He rolled with the flow and even helped us get back on track when our timeline got messed up!

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.

Uptown Drive was recommended by our event planners, and we were absolutely blown away by their performance! Our team did most of the interfacing with the band, but Greg was incredibly responsive on the few occasions we did reach out directly. Pretty much everyone who attended our party commented on the band being the best they've ever experienced. They selected great music based on our feedback, they deftly guided the flow throughout the night, and they kicked it up a notched and really got the party going after dinner. We planned to lean on a live band to be our primary entertainment, and they exceeded our expectations! We will be forever grateful to Uptown Drive for being a big part of what made our party so memorable for us and our guests.

We had the pleasure of experiencing DJ Smooth B and his incredible team at our wedding, and we must say, it was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, DJ Smooth B and his team provided top-notch service that truly made the event one to remember. Upon our initial meeting, it was evident that Brodrick aka DJ Smooth B was a professional who takes his craft seriously. Can we mention that we interviewed seven DJs before selecting DJ Smooth B, and it's clear why he was the clear choice. His attention to detail and commitment to creating the perfect atmosphere for their special day was truly commendable. The setup was impeccable. DJ Smooth B and his team arrived early to set up the DJ services, uplighting, photo booth, 360 booth, and custom dance floor. Everything looked stunning, and the addition of cold sparks added a touch of magic to the celebration. The ambiance they created was nothing short of spectacular. As the evening progressed, DJ Smooth B proved to be a master at reading the crowd and keeping the energy high on the dance floor. The music selection was spot on, and they played all the hits that we had requested, and then some. The guests couldn't resist the urge to dance, and the party never missed a beat. One thing that stood out to us was the seamless transition between songs and the way DJ Smooth B effortlessly kept the groove going. It was clear that he understands how to keep a party alive and ensure that everyone has a fantastic time. We found ourselves unable to sit down for dinner as the music was just too good to resist. Overall, hiring DJ Smooth B was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. His professionalism, talent, and dedication to his work shone through every moment of the event. I can confidently say that DJ Smooth B is the best wedding DJ out there, and I have been to a lot of weddings with 10 siblings which eight of them are married. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their event and keep the party going all night long. In conclusion, if you're searching for a phenomenal wedding DJ who knows how to create a memorable experience and keep the dance floor packed, look no further than DJ Smooth B. Trust me, you'd be missing out if you didn't choose him for your special day. Thank you, DJ Smooth B, for an unforgettable evening filled with music, laughter, and joy.

Phil completely tailors the tunes to suit your preferences. He's amazing at selecting music to get people on the dance floor, and he will surprise you with his brilliant mixes, like when he transitioned Ginuwine's "Pony" into Mary Lambert's "She Keeps Me Warm" at my gay millenial wedding. He's also got all the equipment and expertise to run sound for whatever you need, including karaoke! Plus he's just an all-around kind, generous, and fun person to work with.

Sanchez Entertainment

  • Serves Thorndale, TX for additional fees

My name is Rogelio (Roger) Sanchez aka DJ Konkocshun. It all began while in H.S., a buddy of mine (I consider him my brother) was a DJ and I used to tag along and even help him mix some tracks. After H.S. I joined the Marine Corps and after several years, I continued to get the itch of mixing music and missed playing on the turntables. After an experience we had with another DJ for a personal event, I decided to give it a go. I love mixing different genres of music and the excitement of people enjoying themselves while on the dance floor or bobbing their heads in their seats. I practice my craft daily to present a beautiful experience.

I was a little iffy about having a band, I was so worried about people not dancing or not having a fun time. Boy was I wrong. This band was absolutely incredible!!! I had so many people asking me their name and commenting on how fun it was. My sister told me she has never been to a wedding where people never left the dance floor. The band really made this wedding amazing. Due to covid we only had about 53 people total and we were so worried for nothing. The band had me the groom up on stage singing and dancing with them. We had gone through their list of songs and marked which ones we liked/disliked, but with all the craziness of the wedding I never got around to sending it. This made me even more nervous because I hoped they wouldnt play things no one liked. Again, so wrong. They knew exactly what to play, they played classic rock, current pop, 90's music, some Motown, R&B, Sinatra for dinner set. They knew what would get people dancing. My husband who is a huge Alabama fan got pulled up on stage to sing sweet home Alabama. He loved it! Mark was incredible as well. He never minded to talk with me on the phone about our goals/worries for the wedding. He gave me the best piece of advice that if the bride and groom are having fun, the rest will follow and he was definitely right. We both agreed all night that this was the perfect choice. We were absolutely blown away with them! Definitely a must book for your wedding.

  • DJ
  • Serves Thorndale, TX for additional fees

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.
