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!

From the first note to the final encore, they keep the energy soaring, ensuring the dance floor is alive with excitement. Extra bonus, the entire team is fantastic to work with from start to finish. Hands down the absolute best!!

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.

Ben Mallare band was incredible.. they kept the dance floor going, and having a live band versus a DJ is such a fun addition to your reception. Ben and his team connected to the crowd, and were a pleasure to work with!
