Just a short note to thank you for your recommendation of 2unes for our rehearsal party. It was an incredible evening! The music was the perfect complement to the party. Nice background music while we ate which still allowed for conversation. Later, they sang some special songs for our son and bride-to-be. Each member of the band was so cordial. Many people mentioned to me how much they LOVED the band!
Trying to put together an event from out of town can be difficult. You made this part very easy and I would highly recommend your company and 2unes to anyone. It was a perfect evening and I thank you for your part in creating it.
Wow, the Uptown Entertainment Band was without a doubt the best!! They were wonderful-talented, read the crowd well, were fun, and everyone overstayed the party!! Mr. Woodall was great at keeping in touch with us and in trying to accommodate us in every way. The wedding was a huge success, and 99% was due to the Uptown Entertainment Band. I would recommend them and Sam Hill Entertainment to anyone. You were diligent in your position and took a lot of pressure off of us all. Claudia and Mike were delighted!
Not only were they terrific musically they announced the wedding party perfectly and handled the “garter” and “bouquet throwing” perfectly. They played all the requested songs-actually better than the original artists.
I write to commend the performance of the Uptown Entertainment Band at our wedding on July 9. They exceeded our expectations in every respect. We could not have been happier with their musical performance, their professionalism, and their friendly personalities. We have been to other weddings where the price tag for the band was higher, but I think the Uptown Entertainment Band is the best wedding band I have heard.
Musically, they were fantastic. We had high hopes for them, and they turned out to be better than we could have imagined. As groom, I was unable to hear their instrumental set, but I heard that it was magnificent. They played a wonderful set after the first dance, and then really turned it up at the end. They never let the dance floor go dead. We received so many compliments about the band from the guests, which I wish I could relay, but they are too many to count.
I was also extremely impressed with their professionalism. They showed up on time and set up on time. They adapted their setup to fit the size of the room, even though they probably wished they’d had more space. The volume level was perfect; they got the crowd going without overpowering the function. They took short breaks at appropriate times. They were able to be the stars of the show but also take a back seat to the bride and groom.
There were two aspects of the evening that stood out above others. First, the band noticed that the groom’s cake was in the shape of a guitar. With this in mind, they invited me onstage to play a number with them: Stand by Me. This was a highlight of the wedding for everyone. This showed the band’s willingness to go above and beyond to try to make the event special for us and our guests.
Second, they showed their honesty and integrity to the highest degree. At the reception, there was some confusion as to who would be paying the band. I gave Tunes a check from my account, but another member of the band had spoken to my mother and also received a check from her. Before they left, Tunes ran back inside and found my mother and returned the double payment from her. This is merely one example of their friendly and professional personalities.
The Uptown Entertainment Band was wonderful in every way, and we thank you for setting us up with them.
UEB was incredible. They were friendly, professional, and reliable. They accommodated my request to start the evening with jazz standards and then to play dance music later in the evening. The performance was outstanding! Great stage presence, awesome sound. Our guests loved them. There was a lot of dancing, even from some guests I wasn’t expecting to see on the dance floor! Throughout the evening, people made it a point to tell us what a great band we had hired, and how much they were enjoying the music. My fiance said, “I knew you had hired a great band, but they still managed to exceed my expectations!” I would recommend UEB to anyone!
