The sound is

out of this world.

Only a few people in the world can give
Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner their due. We knew we wanted a kick-ass Motown wedding band, and we got it.

Frequently Asked Questions

COMMON QUESTIONS WHEN CONSIDERING SOUL CITY Band For Your Wedding:

 

+ Do you offer smaller versions of your band?

While our signature sound is with the full 10-piece band, which we reserve for Saturday events, we do offer smaller ensembles for events held on non-Saturday dates.

+ Is a 10-piece band too big for my event?

We comfortably play at intimate events of fewer than 50 guests and arrange ourselves to suit the space. Our sound engineers are adept at managing volume and acoustics to ensure a seamless experience for all.

+ What does a standard event timeline look like?

We follow the industry standard of a four-hour reception, including dinner and dancing, which begins immediately after the conclusion of cocktail hour. If you include ceremony or cocktail hour services, these typically include one hour each, with music to match the occasion.

+ Can I select my ceremony or reception music?

Absolutely! We collaborate closely with you to craft a playlist that perfectly matches your tastes and keeps the dance floor alive, all while taking advantage of the band's diverse setlist. Feel free to share your favorite tunes with us! Our goal is to make sure your night feels uniquely yours!

+ Are you a collective?

We’re a real band! We always set out to have the same consistent musicians throughout the course of each season. Many of our members have been with us for over a decade, giving our band an unmatched chemistry that shines through in every performance.
