I would recommend Lucky Devils to anyone looking for a wedding band! They did an awesome job handling the sound for our ceremony, playing acoustic guitar for the processional and recessional, playing jazz during the cocktail hour, and playing an amazing set that included a horn section during the reception!
We also liked that they offered many additional add-on services, including the digital photobooth which we did take advantage of.
Our contact Tom was very responsive throughout the planning process, and we greatly appreciated the detail we were allowed to go in in providing details around genre preferences and how we would like the reception to play out. All our guests raved about them afterward and we are very grateful for the awesome night they helped contribute to!
I was a guest at a wedding that they played and they rocked! I can’t remember the last time I heard a live band at a wedding let alone one with a horn section! Fantastic! Highly recommend!!!
This band rocked my wedding world. Communication was super easy via email and phone. Gabriela was amazing with helping organize song choices and flow of the whole reception. I wouldn't have wanted any other band there. This group of musicians are seriously talented and made this event something to remember. After the wedding was over, several of our guests kept asking where I found this band and how fun they were. Dancing, dancing, dancing!!! Thanks again for making it awesome!
Any questions?
Feel-good, upbeat, and exceptional are just a few words that come to mind when thinking back to the performance the lucky devils gave at our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, talented, and easy-going group of musicians to have at our big day. They played as a small trio during cocktail hour and with a larger 6 piece band during the reception. They had every one of our guests up and dancing the entire time they played. Their coordinator Kevin spoke to us for over an hour a week before the wedding, making sure that all the timing details and music choices were nailed down for the day. They were such a hit that guests are still talking to us about how amazing they were. Thank you so much, you really helped make our wedding a hit!
Lucky Devils Band is not only extremely talented but also a pleasure to work with! I'm a wedding planner in Sonoma County and worked with the band last month at a wedding in Berkeley. They were timely, fun and kept the crowd engaged and dancing. I will certainly continue to refer them to future clients and look forward to working together again!
If I could give 10/5 I would. I learned about The Lucky Devils at my cousins wedding and I knew I had to have them at mine... 2 years later. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience from start to finish. Jefferson was always responsive and more than accommodating when a wrench was thrown into the plan. In the future if I ever plan a fancy event I will call The Lucky Devils again. NO DOUBT!
Such a great band and so worth the price to have live music. I cannot describe the energy they brought to our wedding. They kept people dancing and they were a lot of fun and also extremely talented. Brian was great to work with also. We would definitely recommend them, our guests loved them! (as did we)
Look no further for the perfect band!!! They are affordable, professional, and man can this band get a crowd going!!! From the guitar and singer at my ceremony, jazz band at cocktail hour and singing all night they had my quests in aww. For me that said a lot because I am from Chicago and live music is LIFE! All 200 people at my wedding were up dancing till mid-night to a variety of music. Outside of the main event the planning and music selection help was so helpful. Jerry one of the guitarists gives you a link and when ever you think of songs through your planning process you add it. For the areas in was not sure what kind of music to play he helped me pick it out by sending me emails of sample songs. Dan the lead singer and MC at my event was on point! They sang our first dance song "Have I told you latly" by Rod Steward and it was magical. This band will not let you down. Go see them at their monthly show case live, meet the band and you will not be disappointed.
This was the best band. Hire them for your wedding! They far exceeded our expectations! Everyone was dancing the whole time and is still raving about how awesome the band was! It was minimal work for us other than providing the timeline and genres or songs we preferred. The band took it from there: they are true professionals and their sound is amazing. You won't be disappointed!
We honestly don’t even know where to begin here. As we prepared for our wedding, we either wanted a great band or a good DJ, and so the search began. Pricing took some candidates out and others didn’t hit the quality we were looking for. Then we came across the Lucky Devils Band and we immediately knew we were onto something.
We worked with Michael (who is an amazing coordinator and even better person) for some initial questions and then went to Neck of the Woods to watch their showcase (they do this monthly in San Francisco - go check out the free show!). We were sold immediately. The performance was amazing and covered the entire music spectrum, which was extremely impressive. We decided to sign them as a 7-piece band right away for our wedding date. The process was extremely easy, and you’re given an online band page to fill out the information you need and any notes you’d like to add in there. The whole process, from first communication to final pre-wedding chat was easy, relaxed and, most importantly, fun. We can’t speak highly enough about how polished their process is - it’s clear that they’ve done this before.
The band was nothing short of perfect on our wedding day. We simply guided the music selection with what genres we wanted and didn’t want, and they took on the rest. Gabriela was one of our lead vocals and also our MC. It was flawless. They rolled with the punches with us, never pressured or stressed, and made sure every step of the day was executed perfectly. They rocked out and our guests couldn’t keep off of the dance floor, and they happily played to the crowd the whole time. We can’t emphasize enough how amazing the music was, but also how amazing the MCing and coordination were. Our day wouldn’t have been as perfect as it was without them. They are true professionals and do it all with joy.
Check out their website for times they’re playing (monthly in SF) and get yourself to a show. You won’t regret it. And you’ll probably see us there.
If you are looking for a wedding band, Lucky Devils Band is the ONLY one you should consider! Honestly, the band made our entire wedding! All of our guests were on the dance floor the entire night, and couldn't stop raving about how great the music was. The Lucky Devils Band was able to do such an awesome variety of music, everyone from the younger kids to our older guests heard something they knew and loved. They created the perfect atmosphere for our wedding, and I couldn't have asked for a better band!
Aaron made the entire process so easy, and was in touch with us along the way as we made music selections. The band is truly professional, SO talented and a ton of fun. I'd recommend them to anyone!
I knew when I started wedding planning that I wanted a band. I searched far and wide for the perfect band. I wanted one that could play a wide range of music since I love motown and old school music, while my husband loves classic rock. I did a ton of research and stumbled upon Lucky Devils Band because of all the positive reviews they had online. I'm here to tell you they absolutely live up to the glowing reviews--HIRE THEM! They are professional, organized, and most of all SO TALENTED! Our dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night and it was because they kept playing hit after hit and they were so amazing. I cannot recommend them enough!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect!!!
I highly recommend Lucky Devils Band for your wedding! The process leading up to the wedding was a breeze, and Coso helped ensure things went smoothly and we were all on the same page. And the band was incredible! They kept our guests on the dance floor all night, and really seemed to be having fun and enjoying themselves, which translated into a high quality performance. If you're looking for great professional music at an affordable price, then this is the best choice.
I cannot recommend this band enough!! We went and saw them at their showcase in Hollywood, and booked them the next day. We had a classic 5 piece band + 2 horn/sax players for our wedding in Santa Barbara. When we began the wedding planning process, we knew we wanted a band but speaking to friends who paid $10-15k for their wedding band we were starting to think it wouldn't be possible. My mom randomly found them, and we were all happy at how affordable they are (and we were within their radius where they don't charge a travel fee). Throughout planning we worked with Brian, who was great! The website they use to have us collect our thoughts and put all the details in one place was a huge help. Fast forward to the big day, and the band was INCREDIBLE. From the guitar player who play our ceremony music, to our amazing lead singer/band leader and everyone else, they were just so amazing. All of our guests had SO much fun dancing, and many people came up to us to tell us how awesome the band was. The best part? Our wedding went until midnight, so knowing that most of the older folks would have headed home by then, I requested that the band spend the last hour playing fun throwback 90s/early 2000s music for us and our friends. I half expected this to not happen, but then I heard them start playing "Pony" by Ginuwine and I pretty much died. I mean come on. We both highly recommend hiring them, they made are wedding incredible and so fun for us and our guests!
No question about it - the best wedding band I have ever seen!!!! The Lucky Devils are truly awesome and did a fantastic job in continuing the party into the night! You wouldn't believe how many people said how amazing they were!
I've been to weddings where bands haven't managed to engage with the audience - but our wedding was definitely not one of those events - I don't think I ever saw the dance floor empty!
The band were also extremely good at keeping in touch before and during the wedding making the whole process super easy
Could not be happier with our decision to go with the Lucky Devils. From the very first time we heard them, we knew it was going to be great. They do showcases for potential clients every month, and by the end of their set, I think every couple there was sold. Their prices are reasonable, the musicians are amazing, they read the room, played five amazing sets, and overall brought the party to another level. I wish there were more occasions in life to hire a live band, they are that fun.
Our first priority for the reception was having great live music. We see a lot of live music and have pretty high standards, and these guys absolutely crushed it. From the first song until the end, everyone was on the dance floor and having a blast. We were blown away at how talented and fun they were. At one point they brought our 2 year old niece on stage to dance. The whole night, people were coming up to me and asking about the band and where we found them. Overall 10/10 - it was a blast. Book these guys!
You should definitely hire The Lucky Devils band - they were incredible!! The night of our wedding we could not have asked for a better performance by the band! Aaron was our MC for the night and he did an amazing job! From start to finish we were blown away by the quality and variety of the performances. (Especially considering we asked for a lot of Spanish music, and the band was able to play a variety of both Spanish and English hits). Our guests also LOVED the band and we got compliments on the band from practically everyone. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Right down to the last song rocking it out on the packed dance floor. with us. Seriously you guys did such an amazing job and we cannot thank you enough!!
Lucky Devils was one of the easiest vendors we worked with during our wedding planning. The process with them is a dream. They have showcases in the city every few months so we got to see them play and meet some of the band members. That night we were SOLD. They were seriously incredible. The bands range blew me away! We went with an eight piece band and after the wedding I have no regrets spending a little bit more than we'd planned for. Our guests danced the entire night and still talk about how great the band was. It as so much fun to watch them perform. Gabby MC'ed and was perfection. They even let my brother in law, who studies percussion at Yale, play a song with them which was the highlight of his night! They have detailed contracts and documents explaining everything you'd need to know about booking a band. Their band planning page was GREAT and allowed us to keep all of our notes about what we wanted out of a band in one place. I would book them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to all my couples getting married on the west coast. Thank YOU guys so much for helping make my day unforgettable.
Wow, most amazing wedding band ever! They made our day sooo special and everyone keeps talking about how great the band was! Not only do they create a fun environment, but they are sooooo musically talented! They fed off the crowd and there never was a dull moment! Thank you lucky devils band for making the night of our life! I would recommend this band to any and everyone!
Hands down best wedding band around right now!
Fabulous musicians, excellent value! They injected energy and happiness into our wedding. People danced 'til the very end. Their song choices were in line with our stated likes and dislikes. Plus, they helped us w/ mics for the ceremony, music for cocktail hour, and music for dancing. Jefferson, the band manager, was full of energy and pep, too.
Your search for the perfect band ends here. Book the Lucky Devils for any musical experience you desire. They get it and will deliver.
Lucky Devils Band played our wedding on July 1st and we couldn't have been happier! During the booking/planning stages, we worked with Jefferson (he's the BEST!) and he helped us put together the band of our dreams. Lucky Devils provided us with a sound engineer for the ceremony, string quartet for cocktail hour, MC, and a 10 piece band for our party. Everyone at the wedding said that the band was incredible and they kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Thank you for being a part of our special day!
This band was incredible! I had at least 15 people tell me The Lucky Devils were the best wedding band they've every seen. Jefferson was so helpful throughout the whole process in setting up the event. Not only was the music amazing, but the band was super gracious and flexible. Hire these guys! You won't be disappointed
Aaron and the Lucky Devils Band were so incredible on all ends.
From the beginning of the process, they were not only easy, but also FUN to work with.
Aaron really helped us narrow down what type of sounds/band we would need. After that we were able to watch a live showcase and know what songs/genres they really excelled in and narrow our setlist from there.
The best part of the process was the portal page we were given. We could upload our likes, dislikes, timeline, names of important announcements, etc. What a great planning tool.
AND MAN DOES THIS BAND DELIVER WITH SOUND. It's now been over a month since our wedding and the number 1 talked about thing was how good they were...and we agree. They played what we asked for, things we didn't but based on our preferences loved., and really did a great job moving the night along.
Our only negative...we wish we knew what we know now! We would shorten everything else to have more band time!
We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Lucky Devils Band. They provided us ceremony strings and a band for the reception. We exchanged emails with Coso several times prior to our wedding day and our coordinator spoke to him several times to review the schedule as well. One of the things we loved about them is their flexibility and adaptability to schedule and request changes. They use a site to send them updates and then Coso passes the information to the band so they are prepared. So their organization is great, but we were also huge fans of their performance as well.
The ladies who played strings for us were able to play all five songs we requested (pop, rock, country songs) and were flawless at it. Then when it came time for the band they were very professional during the dances and everyone loved them and all of the songs they played. We had people on the dance floor from beginning to end and it made the whole reception that much better. We would absolutely recommend the eight-piece band and string duet and for the price, they were worth every penny. Thanks again for making our big day a lot better Coso and team!
We gave them a list of genres and they were unable to sing any songs from it. I wanted only R&B, hip hop, new pop, and slow Jams. They only sang old 1980-1999 songs. Our crowd did not like it and no one was up dancing at all. We requested to change the songs and the genres multiple times throughout the night. I sent my wedding planner as well as my bridesmaids but they just continued to play their own songs. It was sad, but they ruined our night. Many young guests left early because the music was so slow and not-upbeat. The people who enjoyed it was probably in their 60s, but we wanted the wedding to cater to ourselves, the bride and groom.
Even we didn't enjoy the music one bit. And music usually sets the tone of your event too.
The Lucky Devils Band played at my wedding in Palm Desert, CA. My husband and I live in San Francisco, so we were able to hear them play near us. They were amazing! We were told that the band members would be different in So Cal. They were equally good. Two members of the band played soft music prior to the ceremony, and then there were 5 at the reception. Gabrielle, the lead singer, is an absolute jewel . Mike, the drummer, was our primary contact and he captured all of our wishes to a tee. They got most of this mixed-faith crowd on their feet for a hora! You can't go wrong. They're worth every penny.
I can't say enough great things about Lucky Devils Band! I was on the fence about whether it was worth it to get a band, but my fiancé really wanted one. after we went to their showcase, I was sold! Kevin made the whole planning very easy. He responded quickly to emails and our phone conference with him was great- he gave us ideas and suggestions when we asked and was more than accommodating for anything unusual we asked for. I have no idea how things went for the band to get there and set up, so I'm assuming it went smoothly because they were already set up and playing when I showed up. Mariela was our main singer and out MC and she was fabulous from start to finish. She came out and met my bridal party before announcing them and kept the energy up and the schedule for the night moving. I got SO many compliment on the band and everyone said it was the best party they had been to! Cost for value was not matched in any other band we looked at. I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends!
It's been 48 hours since our wedding night, but I'm still riding an adrenaline rush courtesy of the Lucky Devils Band. This group is overflowing with talent and they know how to read a crowd - they had a fun but relaxed vibe while the older attendees were present, but by the end of the night I was crowdsurfing surrounded by my closest friends singing Journey at the top of our lungs. That was a memory I hope to hold onto forever and it is truly priceless. I highly encourage you to make your night stand out, forget the dj, and hire the professional musicians of the Lucky Devils Band.
If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, not only for you and your spouse, but for all that attend, you must book Lucky Devils Band. From the first song they played, my wife and I started receiving compliments on the band. Days after, friends and family said that it was like being at a concert and that our wedding was the best they had ever been to. Much of that credit goes to Lucky Devils Band and the energy and quality musicianship they provided! They had everyone dancing and if you're a music lover, you need to have them at your event! Can't say enough about them! Thank you!!!
My new wife, Michelle, and I hired the Lucky Devils Band for our May wedding. Our contact with the band was Kevin. Kevin and his team were wonderful from start to finish. Months before the event, the band invited us to a private audition where different combinations of their 12 piece ensemble, played all sorts of different genres and recognizable songs. We were blown away by their sound, energy and versatility. We worked with Kevin to find the best solution for our event and budget. We landed on a 6 person ensemble for 5-6 hours.
Kevin was super helpful in recommending songs and a schedule based on his wedding experience and also encouraged us to recommend songs that were important and fun for us. The band was great about plugging in our songs to their set lists. During the reception they rocked the house. They did a great job MCing and keeping great flow! They also set us up with a killer pianist to play during the wedding ceremony and even played piano cover versions of 3 popular songs we wanted to incorporate into our program. It was perfect in every way. Thank you Lucky Devils! Sincerely, The Hothems! :)
We had them at our 130 guest wedding in Santa Barbara, CA and it was such a blast. We live in LA so we were able to go to a showcase and see them play before we booked them which was great. Coso was easy to work with and was super responsive with E-mails we had them MC the event and the guitar player for the beach ceremony, both which were really nominal fees for add-ons. They learned songs for our night and really engaged with the crowd. We danced the whole night and would hire them again, best price you will get for this kind of live band.
Lucky Devils Band was a dream come true! Mike was a joy to work with pre-wedding and the band lived up to all that was promised. We only gave them 1 direction, keep the dance floor packed, and boy did they keep the party going! I promise that if you let them do their thing you won't be disappointed! Thanks again, for making our wedding a night to remember. ❤️❤️
I think this band should be more forthcoming about the fact that there is no actual one band-- rather there is a roster is "hundreds" of musicians who are scheduled based on area and availability. Those individuals may not have even met before. They claim to be self-managed, but they actually have a system of dozens of outside sales representatives, its very much a business. The individuals at the showcases are the A squad.
I LOVE LUCKY DEVILS. They were so fun and easy to work with. Exceeded my expectations. Someone called my mom the week after my wedding to ask about my band for her daughters wedding because she heard they were fantastic (very true). Highly recommend.
You need the Lucky Devils at your event.
The band is amazingly talented. We had found them when researching bands and went to their showcase in SF. For our wedding of 80 guests, they were able to arrange a string trio for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for our cocktail hour, and a 5 piece band for our reception. They were attentive to every request ranging from classical to indie to pop to rock to funk etc. The band planning process is easy and well organized online and they are available throughout the process for specific questions. Our guests LOVED the band and we danced the whole night! They helped to make our special day the best!
Absolutely wonderful!! We had to put a lot of faith in the band since we were planning a wedding from afar and couldn't go see them live first. But wow, I still get so many complements on the Lucky Devils. They really helped us have the fun and exciting vibe for our whole night and listened to what we liked and didn't want played. If you want your whole wedding to be up dancing and having a great time, hire the Lucky Devils! They even threw in some extras for free as they wanted to sound to be better! We loved them.
My husband and I chose to have the Lucky Devils perform at our wedding and reception at Soda Rock Winery in Healdsburg, CA. We chose a piano and cello to perform "A Thousand Years" for our wedding processional, and "Better Together" for the recessional. It was amazing! A string duet then played during our cocktail hour in the tasting room. The band then played at the reception and we had the best time celebrating with them! All of our guests were blown away by their talent! Working with Michael was a pleasure and he customized the instruments and players to exactly what we envisioned for our wedding!
5 stars is not enough!!! We could have had nothing for our wedding except the band and it still would have been the best wedding ever. They were exceptional and insanely talented and kept everyone on the dance floor...before the wedding started and then we had to kick everyone off. They are the key to the best party ever!
We used Lucky Devils Band for our wedding ceremony at a state park outside Las Vegas. They had quite the challenge since it was an outdoor venue that did not allow for amplified sound. They came early, were set up and prepared before our guests arrived! They also let my sister-in-law join them and sing for our mother & son dance. They were professional and gave us much more than we could have asked for. They came as a 3 piece band, played a great set and took minimal breaks. I highly recommend them.
BOOK THEM!!! The Lucky Devils Band by far exceeded my expectations and was everything I wanted in a wedding band & more!! From start to finishing they made everything as easy and possible and for an affordable price. Other bands I looked at were charging an unreasonable amount for a big band, and I get it you can't beat live music!! However this is also your wedding day and every dollar counts!! 1st perk: The LDB does live rehearsals once a month in San Diego, and all over California. This was perfect for me because I was really hesitant to book a band I've never heard in person. We went a saw them live at the Tin Roof and they rocked the house. Immediately we knew they were the type of band we were looking for. They played all types of music and genres and a mixture of old and new. For our wedding group, this was exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was rocking all night long. The singers were energetic and interactive, even came and danced with us. The band members were also so lively, the sax player came up and down the dance floor which was awesome! Kevin, the manager and point man, was very easy to work with. The portal they use keeps everyone organized and on the same page, leaving little room for failure. He was always available to reach with questions and made sure we followed up about a week out so there were no loose ends. Our wedding day turned out absolutely perfect and the live music was nothing sort of amazing. Our ceremony started with a string trio of violins and a cello. We then had a jazz trio for cocktail hour, with a guitar and piano combo. For the reception we went with the 8 piece band. I would definitely recommend splurging for as many artists as possible. Although they can still rock the house with a 4 piece, each addition does make a great difference to the overall vibe. If anyone is looking for a wedding band no matter the size or music style you love I would 100% go with the Lucky Devils Band! We are so happy that we did. Thank you for an amazing job!!!
We recently had Lucky Devils play at our Wedding and we can’t begin to recommend them enough. Our guests are still raving about the music!
We did not want ‘the same old wedding band’ and Lucky Devils delivered. We had a six piece band including two singers, drums, guitar, keyboard, and saxophone. They played three hour-long sets. They started with music that was geared more towards our parents’ generation but played music that got everyone on the dance floor right away. Over the course of the night, the music transitioned into more contemporary songs. They were able to play a great range of music from Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder to Justin Timberlake, Prince and Pitbull. Everything they played sounded amazing. They did a great job reading the crowd and keeping everyone engaged with the music.
We first went to listen to Lucky Devils play a showcase in San Francisco and took note of our favorite band members. They made it very easy to work with them by providing an online form that allowed us to enter our favorite and least favorite songs and all event logistics. A couple weeks before the event we had a phone call with Jefferson. He was very easy to work with and understood our goals.
Jefferson provided the MC service and did an amazing job. He did not try to be the center of the event but he did a great job making introductions, including pronouncing some difficult names correctly! A couple of months before the wedding, we provided the band with a unique Beatles cover song for our first dance and they were able to learn it and did a great job with it.
Our wedding was in an unconventional warehouse-type space, which presented some technical challenges. The band was able to address some technical difficulties cause by our venue without any of our guests noticing. The Lucky Devils are as professional as they are extremely fun!!
A few weeks after our wedding, my mom is hoping to find a Lucky Devils show she can attend because she loved the music so much, and our friends all want to hire them for their weddings.
If you want a professional, energetic, and great sounding band that will keep your guests dancing through the night, The Lucky Devils is the band for you.
I can't even remember how I happened upon the Lucky Devils Band, but as I sit here writing this about a month after our NYE wedding, I can't imagine having had anyone BUT them play the day. Honestly, this band is not just musically worth every penny, but one of the best and most professional vendors we worked with throughout our entire wedding planning process.
I'd gone to see them at a showcase in San Francisco, which I highly recommend doing if you're on the fence or even "band shopping." It's a great way to test the product and in the case of the Lucky Devils, their showcase was like a concert -- and in my case, it completely cemented that this was one of the best event bands I'd ever seen. I literally hired them that evening. It was one of the earliest decisions I made in the planning process (right after venue selection), and it was easily one of the best. I'd already been interacting over email with their manager, Jefferson, so I also knew that they were very professionally run, which also meant a lot to me. They'd also sent over a terrific demo CD (for free), which also had a very pro look and feel -- again, these things matter when you're talking about forking over several thousand dollars in a deposit to someone you may or may not ever meet in person. Anyway, all of this is to say that Jefferson/the band's responsiveness, handle on pre-wedding day logistics, and professionalism was a huge bonus to what I knew would be true: the day-of music kicked ASS.
I actually hired the Devils to provide the music at all three "junctures" of the wedding: the ceremony, where I had a keyboard and violinist; the cocktail hour, where I had a jazz trio; and the wedding reception itself, where I had an eight-piece band. The musicians for each component of the wedding were absolutely top-notch. One thing to know is that the total band is large - it's more like a band version of a theater company than a band, in the sense that the people you see at the showcase may not play your event. But rest assured that whoever does will know their way around their instrument. The band that played my event was wildly talented and a lot of fun. I can't say enough about the quality of the music and their ability to keep people dancing on what was a long (but really fun) night!
Finally, I'd be remiss not to note how accommodating the band was in incorporating live versions of songs that meant a lot to us as a couple. I had specific ceremony music requests, which were beautifully rendered, and we had the band play our first dance song (which they learned, and executed to perfection). The band went above and beyond to make our day as incredible as it was, and anyone who can should hire them. They're the best!
My husband was dead set on a live band. The Lucky Devils Band was perfect! They allow you to customize the size and type of band. They can play any type of music. Our guests were blown away by the band!
From the moment we made our first inquiry through to the completion of their performance at our wedding, our experience with the the Lucky Devils Band has been top notch.
Michael was our primary point of contact and he was at all times super responsive to our questions as well as being instrumental in guiding our vaguest of original directions and input as to what we wanted in terms of performance at our reception. As it turns out, at the last minute I had a lot of input for the reception music :) as well probably unusual instructions such as to minimize formalities such no formal announcements. Michael was never fazed and worked with us to make the entertainment aspect of our reception just how we envisioned.
Also at the last minute we dropped the bombshell that we'd actually like live acoustic guitar in the courtyard of our church as strings for inside the church for the processionals and recessional. Was not a problem for even being such a last minute request and Michael handled it (what seemed like) effortlessly for us and the strings were absolute perfection.
All in all, I cannot fault the Lucky Devils Band at all as they were a complete joy to work with and highly recommend them!
We cannot stress enough how amazing the Lucky Devils Band was at our Wedding October 30th. Jefferson, singer and manager was an absolute dream to work with. He just got it. And he was an excellent MC for the event. He made setting up what we needed easy and was a pleasure. The band has many members so the mood and feeling of what you want is curated to you particularly. My husband and I were lucky enough to go to a wedding 3 weeks before ours that also had the Lucky Devils playing and they were awesome! When they played at our wedding, they were just as awesome and perfect for the feeling and energy of the venue. I kept saying "Why wouldn't everyone hire them!" I found them after working my way through many bands and went with my gut. We spoke to Jefferson and his energy and focus made us know this was the band for us. We also heard them at a local venue and they were so versatile and powerful. Loved! Thank you to Jefferson and the Lucky Devils for being such a huge part of our beautiful wedding day.
The Lucky Devils were absolutely amazing for our Palm Desert wedding. It was so important to me and my husband to have people up and dancing and having a great time. The Lucky Devils succeeded in making that happen! Everyone danced the night away and is still raving about how amazing the band was. Aaron, who has a killer voice, was also the emcee and ensured the night flowed perfectly. I coordinated with Coso prior to the wedding and he was quick to respond and answered all my questions. We are so so happy we picked the Lucky Devils Band for our wedding!
The Lucky Devils Band was incredible! We got to see them play a set at the Tin Roof in San Diego before picking them, and they were obviously fun from the get go -- in addition to being amazing at what they do. Planning with them was incredibly easy -- they have a whole system that works amazingly well. They were flexible when my dad wanted to change the order of events on the day of. And they brought the house down with their music. Can't say enough! You'll be glad you picked them!
The band was truly awesome. Really exceeded all expectations! Lively, talented, and a complete blast. They nailed it! Thank You to Lucky Devils Band for helping us make our wedding so special.
Hire this band. You will not regret it. They had EVERYONE up and dancing the whole night. We had a few professional musicians as guests (and my husband was in a band) and they were completely impressed with them. I can't stress enough how much the Lucky Devils contributed to our wonderful party!
I did not have a positive experience with this band. Trying to discuss details and get them to tell me who exactly within the band would be singing at our wedding was nearly impossible. They were difficult to communicate with and gave me a difficult time when I told them I no longer wanted them to be our band due to the poor customer service I was receiving. I would not recommend this band. We went with another band and they were fabulous from start to finish.

Hi there!
Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry that your experience trying to book the band was not 100% positive! We strive to fulfill all of our couples wishes from booking to performing, so please accept our sincerest apologies if w...
e fell short for you. We're very glad that you found a band that fit your vision and best wishes in your happy marriage!

The music was incredible and the band was an absolute breath of fresh air as a wedding band (finding one can otherwise be a stressful event).
Everyone we dealt with in the band conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, from the planning all the way through the actual event. Our guests are still raving about the music months later and we couldn't be happier with the job they did.
One especially important note: this band is incredibly transparent in their pricing. They publish it on their website and do not charge extra for weddings, which unfortunately I cannot say for many other vendors (and many other bands). They are a great band at a great price and I'd highly recommend them to anyone considering a band for their wedding or event. If you can afford it, the more members you get, the better value it is!
We were so fortunate to have The Lucky Devils Band play at our wedding. It was definitely one of the highlights of our night and they were truly incredible....especially our MC. They did an exceptional job and made the night an amazing party!
This amazing group of musicians made for the best wedding ever! From the first second we communicated until the end of our wedding, The Lucky Devils were amazing. Played the best songs, sounded great, were having as much fun onstage as we were on the dance floor. Can't recommend them enough!
You read reviews and people say that the band made the event. We are now one of them! Lucky Devils Band was the best choice we made. We even heard many guests (some being musicians themselves) say that this was the best wedding band they have ever heard. From our first phone chat with Brian, to planning the details with Michael, and to the culmination of everything at our reception, everyone was very professional and accommodating to our requests. The band had never been to our venue before (Sugar Bowl Resort in Tahoe) but they took everything in stride and provided exceptional results. Erin, the MC and lead singer had an AMAZING voice and she kept us and our guests dancing all night. We opted for the five piece band, and it was perfect for the size of the wedding and the venue. We cannot express our gratitude enough for everyone in the Lucky Devils Family, and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!
We had a fantastic wedding with the Lucky Devils Band keeping the smooth feel and the flow going from 11:30 - 5:30PM in Capitola. Rocky, Althea, Scotty, Jerwayne and James were all very talented and played several styles of music. It helped that Jefferson in the office helped us go through their helpful on line sheet to make sure we had all the dances covered and other needed cues. We had to use them without amplification, I can only imagine how fantastic it would have been if even louder, but I only state this to let you know if you need a quiet style but great songs, they pulled it off.
Lucky Devils Band performed at our wedding in May 2016 and did a fantastic job!! They were so much fun and all of our guests had a great time!! They MC’d for us and played great music. Highly recommend working with them!
When my husband and I were planning our wedding, all we knew we wanted was a live band. We had coworkers who stated that a DJ would be just as great, in which we responded with some scoffing. A live band is COMPLETELY different than a DJ - the live music, the beautiful sounds of the instruments, the vocals...oh gosh, we can drone on. Needless to say, with this high up on our list of wants, searching for the right band was the first thing we actually did after we got engaged. Who cared about the venue if we couldn't get our band?! We looked online and talked to a few potentials until we stumbled on the Lucky Devils. We decided to take a trip home to see them play live, and the minute we heard the first song, I had chills down my arms and my husband turned to me, smiled, and said, "Yup. This is it!" Looking for our band proved to be the easiest of all tasks and Jefferson only made it easier!
We had our wedding in an outdoor venue and the naive techie that I am, I just let Jefferson take the reigns of what was needed to run the show for the day. We had a few chit chats about the structure of our wedding day, but we pretty much gave him all of our trust, and man did he come through! We cannot rave enough about Jefferson and his bandmates! One of our wedding guests who has a band of his own was still talking about the Lucky Devils when we saw him a month after our wedding! Our guests, photographer, videographer, and catering all loved the event but without the Lucky Devils, it would not have been as highlighted as it was.
My husband and I are trying to see what other family events we can throw in the next years to come so we can hire them again. LOL - but seriously, we won't be looking for a band again. The Lucky Devils will always be our go-to and referral from now on! :)
Just wanted to say that the Lucky Devils Band was absolutely amazing--definitely made the party. They were fun and gave so much life to the party. Everyone told me how great they were and would use them for other events. Thank you so much!!
Was so disappointed with the Lucky Devils Band.
They sounded good online and our band point of contact was very responsive. However, we had a few issues that really made things go wrong with the wedding.
1. The point of contact with the band was responsive to us but on the day of the event, he wasn't present; he was doing another gig so there were some things lost in translation.
2. One of the things lost in translation was that we asked since he was local he come visit the venue briefly because it was a private property and there were three different areas where music was needed so we wanted to make sure they had enough equipment. They never did this so on my wedding day, they did not have the proper equipment so we had to provide a bright orange extension cord (which is in our ceremony photos) in order to provide music to our special musician.
2. We told our point of contact that we did not want the son/mother dance announced three times but yet they still did it causing some embarrassment to the groom.
3. We went through all this trouble making a list of music we wanted them to play (off of their list) and they played approximately only 10% of it. I, the groom, told the band leader to change the music and pick up the pace, but he never did so the mojo was just off with the wedding. Had I known, I probably would have just gotten a DJ.
4. A guest of mine approached the band to make a request and they just ignored her.
5. I brought all of these issues up to my point of contact and he said sorry and that he would check with the bandleader but I never heard back from him (we are a month later already).
Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2016
Hi Kent!
I'm so sorry that you felt this way about your experience with LDB. That was our mistake announcing the mother/son dance and I'm very sorry that your request to have no announcement was overlooked. With regards to your other complaint...
s, we did make it clear before the event that your contact would not be present. It is also listed in our contract that we only require power and a flat surface to perform. LDB has played at many different venues and we do not usually visit beforehand to check if there is a power outlet near where we are playing-- so I'm very sorry if having an extension cord to supply the band with power did not fit with your vision for the day. I appreciate your email with suggestions for future events, but am a little confused by this complaint as I did respond to your email-- so I'm not sure if it was lost or overlooked.
Again, I'm very sorry about any mistakes we made for your event and we wish you the best in your happy marriage!
Book The Lucky Devils. Book them. There is no question about this. Guests are STILL talking about how awesome the band was - and my wedding was 3 weeks ago. I mean these people have talent. Legitimate talent. Everything from their showcase and the planning process to our wedding day was flawless. I worked with Shea on booking everything, and he couldn't have been more kind, fun and comfortable. Really made the planning process an ease. My dude and I are pretty particular about our music and they fully delivered above and beyond. Funk, dance, top 40, big band, you name it - they'll bring it with class, professionalism and a totally cool vibe. One more time - book them.
The Lucky Devils band are one in a million. From the word "go", my interactions and communications with the band (via band leader Jefferson) were exceptional--and far beyond what I received from other bands I contacted in researching for our wedding. He was responsive, thorough, friendly, and genuinely excited to help us find the best match for our event.
The informational/sample music packet they sent was amazing and really showcased the level of variety you can expect from The Lucky Devils. Everything from pop dance hits, to cultural specifics (think Hava Nagila), to crooner classics, to soul/R&B and classic rock: The Lucky Devils truly do it all! Jefferson will also work with you to learn your tastes and preferences in order to develop a playlist and style that best suits your event. Perhaps best of all (aside from the incredible value you receive for the price) is the customizable format of the band. Want a casual jazz trio? Done. Full 10-piece band with horns. No problem! Night-of was no different. The band arrived, checked in with us and started setting up with excellent communication throughout the evening regarding set times, announcements, music choices, etc. The party was an absolute blast thanks to the incredible musicians on stage, and we left our wedding with The Lucky Devils surpassing any and all expectations. All of our guests, from Grandma to Groomsmen, LOVED the band, and even the catering staff and venue coordinator all commented on how it was one of, if not THE, best wedding band they had seen--and they see a lot! As someone who works with touring bands in a venue setting professionally, I can say with full confidence that Jefferson and The Lucky Devils are one of the best, most affordable, most communicative, most flexible, and down-to-earth, and downright FUN bands out there. Look no further: you've found your wedding band!
Stop! There is no reason to look at any other wedding band.
We had the best night of our lives! And we owe a huge part of that to the Lucky Devils Band. Our guests can't stop raving about the band. They had such a great time on the dance floor. Everyone said the band was the absolute best part of our wedding.
From the very beginning, Aaron was beyond helpful. His professionalism and desire to make sure you are taken care of is unparalleled. I have never experienced such attentiveness. Aaron insisted that we come see them play before we hired them. So we did. And we loved them and hired them on the spot. The whole band was so nice and enthusiastic. They all seem to genuinely enjoy what they do and want to make sure people have a great time listening and dancing to them. And, of course, Dayna is a total rockstar of a lead singer!
We truly had the time of our lives dancing and singing at our wedding. And a huge part of that is owed to Aaron and the Lucky Devils Band. Thank you for everything!
Lucky Devils Band are hands down the only band I would ever consider recommending.
From their organization, preparation and planning (Jefferson), to their performance at our reception (Geechi, you were amazing! The whole band was phenomenal!), Lucky Devils was a class act and brilliant performers, with the best professionalism and follow-through.
I wanted a great singer/vocalist, with the range to sing jazzy Sinatra and then flip to upbeat John Legend, but could also hit Ray LaMontagne, too. Do you know what I mean? I wanted a real cool cat. And Geechi was the man. He delivered a home run! And what WOULD and COULD have been terrible, was if they were a great sounding band, but couldn't deal with the technical stuff of working with the venue restrictions, etc. But INSTEAD, they have a true gentlemen and professional organizing everything behind the scenes! Jefferson worked with my music taste and demands wonderfully, integrated with our planner and our venue coordinator, and made sure his team on the ground nailed the delivery. And that's exactly what happened with Geechi. Just perfectly delivered...Everyone kept saying how awesome they were and that "this is the funnest wedding" they'd ever attending. How cool is that?! Perfect compliment for our selection of Lucky Devils, in my opinion.
There's really not more I can say. There is likely not a better, more professional and amazing sounding live band. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS about them...So, if you THINK they could be a good fit, let me finalize your selection process...give them a shot. They will not disappoint.
Amazing!! The Lucky Devils Band absolutely made our wedding reception! They struck just the right vibe, and made it feel like the amazing party we had always pictured. Live music really makes an event special and memorable, in a way that a DJ just can't. So many of our guests kept asking us where we found this amazing band! They were so versatile and did an incredible job of reading the room. Definitely some of the best money we spent (and they were also very affordable compared to other bands!!). Absolutely one of the highlights of our reception. Thank you Lucky Devils!
The Lucky Devils played our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! Communication with Shea was great throughout, he was so helpful.
I was only concerned about my walking down the aisle song, "Crazy in love" 50 shades of grey london piano players version, and our first dance song- "500 miles" sleeping at last version. I don't know why I was worried they executed perfectly. They introduced us, perfectly right before the first dance, and played great songs the entire night! They were awesome I would recommend to everyone, great price point , amazing value!
I cannot thank you and your bandmates enough. You MADE the party. It was the first time in the history of our events that everyone got out on the dance floor! The band was incredible - they read the room brilliantly and created a highly memorable experience for us. I will be recommending you to anyone I know who is looking for musical entertainment at their event.
Thank you again for everything. You guys are phenomenal.
BEST BAND YOU WILL FIND..... especially for the price!!!
My husband and I hired the San Diego Lucky Devil's Band for our wedding in March. We knew the band was one of the most important aspects of our wedding and spent months searching for the perfect group. After watching video after video of boring traditional wedding bands we discovered the Lucky Devil's Band.
We immediately knew they were the perfect combination of that modern, soulful, exciting Band we had been searching for. I HIGHLY recommend asking them to send you a demo CD. They have a lot of clips to listen to on their website but their demo CD really gives a better understanding of who they are (full songs, not just clips). If you are still unsure they have monthly free showcases where you can check them out live. We booked them before seeing them live (because we live in Arizona) but to no surprise were extremely blown away by their live showcase one we did get out to SD to see them before the wedding.
Like I mentioned it was a little scary booking a band out of state but Kevin could not have made the process any smoother for us. We had several hour long phone calls to discuss everything: What music we liked, what we didn't, our vision for the day, specific songs we wanted them to learn, the vibe we were going for. They typed it all up and provided a timeline for the day of. They even learned a brand new song we requested for our first dance the week before the wedding and absolutely killed it the night of!
Every individual in their group is extremely talented and they could charge WAY more money then they do. Our wedding could not have been any more magical and a huge part of that is because of the Lucky Devils Band. We hired a trio for our outdoor cocktail hour and a five piece for the reception. They also did the MC service for us. We made it clear from the beginning that our wedding was going to be a younger group who like to dance and party. The Lucky Devil's Band had EVERYONE and I mean everyone up dancing all night long! By the end of the night we were all jumping around laughing, being silly, letting loose and most importantly celebrating our marriage the best way possible.
Hopefully my review has convinced you to book them. I promise you no one will do more Band research then my husband and I did and you WILL NOT find a better band in this price range (or even higher) anywhere. Hands down best wedding vendor decision we made.
Thank you Lucky Devil's Band for keeping Club DuFour Rocking all night long. We had the best time of our lives!!!!!!!!!!

We hired the Lucky Devils for our wedding in 3/16 to play for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they were amazing! The band was super professional, arrived early, and they were all so incredibly talented! The band took our reception to the next level. They listened to our song preferences and chose the perfect music to set the tone we wanted. We had some guests that said they had never danced at a wedding before, but couldn't help themselves from joining in on the dance floor because the music was so good. We are so glad that we went for the live band instead of a DJ. We have already have friends saying they want to hire the Lucky Devils for their wedding. I highly recommend them, and Brian was a pleasure to work with during the planning process.
The Lucky Devils were key to all the fun at our wedding and we couldn't thank them enough. We got so many compliments from guests for the cocktail hour set and especially for the evening set. They played the best songs and all of ones we requested and kept the crowd going. We can't compliment them all enough for your hard work and energy. Our guests are the partying types, but it was brought to another level with the band.
We were so incredibly lucky to have LDB play our wedding – they were seriously awesome! I would even venture to say they made our wedding! We went to watch one of their showcases and loved them so much we went to the next few. We really wanted a band that would get everyone dancing, and they did exactly that, for the entire reception – all our guests raved about them and no one even finished their dinner (which was delicious), they were all up dancing so quickly. I would hire them again for any event. They easily plaid the songs we requested for our ceremony, first dance, and any other special requests and had such a wonderful stage presence. LDB is an incredibly talented group of artists, professional, and amazingly affordable. Definitely the best of the best :).
Excelente música y energía!!!
Cuando fuimos al showcase a ver a los Lucky Devils quedamos impresionados, pero fue después de la boda que vimos que eran mejores de lo que pensamos!! Recomiendo mucho a los Lucky Devils!! Realmente hicieron que nuestra noche especial fuera perfecta!! Nuestra familia y amigos no pararon de bailar en toda la noche. Los músicos son muy profesionales y respetaron nuestra selección de canciones!! Muchas gracias Lucky Devils!!
I would recommend this band for any wedding. They had wonderful communication during the planning process (even though we live states away). The day of the celebration, they were on time and communicated with all needed parties. The performance was amazing, we had a small wedding but they got everyone dancing and having a good time!
This group of musicians!! When they say they pride themselves in reading a group of people and desire to make your event a success, THEY ARE TELLING THE TRUTH!!! In our eyes having a successful party means everyone is up dancing! Even the stodgy doctor that feels too old!! The Lucky Devils did it!! BOOK THEM!!! You will never regret it!!
If we had hired them only as the band they would get 5 stars. The band was awesome and they were a hit at our wedding. We however did hire them as the MC as well and that was definitely a mistake. They did not really announce our first dance so no one at our wedding really saw it, not to mention in the middle of the first dance their equipment shreaked really loud. During the introductions they announced someone in our wedding party with the wrong name, and introducing the different events was always awkward and they could not find the music which I renamed "Father Daughter Dance" , "Mother Son Dance", etc. which was in the "Wedding Playlist" as I told them in the detailed instructions we went over before the wedding. Finally Brian the band coordinator was so incredibly unresponsive!! We actually set up a time to talk on the phone and I took 2 hours off of work while I sat there and wait for his call. The call never came. Later he said that he had so many other calls and they all ran over so he missed mine. When I finally did get him his kids were all screaming in the background.
In my opinion they should not MC events, they are not nearly prepared enough for that. They were actually reading all of the MCing information we had gone off of on an iPhone.. really????? You couldn't have at least printed it out?
Response from the Vendor on 03/30/2016
On behalf of myself and the entire Lucky Devils Band I would like to offer the sincerest of apologies for any lack of quality regarding the MC service at your wedding on April 18th 2015.
We are glad that the band was such a huge hit with every...
body, that is definitely what we strive to deliver. I would like you to know that since the night of your wedding we have made the necessary changes needed to bring the standards of our M.C. service up to the level of our musical performance.
We truly appreciate your feedback and wish you all of the best, thank you for letting us be part of your big day.
If you need anything else please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thank you,
Kevin

Music is one of the most important things at the wedding. Right up there with who you're marrying. The Lucky Devils band is the way to go! Shea was a total Rockstar in organization as well as music selection, planning etc. The online portal is absolute Genius! It made it so easy for us to decide on the music. He also sent us our lead singers strongest songs and they were all relevant, lively and sounded amazing. Shea even threw in a few extra band members which was a surprise and totally appreciated! Can't thank the team enough. I'm still getting compliments on the music and nobody left the dance floor that night.
For our wedding - my husband and I wanted a band that could do a mix of classic and current hits and really get the party going. After seeing the Lucky Devils at a demo - I knew we had to have them. They are honestly the best and our guests still keep talking about how GREAT our band was. We also used their services for my ceremony - we had their guitarist play - and during our cocktail reception - for a great, jazz trio. Shea is the best and a gem to work with. I wish I had another big event coming up where I could recommend them because they are honestly the BEST. No bother looking anywhere else for a fabulous wedding band!
Wow, words cannot describe how amazing this live band was at our reception!
They highlighted my bridal experience by a clutch performance of the f.r.i.e.n.d.s. theme song mid-reception which absolutely made the experience perfection!
We spent the extra amount for the MC and it was totally worth it, the whole team was fantastic.
I want to have more events now just to be able to use this spectacular group!
I'm beyond impressed with this band!
