    Best Wedding Band Ever

    We hired the Soulville Band from American Events Network for our wedding and they were everything and more! They had an acoustic guitarist play during cocktail hour, helped to emcee our reception, the live band was amazing and even the DJ that played during the band’s breaks was fantastic. They had all our guests on the dance floor, old, young and everyone in between. We’ve been flooded with compliments about how fun our wedding was and how fantastic this band was. Thank you, AEN and Soulville!

    Best wedding band ever!

    Soulville (AEN) made our wedding! They had all of our guests up dancing the entire night. After the wedding every guest complimented the band and said how amazing they were. We hired AEN for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music. The music throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful. Glenn is an expert at his job and we took his advice on instrument and music selections, everything turned out better than I could imagine. Ileana was also great to work with, very responsive to all of my questions and put together our music selections and scheduling. This band will bring your wedding to the next level and is worth every dollar. Months later, our guests are still talking about the band and the music. Without a doubt, they are a vendor you must book!

    Best wedding band ever

    The Soulville band is insane! We had about 11 people in the band, including wind instruments during our September wedding at an Orange County country club.

    Not only were my husband and I blown away at the skill sets of each performer, this was hands down the talk of our wedding day from all our guests for weeks to come. No one could believe how talented they all were and not once person was off the dance floor once they started playing. We easily could have danced all night with the band who was incredibly immersive with our crowd.

    Glen & Illeana were our main contacts during the planning process and we were pleased to have Glen on site day of. He was managing all of the production and sound with the band, and even hopped on the bass toward the end of the night for fun. Super cool group of people and we are so appreciative of Glen, Illeana and each band member!

    Overall, these performers are unlike anything you've seen and they will absolutely turn any wedding guests into party animals by the end of the night. Thank you, thank you, thank you Soulville! see you at the next wedding, because now all of our friends/family want to book you guys!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    We had the Soulville Band at our wedding on August 3 and we cannot say enough good things about them! They made our reception SO much fun. The dance floor was packed the entire evening. The performers are all so talented and put so much heart and soul into their work. Our guests were all raving about the talent and fun of the band and they are all still talking about it months later! Many guests told us they never dance at weddings but they couldn't help themselves because the band was just that good. Thank you Soulville for making our reception so memorable!

    Party rock is in the house tonight

    Soulville put on an epic performance at our wedding. As a musician myself, I wanted to make sure that we had a band that was comprised of truly professional musicians. From start to finish, Soulville delivered an amazing show for us and all of our guests. One guest, who attends dozens of weddings each year, told us that they did the best hora he had ever heard. In addition, we arranged to have a DJ play for an extra hour at the end of the evening. We were expecting someone to just come and push play on an iPod, but DJ Aylexx did so much more and really closed out our party in the best way possible. Can't say enough good things about this band.

    Love this band!

    One of the most memorable things about our wedding day was how awesome the band was! They got everyone up and dancing all night, mixing the genre's up so that all ages were excited. They played our Hawaiian-esque first dance song beautifully. They were just so fun and so talented! I would absolutely recommend hiring them!

    We hired Soulville to play at our wedding the past August and they were INCREDIBLE! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire time. Super high energy, play all kind of music, and Ileana and Glen were great to work with.

    We hired Soulville for our wedding, and they absolutely ROCKED IT!! They played a fun mix of Motown/soul, 80s/90s and current hits, managing to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. Throughout the night, I had multiple guests approach me to comment on how amazing the band was, and to ask where I found them. A huge thank you to Glen and his team for investing time up front to understand our taste and to select 8 performers that would suit our style. Our wedding wouldn't have been half as fun without Soulville, and I cannot thank them enough!

    Simply amazing! We saw Soulville perform at one of our friend's weddings, and knew immediately that we wanted to book them for ours. They put together a package which suited our needs (9 piece band, + DJ for the after party) and were responsive and super helpful throughout the planning process. Definitely call to speak with Glenn!

    Amazing! Wow and Thank You!
    My job for our wedding was the music so I went to three different wedding agencies and auditioned several bands to get a good reference as what the LA bands cost and their talent level.
    A friend was raving about Soulville and were they right! Book Soulville! You will not be disappointed. They connected with our guests that crossed all ages and their talent blew everyone away.. We are still buzzing..Their energy and enthusiasm was off the charts. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night. By far the biggest compliment we receive about our wedding was how amazing Soulville was. I would HIGHLY recommend using American Events. Since music and a live band is one of the most important parts of a wedding, do yourself a favor and book Soulville.. problem solved.

    So glad we hired Glen and his artists! They made our wedding incredible. Everyone was raving about them after it was over. My husband and I had a complicated first dance that had to be right on point with the timing and Glen accommodated us by having the band learn it beforehand and even practice live with us before the wedding party! Wouldn't have gotten that service from anyone else. Best choice out there!

    Fun! If you want your wedding to ROCK and get the best value book Soulville and American Events Network. Ask for Glen! We originally saw them at our friends wedding at the Four Seasons and knew right away we had to have them. And we looked around at several bands.
    Since I am a musician I can articulate what distinguished and why they stand out from every other band we saw. They had EVERYBODY on the dance floor jumping and completely engaged from beginning till the end.
    All of the musicians are wireless and they go on the dance floor and have fun with the guest. At the end of every song the audience goes crazy like they are headlining.
    I got to know Glen from several conversations and understand why his philosophy works and why so many bands have spun off using his unique format of reading every audience. Greg our MC was brilliant and warmed up the audience to perfection. This is a class act and I give them the highest compliment I can give.

    WOW! AMAZING! This top notch Band came through in every way. Glen the owner is the real deal. His personal involvement from selecting the right band members to performance for the ceremony and the reception was far more then we expected. This top quality bands professionalism is experienced with American Idol, The Voice and many popular artist. When Glen says the artist have range in performance, he truly means it! In selecting our band the main request was that they perform as if we were at their concert, they did this and more! At one point the vocalist and guitar player came down into the audience and jammed. All our guest were on the dance floor the ENTIRE NIGHT, even grandma! We all know that music is one of the most import parts to the wedding. Soulville Band will work with all your needs. They love hearing your desires and work very hard to make your dreams come true... they did us!

    If you are looking for the best band for your wedding look no further you have found them. Soulville from American Events Network ROCKS! We had 250 guests at the Grand Del Mar. This was a wedding packed with music industry professionals and performers. And the sound system had to be state of the art. Glen brought in a concert series sytem and the fidelity was beyond what I expected. Many of our musician friends sat in with the band during the encores and it raised the roof! To get music industry snobs to dance was a huge task and Soulville did it! Since my wedding I have had several emails requesting the bands booking information. There is a big difference between wedding bands out there and take it from me Soulville stands out. Best choice we made. This is your band!

    Thank you American Events and Soulville!
    We first heard Soulville at our friends wedding and we gave them a deposit before we confirmed our venue. If you want to sleep better at night get Glen and AEN on your team. Glen and Ileana were always available for us. My mother wanted to coordinate some of the wedding herself as she used to be in the business and likes to be involved. She loves Glen! He helped her with several demo timelines that fit us and we found a simple and easy pacing solution. The entire process was so much fun.

    Okay the wedding; Soulville’s energy, talent and their sound quality blew us all away. Of course their singers are amazing, very interactive with the audience, which is exactly what we wanted. Our musician friends who were guest all commented how great the musicians in the band are. After the Encores the DJ played for an hour in another ballroom and it was the perfect way to end the best day of our lives.

    We had some last minute changes to the timeline and they were available for us one day before the wedding. Great service. We will see them again next year as another couple we referred them to has booked them as well. These guys are just the best. I highly recommend them. Thank you Soulville!

    I first experienced Soulville at my friend's wedding in June of 2012 at the Beverly Hills Hotel and they blew me away. Best band I had ever seen at a wedding. Now some two years later my only must-have was Soulville.
    I have seen them three times since and I think I am there biggest fan!
    Soulville is by far the best band you can hire for your wedding and here is why.
    Talent, Service, Fun, Availability, Expertise and Caring.
    Soulville’s talent and professionalism goes beyond the stage.
    Ileana was our coordinator and was just the best to work with, she always got back to me within minutes. They are so friendly, honest and always available to answer questions and concerns for a high maintenance bride like myself.
    Every time I see them they get all of the guests dancing.
    Please tell the band they truly were the highlight of our night and we can't thank you enough for the unforgettable memories you helped create.
    The band played an acoustic dinner set with stunning performance that included four strings circling the dance floor. It was so beautiful. Of course they had everybody jumping and had to play two encores!

    These are the experts!

    My wedding was amazing and I have to elaborate on why American Events Network was absolutely the best!

    We hired both a string quartet to play the ceremony and Soulville 10 piece band for the reception. We had half Latin and half Jewish wedding and they arranged several special songs for the ceremony and a difficult first dance that we had choreographed that they played absolutely flawlessly. The band played the best Horah!

    Soulville read our diverse audience to perfection between the 60s, 70's classics that everyone (mostly my parent's friends) loves to dance to and the current hits that all our friends love. It was just amazing how good they are at what they do.

    The dance floor was always packed! Even Jeffery, who doesn't like to dance, was on that dance floor all night. People keep commenting that they have never been at a wedding where everyone danced all night long.

    It's been several weeks now and people are still telling us that we had one of the best weddings they have ever been to and specifically saying that the band 'made it.' We can't thank AEN for making it a true celebration atmosphere from beginning to end!

    This is the third time we have hired AEN.
    And we have referred them many more times. Everyone loved the band, the energetic singers, the professional musicians and perfect playlist. They really kept the party going.

    “We had Soulville perform at our wedding and they were amazing! 1000 stars! They were so easy to work with and my favorite vendors. They handled the string quartet for ceremony and cocktail hour and a Ten piece band for our reception. A+ - If you want the best in wedding entertainment contact American Events Network.

    Professional, Fun and quality!

    "I was the wedding planner for a wedding that Soulville performed at the Grand Del Mar. I have worked with several bands and booking agencies and working with the entire AEN team I have to say they are above the industry standard. The reason is not just their performance was amazing, but the attention to customer service and detail made them so EASY to work with. The crowd raved about the band. They are professional, talented, fun! I can't wait to work with them again!

    We booked American Events Network for our daughter’s wedding and it was first class in every respect. The band brought twelve pieces and they were wonderful. The dance floor was full, and everyone, of all ages had a great time. AEN set up additional music sound systems throughout our venue for the ceremony and cocktail hour that were perfect. It was the best night, very classy and very lively. Soulville Band are not only talented,they are fun.

    Wow! This band is fantastic. It was my job to pick the band and did I get it right! My guests have not stopped raving about them.
    Soulville read our diverse crowd and my guests danced all night, their music and sound is fantastic. I apologize we did not get to thank you that evening, but that's because we had the sparklers and Shari was pushing us into the limo. Thanks for everything! Very impressive! Herb and Diane Weiss

    OMG 10 stars! As a coordinator myself I have seen and worked with a lot of the top wedding bands in Los Angeles and on the east coast. Soulville is my favorite and “THE” best wedding band in the world! Soulville performed at my own wedding in Malibu on July 12, 2014. Many guest are still emailing me about how awesome the band was. If you are thinking of having a live band at your wedding you must call AEN! Ask for Glen. Best value, you’ll see. Laroy nailed our first dance, which was not on their playlist. We are still buzzing and so happy with them. They had my 81 year-old grandpapa dancing the night away!!! Their music and sound is perfect for any wedding. THIS IS MY FAVORITE WEDDING BAND BY FAR! Book them! Rob and Liz Duncan

    We can't thank American Events enough. This multi talented, family run business, hands down, made our wedding the most special night of our lives. The entertainment was, electric, modern, and brilliant! We felt like we were at a concert. The charismatic owner Glen also MC'd our night (in between the lead female vocals, illeana his talented wife) had everyone on the dance floor and kept the energy alive, all night. His years of experience and expertise is second to none. The beats kept coming with (DJ Justin), spinning hit after hit. Also, (JJ) was snapping shots incase you missed that critical moment. American events were such a pleasure to work with and made our lives so much easier knowing that our entertainment was in the right hands. They were willing to help us with anything and everything. I would DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone holding a special event as they left an imprint on our hearts.
    Thanks again Glen and everyone at American Events!

    Soulville absolutely rocked my wedding. I am in the music business and I did my research. Their talent is amazing; their attention to service with all of the last minute little details that came up were outstanding. Very professional and great value too. They were literally reading our audience the entire evening. If I could give them a hundred stars I would!

    I will hire Soulville for all of our future events.

    If you want the best wedding band…get Soulville.
