Best Band - Worth Every Penny

on't even hesitate! The A List was THE best wedding band and I have been to too many weddings! We're so lucky they came to Cabo for ours. I booked them after reading reviews & seeing videos without seeing them live, so it was a gamble, and they are the #1 thing guests are raving about our wedding weekend! Working with Downbeat was seamless but still felt personal. Talking with Diego & Payson, we knew we were in good hands. Our planners also love that Downbeat handles their own travel & equipment - one less thing to worry about! They show up professionally & perform incredibly. All band members were very nice, engaged with our guests more than other bands do, and played such a great mix of music beyond standard wedding songs. Were also thankful for their "base band" package so we could afford their flying to Cabo. I would hire Downbeat 100 times over.. Feeling grateful

Unbelievable Experience

It was an unbelievable experience with this band. They performed everything with 110% (dancing, grooving, singing), played all requested songs / did not play any songs & genres we asked not to, and truly made sure that we (the bride & groom) felt so celebrated. Could not recommend this band more! They even played our favorite song, Treat You Better by Rufus Du Sol, and it could not have been a better hit.

10/10 – The BEST Wedding Band Ever!

Where do I even begin?! Our wedding would not have been the same without this incredible band. From the very first note to the final encore, they had our entire guest list on their feet—dancing, singing, and absolutely loving every moment.

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! 💃🕺🎶
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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!

Confetti Skies Confetti Skies Wedding Planners

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.
