    The best wedding band ever!!

    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!!!

    Great wedding with a great band

    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

    Undercover Live Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks Grant! We had a blast with your family and friends!! We have always felt like family and it was special to see you get married. Wishing you all the best in your new adventures!!!

    Could not have asked for better!

    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. Thank you for making our wedding day perfect and magical.

    Outstanding

    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!

    Highly recommend

    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!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    We decided to go see the band after seeing all the 5 star reviews on WeddingWire. We drove from LA to Laguna Beach last minute to hear them play. We were only going to stay an hour, 2 tops. We stayed almost 4 hours listening to them as we were having so much fun listening and watching how much fun the crowd was having. There were more people on the dance floor while they played then when the DJ took over on their break. The energy was fantastic! We immediately booked them and have been grateful we did everyday. We gave them a few songs we wanted to play and the genres we liked and let them choose what to play from that. Everyone, and I mean everyone who attended our wedding, to this day, keep telling us what an incredible band we chose. In fact, when they were done and the venue was closing up, everyone kept asking for and encore. Apparently even a bystander outside was trying to ask people at the wedding who the band was so they could hire them in the future. I will be recommending them to anyone I know getting married in the future.

    Unbelievably Great!

    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.

    Kept the party going!

    My husband and I were very selective in choosing our band and spent considerable time going around town listening to other bands. We saw Undercover Live play a 5 piece set at a small local bar and were blown away. We requested a contract that day for an 8 piece band and couldn’t be happier.

    All of our guests raved about our wedding band, including numerous professional musicians in attendance. They sounded crisp and energetic all night and played an excellent hora. My husband was encouraged to perform with the band midway through the night and George accommodated with no rehearsal at all and they sounded fantastic! Overall, we could not be happier with our selection!!

    The BEST Band, absolute pros

    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...

    Best Wedding Planning Decision

    Worth it! I can't help but smile while reflecting on our experience with Undercover Live.
    We had the 8-piece band Undercover Live for our wedding reception at the Fullerton Arboretum's Bacon Pavilion. We also had their solo saxophonist playing for our cocktail hour. There's nothing like a saxophone to set the mood for the evening!
    These are top-notch musicians! They added an extra level of fun to a memorable celebration. Guests were dancing all night and they didn't want the music to end. People were asking me for the band information throughout the night so that they could have them at their future events. The vocalists were high-energy and interacted with us and our guests to keep the party going. The band learned a song we requested for our first dance since it was not on their song list, and it sounded great!
    They are so talented, it could have been so easy for the night to be a performance about them, but they did just the right little things to keep it our celebration. We asked if they would accompany my father-in-law as he sang for the mother-son dance, they said yes, and backed him up musically. They also accommodated my husband when he texted them separately to surprised me with a serenade.
    It was so convenient that Undercover Live was our cocktail hour music, AV system, MC, dinner music, and reception dance band. Carla was one of the vocalists and the MC for the night. She took notes from our event timeline and worked with our event coordinator to tailor her MC'ing to us as a couple and our event schedule.
    George was our contact for the quote and planning process. He was responsive to our emails and helped guide us in planning how to incorporate the band into our reception timeline. The electronic contract and payment process was easy and straight forward. He was also very pleasant in communicating what we would need to provide at the venue to ensure we hosted the band well (see below).
    If you are DIY planning your wedding like I did, here are some logistics to consider when planning to have Undercover Live at your wedding venue: we needed to provide the band with a green room (aka shared vendor room) for resting/changing in, vendor meals for the band members and the sound tech, a 16x20 foot stage, and power outlets at the rear of the stage (four 20-amp separate circuits, which we provided by working with our rental company to run extension cords from separate outlets to the stage).
    Book this band for your wedding!

    World-Class Entertainment

    World-Class Entertainment

    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.

    Best wedding band ever!

    Undercover Live performed at my wedding, and it was all our guests could talk about! We ran into some weather problems...we planned on having them outside, and there was rain scheduled to start within the hour, so they had everything set up 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!!

    Best wedding band ever

    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 Keeps the Dance Floor Upbeat and Alive

    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!

    Amazing wedding band!

    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!

    Incredible Experience!

    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!

    We couldn't say enough positive things about Undercover Live Entertainment. From their prompt communication to performing a song for us that I made up as a child to interacting with our dance floor and guests, they are a must for any wedding or event coming up in your life!

    Amazing Job by Undercover Live

    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.

    Incredible Night with Undercover Live Entertainment!!

    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 at the Rosewood in Santa Barbara 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!

    The best band

    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.
