Best band ever!

Uptown Groove band was truly the best band I have ever witnessed at a wedding. The fact that it was MY own wedding made the overall experience that much better. Seth, the band manager and lead guitar player is amazing and so wonderful to work with. He spent so much time with us on the phone to go over every single detail to ensure we were prepared and ready for our big day. All of my guests were completely blown away by their talent and performance. These musicians care about each other and their guests. Each and every member held a true talent that I have never witnessed before. Our guests could NOT get over this band, and either could we! We are so happy that we went with Uptown Groove for our wedding. The best day, the best band. Nobody else compares....truly. Cheers!

The Highlight of Our Reception!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! The band themselves were truly wonderful. We opted for the full 9-piece band and I’m so grateful that I did because together, they made magic on my wedding day. Each member of the band was an absolute master at their craft. The singers all have such unique and powerful voices, the solos for the trumpet, the saxophone, the base… I still have wedding guests telling me how amazing they each were. So many people have told me it was the best wedding they’ve been to and it definitely is a direct result of this amazing band. Seth was our point of contact and he was amazing. We had no idea what we were doing and he helped us out every step of the way and gave us really helpful advice that was above and beyond what a typical band would give. I couldn’t recommend the Uptown Groove more. If you’re thinking about it, trust me and pull the plunge. You will not regret it!!!

A must have!

We were fortunate to have Uptown Groove at our wedding and it was one of the top highlights of our night!! The band (in our opinion) is one of the most crucial parts for having a fun reception, and they knocked it out of the park. We couldn't be more obsessed with Harper, Lisa, and the whole band. Also, working with Seth was wonderful from start to finish. As band manager, he was responsive, organized, professional, and very thoughtful. We have received COUNTLESS compliments on our band and would recommend them to anyone looking to hire an awesome band. Someone even told us, "I've never seen a dance floor packed from start to finish like this". Thank you uptown groove!!
