Got questions about hiring a Soul & Motown band for your event? Our expert answers below will guide you through everything you need to know to book the perfect showstopping act!
Our Soul & Motown acts offer incredible flexibility, ranging from standard 5 or 6-piece party bands (vocals, keys, guitar, bass and drums) right up to spectacular 15-piece luxury soul bands. Most of our bands allow you to scale your booking by adding live horn sections (trumpet, saxophone and trombone) or additional male and female vocalists to create a classic Motown style show.
A professional, completely live soul and Motown wedding band typically starts from around £2,000. Because these line-ups feature a higher number of elite musicians on stage and carry extensive sound and lighting production to mix live brass and multiple vocalists, costs scale with the size of the band. Premium international soul acts with large horn sections and premium production can range from £5,000 to £15,000+ depending on your event specifications.
Yes, absolutely. While soul bands feature dynamic live horns and percussion, our musicians are highly experienced at managing volume thresholds. Many of our acts can adapt their setup to suit local limiter restrictions by utilising electronic drum kits and going amp-free and running their production through in-ear monitoring systems. Just share your venue details with our team and we will guide you to the best options.
Yes! You can seamlessly cover your entire wedding timeline with one booking. Most of our Soul & Motown acts offer discounted daytime packages. This allows members of the main evening band to scale down into an upbeat roaming act, a soulful acoustic lounge duo, a solo jazz pianist or a solo roaming saxophonist to provide the perfect, sophisticated backdrop for your afternoon drinks reception before the full band sets the stage on fire for the evening reception.
Every soul and Motown booking through Tailored Entertainment is a fully self-contained package. This includes 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live performance sets, your choice of first dance learned and performed live, a high-end professional PA sound system and automated lighting rig, all required Public Liability Insurance and PAT testing certificates for your venue and a free bespoke DJ service to keep the party flowing seamlessly when the band isn't on stage.
Finding the perfect Soul & Motown band is all about matching the scale and energy of your event. Whether you are hosting a black-tie corporate gala, a glamorous luxury wedding or a soulful private party, our roster features the UK's most exceptional talent.

Originally pioneered by UK record label, Hed Kandi, the trend to hire a DJ with Live add-on’s, is more popular than ever before. Blending the smooth style of instrumental Jazz with popular party beats and songs, has been a popular addition to DJ sets for all occasions.
Just the other day, we at Tailored Entertainment were discussing how often you hear one thing around the festive season. ‘Oh, I’m not that big a fan of New Years..’. It’s crazy how often people tell us this in the run up to Christmas when chatting about their seasonal plans.
