“The band were absolutely incredible and we were so impressed, they really made our wedding evening so special. So many people commented on how amazing they were during and after the day and we are so happy, they created lots of unforgettable moments for us. The 60-min trio at the welcome drinks was also brilliant and created a great atmosphere! We would 100% recommend to anyone. Please kindly pass on this review to the very talented OJ’s Soul Band! Also a big thank you to Lian from Tailored for the great communication before the event!”

“I have to tell you that OJ’s Soul Band were absolutely outstanding. They are the best band I have ever seen at a function without doubt. I have been inundated with requests from my friends asking who that band was!!! My 86-year-old uncle told me it was probably the best party he had ever been to and he had never seen such an amazing band at a party. Truly, the band were amazing. The variety of the singers was superb too. I would like to think that the band really enjoyed the gig and playing to the guests. There was dancing on the floor the minute they started right through to the end. We didn’t want them to finish. The singers walked into the crowd on the dance floor and sang, it was amazing. I will definitely book them again for the next party!! Please pass my sincere thanks to the whole team including the sound crew.”

“OJ's Soul Band was everything we could have dreamed of, we were completely blown away as a business all our staff and their families had the most amazing summer festival. The band absolutely nailed it, they are by the far the most talented group of people we have had the pleasure of entertaining us. The voices and talent wow wow wow!!! The energy and stage presence was outstanding - this band is world class! The sound and lighting turned up in plenty of time with Craig and Birty at the helm just overseeing everything, so polite and professional, then the band for sound check - not only do they sound amazing they look incredible too. The set list was fantastic, we were all dancing, young and old just living our best lives. Vocalists Amir and Ashaine were flawless, energy was big! The beautiful band, incredible talent and glory never missing a beat! We all wish we could be at their gigs every day!!! Can't wait to have you back next year!!! Thank you!!!”

“I just wanted to write to let you know that OJ's Soul Band were truly incredible and beyond all expectations at our wedding at Pynes House. The quality and energy of the singers and musicians was unbelievable. They also looked amazing and it felt like we were at our own professional concert! The band were so amazing at responding to the vibe in the room and we absolutely loved when the male singer did an Eminem mash up at the end of the night. They also brilliantly responded to our first dance (we came in late by accident so they restarted). We could not have asked for a more perfect evening of music. I would also like to thank Toni and Aaron for exceptional customer service throughout the booking process. Both answered numerous questions and accommodated changing requests and plans, communicated clearly throughout and it was probably the most friendly customer service we have ever received.”

“Wow what an amazing evening. The band were absolutely brilliant. I've never seen so many people on a dance floor at a wedding before! We were a bit worried that as it was such a warm day, most people would stay outside, but I think the magic of live music just drew everybody to the band. You have some seriously talented musicians and vocalists there, and every song was performed flawlessly. Even our special request song was absolutely spot on. We had so many positive comments from the guests - everyone said how brilliant the band were. Finally, thanks Aaron for all your work in the lead up to our wedding making sure every detail was taken care of.”

“OJ’s were simply incredible. We knew they would be good, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. Their song choices were amazing, they knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dance floor, which considering the heat in the barn - was some task! Mark struck up a great friendship with the lead male singer when they realised they were fellow Arsenal fans, which led to a rendition of one of the Arsenal chants. The icing on the cake was how friendly they all were, the drummer came and introduced himself to us beforehand and was so lovely. From the first dance to the final song, everything was perfect. Thank you again.”

We originally went for the 6-piece band but extended this to an 8-piece in the end and are so happy we did with the trumpet and saxophone taking the performance to another level. Every member of the band was amazing and the two singers were exceptional! The band were really friendly when we chatted to them in the breakout room and were very accommodating of our slightly delayed timings to the day. The female vocalist even helped the bride with tips on how to take her contact lenses out at the end of the night which was super helpful.

the saxophone and the trumpet are definitely additions that are invaluable - you can’t put a price of how important they are and how they gave the whole performance another dimension.

Both leads singers were incredible with outstanding range in their voices- having a male and female gives the performance another edge too and mixes it up
I would recommend them to absolutely everyone. They are awesome

“OJ Soul band live music sound even better then the music they put online. There vocals and songs were perfect for our wedding evening and made everyone get up and dance the night away. Special note to the 2 vocalists who sounds incredible and were as good (if not better) then other live acts we have seen before. They also well supported by wife's brother in playing our first dance which we very well received. If you're looking for a high quality band to get everyone rocking and rolling then this is a perfect choice. Would without doubt use them again or recommend them to others.”

The band work so well together and had everyone up on the dance floor from start to the end of the night. They sang our first dance song ""my girl"" which was so special. The sax player came down onto the dance floor at one point as well which was brilliant! Reece singing somebody elses guy was just the highlight! Love her! Loved the band. James the DJ was lovely as well and worked around us. We're already thinking of another celebration just so we can book them again. If you're considering booking this band - just do it! Every guest said it was the best wedding they've every been to. Worth every penny! Thank you all for making our wedding so special and for being so patient that we were running so behind

“The two main compliments we got regarding our wedding was for the venue and OJ’s Soul Band. The best compliment we heard for the band was from a close friend who said that she wouldn’t hesitate to pay to see the band if they were gigging!

Music plays an important part in our lives and we knew we wanted a band at our wedding that were guaranteed to put on a show. We never saw OJ’s Soul Band before we hired them, we were impressed enough with the videos we watched online and the huge amount of positive testimonials they had!

We cannot stress it enough, OJ’s Soul Band are more than just a wedding band!

Each of the band members (we had eight of them - we just had to have the horn section to best showcase the soul and Motown hits!) were impeccable musicians but also brilliant entertainers. During certain hits, some members even got off the stage and mingled with the guests dancing, never missing a beat or playing/singing a note out of key (the vocalists were astounding!)! Honestly, some of the highlights of the band’s sets were having them get in a circle with our wedding guests to perform a rollicking and immersive version of Proud Mary (it was epic!) and the saxophonist dancing with the bride!

They were really so professional! We asked them to come in earlier in the day to setup and soundcheck as we didn’t want our drinks reception to be disturbed. You would never have known they were there! Their set up and soundcheck (which probably lasted for about ten minutes) barely made an impact on the reception or guests, and you would never know they had a brief soundcheck when they were playing their sets! Their two sets (of 60 mins each!) were so entertaining!

If you want a band to make a huge impact on your wedding day (or any event really), and create something that the guests won’t forget any time soon, hire OJ’s Soul Band! Immediately! Best decision we ever made…other than saying “I do”!”

“I can honestly say the band were absolutely outstanding. Utterly fantastic and I really can’t sing their praises enough. I feel awful in the fact I barely even said hello to them on the night- the whole evening went by in such a blur and I felt I was being pulled in every direction under the sun, but I wish I’d taken a moment to tell them that myself. Please please do forward this on to them as I want them to know how thankful we are.
I didn’t see them arrive but they kindly set up so swiftly and accommodated my fairly last minute request to play a song as we walked in with no questions asked. Our first dance was so much fun and they were fantastic at it- so cool and relaxed and professional, which made me in turn feel so relaxed dancing to it! Every song they performed thereafter was such a hit- countless people have said how phenomenal they were and it was a consistently full dance floor all night which is no mean feat! Every band member played their part to perfection.
So, please do pass on my thanks- they really were outstanding and I will recommend them in a heartbeat to everyone and anyone who asks. I had the most wonderful wedding imaginable and they really played a huge part in helping it to be such a success.
And last but not least, an equally huge thank you to you both. The entire process was made so smooth and reassuring by your lovely, helpful and informative emails. As I would the band, I would equally recommend Tailored Entertainment to all who ask and that is all thanks to you both. I couldn’t be more grateful for all your help these past few months and found the booking process so staightforward and easy to use - a blessing when juggling so many elements of a wedding. Really, thank you.
So, thank you very very much again - it was all fantastic and just wish we could do it all over again!”

The band were tight, sounded fantastic and prompt with their timekeeping. Many people asked for details which I happily passed along - expect further business. Would not hesitate to recommend.
DJ set was also great and designed as requested - much appreciated.

We hope to have an opportunity to hire again.

“OJ'S SOUL BAND WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
whilst researching other bands I kept being drawn back to OJ's, appreciative that 4 musicians ad 2 vocalists would always be much better than just a three piece.
They didnt disappoint, from first dance till last number every tune was spot on, within minutes people were coming up to me saying this is brilliant,they are so cool, best band I've ever heard. The bride n groom both being 47 meant our guests were probably older than the average wedding but that didnt stop the dance floor being packed all the time. We are so happy we chose them.”

“WOW! If you are looking for a wedding band, look no further. OJ's Soul Band are incredible.
My husband and a lot of his friends are musicians and so the wedding band was a really important decision for us. We knew we wanted soul music and he was dead set on having a horn section. We hired OJ's 8 piece band and they did not disappoint. We had choreographed a short routine to a medley of three songs and the band learnt and played it perfectly. The dance floor was never empty and so many of our guests commented on how fabulous they were. To top the night off some of the band played the final song from the balcony and then came onto the dance floor in amongst the crowd, our guests were thrilled.

“I do not even know where to start or how to express how much we loved OJ's Soul Band. We chose the 8 piece version of the band and we could not have been happier with our choice. The brass really made it and teamed with the other wonderful and very talented musicians and singers this was just the best choice we made for our wedding. We have lost count of the guests who have come to us since to say 'best band ever seen at a wedding'. They were just fantastic and exactly what we had hoped for. From the minute they arrived (completely on time and organised) they were a pleasure. The fantastic saxophonist came to say hello and instantly made me feel excited for them to get started. They included the songs we wanted in the set and performed our first dance perfectly. I could not bare to leave the dance floor when they were playing because it was such amazing music. Everyone loved it and I still cannot believe how good it was! I don't know how to thank you all enough for giving us the most amazing memories of dancing the night away. The last song when the band came out onto the dance floor and danced with us was just the most amazing moment and something we will never forget. I think it was one of our top moments of the day. Thank you also for playing the playlist we had provided during the interval of the band and up until the curfew. It was 10/10 the best band ever and I will be recommending to everyone and anyone I can. Thank you also for the organised build up and correspondence. I cannot fault anything about this service, thank you so much. We did lots of filming of our wedding and have some pretty cool clips of the band and our guests having the best time.

All our favourite requests were played, and our first dance was excellent (bar the dancing part!). Thank you so much - and if you're thinking of booking OJ's - do it! You won't regret it! Love Mr and Mrs Naish! xxx”

“OJ's Soul Band were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
I won't ever be able to express enough how glad we were that we picked them. They are such a good group of people, the lead guy James was really friendly, they were professional, the lead singer was so bubbly, my mother actually went up to her and said the only person smiling more than me was her!". They were all great and the music was amazing. Everyone enjoyed it so so much and not a single person hasn't commented how great the music was.
My mother has also become a side salesman for them lol, telling everyone she knows a great band if anyone needs one, and I am already trying to work out what sort of wedding reunion I can have so I can have them perform again!
They really were absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have been more impressed or more happy with everything. We were nervous having not been able to see them live, but we really had absolutely nothing to worry about. They completely made the evening. They were my favourite part of the wedding - hand's down.
Please do pass on our gratitude to them.
Thank you again!”

From the moment they started, the party just took off onto another level. They make a fabulous sound. They took the roof off. Everyone was up on that dance floor having a ball. My friends loved them, as did my parents, who are in their 70s and 80s.
On top of everything else, they seemed really lovely people.

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious 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 soul and motown classics and current chart hits too, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

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, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 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.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) 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.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can provide a 1 x 60 minute live lounge-style trio set (female & male vocals, accompanied by piano) or a 60 minute solo piano set, as add-ons, which are perfect for during drinks or dinner.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the difference between the ‘unmanned pre-mixed playlist’ that comes with the standard package and the 'manned playlist service' which is an optional extra?

The unmanned pre-mixed playlist is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 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 manned playlist service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member reading the room, selecting 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.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price range covers our 6-piece off peak price to our 11-piece peak price, performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Guildford. 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.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

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.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

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.

So many people commented on how amazing they were during and after the day and we are so happy, they created lots of unforgettable moments for us. The 60-min trio at the welcome drinks was also brilliant and created a great atmosphere! We would 100% recommend to anyone. Please kindly pass on this review to the very talented OJ’s Soul Band!

“I have to tell you that OJ’s Soul Band were absolutely outstanding. They are the best band I have ever seen at a function without doubt. I have been inundated with requests from my friends asking who that band was!!! My 86-year-old uncle told me it was probably the best party he had ever been to and he had never seen such an amazing band at a party. Truly, the band were amazing. The variety of the singers was superb too. I would like to think that the band really enjoyed the gig and playing to the guests. There was dancing on the floor the minute they started right through to the end. We didn’t want them to finish. The singers walked into the crowd on the dance floor and sang, it was amazing. I will definitely book them again for the next party!! Please pass my sincere thanks to the whole team including the sound crew.”

“OJ's Soul Band was everything we could have dreamed of, we were completely blown away as a business all our staff and their families had the most amazing summer festival. The band absolutely nailed it, they are by the far the most talented group of people we have had the pleasure of entertaining us. The voices and talent wow wow wow!!! The energy and stage presence was outstanding - this band is world class! The sound and lighting turned up in plenty of time with Craig and Birty at the helm just overseeing everything, so polite and professional, then the band for sound check - not only do they sound amazing they look incredible too. The set list was fantastic, we were all dancing, young and old just living our best lives. Vocalists Amir and Ashaine were flawless, energy was big! The beautiful band, incredible talent and glory never missing a beat! We all wish we could be at their gigs every day!!! Can't wait to have you back next year!!! Thank you!!!”

“I just wanted to write to let you know that OJ's Soul Band were truly incredible and beyond all expectations at our wedding at Pynes House. The quality and energy of the singers and musicians was unbelievable. They also looked amazing and it felt like we were at our own professional concert! The band were so amazing at responding to the vibe in the room and we absolutely loved when the male singer did an Eminem mash up at the end of the night. They also brilliantly responded to our first dance (we came in late by accident so they restarted). We could not have asked for a more perfect evening of music. I would also like to thank Toni and Aaron for exceptional customer service throughout the booking process. Both answered numerous questions and accommodated changing requests and plans, communicated clearly throughout and it was probably the most friendly customer service we have ever received.”

We were a bit worried that as it was such a warm day, most people would stay outside, but I think the magic of live music just drew everybody to the band. You have some seriously talented musicians and vocalists there, and every song was performed flawlessly. Even our special request song was absolutely spot on. We had so many positive comments from the guests - everyone said how brilliant the band were. Finally, thanks Aaron for all your work in the lead up to our wedding making sure every detail was taken care of.”

“OJ’s were simply incredible. We knew they would be good, but they exceeded our expectations in every way. Their song choices were amazing, they knew exactly what to play to get everyone on the dance floor, which considering the heat in the barn - was some task! Mark struck up a great friendship with the lead male singer when they realised they were fellow Arsenal fans, which led to a rendition of one of the Arsenal chants. The icing on the cake was how friendly they all were, the drummer came and introduced himself to us beforehand and was so lovely. From the first dance to the final song, everything was perfect.

It was a difficult build up to the wedding with COVID-19 affecting our plans but the regular communication with the band assured us that they were keen to play and be a part of our special day. This reassurance and brilliant customer service throughout the whole process was hugely appreciated at uncertain times. Also I’d just like to make a special mention to the saxophonist on the night who dealt with me re timings; she was lovely and her saxophone playing was incredible - my favourite instrument.”

“OH MY GOD

They were unbelievable. OJ's Soul Band made the evening of my wedding! They got the guests all up on the dance floor, everyone had an amazing time dancing and their performance was flawless...
the saxophone and the trumpet are definitely additions that are invaluable - you can’t put a price of how important they are and how they gave the whole performance another dimension.

Both leads singers were incredible with outstanding range in their voices- having a male and female gives the performance another edge too and mixes it up
I would recommend them to absolutely everyone. They are awesome

Special note to the 2 vocalists who sounds incredible and were as good (if not better) then other live acts we have seen before. They also well supported by wife's brother in playing our first dance which we very well received.

The sax player came down onto the dance floor at one point as well which was brilliant! Reece singing somebody elses guy was just the highlight! Love her! Loved the band. James the DJ was lovely as well and worked around us. We're already thinking of another celebration just so we can book them again. If you're considering booking this band - just do it!

“The two main compliments we got regarding our wedding was for the venue and OJ’s Soul Band. The best compliment we heard for the band was from a close friend who said that she wouldn’t hesitate to pay to see the band if they were gigging!

Music plays an important part in our lives and we knew we wanted a band at our wedding that were guaranteed to put on a show. We never saw OJ’s Soul Band before we hired them, we were impressed enough with the videos we watched online and the huge amount of positive testimonials they had!

We cannot stress it enough, OJ’s Soul Band are more than just a wedding band!

Each of the band members (we had eight of them - we just had to have the horn section to best showcase the soul and Motown hits!) were impeccable musicians but also brilliant entertainers. During certain hits, some members even got off the stage and mingled with the guests dancing, never missing a beat or playing/singing a note out of key (the vocalists were astounding!)! Honestly, some of the highlights of the band’s sets were having them get in a circle with our wedding guests to perform a rollicking and immersive version of Proud Mary (it was epic!) and the saxophonist dancing with the bride!

They were really so professional! We asked them to come in earlier in the day to setup and soundcheck as we didn’t want our drinks reception to be disturbed. You would never have known they were there! Their set up and soundcheck (which probably lasted for about ten minutes) barely made an impact on the reception or guests, and you would never know they had a brief soundcheck when they were playing their sets! Their two sets (of 60 mins each!) were so entertaining!

If you want a band to make a huge impact on your wedding day (or any event really), and create something that the guests won’t forget any time soon, hire OJ’s Soul Band! Immediately! Best decision we ever made…other than saying “I do”!”

“I can honestly say the band were absolutely outstanding. Utterly fantastic and I really can’t sing their praises enough. I feel awful in the fact I barely even said hello to them on the night- the whole evening went by in such a blur and I felt I was being pulled in every direction under the sun, but I wish I’d taken a moment to tell them that myself. Please please do forward this on to them as I want them to know how thankful we are.
I didn’t see them arrive but they kindly set up so swiftly and accommodated my fairly last minute request to play a song as we walked in with no questions asked. Our first dance was so much fun and they were fantastic at it- so cool and relaxed and professional, which made me in turn feel so relaxed dancing to it! Every song they performed thereafter was such a hit- countless people have said how phenomenal they were and it was a consistently full dance floor all night which is no mean feat! Every band member played their part to perfection.
So, please do pass on my thanks- they really were outstanding and I will recommend them in a heartbeat to everyone and anyone who asks. I had the most wonderful wedding imaginable and they really played a huge part in helping it to be such a success.
And last but not least, an equally huge thank you to you both. The entire process was made so smooth and reassuring by your lovely, helpful and informative emails. As I would the band, I would equally recommend Tailored Entertainment to all who ask and that is all thanks to you both. I couldn’t be more grateful for all your help these past few months and found the booking process so staightforward and easy to use - a blessing when juggling so many elements of a wedding. Really, thank you.

“OJ'S SOUL BAND WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC
whilst researching other bands I kept being drawn back to OJ's, appreciative that 4 musicians ad 2 vocalists would always be much better than just a three piece.
They didnt disappoint, from first dance till last number every tune was spot on, within minutes people were coming up to me saying this is brilliant,they are so cool, best band I've ever heard. The bride n groom both being 47 meant our guests were probably older than the average wedding but that didnt stop the dance floor being packed all the time. We are so happy we chose them.”

“WOW! If you are looking for a wedding band, look no further. OJ's Soul Band are incredible.
My husband and a lot of his friends are musicians and so the wedding band was a really important decision for us. We knew we wanted soul music and he was dead set on having a horn section. We hired OJ's 8 piece band and they did not disappoint. We had choreographed a short routine to a medley of three songs and the band learnt and played it perfectly. The dance floor was never empty and so many of our guests commented on how fabulous they were. To top the night off some of the band played the final song from the balcony and then came onto the dance floor in amongst the crowd, our guests were thrilled. This is the second wedding I have been to where OJ's were playing and they were fantastic both times! Thank you so much for making our wedding party unforgettable!”

“I do not even know where to start or how to express how much we loved OJ's Soul Band. We chose the 8 piece version of the band and we could not have been happier with our choice. The brass really made it and teamed with the other wonderful and very talented musicians and singers this was just the best choice we made for our wedding. We have lost count of the guests who have come to us since to say 'best band ever seen at a wedding'. They were just fantastic and exactly what we had hoped for. From the minute they arrived (completely on time and organised) they were a pleasure. The fantastic saxophonist came to say hello and instantly made me feel excited for them to get started. They included the songs we wanted in the set and performed our first dance perfectly. I could not bare to leave the dance floor when they were playing because it was such amazing music. Everyone loved it and I still cannot believe how good it was! I don't know how to thank you all enough for giving us the most amazing memories of dancing the night away. The last song when the band came out onto the dance floor and danced with us was just the most amazing moment and something we will never forget. I think it was one of our top moments of the day. Thank you also for playing the playlist we had provided during the interval of the band and up until the curfew. It was 10/10 the best band ever and I will be recommending to everyone and anyone I can. Thank you also for the organised build up and correspondence. I cannot fault anything about this service, thank you so much. We did lots of filming of our wedding and have some pretty cool clips of the band and our guests having the best time. If you like we can send across some of them and we are happy to use them as promotion clips etc. We are just off on honeymoon so will do it in a few weeks when we are home.
Thank you, we are still buzzing.

“OJ's Soul Band were ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
I won't ever be able to express enough how glad we were that we picked them. They are such a good group of people, the lead guy James was really friendly, they were professional, the lead singer was so bubbly, my mother actually went up to her and said the only person smiling more than me was her!". They were all great and the music was amazing. Everyone enjoyed it so so much and not a single person hasn't commented how great the music was.
My mother has also become a side salesman for them lol, telling everyone she knows a great band if anyone needs one, and I am already trying to work out what sort of wedding reunion I can have so I can have them perform again!
They really were absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have been more impressed or more happy with everything. We were nervous having not been able to see them live, but we really had absolutely nothing to worry about. They completely made the evening. They were my favourite part of the wedding - hand's down.

You and your team were so professional and pleasant to work with for the party, so thank you very much. I would highly recommend you to anyone planning an event and looking for a band. I have already passed the band details onto two people from the party specifically.”

“Nick & Amy, I just wanted to drop you an email to say how unbelievably fantastic OJ’s Soul band were when they played my wedding on the 29th November. I couldn’t have wished for a better band, they played brilliantly & the singers were amazing. Every guest commented on what a fantastic party it was & that was down to them, so thank you so much. I will recommend them to anyone looking for seriously talented musicians who take a party to the next level! I just wish I could do it again. A very merry Christmas to you all. All the best.”

“Hi Amy, Just wanted to write to you to say thanks to the band. They were one of the best bands I’ve heard. Incredible! Even today I’m still having people comment on how good they were, and someone even asked for their details as they wanted to book them for their own wedding! Also I wanted to thank them for allowing me and my old band to play a couple of numbers before the second set. As a musician myself it’s always a bit of a worry but they were so lovely to let us do it and it really helped make our day even more special! If you could pass this on to them that would be great, as I would love them to hear how enjoyable they made our evening. Once again, thank you!”

“A wonderful band who had us dancing all night. Although we were a little disappointed when we found out, on the day, that the male lead singer wasn’t available – we were quickly picked up again by the band’s great manner and ability to get all the guests up and dancing all night! The girls were outstanding singers and the band were excellent musicians. A few friends have already asked for their details. Thanks again”

FAQ

I really want to have a great party with everyone on the dance floor - are you the right band for that?

Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious 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 soul and motown classics and current chart hits too, so there's certainly something for everyone.

Do you take requests?

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, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.

How long do you take to set-up?

60-90 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.

What time do you play?

At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.

How long do you play for?

We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) 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.

Can you provide music for our drinks reception?

Yes - we can provide a 1 x 60 minute live lounge-style trio set (female & male vocals, accompanied by piano) or a 60 minute solo piano set, as add-ons, which are perfect for during drinks or dinner.

Do you have your own PA and lighting?

Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.

What is the difference between the ‘unmanned pre-mixed playlist’ that comes with the standard package and the 'manned playlist service' which is an optional extra?

The unmanned pre-mixed playlist is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 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 manned playlist service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member reading the room, selecting 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.

What is the website guide price based on?

The published guide price range covers our 6-piece off peak price to our 11-piece peak price, performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Guildford. 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.

Our venue has a noise limiter, can you work with that?

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.

Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?

Yes.

Will you perform our first dance?

Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.

How much space do you require?

We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.

How much power do you require?

2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.

Do I need to provide food/drinks?

The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.

Can we see you play live before booking?

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.
