This band is so much fun! Not only did they play for my husband and I’s wedding back in August, but they also played at my sister’s wedding and boy they did not disappoint. They are extremely professional, on time, responsive and made our reception fun. They are great at keeping your guest dancing and if you are on the fence of a DJ and a live band I have to tell you the band is the way to go and look no further than Undercover Live. My dad literally talked about how good they were in his speech, so I think that says just how great an investment they are for your special day.

BEST BAND EVER!!!
We hired this band for our 180 person wedding, and they were the highlight of the night! Seriously, the whole night everyone was dancing and coming up to us saying how amazing they were. We had the 8 piece band, and they coordinated our ceremony and cocktail music as well, which was beautiful. Everything was perfect! Everyone was dancing the whole night! I 100% recommend going with Undercover Live.
And if you’re deciding between a band and a DJ, this band is definitely the way to go! The way they mix and match songs and flow right into the next, there is never a break in the action. It is truly the coolest thing ever.
On top of their incredible performance, George and the team were so easy and nice to coordinate with. They first invited us to watch them play at a local bar, and they comped us tickets. They noted every detail about our wedding and made it so easy to have them set up at the venue. The MC made everything flow, from the first dance to the speeches to rockin the night away. If you’re reading this review, I am so happy you found Undercover Live for your event, because you’re going to have an amazing time! Thank you George and team!

Undercover is the best you can get for wedding entertainment. We had the privilege of seeing them perform at another venue before our own wedding and knew immediately that we needed to book them. They made the process incredibly easy and had no issues at all with some of our more specific requests too. Everyone at the reception commented on how excellent they sounded, thank you so much for making our special day so much fun!!

We booked Legacy band through Undercover Live Entertainment for my wife's 50th birthday. From the first phone call to the last song, the experience was exceptional. Communication and organization were excellent. Everyone was very clear on timelines and expectations. Best of all, Legacy was on point! Musicianship, professionalism, and entertainment was superb! I highly recommend both, Undercover and Legacy Band!

Undercover Live was the best decision we made for our wedding and truly made the party! My #1 priority for our wedding was for it to be the most fun party ever and this band delivered!!! George was so easy to work with. We are from NYC and east coast Jewish weddings have a different flow, so he was happy to discuss our wants and needs to create the perfect evening. We explained that we wanted all of our guests surrounding the dance floor before our grand entrance so we could do our first dance, hora and then go immediately into the first dance set before dinner. Undercover brought the energy and there was not a still body until we sat for dinner! They created such a strong energy that kicked off the night and led all the way through the reception. They were also fantastic in reading the crowd and started off by playing generational favorites and as the night progressed played more songs geared towards my 30 year old crowd. They did such a fantastic job engaging the crowd and the dance floor was electric the entire night. My husband and I agree they are the best wedding band we’ve ever seen and multiple of our friends said the same to us. I couldn’t say enough amazing things. If you want your dance floor to be electric all night, this is the band for you!

We are so happy that we booked Undercover Live for our wedding reception at the historic Mission Inn. We went with the 6-piece band as to have both the male and female lead singers. They were simply amazing singing our favorite Motown era classics to today's hit songs. They brought so much energy we had folks dancing up a storm all evening long. Working with George and Ivy beforehand let us share our vision and share the key songs we would like played. They took that to the next level by building on our idea and delivering so much more. We have received so many compliments from our guests about their enjoyment of our choice to go with a live band over a DJ. And that the band was one of the best they had experienced. Their engagement with the crowd was well received and helped to keep the energy up all evening long.
We highly recommend checking them out for your next event.

Undercover Live Entertainment knocked our wedding celebration out of the park! George Loreto was a pleasure to work with leading up to our big day. They were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout our entire planning process. The band’s high energy and tempo really gets the party going. We have received several compliments from our guests regarding the band’s performance. Would only recommend Undercover Live Entertainment for your wedding or other choice in live music!

We absolutely LOVED our band for our wedding on Oct. 28, 2023 and would unequivocally recommend them. We talked to several other bands and were quite discouraged until we found George and his team. They are incredible to work with, extremely flexible and patient, and genuinely kind people, not to mention exceptionally talented. Our dance floor was packed the entire time the band was out there - there was even dancing during the dinner set! They brought such an incredible amount of energy, talent and diversity, playing everything from the 50s to today. We continue to receive compliments six weeks after our wedding and I know multiple guests who are hoping to use them at future events. We had an absolutely exceptional team of vendors but the band is the most complimented of them all. My husband and I keep talking about finding an excuse for another party, just so we can have George and his team back! This band is 100% worth every penny we spent on them and I am so happy we chose a band as our predominant entertainment. I 10/10 recommend having a band elevate your wedding experience, and have zero hesitation recommending Undercover Live.

My wife and I have been following Undercover Live for a couple years now. We have seen them perform for large crowds at community 4th of July concerts, bars, and festivals. We KNEW they had to be our wedding band! Everything about the night and their set list was perfect and communication was awesome from George and their assistant. The band even allowed me to play a couple songs on drums which was a hit and everyone is STILL talking about it! Highly recommend for any wedding or function..thanks guys!!!

My wife Jenn and I got married on October 28th at The Crossing at Carlsbad. I’ve known Undercover for a long time since they play at the bar I work at. They were the only band I’d consider to play at our wedding. They were amazing, they kept the energy high and our guests on the dance floor all night long. It was a great party. They play all the hits from the classics to modern, rock, hip hop and pop. It really was an amazing day and a lot of it was due to Undercover! Thank you guys!
Love Jenn and Grant

We've been to three weddings since ours and I didn't realize how important the band was until I compared our dance floor to those who have DJs. A band may be more expensive, but it is SO worth it. When we first started planning our wedding, this is the one thing my dad told us was worth splurging on. So we looked at a few different bands in the area. Undercover definitely had the best reviews and George was always quick to respond so we booked them about a year ago.
I highly recommend having Undercover Live be part of your upcoming event / wedding. They played excellent music for all ages. Our dance floor was full the entire night. I am still getting compliments a month later on how amazing our band was and how much fun guests had dancing all night long. Nobody remembers the expensive cake or amount of flowers you have - People definitely remember whether they were awkwardly standing around or belting out on the dance floor.
I am so glad that we had Undercover at our wedding - They made the whole night complete! Worth every penny - Would highly recommend. You won't regret it!

We used Undercover Live for our recent wedding, as well as a family members wedding last year and they KILLED IT both times!!! Both weddings were two very different crowds... one was 200 people and the other was 400 people and this band played the perfect music and was so interactive with the crowd no one ever wanted to leave the dance floor at either events! HIGHLY recommend for any events you want amazing entertainment for!

It was such a joy having Undercover at our wedding! We hired the 6 piece band and they rocked it all night long, keeping the dance floor always fun and bumping. Their mashups were especially fun and unlike anything we've heard before and our guests raved about them. We also had them perform some softer songs during dinner and it was such a nice touch. Would recommend!!

We had Undercover Live for our wedding in La Quinta on May 6 and believe me when I say they blew us all away. The music, the vibes and energy could not have been better. We opted to add a saxophone player to the band and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing so as it took an already amazing band and made them that much better. George from the band was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole process and was willing to go above and beyond to deliver the best possible experience for us. Could not more highly recommend.

If I could give 10 stars I would!! Undercover Live was the first vendor I booked after we booked our date and venue and it was the absolute best decision. We booked them for our ceremony music (live guitarist), cocktail hour (jazz quartet), and reception (10 piece band). Guests were up and dancing before the dance floor was officially "open" which is ALWAYS a great sign. Worth EVERY last penny and looking back, I wish we had extended our reception so that we could have had more time with them on the dance floor. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the band was and we are still hearing about it weeks later. New hubs and I are already scheming on another event so that we can hire Undercover again!!
Leading up to the wedding, George was a dream to work with - I had a few song requests that were not part of their repertoire, which were happily accommodated. The band NAILED them and made my wedding "soundtrack" dreams came true. They easily accommodated other requests we made and ultimately blew us away with their on stage presence and flair. I knew hiring them would be a great decision and already had high expectations and they absolutely way beyond exceeded them all. THANK YOU George and team for making our wedding beyond special and the dance party we dreamed of!

Hiring Undercover Live as our band for our wedding was the best decision we could have ever made. All members of the band are so talented and great performers. They played songs from different decades and genres that appealed to all of our guests. You know you have an incredible band when the guests start dancing without even being asked to. Almost all of our guests came up to us after the wedding complimenting the band and saying how incredible they were. I cannot recommend this band enough!

By far the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process was hiring Undercover Live. We never saw them live and made our decision based off all of their amazing reviews and watching their videos on Instagram, and we're SO GLAD we chose them. Our guests keep talking about how good the band was. They had every single person dancing, from 3 year olds to 70 year olds and everyone in between. It was our dream to have a huge dance party at our wedding and they made it come true! They played every single request we had, nailed every single detail, even doing a certain version of a song we requested, and are just such absolute pros. They played everything from Earth Wind and Fire to Shania Twain to Blink 182 for us. Now we're just trying to figure out how we can throw another wedding just so that we can dance to them again...

George Loreto and the Undercover Live musicians are professional, talented, and worth every penny. When it comes to entertainment, they are truly experts at getting people on the dance floor and keeping the vibes high!
George really puts in an effort to get to know his clients; he spent hours on the phone with us throughout the planning process to learn about our needs and find ways to enhance the flow of the wedding. Through his years of experience, he is able to offer the kind of guidance that only a seasoned industry professional can provide. We even had a few last-minute changes to music that George accommodated graciously.
The energy and passion this band brings is unlike anything I've ever seen in a wedding band. The music and sound were top quality and the vocalists could easily be on the radio. We felt like we were dancing the night away at our own private concert.
Looking back, we simply cannot imagine having worked with anyone else to provide us with such a special, tailored entertainment experience.

As a professional dancer, selecting a band for my wedding was so important! I went and listened to a couple of bands locally and was BLOWN away with the performance from Undercover Live Band! George is wonderful to work with and the band has a large list of songs to chose from. I am originally from Alabama and they did an amazing job of including Sweet Home Alabama at our reception. All the guests are still talking about the music weeks later and people I never see dance were joining on the dance floor! They also have additional lighting to add which made all of our pictures beautiful! Overall we had an amazing experience with the band and would HIGHLY recommend them to bring your wedding music dreams to life!!

I never write reviews, but absolutely had to for Undercover Live. My wife and I got the 10-piece UCL band for our 225-person wedding back in August and could not have been happier. They were extremely professional and easy to work with from the start and so accommodating to our needs. George called a few weeks before the wedding to get a sense of the vibe/energy level we wanted and allowed us to request songs off of their already very extensive playlist. We gave them broad guidelines for the vibes we wanted for the ceremony, dinner and dancing, told them we wanted to PARTY, but that we wanted to make sure guests of all ages would be on the dance floor. They truly CRUSHED the wedding from start to finish. They were so fun, extremely talented, set the perfect mood during dinner, and hyped the crowd when it was time to dance. They hopped in the crowd and sang with us, and had so much fun the entire night. Every single member of the band was so talented - we were truly blown away by how amazing they all were. People left our wedding raving about the band, especially the 4 singers, saying they were the most fun wedding band they had ever seen. We've already had multiple family members and friends request their contact information. UCL made our wedding the most special, fun, magical, beautiful, amazing night we could have ever dreamed of. Thank you Undercover Live - you all crushed it!!

Undercover Live Entertainment was so easy to work with and the band was amazing. They were able to accommodate our song requests for the first dance, mother/son dance, father/daughter dance, and for other songs we wanted to have played during the reception. They were really easy to coordinate with and available to answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend Undercover Live for your wedding or event. All of our guests were up and dancing throughout the entire reception.

Undercover Live performed at my wedding, and it was all our guests could talk about! We ran into some weather, we planned on having them outside, and there was rain scheduled to start within the hour, so they had everything setup and had to slyly take everything down and move inside to a different location before the rain started. Not one person at dinner even noticed and they seamlessly moved to a new location in the middle of dinner. They had the entire crowd dancing the entire night, and stayed longer as well to help us out with the rain delay. They were so amazing and the lead singers had the most beautiful voices. Worth every penny!!

If you like to dance, want your dance floor rocking all night, and to host a wedding where everyone raves about the band: Undercover Live Band is the name and playing music is their game! George and his crew accommodated all our requests, including learning and playing fantastic covers for the bridal party & groom/bridal entrances, first dance, mother/son, and father/daughter dances. They also got everyone out of their seat for the Hora dance and not one guest sat down for the rest of the night while the band was playing. They were professional, fun, and read the room to keep the party alive. As a couple that loves a good dance party, we couldn’t be happier that we booked Undercover Live for our wedding and would recommend them to any friend!

We wanted a band that would be a good wedding band-folks who could read the room, get people dancing, and undercover totally delivered! We were amazed at their musicianship. People were on the dance floor all night, I think everyone danced at one point! We loved that they learned all the songs we requested for our grand entrance and first dances. Undercover was worth every penny. They made the party.

Being out of state, we didn’t get the chance to see Undercover Live before our wedding day. They came highly recommended to us and still managed to exceed our expectations. We used them for both ceremony strings and the main band for our reception. They kept the party going, crushing it with a wide variety of genres. Highly recommend George and Undercover Live for any event!

We are so happy with our experience with Undercover Live! We booked the Jukebox Band for our wedding, and all of our guests were so impressed by their performance. My husband and I gave them our first dance song a little over 2 weeks before the big day, and even with some last minute changes they learned the full song and performed it even better than the original recording. Although we didn't get to hear a lot of the playlist we created for their breaks (to be fair we were a little behind our timeline due to dinner service taking longer than expected) they played virtually nonstop during the whole reception, which was beyond incredible and what we had expected. These musicians are so talented and helped our night flow perfectly. I highly recommend them for your event or special day, they were the life of the party!

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Undercover Live, George and the rest of the band! We had a 10 piece band play at our wedding and a jazz trio at our cocktail hour at the Rosewood in Santa Barbara for our 200 guests and the band was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding! It’s been a month since our wedding and people have not stopped raving about the band - we have even had multiple people reach out afterwards and ask for our band name for future use at other weddings! People were dancing the entire time, and George and team really read the entire room throughout. A special shoutout to the singers as well - they were incredibly good and, as alluded to above, our guests have not stopped raving about them since the wedding. We would absolutely recommend Undercover Live Entertainment for anyone looking to have a live band at their wedding or event!

UCL was the perfect wedding band. George is a gem to work with - very responsive, good suggestions when you ask but otherwise down to take care of everything. I totally get why all our other vendors recommend them (also love that those in the business think so highly of them). Nothing threw him off and everything was perfection - even down to making sure we had a mic for our officiant and for our friend who played violin for our ceremony. I made a Spotify HH playlist and they took care of the rest. But the the band themselves? Outstanding. They made it a PARTY. People are still raving about it 2 months later. They just nailed it. We had a blast, they sounded wonderful, and there were 100 unforgettable moments. I'm endlessly impressed and HIGHLY recommend.

Undercover Live played for our destination wedding in Oaxaca, Mexico. EVERYONE loved them and everyone was dancing the entire time. Young people, older people, family, friends... they played music for everyone. George was professional and helpful throughout the planning process and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had so much fun at our wedding and honestly the band was 90% of making that happen!

Undercover Live was spectacular! Our wedding was 100 attendees and they played every song like it was 10,000. They were consummate professionals and were, even so, kind to let me sing Sweet Child of Mine with them. George absolutely shredded on the guitar, it was like we had Slash in the room but with a haircut!
The lead singer, I am unfortunately lapsing on her name at the moment. Was amazing, she also emeeced our wedding festivities, and it was so lovely to have someone do so, in such a sweet and professional fashion!
I think just about every member of the band sang lead for one song or several even the drummer! He sang all the high notes on Prince's "kiss".
Seriously, I could go on and on but they made the booking processes incredibly easy and simple custom tailored to your wedding or event needs. They just totally blew our socks off for the performance. We had easily 5 guests ask for their name so they could book them as well.
I cannot recommend them enough!

We hired Undercover for our 200 person wedding in October of 2021 (after moving it from May of 2021, which they were gracious with and accommodating), and it's the best decision we ever made! The band is super professional and learned many songs for us that we wanted incorporated. We had a two-piece for our ceremony that people absolutely loved and still rave about. The saxophone really set the mood! The two-piece played through cocktail hour and provided all sound needs. The 7-piece band played for our reception and was amazing! They really made our wedding memorable for all the guests and had everyone up dancing. Thank you Undercover! We wish we could get married again just to do it all over! :)

We are so grateful to have had Undercover Live (7 piece) perform at our wedding. It has been over 2 months and our guests are still talking non-stop about how incredible they were. Due to covid we were only able to watch videos of the band online and were slightly nervous headed into our wedding. George stepped us through the entire process and made us feel incredibly comfortable along the way.
The band was timely, professional, and greatly exceeded even our highest expectations. Before our grand entrance (and dinner) we were surprised to see all of our guests already on the dance floor having an amazing time. The only time the dancing stopped was during dinner. I can't say enough positive things about this band. Just book them and you won't regret it for even a second!!

Fantastic group to work with!
My new husband and I hired a string duet for our ceremony, and the wonderful Jukebox band for our reception, and the guests could not stop talking about how great they were. Both groups were able to learn our special songs beyond our expectations, and George was consistently prompt and friendly throughout the process. Highly recommended to anyone in the SoCal area!!

12/10 would recommend Undercover Live! They came highly recommended from a friend of ours who saw them at another wedding. We went to check them out at the sand piper in Laguna beach and we’re blown away by the talent and professionalism. Not only are they extremely talented and engaging for the crowd, they have a huge library of songs and will learn songs also if needed! This was by far the most memorable part of the wedding for us and guests alike. We are so happy we found them and made the decision to go with a live band!

Undercover was the highlight of the night. Fantastic to work with leading up to the event, and absolutely brought the party. Our friends keep commenting on how great the band was. They had everyone on the dance floor all night long! If you're considering them for your wedding or event.. the answer should be an easy yes!

They were very helpful with questions that we had before the wedding. During the wedding they kept the party going and everyone had a great time. All the guests had great things to say about the band. They were quick to accommodate requests that our guests had. There was never a dull moment.

Undercover Live Entertainment absolutely rocked the house for our wedding reception! Their music and sound is absolutely amazing and George was so easy to work with! He was so accommodating through COVID rescheduling and always answered our questions in a timely manner! Such a great addition to our night! Would recommend them to anyone!

WOW! Undercover Live Entertainment was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. At first I was nervous because I didn't plan to spend more money on music but they were worth every penny. They set the tone for the entire party and the dance floor was never empty, matter a fact, we actually broke it from dancing so much. They are incredible musicians and have great remixes to songs you know and love. They were very understanding when it came to what style of music we wanted and didn't sway from the requests. They even learned a favorite song for me! Hands down, best wedding band I could have hired! I am already thinking up a good reason to hire them again! & you should too, You won't be disappointed !!

I will start with this -- if Undercover Live is already booked the night of your wedding, you should consider moving your wedding date to make sure they can play yours. They are that good! I cannot imagine having a more fun, energetic, engaging and hard-working band play our wedding last weekend. Our guests cannot stop asking me for their contact information to play their own upcoming events, their ability to have the party going all night was remarkable. Undercover should truly be your first, second and third choice for music at your wedding.

It was a huge priority for my husband and me to be able to hire a live band rather than a dj for our wedding. After seeing Undercover Live at other weddings we knew the energy and fun their team adds to the event. George, the manager, suggested we work with Jukebox, one of their newer bands, because they fit in our budget and they were young and contemporary, but had a huge playlist of songs we wanted such as 60s, 70s and 80s.
Our dance floor was literally packed the entire night! The whole group had huge energy, and some of my most favorite moments were on the dance floor with all my family and friends.
The best part was that the band could cater to the crowd and ended up playing more 90s rock than I would have guessed. My guests LOVED it. You don't always know what your crew is going to want to hear but the band could read the dance floor to change things up as needed. Our last song was something I never would have picked for myself but the band knew my friends and family would be super into and let's just say I have a whole new love for Green Day now. They had every single person dancing and singing.
The whole night was amazing - thank you so much to Undercover Live and Jukebox. <3 <3 <3

We hired Analog Jukebox to turn up our wedding reception and they more than delivered!!! George was wonderful to work with, extremely responsive, and patient as he worked with us to find a band within our budget. To be perfectly honest, we were a little nervous since the band we went with did not have that many videos online to gauge their vibe but they absolutely KILLED IT. I was the bride and I was on the dance floor the entire night along with many others! Our guests raved about them too. We could not have asked for a better band for our wedding reception. Thank you, George and Analog Jukebox!!!! Would highly recommend to anyone.

George, You and your band were everything we had hoped for; fantastic sound, great energy, great music choices! We wanted a dance party and that’s what we got. Loved your guitar playing and the vocalist’s were amazing! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about our fabulous band. At times I felt like we were at our own private concert. Just loved watching all of you play! Thank you so much for playing an intricate part in making Katie and Jake’s wedding a huge success!
All my best, Sharyn (mother of the bride)

My partner and I found Undercover Live by word of mouth when we were planning our wedding, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to use them!
From start to finish, the band director, George, was professional, personable, and, most important to us, accessible. He routinely responded to our phone calls, emails, and text messages in an extremely timely manner and always took the initiative to make us feel like we were a top priority. Before selecting Undercover Live, we chatted with several other bands that were the complete opposite of the above, so George was certainly a breath of fresh air! He also went above and beyond to work with us to hone in on exactly what we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. As a bride coming from a family of musicians, we had lots of particular requests and concerns, and George made it a point to work with us to accommodate everything we wanted while respecting our budget.
The band has a pool of top notch talent. The song lists and breadth of versatility was exactly what we were looking for to ensure guest of all ages could have fun on the dance floor. George also takes pride in his band members and looks out for their best interests, which is always great to see.
If you’re looking for the most bang for your buck in the Southern California area, definitely reach out to Undercover Live. Your guests will thank you!

It’s been two months and people are still telling us how great our wedding band (Grilled Cheese SoundWich) was! We contacted George Loreto at UnderCover Live after seeing videos online of Grilled Cheese SoundWich’s high energy performances. George was professional, friendly, and very prompt in his responses, which helped as we had many many specific questions. It didn’t take long for us to schedule a phone interview, then work out a deal. I would give Grilled Cheese SoundWich 6 stars if I could. They kept the dance floor rocking all night long, they agreed to learn a few songs that were meaningful to us, and they were GREAT MC’s. I was impressed with how well they read and connected with the room. They were clearly not just performing some rote set playlist in order, they came to knock everyone’s socks off and they did! To anyone reading this I promise you will not go wrong with these guys, they were exactly the energy and vibe we were hoping for on our special day. Thank you guys!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Undercover Live. We booked their 10 person band, and they were absolutely incredible. The dance floor was electric and completely PACKED all night long. Even our parents friends did not get off the dance floor. From "Shout!" to "Good as Hell", there was a song for everyone, and all of our guests kept telling us that this was they "Best wedding band they had ever seen." They completely made our party!

We got married on 9.28 and Undercover made the reception so fun!! They had high energy and played an amazing mix of songs and genres! They had every age group on the dance floor. Even after the night all the guests kept coming up to us telling us how fun and great the band was! It was an easy process from start to finish and could not recommend them more!

This band is truly the best wedding band I've ever seen/heard and we feel so blessed to have had them to celebrate with! They absolutely made our night what it was! I left the dance floor at my own wedding one time and that was to go cut the cake. My husband and I received multiple texts the day after our wedding with people commenting on how incredible the band was. At one point in the night, we were all dancing and singing so hard that I forgot I was at my wedding... it felt like a concert. The band members will interact with the crowd and come onto the dancefloor which is so fun! As my review title says, after the last song our guests started chanting "one more song!" over and over again... and they were so nice about it and played one last song and they rocked it!! It was a joy and blessing to have them. They will amaze you!!

We had a small wedding of 17 people and so we just requested a singer and keyboardist and it was just absolutely perfect. They were professional courteous made sure they were organized. The keyboardist did a great job and the singer Tina was just absolutely tremendous she did a phenomenal job and had a great voice. We would recommend them to anybody.

Undercover live was a great source for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception!
They are the whole package! They not only kept the reception and party going at a great pace, Carla the lead singer and Emcee was on top of the timeline. They provided a piano and sax for the ceremony and cocktail hour! They are a lot of fun and play a lot of genres to keep you entertained. I would highly recommend using them for your wedding or any event! They are very easy to work with!

I would definitely definitely definitely recommend Undercover Live! They are a prepared, detailed-oriented, and versatile band that helped make our wedding vision a reality. We had a PHENOMENAL experience with them!! George is so responsive and easy to work with, which makes a HUGE difference! He accommodated all of our needs and requests and worked with us every step of the way! Carla, the emcee, is AMAZING! She said everything we wanted her to say and was super enthusiastic and got the crowd excited! The whole band is super talented and everyone was dancing all night! Everyone complimented me on the band all night and are still talking about them. I looked at a lot of bands and Undercover live seemed the most reliable, affordable, and fun, and they lived up to that and more!! They played all kinds of songs including top hits from today which was so fun. They all know each other and you could tell their chemistry on stage. Also the light crew and sound checks were perfect. We also got a violinist through them who was perfect. I am so happy we chose them.
