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!

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!!

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!

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!

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!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
