Nothing lifts a wedding party like a live wedding band. From the first moves of your first dance to the final song of the night, Soul and Motown wedding bands add something special. Smooth vocals, timeless grooves and feel-good energy that packs that dance floor and leaves smiles on all guests’ faces.
I’ve performed at hundreds of weddings and speaking to glowing newlyweds and their buzzing guests at the end of our performances as the lights go up never gets old. Soul and Motown music connects people like few other genres of music do.
Whether you want those romantic Soul classics or high-energy, boogie, boogie Motown floor-fillers, my guide will help you find the perfect live band for your special day, you and your guests!
Both styles are bursting with emotion, rhythm, epic dance moves and truly iconic songs — but they create slightly different atmospheres at a wedding and because every wedding is unique, your live Soul or Motown band should match the music you love and the atmosphere you want to create throughout your wedding, day or night. Below, I explain why and how these live bands each offer something different at a wedding.
