Awesome !!

Loren and his team were very accommodating, reasonably priced, adaptable/ flexible, and made the all the music portions for the wedding easy.

Loren was very responsive through the whole process whether it was via email or text. He responded within a day/or the next. He provided an online form to fill out which provided a great reference point to fill in throughout the wedding search journey. In addition, he gave lists of song suggestions when we were stumped.

On the wedding day, Loren and his team arrived on time. They checked in with us days before, and day of. He was able to get us to decide on a Mother & Son song the night before the wedding , and squeeze in when it was best to do so. We planned for it after First Dance but the atmosphere proved it would be better later (ppl were hyped for Table Dash). Thankfully, he’s able to read the room and announced their dance right before speeches. Loren is able to follow instructions as well as improvise.

He’s also at average price within the Hudson Valley. We decided on the basic standard level. He provided (extra?) lighting inside the venue that backdrops on the sides of the walls. Other free services he provided was giving the mic to the officiant (in addition to all the ceremony music), and gave out fiber optic wands to the guests during reception (I provided my own wands but he offers that package too). He’s also willing to work on a payment plan.

Overall, I really recommend him and his team. They made it really easy for the wedding day which is what’s needed, one less thing to worry about. Plus, he was very responsive, giving assurance, and lowered my anxiety.

Yes, 10000%

I cannot say enough great things about Loren and Uptown Sounds. His attention to detail, understanding of our ideas/vision and overall experience was amazing. Loren not only got to know my husband and I prior to our wedding but really took that into account when preparing for our wedding and finding the perfect MC for us. Whether he was checking in to see how we were doing and how wedding planning was going or jumping on a call to make any changes, Loren was flexible with everything! Our guests still talk about how great our music was or how they barely sat down because they were dancing so much and how it all reflected us as a couple, and that truly is one of the best/coolest parts of a wedding!

Most Fun DJ & Crew!

Working with Loren and his crew from Uptown Sounds NY was an awesome experience! Not only did Loren provide entertaining music at my wedding ceremony and reception, but he and his team set up the most amazing mirror photobooth that helped my friends and family capture fun moments throughout the night. I would recommend working with Uptown Sounds NY without hesitation, as they bring the party with the utmost professionalism!

11/10!! Perfect

Loren and his MC Jimmy we’re absolutely AMAZING for our wedding! From ceremony to reception the music was perfect. He helped with song suggestions for both ceremony and reception, was quick to hop on calls with us if we had any questions. They kept the crowd going all night. We received so many compliments from friends and family on how great the DJ was and we can’t thank you enough!!!

Outdoor private wedding

Loren took the time to see the outdoor private venue and made adjustments to suite our needs. Loren was great with communication, providing excellent service and making sure we had what we needed. Loren and his assistant weren't not pushy, were not in our faces but made sure everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Loren for any event!

professional and personable.

DJ Loran and his MC made my wedding day very special. Loran is very professional and personable. We had several conversations before the wedding date. He asked me for the songs I wanted to play for the wedding. He found each of them. Our wedding was diverse in guests’ languages, cultures and religious backgrounds. The ceremony was intimate and flawless. We had an outdoor wedding. The quality of the sound that he provided was very crisp and clean. He turned up the night with providing a hot set during my reception. My guest were in the dance floor all night! He brings lights with him so it felt and looked like a fancy venue. Thank you so much for making my wedding day feel exactly special.

I had the time of my life

My wedding was two and half years ago and my family still rave about their experience. I credit this to our entertainment vendor Uptown Sounds NY. DJ Loren and team kept us on the floor and making memories the entire evening. We could not have asked for better quality and professionalism. We are continuing to use their services for other family events. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy the memories and the party you will have with this team.

He manged to mix in all our favorite artist and songs throughout the night. The music flowed so well and there was always people on the dancefloor. Our wedding guest gave us so many compliments on the DJ. I would absolutely recommend this DJ as well as use him again.
