    Wow! Mason was unbelievable 😍

    We hired uptown sound because I asked the venue who they recommend. The owner Aaron was so great to work with. He made an exact cut of our first dance song, it was perfect. Aaron was always very responsive and quick. He sent Mason over for us to La cour Venue in McKinney. Mason is familiar with the venue and after our phone call with him I felt relief and support. Not only did he play all the songs we asked for, in such a great way, he went above in beyond in helping me with the timeline, excusing guests for dinner, and keeping everyone on track for every single thing. I can’t recommend mason enough. Everyone told us they never left the dance floor. Our aunt that uses a walker was out there all night dancing. She said she hasn’t danced like that in 10 years! I hope we can find another event to have him at one day. He’s our guy. Thank you Mason. Thank you Aaron. Thank you uptown sound!!

    Mason with Uptown Sound was great

    Mason did a great job and we had lots of compliments on the music. He had everyone on the dance floor all night long. Uptown sound did an amazing job incorporating our requests.

    Fantastic!

    We worked with Mason at Uptown Sound and he was fantastic!! Mason took time to meet with us to learn more about us and our taste in music. He asked for special requests and made a point to play every single one! Mason had everyone on the dance floor all night! We definitely recommend Mason and Uptown Sound.

    Uptown Sound had everyone on the dancefloor!

    We used Uptown Sound for our wedding ceremony and reception, and can't say enough positive things about Aaron! Aaron really took the time to get to know our taste in music, and what we were looking for. He took our small song selections and turned it into magic! The music was amazing through our cocktail hour, dinner, and got people on the dancefloor ready to party when it was time for dancing, we got lots of compliments on the music the whole night! Aaron shortened the songs for our first dance and other special dances, so we got to experience the songs we wanted without having to spend too long on the floor with everyone watching. He was a great MC for our entire event, announcing the wedding party, our grand entrance, and more. Aaron was really plugged in to the schedule of the night, always working with out planners to seamlessly make small adjustments if we were running late or something other than what we had planned felt more natural. We had an amazing night and can't recommend Aaron and Uptown Sound enough!!!

    Amazing Fairytale Experience

    Mason at Uptown Sound was all we could ever want from our wedding DJ. It felt like a fairytale. Brenda at Oak + Ivy highly requested this trustworthy business and they delivered such a great experience.

    Seriously the BEST - look no further!

    I heard about Mason McDrew and Uptown Sound from my sister-in-law who coordinates weddings in DFW. She recommended them SO highly that they were the first vendor I booked right after venue, and I'm SO glad I did!! It was so important to me that my guests have a great time so DJ choice was critical!! Aaron and Mason were so great to work with right from the start - it's so clear they love what they do! We met with Mason twice before the wedding and he helped us narrow down our genres and song selection. He really made an effort to get to know us as a couple so that he could create the perfect night for us! Aaron even cut the music for our special dances and did SUCH a great job, it sounded professional and seamless.
    Our wedding day was truly perfect. Mason worked closely with our officiant and coordinator to time everything from the ceremony to the grand entrance and special dances just right! And once the dance floor opened it was packed right up until the end - even my family who I've rarely seen dance was out there almost all night!! It was the perfect blend of music to where everyone could enjoy the night, and my husband and I truly had the best time. I can honestly say there's not one thing I would change about our experience with Uptown Sound. They're simply the best!!

    Best Choice in the Business

    My now wife & I used Uptown Sound for our wedding. Mason met with us & was immensely helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Even when we had to make some last minute changes, we were told “No problem!”

    Mason ensured that everything went as smooth as possible throughout the entire ceremony & reception. 10/10 Recommend Mason & Uptown Sound.

    Perfect! Mason was the best!

    Found out about Uptown Sound through my venue I chose. Several DJ’s were on my venues “preferred” list, but only 1 DJ service had a 5 star review and it was Uptown Sound. We were so pleased with with Aaron and Mason, our DJ. Mason was an amazing DJ and we are so lucky to have him as our DJ at our wedding. Can’t thank you enough, Mason!

    The Man with the Sound

    Aaron was excellent!! He was very patient while we worked out our music and was super creative by throwing a little bit of everything we love to listen to during the reception.

    My son had a blast at his wedding due to the DJ, Mason. He was incredible and played all the music my son wanted to hear. The dance floor was packed all night long!!! The vendor was responsive as well for any questions prior to the wedding. Highly recommend.

    Mason The Goat

    Mason is the best wedding DJ there is. He took my list and amplified by 100. His transitions and timing is impeccable. I’m a picky music person and I was absolutely blown away. He made the day not stressful at all. He is dependable and just an all around great guy. 1000/10 recommend.

    Top-notch service and experience!

    We had a fantastic time working with Aaron for our wedding! He met with us to help us narrow down our music selections, and then he did a wonderful job of using what he learned about our tastes to expand the playlist for our reception - the music choices were fantastic all night!

    Aaron was extremely polite, friendly, and such a joy to have around on our wedding day. He helped in so many additional ways beyond simply serving as our DJ, and we could not have been happier with our choice to work with him. We would strongly recommend Uptown Sound to anyone in the area!

    Responsive, Professional, and Liked by All

    We had a really great experience with Deitrich and Uptown Sound! Both him and his colleagues were extremely helpful in explaining what all information they needed from us, and responding quickly to our questions and requests. They were able to accommodate all of our song cut requests, some of which we were afraid were too complicated. Deitrich really shined on the night of the wedding itself. We had many guests talk about what a great DJ we had, and how well he read the room the entire night. We were incredibly pleased with him, but I think that the many positive reviews from our guests speak volumes more than our own endorsements!

    Uptown Sound is Awesome

    Uptown Sound is simply Awesome. Aaron was our DJ/MC and did an outstanding job with the music and MC'd each event that occurred throughout the reception. He kept everything on track in the most polite way imaginable. Aaron not only is a great DJ but he is one of the nicest guys you ever wanted to meet. Great Job Aaron and thanks for making the wedding perfect!

    We absolutely loved having Mason as our DJ for our wedding ceremony and reception. He was easy to work with, helped take our ideas and really bring them to life. He created an amazing soundtrack to our most important day. He was quick to respond, friendly and someone I would recommend to anyone! Look no further and just book with Uptown Sound, you will not regret it!

    Perfect mix of a DJ/MC!

    Aaron was a joy to work with! He provided lighting and DJ services and we could not be happier with him! From the very start he was such a professional and calming presence. In the planning phases I truly appreciated his thoroughness to talk through the entire timeline and reception details that were important to us and our families.

    When it came to the MC/DJ aspects he did wonderful! He really took into account what kind of music we wanted as well as the mix of different types of music. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests loved the party! Also, the display of our custom monogram on the wall was so incredible and added a perfect touch to our celebration!

    Absolutely Amazing

    Mason was the best DJ! Communication was great throughout the whole planning and he was able to get a sense of the vibe we wanted from our conversations. He read the crowd so well and we had a dance floor full of guests at practically all times! In fact, even other vendors have reached out to me about how great the party was. All of that was made possible with a good MC and DJ! Mason is kind and professional and Uptown Sound in general is amazing!

    Simply the BEST!

    We got married November 2020, and could not have asked for a better DJ/emcee to work with on our wedding day. Deitrich was amazing to work with leading up to our wedding. He arranged a meeting a few months prior where we were able to work with him to work on the timeline and picking out the perfect song for each moment on our special day. Throughout our wedding Deitrich did a great job playing music that kept the crowd dancing and having fun all night! He did a great job with announcing all of our wedding party and parents. Everyone kept complimenting how great our wedding was and how much fun they had, and good music is a big part of that. 5 out of 5 would recommend and work with again in the future!
