“Just wanted to email to say thank you to Certified Soul for the amazing performance! They sounded fantastic and our guests absolutely loved them! David came to meet us beforehand and was very accommodating & friendly.”
Lizzie - Wedding, London“Just wanted to thank you SO much for everything you guys did last week. The band were EPIC and everyone had such a great time. So many guests commentated on how great the band were, and you did exactly what we were after and got everyone on their feet! I hope you all enjoyed it too! You guys were a pleasure to deal with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you! I've already had some of our guests ask for your details so fingers crossed I'll be seeing you guys again!”
Grace - Christmas Party, London“Communication in the run-up to the big day was responsive, friendly and prompt and left us with confidence that all would go smoothly. As for the band, they were incredible. We've had so many guests say they didn't expect to see such a talented and high-quality function band. All the musicians stood out on their own but when combined created the perfect party band that kept the dance floor full all night long. To top that off, every band member was super friendly and genuinely seemed happy to be there. We've already recommended Certified Soul to friends and family and will be sure to book them again in the future. Thanks again to the team/band for helping to make our wedding day so special!”
Sam - Wedding, London“The band were absolutely fantastic and ensured everything went without a hitch and were so attentive and accommodating. We have had excellent feedback from all those who attended who all said how great the band were, they kept everybody dancing until the early hours.”
Sarah - Christmas Party, London“The band exceeded our expectations in every way! They really made our wedding turn into the party we wanted it to be, got everyone dancing and created the perfect atmosphere. The whole team were very professional throughout the organisation process and made sure we had nothing to worry about.”
Chris & Hazel - Wedding, London“Thank you for playing at our wedding! All of our friends were blown away by how good you were. You really made the party happen in the evening and certainly made it a night to remember.”
Ben & Alice - Wedding, LondonAbsolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an incredible live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest classic and current chart hits, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire and we can work these into our set list if given 6 weeks’ notice. You can also send up to 40 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
Yes - we can perform a 1 x 60 minute lounge set as an add-on, which is perfect for during drinks or dinner. The line-up for this add-on is flexible and can offer a duo or trio to suit your event.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 40 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Yes – all included in the price and we also travel with a professional sound engineer. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price range covers our 6 to 8-piece line-up options performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Wallington, South London. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have two weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some pretty small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 3m x 5m.
4 x 13-amp sockets is fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members and sound engineer or a £20 pp rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band. We do have some residency dates with smaller line ups in London that you are welcome to attend - please keep an eye on our social media pages for more details, or make an enquiry through Tailored Entertainment.
For a friendly chat about your live music requirements, please give us a call, email or message via the contact form and we'll be back to you shortly. Our team of entertainment experts are ready to help and will be delighted to hear from you.
