Testimonials

“Hi Nick, Just a quick thank you to you and the band for Saturday, they were great and everyone had a really good time so thank you for your help organising them. We’ll be in touch for next year.”Beth - Corporate Event, Great Tythe Barn, Tetbury

“Soul Unit were fantastic! We loved the band and the music they played. A number of guests commented on how good the lead singer was and all of our guests enjoyed the music - the dance floor was full all night! The band arrived promptly, set up quickly without interrupting and were ready to play as soon as we were ready. They were laid back and professional, the music was exactly what we wanted - a soulful Motown sound with a mix of some classics and modern tracks. The booking process was simple and efficient and we are so glad we chose Soul Unit to play at our wedding and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! Please pass on our thanks and appreciation to the band.”Sarah & Nick - Wedding, East Keswick Village Hall

The band were brilliant, we were very pleased! All of the guests loved them... in short they were awesome! Please send a massive thanks to all of them- we will also have some photos to share with them when they come through from the photographer.Hannah Lee - Wedding, Royal Air Force Station, Aylesbury

5/5 Where do we start!? The band were far and away the best thing about our wedding reception. So many guests complimented them. They set just the right tone throughout the night, kept people dancing, and didn't mind having a bit of fun with us (letting the groom join in with an inflatable guitar...). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Soul Unit to anyone and would definitely book them for any future events. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!Laura Moorhouse - Wedding, Leigh Sports Village, Leigh

5/5 Positive feedback from all attendees with the band and their performanceLeeds City College - Corporate Event, Leeds

Hi Phoebe,The band were amazing, we were so happy with how everything went. The song during the ceremony really added to make it really special and we got so many compliments on the band in general. They got on with setting up/packing down etc with no fuss and delivered an amazing show.Natalie De Luca - Wedding, Hargate Hall

Thankyou to the group who gave a very good performance at our daughters wedding. They were punctual, got along with their setting up and gave a lovely performance. We have had some very nice feedback about them from our guests.Rosemary & Chander Parkash - Wedding, Whinstone View Bistro, Middlesbrough

5/5 - A great bandMostyn & Kelly - Wedding, Rise Hall, East Riding of Yorkshire

The band were amazing and the dance floor was full the whole night.Christina Cooper - 60th birthday party - The Manor Golf Club

Soul Unit were fantastic last night. They performed incredible sets and made the end of the evening really special.John - Wedding, The Old Palace, Chester

We had an amazing wedding day on 24th July 2021. We were blown away by Soul Unit’s sets and amazing performances. They sounded brilliant live and were even able to play our first dance for us. All of our guests commented on how good they were and were so impressed with how they played, they managed to keep the dance floor full throughout their sets. One guest even asked for their details for any future events. The band were extremely professional and polite throughout the night and were happy to chat to our (slightly merry) guests when approached. Thank you for such a fabulous evening.Liz & Luke - Wedding, Barmbyfield Barns, York

We couldn't be happier with the performance. They were all so unbelievably talented and it made our wedding evening a real night to remember. Thank you so much for all of your help.Arran - Wedding, The Joiners Arms, Harrogate

We loved the band - they were everything and more that we could have asked for on our wedding day. We love music and I think the way you can tell if your having a good time with a good band is if your dance floor has people on it all night... Soul Unit ticked that box, our guests were up there singing along to all the tunes. Thank you so much.Joe & Gemma - Wedding, Hornington Manor, Yorkshire

Absolutely thrilled with Soul Unit's performance at our wedding - we couldn't have asked for a better band to play for us and our guests. I would also like to highlight the fact that they went above and beyond when our venue's sound system went down and we couldn't switch back after what was meant to be the band's last set. They kept the party going with their sound system until we could figure out another plan which they were under no obligation to do! Thank you so so much for this, and such a great party!!!Amy & Will - Wedding, Middleton Lodge, Yorkshire

We had a fantastic experience with the agency and act. Soul Unit were super friendly, professional and most importantly an amazing band! They were exactly what we wanted yet exceeded our expectations with the sheer quality of performance. We had lots of great feedback from out guests, who really enjoyed the performance and selection of songs. It really made our wedding extra special, especially with the option to have our first dance performed by the band. Our wedding meal overran, meaning the band started slightly later than planned, but they were happy to accommodate this which was a big help. Worth every single penny of the fee - huge huge thanks to Soul Unit for making our wedding seriously funky!! We're also really happy with the communication from Tailored in booking and pre-event, so thanks to staff for professional and clear emails answering our queries.Alex - Wedding, The Wellbeing Farm, Manchester

Soul Unit were fantastic! What a brilliant singer and talented band. They were so kind and accommodating on the day too. All the guests had a fantastic time and we had so many wonderful comments. Thank you Soul Unit!Katherine & Javal - Wedding, Wood Lane, South Yorkshire
