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.

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!

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!!!

Outstanding DJ!

A review that is far overdue but extremely deserved -- Loren was outstanding as our DJ for our wedding!! Loren worked so well with us to accommodate our requests. My husband is Persian and we had each couple dance down the aisle to a different song - Loren was able to do this extremely well and it went seamlessly. He was able to incorporate all of our request- and didn’t even bat an eye when we asked him to add in unfamiliar music. At the reception, Loren was able to adjusts the music so well and keep everyone happy and on the dance floor. He played a variety of music but also remember to play all of our requests. Loren, we are so thankful to you for making our wedding day so incredible - I cannot recommend him enough!!

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.

Ramon and I got married on October 10th 2020 and we had a great experience. I would recommend Loren Latham and his team to everyone! He made sure he knew our music preferences and we had an amazing time.

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!

Get down with Uptown!

I cannot recommend Uptown Sounds enough! Loren knows music, and the passion that he has for his work is apparent in every interaction I had leading up to my big day. He listened to what we wanted, and was flexible and worked with us on non-negotiable things. He is helpful when it comes to musical selections if you're not sure, and he's responsive when you have questions - alleviating a lot of worries about how "everything will go" on the day of. Everyone loved the photo booth, and he and his team helped bring our vision to life for the most fun dance party we've ever had! He knows how to read a crowd that's looking to have a great time, and pace the night just right to make it so. From the ceremony music, to the cocktail hour vibes, to the reception - everything was flawless. The MC Nick never missed a beat and brought a great energy all night to hype up our guests. My feet hurt from being on the dance floor all night - and it was WELL worth it! Let Uptown Sounds provide you with soundtrack for the best night of your life - you won't regret it!

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!
