Highest Quality and Most fun band EVER!

Words truly can’t describe how lucky my husband I are that Matthew Friedman and Uptown Sounds were our wedding band. I keep getting messages that it was the best band people have ever heard and they made our night UNFORGETTABLE. They are immensely talented and could not be more professional! No one was sitting the entire night- the dance floor was PACKED every second of the wedding thanks to them. They were interactive and sounded amazing! I am a musician myself, and the talent that this band has is absolutely unbelievable and of the highest quality!

From the start, Craig Scott entertainment was so easy to work with. Kathy, Rich, and Matt were immensely helpful through the planning process! If I could give more than a 10/10 I would. Thank you Craig Scott Entertainment and Matthew Friedman and the Uptown Sounds for making our wedding a dream!

Craig Scott - Great Band!!

From the first phone call Craig Scott Entertainment had been great. Our daughter and her fiance explained their wedding vision and Craig Scott said they would make it happen. When the Coronovirus hit and we had to postpone the wedding, they were there again, helping in any way possible and rescheduling to our new date. We are really looking forward to partying with them on NYE.

A Great Company To Work With

Our daughters wedding was scheduled for March 28th 2020.
Two weeks before we made the decision to move the wedding to March of 2021 due to Coronavirus. Scott, Nick and Cathy were amazing during our decision time and choosing a new date. We ended up having a very small ceremony and Scott and Tom were incredible making it possible through zoom to have music for the ceremony . I feel very lucky to have chosen them for our wedding. They are such an amazing group of people .. I can only imagine how hard they will work next year to make the redo wedding just perfect! We are so looking forward to having the full Craig Scott Band next year!!

14 SONGS TO CREATE THE PERFECT MOOD ON VALENTINES DAY

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Scott Hornak, CEO of Craig Scott Entertainment, has put together another special playlist of 14 fitting songs to help celebrate the day. After a romantic dinner out, or if you’re simply planning to spend a quiet evening together at home, these songs are an ideal way to create the perfect mood. The songs range from classic rock to old standards, some very familiar and some less so (check out “Today” by Joshua Radin or “I Belong to You” by Eros Ramazzotti) but all are sure to put love in the air. “Whatever way you choose to spend time together on February 14,” said Hornak, “please be inspired by these songs and be sure to have a Happy Valentine’s Day!” The playlist is available on iTunes (iMix) as “Craig Scott Valentines 2011”.

Craig Scott Entertainment is by far the best in the business! Their musicians/DJ's/MC's are all well-trained professionals who orchestrate a range of pop favorites to classical ballads. They work well with the bride, groom & their parents to combine musical genres that please the masses. They understand the importance of reading a crowd & adjusting to satisfy their client. They're high energy yet unobtrusive. They're classy/professional vibe keeps the B/G center stage. I have worked with CSE for years & the feedback is always outstanding. I highly recommend Craig Scott Entertainment. Christine Figliuolo Creations By Christine Events
