If you are contemplating the price, let me just say it is worth every penny and more! These guys went above and beyond their roles. DJ Scott was amazing and made all of our emo dreams come true. He rolled with the flow and even helped us get back on track when our timeline got messed up! The photobooth was also worth every bit and we even got the cutest photo book with all the fun pictures everyone took!! Keith helped so much dealing with our crowd, wild nephew and even helped hang our neon sign! We will recommend this company to everyone and for sure use them for future events! Thank you so much Scott and Keith for making our day even more special. Much love guys

We were hesitant to hire a DJ for our wedding, we weren’t sure we really needed one, but wow we were wrong! Cory made everything so seamless, from start to finish. From my initial communications, we felt at ease with Cory. He was definitely the easiest vendor to work with out of everyone! He made sure he was providing exactly what we envisioned for music and audio, rather than what he might typically prefer. I even made the comment to him after the ceremony that I hadn’t even noticed he was there, he was just in the background ensuring the ceremony went off without a hitch! For the reception, he announced everything professionally and easily, and really did a great job playing songs that fit the mood. His work was absolutely worth his rate and more, a great value and very reasonable! I’m looking forward to recommending him to our friends and family, and working with him for our next bash as well! Thanks Cory!!

Uptown Drive

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Portland, TX

Our goal is to curate the perfect entertainment at every event to execute our client's vision from start to finish. Uptown Drive has a very diverse song catalog that is well suited to serve as the soundtrack to your wedding reception or to be featured at your corporate event. We also offer an amazing interactive (live band karaoke) element to our corporate shows which is a total hit! We love to highlight our musicianship while playing the best dance songs from the Motown / Soul eras all the way through the hits of the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and today’s top 40.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I am pretty much speechless because this band is THAT good. I first want to compliment, Greg Williams, the owner of Uptown Drive. From booking all the way through wedding day, he was nothing but responsive, respectful and a pleasure to work with. As for the reception, they made it what it was! I think what is incredible about them is they entertain everyone (not only those dancing on the dance floor) because every song is a TRUE performance. I am not lying when i say this, every time I have seen someone that attended my wedding, every one of them (young or old) comment on how great the band was. FYI I'm three months out from my wedding, so I've seen a lot of my guests since then. They played the right music while everyone was eating and visiting and knew exactly how to transition to dance floor time by doing a conga line. They let my husband and I get on stage and sing which we will remember and cherish forever. They came out into the crowd and let out our guest sing. They came out in the crown and danced with us! Me and some of my guests joke that we would like to have another wedding just so we can have them play again. I could absolutely not recommend this band anymore! Stop here and BOOK THEM!!! P.S. I have included some pics to show you how much of a good time me and all our guest were having. - AN EXTREMLY HAPPY BRIDE

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

I bring all of my own gear so, if you give me a power outlet, I can start a dance party. I also MC receptions and can run sound and microphones for ceremonies and presentations.

Phillip was kind, professional, and clear with his vision of how the day would go from the very start. We met him early in the day as he was setting up, and we immediately began talking about the flow of the day. He was very apparent in letting us know that he wanted to work as a team in order to create the best day for our couple. From the moment music started playing, guests literally started walking up to us and telling us how amazing the music was -- a great mix of artists and also a bit outside of the normal wedding music box (which people appreciated as it was refreshing). We would (and will) recommend Phil to all of our clients looking for a DJ, he didn't stop working until the last guests were headed out of the venue (and he even helped work behind the bar for a second while the bartender ran to the restroom!!!) DJ Phil does it ALL, you won't regret hiring him for your day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can’t begin to describe how amazing this band was. When we hired them after a recommendation/commendation from another couple who called Blind Date the highlight of their wedding, we thought maybe they were being hyperbolic, but we knew at least the band would be good enough for a good time. Never in my life could I have imagined a band was capable of being as great as they were. From the beautiful jazz dinner set (it felt like I was listening to the jazz greats themselves), to the best two hours of dancing I’ve ever enjoyed in my life, Blind Date blew us away. Every single guest commented on how great they were. They were beyond fantastic and we can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect. They brought us on stage for the MOST electric moments of the whole wedding--I felt like I was doing my own Vegas residency show. The LIGHT setup they bring themselves made the whole thing feel like a rock concert. It was the best day of my entire life and I can't imagine having a different band. I want to become a groupie for this band and start crashing other weddings they're playing at. BOOK THIS BAND! Their set list is PHENOMENAL, they learned a new song for our first dance and BLEW US OUT OF THE WATER with it. Everything was perfect. We're going to be talking about this band for as long as we're talking about our wedding. I am so beyond glad a referral from a couple we trusted turned into booking the best wedding band in the world.

His voice was amazing and really added the vibe we wanted to our wedding. He was also flexible with using songs we wanted from Spotify and playing live music. We couldn't have asked for more. He is phenomenal!

Music is our life and nothing brings people together more than music and celebration. We started with the idea of helping people celebrate the best day of their lives without having to sacrifice their first born to do so.

We were initially on the fence about getting a DJ versus simply using a Spotify playlist for our reception, but James made us so glad we chose him. Months out from the wedding, James sent us a link to a portal, which let us start putting together lists of must play songs, play if possible songs, and do not play songs, which made for a fun break when other wedding planning got stressful. About a week out from the wedding, James had a call with us where he went over our timeline and what all announcements we were wanting him to make as the MC. He pointed out to us (and was 100% right about) some issues that we didn't even know we might have and how to address them. Only a few days before the wedding, when we realized that the version of the song we had learned our choreography to for our first dance was edited down from the full version, we emailed James in a panic about what to do. He reassured us that he would find a way to make it work and ultimately edited his own version for us. On the day of the wedding, James arrived early, fielded tech issues that arose from our venue like a champ, and made sure everyone had a great time. Our guests, both old and young, complimented what a great job he was doing throughout the night. The photo booth that we rented through him was also a big hit. James makes sure that in addition to the printed photos at the event, you get a digital copy of all of the photos taken as well. It was fun getting to go back days later and look at all the pictures of our guests enjoying themselves. If we could give James and Ace's High Productions six stars, we would. We can't recommend him highly enough.
