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.

"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 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!!

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.

We cannot recommend this band enough!!

wedding on 30 May 2021. We cannot recommend this band enough!! Justin was so helpful in the months leading up to the wedding, helping to organise the timings of the day and willing to cater to the ever-changing covid restrictions. The acoustic duo played during the ceremony and drinks reception and the music was beautiful, the acoustic music made the ceremony feel very relaxed and personal as we got to choose the songs that were played. The full band played during the evening and they were AWESOME! Justin, Craig, Charlie, and Carlo were interactive with our guests and everyone was up on the dance floor for the majority of the night! Our guests loved the mixture of music that was played and said they’d never heard anyone sing a Whitney Houston song live as well as Charlie did (she does have one amazing voice)! Thanks guys for giving us one big party and letting us appreciate live music again, even though we only had 30 guests, it certainly didn’t feel like it with Electric Outfit Band playing.

"They really got the party going and kept everyone on the dance floor all evening"

wedding on the 26th June 2021. From the very start they were nothing but professional and kind; they also happily moved our date when we had to postpone due to Covid. They listened to our set requests (a heavy dose of Soul/Motown with some more modern classics to end the evening) and learnt and sung our chosen first dance song which brought us to tears upon hearing it on our wedding day. Quite literally everyone we spoke to commented on how amazing the band were – they really got the party going and kept everyone on the dance floor all evening. We couldn’t have wished for more and will forever be grateful for making it such a perfect day. Thank you so much. We couldn’t recommend you more! xx
