Reviews earned by the band you book.
The band members behind these reviews are the musicians who play your wedding. Never a rotating cast.

From choreographed dances, to outfit changes, to other surprises that I will not spoil, they were such a crowdpleaser and absolutely one of the brightest highlights of our weekend.

Certified Original Lineup
The same band at every San Francisco wedding
Uptown Drive is not a roster of whoever is free that night. These are the musicians on your stage, led by Greg from the grand entrance to the sendoff.
Rehearsed as one band
The same core musicians play every show, so every cue, transition and special dance lands the way you planned it
Greg, start to finish
Your bandleader plans the music with you, works the timeline with your planner and emcees the whole night

Custom live sax EDM grand entrances for the bride, groom and wedding party
Your reception entrance should feel like a headline act. We build a custom live grand entrance for every couple, from the wedding party introductions to the moment you walk in as newlyweds.
Pick your grand entrance song or a mashup of two. We arrange it for the band, cue every couple and groomsmen entrance on the beat, and Greg emcees the introductions so every name lands. Want the DJ to drop the track and live sax to take it from there? That one is a guest favorite.
In a Nob Hill ballroom or a landmark hall downtown, it is the moment that sets the dance floor energy for the rest of the night
Live father-daughter dance and special dances with custom arrangements
The father-daughter dance, the mother-son dance, your first dance and the anniversary dance all hit differently when they are played live.
We love performing every special dance with the full band, shaped to your timing. Planning a surprise father-daughter dance medley or a choreographed routine? Send us your cut and we write a custom arrangement, so every tempo change, pause and big finish lands exactly where you rehearsed it.
List your special dance songs on your planning worksheet and we will learn the ones that mean the most to your family
A choreographed reception show with costume changes and a packed dance floor
This is where we earn the packed dance floor. Our vocalists perform choreographed dance sets, change costumes through the night and take the show out onto the floor with your guests.
Expect crowd call-and-response, sax solos, dance floor medleys and a high-energy live performance from the first set to the last song, with DJ music between sets so the party never stops.
Every detail is rehearsed, from the lighting cues to the last-song frenzy built around the two of you. It is a full wedding reception show, not background music

San Francisco
Planning a San Francisco wedding with a live band
San Francisco weddings fill historic hotel ballrooms, landmark halls and Presidio venues with guests who came for the city itself. We fly the band in from Austin with our own sound, lighting and engineer, and Greg works your timeline with your planner and venue weeks ahead. It is the same live wedding band couples book across Texas and at destination weddings.
Flights built into your quote
We fly in from Austin, usually into SFO, about 13 miles south of the city. Travel is part of every quote, and the band is loaded in, soundchecked and dressed before your guests arrive, from Nob Hill to the Presidio.
City sound rules and load-in
San Francisco restricts amplified sound after 10PM, and downtown venues have tight loading docks and freight elevators. Our engineer keeps the mix inside venue rules, and we plan load-in times with your venue well ahead.
Fog in summer, sun in fall
June through August is often the city’s coolest, windiest stretch, while September and October bring its warmest days. For any terrace or garden setup we plan stage cover, power and a weather call, and most couples book 8 to 14 months out.
