Truly the Best

Total Soul played for my sister's wedding a few years ago and when I got engaged last year, I knew there could only be one band playing at my wedding. Jeff was without question the best vendor that we worked with. His email responsiveness, general flexibility, and calm demeanor was a breath of fresh air when wedding planning. Even though they are based in NJ, they made the trip down to VA and absolutely brought the HEAT. They didn't ask any questions when we requested our first dance song be something off their catalogue and they absolutely nailed it. The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone continues to tell us how much they loved the band. Considering the amazing service and the incredible product, their price is MORE than reasonable. I would recommend this band to anyone!

Total Soul brought the heat!

Jeff was so wonderful to work with, quick to respond and very accommodating to our requests. Total Soul had us covered from ceremony through cocktail hour and into the late evening reception! They nailed (!!!) our first dance (Chris Stapleton), and kept the dance floor packed all night long!! They play a wide variety of music, which is great for a party that has multiple generations on the dance floor (ages 20-80)! Overall, if we got to do it again, Jeff would be our first call. Thank you Total Soul for the soundtrack to the best night of our lives!

Best Wedding Band!

I first heard Total Soul at a friend's wedding in 2016, and when I got engaged, they were first in mind when my husband and I decided to have a band wedding. From the very first email and throughout the entire process, Jeff was very responsive and answered all of the questions we had. Our wedding day was perfect! The ceremony music was beautiful, and their renditions of the songs we picked for our First Dance and parent dances were better than I could have ever imagined. The dance floor was packed all night and I can't even tell you how many people approached my husband and I to tell us how incredible the band was. Many said it was the best wedding band they ever heard. Total Soul made our wedding so special! I highly recommend them!

The best band (and most affordable) you could ever ask for your wedding

Total Soul was the best wedding decision we made! They were by far the most reasonably priced, but beyond that they made the entire wedding! Before the wedding Jeff was on top of everything and super responsive. At the wedding they brought the HOUSE DOWN!! All our guests were talking about how amazing they were, we had so much fun with the band! Choose Total Soul for your wedding band you will be happy you did!

Our best wedding decision!

When we booked Total Soul, I expected them to be good, based on the videos I saw. Really good, in fact. But I confess I wasn't prepared for just how INCREDIBLE they were. They learned a few songs for us and sounded as if they had been playing them for years. They performed an especially rollicking hora, and had people on the dance floor all night long - which is what my wife and I had hoped for. Multiple guests have told us that they were the best wedding band they've seen. My wife and I met in the marching band in college, and they even let us sit in with them for a few songs!

Maybe just as important - Jeff was an absolute pro to deal with. He was very responsive and helpful before the wedding, and made our lives very easy on the day of by helping to coordinate toasts and dances. The entire band brought great energy and helped make our night one we'll remember forever. I cannot recommend Total Soul highly enough!

Oh What A Night!

The band was the hottest item of the night! I had the absolute time of my life while they performed at my wedding. They handled introductions, did some DJ-ing here and there, and completely amazed me with the performance. Total Soul is the the Total Package!

Total Soul was the best!!!

Hiring Total Soul to play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Jeff was so responsive and easy to work with leading up to the big day and the band brought such amazing energy. Our guests are still talking about their "Billie Jean" performance!! Hire these guys, you won't regret it.

Incredible band!

Total Soul is incredible. They performed at my wedding this past weekend. The band manager Jeff is extremely easy to work with and reach. They are the total package....they sing, dance, and perform out on the floor. My guests raved about them. They even learned our special songs to perform live (father/daughter and mother/son). They also did our introductions, provided a piano player for cocktail hour, and provided speakers/microphone for our outdoor ceremony. They got everyone out on the dance floor and knew exactly what songs to play. I highly recommend this band

Book this band!

Book Total Soul if you want your guests to be raving about the band, the party, and the music. Total Soul had everyone dancing even before salads were served. They played last minute requests, learned new songs for our wedding, and provided beautiful ceremony music in addition to keeping the crowd on their feet the entire night. They are true professionals, true artists, and are so incredibly easy to work with. They were flexible with us when we bumped our wedding due to COVID and were so easy to communicate with. I cannot say enough about them. People will be talking about our wedding for years to come because Total Soul was involved. I know we will have family and friends booking them for other events- they are the absolute best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
