Downtown Collective

re worked out). Each set list was tailored to our preferences and our guests could tell. They told us that their song list was just a starting point, and additionally played a TON of songs that we shared that we loved. We received so many compliments and inquiries about the band throughout the evening and after! The dance floor was packed from the first song until the last song, and that is exactly what we wanted. The entire Downtown Collective Band was extremely fun and interactive with all of the guests throughout the night, which gave us exactly the atmosphere we were looking for. A guest shared that one of the band members even offered to show his son some of the instruments he was interested in during one of the band's breaks. We chose the gold package and definitely recommend the horns for an extra special evening and vibe! Thank you so much to Ether, Cornell, and the whole band for making our night SO fun and special! We thoroughly believe we made the best choice possible when it comes to the band at our wedding!!

memories you make dancing to their music for years to come. TDC had family members from 13 to 80 on the dance floor, and friends from all corners of our lives (and the country, for that matter) dancing together like they’ve known each other a lifetime. And with good reason: the vocals, the instruments, the energy, EVERYTHING, was perfect. They also made sure the evening went just as planned—down to the minute—without a single hiccup. Our wedding day was nothing but a dream, in large part thanks to TDC. Our experience with TDC was also incredible in the months leading up to our wedding. Ether was a dream to work with: he answered every question we had (FAST, too), helped us develop the perfect timeline, and learned enough about us from our conversations and form responses to curate the PERFECT set list with the band for wedding day. For all you out there planning, I know all the logistics can be stressful, but working with TDC takes a significant amount of that burden off your shoulders. To have TDC with us and our friends and family on wedding was worth every single penny, and the memories we made are utterly priceless. We will never forget the joy you brought us, Downtown Collective! THANK YOU! PS: We strongly encourage you to have a private last dance. TDC will make this unforgettable, too.

about how great the band was. The dance floor was packed for 4 straight hours and the memories they helped us create on our day will stick with us for a lifetime. I can not recommend a better band and group of individuals to work with. If there was an option to give these guys 10 stars I would choose that, as 5 simply isn't enough!

n the dance floor all night. They were extremely flexible and sensitive to the styles of music we chose for the reception and were extremely professional at every step in the process, including their DJ services on the wedding night. I hope we can hire them for other events in the future. We got so many compliments from our guests that Downtown Collective was one of the highlights of our wedding. Many of our guests have reached out, hoping to hire them for their own events, because they thought they were so amazing. If you're even remotely considering hiring Downtown Collective for your wedding, don't hesitate to do it! You won't regret it. They made every step of the process easy and fun, not to mention delivering an unbelievable product at our reception. So thankful for their amazing talent and work, and we'd hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Downtown Collective!!!!!!!!

night long with songs everyone loved. I highly recommend this band if you are looking for one for your wedding reception! - Sarah (Lukas) McMahon - S.Lukas & Company Wedding Planning

and played a great variety of music, not to mention each band member is crazy talented. They engaged with the guests the perfect amount. They also MC’d and did an amazing job keeping things smooth, and were so so professional. You’re making a huge mistake if you don’t book this band!

work with, they even learned our first dance song for us! Both my fiance and I love music and live music, but were nervous about hiring a band we had never seen live before. We decided it was well worth the investment to hire TDC after watching videos and hearing reviews about them rather than hire a DJ. We knew they would be great, but they still managed to blow us and our guests away. We would recommend them 10/10 bang for your buck over a DJ - they can play any type of music, truly!! One of our friends is already using them for their wedding next May! Thank you so much for the amazing time. We can't wait to see you guys again at future NE weddings!

nd them enough!

member of the band was polite, prompt, engaging, and genuinely excited to be there. When you’re planning a wedding or other large event, it’s so refreshing to have vendors who are so professional that you know you don’t have to worry about a thing. Communication: - The band’s leader, Ether Saure, is extremely organized and communicates VERY well. Every part of the process, from booking to the day of the event, was 100% seamless and efficient. He reached out 6 weeks prior to our event and scheduled a conference call to go over all of the night’s details. Every time we reached out to him, he responded very promptly. All in all, it made us feel so at ease knowing that everything was taken care of well in advance. Sound: - This band sounds INCREDIBLE. I can’t even describe it. We’ve been to dozens of weddings over the past few years, and no wedding band we’ve ever heard even holds a candle to Downtown Collective. It’s so fun to get texts days/weeks after the wedding from guests, talking about how our wedding band was by far the best band they’ve ever heard live (wedding or not!). We come from a family of professional musicians, and every single one of them raved at how amazing the band sounded. Energy/Fun: - Perhaps most importantly, Downtown Collective had the dance floor jam packed from the first song to the last song. Wedding guests from their 20s to their 90s were breaking it down for hours on end. People told us they’ve never had so much fun at a wedding in their lives. Emcee Skills: - Downtown Collective has two lead singers, Ether and Cornell, both of whom are extraordinarily talented emcees. They navigated through our wedding reception program with ease, and had the crowd engaged and laughing at all times. All in all, choosing Downtown Collective was absolutely the best decision we could have made. We are so thankful to Ether and the whole crew for being such an amazing part of our wedding night!

g the brass section, it amped every song up to the next level! They played such a wide range of music and kept the energy of the crowd up. We had so many people (of all ages) come up to us just to compliment the band. We already know that the music and dancing will be one of if not the only things people will remember from our wedding over the years! They were just as great to work with as they were to listen to. Ether made everything so easy and stress free throughout all of the planning working up to and especially on the big day. He kept the reception running smoothly and made sure that we got all of the big events done on time without a hitch. Even our venue made sure to let us know that they loved working with the band to make our day happen! We always knew we wanted a live band over a DJ, but Downtown Collective surpassed every dream and expectation! We can't recommend them enough!!!

ad so much great energy and talent our party kept asking for one more song. Since our wedding a few weeks ago we continue to get asked "what was the name of that band, they were so good!" Since our wedding we've we're lucky enough to have them again at our cousin's wedding and my mom's 60th birthday party!

ceremony with a violin, piano, and vocalist; we got so many compliments. They truly made our wedding day special and focused on us!

for our wedding, including our first dance song. Our reception was a blast because of them! They were also a breeze to work with, were very responsive and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. A bride's dream!

our "spotlight dances" that much more special by playing them live (first dance, father/bride, mother/groom). We would definitely hire them again!

lived up to it and went above and beyond! We have gotten soooo many compliments on you guys, and we couldn't agree more. The day was everything we were hoping for, thank you for making it such an epic celebration!

recommend and hope to see them perform again at future events!

e brass section adds a huge wow factor. They have a long list of songs that they already know but they were also able to learn my husband and I’s first dance song, which was so special. They kept the dance floor packed all night long!!

e most incredible energy! I cannot more highly recommend them!

oor all night long. I would book them over and over again for our wedding! I highly recommend them if you want to have a good time!!

e a schedule for our reception. They have a good song selection that kept the dance floor full the whole time! They were willing to learn songs we requested, and even let me play and sing a song with them on stage (with some rehearsals beforehand of course)! From the first note until we left, we knew that hiring Downtown Collective for our entertainment was the right choice. The only problem we heard is our guests said they were too loud. If their volume was at 10, we wish it were at 8 instead. Other than that, we had no problems. Having a live band instead of a DJ was a great decision!

they even learned and played songs by our request. 20 out of 10, WOULD RECOMMEND to anyone who wants to have a blast at their wedding. We are looking for an excuse to hire again soon!

their list of songs for our first dances. Would highly recommend Downtown Collective.

t to Downtown Collective! Four weeks post wedding and I still have wedding guests reaching out to me to obtain their contact information. They put on a phenomenal show with a wide variety of musicians and genres of music. I can't thank them enough for making our day so special :)
