Great Band that had people on the floor the whole night.

Downstage Live played at my daughter's wedding last weekend. They were amazing. They had guests dancing on the floor for a full 4-5 hours. They engaged with the crowd and had surprises that made the guest have so much fun. Must have had 20 people tell me this was the best wedding band they have ever heard. They were so easy to deal with and very responsive to our inquiries. Would throughly recommend this band. 5 out of 5 Stars!!

Wedding Reception

DownStage Live is your one stop shop when it comes to reception entertainment. They know such a wide variety of music to keep people of all ages at your event engaged and ready to celebrate. They had people singing from the lead microphone, groups of guests interacting through sound and dance; and many props to make the night something to remember.

They will show up early and make sure your venue has everything they need to create a memorable night. They are also very timely in responding and accommodating last minute requests.

You can expect to receive MANY compliments from your guests because of how amazing they are! Our town even has a local festival that we are going to put a word in about adding them to the set list, THEY ARE THAT GOOD!

Patterson wedding

My wife Abbe and I cannot say enough good things about DownStageLive. We had our wedding in lexington Ky. They kept everyone on the dance floor from the beginning to the end, playing songs that all generations would love. They were extremely professional and easy to communicate during the months before the wedding.

Wow! Downstage live is the whole package!

This band of extremely talented, kind, professional, and personable individuals wow'd us and our guests from the very start of the planning process all the way through their clean up after their performance! They even accommodated a few extra requests we had regarding set up and cocktail/dinner hour music. We feel abundantly blessed to have found them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, energetic, and flawless experience! Thank you DownStage Live for being one of the best vendors to work with!

A beautiful wonderful wedding experience

I hired Downstage for my daughters wedding and I’m so happy I did. They played the keyboard during the ceremony that was so beautiful throughout the garden, it gave me goosies. The entire evening was so much fun. Shannon is amazing and they are a class act!! They really make sure they give you exactly what you want. Love them so much, 5 Stars! I highly recommend.
