We can't thank Uptown Drive enough for making our wedding reception absolutely unforgettable! From the first song to the last, they were lively, energetic, and insanely talented. T...
heir performance turned our celebration into a full-blown party. Everyone was on their feet, dancing and singing along all night. Guests are still raving about the music! If you're looking for a band that brings incredible energy and top-tier talent, look no further. They truly made our night magical.
Everyone needs Uptown Drive at their wedding! I saw them for perform for the first time in Fredericksburg and took their card for when I started planning my own wedding. They were ...
one of the first vendors I hired and definitely the most complimented aspect of my wedding. My friends and family are still talking about how amazing the band was and I even had someone who attended book them for their own wedding. Uptown Drive made our wedding the best night ever and I can’t recommend them enough!
Uptown Drive is literally the GREATEST LIVE WEDDING BAND EVER!! Every single one of our guests raved about them to us saying, "OMG, this is BEST wedding band EVER, how did you find...
them?" Which of course made us feel amazing, but most importantly they rocked the night and we had so much fun dancing and singing with them.
As a musician myself I have very high standards so when I heard they have been playing together as a unit for like 15 years and I saw some of their videos, I could tell they were a battle tested band with talent oozing from every cell. Holy SH*%, did they put on a show!!
Everyone can sing amazingly well, play multiple instruments, and the singers come out into the dance floor and get the crowd hyped!!
Greg was so incredible and easy to communicate with too. Greg even helped me surprise my bride by learning one of our favorite love songs so I could sing it live to her with the full band! She literally melted, we crushed it live, and it goes down as one of my wife's favorite memories of her life!! WOW!!
Uptown also nailed our first dance song live and our last song live too creating life long memories. What other wedding band will give you those kind of unforgettable moments?! No one except Uptown Drive. Book them while you can b/c they are HOT and in HIGH DEMAND now after their stellar performance at our Best Day Ever Wedding. THANK YOU UPTOWN DRIVE!!
WOW - Uptown Drive was recommended by our event planners, and we were absolutely blown away by their performance! Our team did most of the interfacing with the band, but Greg was i...
ncredibly responsive on the few occasions we did reach out directly. Pretty much everyone who attended our party commented on the band being the best they've ever experienced. They selected great music based on our feedback, they deftly guided the flow throughout the night, and they kicked it up a notched and really got the party going after dinner. We planned to lean on a live band to be our primary entertainment, and they exceeded our expectations! We will be forever grateful to Uptown Drive for being a big part of what made our party so memorable for us and our guests.
Oh my goodness! Hiring Uptown Drive is one of the best decision we made for our wedding. They are hands down the best band in the biz, our dance floor was so packed and our guests ...
loved the music sooo much. We got so many compliments from our guests and everyone was so impressed by how amazing the uptown drive was. The energy, the music and the performances, you never want to end the party!!!
Hire Uptown Drive if you’re planning a party 🎉
Wow! Wow! Wow! I am pretty much speechless because this band is THAT good. I first want to compliment, Greg Williams, the owner of Uptown Drive. From booking all the way through we...
dding day, he was nothing but responsive, respectful and a pleasure to work with. As for the reception, they made it what it was! I think what is incredible about them is they entertain everyone (not only those dancing on the dance floor) because every song is a TRUE performance. I am not lying when i say this, every time I have seen someone that attended my wedding, every one of them (young or old) comment on how great the band was. FYI I'm three months out from my wedding, so I've seen a lot of my guests since then. They played the right music while everyone was eating and visiting and knew exactly how to transition to dance floor time by doing a conga line. They let my husband and I get on stage and sing which we will remember and cherish forever. They came out into the crowd and let out our guest sing. They came out in the crown and danced with us! Me and some of my guests joke that we would like to have another wedding just so we can have them play again. I could absolutely not recommend this band anymore! Stop here and BOOK THEM!!! P.S. I have included some pics to show you how much of a good time me and all our guest were having.
- A EXTREMLY HAPPY BRIDE
Uptown Drive was absolutely amazing!!!! We wanted a giant party for our wedding and Uptown Drive not only helped get the party started (people were dancing while the food was comin...
g out!) but they kept it going until the final minute. They had amazing dance moves and stellar voices. They kept the crowd engaged and came off the stage and into the crowd multiple times which people loved. Our guests raved about them all night and we couldn't be happier with our decision to have them. We can't recommend hiring this band enough!
This band CRUSHES. We hired them for our wedding at the Hyatt Lost Pines just outside of Austin. They did an outstanding job with our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They p...
layed an acoustic set during cocktail hour, which was phenomenal. For the reception, once the music started - it didn't stop. They kept the crowd engaged, had everyone singing/dancing, and put on a fantastic show. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. They are easy to work with, fun, and most of all, very talented musicians.
