Undercover met Celeste and Armin in the summer of 2014. They were looking for a great Los Angeles wedding band for their Taglyan Complex wedding on January 16th, 2015. Little did we know, this was a wedding that was a long time coming for these high school sweethearts! They really wanted to have an exciting wedding band instead of a DJ. One of the great things about Undercover is that we understand budgeting. We can come as a 5-piece band all the way up to 12-piece with 4 lead singers out front and a horn section! We crunched some numbers, found the perfect package for Celeste and Armin and marked the date on our calendar.

The band arrived at the Taglyan on January 16th to quite a bit of confusion. Why, you ask? No wedding planner! (Read our blog: why-hire-a-wedding-planner) We took some initiative, set up our equipment and were ready to go when the bride and groom showed up. The sister of the Bride volunteered to assist with the grand entrance and away we went! Since there have been many times that clients chose to go without a planner or the venue provided one that was not very experienced, Carla, our lead/emcee took complete control of the situation! She’s pictured below looking very confident with her mic in one hand and a clipboard in the other. Luckily, the families were very good-natured and ready to party! A spirited group always makes it easier for the band to do what they do best; having fun playing music for a wedding that guests will remember long after its over!
Here are some candid shots we captured from this Taglyan Complex wedding until we receive the professional pictures:
The first dance was made extra special with thick fog that billowed out from underneath the stage. It was bright and colorful, but it was also dark enough at the edge of the dance floor so all you could focus on was the two newly weds. You couldn’t have asked for a better moment to celebrate the best moment of your life. Undercover was thrilled to assist in realizing Celeste and Armin’s vision for their perfect wedding. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have shared this unforgettable moment with you two. Let’s hear what the happy couple has to say about Undercover Live Entertainment:
This band will not let you down! We had the 6-piece band, which worked really well. They are professional and will definitely work with you. We had a couple of dinner games that we wanted to play, specific song requests, along with particular phrasing to announce our wedding party, and they ran them perfectly. Everyone was dancing from age 20-70. This band can sing any genre of music from hip hop, top 40s, pop, classics, 70s disco, etc. The best part is everyone in the band can actually sing. They each add their own element to the group. I highly recommend this band for any occasion. Guests from our wedding are still raving about how great our band was. They are a great source of entertainment and music. -Celeste & Armin
