Before the day itself, the musicians of Uptown Drive will work closely with you to get to know your wedding vision. You'll be able to work through the day's timeline and MC's script to ensure it all flows smoothly.

Best party band I've ever seen

Just book Uptown Drive for your wedding or event - trust us! My spouse and I had incredibly high expectations for our wedding band and Uptown Drive not only met those expectations, but shattered them in every way possible. From the moment the band started playing, our guests were completely hooked and never left the dancefloor.

The band members are truly top-tier musicians and their talent was evident from the very first song. They played a fantastic mix of songs that had everyone up and dancing all night long. Even better, they were able to read the crowd and play the perfect songs to keep the energy going throughout the entire reception.

Working with Greg (their band leader) was awesome. He was incredibly professional and responsive, making the planning process stress-free and enjoyable. On the night of the wedding, the band was punctual, well-prepared, and truly went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly.

All in all, Uptown Drive was an amazing investment and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It’s the best party band I’ve ever seen.

Love this band!

My husband Marshall and I absolutely LOVED having Uptown Drive at our wedding reception. They bring so much energy and thoughtfulness to what they do and it adds a whole new dynamic to your event. I'll never forget my husband teaming up with them to sing an Oasis song to me. That memory will stick with me forever. If you're looking for a live band for your wedding, this is the one to book. Hands down.

Uptown Drive is AMAZING! They have a great mix of music, a very talented group and are extremely entertaining. They even included a performance to a Michael Jackson song with wardrobe change. They were also professional, on time and easy to communicate with.
