Non-negotiable
They were incredibly flexible and open to trying new things, and they even learned the songs we specifically requested—which meant so much to us. Their performance was phenomenal—the energy, the talent, the crowd engagement—it was all there. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good the band was!
We’re so thankful to AMFM for helping make our day unforgettable. Truly top-tier performers and people. Highly, highly recommend!
Best Band - Worth Every Penny
Unbelievable Experience
10/10 – The BEST Wedding Band Ever!
Their talent is undeniable. Every song, whether it was a classic, a modern hit, or our special requests, was performed with so much energy and soul. It honestly felt like a private concert tailored just for us. The vocals were amazing, the musicianship was top-tier, and their stage presence? Electric.
What really blew us away, though, was how easy they were to work with. Super professional, responsive, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Unforgettable.
We’ve had SO many guests tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and they all mention the band as the highlight. We couldn’t agree more. If you're on the fence, don’t be. Hire them. You will not regret it.
Thank you for making our night so magical—you were everything we dreamed of and more! 💃🕺🎶
Best band ever!
The a-list is worth every penny!
They provided the music for our whole day - ceremony, cocktail hour, reception; and I honestly have no notes. They were SO talented, SO easy to work with, had SUCH stage presence. They had the perfect balance of crowd interaction and they truly kept the energy up all night.
I HIGHLY recommend the band we booked!!!
Best Wedding Band We Could Have Asked For!
Greg and I, along with many of our guests, have attended weddings featuring celebrity performances from artists like John Mayer and Flo Rida, yet everyone agreed that Gold Standard was by far the best band they’d ever seen. Their skill, versatility, and connection with the crowd created such an electric atmosphere; we genuinely wished we could have them following us around, making every moment feel as special as they made our wedding day.
If you're considering them for your event, don’t hesitate – they are worth every bit and more! We wouldn’t think twice about reaching out to them again for future events.

Professional Network & Endorsements
What a great company to work with. We highly recommend them for your wedding!
Downtown Beat LA is the first group we recommend for our clients who are interested in a live band for their wedding or event. Their onstage presence, sound, vocals, and energy gets everyone on the dance floor moving and singing along! They also understand the logistics and dynamics of events and are not just there to perform but to create entire experience. They were a pleasure to work with and hands down our favorite band in the industry!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Downbeat LA. Our client hired their band, The SoulTones, and I couldn't have been happier with their professionalism as well as their ability to get EVERYONE on the dance floor. All of the band members and sound crew were so great to work with and very respectful. The band was amazing and I loved their energy. I also really liked how the sound engineer was constantly checking to ensure the sound was perfect. Overall, I really enjoyed working with such a talented bunch of people and I enjoyed working with Diego on the planning side. If anyone is looking for a live band, I definitely recommend them! The quality of their services is outstanding.
