Their online videos truly don't do them justice. The group of seven musicians was absolutely phenomenal--punctual, professional, and incredibly talented. The music was vibrant, the energy unmatched, and the singers were outstanding. They created such a joyful and unforgettable atmosphere that had everyone engaged and entertained. If our schedule had allowed, we would have happily enjoyed another hour of their music. We highly recommend Mariachi Relámpago to anyone looking to make their celebration extraordinary.

While each raved about how good they were, I found Mariachi Espuelas easy to talk with and do business with. They arrived on time and did a beautiful job. They were so charismatic and played some wonderful traditional songs that each of us enjoyed. We had two of our senior family members 85-95 years old whom loved the music as they had grown up listening to mariachis all their lives at restaurants and hispanic festivities. I would very strongly recommend this group when looking for entertainment. They didn't miss a beat and were wonderful. SInce we live in the Hill Country on 5 acres, our neighbors told us they sat out in their porches to enjoy their music. Our immediate neighbor said their horses lined up along our fence and loved the music as well. Make the perfect choice and choose Mariachi Espuelas - you won't go wrong!

Great time had by all.

Speakeasy is kind of a maze, so I couldn't see them at first, but I could tell after just a few bars that this was no recording. He wasn't just tickling the ivories; he was making sweet, sweet love to them. Coupled with the sexy crooning of Ms. Hoar, this was one lucky piano, and we were quite a fortunate audience.

They played an acoustic set during cocktail hour, which was phenomenal. For the reception, once the music started - it didn't stop. They kept the crowd engaged, had everyone singing/dancing, and put on a fantastic show. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. They are easy to work with, fun, and most of all, very talented musicians! Thank you for making our wedding so memorable and fun!

Book them now, if you can. Don't hesitate…read more We wanted our wedding to be a great party with great music, and Uptown Drive delivered in such a major way. They are so talented and they make it really fun. Everyone at the wedding was raving about the band; saying it was the best wedding band they'd seen. It was nice and it was true--and it's really what you want at your wedding, for your guests to be raving about how much fun they're having. Also, my now-husband is very particular about music, so their range, for him, especially the Motown, was part of the appeal. Definitely add the brass. We'd had the pleasure of seeing them perform in Austin prior to the date, and we're hoping to catch them in Austin again soon. They're just great.
