If I could leave more than a 5-star review, I would! If you are looking for the absolute most amazing band in the LA area (who travels outside of LA), I've already done your work for you! (You're welcome)!!! lol I spent HOURS looking for the best band that would travel to Arroyo Grande for our son's wedding! Based on alllll the bands I listened to online (and I'm not exaggerating when I say HOURS), none seemed to stack up to Business Time Entertainment, so we went with them...... And couldn't have been more pleased! One guest even said "This was by far the best band I've ever heard at a wedding or other event")! Seriously, Tim & Mandy, you all absolutely killed it!!! Beyond spectacular! I truly hope we have another event so we can hire you again! Thank you for your professionalism and for making the entertainment part of the wedding better than we could have ever imagined! read more

Pretty spectacular. If you need a wedding band you don't need to continue your search past this page. Tim not only handled the party but also took care of all the sound speakers and mics through the whole venue and it was very smooth From the moment we entered the party this band was everything we asked for and more. They know how to keep the people on the dance floor and the dance floor was packed the entire time. We had a younger crowd that brought the energy and BTE delivered great song after great song. Everyone still talking about what a great band we had. Telling my sister to hurry up and get married just to see them perform again. Thank you so much BTE for making wedding day exceptional P.s. if you ever need extra help I know a guy with a guitar read more

Business Time Entertainment was incredible! We couldn't be happier with our choice of band. They brought the energy and just have such incredible talent. Everything from the light acoustics at our ceremony to the big-band Hora was everything we could ask for. Every guest after the wedding was raving about the band and we couldn't agree more. Not only were they perfect day of, but they were so kind, flexible, professional, and wonderful to work with. read more

Highly recommend business time entertainment for your next event! We booked the team for our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) and we are so happy that we did. So many of our guests commented on how talented and high energy the 6 piece band was. Their song list is so extensive - I am confident that they will be able to cater to any type of event you are planning. The next time we want a fun party dance band, we know exactly where to go! read more

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. read more

Let me just say: having this band perform for our wedding was the greatest idea we had! Leading up to the wedding, Tim and the rest of the Business Time Entertainment team were very accommodating and kind through the entire process. We requested different covers of songs we really wanted to hear for our wedding, and it came together flawlessly! On the evening of the reception, our guests could not get off the dance floor! They sounded so amazing, and their energy kept the party going all the way through the end of the night! We absolutely loved having them, and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a great band that will blow the audience away! Thank you all for making our dream wedding even better than we could have imagined. -JandK read more

When my wife and I began planning for our wedding, the one thing we knew we HAD to have was a live band. Totally non-negotiable. Thankfully, our wedding planner referred us to Business Time and boy did they crush it! From our first meeting to the wedding itself, Tim and Mandy were absolute professionals in ensuring the MCing and music perfectly matched our tastes. They also did a wonderful job in accommodating our various requests and came up with creative solutions to ensure all our favorite songs were played. Special shout-out to Tim who regularly took 6am Zoom calls as we planned the wedding from Singapore! And when it came to the party, the band performed magnificently and brought the perfect amount of energy. I lost count of all the guests who came up to my wife and I complimenting the band. Special shoutout to Mandy who was both MC and lead singer of the band! All in all, if you're having your wedding in the LA area, we really can't recommend Business Time Entertainment enough. read more

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. read more

All I can say is...WOW!! These guys are incredible. My wife and I made the very genius decision of hiring Tim and his band for our 10 year anniversary party, and we couldn't have made a better choice. They made our entire party! We are both musicians, so we generally set on the bar on the higher side when it comes to live music. We also had several friends in attendance who are musicians, and all of us were BLOWN AWAY by how great these guys were. And they pull out all the stops. Not only are they fantastic musicians with immense talent, but they are also great performers with excellent sound and lighting. They are the complete package. I'd also like to mention that Tim was super down to earth and very easy to work with. He and his band were very polite and accommodating. They even went the extra mile and learned a song that is special to my wife and I, and we had the pleasure of getting to sing it while the band backed us. If you're trying to decide which band to hire for your next event, do yourself a huge favor: hire them! You won't find a better group of people than these guys. read more

We had Business Time Entertainment MC and perform at our wedding and they were awesome! During cocktail hour, they played jazz and for dancing played a mix of pop, classic rock, and contemporary rock (per our request). The dance floor was packed the entire time and no one wanted to go home at the end of the night. Mandy and Tim are so easy-going and fun to work with. We are so happy that we were able to book them and would highly recommend. read more

Tim, Mandy and the rest of the band are phenomenal! They truly made our wedding amazing with perfectly played variety of music. Even our other vendors were complimenting the music! They were so sweet from the first time we spoke with them, and did everything possible to make our wedding perfect. I highly recommend them and can't thank them enough for how special everything was. They truly made our wedding the perfect memorable event it was! read more

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! read more

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 read more

We hired the full band with horn section for our wedding. Tim is very easy to work with, keeps the process organized, and delivers. We did not have the usual lead singer, but the singers we were assigned that night were simply phenomenal. Our wedding was a truly special night because the band kept the energy going for several hours. If you can fit a live band into your budget, I highly recommend Business Time Entertainment. read more

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 to us was one of the most important parts of our 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 most 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. read more

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. read more

Business Time Entertainment is AMAZING! I hired them for my husband's surprise 50th Birthday Party and they made the night sooo special and wonderful. Tim made it easy from the start and circled back to me to confirm plans before the party. The band was punctual and managed the night smoothly. They read the crowd well and kept the party going with their tremendous range of diverse songs. They are super talented musicians and know their trade well. Neighbors a few houses down that were not invited to the party came down a few days later and said they opened their windows to listen because the music was so great! Our friends and family can't stop talking about the party. Having Business Time as our band made the difference between it being a great party and it being an AWESOME, UNFORGETTABLE party! Thanks Business Time!!! read more

Thank you for coming and performing some great music at my husband's 60th bday party! On time, very professional and played great music!

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 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!!! read more

I've been working with this group for a few years now, we book them for EVERY Company event! All of our guests LOVE them, always the highlight of our events! Business Time Entertainment is just so amazing, they know how to read the energy of the crowd and make our events so much fun. They have become our go-to band! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I love working with this vendors !!!!! They played at my wedding ceremony and everything was perfect !! I highly recommend them !!!! read more

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. read more

Yes yes yes yes YES! These guys are too much fun! I highly suggest working with them. They were fun, responsive, and oh so professional from the moment we first connected. Oh, and they're an absolutely fantastic band that made our wedding a total success with everybody tearing it up all night on the dance floor. I absolutely love this band and hope to have an excuse and big events to work with them again in the future. read more

Tim was wonderful to work with! My friend had seen the band before my son got engaged! She said you have to hire them! As soon as they got engaged I booked them . He was such a joy! There was never an issue! My only negativity was that I didn't know that there was an 11 person band that I could hire. I called him And signed on the dotted line. They were fabulous!!! Everyone had a wonderful time!!! I would hire again in a second! read more

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 we had them there! read more

Note: This is going to be a long review because these guys deserve it. If you're looking for something short and sweet, just take our word for it...they're a 10/10! My husband and I used Business Time Entertainment as our wedding band in July of 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 my husband found Business Time online through wedding wire. 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 with). They are a passionate married couple who loved what they do 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. 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 only a few hours of live music during he reception. Tim is a fantastic MC and planner and made sure the whole evening flowed smoothly. He had met with us and talked on the phone numerous times over the course of the planning stage and even did a site visit since the venue was new to them. 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 awesome and flowed seamlessly. Our guests are still talking about how awesome they were 2 months later. The set list was perfect. They learned music for us too and even surprised us with a few new songs that were right up our alley. I cannot recommend this wedding band enough. They made our day so memorable and special. They are perfect for any celebration. Thank you, Business Time! read more

I first found out about BTE when I was a wedding planner. I recommended their services to my client at the time, but personally never got to see BTE perform live. During the planning process, I found out my high school friend was the guitarist and male vocalist! I was even happier to know my clients booked for their wedding. 2 years later, I'm in a different role, different industry, and part of the planning team for our corporate holiday party. This was the first time we ever did a full planning event offsite so I wanted to bring something unique to the table. I presented the team with BTE, gave them a little background info & they were sold! Excited as I was, a little part of me was worried about the crowd. I mentioned to Tim & Mandy that I was unsure what type of night it would be. At the start of the event, only a handful of people were in the dance room/stage area. Give the guests a few more songs (and drinks) you'll get them on the dance floor, singing with the band, and line dancing to September! Thank you so much, Business Time Entertainment -- you turned a skeptical crowd to the everyone-on-the-dance-floor crowd! You guys are amazing and I will keep recommending you to friends, family, and clients! read more

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! read more

They were wonderful. Very professional, accommodating and made everything really easy for us. Our party guests loved them as well.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 the wedding night 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 were 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. read more

Business Time West played for our Holiday Party and let me say, they turned our holiday dinner into a real party. They were prompt, professional, and above all, FUN! Can't wait to have them play at our future events. Thanks for a wonderful time!! read more

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. read more
