Testimonials

"Having the Exclusives play at my birthday party turned the celebration from the ordinary to a rip-roaring, exhilarating, fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime night. They brought an amazing energy to all of us. Everyone was out on the dance floor - from the 6 year olds to the 80 year olds. Alex's singing was fabulous. They created an atmosphere where *everybody* had a fantastic time. It was a party to remember, and many of my friends said they want to have the band at their next party because of the amazing energy they created. Thank you Exclusives for making my party the best in my life!!! You guys rock!"

“The Exclusives were easy to deal with, even as things changed. (We were at a large hotel that had many inflexibilities.) They worked around our event schedule nicely, and had the dance floor packed most of the time. I think the last two sets were 100% packed. I also appreciated the fact that they worked together musically, and weren't just a pick-up band that tries to out-shine or out-blast each other.”
--Alan G, Anaheim, CA (holiday party)

“The Exclusives were a very professional band and all enjoyed them very much.”
--Bo D, Dinner Dance, Los Angeles, CA (holiday party)

“The Exclusives played our wedding and were absolutely tremendous. Everyone danced all night. Alex and Lou are a pleasure to work with. They are totally professional on the business end and the performance end. Great musicianship, outstanding vocals, wide ranging songbook and terrific stage presence. With The Exclusives you will have no worries. Just a great time.”

“We enjoyed the band very much. They were very good in all the music that they played. I also appreciated that they have a female singer, as that adds a lot to a band. We were also impressed with the general appearance of the band members. We got many compliments from our guests. Many thanks to The Exclusives for a job very well done.”
—Mary C, Los Angeles, CA (wedding)

“The Exclusives met and exceeded all of our expectations. They put great care into spending time with us before our wedding reception to understand what we wanted, and then they delivered. They are real pros -- in their preparation, presentation, and the quality of their performances. They clearly care about their clients, are genuinely nice people, and are a cut above their peers.”
—Chris C, Pasadena, CA (wedding)

“From the moment I was put in touch with Alex Atencio and Louis Nicolaides, leaders of the band, and booked them for this special event my experience was nothing less than excellent. Their professionalism and flexibility was consistent throughout the whole process of hiring, during the event and post-event follow-up. I recommend them very highly. So, if you are looking for a talented and professional band that plays a diverse variety of music with a repertoire to satisfy all ages and tastes in music; this is the group! They are entertaining and engage the audience from beginning to end and the result is a successful event with "raving fan."
—Susan F, Los Angeles, CA (corporate function)

“The Exclusives were fantastic. They had a strong song list to pull from and had a great feel for the type of music to play at each stage of the reception. They are extremely professional and took care of everything, including sound equipment. The Exclusives were the one element of the wedding I did not need to worry about during the entire day.”
—Kari M, Marina Del Rey, CA (wedding)

“We thoroughly enjoyed the variety of songs and interaction between our guests and The Exclusives. They also did a great job reading the crowd and getting them going. The parents enjoyed the older songs, and the younger guests enjoyed the more contemporary songs. They were on time, and always available if I had questions. Having The Exclusives was one of the highlights of the my wedding reception, and it would not have been the same without them.”
—Krista P, San Pedro, CA (wedding)

“We enjoyed having The Exclusives at our wedding. Their range of songs and especially their knowledge of some of the more recent great songs helped make our wedding day special. Also, we were impressed with how organized and helpful their were in preparing for our wedding and didn't say no to our special requests.”
