Live Music for Wine Country Weddings at Stanly Ranch – A Napa Valley Destination with Soul

Stanly Ranch

Nestled in the heart of Napa Valley wine country, Stanly Ranch is a modern retreat that blends vineyard charm with contemporary luxury. As part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, this coveted venue offers sweeping views, refined architecture, and a sense of calm that makes it ideal for high-end weddings and private events. Whether you’re planning a weekend celebration among the vines or an elegant soirée in one of the estate’s indoor spaces, Stanly Ranch delivers an experience that’s immersive, intimate, and deeply personal.

At Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment, we specialize in providing live music at Stanly Ranch that matches the venue’s quiet sophistication and elevated aesthetic. We’ve performed at Napa Valley’s top properties, and Stanly Ranch stands out as a place where every element — from the lighting to the landscape — deserves an equally thoughtful soundtrack. Our team works closely with planners and clients to craft live entertainment that reflects the beauty of the setting and the spirit of the celebration.

From string ensembles and acoustic duos for vineyard ceremonies, to jazz trios and full-scale dance bands for receptions at the Ranch House or Lavender Lawn, we tailor each performance to flow seamlessly with the event’s style and timeline. We understand how music enhances the natural pace of wine country events — and we pride ourselves on bringing both polish and personality to every set.

Our musicians are seasoned professionals who know how to elevate a space without overpowering it. That means subtle acoustic accompaniment during dinner, custom transitions between event phases, and energetic sets that get guests dancing when the time is right. And because Napa Valley events often involve multiple components — welcome parties, ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and after-parties — we provide cohesive entertainment across the entire weekend.

If you’re hosting your wedding or private event at Stanly Ranch and looking for a Napa Valley wedding band or live music tailored to this venue, Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment brings the sound and style your celebration deserves.

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.

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 entire wedding, we were (and still are) so proud to share the Ben Mallare name and are thrilled we could share our day with them. We could go on and on about how much fun the dance floor was, how engaging the band was with guests, how great the music was, etc., but you should take all of that as an absolute given. Ben Mallare’s band brings together truly talented, hard working and fun musicians. We knew music was going to be a very important part of our wedding weekend and we wanted the absolute best of the best, and we have only the highest recommendation for everything Ben Mallare.
