Uptown Sounds NY

We had the absolute best experience with Loren & Marv from Uptown Sounds NY! From start to finish, they were professional, energetic, and incredibly attentive to the vibe of our wedding. They did an amazing job reading the crowd and choosing music that kept everyone engaged and on the dance floor throughout the entire night. One of the most important things to us was having a DJ who could really feel out the crowd rather than simply following a playlist, and Loren & Marv completely delivered. They kept the energy high, were so upbeat and personable, and created an atmosphere where everyone—from our younger guests to our older family members—could have a great time. Our dance floor was packed all night, which really says it all! They played such an important role in making our reception fun, lively, and memorable. We were so happy to have Loren & Marv be part of our wedding and would absolutely recommend Uptown Sounds NY to anyone looking for a DJ who knows how to keep the party going. Our wedding truly would not have been the same without them!

DJ Loren was seriously one of the MVPs of our wedding. Uptown Sounds is one of those services where you do not fully realize what a difference true excellence makes until you experience it. Loren seemed to know the exact right balance between giving us space to handle the other details of our wedding and knowing when to step in, follow up, or remind us of something important. When we met with Loren, he asked incredibly detailed questions to help us plan every part of the reception. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, he patiently responded to all of our messages, changes, and requests for his opinion. He consistently followed up, updated our notes, clarified anything that could have been misunderstood, and reminded us when we had forgotten to make a decision. Even while planning his own wedding, he was one of the most attentive and professional vendors we worked with. He always made us feel like we were in good hands and genuinely lucky to have him on our team. On the wedding day, things went significantly off schedule, and some plans changed at the last minute, including our wedding party changing their entrance. Loren and the entire Uptown Sounds team were incredibly responsive, flexible, and professional. They kept everything moving seamlessly through all of the changes and chaos without making us feel stressed or drawing attention to anything that was going wrong behind the scenes. Our MC was also fantastic. He reminded us where we needed to be and what was happening next without ever being overbearing. When other parts of the coordination fell through, he stepped in, communicated with our guests, and helped keep the reception from becoming disorganized. Honestly, their team helped save our wedding from falling into chaos when we were running very late and the original timeline was no longer working. The music was amazing. Our bridal party and guests are still talking about how good it was and how much fun they had. During the dancing and reception, the team also made sure guests received all of the fun props and extras we had planned, which added so much energy to the dance floor and gave us one less thing to worry about. The photo booth was another huge highlight. We were looking through the pictures the next night and cracking up. The quality was incredible—we honestly had no idea photo booth pictures could look that good—and the props were so much fun. Everyone got to take printed photos home, and Uptown Sounds sent us the full online gallery the very next day. At the end of the night, their team also reminded us to take photo booth pictures with some of our guests. The wedding went by so quickly, and there were people we barely got a chance to see, so having those photos means more to us than we can explain. They are memories we will truly treasure forever. Loren and Uptown Sounds went far beyond simply playing music. They helped organize the flow and energy of our entire reception, made sure so many small details actually happened, and kept everything going when the night did not unfold according to plan. We truly lucked out by having them. We cannot thank Loren and his team enough and would recommend Uptown Sounds without hesitation.
