Absolutely Incredible – Worth Every Penny!
Cover Story Entertainment absolutely made our wedding. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and just plain fantastic. The entire band brought such great energy, and their ability to read the room and shift the vibe from high-energy dance hits to more intimate moments was spot on.
The band leader and singer, Alec, was not only incredibly talented but also extremely well-organized and accommodating. They were incredibly thoughtful throughout, even helping coordinate a special moment where I joined them on stage to play guitar. It all went so smoothly and added a really personal touch to the evening that made the day even more meaningful for both my wife and me.
Special shoutout to Jack, their phenomenal guitarist, who improvised some Jimi Hendrix during the reception after my wife mentioned I was a fan. That kind of attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond truly made the night feel special.
We’re beyond grateful to have found such a talented, thoughtful, and professional band. Our guests are still raving about the music and how fun the night was. I’d recommend Cover Story Entertainment to anyone looking for top-tier wedding entertainment. Truly worth every penny.

08/30/25 If you're looking for unforgettable, authentic entertainment from start to finish, Cover Story Entertainment is it. They absolutely killed it at our wedding! From the first note to the final encore, they had every guest on their feet, dancing, singing, and cheering for more. The energy was electric, the talent was unreal, and the vibe was everything we dreamed of.
We are beyond thankful for CSE. They didn’t just play music, they created moments. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the band was, and we couldn’t agree more. If you want your wedding to be legendary, hire Cover Story Entertainment. You won’t regret it!!!

Cover Story Entertainment was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Leading up to our wedding, the team was so responsive, professional, and easy to work with; always available to answer any questions and help fine-tune the details to make sure everything went smoothly. On the big day, they exceeded every expectation. They arrived on time, played all of the songs we had hoped for, and perfectly matched the energy and vibe of our guests. The dance floor was packed all night long, and we’re still hearing from friends and family about how amazing the band was! They truly brought our celebration to life and made the night unforgettable.

We were blown away by the Cover Story! They were very professional with their set up for the ceremony and had very clear audio for the ceremony and speeches. During the reception, the band was absurdly talented! They were engaging with their energy and took song requests from the crowd. The acoustic guitar during cocktail hour was a nice touch and they even played a dinner set. We would highly recommend the Cover Story for your wedding!

I can't say enough good things about hiring Cover Story. They were everything we were hoping they would be when we selected them.
They were communicative, flexible, and kept the dance floor going from first song to last. Alec and the band did a nice job of reading the room while also accommodating some special requests.
Couldn't imagine our wedding without Cover Story being at the middle of it.

If you're looking for a band rather than a DJ to play at your wedding, Cover Story Entertainment is the best. All of my friends and family said that our wedding was the most fun and that the band was great. No one left the dance floor all night. They are very professional and thorough when it comes to making sure everything is perfect for your wedding day. I was willing to spend more on a band because I wanted myself and my guests to have a great time!

The HIGHLIGHT of our wedding was Cover Story! All night people were coming up to us and asking where we found them. They were all so talented, fun, organized, and extremely professional. The owner Chris was great to work with as well. The best decision we made for our November 2024 wedding was going with a Cover Story band. Me and my husband are metalheads so we had a few song requests outside of their set list, but they learned and performed the acoustic covers phenomenally. The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night and they were a huge part of making our wedding as perfect as it was. If you’re debating if the extra cost for a band is worth it, I can tell you it 1000% is - and Cover Story was worth every penny!

If you want a wedding band that brings the party, look no further! This group of young, fun, and super lively musicians totally transformed our wedding day. From start to finish, they kept everyone on their feet—dancing, singing along, and just having a blast. It wasn’t just about the music, though; it was the energy they brought that made the night unforgettable.
The planning process was a breeze. Chris and Elena are absolute gems—kind, organized, and so detail-oriented. They made sure everything was seamless, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. It felt less like planning with a vendor and more like working with friends who genuinely care about making your day perfect.
Honestly, if we could somehow relive that day just to bring back the incredible vibe they created, we would in a heartbeat. If you want an electric atmosphere that keeps the dance floor packed all night long, don’t hesitate to book them. We can’t recommend them enough!

Wedding advice: hire Cover Story Entertainment!
We worked with CSE for our July wedding. We went with the ceremony package, 6-piece band as well as their uplighting and photo booth services. Our experience with CSE from start to finish was 10/10. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, communicative, and responsive. They always answered all of our questions (and I asked many!)
Alec, Alex, Savannah, and the rest of the band members rocked it all night. One of the first things guests commented on about our wedding was how amazing the band was. One of our guests commented that they wish they could cancel their DJ and fly CSE to their wedding in Portugal because they loved them so much. Extremely talented musicians for an awesome price, which make a huge difference when wedding planning.
When we reflect on our wedding day, Cover Story is a huge part of what made it such a memorable night.

Selecting Cover Story Entertainment was one of the best wedding decisions we made! We knew we wanted a high energy band, and Cover Story fits this description and more. Working with them was a breeze - they are incredible organized and professional, and make it very clear what is required from you to help plan. Their set list is extremely long, and you have the ability to help curate your musical vibe through your must plays and guidance to the band. During the event, they are extremely high-energy and really made our dance floor the best time ever

I wanted to express my absolute amazement at the fantastic job Phil and the Cover Story Entertainment team did during our Saturday night event. The high-energy music had everyone on their feet, and we received countless compliments from our guests about how phenomenal the band was. We specifically asked for no slow songs for our wedding. At least a dozen people asked us how we managed to find such a fantastic group!
For the music logistics, they did play a few songs on our do-not-play list (not the end of the world). I also said multiple times there was only one song we really cared they played, and then they didn't end up playing it. Lastly, for the father/daughter dance, they only told us 5 minutes before the dance that they couldn't play the song live, which would be played over a loudspeaker.
I only had some minor feedback on logistics specific to our venue, which CSE was responsive to. The only part I needed help with during the process was filling out their intake form; it was difficult to read/follow - I suggested the CSE team hire someone with a communications or user experience background to review it and update the form for future clients.
Overall, it was a 5/5 experience since the band brought so much energy to the party!

We had an amazing experience with Cover Story Entertainment from initial planning to the wedding reception. Highly recommend! Nikki and the Cover Story band kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. Our guests raved about the phenonomenal song selection, talent and all-around great energy the band provided. They were pros at reading the room and engaging our guests. Chris and Elena are incredibly organized, responsive and a pleasure to work with. As a great preview, we enjoyed watching one of bands perform at Bell and Hand. The wedding planner document was amazing and ensured all details were confirmed and accounted for in advance. In addition to the reception, the band did a fantastic job with ceremony accoustics and AV support, MC'ing as well as providing uplighting. We will forever be grateful for the experience Cover Story provided.

I can't recommend Cover Story enough. Chris was great to work with and was always super responsive when we had any questions, we definitely felt like we were in good hands. So important when planning a wedding as it is stressful!!
As far as the actual wedding day Linda and her band KILLED IT. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the dance floor was packed all night long. Everyone was talking about how sore they were the next day from all of the dancing. Any time I'd consider taking a break they'd start playing another hit and I'd be right back on the dance floor. They totally made the wedding and we couldn't be happier.

It is so apparent how much he cares about each one of his clients from all the time & effort he puts in.
Savannah & Ed and the band were all AMAZING and had everybody dancing the whole night. Our guests were (and still are) raving about how incredible they were.

What an awesome time! This crew rocked out and were very nice to work with. As you can see in the pictures, people on the dance floor were having a blast, despite the room being very hot!
I was immediately impressed with the voice of the singer, and there were moments on the dance floor where each of the member's individual talents shined through. There were times where I watched each person rocking on their instrument.
There was one issue that I didn't notice - their female singer got sick and couldn't show - but it ended up allowing for something really cool and special to happen. One of our guests is a female singer in a different band and so she asked the band during their break if she could do a few songs (my wife LOVES Taylor Swift). The band was accommodating to that request and it will be a fun part of our wedding that everyone will remember. Chris was also accommodating in adjusting our price due to the fact that one of the band members was unable to make it.
Overall, great people to work with and very talented. Thanks for the fun vibes and special memories!

WE LOVE THIS BAND & DJ! Loved working with Chris, Elana, Alex prior to our wedding - they were each so professional, organized, and kind throughout the process, and we loved that they matched our level of excitement for our July 8 wedding in Vermont. They were so accommodating with some changes we wanted to make. Loved the ceremony music, it was so well done and seamless. Reception music was incredible. My husband who is more musically inclined than I am was especially impressed with every single one of the performers saying they all had different moments where they shined. We were truly blown away by their skillset and the way they nailed our preferences + the crowd's energy. It was exactly what we envisioned with a huge party and packed dance floor all night. My parents complimented their noise level too, apparently something they have had issues with at other weddings but said Cover Story's was perfect. Thank you Cover Story for making our special day even better with your talents! Highly recommend this amazing group!!

We booked Cover Story for our wedding this month and they were incredible. We opted for a 6-person band, including male and female vocalists, guitar, drums, keyboard, and bass, which played the reception. We also had one musician to perform the ceremony music and two musicians for the cocktail hour. We definitely appreciated opting for the 6-piece as the music was much more complete and they were able to play a lot of songs.
We submitted a list of songs we wanted to hear as well as those we didn't. From those we wanted to hear, we heard practically everything we requested. From Smells Like Teen Spirit, which brought down the house, to Mr. Brightside, which always brings everyone running to the dance floor, we thoroughly enjoyed the performance. They even learned a few songs for us that we had requested, which were all executed perfectly. When not playing live music, so they could take their required breaks, they had a DJ who also knew how to keep the party going strong.
Thinking back on the night, I honestly cannot recall a time where the dance floor was not packed with guests. Throughout the entirety of the wedding, friends and family were coming up to my wife and I to ask who the band was, as they were putting on such a great show. The range in music they were able to play also allowed for guests of all ages to enjoy at least a few songs and get out on the dance floor.
I would recommend Cover Story to anyone who is looking for a great all around band for their wedding.

We hired the five piece band for our wedding in November 2022 and they were amazing!!! Can’t recommend cover story enough. Chris and Elena are super responsive and are very easy to work with. Danielle and Joey are great singers! They were well prepared for our special day and kept the dance floor packed all night (even when they took their break, we had a full floor with the dj set that they had). The one requirement I really had was to make sure the bride (myself) was on the dance floor when they played “dancing queen” they made sure I was around for it and they brought the energy. We had guests telling us that it was one of the best weddings that they have attended and I know this can be attributed to the band keeping the dance floor packed! Thank you for everything!!!!

Going with a band was one of the best decisions & Cover Story did not disappoint! Very talented group and they picked up quickly the style of music we preferred based off of our requests and crowd responses, which kept the dancing going. The DJ sets between band sets were better than we ever expected, too!

We had this company for our wedding and they did NOT disappoint!!! We went with both a live band and DJ - the dance floor was packed all night long! They did an amazing job with the ceremony music as well as an acoustic set for the cocktail hour. Chris was in touch with us for every detail and we could not have asked for a better person to see the entertainment through from beginning to end! 10/10.

BEST BAND, wedding photography, photobooth, lighting and videography services around! Chris and his team are so organized and amazing!! Our guests could not stop talking about our band and how much fun they had in the photo booth! My husband and one of our friends also loved singing and playing guitar with the band! You made our wedding extremely personalized and special! Ling and Ty are sooo great at photography and videography and we also enjoyed having them as part of our day! Chris ensures the music is top notch for the ceremony, dinner and reception! 100 percent recommend this company to any bride and groom looking for packaged band, lighting, photo, photobooth and videography services! Thank you so much Chris! Even getting a text message on the day and day after our wedding wishing us good wishes with our marriage felt so special!!

Cover Story Entertainment was amazing!! We had the band only, not the photography or video services. They were so much fun and they kept the party going all night. They also did a beautiful job with the ceremony and cocktail hour music. They were also very communicative throughout the whole planning process. I would highly recommend them!!

Great job by Chris, Elena, Danielle and Joey! Cover Story has a huge playlist, but we wanted them to learn and perform a couple of tunes that were not on it - for first dance and parents dance. Danielle and Joey performed them live and they were flawless and beautiful. These are really talented musicians -combined with efficient management and planning tools so there are no unpleasant surprises. Cover Story is a high-quality, low-risk choice for wedding entertainment.

We recently had Cover Story Entertainment for our wedding band. They were incredible!!! Super professional, responsive, and the music was fantastic. Finding a good wedding band was super important to me, and Cover Story did not disappoint! The guests were all very complimentary too. The dance floor was full all night. Would highly recommend this wedding band!

After interviewing a few music companies I booked Cover Story Entertainment - I booked a DJ (DJ Omari) and a musician for the ceremony and cocktail hour (Jason). I was extremely happy with Cover Story Entertainment and everything about my experiences exceeded my expectations. Throughout the planning and scheduling process Cover Story staff I dealt with were so nice, accommodating, flexible, and hyped me up. They clearly have experience dealing with brides. Even when I asked silly questions their emails always ended with them saying how excited they were for my big day. The payment and planning process was smooth and very professional. They even texted me on my wedding day to let me know they had arrived at the venue and were excited to get started. DJ Omari and Jason were both phenomenal. Omari was attentive, made sure he pronounced names correctly, and played all the songs I requested ahead of time. There literally were people dancing the ENTIRE RECEPTION and I had SO MANY guests comment on how much fun it was and how great the music was. Jason was also amazing and I had guests tell me he was great too. I would 10/10 recommend Cover Story and would 10/10 book them again.
