Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment

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!

“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.
