Business Time

truly second to none. These guys were by far the easiest vendor to work with, their song choices were perfect, everyone danced all night long, and they even learned a special song from our high school prom as a surprise, which blew us away! We couldn't be happier!

gh TONS of bands online and looked at many videos, but Business Time stood out as being really authentic and talented, not to mention having a huge song list. When my daughter got off the phone with Tim, she was just raving about how kind helpful he was, and the decision was made. It was the best decision we could have made!!! They took special requests, MC'ed flawlessly, played a variety of music that young and old could enjoy, and really gave such attention to detail. We had a bigger band with horns and several singers and the sound was just INCREDIBLE. I can't say enough about this band!

kept everyone dancing all night! I'm a band leader, and I can say that the musicianship and energy of the performance was *excellent*. Just as important, the band had a great vibe -- they were having fun, which let everyone else have fun! Would hire them again without hesitation!

d and how easy they were to work with. Aside from the ease of working with them, their song choices, stage presence and ability to engage with the guests was remarkable. All of our guests raved about the band! Some even considered breaking their music contracts for their upcoming wedding to book BTE instead. It really shows how amazing of a party it was when there was a full dance floor when the lights turned on at the end of the night, thanks to BTE!

dings, they have seen what works well and what doesn't and were able to give us some great advice in regards to the sequence of events (i.e. intros, first dance, speeches, cake cutting, etc). They e-mailed us multiple times to make sure that we were on schedule as far as providing them information like first dance song & music preferences. They also took major initiative in contacting the venue and sorting out logistics with them, which was a huge help. They essentially did all the work, all we had to do was provide our vision and they totally made it happen. We had a few custom requests that they worked hard to accommodate. They even sent someone out to the venue early to make sure that the PA system worked for a portion of the reception that they weren't even responsible for. Truly went above and beyond in terms of preparation. As for the actual reception, these guys absolutely crushed it. They provide emcee service and there were no mistakes. The music was spectacular, we got so many compliments on the band. They definitely were the highlight of our wedding. They were truly the only vendor we booked that we were 100% satisfied with. Their music list is expansive and they did such a great job feeling out the vibe at different points of the evening and responding in kind. They are also willing to learn songs. I'm a deadhead and I have to say that the "Touch of Grey" rendition they learned for us far exceeded my expectations. I did a lot of research on area wedding bands and, amazingly, they were actually on the cheaper side. After seeing them at our reception, I can 100% say that I can't imagine there is a better bang for your buck out there than BTE. If you're booking them for your wedding, please invite me so I can come see them again. In case you are wondering, I booked the 8 piece band and the horn section was totally worth it. I kind of wish I had booked their 11 piece offering.

and were always available to help when we had questions. Tim ran our ceremony music, we had a jazzy cocktail hour, and then they played amazingly fun hits during our reception. Tim kept us on schedule, with dinner, dancing, cake cutting, bouquet toss, etc.. We are also Jewish and they had a top notch set for the hora. So many of our guests told us they were the best wedding band they’d ever seen—and we couldn’t agree more! They were kind, helpful, professional, FUN, and incredibly talented, and they truly made our wedding the amazing night that it was. You’re getting WAY more than you’re paying for with this team (and we thought the pricing was very reasonable!). We’re forever grateful—thank you Business Time Entertainment!

for my husband and I, and we will never forget all that they did. Everyone was raving about them! HIRE THIS BAND!

oved to be exceptional listeners, noting every small detail we shared with them, and offering flexibility to meet our needs at every step. When we shared that we wanted a longer set of traditional Horah music, Tim quickly volunteered to have the band learn news songs not in their repertoire, and then executed them flawlessly. The ceremony and cocktail music was a perfect match to our outdoor garden wedding, a testament to how well Tim and the crew understood the mood and vibe we wanted for our event. At the reception, the band knew exactly what to play and when. For example, we had a moment with sparklers and the band instantly started playing Firework by Katy Perry, which was just perfect. From the moment the first set started the dance floor was packed and stayed that way all night long. For our first dance, the band started off acoustic and then seamlessly transitioned into an upbeat version of the song everyone could dance to. It was also so evident how much fun the band was having, as well as how well they all got along. Throughout the night their sound was well balanced and not at all too loud - it was truly high quality music. You could take our recommendation from us alone, but since the wedding we have been receiving countless compliments on how astounding, engaging, and epic Business Time Entertainment was at our wedding. They were such a major part of our most special night, and we can't thank them enough for the effort, intentionality, and warmth they brought alongside the beautiful music. If we could, we would give them 100 stars! -Emily and Sam

o and compiled a perfect set list!! They even honored my very specific ceremony music request, for which I was incredibly grateful. They also did a wonderful job with the Hora, which was easily my favorite part of the reception. BTE did such a fantastic job that even our elderly guests were on the dance floor. Throughout the night, everyone was dancing and having a blast, and we owe so much of that to Business Time! Thank you guys so much!

he ceremony and cocktail hour as well. Tim and Mandy were extremely helpful leading up to the event with answering questions and providing recommendations as well. We were beyond thrilled with our choice to have them at our wedding. Cannot recommend them enough!!!

hing you did to learn Sam and Emily's processional and Hora music ( which btw, was executed so perfectly!) Everyone had the BEST time--and Business Time Entertainment led the way. We are truly grateful for the ruach (= spirit in Hebrew --which also implies total enthusiasm ) that you brought to Emily and Sam's wedding. When Sam said he found the most wonderful band for the wedding, he was spot on. Thank you again for such a magical night! Warmly, Emily and Sam’s Parents

What more can I say. Thank you Business Time!

all night and had everyone on the dance floor. I mean, everyone. Their song selection was impeccable. I kept thinking they wouldn't be able to top the previous song, and then they would pull out some Spice Girls or Lizzo or 80's rock and everyone would go crazy. They even took some requests from guests on the spot. The singers had amazing voices, they sounded like they could be on a record. And they said the keyboard player used to tour with Britney, which is amazing. The bass player kept coming out to rock on the dance floor which pumped everybody up. And the horns were awesome. Our wedding got rescheduled and now we're having it on the east coast, but this band was so good that they literally have me re-thinking my wedding location! I've never left a review for someone else's vendor before but I had to spread the word- these guys are amazing.

constant uncertainty, we consider ourselves blessed with all of our incredible vendors, and namely Business Time. Easy to communicate with through the entire process, literally right up through the week of the event, and on top of all of our requests and logistics with our planner. We had two separate locations at our venue and they were set and ready to go at both well before the ceremony began. And they just absolutely ROCKED all night. Best of all - they have a sound engineer on site, so all speeches are clear and audible and you're never searching for a microphone. I plan on only getting married once, but I would bring them out again in a second.

ded amazing, brought great energy, and were really responsive to our needs. we were torn between 2 first dance songs... so we mashed them up. People really raved about the band after the wedding and for the price we really got a LOT of band - we wanted a big band and others were double the price. at the end of the day - they really helped make the wedding! can't say enough good things about them

COVID. First off, I did not have an opportunity to see any bands live before choosing one because I live out of state and then COVID hit. So I EXTENSIVELY researched Los Angeles wedding bands and listened to hours and hours of samples from various bands. We loved BTE's sound, they had excellent reviews, and my initial conversation over the phone with Tim and Mandy just made me feel so comfortable with choosing them. We went through date changes, constantly shifting COVID regulations, and they were just SO easy and flexible about all of it. In the end, I was 100% correct in choosing them because they had the dance floor packed all night and did an incredible job emceeing. They were so attentive to every detail and making sure our day was exactly what we hoped for. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music were all just absolutely perfect. Even the DJ sets they played while taking a dinner break were perfect. My father in law, who is very critical of wedding music, loved them just as much as we did and thought the most important part of it all was that they played at a perfect volume to keep those dancing excited, but to allow those taking a dancing break to be able to comfortably chat with one another at their tables. My mother tipped them the night of, and then my husband and I ended up tipping them even more a few days later because they just did such a fantastic job, we couldn't get over it. We owe so much of our special evening to them and I want to shout from the rooftops to ensure other couples have the same opportunity to work with this amazing group! You will not be sorry with your choice.

. Tim and Mandy helped customize everything to meet the needs of our wedding (indoor/outdoor, different and changing numbers of musicians, acoustic ceremony, etc.) and left no stone unturned. The music was on point from the ceremony through to closing time and Tim was a great emcee for the night. We had so much fun dancing and all our friends were asking how we found such a great band. We had such a blast at our wedding and were so glad we picked a band who really brought the energy all day long.

ess free and helped me create a magical event. Plus they were so interactive with my guests and excellent MCs. I cannot sing their praises enough. Thank you BTE for the most unforgettable time.

anning process put us at ease because we knew they had it handled. They are so clearly passionate about the work they do, and it shows in the relationships they build with their couples, not to mention the STELLAR music they produce! Tim worked seamlessly with our other key vendors and made sure everything was on schedule the entire night so that we had nothing to worry about, and could enjoy our special night. ALL the band members were so incredibly talented and full of energy, and made us want to keep dancing. We saw them at a wedding a year before ours, and knew we HAD to have them. They packed our dance floor the entire night and kept the party going all night. To this day, our friends and family (some of whom are professional musicians) cannot stop talking about how great the music was, and how much fun they had dancing the night away with us. We requested some 90’s jams - they nailed them! Our first dance and parent dances - nailed them! My maid-of-honor even secretly contacted them beforehand to play a surprise song for my family, and they blew us away with it. Do yourself a favor and GET BUSINESS TIME!

t them through another friend's wedding. My husband fell in love with their live performance. I actually wasn't keen on having a live band initially due to worry about costs. However, I have zero regrets over having them be apart of our day. Business Time Entertainment was there throughout the whole day - ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they really acted like the glue to keep the day running. Guests, family, and we were blown away with the beautiful music and the priceless ambiance they provided. I was already overwhelmed when they played the perfect music at our ceremony. We weren't at the cocktail hour, but we heard rave reviews. And they kept the momentum going during the reception. They were receptive to what we wanted, and offered their own expertise. The band is friendly and talented, and they even provide MC services. This is all crucial to having a seamless day. My husband and I were so amazed at just how smoothly our day went, and it's in large part due to Business Time Entertainment. Thank you for all the fond memories.

ely trusted his opinion.) From the first meeting they were absolutely wonderful, willing to work with our awkward venue and even helped coordinate a choir for the church. We soon found out Eric and Mandy weren’t actually available for our date but the majority of their band was and they promised they would find great replacements for themselves. This made me so nervous because I really felt like we had clicked with Eric and Mandy. But! There was absolutely no need to feel nervous. Their replacements were INCREDIBLE! The band rocked all night long. Every guest commented on how amazing they were. The crowd danced all night thanks to the amazing band. The lead singers were gorgeous, enthusiastic, and spectacular. I know it must sound like I’m exaggerating but I’m genuinely not. The venue was awkward and a challenging setting to get everyone on their feet but BTE had no problems with that. They were in tune with the crowd’s mood, happy to coordinate with the traditional lebanese band we hired, and quickly learned last minute songs we requested. I’ve told every friend I know who is planning a wedding to hire BTE. They are the best wedding band I’ve ever seen.

e most incredible bands I’ve seen play and I couldn’t be happier that we were lucky enough to get them for our wedding. We got married on New Year’s Eve 2019 and it was the best night of our lives thanks in large part to this incredible band. It wasn’t only me who thought this, so many of our guests came up to us while the band was playing and told me how unbelievable the band was, before they got back to singing their heads off. In looking for a band to play our wedding, we had 2 main criteria: 1.) Can they put on a good show? 2.) Will they be easy to work with? The answer to both of these questions was an absolutely resounding YES. Business Time went so far above and beyond in satisfying both of these criteria. Musically, they are incredible. They have unreal musical talent, huge sound, great stage presence that gets everybody moving, and a massive set list of amazing songs that they perform flawlessly. Also, I can’t stress enough how amazing they were to work with. For every single request I had, the answer was always “You got it, we will make this happen.” For my own wedding, I had a series of requests: I wanted to sing a song to my wife, to play a song (I’m a guitarist), and to play a song with my wife’s 2 aunts, grandma, and father. They not only happily accommodated all of this, but they even went so far as to help me WRITE the mashup that I wanted to sing (I even took voice lessons from their amazing lead vocalist Mandy, who for the first time in my life actually had me singing well!). They also learned multiple songs for our wedding and then blew everyone away with them. Finally, the band masterfully MC’d our ceremony, introductions, and overall coordination of the wedding. I cannot stress enough how unreal these guys and gals are and how happy you will be to have them play your wedding. My wife and I are already counting the days til we get to see them play again the next time they’re in LA. If you want an incredible band to play your wedding – GET THIS BAND.

the right choice to hire BTE. Communication with Tim was extremely easy throughout the planning process and he always responded promptly to any questions we had. My husband and I aren't really into dancing (to the point where we even considered not having a dance floor!), but we love going to concerts, so we really wanted to have a live band. I can honestly say we had SO much fun dancing on our wedding day and it's because BTE was that good! So many of our guests came up to us throughout the night and complimented on how great the band was. BTE also went along with our "oddball" song selections, provided music for our ceremony, and even learned 3 songs for us that were not part of their song list! When we first contacted BTE about playing at our wedding, they asked us what our top 3 priorities were when it comes to entertainment and we answered: good energy, professionalism, and fun. BTE knocked all 3 out of the park. We couldn't be happier with how our wedding music turned out. Thank you so much Business Time Entertainment!

ces, event itinerary and special requests. The quality of musicians was appreciated by so many! Thank you again for all you did to make sure everything we requested was accommodated! You guys were awesome!

l. I live out of the state I got married in and was very nervous about hiring people I wouldn't be able to meet. Well, I ended up in California for a short period of time and Tim was so accommodating to meet with me at the venue to go over ideas on layout and plans for the big evening. I was immediately impressed with him. The next few months leading to my wedding was full of changes (including last minute changes), and requests that Tim and his team were extremely accommodating to make happen. They even learned a very rare Nat King Cole song for my dad and I to dance to. (I REALLY appreciate that by the way, guys) I had told Tim that there would be no alcohol served at our wedding and that most of the energy would have to come from the band...and boy, did they deliver! Almost immediately, people were dancing and having a great time! Tim, as MC, did great with the layout of the evening and totally went with whatever changes I made last minute. As a bride, I appreciated that so much! My guest were extremely impressed! We danced our tails off. They even let one of our guests join in on the fun and let him take the mic for a song! I have already and will continue to recommend Business Time to anyone and everyone that is in the market for a band. I truly couldn't have imagined our wedding without them! Thank you so much, Tim, Mandy, Emilio, Brian, and Eric. We cant thank you enough!

just how talented and fun Business Time is. The musicianship had everyone raving (just listen to that jaw-dropping rendition of Leon Bridges’ “Beyond”) and, more importantly, dancing. An amazing and diverse song list, from rock to soul to pop, the band members can seemingly play any genre of music, with 3 vocalists that possess incredible ranges. But what equally impressed us was the professionalism. The band learned two songs NOT on its song list, at our request. The members showed up early to make sure everything was set up properly. We can’t rave enough. Our wedding was more fun than we could ever have dreamed, and we will always look back on that day and think of Business Time and the joyful music it provided! Thank you, Business Time, for starting our marriage off with a BANG!

a fun party atmosphere it made for, with guests dancing until the end of the night. The singers were amazing, and the guitarist often came onto the dance floor, which was really fun. Tim was wonderful to work with during the whole process, extremely organized and accommodating with our requests. He did a great job emceeing the wedding as well. BTE also did a lovely job providing the music during our wedding ceremony. Highly recommend BTE for your next event!

pc instruments, with keyboard, guitar, singer, and saxophone player as we wanted a chill and romantic music for our outdoor wedding. Looking back, our wedding day would not be as smooth and beautiful as it was without the help of Tim and the band. Tim was very accommodating and really put us at ease on our big day. Our guests told us how talented the musicians were and they were able to create the vibe we envisioned. Thanks again to Tim and the Business Time crews!!

ding. My mom knew her friend had good musical taste, so we booked them right away. But we were blown away by how much they delivered. For our ceremony they played classical covers of our favorite pop songs (All The Small Things, Everlong, Pompeii, and Get Lucky) that brought our wedding guests to tears. It was magical. Then at the reception, they kept the party going all night. From our first dance to Shallow to the final 1-2 punch of the night with Don't Stop Believin' and Africa, it was all amazing. If you're currently looking for your wedding band, look no further. You found them!

communicative, and SO MUCH FUN. 10/10 would hire again. Maybe I'll throw another party just so I can have an excuse to hire them again!

From the very first conversation, Tim was not only kind and personable, but also an incredible resource for us (especially as we were planning the wedding on our own). They were willing to learn new songs for us, and they were able to accommodate various special requests: from guest performers during the ceremony to shaking up the order of the reception to allowing me to perform with them as a surprise for my bride, they took it all in stride with excellent results. Their set list was stellar, their musicianship was excellent, and all of our guests kept asking us where we found them. Not only did they provide fabulous entertainment, but they were all genuinely wonderful people and added to everyone's enjoyment of the day by clearly having a great time themselves. Thank you to Tim, Mandy, Brian, Emilio, Lawrence, and Eric (and the sound guys!) for doing a wonderful job for us, we can't recommend you highly enough. To you, dear reader, what are you waiting for? Hire these folks already!

. Thank you Tim and Eric!

re!

g the night away. Young and old had a great time.

re perfect. they also knew when to pick it up a bit later in the evening. Tim was on top of the reception way more than I was, making announcements on the food, dessert etc. Details I never thought about. We had the worst storm of the past 30 years the night before/morning of our wedding and they never hesitated to come out (even though others got stuck in the mud!). I was happy to share our special day with them and would highly recommend them for your event.

from their videos that they were talented, but they truly blew us away day-of. By the end of the night I think at least 20 people asked us where we found the band. Everyone LOVED them. Our #1 goal of the wedding was to have everyone dance the whole night, BTE made sure that happened! The dance floor was filled the entire night and the people who weren't dancing were just mesmerized by the performance. They made our entire wedding an event we will never forget. They learned so many songs for us, and nailed them. As soon as Mandy started singing the processional song my eyes welled up with tears. So beautiful. Everything we had hoped for and more. Our coordinator was crazy impressed with how professional they were, and they are so so kind. Just look at all of their paragraph long reviews!!! Ok, I could go on for days but I've got to stop some time. Thank you BTE!!! We loved every minute.

great package. They have a variety of playlist and their lead singers sing really well. I really can’t say that with all bands. They brought the house down and almost everyone was on the dance floor just lovin’ the music and groovin with all their moves. I also love the fact that they are flexible to work with snd is ver accommodating with our requests. Tim followed up on us well enough to make sure that we get the vibe that we want for our reception. And our guests loved them! They all had a great time and mentioned that they were so glad we hired a band because it made a lot of difference. So don’t hold back on this one. People may not remeber the decorations, the venue, or even the favors but they will definitely remember the band. It sould be one of the higlights of their experience on your wedding day because it sure was for us!

o Tim and the band for not only making this an easy process but for BRINGING THE PARTY!!! Please believe me when I say there is no DJ that could bring life to our wedding like BTE did. They were incredible, all ages were on the dance floor enjoying all styles of music. Mandy, you are an incredible singer!! This is not your average wedding band, this is truly a band of extremely talented musicians that influence the whole vibe of the event! I was a bride living in Michigan, with a wedding coordinator based in Chicago, planning a wedding in California. The time zones alone are confusing! Tim was as organized and responsive as you could have possibly wished for. Everything from the initial contact to the day of the event flowed with maximum efficiency. Not once did I feel unsure or worried about a thing - Tim fully understood the importance of BTE's role in our event and what that meant to us. Another thing I appreciated was that they were dressed for the occasion - Mandy wore a gorgeous dress and the guys were dressed in their wedding best! (A minor detail that shows how professional these guys are!) I could go on and on, they are not only incredible musicians but fantastic teammates in the planning process and genuinely caring people! Thank you again!! I will share your name every chance I get!

ns and vocalists that your guests will truly enjoy. In addition to providing great music, Mandy also MC's the wedding reception events and flawlessly follows the timeline with a personal touch that all of our guests just raved about. The best compliment that we can share is that the dance floor was filled to capacity the entire time the band performed during the reception. The band's enthusiasm and obvious close friendship with each other was contagious and it felt like they were part of our family. Simply put...they were the best!!

o they sound great, but Tim, along with everyone else in the band, are the NICEST people to work with. It was so nice interacting with Tim on the days leading up to the wedding. He was so helpful in walking us through the ceremony and guiding us on what we wanted. When it came around to the day of the wedding, everything flowed SO WELL. They were on time, set up and ready to go. All the music from the ceremony to the reception was perfect. We had recorded music along with acoustics and they played everything as it was supposed to. Tim was a GREAT MC as well! He made sure the speeches, dances and cake cutting all flowed well. I was already so impressed with the band by just their personality and how nice it was to work with them, but let me tell you, this band sounds GREAT. We had so many people come up to us during and after the wedding and text us during our honeymoon saying how great the band was. Music is one of the most important parts of a wedding, and they knocked it out of the park. They were SO fun and really made our guests have a blast. All of them are so talented and you can tell they have a fun time doing what they do. Also, all of my vendors said that they were the nicest, best sounding, and fun bands they have ever worked with and will be recommending them to their clients. I am so incredibly grateful that we found Business Time Entertainment for our wedding and SO thankful they were a part of it. They truly are everything you would want in a wedding band, and I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding so incredibly special. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs live entertainment.

nded great and kept the evening flowing smoothly. They deliver on all promises. Their song range is very diverse and were even willing to learn additional special songs for our wedding. Thanks for everything!

r sheer talent and energy. What I want to talk about is all they ways that they went above and beyond. 1) Tim (our point of contact) is a genuine, lovely guy who was very much invested in our day. He came to our venue prior to the wedding with a smile from ear to ear, offering a number of solutions to issues caused by my particularities with the layout for the evening. Then proceeded to nail what he committed to. 2) The band agreed to learn four songs for us, one of which I wanted my dear friend as lead singer. She lives in Australia. They organised Skype calls and then an in person rehearsal with her when she got to LA just prior to the wedding. WHAT COMMITMENT! 3) On top of that, which I was totally unaware of, my Maid of Honor had contacted them privately to learn a song that we had written in high school! They learnt and sung the song, along with all my school friends. How beautiful is that!? 4) The wedding was East meets West as my husband is Lebanese so they had to work alongside Zaffe musicians which they did flawlessly and without complaint. 5) The band members were all beautiful, lovely, passionate people. They were so invested in the day. Their energy was second to none! My bridesmaid saw a couple of them tear up during the speeches, and one lovely guy came to tell me that he was blown away by my vows and was compelled to let me know how special they were. I could go on and on about these guys but words won’t do justice to the happiness I feel thanks to them. Everyone raved about them. They were truly wonderful and I can not recommend them more. I am eternally grateful and will remember these guys forever. THANK YOU!

mend him !

not book a better band for ones wedding. Highly recommend. Thank you!
