Client Reviews

Don’t just take our word for it… Take a look at what all our happy customers had to say!

Val, 61st Birthday Party
I had originally booked Soulshine for my 60th birthday party in 2020 but obviously the pandemic put paid to that and the event was postponed for a year. Throughout this stressful extended booking period James was calm, helpful, reassuring and a total pleasure to deal with; all my questions and concerns were answered promptly.I had decided that I wanted to celebrate my birthday by dancing the night away and so I had researched bands on the internet. I had chosen Soulshine because, despite never having seen them live, their video told me all I needed to know – so I booked them immediately and hoped they would deliver a great evening. On the night of my party we arrived early, just in time to hear the end of the sound check- it was utterly thrilling! I knew then that booking all 10 band members was the very best decision I could possibly have made. I simply cannot stress enough just how absolutely AMAZING the band were. The 3 vocalists were astounding and hugely engaging and the musicians were absolutely fabulous. Every single party guest raved about the quality of the music and as one friend said the band was “beyond extraordinary”. The atmosphere was electric, the performances were polished and the delivery was so slick! I was on the dance floor for every minute of all three sets and the whole evening was utterly joyful. I cannot tell you how happy I was to have chosen Soulshine, it’s one of the best decisions I have ever made! I really cannot praise them highly enough. If you love great live music and want to have the best possible time then do not hesitate for a moment – book them now!

Emma, wedding
We saw Soulshine Band perform at a friends wedding and thought they were amazing. As soon as we were organising our own party, we knew we had to have them play for us. We were not disappointed. They were every bit as good as the first time we’d seen them. They are very professional, super friendly and great musicians. We love the style of their music, but it’s their energy that really hits you. Every member of the band gives it their all and you really feel like they are enjoying their performance. The female vocalist has got so much energy. She makes her performance really personal to you and is on the dance floor with you….amazing! We didn’t stop dancing all night!

Gemma and Kieran, wedding
Hello James and Everyone!
Wow! Where do we even start?
THANK YOU SO MUCH for being a part of our day on Saturday – we can’t even believe how good you were! Literally every single person (on the evening – and since) has made a comment about how amazing you all are! The dancefloor was full from start to finish – and we really do have you to thank for that. We also LOVED the DJ set – which picked up on our vibe perfectly – and had everyone dancing (again!)
We keep saying that “if only there wasn’t a cut off point for the music at our venue” – you genuinely wouldn’t have got rid of us!
You guys brought the vibe(s) and made our day!
Thank you so much again; we are desperately searching for a new event to host so we can re-book (haha)!
Steph and Dom, wedding
Hi James,
I know that Dom has already sent you a voice note with our thanks to you all for coming to perform at our wedding reception at the weekend but you were all so incredible I felt I needed to email you myself to say thank you!
I let Dom have sole pick/control of the music etc for our day as that is his thing and when he showed me the videos of you guys I knew you would be amazing but nothing prepared me for how incredible you truly were!
I loved every minute of your sets; you really made sure we all had the best time so thank you! You would not believe the amount of comments and compliments we have had about you guys- we still keep getting sent videos and every single one just takes us back to how good it was!
Please pass on my thanks to all the band, not just for your amazing music and performances on Saturday but for being so understanding and amazing throughout our various cancellations & rescheduling along the way! Thank you also for letting Dom borrow your stage etc for his DJ set- he was completely in his element and it was wonderful to see!
You were 1000% worth waiting for and I’m only sad that I’m convinced I will never ever hear a wedding band as good ever again!
Thank you so much,
Steph Gentlesmith

Simon & Yasmin, wedding
We just wanted to say thank you again, it’s really difficult choosing a wedding band as you can’t see people live… your video looked good but although it was great speaking to you before to be honest it still seemed like a little bit of a gamble before hand…. We shouldn’t have worried! We could not have been happier with how it went, you guys were fantastic and our guests had an amazing time, the dancefloor was absolutely packed throughout. You brought so much energy to the night and it just flew by. I think some friends of ours (Mo and Katie) have already booked you, or are planning on booking you for their Wedding in October, so will see you again then! Best wishes, Simon and Yasmin

Dan Whaley, wedding
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your excellent sets at my niece’s wedding at Crabbs Barn last night. I really don’t think I’ve ever seen a wedding band such as yourselves where every single thing was so absolutely spot on; the astounding musicianship of the band, the phenomenal vocals and amazing stage presence of the singer, the variety of the repertoire, the tightness of the performance, the well balanced sound, the engagement with the punters, the overall presentation, I could go on… Clare and Andrew had a fantastic wedding day, and it was so beautifully concluded with your 3 sets. They, and indeed the rest of the family and guests, were still raving about you today, and will doubtless continue to do so for a while yet. I very much hope to see you again, and will certainly recommend you to anyone who is on the lookout for a wedding band. Thanks again. “Uncle” Dan Whaley (yellow Hawaiian shirt, blue porkpie hat, admirer of the guitarist’s quack pedal…)

Sonia, Dulwich College, Staff Christmas Party
Dear James, Just wanted to drop you a note to say the HUGEST thank you for everything you did to support our staff party on Friday with all the lighting and for embracing the Strictly theme with the fantastic glitterball! The Soulshine Band were simply fabulous and the song choice was spot on, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the dance floor so completely rammed from beginning to end before. Not sure how you managed to do that but we cannot thank you enough. We were very grateful for all you did to ensure it was such a success. We cannot wait to have you back at the College again soon and will continue to pass on the band details with gusto! Wishing you a merry Christmas and hope that the new year brings the happiness you deserve. Best wishes and thanks again from us all, Sonia.

Max and Lucy, wedding
Hi James, we have just landed in LA, champagne on ice of course. Honestly, you guys were absolutely out of this world!! We had the most incredible time and you guys absolutely made it for us. All of you were on point and Lola was unbelievable, please gave all of the guys a huge huge thank you from Lucy, you guys made our wedding everything we dreamed it would be!! All the best and be sure that we will be RECOMMENDING you to EVERYONE we know!! #SoulshineBandforlife

Neil Spice, Birthday Party
I’d like to thank you so much for the 3 amazing sets you performed at my 40th Birthday. If I had dreamed of the perfect party it would never have come close to the reality. The whole band were superb, slick and professional. Sasha’s vocals outstanding and the way she works the crowd is just incredible. Loved being able to perform ‘Never too Much’ with you even at the last minute. You truly are the perfect band to get a party started but not so good at getting it finished!! We wanted you to play for another 3 hours! Hahah! Loved it so much, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my special day the most incredible evening. Feedback from all of the guests has been amazing and I have passed along details so hope you get more bookings! You deserve it!

Simon & Kerry, wedding 
I wanted to write and express our thanks and gratitude for the your performance at our wedding on 9th March. When we started looking for a band to perform at our wedding we looked at so many different websites and pages, listened to so many audio clip…but we kept being drawn back to Soulshine Band. I’m so glad we were as we could not have wished for anything better, you literally exceeded our expectations in every area possible. When we saw you all turn up we knew we’d made the right choice as you looked stunning, but then a little later Kerry and I were outside with the photographer and we could hear you sound checking – the photographer turned round and said that he could see/hear where we’d invested in the wedding! He hears a lot of bands, as you can imagine, and from that one sound check he said that he could tell you were worth the money we’d spent! Thank you so much for being as accommodating as you were with the set up arrangements. The talent that you all possess as musicians/vocalists is incredible. I’m sure you know when you’ve ‘got’ the room at any performance, but I can’t remember seeing a point when the dancefloor was less than full. That has to be the ultimate accolade. The same also goes for the DJ as he more than kept things ticking over and the crowd hot whilst you were on a break and then finished the night off perfectly – I don’t think he wanted to stop! I honestly cannot thank you enough James, and ask that you pass our thanks on to the other band members. I don’t think I was able to get to you on the night to say thank you, and for that I apologise, but I am genuinely speechless as to what a good night we had. It was the perfect celebration of our day – thank you.

Will and Luke, wedding
Soulshine Band played at our wedding in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. They had two sensational vocalists who filled the dance floor the whole night long, carrying off an amazing repertoire of funk, soul, disco and some contemporary chart pieces. The band’s leader James was endlessly helpful and patient in the lead-up to our big day and no request for too big. The DJ (Russell) curated three brilliant sets when the band wasn’t playing and really helped us decide on song choices in the weeks leading up to the event. We couldn’t have been happier with them and would highly recommend!

Steve and Andrea, wedding
Simply amazing!
Soulshine band were recommended to us and we were so glad we decided to book them for our wedding. They were outstanding. From the first dance till midnight they kept our guests on the dance floor playing a brilliant selection of new and classic music. We had the full10 piece band so if you aren’t sure – go for it – the sound was incredible, the energy and enthusiasm from the band was palpable and it completely made our reception the memorable event that it was. We can’t thank them enough.

Nick and Katie, wedding
Hi James, I just getting in touch with you to say a massive thank you to you and your band for performing our wedding. You guys are extremely talented and you totally made our evening. Also, thanks for learning and performing our first dance, the music was spot on and your singer was on point. I’m so pleased we decided to choose you to perform for our special day, it wouldn’t have been the same without you. All of our guests asked on how and where I found you and how impressed they were with the quality of music. You guys are the best – THANK YOH SO MUCH! Much love Nick & Katie

Chloe and Ian, wedding
Hello James, We are back from our honeymoon and just wanted to send you a note to say a HUGE thank you to you and the band for an INCREDIBLE PARTY last week! We had so many comments about how amazing you guys were – beyond our expectations! You guys know how to bring the party! Your help in the lead-up and with the ceremony music and letting the guys use the sound system afterwards was just amazing and really helped the day to run perfectly. We have had so many people tell us they have been singing ‘High’ all week and we have been too – thank you so much! And finally, thank you to Phil and for the great surprise! It really made the evening

Hayley, wedding
THE BEST NIGHT EVER!!!!! From the communication, our first dance, two amazing one hour sets and having so much energy which reflected our wedding party – the Soulshine Band were insane. I didn’t leave the dance floor once when they were playing and I got so many compliments about the band and asking where we found you!!! I hope to have you again at my 30th!

Mr & Mrs Lawrence, wedding
Hi Rick Martyn and I wanted to drop you a quick note to say a HUGE thank you for this weekend. You were AMAZING. Thank you so much. Everyone had a ball and so much of that was down to you guys. Thanks again, it was a truly magical day. Mr & Mrs Lawrence x

Khaliq & Jo, weddding
Soulshine Band were phenomenal!! They provided us with the fantastic entertainment that we had wished for our wedding evening. We found the band to be extremely professional in organising and setting up for our night. The night was perfect with a lot of great songs performed, the band were all fantastic quality musicians, both singers were amazing and kept the crowd grooving and dancing. We all had a lot of fun! Thank you Soulshine for a wonderful night. Khaliq and Jo

Claire Lineham, private party
The band were absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They interacted with the guests and made the evening. We’ve had lots of guests commenting on how good they were. 5+ stars!

Gareth & Jess, wedding
If anyone is looking for a wedding band then we would whole-heartedly recommend the Soulshine Band. They were very professional, played a variety of the tracks we asked for, where full of energy and enthusiasm but most importantly got people up on the dancefloor. Lead female singer was fantastic and interacted with the crowd brilliantly. Everyone was raving about them post wedding and they even learnt the first dance tune as an extra – which was a great touch. Thank you for adding the extra gloss to our wedding day. Gareth and Jess.

Katie, wedding
Hi James, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Soulshine Band for performing at our wedding. You were just incredible and everyone has been raving about you ever since. We have already given your details out to a number of our friends and will continue to recommend you to anyone who needs a band. I for one never left the dance floor, and I wasn’t the only one, the dance floor was always rammed and there was a proper party atmosphere which is exactly what we wanted. Thanks also for working so well with our DJ and the team. You really helped make our night!

Rob & Naz, wedding
I just wanted to say thanks again, so much so! Everyone had sssooo much fun and in all the messages we’ve had people have made a point of saying how good the venue was AND how awesome the band were so honestly, thanks so much!! I know I said this already but given how many professional singers were in the crowd I think Naz was a little worried but even those guys said how great you were and that’s saying something!! Will definitely be recommending you guys if any of our friends are getting married any time soon!

Claire Cassalis, wedding
Hi James I just wanted to thank you and the band for a brilliant night on Friday. Everybody commented on how good you were and you definitely managed to get the “oldies” on the dance floor ; ). So thank you! I personally had a great time and enjoyed every minute of your music. My mum also commented on what lovely people you were, as well as very talented : )

Ben & Ellie, wedding
Thank you SO much for an absolutely outstanding performance at our wedding on Saturday night! You guys were incredible, from first dance to last it was just spectacular!! The musicality and professionalism of the entire band was second to none throughout the entire evening. We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding night so special. Our guests couldn’t praise you enough! Thanks again, we’ll be sure to recommend you guys to anyone looking for a top quality function band!

Lizzi & Andy, wedding
What can I say… You guys were awesome! Everyone said what a great job you did. Thank you so so so much for really making the evening. All my guests and us really loved every second. Thank you!!

Charlotte, wedding
Excellent music – not the usual cheesy wedding playlist and the best indicator of how good the Soulshine Band were is that the dance floor was packed all night! Huge thanks to all the band – we loved the performance.

Sean & Harriet, wedding
We were incredibly lucky to have Soulshine perform at our wedding. They brought so much genuine energy to the evening as well as playing three incredible sets. The dancefloor was full throughout the night and so many guests commented on how superb the band were. The mixture of songs in their set-list and consideration of our preferences fully exceeded all of our expectations and we could not recommend the band more. The band also learnt our first song “You’re gorgeous” by Babybird and performed it wonderfully – giving us some truly special memories.

Helen, wedding
Hi James, Hope you are well. I am so sorry it has taken me so long to reply – its been crazy busy ever since we came back from our honeymoon! We were absolutely delighted with the band, they were incredible! The music was something that was very important to us but we had nothing to worry about as they were outstanding and better than we could have ever imagined. They certainly got the party started and all of our guests are still commenting on how amazing they were. We will certainly be recommending them to all our family and friends whilst we look for another excuse to hire them again!

Eleanor, corporate event
Hi James, Thank you so much, everyone really loved the band and I’ve had some really brilliant feedback from lots of our guests. It was fab music and you guys helped to create a wonderful atmosphere! Everyone had a really good dance – I seem to remember the dance floor being constantly occupied. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more. You set up very quickly and quietly and then produced some brilliant music.

Tim & Lizzie, wedding
Hi James, We are very sorry it has taken so long to send this email – obviously it has been a while since our wedding… Firstly, the obvious – you and the band were absolutely awesome! Everything we knew we would get from a Soulshine performance – slamming groove, high energy, slick performance, wonderful vibes everywhere – were there in spades. You delivered the party in as spectacular a way as we knew you would, and it was just so much fun on that dance floor, so no surprise it was full all night. We are also incredibly grateful for all the ways that you went above and beyond the normal call of duty to make the music perfect for us… As well as enjoying all those songs from a personal point of view, it really created the soulful and funky atmosphere we wanted for all our guests. We couldn’t have wished for a better end to our wedding day, and with yourself, Rick, Paolo & Tom performing we felt a real personal connection that made the celebrations extra-special. It was just the best. Thank you so much once again and hope to see you soon 🙂 Tim & Lizzie xxx

Wortley Byers Law Company, corporate event
Many thanks for all your efforts in arranging Soulshine Band’s appearance. They were really good and such nice folk – very courteous and generally nice peeps. I feel guilty now sending them out on the streets to get food! ;o) We could have done with another hour of their set – the time flew by and what with running about 15 minutes behind schedule and ‘Jess’ performing, their time was all too brief. Many folk thought they were excellent. I would deffo book them again. Let them know please – thanks. Take care and have a great weekend!

Sarah & Alex, wedding
The Soulshine Band was absolutely fantastic. I really cannot praise them enough. Everyone at our wedding raved about how brilliant they were and what talented musicians and singers they are. They created a party atmosphere as soon as they started playing and we absolutely loved having them play at our wedding.

Olivia & Mike, wedding
I simply cannot praise James and his band enough! They were brilliant! Vocals were amazing and we loved how they involved the guests. There was a great choice of songs and I don’t think there was minute they were playing that the dance floor wasn’t busy! I lost count how may times a guest complimented then and asked how I’d found them – I just hope I find another excuse in the future to book them again!!

Mike, corporate event
The Soulshine band were great. They played the music we wanted with great skill and energy. The lead vocal was excellent. She has a super voice and really got the crowd going. Great fun.

Teresa & Matt, wedding
We just wanted to say how much we appreciated all your hard work to make the music at our wedding so fantastic, and the dance floor one of the best we’ve ever seen with all of our friends and family! In our guest book, on advice cards and in person, so many people have commented on how much they loved Soulshine and the great atmosphere you created. You played all the songs we wished for and we were so impressed by the talents of all the musicians in the band and how they engaged with all of our guests. We didn’t want the music to end (you may have guessed by our a cappella attempts at Don’t Stop Me Now at the end of the night!) Please pass on a big thank you to the rest of the band. We will highly recommend you and Soulshine to friends and family in the future. Thank you so much. Teresa and Matt

Pablo & Rose, wedding
Hi James, I just wanted to say thank you to you and the team for yesterday. It was so special for us to have such incredible live music at our wedding and everyone was saying how brilliant you all were. In all the excitement I’ve forgotten the name of the singer but please can you pass on that we thought she was absolutely fantastic and really lit up the party! All the best! Pablo and Rose

Zara D’Souza, wedding
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the great job you did last Saturday at our wedding. We are so pleased with everything…from the songs that you performed and the energy that you put in. You had the dancefloor packed the whole night and everyone was commenting how brilliant you are. We couldn’t have asked for more. Will definitely be recommending you to everyone.

Dave, wedding
Hey Sasha, now that we are back from our honeymoon, without wasting more time we would want to say a big thank you to your entire band and you for making our wedding day so special. Right from the very first dance to the end, you were oh so astounding. Many of our friends and families expressed how amazed they were by your performance, and how thoroughly they enjoyed and loved it. You made the evening so perfect for all of us, and I will not at all be amazed if we get loads of requests in future to share your details so that you can rock other events. Thank You once again for the super amazing time, and we never will have second thoughts on recommending you to any one who is in search of a band for any similar events.

Natasha Trendall, wedding
Great band, loads of energy, strong repertoire. Easy to deal with. All our wedding guests love them. Would highly recommend The Soulshine Band!

Lisa Webster, corporate event
Lorena and the rest of the band were amazing!!! All of our guests were up on the dancefloor, dancing the entire night. We had a fantastic time. Thank you!

Kerry & Chris, wedding
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for Saturday. You guys were so amazing, we have had so many comments from our guests. It seems the garage section went down a storm!! We couldn’t believe how versatile you were! You always know people are enjoying it when they shout ‘one more song’ at you repeatedly… I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. It was an amazing day. If you have your set list that you played that you could send to us, we’d love to have a copy. Thank you so much, and we hope we get to see you all perform again. Best wishes Kerry and Chris

Mr & Mrs Mathews, wedding
Hi James, We had a brilliant wedding day thank you and have been really enjoying not wedding planning any more! Thanks so much to you and the other band members for all your efforts – it was such a good performance! We loved all the music and have had so many comments about how brilliant the band were on night. Loved the way Lorena also came into the crowd and created a great party atmosphere. Glad the food came ok too 🙂 Let us know if you need any recommendations of course. Best wishes to Sasha and hope she is doing ok. Thanks again for a great performance. Best wishes, Helen

Vivienne & Neil, wedding
Big THANKS to you, Sasha and the band for absolutely rocking the house down. It was incredible!!! I simply couldn’t get off the dance floor . The feedback was that it was the best wedding band by far that people had ever experienced and there’s been LOTS of weddings over the years…& lots more to come. Good luck with everything and we wish you good health, continued success and a very bright future indeed… Lots of love Mr & Mrs B.

Rishi & Sophie, wedding
Huge thank you to The Soulshine Band for making our garden wedding so absolutely fantastic! The acoustic set was perfect for after the ceremony and the party sets got everyone on the dancefloor! We couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Joanne & Mike, wedding
Sorry this is belated but we have only just returned to reality from our honeymoon. I just wanted to send you and the band a huge thank you for playing at our wedding! You guys are so talented and professional. Every guest we’ve spoken to since has said how brilliant you were and our dance floor was full all night! My dad is a hard one to please when it comes to live music as its one of his passions and he was made up with you guys. We are so glad we had you there and thank you for coming to Wales for us! We will be recommending you to every bride and groom we meet. Many thanks again, Joanne and Mike.

Katie Laver, wedding
Hi Sasha and James, I just wanted to email to say a massive thank you for making our wedding evening awesome! The music was absolutely fantastic. We had so many positive comments about you guys and everyone loved dancing! My brother is a musician/composer himself and he said he was impressed and you were very tight as a band

Caroline Rogers, Corporate Event
Thanks so much to you and the rest of the band for the fantastic performance at Doc/Fest on Sunday. You were all absolutely fantastic and the feedback from all the delegates has been really positive. You definitely impressed us all.

Sara and Rav Mistry
The band were professional, reliable and most importantly exceptional performers. All our guests loved the music and had an amazing time. 3 weeks before the wedding James contacted me and we discussed at length the format of the set, first dance and general house keeping. James was very accessible and prompt to reply throughout all the pre-wedding planning. Thank you to all the band for their hard work and help making our wedding reception so special.

Gill Bennett, wedding
Soul Shine were totally fantastic at my son’s wedding! They threw themselves into their performance and judged the audience and the mood perfectly. The quality of their music and voices were amazing and they were obviously enjoying themselves. They were a pleasure to deal with, both on the night and prior to the wedding. They were extremely professional and relaxed, which was the perfect combination. Everyone there commented on how good they were and I have no hesitation in highly recommending them. Absolutely brilliant!

Sally & Lee, wedding
Just wanted to say a very big thank you to you and the band for Saturday night. We had a fab time and all our family and friends commented on how good, professional and energetic you all were. I know quite a few of them will be turning 50 soon so hopefully they will book you so we can see you all perform again and especially with Sasha when she has made a full recovery. Hope the op goes well in January and Sasha will be back on her feet before too long! We are so pleased we chose the Soulshine Band and wish you all the best! Kind regards, Sally & Lee

Stephanie & Chris, wedding
Amazing, fantastic, great value for money all you need to know when you are booking them for a special day!

Charlotte & Paul, wedding
I just wanted to send you a message and thank you for the amazing set you did for Paul and I, it was amazing!! All my guests loved you guys and have raved endlessly about how much fun it was. My only regret is that I didn’t get to spend all night on the dance floor!!….. I am sure you both understand that you have to spend a lot of time going from guest to guest. We would both love to come and hear you playing again, so if you have any up and coming gigs we would love to know the dates. Thanks again for making our day so special. All our love Charlotte and Paul.

Mat & Suzie, wedding
We both wanted to say a huge thank you to your whole band. Everyone agreed hands down the best wedding band ever. Even the head of the venue has told us this! Compliments all round. Your job of keeping everyone on the dance floor was certainly achieved!

Simona & Rob, wedding
Eltham Don’t know if Rob got to message you yet, but just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for everything. Wow wow wow….what a voice! And what a performance! We were so happy we chose you to be at our wedding. You gave out sooo much energy. ..Rob was saying…and I believe that is the case…whether you would have had 200 people to entertain or just 20 you still put all your heart into it. Thank you so much 🙂 You were so much fun! And I have to say we were shocked to see “non-dancer” friends dancing on the dance floor… Including my mom who has never danced before!! Your music was amazing We hope to see you again in the future and will recommend you to all our friends Xxx

Ken & Suzanne, wedding
We both wanted to say thank you so much to yourself and the rest of the band for making our wedding so special. Everyone thought you were fabulous and so many people commented on what a great show you put on, it was the highlight of the night. I thought wearing a mobile mic and getting out amongst the dancefloor was great idea. Your energy was amazing and you really got everyone up dancing which was fantastic. We are keen concert goers and see lots of live bands so we easily recognised what a tight and professional band Soulshine are. Also thank you so much for coming to the rescue when our other act’s keyboard wouldn’t work, that was very kind of you. Please pass on our thoughts and thanks to the rest of the band. Thanks again and good luck for the future, I’m sure you will do really well.

John & Sophie, wedding
Now that Sophie and I are back from our honeymoon, we’d like to say a huge thank you to you and the band for your amazing performance at the wedding. Everyone was raving about you once you’d finished and we wish we could have had you playing all night! The live music really brought the party to life and was a perfect accompaniment to the weather. We have had a lot of people ask us how we found out about you and we will whole-heartedly recommend you to anyone in search of a band. I hope you had a fantastic time celebrating your own wedding and wish you all the best for the future! Many thanks again for making the day so special. John and Sophie

Fiona, wedding
Soulshine joined us for our perfect wedding day in at Elmore court. This was the part of the day which we hoped would add a real wow factor to our wedding. We were not disappointed! The band played three flawless sets, with Sasha and the band getting the dance floor moving and really entertaining the guests. The band were fun and energetic and we were able to chose a number of our favourite tunes to boogie the night away to. On a personal note the band were extremely accommodating learning our first dance song – making that moment unforgettable. If you want to have a brilliant party, this is the band to choose! Thanks so much from the new Vandenbergh-Harwood’s!

Emma & Zee, wedding
Zee and I would like to thank you and the band for such a fab night at our wedding party – we had the best time and all our guests keep saying how much they enjoyed the music and the variety of it. You were excellent at being able to answer all my questions beforehand and on the night were more than outstanding. You got the crowd going, your energy was amazing, and the interaction with us was just right. Can’t wait to party with you all again. Emma and Zee xxx

Luisa & Max, wedding
Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for Saturday night, you guys were amazing everybody was asking where i found such an amazing band.  Everyone had nothing but fantastic things to say about you.  Thanks again for getting everyone up and dancing and making our evening so special.   Luisa and Max

Rachel, wedding
My husband and I are soooo glad that we chose the Soulshine to be our evening entertainment at our wedding. They sang our first dance song amazingly making it a truly special memory. We had so many compliments from our guests about the band, how they sang a great range of songs that got everyone on the dance floor. Sasha was great interacting with all of us on the dance floor, everyone loved how she came out for a boogie. Thank you so much for helping to create a truly amazing party atmosphere.

Tristan, wedding
The Soulshine Band were amazing, and they made the evening the incredible party that it was! They brought a great, lively atmosphere, with Sasha singing and dancing through the dancefloor, getting everyone involved. The music was fantastic, Sasha’s amazing voice being backed up by an awesome band. All our guests loved it and some want to use the Soulshine Band in the future! Worth every penny, and more..!! Cannot thank them enough!!

Anthony, corporate event
As for the band, 5 stars is not enough!! Excellent vocals and energy. Really kept our guests entertained with a varied playlist and great interaction. Punctual, professional and accommodating as we were a bit late and just a wonderful performance. We would definitely recommend this band for fun loving soul shaking funky people. Many many thanks for being awesome!!! 

Sophie & Chris, wedding
Dear Sasha and the band, Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for your role in our amazing wedding last weekend. More people than I can count told me that it was the best band they had ever seen at a wedding. All generations had a blast dancing along to the tunes, which is something we really wanted to achieve. Also, thanks so much for being patient and letting us go over time a little at the end. People were just having such a good time (mainly because the band music had been so happy-making) that no one was in any mood to stop. The sign of a great party! We ended up dancing round the camp fire in the field till the wee hours of the morning. Chris and I just got back from our mini-moon in Brighton – I haven’t managed to speak to my parents yet to check the payment went through fine so just let me know. Once again, thanks a million and I will be singing your praises whenever the topic of wedding bands come up with people in the future! Love Sophie and Chris x

I would just like to thank you and your band for providing us with great music on Saturday night. The way you started with the slower songs worked perfectly too.I have had so many comments of praise for the band. I have never seen our guys dance so much.Sasha has an incredible voice and is a great performer. She Interacted with the crowd so well and I even ended up dancing a lot, which made my wife happy as that’s rare.The band have a great grooving sound and I hope we have another large event someday so we can book you again.

I just wanted to thank you and the other band members for a fantastic performance at our wedding at Bishopsdrow House on the 11th May. You guys brought great energy, a fantastic sound and helped us have a really strong focal point in our evening reception. Thanks for being so easy to work with – we loved your renditions of our requested songs (Rat in the Kitchen was particularly fun) and by the comments we have had, several of our guests would hope to book you in the future

Just quickly wanted to thank you again for making our wedding party so amazing!!!! You are a brilliant band and we were quite frankly blown away..

Thanks also for being so flexible and letting Irene sing the first song too.. 🙂

I just wanted to write and thank you again for helping to make yesterday evening such a success. I was really impressed after seeing you in London and knew that you would be the perfect fit for our company. I wanted a band that the was current and could get everybody dancing; and you certainly did! Sorry if some of the staff got a bit rowdy towards the end! Everyone thought you guys were amazing and can’t stop talking about it! I hope to be able to invite you back again soon!

Soulshine were fantastic at out wedding and I cannot recommend them highly enough. The process of booking was easy and straightforward. The band were accommodating and learnt some new songs for us. They were punctual and really just set themselves up and got on with raising the roof! A real focal point of the evening for our special day. I think they are going to get several bookings from guests at our wedding who loved their energy, range and ability to fill our dance floor. Well done guys and be assured if you book Soulshine for your occasion expect to have a fantastic time!

Caroline Barnett, corporate event
We had such a brilliant time last night and the band completely hit the spot. The lounge music during dinner set the mood perfectly, and the party afterwards was amazing! it was great to see so many people dancing – even the older ones! The only sadness was having to bring it all to an end! We’ll definitely be hiring you again next year!
