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!

Book Closing Time!

Book Closing Time NOW! They were our band for our June 2024 wedding and they were amazing. If you’re looking for a high-energy band to keep the party going all night long, they’re the wedding band for you. Our guests said they felt like they were at a concert. They exceeded all of our expectations. 10/10 recommend!

Best wedding band ever!

We booked Closing Time after seeing them play at our friends wedding last October. We just had our wedding this past weekend and people are still telling us how amazing the band was!!! They were so consultative and provided beautiful acoustic guitar for the ceremony + the best performance for the reception. Every single person was dancing and singing along!
