    Uptown groove did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding reception! Seth was so respectful during our planning process and was very open to collaborating with us to make sure our timeline and song selections were perfect! Dom, Jamel, Janine & BJ tackled our diverse song selection on vocals flawlessly. If you decide to splurge on one thing for your wedding day, make it be this band. You will not regret it!

    Book them now—hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! The band was absolutely incredible, and the dance floor was packed all night long. Our guests are still raving about how amazing they were—it truly made the night unforgettable. On top of the phenomenal performance, Seth was a dream to work with. He took the time to hop on multiple calls with us throughout the planning process, always patient and helpful as we navigated booking a band for the first time. His guidance and responsiveness made everything so much easier. We truly can't recommend them highly enough—they exceeded every expectation.

    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!
