    Awesome wedding band!

    We had the Downtown Band play at our wedding on August 23, 2020 and they exceeded our expectations! We had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid and they were so easy to work with throughout the whole process. We highly recommend them!!

    Book this band!

    Seriously, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding reception was booking The Downtown Band.
    They are top-notch in every way. The management team was so nice and great to work with.
    AND THE BAND. We absolutely loved them, but after hearing so many friends and family praise their performance as well...we knew we booked the right band for the job :)

    The best wedding band!!!

    If you're currently looking for a wedding band and are considering The Downtown Band, stop looking and book them. We had The Downtown Band at our wedding this past weekend and couldn't be happier with our decision. Not only did we love them but all of our guests did as well. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the band was the next morning and said it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. The dance floor the was full the entire night because of the great song selection and the entire performance by The Downtown Band.

    The Downtown Band truly made our wedding unforgettable and I can't even imaging what the night would've been without them.

    Best wedding band ever

    We were so happy we chose the downtown band for our wedding!! They bring the party to life. So energizing, such a fun group. They play a huge variety to keep guests entertained and dancing all night long, and truly were a joy to have center stage for our special day!

    Fantastic Sound - Delightful to Work With!

    The Downtown Band is amazing - I don't have enough superlatives to describe our entire experience with them! We had booked them for 4/20, and had to reschedule due to the pandemic. They were absolutely wonderful to work with regarding the rescheduling and any details. And - best of all - they sound GREAT. We had asked for them to play more swing/jazz, etc., at a level where our guests could talk during the beginning of the Reception, then after the cake cutting, they got the party going - people left wanting more! I would book them again anytime - they are worth every penny!

    Amazing band

    The Downtown band was fantastic!! They were highly energetic with great voices. They were very receptive to the song list we requested, and there wasn't a song we requested that they couldn't play. Most importantly, they played great music for the crowd without taking over the show and making it all about them! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!! It was a phenomenal wedding reception!

    The Downtown Band's reply:

    Thank you so much AB, it was a fun night and we were honored to be a part of it! Let's do it again soon :)

    So worth it, we are hiring them again

    Everyone cannot stop raving about our band from our wedding. The downtown band was phenomenal. They learned all the songs we requested and did multiple costume changes to amplify the atmosphere of the night. My little sister is now going to hire them for her wedding too!

    The Downtown Band's reply:

    Thanks Ellie! Glad you liked the costume change, we just added that. Can't wait for your sister's wedding!

    Wedding Reception

    The Downtown Band played at my daughter's wedding reception on 7/13/19 in downtown Nashville. They were exceptional and everyone loved their performance. They participated beautifully with the audience and they helped some of the wedding party to perform on stage! I highly recommend this band and one should definitely go with the full ensemble. Well worth the money!

    When we first sat down and discussed the feel of our wedding day, we both agreed that the band one of the most important decisions. We wanted all of our guests dancing and having a blast, but we also wanted a seasoned group that could monitor the flow of the evening, and also make sure everything progressed properly. Hiring the Downtown Band was hands down the best decision we could have made. They were professional and prompt when we first reached out to them, and on the day of, we could not have asked for anything more! The were wonderful throughout the entire evening, and our guests were ready to party! We've had more compliments and kudos about the band, and guests have literally told us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. Hire this band now - you will not regret it!!!

    The best part of the reception was The Downtown Band. We never sat down and their playlist was tremendous! Worth every penny and I would recommend them for any party. You will not be disappointed.

    The Downtown Band blew the roof off our company Christmas Party. From the first phone call to the last song, they were unbelievable. I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to impress their guests and have the best party that they have ever had !!!

    Great band - great energy! We want them back for our 2018 event! We have heard wonderful comments from our attendees. Would recommend this band for any event. Our event was a fundraiser - one of the premier events in our region - black tie. They did great and made the night a memorable one for all who attended.

    Run, don't walk, to book The Downtown Band!!! Hands down, one of the best decisions you will ever make. To be honest, it's shocking to me that anyone would choose to book any other band in Nashville.

    We had seen Justin's band perform 4 times prior to our engagement, so when we got engaged we only contacted The Downtown Band- no one else! Justin was already booked for our wedding day, so we booked Jordan's band and they/he were INCREDIBLE. I have been told by about 20 people that this was the BEST wedding band they had EVER seen. I grew up in New York so about 50% of our guests came from out of town and they just couldn't believe how talented and fun the band was. They kept the dance floor PACKED the entire night.

    The band learned our requested songs, played the best version of The Hora I've ever heard, and even worked with my sister to play "My Girl" during her Matron of Honor toast where she had changed the lyrics! Unbelievable. We also had the band start playing party/dance music as soon as guests entered the reception and didn't wait until after dinner which I HIGHLY recommend. Why waste time not dancing?!

    I could go on and on and on forever about how professional the band was, how amazing they were to work with, and how they truly made the reception the best reception so many of our guests had ever been to. It certainly was the best night of our lives, and we are SO THANKFUL for Jordan and The Downtown Band and Beth (who was fabulous to work with, too!)!

    I absolutely cannot say enough about this band. They completely made the whole reception! It was the best live music dance party I've ever been a part of and it was my own wedding! They chose the best song list and there literally wasn't a single dull song. Seriously. You don't need to worry about a thing as far as the set list. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole reception because it was just hit after hit. Jordan the lead singer was so easy to work with, professional, and MC'd the night wonderfully. We've all been to weddings with awkward DJ's/MC's but with The Downtown Band you won't need to worry about that at all. The bands energy was explosive and they interacted with the crowd a ton which made it so fun for all the guests. Every single singer was so incredible. Both of the female singers were hitting alllll the notes. We're talking Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera (I think?). Easy. And the male singers, woah! Bruno Mars, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind and Fire. Nailed it. But there's more. They went WAY above and beyond and learned a song I had requested them to play THE DAY OF and it sounded like they'd been playing it for years. The piano player also learned an instrumental piano song that I had written to play during the ceremony and it was so meaningful. All I can say is, book this band. Just do it. I would even go as far to say that it might be worth picking a wedding date around their availability.

    The Downtown Band played for my wedding on September of 2017 and exceeded every one of my expectations! Honestly, my wife and I were not sure how good they would be, but we were blown away by how much better they sounded live vs any demo or video we have seen of them online. Our lead singer was Marc Martel; he did such an amazing job with the custom songs that we requested - everything sounded great! The dance floor was packed all night and they were fantastic at reading the crowd and playing songs that they knew would keep people out there. In addition, their front office was a pleasure to work with during this process and always promptly responded to any of our questions and concerns.

    One of the highlights of our wedding day was definitely the band and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Book this band for your wedding!

    There aren't words to describe how awesome it was to have Justin and the Downtown Band as the entertainment for our wedding, but I will try anyway! From start to finish, they were so professional, easy to work with, and accommodating of our special requests. They were so enthusiastic about performing a custom cover of a Garth Brooks song for our first dance, and they made the "anniversary dance" honoring my grandparents into a very special moment for our entire family. Their timing and choice of songs throughout the night were perfect, and Justin makes a fantastic MC. The Downtown Band was the life of the party, and they kept my guests out on the dance floor all night long. I know everyone will be raving about the Downtown Band for months (and even years) to come!

    Our wedding guests are actually still talking about how amazing The Downtown Band was at our wedding! We couldn't have loved their energy, vocals and overall vibe more if we tried. They guarantee you will have an incredibly fun and memorable reception! I would highly recommend adding on the uptown girls- they were such a great balance to Jordan's lead vocals.

    No one has ever seen as many wedding guests dancing as we saw at our daughter's wedding this weekend. I'm still sad that it's over because it was the best music, the best singing, the best selections, and the best way to have a party. I even checked the band's website to see if they posted their schedule so that I could hear them again. This was not my first daughter to get married, but this was the best band that I have ever hired. Worth every penny. We loved TDB!!!!!

    The Downtown Band is absolutely phenomenal!!! What an incredible group of insanely talented musicians and vocalists! We could not believe how amazing their sound was, and still hear compliments regarding them to this day. Our guests of every age truly enjoyed and loved the band; guests who normally do not dance could not be torn away from the dance floor! They were talented, professional, dependable, accommodating, and fun! Jordan and The Downtown Band learned three songs specifically for our reception within a short amount of time. They nailed each and every one! We are so ecstatic that we chose to go with The Downtown (10 piece) Band! If you are looking for live music to add an unforgettable element to your event, book The Downtown Band!!!! You will be so very pleased that you did!
