Business Time

Business Time was incredible to work with! They were responsive, professional and truly made our wedding the best night ever. Our event went until 1am and quite literally everyone stayed on the dance floor until the very end. I highly, highly recommend them!

We got married 9/21/24 and Business Time really made our special day even more special. From the first inquiry, we knew choosing Business Time to provide the soundtrack for our reception was the right choice. Mark worked with us, getting to know us personally, and really catered to our vision. All of the guys are not only great musicians but great people. Business Time kept our guests out on the dance floor all night! Two highlights of the night I’ll never forget - 1. Them playing a song dedicated to my Dad who celebrated us from Heaven 2. Not only allowing but encouraging my husband to get up and play a song with them. I would 1000% recommend them for your wedding or event - our guests still rave about the band! Thank you guys for being such a great part of our day and we can’t wait to see you play in Boston the first chance we get to visit!

Hiring Business Time was one of the BEST choices we made for our wedding. They are great guys - super humble, fun to be around, and incredibly talented. We gave them the vision we were hoping for (a good party) and they really made it happen. Mark is extremely responsive and organized and made the entire planning process with them a breeze. Our guests told us they couldn't get off the dance floor because song after song was a hit - they really made the night an awesome time. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I've seen Business Time play multiple weddings (including my own) and every time they knock it out of the park. Their Knot page says they're Boston's Greatest Wedding Band but they're easily one of the best in the country. Mark was a superstar with his knowledge of how weddings best work and his advice was invaluable in planning our wedding. Every member of the band is beyond talented and just awesome to be around. Even Liam on the soundboard is a total sweetheart. They learned songs we wanted to hear and even let our family up to play with them unrehearsed. Not everyone can handle that kind of show but it's second nature to these guys. If you're looking for your wedding band and you're reading this, look no further. Just give Mark a call and he'll have you sold! Love you guys!! -T

These guys absolutely crush it. They played our wedding back in October and every single one of our guests has told us how much the band made the night. Mark was super easy to work with and made the whole process a breeze. They do a great job reading the room and playing nothing but great tune after great tune. I cannot say enough good things about Business Time. They kick ass

Business Time Rock was absolutely amazing! They were extremely professional and organized from the beginning and took the time to get to know what we wanted for the day. We had them playing at our ceremony and cocktail hour too and highly recommend! The sound was clear with no issues and they made our ceremony personalized by learning two songs for the processional. Great guys and a great band!

This review is a year-plus in the making, but I need to make it. My wife and I got married in May of 2022, and we still receive praise from friends and family on how amazing Business Time was. My wife and I have now been to two weddings this year where a live band performed, and they just did not have the same energy and magic that Business Time brought to our day. In full transparency, my wife and I battled with the cost of entertainment while budgeting for the wedding. We thought, "you know, we might be able to get a DJ a bit less", but after experiencing Business Time at another wedding, we just knew our wedding wouldn't be the same without them. While our food choices were good, the decor excellent, the open bar the entire event amazing....it's Business Time that people still remember. If you're at all on the fence about what to do for your music, I urge you to please prioritize this band. I promise you will not regret it.

What an amazing band! All night guests kept stopping to ask us how we found them. They kept the reception moving and people dancing all night!

Hire Business Time!! They are so incredibly talented and fun to work with, and so many of our guests all said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard. We have been to a lot of weddings that play the exact same music, and wanted our wedding band to be unique to our style and something different for our guests. Business Time exceeded all expectations for the most epic dance party of all time. They truly listened to our preferences, brought on horn players at our request, learned new music, and even let some musical members of our wedding party get up on stage to perform with them. Their setlist was extremely versatile, absolutely nailing everything from Sinatra and Van Morrison to Third Eye Blind and the Cranberries. They were also extremely professional and easy to work with. We had the best time celebrating with them!

These guys rocked! Loved working with Business Time for my wedding. Their upbeat music got everyone on the dance floor all night.

TLDR: Stop your search for the perfect wedding band, because you just found them! Where to even begin? Mark and team are AWESOME. We first heard them at a friend's wedding and knew immediately we needed to book them for our own. They are so fun, easy to work with, and keep the dance floor packed ALL.NIGHT.LONG. Almost a month later and our family and friends are still raving about how amazing the band was. Planning the "perfect" wedding can only happen if you have a team of perfect vendors, and we put Business Time at the top of the list. Mark was so attentive and quick to respond. He took the time to get to know us, our vibe, and did an amazing job at putting together a setlist that was so perfectly "us". Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding night exactly what we dreamed of and a night that both us and our guests will never forget! WE LOVE YOU!! xo Kaleigh & Neil

Business time was the perfect band for our wedding! Great group of fellas with a ton of talent and they tailored the music exactly as we wished….also everyone was on the floor dancing from our friends to my 92 year old grandmother! The day would not have been the same without them so hire this band and you will not be disappointed. Thank you all again!

What an absolute blast it was to work with Business Time! A band was always a must have for our January 2022 wedding. I wanted the dance floor to be packed, and for everyone to be singing songs they know and love at the top of their lungs. Wow, Business Time delivered. Everyone (and I mean everyone) commented on how fantastic they were. High energy, extremely talented, and so, so wonderful to work with. Business Time gave us so much more than a great party, though. They gave us such incredible moments and memories that we'll cherish forever. Moments like entering the State Room with our wedding party with a ridiculous coordinated dance to "Hooked on a Feeling" that Business Time helped us coordinate, amazing dinner music, perfectly timed first dances, and making sure the night flowed smoothly. When we were watching our wedding video, we realized they performed the most amazing version of "Copperline" by James Taylor. We had no idea at the time, but today it's a song we listen to often that brings us back to that really special moment. Their performance of Mr. Brightside brings me back to the end of the night, surrounded by so many people we love, my heart filled with so much joy and gratitude, having the time of my life. I am so grateful that Business Time gave us these moments. They are hands down a 10/10 - fun, organized, detail-oriented, supportive, kind, and SO talented. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Business Time!

Business Time always kills it! They make any great party an epic experience that all attendees will always remember. My wife and I love live music and knew we wanted to have a live band at our wedding. We were first introduced to the band in the summer of 2017 when they played at my sister and brother in law's wedding. The band was amazing and had all of the guests on the dance floor all night long. Our family was so blown away by both the band's performance, and also the way they heightened the energy of the entire night. We had so much fun that night that two years later, when my sister and I decided to throw our parents a surprise 60th birthday party, we reached out to the band to see if they were available and willing to play at the party. The band once again made the evening a huge success. We joked that night that they should play at our wedding the following spring, and without skipping a beat, the guys said yes and it was a done deal! What they didn't realize at the time was that my wife and I had moved to California and we were planning to get hitched in San Diego. A few weeks after the surprise 60th birthday party, we followed up with the band just to confirm that they wouldn't actually fly to California to play our wedding....right?!? They shocked us once again, when they replied saying they absolutely would fly to CA for our wedding. We planned to get married in April 2020 but due to Covid, we postponed. Mark was the first of our many vendors to reach out to let us know that they would make whatever future date we rescheduled for work on their end. We ended up rescheduling our wedding to this past April 2022 and of course, Business Time killed it. Now obviously I am biased that I feel my wedding was an unforgettable day and night, but Business Time helped to make it an unforgettable party for each and everyone of our guests. They catered a significant amount of the night's set to reflect the kind of music we love. They learned a number of songs we love (unbeknownst to us), and even let me play guitar for a song as well. To be clear, I am not saying they will ever allow that again, nor should you have the expectation that they will, but the way they always do whatever it takes to make the night the way you want it is absolutely incredible. I would (and do) recommend Business Time to absolutely everyone who wants music at their wedding. I am positive that if you hire them, they will be the highlight of your wedding and that your friends and family will want to call on them for their future events.

Cannot say enough incredible things about business time rock. Mark was so responsive, professional and helpful in the planning process. We received compliments on the band from almost all of our wedding guests saying they were the best wedding band theyve ever seen. It was so amazing they learned a new song for our first dance and even changed the words to the father daughter dance so it was the way my dad would always sing it to me growing up! Business time rock were much more reasonably priced and way higher quality than other bands we considered. They were truly professionals from start to finish. If you’re looking for a band that brings the party you’d be a fool not to choose business time rock!!

Business Time was amazing to work with for our May wedding. They started the party and kept it going. Our guests are still talking about what a great time they had with the band! In the preparation leading up to the wedding, Mark really helped us plan and was so professional. We highly recommend Business Time!

We heard Business Time play at a wedding four years ago and knew immediately we wanted them to play at ours too. We were thrilled when they said they would travel to NJ for our wedding! They have absolutely the best mix of music and really knew when to play which songs to get people on the dance floor all night. Our parents (and friends) loved all the classic rock songs and still rave about Business Time months later! They know all the hits from middle school, which meant our friends were on the dance floor all night dancing and singing to every song. The acoustic set they played at cocktail hour was perfect as well. Mark was fantastic to communicate with throughout the whole pre-wedding planning and made sure the night went smoothly. We can't recommend Business Time enough if you want the dance floor full all night!

Absolutely one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding was booking with Business Time. From the moment we started wedding planning, we knew that we wanted a band that didn't feel like a wedding band and we REALLY wanted a pop punk vibe. We found Business Time, went to see them play at Landsdowne, and were sold immediately. After our first meeting with Mark, we were even more sold. I felt like I had just made a best friend who completely understood my taste in music and exactly what we wanted our wedding vibe to be. Then on the day of the wedding, they absolutely delivered. We were unable to peel ourselves off the dance floor for the majority of the night because we were having the MOST fun. They played to the crowd and made sure everyone had a great time, but most importantly, they made sure that WE had a good time. They played all of the music that we love and even guests who didn't necessarily have the same taste or didn't feel like getting on the dance floor continue to tell us that it was like being at a bar just listening to music. Every single guest we've heard from had an absolute blast, and even the staff at the venue said it was the best music they'd seen at a wedding. It was an absolutely unforgettable night and we are so so grateful for you folks. Being great people is an added bonus - we love you guys thank you so much!!

Absolutely the best! We cannot say enough good things about Mark and Business Time. We were on the hunt for a slightly different wedding band and really focussed on a pop punk wedding. It was also very important to us that all of our vendors felt like friends at our wedding. Business Time understood the assignment. Every meeting we had with Mark felt like we were catching up with an old friend. Their music selections were spot on. We did not leave the dance floor once the entire night. They even had us singing along during dinner. They were part of our amazing vendor dream team helped create the perfect wedding day. Hire them right this minute. Thank you Business Time - you are the best!

Business Time was the BEST decision we made when planning our wedding! It was really important to us to find a band that represented us and our unique style, and they delivered 120%. Aside from eating dinner, the only other time I sat down all night was to change my shoes because my feet hurt from dancing so hard. No surprise, they were also a HUGE hit with our guests. One guest described them as "my new favorite wedding band - actually, my new favorite BAND!" Another guest said, "I want to follow them on tour!" What's special about Business Time is they bring the party & get people on the dance floor but also play a selection of songs that you don't get to hear at your average wedding, but at the same time are familiar, fun and nostalgic for guests. Mark was also a true pleasure to work with from start to finish. I could not recommend them more!

Truly "the best ever"!!! I knew I was going to have Business Time play at my wedding the first time I ever heard them play too many years back to count. Mark always stayed on top of everything and gave me suggestions for ceremony music when I didn't know where to start. Guests of all ages at our wedding were raving about the band and some of our guests had never been to a wedding with a live band. If you want to have the best day of your life, have your guests never leave the dance floor, and have the best hype team/talented performers--- you know who to hire!!! Thank you Mark, Zach, Brendan and the rest of the squad for knocking it out of the park!

Wow. I don’t think there are enough characters in this little box to fit how much of an amazing experience we had with Business Time. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, they were so incredibly kind, patient, professional, and creative. They met every single expectation we had.. and then some! Everyone at our wedding told us how much fun the band was, and many asked for their name so they could use them at their weddings. The talent this group has is unreal. It felt like we had our own private concert at our wedding - I didn’t leave the dance floor once! They truly catered to all generations and everyone has a blast. We feel so truly lucky to have had this amazing band at our wedding!

Truly the best decision we made for our wedding. These guys were so nice, so easy to work with, and made our wedding SO fun. They had every single person, all ages, dancing for the entirety of our wedding night. If you're looking to have a live band for your wedding, Business Time is TRULY the best!!

Our wedding was over a month ago and people are STILL talking about how amazing Business Time was! They are an amazingly talented and genuine group of musicians. We could not have imagined our day any other way without them there! From the audio work during the ceremony to the cocktail hour, emcee work, and live performance, they went above and beyond our expectations!

Hands down the best decision we made for our whole wedding! You could not have a better band play at your wedding!! They are the nicest, most accommodating, thoughtful, and TALENTED group. There wasn’t a single moment for our entire wedding that the dance floor wasn’t absolutely packed! They made our special day, the MOST special day either of us have ever had. Still can’t stop smiling thinking of how happy all of our guests were dancing to their music! I could not recommend them more to anyone that wants a band to perform at their wedding. Once you find these guys while searching for a wedding band, there is no need to look any further. You have found the most perfect one. 5/5 stars does not even do them justice.

We are so glad that we hired Business Time for our wedding band! From the moment we reached out to them, Mark was always very prompt and informative in responses, and showed that they truly cared about making sure our wedding was a everything that was hoped for. We continue to hear from family and friends how fun and lively the music for our wedding was. We can not recommend Business Time enough!

Book Business Time! To say these guys are incredible would be an understatement. As soon as we started looking for bands, we found Business Time and knew they were it. During the planning process, so they were to quick to respond and so helpful in every aspect. They took care of so much I didn't have to worry about a thing. Our guests were on the dance floor the whole entire night and everyone is still raving about them. It was the MOST fun and they made our day as perfect as it was!

Wow. These guys are amazing! They were easy/pleasant to work with, ran a tight ship on our wedding night, and absolutely rocked it! There were a lot of people who hadn’t attended a wedding with live music (including myself) and many were skeptical of what it would be like. But after experiencing Business Time I can assure you that all of the skeptics will either be booking Business Time for their wedding or wishing they had! I may be biased, but their setlist was perfect and there wasn’t a moment when people weren’t tearing it up on the dance floor. If you are thinking about going with a band for your wedding - stop thinking about it and just book these guys. You WILL NOT regret it!

Where do I even begin?! Working with Business Time was easily one of the best decisions we could have ever made when selecting a band for our wedding. They were super professional and incredibly talented! From start to finish, any questions that I had were answered promptly and I could always count on them to help as we navigated the wedding planning process. We still get compliments from our guests about Business Time and how incredible they were. We are so grateful! If you are looking for an amazing band, honestly look no further! I cannot say enough good things!

Do not second guess booking Business Time Rock! Out of all the many selections we made, this was by far the best one. We first contacted the band in June 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Mark immediately responded with their availability and assured us that they would treat us well and provide flexibility during these uncertain times. We were very fortunate when we could have our wedding as planned in October 2021, and Business Time Rock did not disappoint. From the setlist to the MC-ing and everything in between, everyone had the time of our lives! The dance floor was packed all night. They played straight hit after hit. We had friends, cousins, aunts, and uncles across all different ages that said Mark and the crew were the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. We've been to many weddings with bands over the years, and these guys are top-notch. A few months later, we still have guests reaching out to us saying how much fun they had. Anyone considering should contact Mark ASAP before they get booked!

Mark and the gang were the absolute best decision we could have made when planning our wedding. They were SO professional yet casual to work with. They really know their stuff and were able to guide us by asking questions about logistics we wouldn't have thought of. The communication leading up to our wedding was amazing and they even stepped in to MC our dinner without even saying to me "hey lady, you forgot something" (DIY wedding, no coordinator, oops!) Nobody got off the dance floor the entire night and people are still raving about how we had the best wedding they had ever been to. We can't wait to catch Business Time again at a local venue. Thank you guys so much!!

The greatest wedding band of all time. I can't tell you how many guests at our wedding told us that it was the best wedding they ever went to, and Business Time was everyone's favorite part. From the time we finished eating until the house lights went up, I don't think we stopped dancing!! Business Time was incredibly professional and so easy to work with, including being very flexible with multiple COVID reschedules. These guys are the best people and musicians and are worth every penny. Book them, you won't regret it!!

Business Time jumped out to me right away when I began searching for wedding bands, and booking them was one of the best decisions we ever made. Their style was exactly what I was looking for in a band. Their setlist is perfect and can entertain guests of any age. So many of my guests told me how amazing the band was and asked where I found them. Two of my brothers play guitar, and the band let them come up and play a couple Oasis songs with them, which was one of the highlights of the evening. They also even busted out Metallica's cover of Whiskey in the Jar for us, in honor of my love of Irish music and my husband's metal side. I never thought I'd hear something like that at my wedding, but they made it happen and it was perfect. I only wish I could go back to my wedding as a guest and experience the band without all the running around that inevitably happens when you're the one getting married. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone I know.

Business Time literally made our wedding. Every guest could not stop raving about the band and how awesome they were!!! They are incredibly professional and go above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect. Our dream was to dance the night away at our wedding and Business Time made sure that would happen. Highly recommended!!!

Cannot recommend these guys enough. In the lead up to the wedding, they were extremely responsive, friendly, and accommodating through our postponement of the original date due to covid. At the wedding itself, they sounded amazing and kept the party going strong the whole time. They mixed up genres and eras to play something for everyone, and if you are a fan of late 90s/ mid 2000s pop/rock in particular you found the right band. They learned Rock Lobster for us and even played it a second time on request!

I am not exaggerating when I say that ALL of our guests RAVED about how awesome our band was. Business Time put on an amazing show that kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. They are not your typical wedding band in the best way, and brought the party to life with both the old standards for some of our older guests but also adding in some less typical hits (like Yellowcard) that people went absolutely nuts for. They even convinced our wedding planner to join them to sing "Party in the USA", which was amazing! Our venue was outside and our dance floor was on the slightest of inclines and had literally slid down the hill by the end of the night from all the dancing and jumping around. On top of putting on a great show, they are consummate professionals and made the process of hiring them simple and straight forward. Mark is very organized, easy to get in touch with and responds promptly. He is super easy to work with. When we were first talking with him about potentially hiring the band he took the time to sit on the phone with us and go line by line through the contract and make sure all our questions were answered. By the time we signed the contract, I felt totally comfortable. Their price was also very reasonable compared to a lot of other bands that we considered. I really cannot recommend them strongly enough. If you want a low stress, very professional, fun band who loves what they do and will truly get the party started at your wedding, hire Business Time!

Without a doubt the best decision we made regarding our wedding. Consumate professionals throughout the entire process. If you book them, they will come. Their and ability to adapt to the wedding venue and any changes we needed to make was excellent. These guys are friendly and flexible. As far as the show itself? No contest. Sound mixing was on point. Every instrument and all vocals were crystal clear and filled our big outdoor tent. We wanted a big rock show and that's what we got. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time, including those who typically sit that part out. At the end of the night everyone was exhausted, sweaty, and smiling from ear to ear. Every guest we've seen since the wedding has brought up how much fun they had and how impressive the band was. If you're looking for a wedding band, your search is over.

A band can really make or break a good party and Business Time absolutely crushed it! I could not be happier with our decision to go with them for our wedding day! They have an awesome selection of music, and are able to learn a new song or two for your day. Mark and the crew are incredibly easy to work with and catered to a last minute request of mine. A bunch of guests went out of their way to tell us how great they were, and I could not agree more! Thank you guys so much!

We highly recommend the talented Business Time band! Back in 2019, we saw Business Time perform live at a bar in Boston and we knew we had to book them play at our wedding asap. They are experts on energizing the crowd and getting the audience out of their seats to sing and dance. We had to postpone our wedding and they were so understanding and helpful in rebooking. For our wedding day, they made the reception so much fun for us and our guests! We received many compliments on how talented the band was. Also, the MC was perfect for engaging the audience and keeping us on schedule.

These guys rock! Easy to work with every step of the way, competitively priced, and (most importantly) brought an incredible energy to our wedding celebration. Extremely talented musicians who know how to amp up a dancefloor. We had people coming up to us during the wedding to rave about the music. If you're looking for a slightly different vibe than the traditional wedding band (although these guys have the range to play literally anything), look no further. Cannot recommend them highly enough. Bonnie & Sam

WOW...Where do we even start?! Hiring Business Time was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. We went and saw the band play a show at the Inn on the Blues in York, Maine back in 2019 and we knew within about 5 minutes that we wanted (*needed*) Business Time to play at our wedding. From the very start, Mark was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were originally supposed to get married in October of 2020, and when we made the difficult decision to postpone to 2021, the band was super understanding, supportive, and made the switch seamless (which we appreciated so much, especially under the circumstances). Fast forward to 2021: Business Time truly went above and beyond to make our day PERFECT. We worked with Mark to select ceremony music that was special and personal to us (piano versions of mostly Beatles songs, which were just amazing). Not only that, Business Time had worked with my dad ahead of time to pull off the BEST surprise: an acoustic / piano version of Landslide during the ceremony. There wasn't a dry eye in the church. Then, the reception! Business Time provided the audio for the introductions, speeches, cake cutting, and first dances--all of which went flawlessly. From there, our wedding was transformed into a full blown dance party. No one left the dancefloor, even during the breaks. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding dance floor they've ever been on. From 80s, to pop-punk, to classic rock, everyone was singing along and dancing literally the entire time. It was described by our guests as "electric." My uncle said it was the best live band he's ever heard. My mom's friends said they've never seen a bride have so much fun at her own wedding (true). All this to say, if you are like us and the music at your wedding is a top priority, book Business Time. You are guaranteed to have the perfect soundtrack to the best day of your life.

The band makes the wedding and these guys made ours the best ever! They were so nice to work with and made our event run flawlessly. The set list was perfect and we couldn’t be happier. We can’t wait to throw another party to have them back!

Mark and the whole Business Time band were truly amazing. Because of the pandemic, we were unable to listen to them play live, but their music that was posted online sold us. They were so easy to work with, and overall all around amazingly nice guys. They are wonderful performers and truly brought our wedding to life. Thank you all so much! We can’t wait to see you guys perform love again hopefully sometime soon!

We can not begin to count the amount of wedding guests who commented on how awesome our wedding band, Business Time, was throughout the evening.  Note we selected Business Time because of their Jimmy Eat World style and immediately jiving with Mark, the band manager, from our first phone conversation.  It was obvious Business Time was going to be easy to work with.  Their genuine excitement for our requested must play songs which included artists such as Death Cab for Cutie, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers, The Beatles, and more was evident in their performance.  They crushed them all, from pump up songs to slow intimate dance songs.  They also have a great ability to read the crowd and adjust the set list to ensure a lively dance party.  This particular gig we're referring to was at Newport Beach House in RI.  Nevertheless we would highly recommend Business Time for your wedding or formal event.

Could not recommend a better band or group of people!!! We were looking for a band that was less about the traditional wedding songs and more about a rock vibe, but who could of course play some specific classic songs. Finding their clean website, simple contract terms, and perfect example set list made us so excited. We met Mark to chat and he made it clear how easy it was going to be to work with them. They can literally do any music and are so professional while being personable and fun. We also went to see them perform live at a bar in Boston: song after song was a banger, they were amazing, and our wedding was the same way. The videos from the wedding make you think you're at a huge concert with everyone singing along and the typical non-dancers making appearances because of the range of songs. Our first dance (Moondance, Van Morrison) and parent dances (For Once in My Life, Stevie Wonder and Classic, MKTO) were also gorgeous and fun. Again, we cannot recommend more - book them!!

Business Time played at our wedding reception in September. I first met the band when they played at my sister’s wedding last year. I knew without a doubt I wanted the band to play at our future wedding. We had such a memorable time with our guests thanks to Business Times great energy, sound, and talent! I can’t say enough about their communication, flexibility, and attention to detail. They are all very passionate about what they do and making sure the experience is exactly what the couple envision for their special day. I would highly recommend Business Time, amazing experience!
