so well, it was a very impressive sight to behold watching the symphony of vendors come together to pull off a magical weekend at the Banff Springs Hotel. The Ben Mallare team was a huge part of our weekend and contributed immensely to its success and our enjoyment (a personal THANK YOU to each and every one of the musicians and techs who came up, we loved having you(!)). We can’t wait to look back at our wedding photos, videos and think about all the happy memories we had on our wedding weekend. We will always smile and chuckle at the huge coup we all pulled off (with Ben Mallare’s help, of course) having such an incredible band come up to party with us at the Banff Springs Hotel. We also know that many of our guests will have that same memory, and we have only the highest recommendation for everything Ben Mallare.

I was so glad we found Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment - not only because of the talented musicians but throughout the entire planning process the team was always responsive, helpful and willing to adjust plans / terms as needed to accommodate our requests. Ben Mallare's All-Stars helped make our wedding one for the books! Post-Wedding everyone kept remarking just how amazing the band was!

Holy cow… AMAZING! We had a packed dance floor the whole night. They even took the time to learn couples first dance song, father daughter dance, and son and mother dance. Their energy is out of the ballpark. I would 10/10 recommend them for anything!!

Ben & team's performance was so far beyond anything we could have imagined! So many of our family members and friends who rarely dance at weddings could not resist joining the party on the dance floor (there was even a mid-dinner dance party because the music was so good and guests couldn't wait until dancing officially begun!!). The energy the band brought to the event made the night *SO* unforgettable, and I get chills thinking about our entrance. In the 2 days since our wedding, we have gotten nonstop compliments about how incredible the band was. On a practical note, we are particularly grateful for the band's responsiveness and flexibility. Due to COVID 19, and then California wildfires, we postponed our wedding 3x and changed venues; Ben and his team were enthusiastic in meeting these new circumstances. His professionalism put us at ease and we particularly appreciated his willingness to learn a few songs that were special to us (and bring in a vocalist fluent in Spanish for my husband and his mother's first dance).

Ben Mallare sang at my brother’s wedding, so of course, my husband and I had to use them at our wedding. From start to finish, they were amazing! We worked closely with Andy throughout the planning process, and he was extremely responsive and detailed. Additionally, we had to deal with quite a few Covid road blocks, but the band was extremely flexible and understanding. When our wedding came, they did an incredible job of truly making the evening amazing. We couldn’t have asked for more, and our guests agreed as well. We would highly recommend them, and plan to use them again if a big event rolls around!

Ben Mallare Entertainment (BME) exceeded all expectations and performed beyond our wildest dreams! BME played at our wedding in St. Michaels, MD in April 2021 and was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. It was the number one compliment from our guests – everyone LOVED them! We got an 8-piece band and were blown away by the quality of the performance. Both Ben and Samantha ROCKED it as lead vocalists! Ben Mallare has a gift for leading all the guests into creating a fun party atmosphere and kept everyone dancing and engaged all night long. We were a thrice-rescheduled COVID wedding and Ben and his planning team were engaged, supportive and sympathetic every step of the way. They are a well-oiled machine in terms of communication, logistics and noticing the small details. If you’re looking for the best of the best, a show-stopping band and a night to remember – book Ben Mallare Entertainment!

Planning a destination wedding is challenging...especially when the first time around had to be rescheduled b/c of Covid. And although we were familiar with all the great bands where we live, we could only go off of online reviews when looking for a band in California. So even though reviews were all amazing, and the website is amazing, we were so nervous still b/c a band can make or break a party. To say we were beyond impressed would be an understatement. From the instrumentals for the ceremony, to the dinner music, then on to the "main" event of dancing, EVERYTHING was so perfect. There was not one thing I would have had them do differently. And they were seamless in their setup, etc. All of our crowd loved the band so much and couldn't stop talking about them and asking who they were! This band had everyone on the floor dancing and each song was so perfect! If you have questions about a band, look no further. The communication was brilliant, consistent and timely. There isn't anything they did that wasn't total perfection. They were the highlight of the wedding. Thank you Ben Mallare and team!!!

Ben Mallare's All-Stars helped make our wedding one to never forget! We were dead set on having a band rather than a DJ, and they exceeded our expectations. After listening to every wedding band in the area, we landed on Ben Mallare's All-Stars. We chose a live duo for the ceremony, and an 8-piece band for the reception. We got SO many compliments and many people said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard - shout out to Becky and Gabriel for the killer vocals! Not to be overlooked, Andy and team were excellent in the planning and communication leading up to the day (over the course of two years no less). We felt very confident that the whole crew knew exactly where to be, which songs we really wanted to hear, and how to keep the party going! Have no doubt when booking Ben Mallare that you are setting yourself up for a fun and memorable event.

EASIEST DECISION EVER!! When booking our vendors, the band was the most important to us. We did so much research before booking Ben Mallare. We must have listened to every video of the band and all the different options they offer and we were sold right away! They offer so many different packages so it was super easy to customize to fit within our budget. Communication was a breeze with them! Every question I had they were quick to respond and I was able to customize the proposal as we went. We booked the Signature band with male+female vocals and they were PERFECT! Day of they were so professional and most importantly of all, they were FUN!! My family was dancing all night and my family is not a dancing family so this was huge. The band was engaging and kept the energy going all night! To this day, my friends and family are still raving about them! Everyone had such an amazing time and I can't thank Ben Mallare and his team enough for making our wedding day the best day ever! I will continue to refer them to anyone that is interested in having a live band for their wedding or any party!!

We are beyond happy we could get the Ben Mallare to entertain our wedding. Besides their outstanding performance, I loved that they replied promptly to all my inquiries and made all my requests come true. I had two songs for the first dance because we had an interracial wedding, and we wanted both of our cultures to be represented, and the engineering team made it a seeming transition. They arrived and set up early. I never heard a high pitch sound or microphone out tone during the entire wedding. Initially, I only hired them for the wedding reception. Still, as the event date got closer, I added the ceremony music and then even included jazz for the cocktail hour, and it was the best decision ever. When my husband walked down the aisle, he had to make a double-take to confirm the band was playing his song because he thought it was a recording, but it was Shay singing! My advice for any future bride or person that needs entertainment at their event is to make room in their budget to hire this incredible band. Flowers die quickly, and no one notices chargers, fancy table cloths, napkins, glasses, utensils, or any of that “fluff.” But everyone remembers a good time. Our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had been to and for weeks kept telling us we did a fantastic job choosing the band. It has been over a month, and I still find myself jumping with happiness while watching the videos and reliving dancing the entire night. Everyone, including my 7 and 8 months pregnant guests, were on the floor all night! Thank you so much, Chance and Shay our amazing vocalists, and the entire band. Also, Andy for all your help and quick replies.

The most amazing wedding band! Thank you to Ben and the incredible band, for providing the best entertainment! We first heard the band at a friend’s wedding in California, and we knew we needed to have them. We had such a great experience booking for our wedding day. They were not only flexible and accommodating, but they even traveled to Arizona for our big day. Every person involved was responsive and easy to work with. They were helpful and understanding as we had to keep rescheduling our wedding due to COVID. I cannot imagine how hard it must have been for them in this industry, and yet they continued to make us feel like our wedding was the most important day for them each time we rescheduled. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we were late getting them song choices, and they still made it all happen for us! I’m forever grateful. The band was one of the most important things to us and our family, and they did not disappoint. They were engaging with the crowd and never let there be an empty dancefloor! The way they read the room and chose songs to fit our crew was incredible. We had the best time with them and couldn’t have imagined anything better! Our friends and family are still taking how about great Ben Mallare’s band is. I am forever grateful for you guys!

The Ben Mallare Band was absolutely amazing at our Wedding in August. They literally made the event a blast for everyone. The amount of guests that told us how amazing they were was off the charts. My wife and I highly recommend.

The band put on an incredible performance and were extremely professional. Our guests couldn't stop talking about them. Absolute blast! End your band search here.

Ben Mallare and his band helped make our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding an event to remember! Not only were they the hit of the party, but they hung in with us through four pandemic postponements! We got rave reviews about their fun and energetic performance. Highly recommend!

Fantastic. What a great time! Lovely musicianship and professionalism, from the planning to the night of. We couldn't have had a better time with Ben Mallare Band. Highly recommend using Ben Mallare, whether the party is big or small they are the best bet around. Thanks so much for a great night and easy planning. Can't thank you enough.

We hired The Ben Mallare Band | Complete All-Stars package for our Napa wedding. They were simply amazing; from the moment I contacted the band for information to the last song of our wedding celebration, they exceed all expectations. Our guests were in their 40s and 50s so picking music that everyone can relate to is the crucial part of our wedding planning, so we were nervous, but the Ben Mallare Band assure that everything will be great. Indeed it was, the Ben Mallare Band delivered an incredible performance and our guests were in awe as they danced the night away. The selection of songs were perfect, we ended the night with our hearts full of joy, smiling from cheek to cheek, and partied like teenagers, we knew we experienced full contentment. Thank you!!

If you want an amazing band at your wedding, look no further! We could not have imagined a better band at our wedding, our guests never left the dance floor and continue to compliment us on how amazing our band was! We hired the All-Stars which provided such a versatile arrangement of instruments and vocals. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!

There's no other way to put it: this band rocks. They're unbelievably talented, amiable and adaptable. We had countless guests come up to us just to compliment Ben & the band. They really made our wedding. We couldn't recommend them more.

The Ben Mallare Band and Andy were extremely accommodating in all of our requests for the evening. They were super helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly on the day of our wedding and played unbelievable music that had everyone dancing until the venue had to shut it down. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a fantastic band.

Look no further! Having the Ben Mallare Band really made our night special. Symeon was our main contact and he was so professional and communicative with us and our planner. He worked with our planner in rescheduling our wedding due to Covid, and we were so glad to keep them as our band. You won't have any regrets with Ben Mallare Band.

I would give Ben Mallare the highest possible recommendation for event entertainment. They are lovely to work with. And the night of the event they were on time, efficient in setting up and beyond talented! From the time they started performing the dance floor was packed. They can play just about anything which appealed to young and old at our wedding. I definitely plan to use them again in the future!

The band were an absolute pleasure to deal with when planning our wedding. The videos speak for themselves - an amazingly talented band.

If you are planning for your wedding when the world is no longer upside down and are considering Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment, I promise you, booking Ben’s team will be the best decision you make! We know so many couples (including our closest friends and family members) have had to postpone or rethink their special days. It has been over a year since our wedding and with so much change and uncertainty in 2020, my husband and I have been doing a lot of reflecting. Over a year later, not one person can recall the food we served or the flowers on the table, but people still mention our wedding band and rave about the dance party! People being tossed in the air, the floor rolling with movement (thought it was going to break!) and people of ALL ages dancing the night away! I was lucky enough to attend a family friend’s wedding in Seattle with my parents where Andy and Jessa headlined. We were blown away by their talent and professionalism and it was the ONLY request my Dad had during the entire wedding planning process - book the same band! From the moment people sat down for dinner, they were dancing in their seats! Toft was extremely patient and accommodating with people making song requests. And Andy and Jessa knocked it out of the park with each song performed. If we had to do the whole thing over, Ben’s team would still be the first vendor we book!

Ben Mallare’s band performed at my wedding in June for the ceremony and reception. All my guests were impressed. My wife’s boss wants to book them for a future corporate event. Talented musicians. Charismatic. Fun. Production quality performance that adapts to the situation…makes your first dance look like a TV show level production with spot on timing and transitions. You take a bow and they end the song and transition to next. Great MC. Great coordination. They were able to accommodate a unique venue layout for the stage no problem. Hand in glove process. BOOK BEN MALLARE!!

Ben Mallare and his talented group was a HUGE hit at our wedding. They got everyone dancing the entire time. Guests are still raving about it over a month after our wedding. They played music that was good for all ages too. Ben was super easy to work with leading up to the wedding too. He responded to all inquires very quickly, which is so helpful when planning a wedding. I would hire them again in a heart beat!

Where to even begin! From start to finish Ben has been absolutely amazing and better than we could have ever imagined! When we got engaged one of the first things we knew we wanted for our wedding was a fun band that brings the energy and gets everyone dancing and having a great time. When we were researching bands and saw Ben’s video we knew instantly they were the band for us. Ben was extremely quick in all of his correspondence and was so nice in making sure he was customizing everything to make it the experience we wanted. Knowing they were the band for us, they were our first booking and we were so beyond excited that they were available for our special day! For our cocktail hour we had beautiful acoustic music and then for the reception we had Ben Mallare Signature Plus Horns. Not only are they an amazing band but Ben was an awesome emcee. One of my favorite moments from the day and what stands out everytime I think of our wedding was his announcements of the wedding party getting introduced and then him introducing us! Ben then sang our first dance song perfectly and learned a new song for the Father Daughter dance that was beyond amazing and meant so much to me and my Dad. It made our day so special! It may sound over the top, but I am 100% serious when I say the Ben and Band truly made our wedding. I had a smile on my face the whole time because they made it such a fun time, were amazing performers, and truly cared about making our day so special. Ben knows how to read the crowd and there was never a dull moment with our guest on the dance floor- it was always packed! Every guest I talked to at our reception was raving about how great they were and that they were the best they have ever seen- and I could not agree more! They made our reception everything we could have asked for and I would say the best decision we made for our wedding was having Ben and Band! I wish I could do it all over again just to relive the night- I can easily say I have never had more fun or danced more! Ben, thank you so much for making our wedding the best day we could have ever imagined!!! I will never forget closing out the night dancing to Shout!

We booked Ben Mallare’s All Star Band for our wedding and we cannot say enough good things! When we were looking around at different bands the first thing that made us choose Ben Mallare was his responsiveness! He was so easy to communicate with and always offered his honest opinion to help us decide what size band we needed etc. Throughout the whole process his team was great even through some base access issues due to the wedding being held on a naval base. They were amazing the day of the wedding! We wanted both a band and a DJ and they seemlessly transitioned and read the crowd to play songs that everyone wanted to dance to. As the bride I never had to worry about the band or DJ the whole night they just kept playing one great song after the next. Would highly recommend the Ben Mallare Band!!

We hired the Ben Mallare All-Stars Band and they were AMAZING!!! Being a wedding coordinator myself I know how important the music and entertainment is - this is what will make a great wedding an unbelievable one which was exactly what ours was and so much so because of the talent, energy and passion of the band! Our guests are still talking about "the best band ever" and my husband and I unable to sleep as we are just buzzing over here on Cloud 9! Additionally, they were so friendly, responsive and on top of it leading up to the wedding (something also VERY important!) You will not have a single regret booking them and they are 1,000% worth the investment for what will soon be the best and most memorable day of your life!

The Ben Mallare band was just amazing! They were so easy to work with! We had to make some requests for our unique situation and they were willing to do whatever it took to make our day just as we envisioned. The music was fabulous! We received tons of compliments about how amazing the band was! They felt the vibe of our party and kept the dance floor crowded all night long! Their professionalism and musical talents are both top notch!

Ben Mallare band is the ultimate BEST! They made our wedding SO MUCH FUN!!! They're all so talented and pick fun songs for all ages to enjoy....all of our guest were on the dance floor! They're easy to work with and respond back within minutes. I can't say enough good things about them!!!

Ben Mallare absolutely ROCKED at our daughter's wedding in Malibu! They were WONDERFUL to work with and accommodated every one of our requests from learning the father/daughter dance to providing the prelude, processional and recessional music! They kept everyone on the dance floor the entire evening! I can't say enough about Symeon Tzvetkov, the executive coordinator! He was incredibly professional and coordinated every detail perfectly! We had so many wedding guests remark on our AMAZING BAND! I highly recommend them and hope to use them again one day!

The Ben Mallare Band is truly amazing and worth every penny!!! We had our wedding in Maui, and The Ben Mallare Band was by far the best decision I made for our entire wedding! I had seen their YouTube clips and knew I had to have specifically Ben sing at our wedding. His voice is amazing and the perfect pitch for any song. I also had two other female vocalists, a guitar, bass, and percussion. We requested a song by the Avett Brothers for our first dance, as well as a slow Taylor Swift song, and both were amazing!! The band judged the crowd perfectly and picked the perfect songs to play throughout the night that I couldn’t have picked better myself! Every time someone I know gets engaged I can’t refrain from calling them to tell them they have to have the Ben Mallare Band at their wedding because it will be the best decision they have ever made! I can’t wait until the day I get to hear them play again!

The Ben Mallare band MADE our New Years Eve wedding! They were so easy to communicate with and helped us create the wedding of our dreams. The performers were BEYOND talented and all of our guests are still raving about how much fun they had dancing the night away. We hired the Ben Mallare band to play music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They learned a handful of unique songs we wanted to incorporate throughout the evening (one being "You Will be Found" by Dear Evan Hansen) and they absolutely nailed it! Their prices are incredibly fair for the insane talent they bring. I'd look no further and book them ASAP :)

We were thrilled to have hired Ben Mallare & Band for our wedding in October and couldn’t have been happier with their performance and professionalism. From the outset Ben and his coordinators were very responsive to any questions we had leading up to the day of. We asked for some last minute changes to song selections and they were more than happy to accommodate and played them perfectly. Their energy the entire night and ability to read the crowd was fantastic and kept people on the floor the entire time they were playing. We also used Ben as an MC which made for a seamless transition during the speeches and breaks. We received so many comments on how impressive their song selection range was and how lively they kept everything. When we saw family and friends over the holiday’s people were still commenting on how amazing the band was. Do yourself a favor and don’t overthink it – book Ben and his talented team for your special day!

When I first set out to find a band for our wedding, I was extremely overwhelmed. There were so many choices, each band had a different vibe, the quotes ranged significantly, and I was worried that in the end, I would be disappointed with my choice. I visited a few of the main wedding planning websites and started looking at their reviews when I came across the Ben Mallare Band. I LOVED their promotional material. It was current, exciting, the vocals and band were impressive but most importantly…everyone looked like they were having a blast (both band and wedding guests)! I reached out to Ben Mallare and heard back within a couple hours (which wasn’t my experience with multiple other bands I reached out to who never got back to me). I could tell he was a pro and he immediately made me feel at ease. My gut said I wouldn’t be disappointed, and my gut couldn’t have been more on point. Ben and his team made the entire process absolutely painless. He catered to special requests, always responded to my emails and calls in a timely manner and was just extremely pleasant to work with overall. Not to mention, I had ZERO wedding planning experience and he helped guide me regarding the timeline, song choices for father/bride & mother/groom dances, things to stay away from, etc. Our wedding day was even more perfect than I ever could have imagined due to the Ben Mallare Band…from the 4-piece jazz ensemble during the cocktail hour to the 16-piece band for the reception. They played a great mix of current hits, dance/pop, some throw backs and of course…those classic wedding songs everyone pretends to hate but secretly loves! Everything from their wardrobe to energy to various vocal styles was perfect. To this day, our friends and families still tell us how impressed they were with the band and that it was the best part of the wedding. I can’t remember a single second when the floor was not packed with people dancing. In a nutshell, you can’t go wrong with this band. Look no further and scratch that part off your wedding to-do list. You will not be disappointed!

The Ben Mallare Entertainment group was just excellent for all our wedding ceremony sound and reception entertainment needs! Ben’s group is very professional and responsive through the planning process. They provided us with exactly what we needed for the ceremony including speakers, a microphone stand, and handheld and lapel microphones. During the reception, we specifically had the All-Stars group with Rebecca and Gabriel as our lead singers. Because we planned our wedding from the East Coast, we needed to make our wedding band decision based on the Ben’s provided video examples. We were already confident that this group would be awesome from the videos, but on the day of, they well exceeded our expectations. They played such a great selection of background music during the dinner, did a fantastic job MC-ing, and absolutely killed the dancing part of the evening! Many of our guests (and of all ages) came up to us during the reception saying this wedding band was one of the best they had seen/heard. Our guests were extremely impressed by the wide repertoire of songs and music styles they could play. Further, our guests were having so much fun dancing they boo-d the early shuttle back to the hotel which is just a testament to how this group knows how to get your wedding guests wanting to dance and celebrate all night.

We couldn’t be happier with the Ben Mallare Band. All the important things you stress about were a breeze - they were on time, professional, full of energy and made our day something to remember. Our guests are still talking about how fun the band was! The dance floor was never empty and everyone was bummed when we had to kill the music. Both the live band and DJ were phenomenal and all-around talented musicians. They know how to blend throwbacks, classics and new-hits together so everyone can enjoy the dance floor. Also, our wedding brought together two different cultures, and they made the entire day feel seamless and authentic (plus, they were great about welcoming all our customs, games, etc.) It was all so much fun and they played a huge part in setting the mood - we just wish the music kept going and we had more time with these guys. Recommend to everyone!

Ben Mallare Band was the best hire of our wedding night hands down. Symeon was our coordinator and Stefan was our Emcee and they were both awesome! We were nervous to have our first dance/father-daughter/mother-son dances to live performances, but they absolutely killed it! The covers of the songs we chose were done beautifully and flawlessly. Our guests were out on the dance floor all night long, and so were we!! We’ve been asked repeatedly for the band’s info and got so many comments about how great they were and how fun they made our big night. We can’t put into words how awesome they were, all we can say is, if you want to actually have fun at your wedding...book them!! You will not regret it.

The Ben Mallare Band was THE best investment we made in our wedding day!! The atmosphere a live band brings to an event is second to none, and then you add the talent of the Ben Mallare Band and you’ve got the best night of your lives!! We were beyond impressed with their covers of the songs we requested for our first dance, father-daughter, and mother-son dances, they were done beautifully and flawlessly. They kept our guests on the dance floor ALL night and we got asked over and over again for their contact info. Honestly, I wish we could get married again and hire them a second time, it was that fun!! Do yourself a favor and stop looking for anyone else and book these amazing talented musicians, it’ll be the best investment you make in your wedding day.

The absolute best band for your wedding, our guests couldn't have had more fun. Ben and team made all of the planning extremely easy, and even accommodated us having live guitarists for the ceremony, full band for the reception, and even a dj for the late night. We had multiple people ask us for the band's contact info during the wedding, as people were absolutely impressed with the performance. Everything was perfect - the instruments, the singing, the constant dancing atmosphere. People couldn't pull themselves away from the dance floor. We can't say enough good things about this entire team.

This band was--hands down--one of the best parts of our wedding! The quality of the music was exceptional and even my husband--who is a musician himself--had only good things to say. If you want a band that can pretty much perform anything, go with them! We had Stefan and Samantha perform at our wedding and couldn't have been happier. Music aside, this group goes out of the way to make your day special and stress-free. They were so professional and communicative as we tried to figure out the location logistics. They learned our favorite song and performed for our first dance, which is such a special memory. Another favorite memory was the last dance song. From the speeches, they must have figured out that we met in Boston. They surprised us and finished the night with "Sweet Caroline." Our guests went absolutely crazy and the guest videos of everyone dancing to that song are some of the best mementos from that night. Thank you to everyone we worked with! You guys rock.

Ben Mallare was a pleasure to work with, as he was super responsible to emails and made us feel as though we were in good hands! We were fortunate enough to have Chantry and his band play at our wedding reception. Talk about INCREDIBLE! They know how to get the party started and keep it going all night! Everyone raved about how AMAZING they were and we could not agree more! We highly recommend them :)

Ben and his team were absolutely amazing! They were a huge help throughout the whole planning process. We had multiple locations for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception and they were willing to help with everything! On the actual day of the event they exceeded all our expectations. For cocktail hour they did an acoustic set with part of their band, for dinner they did a classic set, and then for the reception they absolutely killed it with a wide variety of music for everyone!! It was so great to have an endless variety of music. Throughout the WHOLE night and after the wedding everyone complemented us on how amazing the band was and one of the best bands they have experienced at a wedding. I cannot recommend Ben and his team more!!

Absolutely loved The Ben Mallare Band. They sounded amazing, our only disappointment was that it had to stop! I had booked them from just watching all of their videos and content on instagram. I am certain that all of their musicians and singers are incredibly talented! They will even learn a few songs for you that are not on their list. Highly recommend!

My husband & I can't speak more highly of Ben & his wonderful team. After attending a friend's wedding that had a band, we decided we absolutely NEEDED a band for our special day too! Ha :) When we started searching for a band in the California area, we had no idea what to do or what we were looking for. Long story short -- We stumbled upon Ben Mallare & we couldn't be more grateful. From start to finish, the whole team has been a dream to work with. On our wedding day, we wanted acoustic / live music during our ceremony & cocktail hour; every song that was played & sang was beautiful. Then, it was party time! During the reception, family & friends were dancing the WHOLE time & couldn't stop talking about how awesome the live music was. Both of us LOVE to dance & have a good time -- Choosing Ben Mallare and his band was one of the best decisions we made, hands down. Screaming a special shout out to Andy Inglat, who was our lead band member!!! THANK YOU all so much, from the bottom of our hearts! B & L.

We hired Ben Mallare Signature Band plus horns for our wedding in July and we couldn't be happier! I cannot tell you how many guests came up to us to tell us how amazing our band was. Ben kept everyone dancing all night with back to back hits ! We are still so blown away by the band's musicianship, professionalism, and overall performance - we hope someone we know hires him so we can see them perform again! In all honesty, Ben and his team were outstanding from start to finish. They nailed our first dance song that we asked them to learn, they handled all our questions leading up to the big day, and truly made our reception a night to remember. Thank you Ben and the band!!

Ben Mallare’s band performed at my wedding in June for the ceremony and reception. All my guests were impressed. My wife’s boss wants to book them for a future corporate event. Talented musicians. Charismatic. Fun. Production quality performance that adapts to the situation…makes your first dance look like a TV show level production with spot on timing and transitions. You take a bow and they end the song and transition to next. Great MC. Great coordination. They were able to accommodate a unique venue layout for the stage no problem. Hand in glove process. BOOK BEN MALLARE!!

Ben Mallare and his LA team were amazing for our wedding at Bel Air Bay Club. Even the venue coordinator said (before the wedding) “I heard them during soundcheck and they were great!”. They got our guests dancing all night long and pumped up our guests. They sounded awesome, we’re reasonably priced, and super easy to work with in the planning process. Definitely recommend them :)

When my husband and I spoke about what our non-negotiables were for our wedding a band was one of them. We had been to nearly 30 weddings together before our own and loved the energy a great band brought to the party. We were so thankful that our planner for Ben Mallare for us, because they were a hidden gem. They learned new songs that we had wanted for the ceremony and for first dances. We danced the entire evening including the time they spent packing up their equipment at the end of the night! They read the crowd and kept people on the dance floor during the reception, which is exactly what we wanted. The next day at our farewell brunch and even to this day we have friends and family comment on how amazing the band was and all we can say is, “Yeah, we know. They were the best.”

The Ben Mallare band is amazing!! They made our night so special, from the acoustic guitar at the ceremony, to the cocktail hour acoustics and the full band playing all night at the reception- they nailed it. Everyone was on the floor dancing having a great time and the band kept the energy up the whole night. We are so over the moon happy having the Ben Mallare Band at our wedding. It was magic.

Ben Mallare and his talented group was a HUGE hit at our wedding. They got everyone dancing the entire time. Guests are still raving about it over a month after our wedding. They played music that was good for all ages too. Ben was super easy to work with leading up to the wedding too. He responded to all inquires very quickly, which is so helpful when planning a wedding. I would hire them again in a heart beat!

Our wedding was over 6 months ago and we still have family and friends raving about our band! The Ben Mallare band totally lived up to and exceeded our expectations. They knew just the right songs to play and when, were very professional, and tons of fun! I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting all their guests on the dance floor all night! Thank you thank you thank you to the Ben Mallare Band!

Wow what a time we had with Stefan and his band! We went with the 9 piece band for our wedding and boy do they put on a show! They keep the crowd engaged and dancing all night! We had the wedding of our dreams and we're so happy to have chosen them! From their stage set up, to their outfits, dancing, SINGING, etc, they were PERFECT. Not to mention that booking them was a breeze, we were in contact with Ben throughout the whole process and he was so easy to communicate with and fast to reply! We would choose them over and over again and would recommend to all! :) THANK YOU!

BEST BAND HANDS DOWN!! We had Ben +10 becuase we wanted ALL the horns for the reception and they did not disappoint! Not only did the reception blow the mind of all the guests- it was truly a show, the ceremony was what really put it over the edge for me. They also included for us 3 musicians to do a live acoustic set for our ceremony which allowed for the most magical walk down the isle. Every one of our guests was up dancing the entire night and were asking us how we found the band. I already have had another guest of mine book them for their wedding in September!

Where to even begin! From start to finish Ben has been absolutely amazing and better than we could have ever imagined! When we got engaged one of the first things we knew we wanted for our wedding was a fun band that brings the energy and gets everyone dancing and having a great time. When we were researching bands and saw Ben’s video we knew instantly they were the band for us. Ben was extremely quick in all of his correspondence and was so nice in making sure he was customizing everything to make it the experience we wanted. Knowing they were the band for us, they were our first booking and we were so beyond excited that they were available for our special day! For our cocktail hour we had beautiful acoustic music and then for the reception we had Ben Mallare Signature Plus Horns. Not only are they an amazing band but Ben was an awesome emcee. One of my favorite moments from the day and what stands out everytime I think of our wedding was his announcements of the wedding party getting introduced and then him introducing us! Ben then sang our first dance song perfectly and learned a new song for the Father Daughter dance that was beyond amazing and meant so much to me and my Dad. It made our day so special! It may sound over the top, but I am 100% serious when I say the Ben and Band truly made our wedding. I had a smile on my face the whole time because they made it such a fun time, were amazing performers, and truly cared about making our day so special. Ben knows how to read the crowd and there was never a dull moment with our guest on the dance floor- it was always packed! Every guest I talked to at our reception was raving about how great they were and that they were the best they have ever seen- and I could not agree more! They made our reception everything we could have asked for and I would say the best decision we made for our wedding was having Ben and Band! I wish I could do it all over again just to relive the night- I can easily say I have never had more fun or danced more! Ben, thank you so much for making our wedding the best day we could have ever imagined!!! I will never forget closing out the night dancing to Shout!

We booked Ben Mallare’s All Star Band for our wedding and we cannot say enough good things! When we were looking around at different bands the first thing that made us choose Ben Mallare was his responsiveness! He was so easy to communicate with and always offered his honest opinion to help us decide what size band we needed etc. Throughout the whole process his team was great even through some base access issues due to the wedding being held on a naval base.

As the bride I never had to worry about the band or DJ the whole night they just kept playing one great song after the next. Would highly recommend the Ben Mallare Band!!

This was absolutely the most fun we have ever had dancing to live music and it was our own wedding reception! A month later our guests are still talking about the band and asking how to find them for their own events. Even the venue personnel were taking note as they said they had not seen a reception band as great as this, ever. In addition to being an incredibly talented performer, Ben is the consummate professional. He was super responsive from initial contact, a pleasure to talk to and most importantly captured every detail we requested for our event. Andy Inglat was our lead vocalist and we cannot stop raving about him! He lead the most amazing band all evening including stellar lead guitar/vocals, bass, female vocals, drums, keys, horn that we had requested. His diverse vocals covered such a wide range of songs and sounds so perfectly, it blew us all away. Initially the band played a background vibe during our cocktail hour, then absolutely outstanding music during our dinner service and ultimately rocked it for the high energy dance hours. Andy knew exactly how to read the crowd and the situations for perfect song selection from their seemingly endless list of options. He was super appealing on stage and together with the other musicians who were all incredibly talented, they brought so much energy to their performance that it was contagious! They even offered to learn and then played our unique first dance song to perfection making it one of the most memorable moments of the evening. We booked Ben's band relying on so many others' 5 star reviews and couldn't wait to add ours to help others with this key decision. Our recommendation - don’t waste your valuable time agonizing over other band options or hesitate until someone else books your event date with Ben and you miss out. Just do it and then you'll be guaranteed to enjoy every moment of your event!!

When planning a destination wedding, it becomes difficult to make decisions about everything, since you are not there to see, listen, feel, taste and touch many of the options available to you. When we hired Ben and his band for my daughter's wedding in Maui, it was not any different, we didn't hear them live, we didn't see them perform, we went by the vibe and the connection we had from their online videos and read a large number of the positive reviews they had in various sites. We had searched for months, got many recommendations, reviewed many online videos and eventually decided on Ben Mallare Band. Once we signed our agreement, everything went through so very smoothly. Unbelievable responsiveness and flexibility from Ben to accommodate our requests, so far we were feeling good about having made the right decision. But we still had not seen them live, so the jury was still out! Then came 8/10/2018, the day of the wedding, our guests gathered from New York, Los Angeles, DC, Connecticut, New Zealand, Australia, UK, just to name a few, at Andaz Maui in Wailea and when the band started to play, they just blew us away. They sounded so so so very amazing, sooooo much better than the videos we had reviewed. Ben's voice has an incredible range and the entire band is so well coordinated. Song after song after song, all sounded phenomenal. They nailed every single song, even those they had to learn at our request. Our guests, one after another, kept asking us about the band, where did we find them, how did we find them, who recommended them? Even the event manager at Andaz, who has witnessed many, many weddings, mentioned several times how amazing the band was. They are a sensational band and would recommend them over and over again and would hire them in a heartbeat when we plan another event. We had Ben + female vocal, guitar, base, keyboard, drums, sax and trumpet!

After countless search for a band for our event, I ended up booking Ben Mallare. I was not disappointed! They exceeded my expectations. Ben and his team were totally professional and they were quick to respond to my questions and needs. And on top of that, they were so nice!!! I booked the 10 piece band with the 4 vocalists, guitar, bass, drums, sax, trumpet, and trombone. They looked great and they sounded absolutely fantastic on stage. I can't recall how many folks complimented me about the band. They were an absolute hit!!! When I am back in Anaheim for an event, Ben Mallare is on top of my list to call!

The band is the one that can make or break your wedding night. They are the ones that provide the entertainment. Ben and his band will definitely keep your guests wanting more! Everyone raved about how good the band was and the dance floor was never empty. They were incredibly fun and so talented! Ben and the female singer were AMAZING. The musicians were also wonderful, and even the sound quality of their sound system was good! They make everything so easy for you. Their list of songs is endless and they sing them all WELL! We were so glad to have booked them for the wedding. I highly recommend them for yours!

We hired Stefan Poole Band (with female vocalists and horns) for our wedding and they were amazing! During the planning stage, they responded to any of our questions quickly and helpfully, and were very flexible with our schedule. They learned the songs for the father/daughter and mother/son dances and played them excellently, then per our request they learned "Bye Bye Lil Sebastian" from Parks n Rec which closed out the night in awesome fashion. I'm still getting compliments about them weeks after the wedding, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band.

If you are reading this review and are debating whether to hire Ben Mallare or someone else, save yourself the time and hire them! Ben was wonderful to work with since Day 1. They were extremely flexible with our requests and accommodations, as last minute as they were. EVERYONE at our San Francisco wedding loved them, and they went above and beyond for what they were hired to do. They were fun, talented, professional, and definitely worth the affordable cost. There was NO stress involved with working with them, NO hidden costs, NO regrets or issues. Thank you Ben and Stefan for a wonderful night! Stefan especially was an amazingly talented MC, and wonderful performer. They put up with my mom's last minute and somewhat drunk request for her and my dad to sing/perform the last song of the night. The band not only allowed it, but was able to perform drums and backup guitar for a song that was not even in their set list! (It was Unchained Melody, and the band + my mom and dad knocked it out of the park!) Thank you again!

They are simply THE BEST! I can't imagine having had a better band!!!!! My whole family is still raving about them! Seriously, AMAZING! If you're reading this, BOOK THEM NOW!

Rehearsal Dinner, Vocals, Willing to Travel 5.0 I booked the Andy Inglat band for my summer wedding in San Diego. I had the pleasure of working with Ben Mallare during my wedding planning, that he ended up being my fave vendor to collaborate with. From the initial contact of requesting for a quote, he was very professional and he always responded to my emails right away. After seeing several video samples of his band and the sample sets listed on his website, I knew I had made the RIGHT DECISION! Ben is very tech-savvy and organized, and about a couple months before your BIG day, he'll send you a Google Word doc to input all your music preferences from the grand entrance, first dance, garter toss, bouquet toss, cake cutting, to "MC Notes" and the "Timetable" for the schedule of events. I wanted something classy, but energetic at the same time. And the Andy Inglat Band did just that! I had the "Small But Mighty" package, which consisted of 3 people: the lead singer, drummer, and base player. But honestly, it sounded like a 10-piece band! That's how incredible they were! Andy was the lead singer and did such an AMAZING job!!! Andy was very versatile, as I had instructed for the Standards to be played (Dean Martin, Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra) for the cocktail half-hour and luncheon part of the reception. During open dance, he easily transformed my reception into a dance party, where my dance floor seemed to always be packed, playing the top 40 (Maroon 5, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell) along with some 80's (Michael Jackson)! They do cater to their clients' preferences. They even learned 6 songs for us based on our input. The transition from one song to another was seamless. And I loved how Andy incorporated my name (the Bride) into the song, "Brown Eyed Girl," as that was an awesome surprise! Practically every guest came up to us saying how GREAT the band was and asked where did I find them. We would definitely hire them again in a heartbeat! It was THE BEST DECISION we made. It's no wonder why they've made the preferred vendors list for Ginger's Weddings...they earned it! :)

From the very first contact I had with Ben to seeing the whole crew off after their performance, this was a top-notch experience. I'm a musician myself and also an executive event planner for a major corporation and was looking to do something different for my team, who needed something a cut above a game-show night for our gala event at an annual conference. Tough year in the business, my group needed some good medicine and MUSIC is the very best- Ben and his band more than delivered! Each point of contact through planning was timely and detailed. Ben graciously coordinated with other event team members and the venue itself. Payment was easy, the music selections available blew my mind on range and the cherry on top was his band. These folks were on time, ridiculously professional, looked like rock stars and sounded even better than most do these days. Self-contained sound and light techs made it all flawless and efficient. I wondered if my attendees might grow bored with 3 hours of live music and this band not only played to the room but we had to drag our folks off the dance floor at the end of the night. A heck of a lot of bang for your buck for any type of event- there's no way another band of this type could rock your wedding or large scale event better...plus Ben will customize band and production size to your needs with a smile. Only one problem for me, my team is still talking about them...how do I top this for next year's event??

People may forget what they ate, who was there, what types of flowers you had, what the dress looked like, but they will NEVER forget how fun your wedding was (aka how good the music / band was). For this reason, and because they proved every bit of this at our wedding, the Ben Mallare Band is the best decision you can make for your wedding next to your venue choice. Don't waste time searching handfuls of bands...just book Ben and his team before someone else does for your wedding date.

Thank you so much to Ben Mallare & Entertainment for the incredible performance on our wedding day! The band couldn’t have been any better - they beat our wildest expectations and then some! Our families, wedding parties and guests have mentioned the band as the highlight of the reception! Andy and the band kept the crowd moving, and played the perfect balance of songs with a seamless transition. The highlight for us was that they learned the songs closest to our hearts. We will never forget that first dance! Not to mention...they flew from LA to Breckenridge, CO for our wedding and were so professional and easy to communicate with the whole time. We would recommend them a thousand times over to anyone looking for THE BEST wedding band.

My wife and I had our wedding in August 2018. Ben Mallare was worth every penny! We decided to go with the signature plus horns and it was everything we wanted and more. We had non-stop compliments from our guests on how perfect the band was. Highly Recommend!

Ben Mallare & band made our wedding more amazing than we could have ever imagined! The band created such a wonderful and fun energy for the entire night! Every song we requested was played to perfection and the dance floor was packed all night long! We used band members for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well and it was perfect. Every song we wanted was played and it made the special moments so memorable. Our guests are still raving about the band and how fun the wedding was! Ben was professional, polite and accommodating throughout the entire booking and planning process as well. We could not have asked for a better experience! I highly recommend Ben Mallare Band!

Ben Mallare was a pleasure to work with! Ben is attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best wedding possible. Evan's Band (part of the entertainment group) sounded amazing, were upbeat, and brought the fun to our wedding! They honored all our special requests for both the ceremony and the reception. Evan has a beautiful voice along with Jennifer and the other talented musicians. We would HIGHLY recommend them and have already had guests reach out to us for to book the band!
