An absolute BLAST!

From the beginning of our engagement, we knew we wanted a live band at our wedding and after talking with several bands in the area - Cover Down stood out! Mike was easy to work with, always quick to respond, and met all our wedding day needs! Mike worked with us on everything from the venue to the timeline and offered lots of helpful advice for any questions we had. We hardly left the dance floor as Cover Down kept the party intense for hours!! We are still receiving compliments regarding the music and how fun the band was!

Best band!

Cover Down was the highlight of my wedding!!! Mike was professional, responsive and very easy to work with throughout the entire planning process – from customizing song preferences to organizing the flow of the evening. I received so many compliments from guests telling me how talented the band was and how it was the most fun they had ever had at a wedding. The energy they created was incredible – they played a great mix of songs from oldies to top 40 and kept the dance floor packed all night long! Thank you so much Cover Down for making our wedding a night to remember!

Mike and his band are amazing! They were very flexible when it rained on our big day and things on the schedule changed. The music was amazing and got everybody up and moving! I had so much fun with my friends on the dance floor and wouldn't change a thing. They make the planning process easy and are always there if you have any questions. We would definitely hire them again.

The Cover Down band was the life of our wedding reception (in November)! We were relatively anxious about hiring a band unheard, and luckily were able to hear the band play - Danny, Katrina, Mike, etc. - at a local bar about 2 months before booking them - We were sold within the first 10 seconds of hearing them - they have an incredible energy and fantastic talent. From the first point of contact, Mike was clear in his communications, professional and easy to work with! The day of, of course, we had changes and the band was very accommodative and to this day, we get so many compliments on their performance and energy! Couldn't have asked for more!

My husband and I are big music lovers and it was one of our top priorities to have a great live band at our wedding. We wanted a band that was affordable and offered DJ services as well, but most of all we wanted a band with a great song list. Cover Down was perfect! My husband found the band and handled most of the communication since music was one of his "wedding tasks." He said Mike was professional, quick to respond, and very easy to work with. He had a pretty laid back style, but anything we asked for was no problem. The band clearly has a lot of experience and didn't need any hand-holding. They were also willing to drive from Plano to Tulsa (where our wedding was held) at no charge!

We asked the band to act as emcees in addition to providing entertainment, and they were great about double checking the pronunciation of our wedding party and toasters' names, which was nice. They also provided lighting and all of their own AV equipment. The lighting was enough to enhance a very large ballroom (we also had a separate uplighting vendor), and the colors and patterns from Cover Down's spotlights made for some amazing photos. But of course the best part was their MUSIC! Cover Down played all of our favorite songs and nothing from our do-not-play list, and our guests had a blast! We have so many great photos of guests dancing up a storm, and at the end of the night no one wanted to leave! Good thing we had an after party!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
