Ben's communication up to and during the wedding was top notch. He and his partner played the right songs at the right times, and really were a hit with our guests. What a great voice he has. So much fun! Thanks; we would definitely recommend Ben to any of our friends getting married in California!
The best decision we made for our wedding was hiring Ben Mallare for live entertainment. We received so many compliments and excitement asking us how we found Ben. All guests were at awe during his performance!
Ben and his mates sing everything from pop, rock, old time classics to new age. For our first dance, he learned a song that very few people have ever heard of, and sang it on tune with ease. We enjoyed every second of it.
Ben also did a fantastic job directing the reception. Introducing us to the dance floor as Mr. and Mrs., leading up to the cake cutting, bouquet toss, father / daughter dance, etc. I don't know what we would have done with him! He kept the night flowing and the crowd dancing all night long. No one wanted to leave!
Ben is professional, responded to emails in a timely manner, met with us prior to our wedding date to finalize details and was truly a pleasure to work with.
Ben gets an A++ for the fantastic job him and his mates did at our wedding. I can't say enough good words about the entire experience. I hope I get the pleasure of seeing him perform again.
My wife and I hired Ben Mallare and Emma Kurman-Faber to sing at our wedding. We had a small, intimate wedding with about 30 guests. The music Ben and Emma provided was spot on and sounded great. We were able to choose which songs to play during the ceremony, and more for the reception. Their taste in music was very similar to ours. They played a great mix of slower and up-tempo music. Our friends and family are still commenting about how great they were and ask us- “Where and how did you find them?!” We only wish we could have listened to them longer! They were professional, on time, personable and made us feel at ease. We would recommend them to anyone! LOVED them!!!
