Business Time

I know my daughter wrote a review, but I just have to chime in here to give a rave review. As Mother of the Bride, I was very invested in the music for the evening. We combed through 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!

BTE played at our big family event, and they were fantastic! Very professional, with good communication leading up to the event, and they delivered the oldies our crowd wanted and 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!

BTE exceeded our expectations! From the initial inquiry through weeks after the wedding the band was super easy to communicate and work with! Even other vendors raved about the band 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!

BTE performed at our wedding reception in December. From the outset, they were extremely professional, organized and helpful during the planning phase. Having performed at many weddings, 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.

I would give 6 stars if I could! Business Time Entertainment was incredible!!! They worked with us leading up the the big day to help us with our timeline, gave great suggestions, 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!

They are the absolute best band!! Amazing players and amazing to work with. Tim and Mandy are so kind. They truly bent over backwards to arrange some special moments and surprises for my husband and I, and we will never forget all that they did. Everyone was raving about them! HIRE THIS BAND!

We could not recommend Business Time Entertainment any more highly after working with them for our wedding this summer. From our very first informational meeting, Tim and Mandy proved 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

Business Time absolutely rocked our wedding! I’m a huge classic rock junkie, while my husband is a 90s guy, and we anticipated a big party crowd. Business Time took all of this info 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!

BTE was the star of our wedding! The dance floor was packed all night long with our guests of all ages. They had all of the equipment set up and working perfectly in advance of the 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!!!

Dear Tim and Mandy, What can I say...Thank you SO much for bringing our celebration to life last night--you and your band members were incredible! We are truly grateful for everything 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

Amazing communication, super friendly, easy to work with, and everybody, including us, had a blast at our wedding!! Guests were raving about how great the band and singers sounded. What more can I say. Thank you Business Time!

We saw this band at a friend's wedding this fall and they were SO INCREDIBLE that I had to get on here to write a review. That's how amazing they are. They completely rocked out 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.

Honestly can't say enough about this incredible band that absolutely rocked out wedding in October 2021. Coming out on the other side of the pandemic, after a year of planning and 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.

We spent a lot of time watching videos of wedding bands on here and spoke to a few and went with business time. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. Business Time sounded 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

There just aren't enough wonderful things I can even think of to say about BTE and working with them throughout the absolute insanity that was planning and having a wedding during 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.

I highly recommend Business Time Entertainment for any event! Tim was easy to communicate with and remained extremely flexible through scheduling and rescheduling with the pandemic. 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.

I would absolutely recommend this band. BTE absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. Tim and Mandy were a delight to work with and made the musical part of my planning stress 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.

Choosing Business Time was by one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. Tim and Mandy were so incredibly easy to work with. Their communication with us during the whole planning 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!

My husband and I recently got married this past February. Business Time Entertainment was an integral part of our day and helped make everything go so smoothly. We first heard about 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.

Genuinely..... besides marrying my husband, the best wedding planning decision we made was hiring BTE. We met Eric and Mandy through a great friend (he’s a composer so we definitely 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.

If you’re looking for a band that will melt faces and have everyone at your wedding dancing and singing their hearts out all night, then look no further. Business Time is one of the 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.

Music was very important to us for our wedding and Business Time Entertainment definitely did not disappoint! From the moment we had our first video chat with Tim, we knew we made 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!

Thank you for helping us create an amazing vibe for our Anniversary Event! We were able to communicate with you months prior through email and get immediate responses on song choices, 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!

Oh man, there is SO much to say about this amazing group of talented musicians! They literally MADE my wedding. Months prior to the big day, I was communicating with Tim via email. 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!

BUSINESS TIME puts on a FIRST-RATE PARTY! My fiancé (now wife) and I hired Business Time to play our wedding. The band came well recommended to us, but we could have never dreamed 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!

We hired Business Time Entertainment for our wedding, and they gave an incredible performance! We got so many compliments from wedding guests about how great the band was and what 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!

My now husband and I are so grateful that we ran into Business Time Entertainment through the knot and after a few conversations with Tim, we decided to book them! We booked the 4 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!!

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better band to perform at our wedding. A family friend of ours had recommended Business Time Entertainment after she saw them at another wedding. 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!

I put my husband in charge of one thing for our wedding- finding an amazing live band. He found Business Time Entertainment and he knocked it out of the park! They were so nice, so 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!

My wife and I got married three days ago, and one of the best decisions we made was contacting Business Time Entertainment and eventually hiring them to be the band at our wedding. 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!

I am a wedding planner and let me say Business Time Entertainment is an amazing group of people to work with. Not only are they a great band, they are super on top of every detail. Thank you Tim and Eric!

We had so much fun with Business Time Entertainment performing at our wedding! They are talented, full of energy, and made the reception so much fun. We are so glad we had them there!

They were wonderful. Great to work with, accommodating and very professional. We loved that they have a horn section and most of all, they had our party guests on their feet dancing the night away. Young and old had a great time.

A friend of ours recommended Business Time Entertainment and I'm so grateful. They were perfect. the music was perfect for our small wedding. We wanted a mellow vibe and they were 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.

I wish we could give extra stars!! BTE performed at our wedding this past weekend and I couldn't wait to write a review! I don't want any other couple to miss out on them. We knew 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.

I can say a band is a must because it elevates the party to a whole different level and we are so happy we hired BTE! They also DJ in between and hosts the reception so they were a 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!

THE BEST EVER! Please let me tell you right now - book BTE for your event. We recently had the pleasure of having BTE perform at our wedding on 9/28/2018. I am eternally grateful to 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!

If you want the best live band ever for your wedding reception, select Business Time Entertainment. Owners Tim and Mandy Lillis have assembled a great group of professional musicians 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!!

One of the most stressful parts of planning my wedding was trying to find a band that my fiancé and I both liked. Business Time Entertainment was literally a God send. Not only do 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.

Professional, punctual, patient and so talented! What more could you want?! Tim's communication was on point from day one and follows through until the end. The band looked and sounded 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!

Ok, let’s start by saying the obvious - these guys are AMAZING musicians! But I am not going to go on too much about that because you just need to look at their website to see their 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!

Tim played keyboard on my wedding ceremony ! I loved working with him. Communication was clear. He had excellent performance. He also helped me with music selection. I highly recommend him !

They were really great beyond all expectation on all fronts. From the quotation to the planning for our wedding music to the day of the event, Tim and team were perfect. One could not book a better band for ones wedding. Highly recommend. Thank you!

I can not say enough about these wonderful musicians! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for making our event a huge success! Mandy, Tim and the rest of the gang were top-notch and really killed it at my son's wedding over the Memorial weekend! Everyone had a great time on the dance floor and Mandy did a beautiful job emceeing the event. We got so many compliments from our guests on how much fun they had on the dance floor. From the initial showcase demonstration to their final performance, Tim worked with the wedding couple to ensure that all the little details (equipment set up, music selection, program format, and I am sure...a few words of wisdom) were taken care of so the kid's could just enjoy the evening...and boy did they!! One of the best things about this band is that they are a husband and wife team who absolutely love their job and it shows in their professionalism, attention to detail and caring attitude. You are not hiring a band thru a broker and paying exhorbitant fees. We ended up hiring the band with the horn section (7 piece) which really added a lot of depth to the sound and believe me, they are extremely reasonable compared to other bands with that number of musicians. I would highly recommend Business Time to anyone...you can not go wrong! We will definitely use them again if there is ever an occasion we need a band.

Our goal was to throw a rocking party and have guests walk away having had an amazing time. We wanted to have energy, dancing, and a magical feel to the night, but we also wanted to have a smoothly run event, as stress-free as possible, and to work with professionals. Business Time Entertainment was all of this and more - they made our wedding day beyond special, and we would recommend them to anyone - no questions asked. From day 1, Tim was a professional. His communication was rapid, detail-oriented, and fun. From our first skype chat to walking through the venue, Tim was flexible, on-time, and insightful. He looked through our venue (which has some unique setups with multiple floors, outdoor music spaces) to make sure that his crew could easily setup and perform. We were always secure in the knowledge that the leadership of the band was organized and diligent. On the day of the wedding, though, the real magic began. Business Time blew us away on so many levels. We contracted for a 7-piece band, with live music during our ceremony and reception happy hour as well. The band went above and beyond to please us and make our day special - the guitarrist during the ceremony was outstanding. Our first dance was during our happy hour reception outside, and the band surprised us with a full arrangement to our first dance song (How Long Will I Love You, Ellie Goulding) which we weren't expecting - it was a completely magical moment. They also learned two Bruce Springsteen songs at my request for the post-dinner dancing - and they absolutely killed it. Their rendition of Born to Run, which not only blew me away that they learned it for me, blew me away by their energy and commitment. Their saxophonist learned a solo, and it made the night. They played for 3 full sets, and by the end the dance floor was jammed with people - they got us flying on Africa by Toto, as everyone lifted us to dance on the ceiling. They even surprised us by videoing some of the songs, and shared the videos with us after - we were blown away by their dedication to our event. Overall, the one thing we really wanted out of our band was to just have a good time. We haven't stopped getting compliments from our guests on how much fun the band and overall event was - Business Time Entertainment definitely brought our wedding to the next level, and for that we are eternally grateful. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody.

I cannot say enough how highly I think of this band! I hired them for my 60th birthday party in Palm Desert & I am telling you: everyone danced non-stop, they were fantastic! Their repertoire is huge; they play a large list of contemporary top 40 hits as well as great favorites from the past. They are affordable - and if you can afford it, hire the horn section for a big sound. The band will bring a light show along that will make your party pop. No need to look further: book this band!

I LOVED working with these guys. From the first time we chatted to the big night, they were delightful to talk with, accommodating, and put on a heck of a show. Some of my favorite moments of the entire wedding were dancing and enjoying their music! They do awesome jobs of all sorts of covers - classics and moderns - that will keep you and your guests moving. They also were really helpful to keep the schedule of toasts and other happenings on track the day of the wedding, which helped me relax even more and enjoy every moment of it. I'm a BIG fan of these guys. If you get the opportunity to book 'em - do it!

When my friend told me she booked a live band for her wedding reception, I was skeptical. I have had mixed experiences. However, as soon as Business Time started playing, all of my doubts disappeared! This band had a great music selection that kept the party going and did a great job providing variety. The vocalists were phenomenal and their voices complimented each other. All of the musicians were professional and I could tell they loved what they were doing. I had a chance to talk to several of the band members and they were so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Business Time for any bride and groom that would like to have a fun reception party with great music!

I have one word for Business Time. PHENOMENAL!! I think it speaks volumes that as a guest at the reception I had to come leave a review about how professional and talented and ORGANIZED this band is!! From start to finish the band members were full of energy and kept the party running smoothly! I am not much of a dancer but they were so engaging and funny that they had everyone out of their seats and having the time of our lives. The female vocalist should be on American Idol or something! What a fun time!!

I was fortunate to get to see Mandy and Tim perform in the winter of 2017. They are two of the most talented performers I have ever seen live. Mandy is such a gifted vocalist with such a positive vibe and brings joy to anyone fortunate enough to listen to her. Tim is one of the most talented pianists I have heard play. They have both worked with the top musicians in the industry. I highly recommend snagging them. They will be such a positive and entertaining addition to your wedding or any event.

I saw Mandy and Tim as a duo first, and they were amazing. The band didn't disappoint--they're a group of great musicians! They had a great selection of music and really got the crowd moving. We had a great time, would hire for my own wedding or other event (was a guest).

this is an absolutely superb band, better than we could have even hoped for ... outstanding musicians, and amazing singers. i hope we can hear them again, soon !

The band was fantastic to work with!! They were organized, detail oriented, and friendly. It honestly made a world of difference on the day of my wedding to just trust that they would do a great job!! I would highly recommend hiring them for your wedding.

Thank you so much guys for an amazing party, our guests were so happy and you kept the energy levels at the maximum it's like you were reading the guests and knew when to play the perfect song...my daughter Karla and her husband Tim renewed their vows on their 10 year anniversary at EZE Farm in Fillmore and aside from the perfect place to celebrate you guys were also perfect from punctuality performance and set list even 90 years old Grandma was dancing the night away:-) We will need to find another reason to celebrate soon and hire you guys again since from the booking to the day of the party everything was seamless. Thank you Tim, Mandy and the rest of the band members for being a big part of Karla's and Tim's big day!!!

I don't even know if I have the words sufficient enough to explain our appreciation for what Tim and his team did to our wedding. They are very kind and professional. We contracted Business Time Entertainment to inquire about a live band for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They did an awesome job with the processional and recessional songs. Our cocktail hour is full of fun and entertainment when they played all the songs we've selected. We are getting a lot of compliments with our song selection and the band itself. We hired them because we are basically on a tight budget. They have the most reasonable price out of all the companies we inquired. I highly recommend Business Time Entertainment for your wedding and other events need. You will not regret it.

Note: This is going to be a long review because these guys deserve it. if you're looking for something short, just take our word for it...they're a 10/10. My wife and I used Business Time Ent. as our wedding band this past July (2017). It was a 200 person wedding in Los Angeles and majority of our family members and friends were flying in from out of town. Having live music was really important for us. We didn't have the luxury of a wedding planner or referrals for a ton of bands so we found Business Time online through The Knot. We were attracted to their long set list of great music. After corresponding via email/phone/text we met Tim and Mandy for coffee (note: Tim was so easy to communicate and coordinate with). They were a passionate married couple who loved what they did and they were extremely warm and generous with their time. A few weeks later, we were able to see/meet the rest of the band when they performed a showcase. This was very important for us since the band just moved to Los Angeles fairly recently. They blew us away with their talent and it was clear that they had a genuine love for music...so we booked them! Preparation was key for us since our venue only gave us a few hours of live music during the reception. Tim is a fantastic MC and planner so don't worry about the flow of the reception. He had met with us and talked on the phone numerous times over the course of the planning stage, he and Mandy even did a walk thru of the venue to figure out their set up and our needs. Tim's attention to detail and professionalism made us feel very comfortable leading up to the event. Now for the wedding day. The band was everything we wanted them to be. They brought in the brass musicians, extra singers...you name it. We wanted a harpist for our ceremony...they knew one since they're an extremely connected band and know good talent given their education in music. So, if you want a big band or a small band, they have you covered. Everyone was dancing! The music was fantastic and flowed seamlessly. The set list was perfect. They learned music for us too, so if there's a special song you'd like them to play, ask them...they'll learn it and master it. They even threw in a few fun surprises we loved! We cannot recommend these guys/gals enough. They made our day so memorable and special. Our family and friends are still talking about how awesome they are! Thank you, Business Time!

BTW was amazing! So many guests commented on how much fun they had with the band playing their favorite songs. Tim sat down with us and spoke with us multiple times about what we wanted from them and delivered on every request. They also greatly helped out with the set list because there was no way my wife and I were going to be able to choose the songs to play vs not play. We had so much fun on our special day and you will too if you choose to work with Business Time West!

I can't thank BTW enough for making our daughter and son-in-law's night of love and celebration BEYOND special. As we told Tim, the attentiveness with which he treated every question, request, and concern during the year leading up to May 28 made all the difference to us. We were confident that BTW was not only going to be there but that they also understood how much all of this meant to us. That is priceless. The band and its music was awesome. They kept everyone on their feet and no one was ready to leave when it was all over! We have gotten many, many compliments about the night, and it was BTW who kept the spirit alive.

Oh man these guys are awesome! We hired Business Time West to play at a big fundraiser our business was hosting and it could not have gone better. Super friendly and professional musicians with some serious talent. They even let me jump in and take a few pictures with their instruments!!! I would give them a 6 if I could!

Business Time West is equally professional as they are talented. I hired them to perform at a fundraiser and they knocked it out of the park. Everyone loved the music and they engaged with our guests. I would hire them for any event in the future and would enjoy just watching them perform in general. Great band and people to work with!

I saw Business Time West perform not too long ago and they were AWESOME! They are fun, entertaining, energetic, and very talented! Mandy has such a beautiful voice! I would recommend them to anyone who has an event coming up, you wont be disappointed!! I will definitely be using them in the future!

My fiance and I saw Business Time West at a friend's wedding this past summer and they were FANTASTIC! They had so much energy and kept the dance floor packed throughout the evening. I was also really impressed with how they MC'd the event and kept everything running smoothly.

Tim was awesome to work with and our ceremony musician Miles killed it! We had a Beatles theme and he played every song beautifully!!! I would recommend Business Time West and will definitely keep them in mind for future events!

Tim and the band are absolutely amazing. My wife and I saw them perform at a friend's wedding and asked them to play at ours. They are extremely talented and keep the crowd dancing the whole night. Tim was easy to work with and very organized. Overall, I would recommend them over and over again.

Business Time West was AMAZING!
