Uptown Getdowns Review

The Uptown Getdowns were amazing! We had a packed dance floor the entire night which I’ve never seen before at a wedding. They did an amazing job with the song selection, MC duties, and overall entertainment with the crowd. They took the extra step of learning songs for us and really making sure they were making our night special. Don’t hesitate booking them, you won’t regret it!

The Best band out there

The Uptown Getdowns are the best in the business, hands down. It would be easy to just say that they did a great job playing our wedding, or that they kept the dance floor rocking all night, or that they beautifully executed the music we asked them to play for our ceremony, or that the cocktail hour music they provided was perfect, or that their volume level was perfectly appropriate for all of those parts of our wedding, and they did all those things so so well. But they did all that and so much more on top of it all. The Uptown Getdowns learned an arrangement I gave them of our first dance song, and not only learned it and played it exactly like I arranged it, but even better than I had imagined. It was beyond perfect. They agreed to let my step daughter play the father daughter dance with them and even had us come by for a rehearsal before hand. They happily took some last requests we had and got them done without issue, in one case even ripping a song from YouTube the day of the wedding and creating an audio track that we asked them to play at the ceremony. Steve graciously worked with my dad months in advance of the wedding in secret to have the band involved with his speech. This band is professional as can be. Every aspect of what they do is the very definition of professionalism. From the very first details of the planning and gathering of information to the last note played of the wedding night, every aspect of it was handled with such professionalism, care, respect, kindness, attention to detail, and friendliness. But forget for a minute how great a band they are and how great they are at what they do, they’re also such good, kind, funny, and amazing individuals as people. They aren’t just there playing your wedding as a job, but they all genuinely enjoy what they do and it shows. They had just as much fun playing our wedding as we all had celebrating it. We had the version of the band with the horn section, and it added so much to an already great band. They also feature both male and female lead vocalist, and beautiful harmonies as well. That’s on the top of drums, bass, guitar, keys, and horns… the sound is so full and amazing. Their mix is great, volume perfect, and their energy is non stop all night. Oh, but don’t forget some slow songs to dance to mixed in with all that energy. They got that too. It’s the total package. I can’t say enough about this band and how great they made our wedding. These guys are the best out there. Full stop. Don’t even bother looking anywhere else, if you’ve found the Uptown Getdowns, then you’ve found your perfect wedding band.
