The Uptown Getdowns were amazing! We had a packed dance floor the entire night which I’ve never seen before at a wedding. They did an amazing job with the song selection, MC duties, and overall entertainment with the crowd. They took the extra step of learning songs for us and really making sure they were making our night special. Don’t hesitate booking them, you won’t regret it!

Absolutely fantastic. The Uptown Getdowns surpassed all expectations. From diligent pre-event coordination, timely set up, through playing their encore, this band rocks. The Uptown Getdowns were a magnet pulling guests to the dance floor. Two months later our guests are still talking about how fabulous and how excellent every member of the band is. The horns superb. The Uptown Getdowns played our wedding song perfectly and learned some new tunes for us. Wife and I have joked to split-up just to be able to do it over and have the The Uptown Getdowns at our wedding again! If this band is available for your wedding there really is no need to look elsewhere.

The Uptown Getdowns were unreal!!! They MADE the party!! Originally, my husband and I booked a DJ for our event, but then later realized having a band would be more “us” We’re so glad that we did! I couldn't imagine our wedding without this talented crew! Steve was great, laid back, communicative, and so professional. You can tell that they’ve been doing this for a while. Our first dances were able to be done live, or if we liked a certain version, they offered to play it from an iPod on their sound system. We were given a list of hundreds of songs on their repertoire, and even offered to learn five new ones for us! They got our guests involved, kept it mellow during dinner, and livened things up for the rest of the night. I can’t stress this enough—if you’re a “band couple” like us (even if you’re not) BOOK THESE TALENTED PEOPLE. You will not regret it!!

Steve and the band were AMAZING! So easy to work with right from the beginning. They had everything handled and were very friendly and responsive. At the wedding- the band was phenomenal!! The singing, the instruments, the crowd interaction was amazing. They MCed for us and it was just perfect! They made the day so special and we really appreciate it!!

The band played a wide array of songs. They were able to get everyone dancing. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band. They were also easy to talk to and communicated quickly. They learned multiple new songs and their covers of the music were great. They provided a memorable evening for our wedding.

Best of the best band! 

AMAZING band!!! We love The Uptown Getdowns! Steve helped us with details from the ceremony music to planning the reception details in an organized google doc. All of our guests raved about the band and said they were the best they’ve ever heard! I highly recommend hiring The Uptown Getdowns, you won’t regret it, they go above and beyond and are amazing people to work with!

Danced all night long

I cannot get over how amazing The Uptown Getdowns were. All we wanted for our wedding was to keep the vibes up and the party going. And that's exactly what The Uptown Getdowns did. From the amazing vocals, the killer keyboard player, to the horns, The Uptown Getdowns did not disappoint. I can happily say that everyone complimented the talent of the band and the joy they had having them at our wedding. 100000% hire them, you will have sore feet in the morning, but it will all be worth it.

The Uptown Getdowns bring the party! We had an amazing time dancing to classic rock, pop, funk, you name it there were songs for everyone. Plus our guests were able to sit in and jam with them! Great set lists, really nice people, flexible with any details you want, and great communication. 100% recommend you can’t go wrong.

To say that this band was EXCEPTIONAL at our wedding on June 1, 2023 is a complete understatement. Not only were The Uptown Getdowns professional, organized, and friendly, but they sounded incredible and were the talk of the night (after the bride and groom, of course!). It definitely helped to use them not only for the reception but also for the ceremony - they arrived ahead time and had all of their mic checks done well before guests arrived. During the stressful time leading up to and during our wedding, we knew that the band was going to be wonderful. We would highly recommend using them as your wedding band AND paying a little extra for the horns section - it's 100% worth it. Our family and friends loved the music and dancing and you can customize the songs to your preference as well - oldies for us! They even let us get up and sing a song with them! No ask is too much for The Uptown Getdowns and I would hands down recommend and use them for an event again in the future.

A Million Stars for This Incredible Band

If I could give Steve and the Uptown Getdowns a million stars, I would. I cannot express how incredible they were. EVERYONE loved them. They were so amazing from start to finish - they made the planning so effortless and easy. They were a breath of fresh air compared to all the other stuff we had to deal with planning our wedding. They played everything we wanted and more, and they sounded FANTASTIC. Seriously, the best band (not even just a wedding band) I've heard in person in a very long time. They also played our ceremony and DJed, which was just perfect. Our venue had never worked with them before and said how amazing they were as well. DEFINITELY book them for whatever event you have.

Finding the right band for our wedding was not an easy search for us. We have very old-school tastes, and were not looking for any modern songs playing at our wedding. “Nothing after 1979” was essentially our mantra. Obviously, this made things a little difficult. We started researching bands and eventually came across The Uptown Getdowns. We saw them playing live at a basement bar in Morristown, and stopped the search immediately. We had found our band. 

They played everything we could have asked for from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s: golden classics that had everyone up on their feet dancing all night. We had cousins in their twenties jumping to The Rolling Stones, professional swing dancers Lindy Hopping around, and grandparents in their nineties slow dancing to Sinatra. Everyone had such a blast that we were receiving compliments about our choice of band the entire evening and beyond. 

Beyond the music, they did a fantastic job with the personal touches. Their introductions were phenomenal, and they worked extremely hard to learn the specific songs we asked them to play. 

We are going to keep going to their shows in the future, with our family in tow, because they are just SO. MUCH. FUN. If you end up hiring them for your wedding, please invite me, because I want to dance the night away again!

The Uptown Getdowns rocked our wedding! It was one of the best decisions we made to book them! Our guests are still talking about how great they were and how much fun they had on the dance floor because of this band!

The Uptown Getdowns were amazing! They went above and beyond to make our wedding reception great. They were so easy to work with and met all our expectations. We had so many compliments after the reception about the band! We could not have asked for a better band to play at our wedding.

The best band a bride and groom could ever ask for!! I have gotten so many compliments on our band!! The music was beautiful the vibe they give off is wonderful.

The Uptown Getdowns were a pleasure to work with and a huge hit during our wedding. They handled all of our special requests - learning new songs, handling entrances, and working in other AV elements - and guests loved their music and style. I kept hearing praises throughout the night. Hire them!

Amazing band! 

Steve was amazing to work with. He made everything so easy. The music was great, our guests raved about it. A great mix of songs and it was so special to have the band learn a few songs that we wanted and have them played.

Turk/Hernandez 9/23/22

​

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

​

I would give them ten stars if I could. The members were genuinely down to earth, polite and professional when we spoke to them. At my wedding they played awesome music and I couldn’t have asked for a better sound. The music was loud enough to enjoy but not too loud where people had to shout to talk. They also took requests. All of my guests were talking about how great they were. These guys are extremely talented and will deliver!

The Uptown Getdowns were an amazing choice for our wedding! They were so communicative throughout the whole process and made sure everything happened as planned. They sang our first dance song and it was so special to us and they got so many of our guests up and dancing. Everyone in the band is so talented and I can’t recommend them enough for your next event. Five stars!!

Gottlieb/Salvaggio 7/31/22

We could not have asked for a better live band than the Uptown Getdowns for our wedding reception. They are fantastic musicians, super organized, and extremely flexible. They even let us hop on stage to play a few songs with them. Look no further, you MUST hire these guys!!!!

Sulich/Vermeire 7/9/22

​

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

​

The Uptown Getdowns truly made our wedding night. They were so kind, communicative, and easy to work with every step of the way leading up to our wedding and we knew from the moment we spoke with them, we would have a good experience. However, we never could have predicated just HOW incredible they were during our wedding. People were dancing nonstop throughout the night and when it was time for the wedding to end, people were begging them to keep playing. If you want a packed dance floor all night long, look absolutely no further.

PS- they learned a few songs for us which was a really sweet touch and made our night feel extra special!!

The Uptown Getdowns were hands down the best part of our wedding! They had everyone on the dance floor the second they started playing, and had so much incredible energy the entire wedding! The main point of contact Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. We couldn’t recommend the Uptown Getdowns more!!!!

We had the best time on our wedding day with the Uptown Getdowns! After reaching out through their website, we worked with Steve Dans, the band's drummer, who was very communicative and easy to work with. He helped us add a horn player to the group for the day, and lay out a timeline for our reception. The band learned 5 songs for us and everything on the wedding day was absolutely perfect! We received so many compliments from our guests that the band sounded great, brought such a good energy, and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! They made our reception such a fun party! It was exactly what we hoped it would be!

Gallagher/Ferguson 8/28/21

We could not have been happier with this band!!! Hands down, our favorite vendor. We saw them perform at another venue and were very interested in having them play at our wedding. Steve, the drummer/manager, was a joy to work with. He was very thorough in asking us our song preferences, managing the party's timing day of, and ensuring that everyone was sure to dance. In addition, we were very impressed with the hora they played. Not only did they learn new songs that we requested, but they learned some of the Hebrew lyrics as well! And the horn section made it unforgettable. (We suggest getting the horn section even if you're not doing a hora). 10/10. We highly recommend the The Uptown Getdowns!

Rosen/Kahnowitz 8/15/21

If fantastic singing, personality, quality sound, and great music are important to you, then this band is perfect!! They made the day so special and provided so much good energy that people had to get up and dance!

Friedman/Green 7/11/21

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

Before booking the band, we saw them play at a few bars and other events, and each time they impressed us and played a really great variety of music. Once we booked them for the wedding, Steve and the rest of the band were so great to work with and learned songs for our wedding dances and other songs we requested. We received so many complements from our guests about the band, and they made the wedding go very smoothly and played incredibly well the entire time. We would love to book them in the future for other events, and will recommend them to all our friends getting married in the future!

From start to finish- the Uptown Getdowns were exceptionally accommodating, professional, talented & personable. Not only did they deliver an incredible performance at our wedding, they worked closely with us the entire process and remained flexible with our decision to post-pone due to Covid. Our guests really enjoyed the variety of music and the contagious energy they brought to the venue. Steve, in particular, really helped keep me calm and relaxed during the planning process! This band is made up of the best of the best, phenomenal musicians with big hearts, full of positive vibes and passion. Thanks for making our wedding day extra special & we look forward to seeing you perform locally.

Could not have had a better experience with the Uptown Getdowns! From start to finish, the band was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and did I mention talented?! There was not one single guest at our wedding that was not impressed by how well they sounded and interacted with guests on the dance floor. My wife and I decided to add the optional horn section, which was suggested by Steve the drummer. The decision couldn't have worked out better since the horn section was excellent and added a perfect touch to the already great-sounding band. We could never understand why people opt for a DJ when you can have an 8 piece band play live music for all different eras. After hearing this band once, we will realize that you will never want to have a DJ at your wedding again.

Amazing Music & Customer Service!!

I cannot say enough good things about the Uptown Getdowns! From our first contact, they were professional, responsive, and just genuinely good & fun people. 

The day of, they were on time and ready to go! They set everything up in a timely manner; instruments, PA system, lighting, EVERYTHING. The music was phenomenal. They played a great mix of 70s/80s/90s/ and today's hits. I come from a family of musicians, and trust me when I say, all the musicians were flawless. They were also very willing to personalize anything and everything for me. I am a huge fan of 90's music and they did a special 90's block towards the end of the night for me!

I had so many people during the wedding, ask me "where did you find this band, they are amazing!" If you are considering booking the Uptown Getdowns, DO IT! You will not regret it!!!

Varick/Steele  9/27/20

If you're anything like me, you take forever to make a decision. You read a million reviews, make a ton of phone calls and watch/listen to a bunch of songs or go see whatever band you're looking into. Let me just save you the trouble..book this band. I can't possibly say enough good things about them. Steve was my contact throughout and he could not have been more professional, friendly, and responsive, always answering my many questions and emails and adapting to changes in plans. Their sound is the best part though- we had seen them in a bar and they sounded even better at our wedding. They learned our song weeks before the wedding and it was perfect. They had everyone up and dancing-even my 90-year-old grandma! They are true professionals and it shows-you can tell they've been playing together forever because their sound is absolutely flawless and their harmony is amazing. Not to mention their insane song repertoire! They really made our wedding so special and memorable. Book them-you won't be disappointed!

THE BEST WEDDING BAND EVER

I can’t write enough good things about the Uptown Getdowns. So many of our wedding guests couldn’t stop raving about the music. The band is so talented, engaging, and know exactly what to play to have all guests, young and old, up on the dance floor having a great time. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

Hiring Uptown Get Downs was the BEST decision we made! 

Hired the band for our outdoor tented wedding on 8/24. Working with Steve was great; he was extremely flexible, attentive and always available. The band learned the 5 songs we requested and absolutely nailed them. They really made our wedding come to life. The groom and I are still in awe of their performance, as well as, all of our guests. A few people asked us after the wedding for their contact info to hire. Book them!! You will be so happy you did.

Thanks Uptown Getdowns for everything! You made our day the best.

The Uptown Getdowns were hands down the best vendors we booked for our wedding!

We'd seen them live before - both at a bar in Hoboken and at a friend's wedding - so we were confident going in that the quality of their performance would be excellent. But what we didn't anticipate was how incredibly communicative they were leading up to the wedding. Steve went above and beyond to get a sense of me and my husband, our guests, and the vibe we were trying to create. When our wedding day rolled around and it was 105 degrees, they still managed to get everyone on the dance floor. I cannot possibly recommend them enough!!

​Contillo 7/20/19

----------------------------------------------------------------

​

Hands down, the best band around.

Not only are they all such great people, but they are such talented musicians! They brought such fun, joy and love to our special day and we were so lucky to have them there with us. Everyone danced all night long and shouted "Encore!" when they were done because no one wanted them to stop playing. Thank you guys for being so awesome and rocking our wedding! <3

The band was absolutely amazing!

Throughout the night multiple people from both my and my wife's family came up to us saying they loved the band. They were always responsive in the months leading up to our wedding, and were able to accommodate all of our requests. The ceremony music was just what we had hoped for, and they kept the party going for the entire reception! We are definitely recommending them to others.

Unbelievably talented, Made our reception amazing

My husband and I wanted a live band but weren’t sure if we could afford it. My husband saw the band perform at a bar and got in touch. The band was super responsive and easy to work with. Their prices were within our budget. If it weren’t for their reasonable prices, we would be unable to have a live band! The Uptown Getdowns did not disappoint! They far surpassed our expectations. They offer an extensive and varied song list. They also offer to learn a variety of songs such as our first dance song and father/daughter dance. Our wedding had a wide variety of people, young and old, outgoing and shy, etc. The band was excellent catering to our varied guests and making sure everyone had fun. They followed any special instructions to a T. We can be awko tacos and they worked with us and made everything super easy and relaxed. They learned an important Irish song, The Parting Glass, for the last song of our reception. I will always remember that moment as one of my favorites ever. Thank you so much to the Uptown Getdowns. I would sincerely recommend them to anyone and would answer any questions about them.

The Uptown Getdowns rocked our wedding!!!

We are so happy we chose them to be our wedding band. Their performance and talent was nothing short of amazing! They filled up the ballroom with their signature sound and kept our guests boogying through our special day. One of my favorite moments, was when the brass section joined us on the dance floor and kept the sounds swirling around us. That was super awesome, unexpected and added a nice bit of spontaneity. As we made our rounds to greet all our guests we couldn't even tell you how many compliments we got on The Uptown Getdowns. That is a great feeling. Steve (the drummer) was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He was friendly, accommodating and made sure we had everything we wanted for our wedding. Overall, everything was perfect, and we couldn't think of a better to band to have at our wedding. Not only are they talented, fun, energetic, and professional, they are super reasonable too! So, if you're in search for an awesome wedding band definitely check out The Uptown Getdowns!

Stop what you're doing immediately and book this band.

Seriously. This is it. Click the button. They were that good. They were unbelievable. Young guests, older guests, and everyone in the middle were on their feet the entire time, and enthusiastically complimenting them was the first thing EVERYONE said to me that night (and I was the bride, so they could have said some other stuff, you know?) We had the 8 person version of the band, as we opted to include the optional brass section, which i also recommend. Those guys really enhanced the sound and brought the party to the dance floor--literally. They were out jamming and dancing in the crowd, which was awesome. They have an amazingly extensive song list (the first time I read it I wanted every single one played; if only there were enough time), but if on the off chance you want something they don't know they can learn it flawlessly within a matter of weeks. They learned our first dance song and it absolutely perfect. They took a break at one point to eat their dinner, but because the vibe was so good they didn't want to disrupt the flow and they played straight through the entire night. I think that's their best strength: reading the room and knowing what to play next. Every single song was a hit; no fillers, no misses. My groom and I even got a surprise icing (don't ask) from our friends, and they immediately went into "Ice, Ice, Baby" by Vanilla Ice to accompany it. Awesome. Lead vocalists are great. They have a great female singer and a wonderful male singer, which is a huge strength and allows them to have a diverse sound. Their overall sound is awesome, too, which is something that was tough for me when I was looking bands because my mom, sister, and aunt are music teachers and my uncle, cousin, and a member of our bridal party are professional musicians... but obviously these guys are top notch, so I had nothing to worry about. Their sense of humor is awesome, too. I put a bunch of jokes into what I asked them to read for the bridal party introductions and they pulled it off, which is something that could have really fallen flat if it were done incorrectly. And they were cracking jokes all night. Steve (the drummer and the contact for the band) was extremely professional, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He got back to emails right away, which makes a huge difference if you're handling all the vendors yourself. Definitely recommend going to one of their shows and checking it out for yourself, we had a blast when we saw them play in Hoboken, but trust me, they're beyond awesome. Long story short, lock these guys down while you can!

My husband and I are SO happy that we discovered this gem of a band to book for our wedding in October 2017.

They sounded AWESOME and kept the energy going all night through everything from having horn players engaging throughout the dance floor, adding some funky personality to the songs, emceeing an anniversary song, and inspiring a gigantic conga line. It was SO much fun and all our guests keep raving about it. The band was also great to work with. They learned songs for us (and did it well), locked down all our preferences, got a feel for how our personalities should translate to the entertainment, and they were very professional and on-point with all the set-up & logistics. Even when our reception timeline got messed up during the wedding, they were able to just naturally go with the flow and flexibly adjust on-the-fly to make sure all the important moments and songs were covered. Great people, great music, great decision to hire this band!

We had the Uptown Getdowns for our wedding and they far exceeded all of our

expectations.

My husband and I are huge music people and the music we had

for our wedding was extremely important. The band was amazing and we

couldn't have asked for anything better. They learned 5 songs that we

requested and we were blown away. I highly recommend having the Uptown

Getdowns for any event! The BEST wedding band we could've asked for. Thank

you guys for everything!

Book the Uptown Getdowns if you want to have a seriously rocking reception!

My guests were up on their feet dancing the night away to a perfect mix of music from every decade from the 60s to current hits and a nice balance of slow and faster songs. Steve, their drummer, is the main contact for the band, and he was completely relaxed and responsive to every question. When I contacted him he was quick to reply, and we even got to have a nice phone chat to talk more about our vision before we decided to book them. Their song list is extensive, but they are also super flexible when it comes to learn a few new songs that are special to you. I requested a few songs from their "extras" and "special requests" list, and they made sure to play them for me. They even got someone to play a custom song for our ceremony! Our mothers (gay wedding here) were a little slow on deciding what song they wanted to have a mother-son dance to, but they were quick to rehearse it when given a week's notice, and it was perfect. And personally, every band member I talked to was just a genuinely great person - nice, funny, quick-witted, professional, and knowledgeable about their craft. Mary, their main vocalist, has a unique talent to lend her voice to a wide variety of musical genres and sound great in all of them (just look at their song list on their website), and vocalist/pianist Peter was the perfect emcee for the night - funny, sentimental, and great at reading a crowd. And Steve - a top-notch ad-hoc manager for his band that knows how to deliver a great party at a reasonable price. My guests couldn't stop raving about the band, and I'm still hearing from them today (the day after) about how awesome they are. One guest is even looking to book them for her own (non-wedding) event! As one guest said, "Can I book them to play my life?" They made a perfect soundtrack to a wonderful night, and because of them I still can't stop dancing even today.

The Uptown Getdowns were an absolute pleasure to work with. They had a huge library of songs to choose from and were extremely professional. They learned our requests with no problem. They looked great, sounded great and Pete did a wonderful job announcing and emceeing. They were fun and keep the party going all night!! Affordable and extremely talented. This is the wedding band you should go with. You will not be disappointed!!

Our wedding would not have been the same without the Uptown Getdowns.

Almost a month later and every guest we talk to raves about how much fun they had at our wedding, largely in part to the GREAT band. We found them at Finnegan’s in Hoboken, NJ and were instantly impressed. Should you want to elevate the experience – be sure to add the horn section. They interacted with the crowd and added a whole other element. Planning with Steve was effortless – he was so easy to talk to and willing to collaborate for every part of the night. Equipment and lighting was top notch and the band was professional and personable throughout the entire evening. We would HIGHLY recommend them and couldn’t have imagined our special day without them. .

Weddings can be so stressful, the planning, organizing, vendors, etc.  But fear not on the BAND front!! The Uptown Getdowns were fantastic! Their website is great, very informative and you can get a total sense of their sound for sure.  As soon as we heard them, we called to book them. From that point on, it was totally seamless. They are VERY responsive, answer all questions and are SO accommodating.  The price was right, which made tipping them at the end of the night an absolute pleasure. Honestly, you can not go wrong with this great band!! Laurie (Mother of the Groom).

I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful performance you and your band put on at our wedding. We had such an amazing time! You were the right amount of class and sass that we were looking for!! All of our friends and family gushed about your performance. We will definitely write a review for you and refer as many people as we possibly can!  We loved every second of it. Thank you so much for making our night so special!

They were ridiculously awesome.

The Uptown Getdowns just played my wedding on Saturday.I actually probably neglected some of my bride duties because I could not keep myself off of the dance floor. My guests felt the same way and were there with me on the dance floor until the last song was played. The only time the dance floor wasn't packed was when the band took a break to hit the photobooth. These guys are seriously awesome and if I could hire them every weekend to follow me around to my friends houses and local bars, I would. They play a huge variety of music from motown, to funk, to 80s to 90s to more contemporary top 40 kind of hits. You will not be sorry if you hire the Uptown Getdowns. They are really the best.

If you want excellent music at an afordable price for your wedding The Uptown Getdowns are the way to go.

They made my wedding awesome. People who don't dance on a regular basis were up dancing at my wedding. They are very accomadating with learning new songs. Honestly they will make your wedding day so rememberable and fun!!!!
