    WOW does The Uptown Groove know how to throw a party! This band is so talented, the dancing never stopped! I think everyone on the dance floor said "this band is amazing" for every song. My husband and I sent an overview of the type of music we'd like to be played at our wedding, and Seth and the group put together an incredible song list from their very long list of songs. You can 100% trust that this talented group of musicians will deliver exactly what you are hoping for. Not only was the party a blast, Seth knows how to run a wedding timeline so smoothly that you don't have to worry about a thing on your wedding day. I will be recommending this band to anyone and everyone in the Rochester area. Thanks for the best party of my life!

    The Uptown Groove was hands down the best wedding band we could have hoped for. Their communication and coordination with us throughout the planning process was exceptional - they were incredibly responsive, flexible, and made sure we were on the same page every step of the way. On the day of, they kept the dance floor packed from the first song to the last, with a perfect blend of classic hits and modern favorites that had all our guests raving. Seth, the manager and guitarist, was an absolute pro and led the band with energy and enthusiasm. From the magical ceremony music to the lively cocktail hour jazz and the full-on party atmosphere of the reception, The Uptown Groove truly made our wedding day unforgettable. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

    The Uptown Groove was AMAZING for our wedding!!!!! Seth and his colleagues were great to work with during the planning process, as well as on the day of our wedding. Many of our guests commented on how great the band was and how unique it was having a live band instead of a DJ. Their repertoire of different genres across different eras was also very impressive, and they absolutely NAILED every song!!!!! We danced the whole night, and it was so incredibly memorable. We also loved the ability to have brass in the band, and the saxophonist even came onto our dance floor to do a solo. They even personalized some songs for us to make it literally the best wedding that we could possibly ask for. Thanks again!!!!! Highly recommend!!!!! :-)

    Uptown Groove was the absolute best band a wedding couple could ask for! Since the first time we have met with Seth all the way through the last minute, words can’t describe how efficient and professional they were. Seth gave us exactly what my husband and I wanted for our wedding day. The band had such great attitude and brought the party to the dance floor. Seth answered all of our questions we had throughout this whole process. I knew once our wedding day approached we would have nothing to worry about. Seth made sure the band was fully prepared to bring it all night long. We are so happy we decided to hire uptown groove for our special day. You truly could not go wrong with picking them for your next event. Thank you uptown groove for the best night of our lives!
