About

On WeddingWire since 2015

Brides and Grooms of New England! Are you ready to make your dream wedding a reality? Do you want a party your guests will rave about for years to come? Closing Time is ready to make that happen with legendary live music & DJ services for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing.

We perform regularly at wedding venues across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and New York. On top of bringing the party to 40+ weddings per year, we also perform weekly to capacity crowds at clubs, colleges, casinos, private events, and corporate functions. Every show is an unforgettable night of entertainment, featuring the greatest hit songs of yesterday and today.

Closing Time is flexible in size, ranging from 5 to 9 musicians. Our popular 7-piece option features: male and female lead vocals, tenor sax, guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums. Trumpet and trombone may be added upon request as well! Our high-energy wedding band is overseen by Owner & Band Manager Ryan Engebretson and our incredible team at Murray Hill Talent.

WEDDING SERVICES OFFERED

Ceremony: Closing Time offers three live music packages for the ceremony: instrumental acoustic guitar, instrumental piano, or instrumental acoustic guitar & piano duo. We also offer DJ services, wireless microphones for the officiant and readers, a sound system so that everything can be heard clearly, and a sound engineer for seamless production.

Dancing: This is where the party REALLY gets started! Closing Time provides you with upbeat and diverse dance sets, including hit songs from the past 60 years that have proven to be huge “dance floor fillers” and “crowd pleasers”.

I Feel Like a Woman!", "You Shook Me All Night Long", and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", Classic Hits like: "September", "I Will Survive", "Respect", "Shout" and the list goes on and on.

    Closing Time Boston is epic.

    I thought Closing Time was great in their promo video, and they're even BETTER in person. Seriously. They're fun and energetic, total treat for the guests. The dance floor was electric all night long. We had an 150 person wedding, and I'd say there were over 100 people on the dance floor the WHOLE night. I had a million people ask about our band because they were so good. They have an amazing range. They can do classic songs, MoTown, 80s, 90s, 00s, you name it. We added two horn players. I feel so lucky to have had Ryan and his band at our wedding. He and Ken are so easy to work with... super accommodating and responsive. If they are available for your date, BOOK CLOSING TIME BOSTON!

    Hire Closing Time for a good time!

    Closing Time was the perfect wedding band! Planning and discussions were stress free and fun, we discussed timelines, names, introductions, ceremony music and most importantly reception music. The entire process was easy and Ryan really made it feel like they were there to make us have a good time. We used them for both our ceremony and reception and both went perfect. Their music, upbeat attitudes and range made sure everyone had a great time and our dancefloor was packed from start to finish. They even learned our first song! If you want to have fun at your wedding this is the right band for you!!
