We could not have been happier with Cover Story as our wedding band! They absolutely nailed the music vibe we were going for and kept the energy high all night long. They were so engaging with the crowd, incredibly professional from start to finish, and knew exactly how to keep everyone on the dance floor. One of the things that impressed us most was how well they understood our music preferences. Everything felt perfectly tailored to us, and the flow of the night was seamless. Our guests had an absolute blast, and we received so many compliments about how amazing the band was. They were such a huge part of what made our reception so much fun and memorable. If you’re looking for a band that is talented, professional, and knows how to get a party going, we cannot recommend them enough!

We worked with Cover Story for our wedding in July and had the best experience. From the beginning Cover Story went above and beyond, they were easy to communicate with, very organized, and even learned our first dance song, which made it so special. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still raving about how great the band was. Highly recommend if you want your wedding to feel like a huge party!

r talented. People were dancing all night long, and Chris and Elena went to significant lengths to make sure they had every detail perfect and that we had an incredible day. it's always tough to tell with a band from the videos because it's hard to capture the energy of a live performance, but I can say that this band really delivered. Definitely don't hesitate to hire them, they were awesome and in the lead-up to the wedding, were very logistically organized in a way that put my mind at ease that they had it all handled.

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.

ional. 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!

hey 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!

h 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. -MK + AJ Dunne

n 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!

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.

ry 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!

hey 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.

ch 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!!!!
