Having a memorable band was the #1 priority for us when we set about planning our wedding. Ben Mallare, Chance, and their band provided an absolutely amazing experience. Communication was super quick and easy, and they were very clear about the options available for how small or large of a band we wanted on our wedding day. We opted for Chance and a 10+ piece for the reception, and a smaller group for the ceremony.
They were absolutely the best band I've ever experienced at a wedding - from the emotional songs during the ceremony to the high-energy conclusion for the reception, every song hit the spot. They learned the song we wanted for our first dance, and it was magical. The energy was perfect all night. Some of the older guests came up to us the next morning and told us the music and dancing made them feel like they were in their 20s again!
If incredible live music is important to you for your special day, I can't more highly recommend Ben Mallare Entertainment. Thanks for making our wedding night so magical! -

The Ben Mallare Band is the absolute powerhouse of high-energy entertainment for weddings! Their performance is a dynamic fusion of talent, passion, charisma for days, and infections enthusiasm that transforms any celebration into a truly unforgettable experience. I am a Wedding Planner in Las Vegas (yes, the entertainment capital of the world) and I bring The Ben Mallare Band to every wedding I possibly can because they're THAT GOOD. From the first note to the final encore, they keep the energy soaring, ensuring the dance floor is alive with excitement. Extra bonus, the entire team is fantastic to work with from start to finish. Hands down the absolute best!! If you're looking for a band that will elevate your wedding celebration to new heights, Ben Mallare Band is the unrivaled choice for a night of non-stop, exhilarating fun! -

Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment blew us away with their talent, ease to work with, and the VIBE they brought to our wedding! We wanted our wedding to be a blast, and the band had everyone out of their seats dancing for the majority of the evening. Between learning our songs, to the longest Hora in history, Ben Mallare made our evening so special. Very thankful.

Could not have made a better decision
Finding the right band for our wedding was probably the number one item on my wedding to do list. I reviewed quite a few different options and ultimately chose Ben Mallare because of their reviews and because of the perceived value of their service compared to other vendors. All of the positive reviews from other couples on here are 100 percent accurate. They literally made our wedding an epic party from start to finish, so much so that people had to be asked to leave the dance floor BEFORE food service began. The dance floor was packed with people dancing and singing along for hours, including my 95 year old grandpa. Chance was our MC and he was an absolute home run, but all of the musicians were incredibly talented, and the saxophone player was absolutely killing it. I had so many friends and family ask how we found such an incredible band. They made our wedding feel like something a Hollywood celebrity would throw at a price point that was more reasonable than many other vendors out there. Hire them as early as you can, they are worth every penny. -

Outstanding Wedding Band!
We loved having the Ben Mallare Band at our wedding and would highly recommend them! We hired them for our wedding in Palm Dessert in November 2022 (8 piece band for a five hour reception and 2 musicians for ceremony/cocktail hour) and everything about the experience was outstanding.
They were extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and were very flexible to accommodate special requests. Day of, the musicians and vocalists were extremely talented and professional, and brought great energy and stage presence throughout the day. Our guests absolutely loved the band and were dancing all night long, with a number of guests telling us this was the best wedding band they had ever seen. -

Thanks Ben, Andy, Chance
My husband did a lot of research on wedding bands, and we are so glad to have found Ben Mallare Entertainment. They were courteous and professional leading up to the big day and always took time to answer our questions. We weren't entirely sure how many pieces we wanted, so they walked us through different scenarios and recommendations to find the right fit. They also worked with us to ensure that our ceremony music began at the right place in the song (we didn't necessarily want all of them to start right at the beginning). Our reception was a true DANCE PARTY! They brought so much energy and life to the dance floor - our guests were out there all night and then some! Everyone has since consistently commented on how amazing our band was. They truly made it the dance party we wanted! Definitely hire Ben Mallare if you are looking for a band! -

We booked a band with Ben Mallare for our wedding and they did NOT disappoint! Andy Robbins was our coordinator, and he was extremely thorough and organized with everything. The band itself was AWESOME! We went with two vocalists, 2 horns, piano, guitar and bass. The energy was incredible. They had their own lighting. The singers sounded fantastic. We were able to request up to 4 songs for them to learn. This band was amazing and had our guests boogying all night. Highly highly recommend! -

Simply the best in north america
“WHERE did you find this band?!”, “this is by far the best wedding band I’ve ever heard”, and “this band is so fun!” are a few of the many quotes we heard throughout our wedding night and the days since. The entire time, we were (and still are) so proud to share the Ben Mallare name and are so thrilled we could share our day with the All-Stars Band feat. Chance. Our wedding reception and the dance floor was really a highlight of our entire wedding weekend, and the band was world-class.
We could go on and on about how much fun the dance floor was, how engaging the band was with weddinggoers, how great the music was, etc., but you should take all of that as an absolute given. Ben Mallare’s All Stars Band brings together truly talented, hard working and fun musicians, the perfect recipe for success. The rest of our review will go more into how easy and reliable the Ben Mallare team was to work with - really one of the most important parts for couples and planners to pull off a big and complex production with little stress.
We came across Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment by pure luck and chance early in 2021 after our engagement. We knew music was going to be a very important part of our wedding weekend and we wanted the absolute best of the best. We searched up and down the entire west of Canada and the west coast of the U.S. for the most impressive wedding band we could find, and landed on Ben Mallare. We got to know Ben and his team as part of the onboarding / planning process, and have only the nicest things to say.
Our wedding was in Banff, Alberta, Canada and we had a feeling the location could be a bit of a challenge for any band - but nope(!). The Ben Mallare team took care of everything, from travel, to lodging, to equipment, to sound, to production. For us, bringing in Ben Mallare and the All-Stars Band feat. Chance was literally as easy as going with a local band. We were so impressed with their execution and ease, and we had literally zero stress throughout the entire process.
In addition to travel, the Ben Mallare team worked very well with our planner and producer, Lynn Fletcher Weddings. We had a very complex schedule, from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception with many minute-by-minute details worked out in advance. Everyone worked together so well, it was a very impressive sight to behold watching the symphony of vendors come together to pull off a magical weekend at the Banff Springs Hotel. The Ben Mallare team was a huge part of our weekend and contributed immensely to its success and our enjoyment (a personal THANK YOU to each and every one of the musicians and techs who came up, we loved having you(!)).
We can’t wait to look back at our wedding photos, videos and think about all the happy memories we had on our wedding weekend. We will always smile and chuckle at the huge coup we all pulled off (with Ben Mallare’s help, of course) having such an incredible band come up to party with us at the Banff Springs Hotel. We also know that many of our guests will have that same memory, and we have only the highest recommendation for everything Ben Mallare. -

Best band ever!
EASIEST DECISION EVER!! When booking our vendors, the band was the most important to us. We did so much research before booking Ben Mallare. We must have listened to every video of the band and all the different options they offer and we were sold right away! They offer so many different packages so it was super easy to customize to fit within our budget. Communication was a breeze with them! Every question I had they were quick to respond and I was able to customize the proposal as we went. We booked the Signature band with male+female vocals and they were PERFECT!
Day of they were so professional and most importantly of all, they were FUN!! My family was dancing all night and my family is not a dancing family so this was huge. The band was engaging and kept the energy going all night!
To this day, my friends and family are still raving about them! Everyone had such an amazing time and I can't thank Ben Mallare and his team enough for making our wedding day the best day ever! I will continue to refer them to anyone that is interested in having a live band for their wedding or any party!! -

Heidy F. Sent on 10/01/2021Amazing, must fun wedding ever!
We are beyond happy we could get the Ben Mallare to entertain our wedding.
Besides their outstanding performance, I loved that they replied promptly to all my inquiries and made all my requests come true. I had two songs for the first dance because we had an interracial wedding, and we wanted both of our cultures to be represented, and the engineering team made it a seeming transition. They arrived and set up early. I never heard a high pitch sound or microphone out tone during the entire wedding.
Initially, I only hired them for the wedding reception. Still, as the event date got closer, I added the ceremony music and then even included jazz for the cocktail hour, and it was the best decision ever. When my husband walked down the aisle, he had to make a double-take to confirm the band was playing his song because he thought it was a recording, but it was Shay singing!
My advice for any future bride or person that needs entertainment at their event is to make room in their budget to hire this incredible band. Flowers die quickly, and no one notices chargers, fancy table cloths, napkins, glasses, utensils, or any of that “fluff.” But everyone remembers a good time. Our guests said it was the most fun wedding they had been to and for weeks kept telling us we did a fantastic job choosing the band.
It has been over a month, and I still find myself jumping with happiness while watching the videos and reliving dancing the entire night. Everyone, including my 7 and 8 months pregnant guests, were on the floor all night!
Thank you so much, Chance and Shay our amazing vocalists, and the entire band. Also, Andy for all your help and quick replies.
