Perfect Wedding Band!!

We could not recommend Business Time Entertainment any more highly after working with them for our wedding this summer. From our very first informational meeting, Tim and Mandy proved to be exceptional listeners, noting every small detail we shared with them, and offering flexibility to meet our needs at every step. When we shared that we wanted a longer set of traditional Horah music, Tim quickly volunteered to have the band learn news songs not in their repertoire, and then executed them flawlessly. The ceremony and cocktail music was a perfect match to our outdoor garden wedding, a testament to how well Tim and the crew understood the mood and vibe we wanted for our event. At the reception, the band knew exactly what to play and when. For example, we had a moment with sparklers and the band instantly started playing Firework by Katy Perry, which was just perfect. From the moment the first set started the dance floor was packed and stayed that way all night long. For our first dance, the band started off acoustic and then seamlessly transitioned into an upbeat version of the song everyone could dance to. It was also so evident how much fun the band was having, as well as how well they all got along. Throughout the night their sound was well balanced and not at all too loud - it was truly high quality music. You could take our recommendation from us alone, but since the wedding we have been receiving countless compliments on how astounding, engaging, and epic Business Time Entertainment was at our wedding. They were such a major part of our most special night, and we can't thank them enough for the effort, intentionality, and warmth they brought alongside the beautiful music. If we could, we would give them 100 stars!

Business Time rocks!

When my wife and I began planning for our wedding, the one thing we knew we HAD to have was a live band. Totally non-negotiable. Thankfully, our wedding planner referred us to Business Time and boy did they crush it!

From our first meeting to the wedding itself, Tim and Mandy were absolute professionals in ensuring the MCing and music perfectly matched our tastes. They also did a wonderful job in accommodating our various requests and came up with creative solutions to ensure all our favorite songs were played. Special shout-out to Tim who regularly took 6am Zoom calls as we planned the wedding from Singapore!

And when it came to the party, the band performed magnificently and brought the perfect amount of energy. I lost count of all the guests who came up to my wife and I complimenting the band. Special shoutout to Mandy who was both MC and lead singer of the band!

All in all, if you're having your wedding in the LA area, we really can't recommend Business Time Entertainment enough.

Simply the Best

Tim, Mandy and the rest of the band are phenomenal! They truly made our wedding amazing with perfectly played variety of music. Even our other vendors were complimenting the music! They were so sweet from the first time we spoke with them, and did everything possible to make our wedding perfect. I highly recommend them and can't thank them enough for how special everything was.

Thank you Business Time!

Honestly can't say enough about this incredible band that absolutely rocked out wedding in October 2021. Coming out on the other side of the pandemic, after a year of planning and constant uncertainty, we consider ourselves blessed with all of our incredible vendors, and namely Business Time. Easy to communicate with through the entire process, literally right up through the week of the event, and on top of all of our requests and logistics with our planner. We had two separate locations at our venue and they were set and ready to go at both well before the ceremony began. And they just absolutely ROCKED all night. Best of all - they have a sound engineer on site, so all speeches are clear and audible and you're never searching for a microphone. I plan on only getting married once, but I would bring them out again in a second.

Hire this band now

There just aren't enough wonderful things I can even think of to say about BTE and working with them throughout the absolute insanity that was planning and having a wedding during COVID. First off, I did not have an opportunity to see any bands live before choosing one because I live out of state and then COVID hit. So I EXTENSIVELY researched Los Angeles wedding bands and listened to hours and hours of samples from various bands. We loved BTE's sound, they had excellent reviews, and my initial conversation over the phone with Tim and Mandy just made me feel so comfortable with choosing them. We went through date changes, constantly shifting COVID regulations, and they were just SO easy and flexible about all of it. In the end, I was 100% correct in choosing them because they had the dance floor packed all night and did an incredible job emceeing. They were so attentive to every detail and making sure our day was exactly what we hoped for. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music were all just absolutely perfect. Even the DJ sets they played while taking a dinner break were perfect. My father in law, who is very critical of wedding music, loved them just as much as we did and thought the most important part of it all was that they played at a perfect volume to keep those dancing excited, but to allow those taking a dancing break to be able to comfortably chat with one another at their tables. My mother tipped them the night of, and then my husband and I ended up tipping them even more a few days later because they just did such a fantastic job, we couldn't get over it. We owe so much of our special evening to them and I want to shout from the rooftops to ensure other couples have the same opportunity to work with this amazing group! You will not be sorry with your choice.

10/10! BTE were great!

I highly recommend Business Time Entertainment for any event! Tim was easy to communicate with and remained extremely flexible through scheduling and rescheduling with the pandemic. Tim and Mandy helped customize everything to meet the needs of our wedding (indoor/outdoor, different and changing numbers of musicians, acoustic ceremony, etc.) and left no stone unturned. The music was on point from the ceremony through to closing time and Tim was a great emcee for the night. We had so much fun dancing and all our friends were asking how we found such a great band. We had such a blast at our wedding and were so glad we picked a band who really brought the energy all day long.

Unforgettable

I would absolutely recommend this band. BTE absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. Tim and Mandy were a delight to work with and made the musical part of my planning stress free and helped me create a magical event. Plus they were so interactive with my guests and excellent MCs. I cannot sing their praises enough. Thank you BTE for the most unforgettable time.

Challenging Times Bring Out The Best In People

My daughters wedding has been rescheduled twice due to Covid-19. Living in Florida with a wedding in California, I did a lot of research on bands before selecting BTE. I had numerous calls with Tim before and after it became clear that the wedding must be moved - twice. Given the enormous impact this must have on them, they have been completely supportive of any changes that were needed. I also like the fact that you deal directly with the band and know what you will get. They are by far the most flexible of all of the bands I evaluated. I can't wait for them to perform at our wedding in June. We also love that this is not a side gig for them. They are true musicians.

Get business time!

Choosing Business Time was by one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. Tim and Mandy were so incredibly easy to work with. Their communication with us during the whole planning process put us at ease because we knew they had it handled. They are so clearly passionate about the work they do, and it shows in the relationships they build with their couples, not to mention the STELLAR music they produce! Tim worked seamlessly with our other key vendors and made sure everything was on schedule the entire night so that we had nothing to worry about, and could enjoy our special night. ALL the band members were so incredibly talented and full of energy, and made us want to keep dancing. We saw them at a wedding a year before ours, and knew we HAD to have them. They packed our dance floor the entire night and kept the party going all night. To this day, our friends and family (some of whom are professional musicians) cannot stop talking about how great the music was, and how much fun they had dancing the night away with us. We requested some 90’s jams - they nailed them! Our first dance and parent dances - nailed them! My maid-of-honor even secretly contacted them beforehand to play a surprise song for my family, and they blew us away with it. Do yourself a favor and GET BUSINESS TIME!

Duct Tape - Keeps Everything Together and Smooth and Shiny

My husband and I recently got married this past February. Business Time Entertainment was an integral part of our day and helped make everything go so smoothly. We first heard about them through another friend's wedding. My husband fell in love with their live performance. I actually wasn't keen on having a live band initially due to worry about costs. However, I have zero regrets over having them be apart of our day. Business Time Entertainment was there throughout the whole day - ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they really acted like the glue to keep the day running. Guests, family, and we were blown away with the beautiful music and the priceless ambiance they provided. I was already overwhelmed when they played the perfect music at our ceremony. We weren't at the cocktail hour, but we heard rave reviews. And they kept the momentum going during the reception. They were receptive to what we wanted, and offered their own expertise. The band is friendly and talented, and they even provide MC services. This is all crucial to having a seamless day. My husband and I were so amazed at just how smoothly our day went, and it's in large part due to Business Time Entertainment. Thank you for all the fond memories.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
