Best wedding band!!!

The Downtown Collective was the biggest hit of our wedding! They were incredible (both with coordinating/planning for the big day and performing the day of), and worth every single penny! During and after our wedding, so many people were coming up to us saying how amazing the band was. There were people on the dance from from the time the band started until the 3rd encore song! All band members are extremely talented and can play such a broad genre of music. Cannot recommend this band enough! Cornell is also amazing and was so easy to work with and helped make our day perfect.
10/10!!! Highly recommend for anyone wanting to throw the best party of their lives and have people dancing all night long!

the BEST vibe for the BEST band

my husband and i decided to have a post covid reception for our 5 year anniversary and we found downtown collective and i started meeting with Cornell and after we talked, i just KNEW i needed them a part of our day. Cornell and Ether were so beyond helpful with the process and going over timelines for me. we chose to do the 6pc instrumental and it was the PERFECT vibe. people could eat, drink, all while our favorite songs were playing in the background via live music. their saxophone man is such a vibe and we kept getting continuous compliments on the music and the energy. if you want to spice it up from a DJ, please meet with Cornell, he is so sweet and you will NOT regretting booking them for your day. i kinda want to get divorced and then have a huge wedding so i can hire the band again but with more members and the vocalist
