Frank Sent on 04/22/2023Best 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.

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. -

We had the most EPIC wedding thanks to Uptown Drive! They were absolutely AMAZING! Everyone who attended our wedding was also impressed with how engaging they were. Our guests could not stop raving about this band!! Uptown Drive truly delivered an incredible live performance. They had everyone singing and dancing all night long.
From singing on stage with the band to my husband doing a stage dive, our wedding was truly a night to remember! Just book Uptown Drive! You won’t regret it! They truly are the best of the best! -

Uptown Drive is the BEST of the best. They truly love what they do and are so talented. The members are always the same! We saw them at a best friend's wedding and had to see them again. Greg was so genuine and fun and wonderful to work with. We seriously are speechless! We were so excited to see them all again, but it was absolutely above and beyond being the actual Bride and Groom. Everyone was on the dance floor before dinner! No prompts! Our family and friends have not stopped talking about Uptown Drive. We are truly walking away with core memories and they truly all have such a huge part to play in that. We want... -

An absolute show stopper! Uptown Drive the THE band the hire. No questions asked. I had the time of my life at my wedding because of them and they did an outstanding job at keeping my husband and I, AND all of our guests, on the dance floor all night. Greg and the band were even able to learn a very meaningful song for me so they could sing it during our dinner set. Seriously, you will regret not hiring this amazing band!! I received SO many compliments from my guests about how great they were too, which my guests having a blast at the wedding is all a bride could ask for!

Charles Sent on 03/25/2024WOW, amazing band!
Uptown Drive was recommended by our event planners, and we were absolutely blown away by their performance! Our team did most of the interfacing with the band, but Greg was incredibly responsive on the few occasions we did reach out directly. Pretty much everyone who attended our party commented on the band being the best they've ever experienced. They selected great music based on our feedback, they deftly guided the flow throughout the night, and they kicked it up a notched and really got the party going after dinner. We planned to lean on a live band to be our primary entertainment, and they exceeded our expectations! We will be forever grateful to Uptown Drive for being a big part of what made our party so memorable for us and our guests. -

Uptown Drive surpassed any expectation we could have had! They were INCREDIBLE! Their crowd-work was amazing, they were so talented, and the playlist kept people on the dance floor all night long!! Greg was very responsive and offered advice where needed. 4 months later, and our guests are still talking about how wonderful they were. 100/10 would recommend booking them for your event! -

Amanda Sent on 04/16/2023Incredible Band!
Just WOW! If you are looking for a band that brings the energy and makes your party like no other - HIRE UPTOWN DRIVE! Not only did they keep everyone dancing all night long, but they even brought me and my husband on stage for an encore performance! They were so much fun and every single one of our guests has not stopped raving about the band. Also, something I didn't realize would make much of a difference but that many people have commented on is that they alternate singers throughout their set. This just brought new life constantly to the night and kept everyone excited. I originally picked Uptown Drive because my wedding planner said they are the most fun band they usually see and they truly exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend them enough!! -

Uptown Drive was one of the highlights of our wedding day. From the beginning, Greg was always very responsive and accommodating to our preferences and helped our vision come to life. They also assisted not only with live music, but played music for our procession, cocktail hour, and reception. I cannot praise this group enough for their adaptability, optimism, and willingness to help out. Unfortunately our officiant that we booked did not show up on our wedding day, but then fortunately for us, Quiesean stepped up to the plate and officiated our wedding on short notice. It is a memory we will look back on and cherish/laugh at forever and appreciate a fellow red raider (wreck em!) to help... -

Uptown Drive brings the party! Greg and his band are absolutely phenomenal and will make your party dreams come true! They learned and performed our wedding song perfectly! The dance floor was constantly hopping. Our guests wanted to finish dinner sooner so they could get on the dance floor. I highly recommend Uptown Drive!!! -

Elizabeth Sent on 01/31/2022Most Talked About Aspect of My Wedding!
Hiring Uptown Drive was definitely one of the best decisions I made when it came to my wedding. They made great suggestions about party flow, kept the crowd dancing all night, and were incredibly kind and fun to work with. I'm not kidding when I say that of all of the guests we spoke to afterwards, at least three quarters of them mentioned how amazing the band was. Our wedding was in the middle of the Omicron surge and we had far fewer guests than we had anticipated. Uptown Drive kept the dance floor full and made it seem so full of energy and fun. It wouldn't have been the same without them. Oh, and they do a MEAN... -

Hands down the easiest decision I made was booking Uptown Drive for my wedding in Houston. Professional and so much fun! Greg and the band understood the assignment when I said I wanted a non-stop dance party! After sending Greg a few ceremony and entrance songs the week before, he took the time to listen to each and called me making suggestions based on his musical expertise (cut in at this time, fade here, extend this here, etc). It was so unexpected and small but meant so much that he took the time to listen and provide feedback that would make the most sense for flow of the night. Incredible group of people, non-stop party, and the best company. I could go on and on. Stop looking and BOOK THEM! -

E Sent on 05/08/2021Uptown Drive is the BEST Wedding Band!
I have been in the event business for almost ten years and was lucky to work with Uptown Drive on several occasions. When my own big day came around, there was no doubt in my mind that we would hire Greg Williams and Uptown Drive! They are responsive, low maintenance and easy to communicate with. Day of, they are FULL of energy, fun, have amazing routines and get the crowd involved. I can’t even tell you how many compliments we got on the band all night and every day since. If you want to dance all night long, you must hire Uptown Drive! -

Look no further -- you have found your wedding band! Greg and his band were the heart and soul of our wedding reception. From the never ending energy, the AMAZING horah, and the Michael Jackson impression our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the band was. We were worried our guests' energy level during a COVID wedding would be low, but Uptown Drive made us (safely) forget about the pandemic for a night and boogie the night away. Hire them now, you won't regret it. -

Dru C. Sent on 11/14/2020The BEST band for a wedding!
We first heard Uptown Drive at a wedding almost 2 years ago. My husband and I commented then (after dancing all night) how awesome they were. When our daughter got engaged a few months later, I immediately contacted Greg with Uptown Drive. Their song catalog is extensive, their vocalists are fantastic, the musicians unbelievable and they gave lots of options to our daughter and son in law. The band also kindly worked with us as we scheduled and then re-scheduled this COVID wedding. Greg was super responsive and easy to work with. When the big day finally came, Uptown Drive more than exceeded our hopes and expectations. We all danced to every song!! They did such a great job... -

Words can’t describe how perfect our wedding was and a large part of what made it so fantastic was Uptown. They start the party and keep it going, yet also have the ability to read the room and adjust if the vibe is calling for a slow song. Seriously, they are AMAZING! -

We booked Uptown Drive for our August wedding. First of all, Greg was fantastic to work with. Very responsive and organized. Most importantly, the band is AMAZING!!!!! They kept our guest on the dance floor all night long. They even played our first dance live! I can not say enough good things about this band. The song selections, showman ship, professionalism are all top notch. You will not regret booking this band for your wedding! -

My husband and I recently got married on June 1st and we had Uptown Drive at our wedding! Working with Greg and Uptown Drive was a great experience and he was so helpful throughout the whole process. Everyone complimented our band at the wedding and even the weeks following! 10/10 would recommend having them at your wedding.
They were so good at interacting with the crowd and getting people on the dance floor which was also a major bonus and we loved that!! -

Uptown Drive is the best! They played at our wedding in March and made the reception so exciting and memorable. They played awesome sets that were perfectly curated, energetic, and interactive! I remember being at the reception, looking around at people dancing, and being in total awe of how much fun everything was. A huge part of that was because of Uptown Drive. I HIGHLY recommend them! Guests from the wedding are still talking about how fun the band and dancing was! -
