    Fun & talented!

    We couldn’t recommend Up2Somethin’ more! They definitely brought the party! They were easy to work with and Rickey was so helpful through the whole process. All our guests, of all ages, never left the dance floor!

    Outstanding!

    You will not regret booking Up2Somethin’ for your wedding/events. They keep the crowd entertained and on their feet. They have a great family feel to them and are very accommodating. When they started playing, we never wanted them to stop! It was easily the best part of the night at our wedding. We will absolutely do business with them again!

    This is the band you want for your party!!!!

    Up 2 Somethin’ brought ENERGY and great VIBES to our wedding. They were so easy to talk to are so much fun to work with. Our guests loved them so much as well. Always professional and they clearly love what they are doing! The dance floor was hoppin the whole night we didn’t want to stop. Any of our questions or concerns they were happy to address and always got back to us right away. It was so much fun choosing our songs and making the timeline. Everything went so smoothly. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about them! Excellent musicians and performers. We hope to work with them again in the future!!!

    Perfect Wedding Band

    Rickey and the band were amazing. They were very receptive to all our requests and the night went off flawlessly without our direction at all on the actual night. They had the dance floor filled the entire night and people raved about them after!

    Great party

    I've known these fellow musicians for years and expected nothing less than the best. As expected the music was amazing and fun to dance to and everybody loved it. We bothered them a million times about things we needed for this wedding they were quick to answer and accommodated everything we needed.

    Up2Somethin''s reply:

    The father of the bride, Pat, got up and sang a few songs with us. He was great and the family and guests loved it. The dance floor was packed from start to finish.

    Best Band in the area

    Up 2 Somethin' is the best band in the area! Rickey is the easiest person to deal with and is very professional as well. Two breaks and they were minimal! They completely understand the importance of keeping the crowd engaged.

    Exceeded our Expectations!

    We were so blown away by Up2Somethin'! We knew from their website and videos that they would be good, but they were even better than what we saw online. From the beginning, Rickey was so communicative and easy to talk to, and made the music-planning process really easy. On our wedding day, they were on time, professional, well-dressed, polite, and absolutely ready to rock the dance floor. Their setlist was perfect, the sound quality was amazing, and our guests talked about the performance for days. It was so clear from the outset that Rickey and the group was totally dedicated to us, the bride and groom. During the reception, Rickey made sure to clear all changes, requests, etc. with our coordinator and with us so that nothing was happening without our consent. For example, we had an exuberant guest who wanted to take the microphone and do an unplanned toast, and she asked Rickey for the mic. He came right to us, asked if we wanted that to happen, which we didn't, and he expertly broke the news to her and then continued to rock out. We were so impressed!

    Up2Somethin''s reply:

    Alex and Emily, thank you so very much for the kind words. Your whole day and evening was an absolute blast. We hope to see you out and about in the future.

    Wedding Reception

    This band is amazing!! The dance floor was packed right from the start and never stopped until the end of the evening. The DJ took care of all the introductions as well as kept the party moving on the band break. The musicianship was top notch. I highly recommend Up2Somethin’

    Incredible Band. Easy to work with.

    The band was incredible! It seems like everyone at the wedding has made a point to mention how great they were. The party was jumping from start to finish! They are supremely talented musicians and can read the crowd really well. They also do a great job serving as MCs for the introductions and dinner. The band and their sound company was able to accommodate our somewhat unique sound requirements with 2 additional sound systems (including one with no power source) on top of the main system the band used. We planned the wedding from Utah but Ricky and the band always put our mind at ease that the music was not going to be a problem. I could not recommend this band enough.

    Up2Somethin''s reply:

    Hi Emily, thank you so much for the kind words. We are glad we could help out with the sound systems as well as be a part of the great party you put on. We hope to see you out at our public gigs in the future. We had a blast.

    UP2Somthin' - Truly a topnotch choice for any event!

    I am an event planner in Rochester, NY and UP2Somthin' is ALWAYS my first go-to band when in need of a professional, energetic, dance your feet off band! They are extremely easy to work with, their selection is endless and they are 110% reliable! I have had nothing but great success in using UP2Somthin' at SEVERAL events from weddings, corporate parties, large outdoor festivals, casino events to private parties and more!

    Saw the other Bands... SOOO thankful we chose UP2Somethin!!

    I can't possibly speak any higher of this band! They are by FAR the best wedding band around! We went and listened to several other bands on WeddingWire before we heard Up2somethin. The moment we heard them we knew they were the ones!

    We danced alongside our guests all night long and loved every minute of it! It's obvious the band loves what they do and love doing it together! Because of that, they brought such a high level of excitement and energy, kicking off our reception right!

    They also helped us with the announcements, toasts, and getting everyone where they needed to be. Ricky was a HUGE help! My only regret was only feeding them sandwiches! I should have hooked them up with steak dinners, they were that good!

    Up2Somethin''s reply:

    Christian, thank you very much for the kind words. We had a blast the whole evening. We hope you will be out to see us from time to time. BTW, the sandwiches were more than fine. We really enjoyed every part of it.

    Guests raved about them for weeks after

    I have seen Up2Somethin' perform at local Casinos, sponsored parties and other weddings and I knew I had to have them at my own wedding. They were great to work with, so friendly and very professional before and during.

    Their large band has great energy and really get the party going. You can tell they love what they do and want you to have a great time. They also have a "DJ" that can play music during the ceremony, the dinner hour, and any breaks (if your party is long enough) so there's never a lull or guests getting overwhelmed with loud live music during dinner. You really can't beat them it's a full package of entertainment.

    They have a huge range of songs new and old, that they customize them and play medlys that really keep the energy high and keep people interested as they're great at reading the crowd and adapting. My dance floor was packed all night long with guests from 5 to 70 yrs old, everyone could enjoy them. Guests raved about them to me for weeks saying they'd never had such a great time at a wedding.

    Extremely fun and talented!

    This is not your typical party band. The players are all TOP NOTCH! In addition to their display of great talent, they are so much fun! High Energy, great song selections, funny, friendly, and overall a JOY to work with. It would be a mistake to pass up on a chance to hire this band.

    Thank you very much, Erin. We had an absolute blast at your wedding. We look forward to seeing you out and about soon.

    Excellent Party Band

    I was in charge of hiring a band for my Club's 50th Anniversary celebration and heard Up2somethin at Remedy at the Finger lakes Casino. The moment I walked in I knew they were the "one"! The band has an energy that makes you want to drop everything and dance. The lead singer is amazing, her voice never quits. They took requests from the guests, but didn't need to, they played a variety of songs to please everyone. I had many compliments on the band, they made me look good. Besides being very talented musicians, up2somethin band is very professional. Ricky communicated with me every step of the way and was very easy to reach. I would hire them in a heartbeat!!

    What a great band! We hired them to play our wedding and not only were they willing to travel close over 3 hours to the venue but they rocked the place! The sax player was awesome and this was the only band we found that played a bunch of newer songs -not just the typical wedding band stuff you hear. There was never a lull on the dance floor, our guests were dancing all night! They were fab and I would defintely recommend them to anyone - Thanks for such a great night!

    Bottom line: BOOK THIS BAND FOR YOUR WEDDING.

    I couldn't have been more pleased with Up2Somethin'. They kept our guests dancing all night long, and we heard from several people that they were the best band they had heard at a wedding. These musicians are truly talented, and know how to create a great party.

    The only negative is that I felt like the band leader was a little disorganized. For example, I sent him a schedule for our reception, and on several phone calls specifically for the purpose of reviewing the schedule, he didn't have a copy in front of him. This was a small inconvenience compared to the great product that we received in the end, and when it counted, the schedule flowed perfectly.
