Wedding Reception Band!

Capital City Soul was referred to us by other wedding vendors when we did not know where to start when looking for a band! We were able to see them play at Red Stick Social before our wedding and WOW! We knew we picked the right band for our wedding day. The entire 8 piece band was amazing and Chris knew exactly how to keep the dance floor packed! They played a huge part in us having the wedding reception of our dreams!

Best Night Ever because of CCS!

I had the BEST wedding reception EVER because of Chris and Capital City Soul. Every single guest came up to me and told me how amazing the band was. Truly so much fun and so much energy! I would recommend them 1000 times over. Best decision ever!!!

Book. This. Band.

Wow. I don’t know how better to describe it other than my 72-year old mother-in-law boogied all darn night. And so did virtually every single other person at our 4-hour reception. If I’m telling the truth, Capital City Soul was the fourth band we called to host our wedding, but my wife, all of our guest, and I uniformly agree we could not have had better luck. This is perhaps one of the most impressive live event bands I’ve ever seen. Their talent is outshined only by their enthusiasm. We provided practically no guidance for the set list—asking only that they play dance music. They nailed it. At a ~55 person wedding, the dance floor was always happening.

I should note that if you’ve watched their videos on their website: their live performance blows those recordings out of the water.

Do you, your family, and your closest friends a favor and book this band. You wont regret it.

Short answer - BOOK THEM!

People are still talking about our wedding thanks to Capital City Soul. Chris was so sweet and easy to work with! They provided outdoor equipment for our ceremony which was a big help and something I didn’t initially think about when having the ceremony outdoor and reception indoor. Most venues do not have equipment for outside. Back to the important part - the singing, the energy, the song lineup was AMAZING and PERFECTION. Definitely the best night of our lives and we’re so happy we booked them!

The BEST wedding band!

Capital City Soul is the BEST! They sounded amazing and kept the party going all night! It was so much fun to watch our friends and families going to town on the dance floor! They are energetic and fun and their crowd interaction is amazing. Chris is so personable and easy to work with. We are thrilled that they were part of our special day! We can't wait to find a place to see them perform again soon!

Never left the dancefloor!!

Capital City Soul kept it rocking all night at our wedding reception! From the moment we walked in all the way to the exit - this crew knew how to keep the party going. Their great mix of genres and crowd interaction kept everyone on the dancefloor (shoutout to the horns section). Chris was so easy to communicate with and receptive to any ideas/changes we had. We are so thankful we chose them for our big day and would absolutely recommend them!

If you want to dance the night away, this is your band!

If you're looking for a night to ditch your high heels and not leave the dance floor this is the band for you! The wedding reception that I saw Capital City Soul perform at was the most fun I've had in ages! They were personable, quirky, and loved seeing their guests with their hands up, having a blast.
I was also really impressed by how many different generes they had up their sleeve.
I will be highly recommending Capital City Soul to anyone that will listen!

You looking for a good time?!!!

We heard about Capital City Soul from a friend, went see them play at Red Stick Social and booked them for our September 2022 wedding before we even had a venue, haha! My one and only request for our wedding was live music and Capital City Soul definitely delivered a fun night for all. Chris is easy to work with and made sure to make our night groovy as ever. The band even agreed to learn a special request song that my groom and I bop to on the best of nights - “You dropped a bomb on me.” Highly recommend, book now!!
