Book Closing Time ASAP!

Oh my goodness, I don't even know where to begin except to say - BOOK CLOSING TIME NOW! Ryan and the rest of the band members were without a doubt, the best part of our wedding. As a bride and groom who were absolutely set on booking a DJ, we opted to check out some bands at the request of our family members. Needless to say, we could not have been happier with Closing Time. Not only are they amazing musically, they're stellar performers - we got our wedding pictures back and the dance floor was absolutely packed the entire time with every age range of guest - all thanks to Closing Time. As a bride and groom who were anxious about logistics leading up to the wedding day, Ryan was always there to help. His calm demeanor and ability to make light of any situation was such a comfort to us. Additionally, they're simply just great people. My father-in-law was ill during our reception and needed to go rest, meaning we had to do a quick shift in the schedule and move up some key events. Ryan and the rest of the band understood without hesitation and even interrupted their break for dinner to make sure my father-in-law could see the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances before he needed to rest. It was so appreciated. Again, we absolutely cannot speak more highly of them. Closing Time was the highlight of our wedding without a doubt. THANK YOU so much Closing Time!

The Best Wedding Band

Closing Time was absolutely incredible. They had a performer at our ceremony and cocktail hour in addition to the full band at the reception, they were excellent at each. Nearly every guest remarked to us how great the band was. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Unbelievable Performance

Closing Time absolutely made our wedding! They did a great job with the music during our ceremony and the casual background music for our cocktail hour and dinner part of our reception. Once the dance floor was open they kept the energy elevated and all our guests on the dance floor, from the first song to the encore. They were very easy to work with and ensured they had every detail of our timeline set. We had seen Closing Time at another wedding and knew we wanted to book them. But their set at our wedding felt entirely different from what we had heard from them before in the best way possible. They strived to ensure their setlist captured our taste as a couple while also feeding off our guests’ responses to the set. You cannot go wrong with Closing Time!

Closing Time is the BEST!

Closing Time was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding. From planning with Ryan, the band’s manager, to the song selections, lighting, and sound, everything was top quality. The band members are all very talented and professional. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing Closing Time was. If we could give more than five stars, we would. The dance floor was packed the entire night. The variety of songs, the seamless transitions, and the overall ambience that Closing Time brings is unmatched. Thank you so much for making our ceremony and reception so incredible!

Hire them immediately

Closing Time made our wedding so memorable! We had people coming up to us all night absolutely raving about how amazing they were. The dance floor was never empty and they kept the energy up all night long. Our first-dance and father-daughter songs were also not on their setlist, but they learned them for us and played them perfectly. They are so talented and true professionals.

Best band ever!!!

It is already a month after our wedding and our guests are still talking about how awesome Closing Time was. They brought the party all night long! Their song choices and high energy performance are unmatched! The dance floor was packed all night! They were also so easy to work with. The week before the wedding we had a great phone call to go over every detail of the wedding from start to finish - they were willing to try every idea we had and made sure to include songs that were important to us. They were flexible with us day of, allowing us to walk up and ask them to do things during the night such as announce our T- Shirt toss when we were ready. I could not recommend them more for an unforgettable night!

Best band!

We can’t say enough good things about our wedding band—they were an absolute blast! From the very first song, they completely captured our vibe and kept the energy high all night long. So many of our guests have told us they were the best band at a wedding they’ve ever seen, and the band was a huge part of why everyone had such a great time.

We’re still hearing raving reviews about how talented they were—people couldn’t stop dancing, and the setlist was perfectly curated to keep everyone on the floor. We had originally contemplated doing a photo booth, but we’re so glad we didn’t—no one wanted to leave the dance floor, including us!

We also want to shout out the incredibly talented pianist and guitarist who played during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They created the perfect ambiance and made those moments feel so special and personal.

The MC was absolutely amazing, guiding the night flawlessly and keeping everything flowing smoothly—truly helped make the evening stress-free and fun for everyone.

On top of all that, they handled the uplighting too. When we realized we’d chosen the wrong color, they immediately switched it without hesitation, which made such a difference in setting the perfect mood.

If you’re looking for a fun, professional, and insanely talented group of musicians who will elevate every part of your day, look no further. We’re so grateful they were part of our wedding!
