The Platinum Beat is Southern California's favorite wedding, event, and party band!
We're a high-energy group of seasoned pro musicians (many of whom have toured with "big names") who are veterans of the Southern California high-end music scene. Many of us have performed together for over a decade, so we're like family.
We're different from most bands and entertainment agencies. We take the time to design a custom music program for our clients -- even the wackiest mix of genres is right up our alley! And we provide a dedicated contact prior to the event to ensure that all questions will be answered promptly.
Stacy Anne and the Master Plan were awesome to work with. Very quick to respond, professional and the nicest people. They were a great fit for our event and worked with me to create the show I wanted. Hire them!
Stacy Anne and her band The Master Plan entertained Fillmore summer concert goers Friday night with two hours of country hits. Her wonderful audience engagement made the music come alive with dancing and singing!
Response from The Platinum Beat:
It was such a pleasure working with you, Greg! Thanks for being such a great partner.
As I celebrated my 60th birthday surrounded by friends and family, one of the highlights of the evening was undoubtedly the incredible performance by The Platinum Beat. Their music filled the air with energy, and nostalgia, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that perfectly complemented the occasion.
We were born and raise on classic rock and from the moment they started playing, it was clear that The Platinum Beat wasn't just any band—they were seasoned professionals who knew exactly how to captivate an audience. What struck me most about the band was their exceptional talent and versatility. Each member of the band showcased impressive musical prowess, whether it was the soulful vocals, the electrifying guitar solos, the rhythmic bass lines, or the dynamic drumbeats. They played with such passion and enthusiasm that it was impossible not to be swept up in the music.
Overall, my wife and I cannot thank The Platinum Beat enough for making my 60th birthday celebration truly memorable. Their talent, energy, and professionalism exceeded all expectations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their special event. Thank you, The Platinum Beat, for a day of music and memories that will last a lifetime.
Response from The Platinum Beat:
Thanks so much, John (and Jojo!) It was our pleasure!
We were thrilled with the Platinum Beat's performance at our May, 2024 wedding. Stacey also added three additional horn players since we have always loved dancing to Motown songs at weddings that we have attended in the past. Highly recommend the horn section!
The band had everyone dancing with a great set list that spanned several genres that appealed to all ages. As a vocalist, Stacey has an incredible range and vibrant personality on stage (as well as in person). We also loved Saxxy Vocals (the sax player). Avelino, the guitarist, played a fun metal version of Pachelbel's Cannon as our recessional song. They dressed to the nines and interacted with the guests on the dance floor. They even let the bride take center stage for a moment during their performance (too bad she couldn't remember the lyrics to a song that she has heard hundreds of times).
It's clear that the Platinum Beat puts their heart and soul into their work. We hope we have another fun excuse to work with The Platinum Beat and hope to see them on the road!
Response from The Platinum Beat:
The Platinum Beat was so honored to provide the live music for your and Alex's special day! Thanks so much for being such wonderful partners.
The Platinum Beat rocked the house for our 180 person wedding. Guitarist Avelino learned a special request song, Canon Rock, for our recessional. Lead singer Stacey had all our guests on the dance floor from the first song. She also arranged for the band to include a 3 person brass section to give a real depth and party energy to our wedding. We are absolutely delighted with how the night went.
Response from The Platinum Beat:
It was such an honor to provide the live music for your and Morgan's special day! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of it.
OMG! Stacey and “The Platinum Beat” are absolutely awesome! They provided live music at our destination wedding on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Doing a destination wedding is tough, but The Platinum Beat really made things easy.
They designed a custom music program that made our special day even more special, from a heartfelt solo during the ceremony, to getting the party started during the dance program.
Through it all, they couldn’t have been more professional or easier to work with. We can’t recommend The Platinum Beat highly enough!
I hired The Platinum Beat to provide background music at a wine event I hosted. Preparing for the event was very professional with clear, direct communication. Their performance was exactly what I was looking for. It added energy to the event without overpowering the room. People were able to converse and also hear the music, as I saw many people swaying to the music. I certainly would hire them again.
I hired this band for an upscale gala in the San Diego area. Not only were they highly professional in their preparation, but their performance of each song was second only to the original performers.
Do your event justice and hire this band. I assure you, you won't be disappointed.
I certainly would hire them again.

WHO IS THE PLATINUM BEAT?
We're Southern California's favorite wedding, event, and party band! Our musicians are like family: Most of us have performed together for over a decade. And we're veterans in the SoCal music scene, with countless hours of experience "delivering the goods" at high-end and high-profile special events. (Some of us just came off of a tour with big-name artists!)
What separates The Platinum Beat from the competition? Our passion and attention to detail (we'll spend as long with you as it takes to design a custom music program for your event). Our camaraderie and genuine joy in performing together, which translates into a fantastic time for your guests. And unlike a music agency with enormous overhead (who pads its quotes accordingly), we keep our costs low, passing those savings on to you.
THE PLATINUM WAY:
We are the anti-cookie-cutter band, tailoring our music program to your event. Want an hour set of country music, followed by an hour of a DJ playing house music, then a throwback set of 70s hits? We've got you covered! Our genres include:
- Pop
- Rock
- Country (we can even offer an entire country-themed show, complete with line-dancing instruction!)
- Top 40
- Motown
- 90s
- 80s (we'll dress in authentic 80s costumes, and can even offer a top Madonna tribute artist!)
- 70s (we have both disco attire and bell bottoms)
-60s.... and more!
Our core five-person band consists of female lead vocalist, male lead vocalist/ guitarist, bass, drums, and keys. But we'll work with you to put together the configuration that's right for your event, such as:
- Instrumental soloists
- Acoustic duos or trios
- Add one or more horn players
- Add additional female or male lead vocalists
- Add a DJ or master-of-ceremony to your package.

- "Cheap Thrills" by Sia
