November 14, 2023Great band!
The Ben Mallare band played at our wedding (both ceremony and reception) and we could not have been happier! The music was fantastic, and all of our guests danced the whole night. Several of our guests also told us they were the best wedding band they’ve seen. The music was one of the most important aspects of our wedding to us and The Ben Mallare Band delivered.
In addition to being great performers, they were also very easy to work with. Everyone was very responsive over email and helpful when we had questions. I highly recommend booking The Ben Mallare Band.

May 2, 2023Best band ever!
We highly recommend Ben Mallare! We hired them for our wedding in San Clemente and had an 8 piece band for the reception, 2 strings for the ceremony and 2 Jazz musicians for the cocktail hour. This was their first time playing at our venue and even with a last minute ceremony location change, everything went smoothly. The planning process also went extremely smoothly with special song requests and some last minute additions to the band. Our guests are still talking about how they were the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. We especially loved how they sang throughout the dinner portion. It made for a very intimate evening. We would easily hire them again and recommend you do too!

November 13, 2022AMAZING!!
Run, do not walk, to book Ben Mallare and the Complete All-Stars featuring Chance. We had the absolute joy of working with Ben Mallare and his team for our wedding in August, and it was the best decision we made. Having a fantastic wedding band was a top priority for us--we love live music and can be pretty picky, and we wanted the dance floor to be packed. We were absolutely blown away, and so were our guests. They are the best wedding band we have ever heard, and many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding to say as much! We were so impressed with not only their musical talent—vocal and instrumental—but also the energy and presence they brought to their performance. We so appreciate how professional everyone was, and how seamless it was to work with Ben and Andy in the planning process—they were both so responsive and helpful. Our only regret is that it all flew by so fast—we could have stayed on that dance floor until daylight the next day. They are SUCH a talented group.

July 19, 2022Made our wedding an absolute hit
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!
