Couldn't Be Happier

Philly Soul Collective made our night! Jeff has incredible energy. This is a group of very special and uplifting people, but most of all stellar musicians! They arrived early and set up very quickly fully loaded with excellent sound equipment and lightening. Jeff was very responsive on the weeks leading up to the wedding and it was a relief to hear his calm and positive voice. Also, there willingness to take requests was remarkable. Thank you to Philly Soul Collective for making our Big Day a day that we will always remember so very dearly!

Energizing, Dynamic, Enthusiastic, E- 10/10 Would Recommend!

I highly recommend Philly Soul Collective to anyone who is looking for a professional, upbeat, enthusiastic, and creative band! Jeff is extremely organized and communicative, which left me stress-free during the planning process for my wedding. Philly Soul prioritizes each client, and works very hard to create a unique, personalized set. My husband and I were blown away by the variety of music produced during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was clear that they came extremely prepared and were very excited to be part of our special day. We had an energetic crowd on the dance floor up until the last song and dance, and a lot of our guests continued to rave about the band for weeks after! I cannot thank PSC enough for helping to make our wedding a success!

Best Wedding Band!

We loved our experience with Philly Soul Collective. If you want a wedding with the guests up and dancing definitely hire them! Jeff was very accommodating, especially considering we had to change the date of our wedding due to Covid. We had so many people come up to us and say this was the best wedding band they had ever seen! All of their voices are beautiful and cover a wide range of songs (we wanted a mix of pop, classic rock-type, and Motown) with great instrumentals! We danced almost the entire time and almost all of our guests were out on the floor the whole night. We loved having them!

Oh What a Night!!

When the dance floor at your 60th birthday party is packed at 11PM, you know your band is great! Philly Soul Collective made our party exactly what we were hoping for-a high energy night of happiness, friendship and dancing!! The band’s sound is fantastic and they were incredible to work with. Jeff was professional and attentive to every detail. So many of our guests remarked on just how great the band was. Thank you, thank you for making our party so special.

This is more than a band!

This is more than a band! Their music is incredible, but they MAKE the event HAPPEN! It is as if Jeff Lite is clairvoyant. His attention to detail is impeccable. Every venue is like the bands personal function. I cannot thank them enough for being a part of our spectacular wedding recently. They were the best!

This band had the wedding rocking all night! They play everything and their sound is amazing. Jeff can really work the crowd and makes everyone feel center stage. Jeff was in touch with us often pre-wedding date to coordinate songs and timing of different reception events. I was not aware until the end of the evening that the two female singers were involved in a car accident on the way, they somehow made it on time and performed flawlessly. Philly Soul Collective will not disappoint on all grounds!!

Selecting the perfect band for The Madison’s New Years Eve Gala is critical because it sets the mood for the evening. Philly Soul Collective was an outstanding choice.
Extremely professional and elegantly dressed, they are true entertainers.
As host to 100’s of events and weddings per year, we see a wide range of entertainment.
The Madison highly endorses Philly Soul Collective. Definitely on the top of our list for a memorable affair.

Pretty much the best group in the universe. Jeff and his team are so talented and the music so fantastic that even the most boring of guests were out on the dance floor. For those who took a break from the dancing, the music was so perfect that you could just sit back, chill and smile while listening to the beat and songs. My daughter's wedding was the best day of her life for many reasons (like marrying the right person whom you love #1) but the ambiance created by these musicians was #2 for sure. Velvet voices and outstanding musical talent. Jeff delivered 100% more than what we agreed to - Philly Soul Collective is the only group I would use for any event. Large or small, Corporate, non-profit or personal celebration. The group conforms to what you want - it's not about them - it's about YOU and what will make your affair the best it can be. PLEASE feel free to reach out to me personally because it would take ten pages to fully address how much Philly Soul Collective added to my daughter's wedding celebration. And above all else, they are really caring, nice people and that makes a huge difference when planning an event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
