  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Ruskin, NE for additional fees

The Downtown Collective Band was established in 2016 as just a couple of guys who wanted to jam out in the attic. We started by getting some small gigs here and there doing hybrid DJ/live music performances. Then we found friends from music school at UNL that played instruments and made the jam bigger and got more gigs. Now we are known as one of the top bands in the Midwest. We love playing live music because you get a much more authentic experience with people actually playing instruments and connecting with the crowd! All of our past clients agree- Downtown Collective is a high energy group that gets everyone dancing!

Awarded Best of Zola
“The Downtown Collective was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was excellent and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the energy was amazing, their vocals were outstanding, and they were a true class act. Our guests raved about them all night long. Behind the scenes, they were communicative and great to work with. This band nailed it, and the energy was insane. If you're thinking of booking them, do it now - you'll be so thankful you did. Thank you, Downtown Collective, for helping us throw an amazing celebration!”

“Matthew was truly one of the most important parts of our wedding, and we cannot recommend him enough. He is clearly an expert at what he does, but what makes him so extraordinary is how he does it. He has this incredible ability to captivate an entire room and make everyone feel involved. He doesn’t just perform — he creates moments. If there was one non-negotiable for our wedding, it was having Matthew there, and our guests completely validated that decision. They absolutely RAVED about him all night and continued talking about him afterward. One moment Nick and I will never forget is the entire room singing “New York, New York” together during dinner while Matthew played the saxophone. It is a moment that is forever etched in our brains. And honestly, that is exactly what our wedding was all about — creating those unforgettable moments of unity between both of our families and all of the people we love. We can’t thank Matthew enough for everything he contributed to our wedding and for the extraordinary way he did it. He brought so much energy, emotion, and magic to the night, and we truly cannot imagine our wedding without him. He was absolutely incredible!”

“They say a dream is a wish your heart makes, and Erica was truly a dream to have at my wedding, not only as a musician, but as a warm and kind presence. The very first time I spoke with Erica I just fell in love with her warmth, kindness, professionalism and confidence. We laughed so much on the first call I knew immediately I had to hire her. After the call, my fiancé said that musician you spoke with made you so happy you better just hurry up and hire her. I never even spoke to another musician…I knew none could even come close to Erica. I hired Erica in July for my December Disney wedding. I never felt rushed, overwhelmed or anything stressful. Erica is so kind, her voice is ethereal and she knows how to read a room. She even recommended an amazing officiant to me when I was struggling to find one. Erica was the hit of my wedding, when she started singing to open the ceremony a bird flew up to her, perched next to her and sang with her. Even the bird wanted to be close to her and felt her kindness. This was the most beautiful moment and my guests are still talking about it. I wanted a Disney/Christmas wedding theme and Erica delivered in every aspect. She was also beautifully dressed and looked gorgeous (nobody wants sloppy vendors lol). Erica created the perfect atmosphere by intertwining romantic Disney music as well as Christmas songs. Erica made the wedding a dream come true. The fact that she is well known also helps, as most vendors and venues love working with her. She learned a few new songs for me and worked seamlessly with my other vendors to create the perfect, yes absolutely perfect, day. Thank you Erica! You are a true star!”
