Review by Lindsey P.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on October 19, 2023From Philadelphia, PA

The Uptown Band was amazing! They were on time, all dressed to the nines, incredibly talented, professional and with a wide range of music to ramp up the party - cocktail music, jazz, recent hits etc. We loved the multiple instruments played - horns, sax, keyboard, guitars and let's not forget their incredible voices. They were also very engaging with our attendees making it not only great to listen to but also fun for everyone to get involved. I would hire them again in a second! I actually hope to be back in the area in the future to do such!

Any questions we had were answered almost immediately! Erich was very helpful and as a busy bride helped me to remember the moments I wouldn't have thought of on my own!
