"amazing show & party for our guests"

I can't thank the band enough for making our wedding day so special and putting on an amazing show & party for our guests. They kept everyone on the dancefloor all night, with flawless covers of everything you would want to hear at a wedding, with beautiful vocals and fantastic arrangements, along with a great lighting package that really set the party vibe for the evening. We honestly could not be happier. Craig was so accommodating in the lead up to the event, and put together a great setlist

"interacted with our guests"

Upbeat Street played at the evening of our wedding and they were AMAZING!! In the run up to the wedding they made it really easy to pick out sets, songs, timings etc with great communication. The songs were perfect, they catered for our music preferences and learnt our first dance song. They had so much energy, interacted with our guests and everyone gave so many compliments! Thank you!!

I would 100% recommend Upbeat Street!

Upbeat Street were absolutely amazing and I could not recommend them more! They sung both at our ceremony, drinks reception and in the evening and we have had so many guests comment on how brilliant they were - they sung and played beautifully and got all of our guests onto the dancefloor in the evening! The booking and organising process was so smooth and their communication was incredibly quick and efficient - I felt like I was in very safe hands! I would 100% recommend Upbeat Street!

"a perfect set for the occasion"

Hi Craig Just wanted to say thank you to you and your band members for the excellent job you did on Saturday evening at Chilham Village Hall. You played a perfect set for the occasion and helped the atmosphere by encouraging people to dance. The best compliment I can give you is that a number of people came up to me afterwards and praised the choice of band. I would not hesitate to recommend you in the future.

"they filled the dance floor"

Upbeat Street were absolutely amazing at our wedding. The acoustic duo really added to the atmosphere earlier in the day, and then they filled the dance floor in the evening with a fantastic performance. Easy to work with before the event, and all of the timings and logistics went very smoothly. I'd highly recommend them!

"on the dance floor all night"

Upbeat Street were absolutely fantastic at our wedding!! They listened to our thoughts on music choices, even adding a few of our favourite songs to their dj playlist which played between sets! Our guests were on the dance floor all night - incredible musicians and vocals!! We’ve had so many great comments from our guests! Thank you!

Amazing, Incredible band!

Amazing, Incredible band! They absolutely lit up our wedding and brought such good feels and atmosphere to the evening. Fantastic music and sounds. Caused everyone to dance even the most unlikely souls. I couldn't have wished for a better band. They were the life and soul of the party. Prior to the wedding they had great communication and were so helpful and really took on bored the type of music we wanted. Would definitely recommend and also rebook for any other big party I plan to have. Thank

"far exceeded all of our expectations"

We could not have asked for a better wedding band. From the start of the booking process they were incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with, giving us plenty of say on what type of songs would be performed (and which ones wouldn’t!). And on the day they both delivered on and far exceeded all of our expectations. The acoustic duo set in the afternoon was exactly what we had in mind in terms of tone and vibe, before then keeping our dancefloor packed throughout with their two live band sets
