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!

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!

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.

Chris, Elena and the Cover Story team were so great to work with during our planning process - answering my endless questions, providing advice on timeline/song selection, etc. The planning calls with Elena and DJ Matthew in advance also helped us having confidence our day would be perfect. All of our requested songs were played and our dance floor was packed the entire night! We had so much fun at our wedding reception thanks to Cover Story!! Highly recommend!

The admin piece was extremely professional and punctual. There's extensive work done to put on a performance perfect for you and your guests. As for the musical talent -- wow. My musically inclined friends couldn't stop raving about how good they were. I think that says it all. Overall, highly recommend. Book them!

Cover Story was a true highlight of our wedding!
Chris was so responsive and easy to work with in the months and days leading up to our wedding and was also so thoughtful when putting together the singers/band that would be the best fit for us. 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!!!!

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.

We had an amazing experience working with Chris and Elena from Coverstory Entertainment. We felt at ease from the very first phone call, and could tell how organized and professional this company is. They made the planning process easy, and their experience in working with our venue was very helpful with any questions we had. On the day of our wedding, everything was perfect and performers looked and sounded great! The wedding planner they provided us ensured all transitions and speeches went smooth. They knew exactly when to keep it low key and when to turn the party up. Our guest had such a fun time and danced all night long. Many of my family members made comments about how much fun the band was. Thanks Coverstory Entertainment for making our day so special!

Band was outstanding. So talented and had us all up and dancing. We were impressed they played for so long, too!
Their wedding planner worksheet was really helpful, especially since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator.
The only issue we had was that it was clear they have LOTS of weddings going on, so they don’t quite keep track of all the moving pieces. It’s really on you. Not a problem, but we had other vendors that were more dialed in to make us feel like our day was special. If that doesn’t matter to you, then it’s not an issue. The band was STELLAR.

Cover Story played at our backyard wedding and they were absolutely amazing! They had everyone on the dance floor from the first song through the end of the wedding. Many of our guests told us after the wedding how awesome the band was, what great energy they created, and how much they loved all of the song choices. Everyone even danced while the DJ played during the band’s break. Highly recommend!

Awesome!!! Chris and team have the wedding planning process and wedding day execution down to a science. We opted for live music during our cocktail hour and DJ set for the reception. Both were outstanding and exactly what we were looking for. The Cover Story Entertainment team is extremely talented and true professionals at their craft. They know how to read the room and get everyone dancing and having fun.

The band was incredible! Sammi and Mike were excellent hosts and vocalists, and every musician was spot on. All the programming moved at an excellent pace, they were attentive to the crowd and followed through on all the planning and information they requested - the peak of professionalism! As for the tunes, they rocked the house and delivered nothing but fast balls down the middle the whole evening. Even the lighter numbers during dinner were excellent! When they went on break, the DJ filled in with great selections that kept the evening over the top. Working with Chris to sort out the logistics and planning was also an excellent experience. He was organized, helpful, responsive, and very understanding. I recommend this band very highly and could not imagine going with a different one. Thank you all for helping to make our day so special!

Chris and the whole cover story band were AMAZING at our wedding! If you’re looking for a wedding band - look no further. They made the whole planning process seamless, and pulled off an unforgettable night. We had guests coming up to us all night saying how great they were and asking us how we found them! Our dance floor was packed from the second they started until the very last song - and we haven’t stopped thinking about the fun!! We also used them for our ceremony which went smoothly, and they were great about giving us song advice and setting up the microphone and speakers. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing and high energy wedding band.

First saw them in 2017 at a friends wedding, they were amazing and we decided to book them for our wedding in 2020. However we ended up having to reschedule multiple times over the next 2 years due to COVID, and they helped us every step of the way. The performance was well worth the wait and the management staff was extremely helpful with all the rescheduling. Highly recommend

Brooke and Fil were absolutely amazing!! Fil came with a color-coded spreadsheet (my love language), walked us through everything for the evening, was really on top of schedule changes, and made great suggestions about moving speeches and other moments around to get the best flow for the evening. The whole band had such amazing energy and kept us dancing until the minute we had to turn off the amp for a local curfew time. All of our guests were enthralled and so complimentary all night - and still talking about the experience in the morning! One of our guests was moved nearly to tears every time the saxophone player had a solo, and is not-so-secretly hoping he can fly the whole band down to his wedding next year in Florida. We are so so glad we chose Brooke and Fil with Cover Story - 100% would recommend!!
Chris and Elena (behind the scenes for booking and planning for the months leading up to our wedding) were really accessible and ready to answer the dozens of questions we had. The planning document they provided ended up being our skeleton schedule to help everything else fall into place throughout the evening. We didn’t hire a planner, so that was incredibly beneficial.

My husband and I knew that we wanted live music at our wedding and Cover Story did not disappoint! They played an amazing variety of music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night - from the youngest to the oldest person at the party, there was something for everyone. I think I sat down for about 5 minutes all night because I was so busy dancing! I truly had the best time and Cover Story made my party complete. Their customer service was also amazing. They were always kind and helpful, even when I made some last minute changes to my plans (they were able to jump in and do videography and add uplighting for me when I decided to add on these services a few weeks before my wedding). I am beyond grateful that we chose Cover Story. Highly recommend!

We truly could not have imagined a better band and setlist for our wedding! Cover Story was amazing to work with and super detailed in their planning of your special day. They worked seamlessly with the venue on the day of and they played the entire night long. There was never a time that the dance floor was empty - they just kept playing awesome songs and kept everyone excited and having fun. I highly recommend Cover Story and would encourage anyone who wants a live band at their wedding to hire them ASAP!!

These guys rocked the house! They came down to Connecticut for our wedding and had people on the dance floor the whole time. The entire experience was great - they did ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music with just a quick break for dinner. They were easy to work with, very communicative, and open to different ideas. We never had so many compliments as we did at the afterparty!

Chris, Sammi, Mike and the rest of the band were absolutely amazing! A good band was our number one priority and they absolutely crushed it. We did not want “the usual” wedding band songs - Cover Story’s set list was spot on. We had multiple guests say that they want to hire the band for their own wedding.
We also utilized their ceremony package and, while there was a little confusion with the microphone setup, it did not take away from how amazing they were overall!
We would recommend Cover Story to anyone for their wedding and can’t wait to see them out in Boston some time soon

Five stars is not enough for Cover Story! We were a 2020 turned 2021 couple and we are so glad that we were finally able to party with them, we will never forget it. We are both musicians and had a house full of them as well, the dance floor was rocking all night and we heard nothing but the very best things. They even let me (the bride) jump in on a song and closed it down by figuring out a last minute request. The lead singer nailed so many different genres as well, we were truly impressed. Chris and the team were so organized throughout the process and we always felt we were in great hands. We can’t wait to come see them at future gigs and relive amazing memories! Thank you Cover Story!

We are so incredibly happy with with our experience working with Cover Story! From day 1, the entire team has been so supportive, knowledgeable and responsive to all of our questions--- accommodating any small changes and offering us advice. For our wedding we had a live musician during the ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by a DJ for the reception. Both the live musician and our DJ took perfect direction and were completely open to us providing feedback as the night went on. Would definitely recommend Cover Story!

Cover story entertainment is a must have. The band had everyone on their feet pretty much the entire night. They really read the crowd and knew what songs to play just based on what the crowd was dancing to I was so impressed!! Everyone at the wedding was impressed with the band and they just played awesome music all night!
