Down City Band threw the house down!

Everyone from my wedding said their feet hurt from dancing so much. The energy was impeccable and the band kept the dance floor moving all night! They were super professional, accommodating and a total pleasure to work with. They gave us a list of their typical songs to choose from and also spent time learning a new one for us! The MC, Macio, did a wonderful job keeping the flow going and announcing speeches etc. They made our night so memorable , would highly recommend Down City Band!

Wedding Reception! 9/12/2025

The absolute best band, so friendly, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with! I had no concerns regarding music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding reception! They were so easy and professional with assisting with all the details and wedding timeline! We had previously been to weddings where they performed, we knew this was something we needed to budget for when planning our own wedding! We wanted to dance the night away with friends and family, the music was truly the best part of the night! We never left the dance floor once the reception started, they made sure to play a nice mix of songs too! The energy they bring to the performance is so fun and lively!! I can’t recommend them enough for an event, wedding, or after party! Thank you again for everything! Aiden & Britt 9/12/2025

The most special wedding band!

I can’t praise DownCity enough! We had them for my sister’s wedding and had to have them again for ours as well. Dave makes planning so easy and smooth and was up for special moments and requests. Not to mention the SOUND! As a musician myself, I was constantly impressed by their sound and the vocalists are insanely talented. Not to mention, they are all the kindest humans. Highly recommend!

Amazing!!!

The DownCity Band was incredible. From the first point of contact until the very last minute of our reception they were nothing by kind, flexible, and so involved. The quality and diversity of their sound was incredible. They also provided the sound for the ceremony itself and there wasn't so much as a glitch in sight. I cannot recommend them enough for your next event.
