Brilliant Wedding Band

We recently had Kings of Soul play at our wedding and we absolutely loved them! They were brilliant and kept the dance floor alive all night long. We've had so many great comments from our guests about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had. Rob was brilliant throughout the process, taking on our song preferences and being able to craft a brilliant and personalised set list for us. The bride especially loved the Destiny Child medley!

We would highly recommend booking Kings of Soul for your wedding if you're looking for a high energy and incredibly talented band! We'd also like to give a big shout out to the amazing saxophonist and guitarist who played at our post-ceremony reception, who were happy to relocate outside when the sun came out.

Amazing band who helped make our perfect day!

We went with Kings of Soul for our wedding and they were absolutely brilliant - they learnt our first dance song for us as it wasn't in their repertoire, and even learnt an additional song for me to surprise my husband with a saxophone rendition of. They also sounded brilliant on the night and were easy to work with, super responsive to any questions we might have had, as well as a kick off call to set us up. They accommodated us completely and I can't thank them enough, nor recommend them enough for your event!

Absolutely fantastic!!!!

A must, must, must have for your wedding band. Kings of Soul are just brilliant - from all the pre wedding admin to the actual performance on the day, we can't fault them. They are such a special part of our day. So many people have since spoken to us about how amazing they were. We couldn't have asked for more.
Special shout out to all the medleys and to Pink Pony Club!!

Definitely brought the party!

We feel so fortunate to have had Kings of Soul play at our wedding! We had heard them play at a friends wedding at they were amazing so we knew we wanted them at our big day. We originally booked the band after we got engaged in 2019 for our wedding 2021 but then we got caught up in the COVID restrictions. We had to postpone again due to the bride having to have an operation and further treatment. Throughout all these postponements Rob couldn't have been more supportive or understanding. We had a couple of planning meetings to talk through music preferences and they even worked with us to create an arrangement of a song we wanted as our first dance.

On the night itself, Anna and the whole band were incredible. The bride didn't leave the dance floor! People were dancing all through the evening and having a great time. Such a fun band!

Absolutely incredible!! We danced all night long!

We had The Kings of Soul at our wedding at the end of November and the band were absolutely incredible. With non stop bangers, incredible vocals and phenomenal band, our guests were dancing the night away! Our venue had never seen a dance floor so packed. The vibe was absolutely electric and all our friends and family said it was the best band they'd ever heard. We knew they'd be fantastic but they did not disappoint. Would recommend for the best vibes on the dance floor!!

The best wedding band out there!

We were recommended Kings of Soul by our friends who got married in 2019 and they were just amazing. From start to finish, Rob was super helpful and flexible. Everyone commented on how amazing the band was and another friend has already asked for their name to use ofr their wedding!

Fantastic!

The band were fantastic and everyone has commented on how much they enjoyed the music. Rob was so speedy getting back to us and put us at ease about a few things we were anxious about and even guided us through timings on a few other aspects of the day! Can’t recommend enough

Difficult to describe how good this band is

Rob worked with me very closely on the choice of music, and judiciously combined my suggestions with a holistic set list that absolutely knocked it out of the park. The band even made and performed a new arrangement of our first dance song, Everlasting Love. They fielded a guitar and sax duo during the drinks reception which perfectly complemented the atmosphere. I was recommended this band by a professional musician whose wedding they had also played at. All the arrangements, particularly the medleys, worked incredibly well on the dance floor. Many of our guests remarked that it was the best wedding band they had ever heard. The Kings of Soul’s two sets were a whirlwind of blissful memories with all our friends and family and my wife and I can’t recommend them enough.

Totally blew us away!

The Kings of Soul gave us a truly epic wedding party! We had no idea that a wedding band could sound so good. Song selections were a perfect diverse mix and the energy was just out of this world! Rob was so great to deal with - helped us tweak the timings and flow of the day as well as guiding us on first dance ideas. The singers were just out of this world. Wish we could do it all again! Thanks very much! Highly recommended!

Incredible wedding band!

We can't thank Kings of Soul enough for absolutely smashing our wedding! The band were so helpful in the planning stages and tailored the show to our music tastes. The show was so diverse and kept all ages on the dancefloor. The medleys are so great and the musicianship on stage was so impressive. We had just the best time and our friends are still raving about the band. We couldn't recommend more highly!

So much fun!

The band were such great fun at our wedding! The show was totally unlike any other wedding band we've seen. Love those medleys and they also played a beautiful first dance for us which was really special. Truly superb musicians and so easy to work with also. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a next level wedding band!
