An Unforgettable Night
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!Having a memorable band was the #1 priority for us when we set about planning our wedding.

The Vegas Wedding to Remember
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.

Our Dream Wedding Band
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!

Great band!!
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.The Ben Mallare band played at our wedding (both ceremony and reception) and we could not have been happier!

Best Band Ever!
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.Believe the hype, this is the best wedding band, ever.

Could not have made a better decision
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.Finding the right band for our wedding was probably the number one item on my wedding to do list.

The best!
We booked 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 booked Ben Mallare band for our reception and it was one of the best decisions!

Best Band!
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!We highly recommend Ben Mallare!

Outstanding Wedding Band!
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.We loved having the Ben Mallare Band at our wedding and would highly recommend them!

AMAZING! Truly, amazing.
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.Run, do not walk, to book Ben Mallare and the Complete All-Stars featuring Chance.

The Best Wedding Band of All Time
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 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.

Thanks Ben, Andy, Chance
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!My husband did a lot of research on wedding bands, and we are so glad to have found Ben Mallare Entertainment.

Incredible Wedding Band - Highly Recommend!
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.

Amazing band, great people!
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!The Ben Mallare band was absolutely incredible.

TERRIFIC band; They made our wedding super special
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.The Ben Mallare Band took our wedding to the next level.

10/10 Band! Would Book Again!
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.We booked the Ben Mallare Band for our wedding. Holy Moly, they were absolutely amazing.

Incredible energy, amazing vibes!
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!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.

Simply the best in north america
“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.“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.

Perfection Personified
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!!!Planning a destination wedding is challenging...especially when the first time around had to be rescheduled b/c of Covid.

Oh what a night!!
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 & team's performance was so far beyond anything we could have imagined!

Best band ever!
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!!EASIEST DECISION EVER!!
