The West Coast's premier party band

BME were SO incredible for our wedding!! From the ceremony to the dance party, they absolutely crushed it. Guests were raving about them all night. If you are on the fence, pull the trigger. I promise you they are a very worthy investment!

Cannot say enough amazing things about Ben Mallare and the team. They were easy to work with throughout the planning process, and made me feel the setlist and flow was personal and customized. The performances blew me away, and my guests are still talking about it months later. We had a dreamy string trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour that made us feel like we were in a movie. Then the reception felt like a private concert. The musicians and vocalists were top notch, and played the perfect setlist to have guests on the dance floor all night. They truly were the piece that made our wedding special, and have been the most talked about part of our event.

We had the best experience working with the Ben Mallare Band. When I say they made the night, they really made the night spectacular. Ben's MCing was spot on, the songs they played were perfect, and they hit every single note! I had so many people tell me how fabulous the band was and ask for their contact information afterwards. If I could give them 100/10 stars I would :) If they're available your wedding weekend, hire them immediately!

Ben and his team put on the best set I could have ever asked for at my wedding! Not only were they so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, but they exceeded all of our expectations when it came to music. They were very accommodating with our special requests during ceremony and reception, and they even helped us pull off a special performance with my dad and I. They are a GREAT value, and it was some of the best money we spent during our wedding weekend. I could not recommend them enough!

"Oh my GOD that BAND!!" "Wait but for real that band???" "THE BAND????" - actual pull quotes from our guests in the days following our wedding Truly -- on the best weekend of our lives, Ben and his band were an absolute highlight. Their collective style, charisma, and musicianship were stunning. Maybe one of the best live performances I've ever been to, wedding or otherwise?? Logistically they were a dream to work with -- consummate professionals with clear guidelines, flexible set design, and prompt/clear communication. Can't recommend them highly enough!

We hired Ben Mallare for our wedding, and they truly exceeded every expectation. From our first conversation about music preferences to the very last song, they brought incredible energy, talent, and joy to the entire celebration. Guests were raving before we even made it into the reception--several asked how we found them and wanted their website on the spot. Their vocals were outstanding, the musicians were top-tier, and they read the crowd perfectly. The dance floor was packed all night--from our college friends to our grandparents. It honestly felt like the perfect mix of private concert, dance party, and unforgettable celebration. If anything, we just wish we had a bigger dance floor! If you're looking for a band to take your wedding to the next level and create lasting memories, book them. We feel so lucky they were part of our day. 10/10 experience.

Ben Mallare band was fantastic at our wedding in Cabo - we are so glad we went with them! Our friends and family were having the time of their lives on the dancefloor for four hours straight. They played all the special songs we picked out and MC'd all night to make sure speeches and everything else went flawlessly.

Absolutely the best band. Elevated our wedding to another level. They gave both an amazing performance and were incredibly professional. Performed guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and then the band smashed it during the reception. There are no break between songs so the dancing doesn’t stop and no one was leaving the dance floor. Our wedding night wouldn’t have been the same without them and I could not recommend this band more.

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 completely exceeded our expectations and made our wedding the epic dance party we dreamed of. From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was absolutely packed and stayed that way all night long. Their energy was infectious and their talent level was incredible - they nailed every song they played, from current hits to classics, and had everyone from our college friends to our parents dancing non-stop. We loved that they listened to our genre suggestions and they crafted a perfect playlist that appealed to guests of all ages. Their ability to read the room and keep the party going was phenomenal. They even learned the Philadelphia Eagles fight song for us! If having an epic dance party is your priority for your wedding (like it was for ours), booking the Ben Mallare Band is an absolute must. They're not just great musicians - they're incredible entertainers who will make your wedding unforgettable!

The Ben Mallare Band was the absolute best wedding band we could have asked for. It was important to us to have a band that would get the crowd going and keep the energy up all night and they truly exceeded our expectations - no one left the dance floor all night. They are extremely talented, professional and easy to work with - they worked with us on all of our special requests and were super responsive throughout the planning process. We had an absolute blast with them and could not recommend them more!

This was the absolute best wedding band ever! They are extremely talented and the energy and vibe had all of our wedding guests dancing the entire night! They also worked with my dad so he was able to perform a surprise song and they backed him up. They were very responsive during the planning process and so kind and easy to work with! 10/10 recommend hiring them for your wedding!!

The reviews are legit — this is the band you want to take your wedding to the next level! Incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with.

posting my personal email to the owner because it gives you all the insight you need. almost a month since our wedding and people are still texting me about the band. other families are inquiring about using them for their own events in the future. absolutely INCREDIBLE band. not a single person was sitting at the wedding. old. young and everything in between. they were worth every penny. don’t skip on a live band and don’t skip on ben mallare!!!! “I am still decompressing from the wedding but I just needed to send you and email because Mike and I can not stop talking about the band and neither can the guests. Chance, singers (wish i remembered the other incredible singers names - my adrenaline was peaking haha), band members are INCREDIBLY talented professionals… Andy we were BLOWN away. The Hurricane song was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I have to attach the video for you my friend took. Mike and I have watched it 500 times today (real number). It is a memory we will never ever forget. I was originally told by my planner I had to choose between “Hurricane” and “Heavy Metal” song because it was too many special love song requests. I’m not sure if that was a mix up or if it was a surprise but they played it and i was SHOCKED. This was my only surprise during the ceremony / reception (every wedding detail I planned). That song is very special to my family and I. I am a triplet and my dad used to blast that in the house and teach us three how to head bang at just four years old 🤣 twenty seven years later and we still got it. I was the last one of the three to get married so having that moment with my siblings was top three highlights of the day. We have had every single person that attended RAVE about the band. Everyone said they felt like they were at a concert. Multiple times throughout the night I looked around and nearly every single person was on the dance floor, old and young. It was just perfect. “

We can’t recommend Ben Mallare Events & Entertainment enough! Our wedding guests were blown away by their set during our reception and are still raving about them weeks later! We hired BME&E to perform during our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and they crushed all three events! The dance floor was raging all night and we wish we could relive night solely to experience their performance again. Ben and Andy were extremely responsive, accommodating and helpful throughout the planning process as well. Other pluses were that their fee included travel and accommodation costs for our wedding in Las Vegas and that they brought their own lighting. Thank you again, Ben and Andy!

an amazing band with every feature you could ask for. They took our party to the top and made it incredible. I would book them again in a heartbeat!!

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!

Ben Mallare's All-Stars helped make our wedding one to never forget! We were dead set on having a band rather than a DJ, and they exceeded our expectations. After listening to every wedding band in the area, we landed on Ben Mallare's All-Stars. We chose a live duo for the ceremony, and an 8-piece band for the reception. We got SO many compliments and many people said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard - shout out to Becky and Gabriel for the killer vocals! Not to be overlooked, Andy and team were excellent in the planning and communication leading up to the day (over the course of two years no less). We felt very confident that the whole crew knew exactly where to be, which songs we really wanted to hear, and how to keep the party going! Have no doubt when booking Ben Mallare that you are setting yourself up for a fun and memorable event.
