SoulSystem Orchestras has played a handful of weddings I have attended (approx 5) for very close friends and family and most recently for my own wedding. What makes SoulSystem so incredible is that each experience has been different and unique to the couple's personalities and the level of professionalism and musicianship remains at the highest level.

My wife and I had a destination wedding in upstate NY, at least a 4 hour trip for the band. This meant that the band had to arrive on Friday, so not only was the band supper accommodating to us, they even offered to play the welcome drinks after the rehearsal dinner. For a wedding of 175 people, no less than 170 of them were up on the dance floor AT THE WELCOME DRINKS!!! They completely delivered with a great set list that brought the party on the first night and then over delivered again the next night for the wedding with a completely different but outstanding sound. After the wedding, the band joined the afterparty and they couldn't have been a more fun and down to earth group and genuinely was happy to celebrate our wedding like they were our childhood friends.

When I hear of anyone hosting any sort of even that could have a band, I immediately recommend SoulSystem and give them Rob's contact information.

Soulsystem Orchestra is an exceptionally talented group of musicians and vocalists. They are highly professional. Rob Affuso is a joy to work with and a very nice guy!

As my husband says, "Soulsystem was electric." Indeed, this band rocked the house. I'd say the band was our MOST important investment for the wedding- all that really mattered to us was that we had a kick-ass band. Soulsystem delivered. Throughout the process leading up to the wedding and on day-of, Rob and his team were professional, kind, thoughtful, fun, and creative. They tailored the set list to match what we envisioned for music (as we're both from Jersey, they ended the night with a few Bruce songs, which just sent everyone into a frenzy) while also bringing their own guidance, flare and intuition to the design of the night. We had our dinner and dancing in separate rooms, and I was concerned about the smoothness of the transition from one space to the next. Two members of the band preformed a brass second-line to lead all guests into the dancing space. It was epic. We've had many guests reach out to us since the wedding, and every reflection from the wedding includes, "and that BAND. Oh my god. How/when can we see them preform again." The night would not have been everything that it was to us without this band. We are so grateful, and we cannot recommend them enough!!!!!
