Showcasing Boston’s most entertaining musicians, CLOSING TIME performs weekly to capacity crowds at corporate events, clubs, casinos, colleges, and is quickly becoming one of the most sought after wedding bands on the East Coast. Each of our shows is an unforgettable night of entertainment, featuring all the greatest hit songs of yesterday and today.
Band Leader Ryan Engebretson and our representatives at Murray Hill Talent are with you every step of the way, from your first phone call to performing on your special day. Every couple is encouraged to help shape the set list and request songs that they would like to hear, along with supplying a do-not play list. Each member of Closing Time is a seasoned, professional musician, so if there is a song that you would like on your wedding day that is not currently a part of our song list, we would be happy to learn it for you.
Our goal is to help make your wedding day flow as smoothly as possible. Our musicians are available to provide live music for your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. We offer customizable packages designed to fit any wedding entertainment budget.

We were married on 9/16/17 and had Closing Time play for our reception as well as provide acoustic guitar for our ceremony and a live trio for the cocktail hour. We were SO blown away! We hadn't heard the band play live before hiring them so we were relying on the promo video and other videos of them playing live when we chose them. While they sound great in those videos, there is NO comparison to how AMAZING they are in person! It's over a week after our wedding and our guests are still telling us how much they loved the band. Murray Hill Talent and the band leader, Ryan, were so easy to work with and so accommodating. The band itself is just insanely talented, has a great energy and plays such a crowd-pleasing repertoire of songs. We had an absolute blast and would not hesitate to hire them again!

Amazing everything
Working with Closing Time was amazing!! Ryan was very responsive and accommodating. We got SO many compliments on how good they were, and having both a male an female vocalist performing really gave it an extra something. Closing Time really made the party!!

The Closing Time Band were an absolute pleasure to work with. Band Leader, Ryan had a clear understanding of what it takes to

provide exceptional entertainment for our guests, while we able to focus on simply enjoying our event.
The methodical professionalism set forth by Ryan's pre planning with us was priceless.
His attention to detail went beyond anything we would have thought of ourselves, right down to engineering the sound quality of the full band to this specific venue, so that the music was audibly enjoyable for all our guests.
The tremendous talent of the musicians would end up being dwarfed by Ryan's ability to tactfully and personably emcee the event.
As the night progressed, we understood it was the band, Closing Time, that represented to our guests the wedding day that we had planned so carefully. Besides the bride and groom, the band was our guests focal point and 'The Vibe" brought forth was a wonderful visual and musical spectacle as the wedding planner, florists, caterer, and everything else went unseen.
Now, 6 weeks later, our guests still rave of the unforgettable celebration that took place!
I am grateful that I was able to talk my daughter the bride, from a Ho-Hum D.J with tacky props, to the upscale entertainment that Closing Time brought to the table.
Father of the Bride, Dave.
