Best wedding band ever

Downbeat was a total dream -- everything from the mix/setlist, the band and vocal performances, and the energy and crowd interaction were perfect. The team was professional and easy towork with in the lead up to our wedding. HIGHLY recommend Downbeat for your next event!!

Downbeat Agency and SoulTones band


There aren’t enough words to express our immense gratitude to Downbeat LA and it’s talented Soul Tones band for making our wedding such a memorable and wonderful evening.
To say you are all incredibly talented would be an understatement. Your ability to infuse such a party atmosphere and create an amazing vibe is electric. All the guests were in awe of how amazing each and every one of you were and although we had used you for a past event a few years ago and were obsessed then, we were even more obsessed this time around. We are truly indebted to you for making our celebration so incredible. No one wanted the night to end.
Diego thank you for always making everything seem so easy, we are truly indebted to you all.

Hire soultones!

Wow! Where to even begin?! Joel and the entire Soultones family is beyond incredible. The level of talent is unmatched and the energy they brought to our wedding was absolutely electric. Our goal was to have all of our guests on the dancefloor and Soultones did just that. If you are looking for a live band, look no further. Throughout the entire process Joel was patient, responsive and was on board with how we envisioned our wedding night going. It was the dance party of our dreams and we will remember it forever. The amount of guests that told us it was the wedding of the century because of Soultones was countless. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Joel and team for making our wedding INCREDIBLE.

What a great company to work with. We highly recommend them for your wedding!

Downtown Beat LA is the first group we recommend for our clients who are interested in a live band for their wedding or event. Their onstage presence, sound, vocals, and energy gets everyone on the dance floor moving and singing along! They also understand the logistics and dynamics of events and are not just there to perform but to create entire experience. They were a pleasure to work with and hands down our favorite band in the industry!

Confetti Skies Confetti Skies Wedding Planners

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Downbeat LA. Our client hired their band, The SoulTones, and I couldn't have been happier with their professionalism as well as their ability to get EVERYONE on the dance floor. All of the band members and sound crew were so great to work with and very respectful. The band was amazing and I loved their energy. I also really liked how the sound engineer was constantly checking to ensure the sound was perfect. Overall, I really enjoyed working with such a talented bunch of people and I enjoyed working with Diego on the planning side. If anyone is looking for a live band, I definitely recommend them! The quality of their services is outstanding.
