Hiring a band for my wedding was a big priority and a big line item (cost) within my budget. I admittedly wasn't the easiest client in the beginning as it was difficult for me to sign my first wedding contract. Glen and his team were patient and helpful from start to finish. They are so easy and delightful to work with! As my first wedding vendor, it helped set the tone for my 10 months of planning. THANK YOU! They provide you with a long list of songs for you to give them insight on what you like vs dislike, which was helpful. They were even open to us sharing a Spotify playlist to give them an idea of what we liked for the band vs DJ set. Soulville also learned 3 songs for us, for our first dances, and performed them excellently! I hired Soulville for my wedding cocktail hour and reception. For the cocktail hour I had a Keyboard + Sax, which really helped to set the ambiance and was appreciated by all guests (lots of complements). The guests were ushed from from part of my venue to the next in part by the fun sounds of the 10 piece band. (Note: I wanted a big band, but learned Soulville is very flexible on the size you can hire.) From start to finish, the only way to get our wedding to stop dancing, was when Soulville politely asked people to be seated for events like first dances and speeches. Based on experience, I recommend hiring them for more time than less - we extended them an hour because our guests were enjoying their energy so much! Following the band, their DJ set did not disappoint! The band was full of collective and individual personality, which is part of what makes them so great. They engaged the audience from stage and on the dance floor, which we all loved. Their range was incredible - pop, country, hip hop, classics... you name it they did it, which blew away our guests! They really read the room from start to finish. They had a HUGE impact on our event. The number of texts, calls and emails from our venue, guests and wedding spectators has been overwhelming, and for GREAT reason. We will definitely refer them again and again, and hire them for any of our future needs - big or small event. I could go on and on, with how blown away we were by this group! THANK YOU AEN / SOULVILLE!!!
