EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED FOR OUR WEDDING
Upbeat Street were exactly what I wanted for our wedding. Good communication before hand, no fuss setup while we had our wedding breakfast, and the performance was incredible! They learned a stripped down version of In My Life as our first dance then launched into an amazing set list that appealed to all age groups of guest. As the night drew to a close, they seemed to pick the energy levels up further, finishing with hit after hit. Guests dancing inside had a fantastic time.

Upbeat Street were absolutely amazing!!
Upbeat Street were absolutely amazing!! We booked them for our wedding and they delivered two brilliant sets that got everyone dancing from the very first song. They had a great selection of music to choose from and performed them all to perfection! All our guests said how great they were, and our wedding venue even took their contacts details for any events they needed a band for. Thank you so much guys!!

"All the bangers"
Absolutely phenomenal. If you want a band who can really get an audience going then this is the one. The lead singer has the most amazing voice and the rest of the band really accompany her. All the bangers, work the crowd, easy to book and communicate with 11/10 performance. Would recommend in a heart beat. Thankyou so much for finishing off an amazing day. A night to remember!

Upbeat Street were the perfect band
Upbeat Street were the perfect band for our wedding! They arrived in plenty of time despite travelling a long distance, and they were flexible with our slightly altered times on arrival. Their choice of songs and their fun energy kept our guests dancing all evening and we had loads of compliments about their performance, particularly the volume of the music and choice of songs. The guitarist even participated in the limbo which added to the magic of the performance. We would highly recommend.
