    Excellent Band. Fun and Professional.

    Southern City Lights was incredible, and I cannot recommend this band enough. Communication with David was easy, and he made the entire experience extremely simple. All of the band members were great and very professional. We got so many compliments about how good and fun the band was. If we ever are in need of another band, I will certainly reach out to David and Southern City Lights first.

    Remarkable band with amazing response times

    Southern City Lights is a truly amazing group. Three years ago, my sister used them for her wedding and I had to have them for mine as well. Our wedding was July 7th, 2022 and absolutely perfect. The band has such an easy to customize rubric for entrances, dances, and preferred songs which allows you to have everything you want in the order wanted. Also, David Winkles is so responsive to emails and messages. It makes the process so pain free and takes the stress away. On top of that, they sound great! They keep everyone dancing and all our guests raved about them. They truly helped make our wedding amazing and I highly recommend them to everyone.

    Southern City Lights >

    David and the rest of Southern City Lights did the BEST job of making my wedding reception so much fun! All of my guests were thoroughly entertained all night, and the dance floor was always the place to be! David took all of my requests (even the strange ones) in stride, and the music and entertainment at my wedding was everything I ever dreamed it would be! My family is one to never leave the dance floor at a wedding, and so the band at my wedding was very important to me. Thanks to Southern City Lights, my guests, my family, my husband, and myself all had the most fun night! I would highly recommend Southern City Lights to anyone looking for fun, quality entertainment for any event!

    Absolutely made our night!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND David and Southern City Lights! David was extremely communicative from the beginning and was always available to answer any questions we had as we customized the right fit for our wedding. Southern City Lights was the absolute hit of the reception, they learned a few songs especially for our wedding which made the night all the more special! Our guests are still raving about how good the band was. Thank you SCL for helping to make our day absolutely perfect!

    Great way to pick a vendor is to read the reviews

    David and his group went way beyond our expectations! We didn’t have to worry about one thing. David came in set up and when the ceremony was to begin, they were in place and ready! During the reception it was AMAZING! This group is the best I’ve ever heard any will be who I use in our next event!

    Southern city lights - 10/10!

    BOOK THIS BAND!!! We had Southern City Lights for the wedding/reception and they will not disappoint. For the weeding, we had a guitar/violin and then for the reception it was a 5 piece band. Wedding was very sweet with violin and they kept the dance floor rocking all night long at the reception. David and his crew are phenomenal musicians. They have many different packages to choose from small to large pieces bands. David is easy to work and will help you pick the right one for what you are looking for. We have already recommended them to other friends that are getting married so. Can't wait to see them again at one of our own events or one that we attended. 10/10!!!!

    Wedding Reception

    Southern City Lights were by far the most professional and responsive group out of all vendors at our wedding. They didn't just provide a great show throughout the reception, they also communicated throughout the process and put us both at ease when it came to the entertainment part of the night. Our guests still talk about the band! I strongly encourage anyone looking for a great band to reach out to David and Southern City Lights, you will not regret it!

    Southern City Lights's reply:

    Hey Josh, Thank you so much! That really means a lot to us.

    We've talked about your wedding several times since as well. For us, it was truly one of the best we have played. There was just such a nice atmosphere that allowed the night to really come to life naturally.

    I sincerely enjoyed meeting everyone and for the opportunity to play a small part of that amazing day!

    I wish y'all a Happy "First" Thanksgiving as a married couple and many more indeed!

    Very Sincerely,

    David Winkles.

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    Wow! I cannot speak highly enough of David and his team at Southern City Lights. I reached out to them to play at our wedding reception for June 2021. He was very good with communication and was always available to answer any questions my husband and I had. Even with us having to change dates because of the pandemic, David was very flexible and understanding. His team did an amazing job of setting up their stage area at the reception. We received so many compliments from our guests of how great our band was! Southern City Lights is an awesome band! They made sure the music matched the mood and kept everyone entertained the whole night! Book them for your next wedding or event…. I promise you won’t regret it! – Jena & Cameron Hooper

    Great Music and dancing all night long!!!

    If you want to have THE BEST TIME at your wedding, Southern City Lights is your band!!! Our dance floor was packed for the entire reception, everyone had a blast and wanted to know where we found David and his band! Being a musician, I was thoroughly impressed by their sound and their ability to sound consistently great in every different genre they played (not an easy feat!). David was very kind and responsive as we went over plans for the big picture down to all the important, little details. Despite the fact that my husband's and my song was not in their repertoire, they took the time to learn it and totally rocked it, which officially made the night for us, it was absolutely wonderful.

    Hire this band for your wedding now!

    Look no further...this is absolutely the wedding band you want to hire. My wife and I got married 5/8/21 and while there many highlights of the night, our guests couldn't stop raving about the band afterwards. The mix of songs (both old school and new), the energy, the performance itself...it was all outstanding.

    David was a pleasure to work with leading up to the event and truly went above and beyond with our coordination.

    Thank you SCL for playing a very large part in making our day so special!

    10/10 would recommend again!

    10/10 and would recommend again! David was very professional from the very first conversation and throughout our entire wedding process. He worked with us and his team learned a few songs just for our wedding. He showed up on time and they were the absolute hit of the reception. It has been 5 months since our wedding and we still have guests raving about how good our band was. Thanks again David for being apart of our special day!

    This is the band you're looking for!

    When my now-husband first told me he wanted a live band instead of a DJ, I did not think it would be within our budget. It turns out Southern City Lights offered many different options for all price points and instrument preferences. We were able to pick and choose exactly what we wanted for our big day. David and his team were the epitome of professionalism, personalized touch, and SO much fun! David talked us through every step of the process, so communication and expectations were crystal clear. We opted for instrumentals during the ceremony and a five-piece band for the reception. Our friends and family are still talking about how much fun our wedding was - and we all know the music makes the party. SCL had everyone on the dance floor from Grandma Bebop cutting a rug to our toddler niece showing off her moves to all the uncles singing together. The only sad part was when it was over! The saying goes "where words fail, music speaks". Music has played a huge part in our love story, and there is no one we would recommend more than David and Southern City Lights. Reach out and get in touch. I promise you'll be glad you did!

    Excellent band!

    Southern City Lights was amazing! They did a great job, and were so easy to work with. They took into account what we wanted played and what we didn’t want played. Their enthusiasm was great. All of our guests really enjoyed their performance. I highly recommend them!

    The best band for weddings ever!

    David Winkles was very professional in all aspects of working with us to schedule performances for our Friday night Welcome Party and Saturday evening Wedding. I can not explain the delight of having David perform solo at our outdoor Welcome Party where he entertained everyone during the dinner and afterwards. The next evening, he and his band were set up in the wedding pavilion where they played before and after the ceremony. Then they really rocked out and got everyone up and dancing for the rest of the evening! This made our wedding so special and fun that we can't thank them enough. From the ease of scheduling the band to coordinating our playlist and then to the final note, Southern City Lights was the perfect band for our wedding and will be for yours as well. Thank you, David & Southern City Lights!

    Absolutely phenomenal.

    I cannot recommend Southern City Lights more. They are professional, easy to work with, and phenomenal musicians. We received SO many compliments during our wedding and still have people asking for their contact information a week later. David went out of his way to help me figure out what kind of vibe we were going for and it exceeded all expectations. We definitely couldn’t have picked a better band for our reception!

    Do yourself a favor and book Southern City Lights!

    Southern City Lights did SUCH a wonderful job at our wedding! I wanted to keep things mostly upbeat and they achieved the exact reception vibe I was looking for! People were on the dance floor all night, and we got so many compliments about the band! There were so many flexible options to choose from (4-piece, 5-piece, female vocalist, etc.) and they are affordable and easy to fit whatever your needs are! They sent out a questionnaire prior to the wedding date which made things super easy. They also let our ceremony musician borrow an extra speaker, which they didn't have to do but was much appreciated. David was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

    Such a great band!!!

    David and his team were phenomenal!! We used them at our wedding reception in January. David was so great to communicate with and made the whole entire process run smoothly. They did a great job at keeping the atmosphere up beat but knew exactly when to keep it low key as well. Truly want to help you make your vision come true! Highly recommend!

    Excellent experience! Beyond Expectations!

    Southern City Lights Band was right on target for our wedding. Communication was easy, always responsive and David helped us create a timeline to fit our plans for the evening. The band was engaging and fun for everyone. Their music and performance was exactly what we wanted. They also assisted another fire performer by pulling out a mobile speaker and hooking her music up for her show. Truly a great decision on our part to hire Southern City Lights for our daughter’s wedding reception.

    Magical Night

    My guests are still complimenting us on the band a month after our wedding. They had an amazing time rocking out to them all night! They can play any genre you need and they performed our ceremony too. It was beautiful!
