    Best wedding band ever!

    We booked Closing Time after seeing them play at our friends wedding last October. We just had our wedding this past weekend and people are still telling us how amazing the band was!!! They were so consultative and provided beautiful acoustic guitar for the ceremony + the best performance for the reception. Every single person was dancing and singing along!

    Best wedding band ever

    As soon as I got engaged, Closing Time was the first vendor I called! I saw them at a friend's wedding a few years prior, and knew I had to book them for my wedding. From the admin/communication leading up to the wedding to the dance floor vibes all night - everything was a 10/10. We even had engaged friends reach out after the wedding to get their information so they could book them for their own upcoming weddings. Highly, highly recommend booking Closing Time - you will not be disappointed!!!

    Amazing!

    This band was AMAZING. They were extremely professional and made the wedding planning process and the actual wedding day stress-free. They played such a great playlist and really got everyone wanting to dance on the dance floor. It was like we had a concert at our wedding. Would 100% recommend to anyone getting married and wanting a band.

    Amazing Wedding Band!!

    Closing Time Boston through Murray Hill Talent was our band and MC service for our August 2023 wedding. They are PHENOMENAL. Truly cannot describe how incredibly talented this band is. We have received so many compliments about how great of a band they were and how fun they made our reception. Ryan, the band leader, is amazing and so easy to work with. We had a call with him about two weeks before our wedding and reviewed overall what our likes and dislikes were for our setlist direction and I was amazed at how well they crafted it to meet what we wanted while still delivering happy surprises along the way. My parents' 35th anniversary is this year, so they even learned my parents' wedding song to surprise them half way through their first set at the reception. 10/10 recommend them - they will plan your entire ceremony, cocktail hour and entrances to a T, leaving you with full confidence, no stress, just enjoying your day. Thank you closing time for being such a special and memorable part of our wedding day!

    Run to book closing time boston!

    Incredible. Closing Time Boston is the absolute best band you can hire for your wedding. We started off by chatting with Paul, the contact through Murray Hill Talent. He was so helpful throughout the entire process. We filled out two simple planning sheets for the band and about a week or two beforehand, we spoke to the bandleader, Ryan. He was so kind and beyond helpful. He really made us feel comfortable. He was thorough and made sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it. We appreciated that he gave us such helpful advice during this conversation as well.

    I want to make it clear that we didn't even hear Closing Time Boston in person before the wedding! We just booked them based off of reviews, Youtube videos and Instagram. Of course, this was a little nerve wracking for us, not hearing the band play live beforehand. First moment of amazement came during the ceremony. The pianist played unique songs that we requested (a Blink 182 song, an Aerosmith song and an Avicii song). We were blown away by how amazing he was! The songs sounded absolutely beautiful. Next when we heard the singing that began during the cocktail hour and dinner, we instantly knew that we made the right choice. Lastly, the reception, the whole band really brought the party. They played the PERFECT music that got everyone dancing for the entire night, including my mom who typically picky with the music she dances to at weddings! We made sure to ask Ryan during our phone conversation to play all genres of music that will ensure all age groups will dance the night away. They truly made that vision come true. Every single band member was fun, energetic and absolutely amazing. They blew us away. People are still talking about how amazing Closing Time Boston was! We didn't want the party to end. They had fun solos, and made each song roll right into the next one. Their voices and the music were absolutely AMAZING. We are thrilled that we booked Closing Time Boston. They were perfect. Trust me, you will be absolutely thrilled booking Closing Time Boston. They were everything we imagined and more. They blew us away and truly left us speechless. Go book them now! Thank you Closing Time Boston! We can't wait to come watch you perform in Boston sometime soon!

    Closing Time Boston is epic.

    I thought Closing Time was great in their promo video, and they're even BETTER in person. Seriously. They're fun and energetic, total treat for the guests. The dance floor was electric all night long. We had an 150 person wedding, and I'd say there were over 100 people on the dance floor the WHOLE night. I had a million people ask about our band because they were so good. They have an amazing range. They can do classic songs, MoTown, 80s, 90s, 00s, you name it. We added two horn players. I feel so lucky to have had Ryan and his band at our wedding. He and Ken are so easy to work with... super accommodating and responsive. If they are available for your date, BOOK CLOSING TIME BOSTON!

    Hire Closing Time for a good time!

    Closing Time was the perfect wedding band! Planning and discussions were stress free and fun, we discussed timelines, names, introductions, ceremony music and most importantly reception music. The entire process was easy and Ryan really made it feel like they were there to make us have a good time. We used them for both our ceremony and reception and both went perfect. Their music, upbeat attitudes and range made sure everyone had a great time and our dancefloor was packed from start to finish. They even learned our first song! If you want to have fun at your wedding this is the right band for you!!

    Hire Closing Time for the Party of a Lifetime!

    Closing time was INCREDIBLE!! They were such a pleasure to work with and completely understood our music taste. It was impossible to leave the dance floor the entire night! Our guests have not stopped talking about how great the band was!

    Closing Time is THE BEST!!!

    Closing Time Boston was absolutely incredible for our July 2022 wedding in Poughkeepsie, NY. Our friends had Closing Time Boston at their wedding in September 2019 and once we got engaged and knew we wanted a band, we knew we had to reach out to Closing Time Boston. We loved them as a wedding guest and wanted the same experience for our wedding guests. Cory was super responsive in scheduling and coordinating our day, and the band leader Ryan was super professional and incredible to work with leading up to our big day. They happily made the trek from Boston to Hudson Valley and brought the energy and incredible music that kept our dance floor alive all night long. So many guests and workers at our venue came up to us and said they were one of the best wedding bands they had seen. We had an absolute blast with Closing Time Boston on our wedding day and would absolutely recommend booking them!!

    Where do I even begin..TLDR; BOOK CLOSING TIME BOSTON, YOU WON’T REGRET IT!! They were absolutely amazing and crushed our wedding. Every single guest commented on how awesome they were. They blew us away. Such a talented and fun group. They played a major part in making our wedding the best day ever! Their energy is contagious.

    Life of the party!

    To say the Closing Time band rocked our socks off would be the understatement of the century! My husband and I, along with all of our guests, were blown away by the band's sheer talent, energy, and ability to get everyone on their feet and excited for the next song. Ryan and the band worked with us from start to finish to plan an excelelnt performance, which included beautiful acoustic guitar during our cocktail hour, masterful MC'ing to kick off our dinner reception formalities, and an incredible full band performance that had us and all of our guests dancing all night. We had so much fun, and I cannot even begin to count how many compliments we have received since our wedding across the board. The band is so musically talented, has a knack for choosing just the right song for the moment, and just brought so much fun to the party. We strongly believe having Closing Time perform at our wedding was one of hte absolute best decisions we made, and really brought our wedding as a whole to the next level. They are worth their weight in gold - if you are thinking about Closing Time, you need to hire them! Like us, you will be so happy you did!

    Amazing!

    Closing Time is the perfect band for your wedding or event. They stepped in for us just months before our wedding after our original band cancelled and I am honestly glad they did because Closing Time absolutely ROCKED it! From the start they were professional and so easy to work with. They kept the night moving and everyone on the dance floor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

    A Must Have On Your Big Day

    Closing Time is a must have at your wedding!! When we started planning our big day having a band was at the top of our list. We are so glad we had Closing Time as our band for our wedding! They were absolutely amazing! Ryan was professional and great to work with leading up to the big day and the rest of the band members were great on the day as well!

    Over two months have past since our big day and our guests are still mentioning how great the band was!

    We had Ryan as the guitarist for cocktail hour which we got raving reviews from the guests on how great the music at cocktail hour was and then the full band for the reception! The dance floor was full the entire night! The set list was unreal and there was songs for all guests to enjoy!

    We want to have a party again just so we can have Closing Time back to preform, they are that good! If you are thinking of a band for your big day, look no further! Book Closing Time, you will not regret it!

    Highly Recommend!

    Closing Time (Boston) was one of the best parts of our wedding! Ryan was so easy to work with and he made every part of the planning process enjoyable. Talking to him before our wedding got us even more excited for our big day and the band surpassed our expectations by a long shot! From learning our first dance song, to keeping people out on the dance floor with our favorite classic wedding hits, Closing Time was a perfect match for us. I do not hesitate one bit in recommending them for your wedding.

    An incredible dance floor atmosphere!

    Closing Time (Boston) was absolutely incredible! One of the most enjoyable parts of our wedding day was the dance floor atmosphere they created. They were very involved in the wedding process, and used our song list preferences to create an evening full of lively dancing and celebration! They were such a fun group, and any couple would be so l lucky to work with them! The band checked in with us frequently and went over key details about our special day well ahead of time, which made my husband and I feel completely at ease and relaxed about our band choice. Closing Time was truly the best choice we could have made for music selection for our wedding. They were a highlight of our night for us and our guests!

    Working with Closing Time was amazing!! Ryan was very responsive and accommodating. We got SO many compliments on how good they were, and having both a male an female vocalist performing really gave it an extra something. Closing Time really made the party!!

    Top notch!

    Closing time did an amazing job!! Of all my vendors, the band was the easiest to work. Ryan was super responsive and helpful when I had questions ranging from Covid options and music choices. They have a very broad range of songs in their set list, and I even threw in a few not on their list and they accommodated my requests without any problem!

    Bands in general are more pricey than a DJ but you can't go wrong with closing time. They set up the perfect set list of classics jams, avoiding anything cheesy. We added an acoustic guitar for the ceremony processional and cocktail hour and I'm so glad we did. When it came time for the processional it was amazing to have someone there playing live music to help adjust the pace or extend a song when there were delays.

    Throughout all our planning, we were nervous about having a band with COVID precautions and they ended up really making the night fun and easy.

    Thank you closing time!!

    Extremely Happy with Closing Time!

    Closing Time deserve all the five star reviews they get. The dance floor was packed the entire night at our wedding, and the band played a great variety of songs. Guests of all ages enjoyed the party, but the set was still very current. Communication with the band leading up to the "big day" was solid. Book them without hesitation.

    Impressive - fun & professional

    Closing Time came to our rescue after 3 COVID related cancellations and rebooking of our wedding day. Due to the last change 4 weeks prior to our wedding date, we were band-less and upon researching 20+ bands, Closing Time came in very clearly as the winner. They were phenomenal to work with, were super flexible as things were changing daily with various restrictions and changes overall and made our wedding day that much more “real” feeling amidst all of the restrictions. Closing Time played outside on a stage under the stars, so they were all appropriately distanced and far away from the guests. It was perfect and we are so excited and appreciative how everything turned even through the ups and downs. Even with the slowdown of live entertainment due to COVID, Closing Time sounded AMAZING amidst them not playing together much, if at all, prior to our big day. We cannot wait to get our video back to relive our big day!

    Made the entire wedding!

    Wow! We are so lucky we chose Closing Time as our wedding band. Aside from the amazing music, Ryan and the band were so professional and he was such a great MC for all announcements, introductions, etc!

    The band made the ENTIRE night!! Our guests were giving them standing ovations just from their music they played during the dinner! Everyone was immediately on the dance floor after dinner, and they did not leave the dance floor until the wedding was over! Their talent and the music was just phenomenal.

    Ryan was so great in the pre-wedding phone call to make sure everyone's names would be pronounced correctly, to make sure they played all our favorite songs, and to go over all logistics.

    We are sooo happy we chose Closing Time! Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable and amazing!!!

    5 Star Experience

    Closing Time helped make our day so special. Ryan and the team were so easy to work with. We discussed the vibe we were hoping for (maximum dancing) and the songs I wanted to avoid. They were so great to learn our first dance song for us and even played "All I Want for Christmas" to add some holiday flavor to our December wedding.

    The dance floor was packed ALL night and I'm still hearing praise for the band two months later. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Band!!

    My husband and I got married in Killington VT in July 2019. We currently live in south jersey, so we chose most of our vendors from past reviews. We researched for months to try to find a band for our special day. We came across Murray Hill Talent and the band Closing Time while searching online. We watched videos of the band and instantly knew we wanted them! My husband emailed Murray Hill Talent to get a quote and they emailed back right away. We decided to go with the band Closing Time and we are so incredibly glad we did! Ryan the manager/lead singer was in contact with us via email and then called us the week before our wedding to iron out all the details. Ryan was very easygoing and great to deal with! The band was absolutely AMAZING and had all of our wedding guests on the dance floor all night long! I remember looking out at the tables and not one person was sitting! They played all the right songs and guests later raved about how good they were. To us, having good music was such an important part of our big day and we couldn't have been happier with our choice! You guys rock!!
