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!

The Life of the Party!

The Ben Mallare Band completely exceeded our expectations and made our wedding the epic dance party we dreamed of. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was absolutely packed and stayed that way all night long. Their energy was infectious and their talent level was incredible - they nailed every song they played, from current hits to classics, and had everyone from our college friends to our parents dancing non-stop.

We loved that they listened to our genre suggestions and they crafted a perfect playlist that appealed to guests of all ages. Their ability to read the room and keep the party going was phenomenal. They even learned the Philadelphia Eagles fight song for us!

If having an epic dance party is your priority for your wedding (like it was for ours), booking the Ben Mallare Band is an absolute must. They're not just great musicians - they're incredible entertainers who will make your wedding unforgettable!

Do not have any hesitations, they are truly the best of the best of wedding bands that will keep the energy going all night!

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!
