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.

Best band ever

What an INCREDIBLE band. Jeff and his crew made our wedding an absolute blast. They are receptive and really know how to read the crowd. Our day would not have been what it was without them. Fun, talented, organized, and unforgettable. Thank you, total soul!!!

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!

Best band ever

I don't even know where to begin. Total Soul was AMAZING! Every single person at our wedding was raving about them all night. I've never seen a dance floor so consistently packed throughout the night. I completely lost my voice from singing along and had to put a knee brace on both knees because I was dancing so much! Every single musician; horns, keyboard, drums, and guitar; were all SO talented. And those singers! Unbelievable! They kept the party rocking!
You'll be totally sold on Total Soul!

Exceptional!

I cannot put into words out exceptional this band was. Not only did they play almost every song I requested, but they worked very closely with the me, the bride, beforehand to plan each detail of the day. A 7 piece band sounded like a 10-12 piece band! You will not find a better wedding band, I promise you! xoxo to Total Soul!

Blew the roof off!

Jeff, the band manager, is a pro. He knows the importance of flow and momentum at a wedding. His expertise and easy going attitude removes stress from the day. You’re in good hands!
The band is not an ordinary wedding band. These are true musicians who are there to perform and feed off the energy of the people. Everyone danced- young and old. We didn’t want the night to end!

The most fun night ever

Total Soul made our wedding legendary. The band as a whole is talented, but the singers have a knack for bringing people on the dance floor and giving the place to life. They played many of the songs we requested on our list; the most impressive was when they learned a new song for our first dance. (And he ROCKED IT!) Everyone says the bride and groom don’t get a chance to dance much at their own wedding, but we were on the dance floor the entire time. You couldn’t drag me off! Lastly, Jeff, the band director, was very easy to work with. He helped us play the music at the ceremony, introduced us for the first dance, and all the music in between breaks and eating. It was seemless and yet, it constantly kept the energy of the room up. All my friends kept saying “Who is this bad? Where did you find them? They are the best wedding band I have ever seen.” I’m so happy I did find them because they truly helped make my day the best day of my life.

All You’d Hope For and Then Some

Jeff & Total Soul were awesome in all respects. Their sound is excellent. They had all our guests on the dance flr (all our friends and parents’ friends) throughout the reception. While Motown may be their bread & butter, they have range, and play contemporary hits, classic rock, etc, and play it all quite well. The bands gets out on the dance flr & will get your guests amped up. We seldom saw anyone in their seats.

Jeff was highly professional from our first interaction till after the event. He promptly responded to all calls/emails and his emails always addressed Qs/concerns. What is more, he was highly flexible...our event was in a small space & the venue was strict.

Obviously, wedding bands are pricey. These guys provide ridiculous value. I paid 40% of what several friends paid & rec’vd what I believe was a superior product. We rec’vd a slew of compliments throughout the night & the following day re the band.

Look no further.

I love Total Soul. Jeff and the rest of the gang made our wedding perfect. Everyone LOVED the music, and we were on the dance floor the entire night! I can't say enough about how awesome this band is - I highly recommend having them at your wedding!

BOOK TOTAL SOUL NOW! Seriously, this is the most amazing wedding band you'll ever hear. My father is a musician, so naturally we had multiple musician guests and all of them were saying how amazing the band was. From the start, Jeff was super easy to communicate with and very responsive to emails. He was flexible during the planning process, even when we threw a few last minute song requests their way. They are stellar musicians and know exactly what to play to keep the party going! The dance floor was packed all night. They are reasonably priced and are worth so much more! Book this band. You'll have such an awesome dance party!

Total Soul was the best money we spent on our wedding. Our guests had so much fun. The dance floor was full to capacity from beginning to end. The band took very few breaks and their energy and enthusiasm was contagious. They more than exceeded my expectations. We received more compliments on the band than I can even count. Prior to the wedding Jeff was always available to answer our questions. They were simply the best!!!!!!

I've never written an online review, but Jeff and Total Soul were so good that I feel compelled. Months after the wedding, so many friends and family still say how good the band were. The sound quality, energy, and showmanship were just incredible - I really can't think of a way to say how impressive they were. A couple of my musician friends (and play weddings and events) just stood there in awe, and everyone else danced non-stop. On top of that, Jeff was so easy and accommodating to work with, from the first phone call to his help coordinating on the day. It felt like he was organizing the wedding with us, not at all like someone who was being paid to do a job. You really can't go wrong here.

I can not say enough how incredibly awesome Total Soul is!!! My husband and I attend a wedding when we first started dating and said "IF and when we get married we are hiring this band!!!" They were the first vendor I contacted after our engagement because we wanted to make sure they were available for whatever wedding date we chose. Jeff is very responsive via email and was professional through out the entire planning process. We got tons of compliments on how awesome they were for our reception!! They made our wedding night SO FUN!!! My husband and I spent hours dancing with our friends and family and I could not have asked for a more fun night. Jeff and all of the band members are very professional, friendly and obviously very talented! We had a rain shower before our ceremony and Jeff made sure to take care of everything regardless of the rain. I had absolutely no worries regarding the band come the wedding day because I knew he would take care of everything. I also really like how you can choose how many members you would like to hire depending on your budget. To save on cost we hired the minimal amount of members but you would have never known! Thank you so much for playing a huge role in making our wedding night the best night ever!! Do yourself and your wedding guests a huge favor and HIRE TOTAL SOUL!!!! :)

Total Soul is outstanding in so many ways! We booked them for our November (day) wedding after seeing them at another wedding. The band's energy, talent, and professionalism are top-notch. Jeff was a pleasure to work with in planning, as he is very experienced and accommodating. Even for a day event, the band had our guests out dancing the entire time. For weeks after our wedding, our guests continued to comment on the band's exceptional performance! We could not have been happier with having Total Soul perform on our wedding day, and without any reservations we would highly recommend them for any event!

We were lucky to see Total Soul play at a family wedding in 2015, and knew that we had to book them for our wedding on August 27, 2016 in Lenox, MA. We cannot thank them enough for the fantastic addition they were. Jeff is wonderful and easy to work with, and the band is so very talented and fun. We had an absolute blast and Total Soul was just absolutely amazing. The #1 remark we had from guests was how phenomenal the band was. We had so many friends say that when they get married they have to have Total Soul play!

This band made our wedding day! They were so flexible and easy to work with. By far the best vendor we dealt with while planning our big day. They took it a step above! Amazing voices and awesome instrumentals. They had a perfect mix of down time and live music. Really had everyone out of their seats and dancing! Our wedding guests couldn't stop talking about them! One guest even decided to book them for her own wedding afterwards! Total Soul is the best! 7.16.16 D&A

BEST WEDDING BAND EVER! Total Soul was amazing. Our guests barely even ate their dinners because nobody wanted to get off the dance floor! From the moment they started playing, every song was a hit and the atmosphere was pure party. They sounded fantastic, and their singers also came and performed in the crowd sometimes. Mananger Jeff was fantastic to work with leading up the event. He was always prompt with responding to all my emails, and was very organized. He played all the songs we wanted, and also gave us a musician to use for our ceremony. Their lighting design was also fantastic. For north Jersey wedding bands, you are not going to get a better deal then Total Soul. Their price was a lot less than other similar bands. I would absolutely recommend using them for your wedding!

The music that “Total Soul” put out is incredible and it shows both the dedication and chemistry involved. Your ability to bridge generations between fabulous Motown and classic R and B and rock and roll from years past, with the pop and top 40 of today is amazing I am not blowing smoke, as I have personally been a big fan of Motown and beach music for a long time, but you guys consistently perform those songs as well or better than the original artists. All of the vocalists, male and female, without exception, are amazing. Each one contributes in different ways but all incredibly talented. The timing and quality of your back up musicians---horns, keyboard, guitar, percussion, is also, frankly, pretty amazing.

Because of my work, I attend and have attended many corporate functions and large parties, with some good bands, often in Las Vegas. I have also been lucky to attend some wonderful weddings with good music. However, when it comes to putting out music that people love to dance to, with the energy that you guys perform it, no band that I have heard cranks it up better than you guys. These sentiments were echoed, in some form, by so many of our gusts who danced the night away with you guys.

Travelling from New York to Sarasota, Florida, on little sleep, to perform on the beach, with the amazing stage set up and sound and equipment backup of the size that was there, was amazing. The logistics of providing for and having ready all of the equipment had to present challenges but it was all seamless. Coordinating the music to the fireworks, going out of your way to learn a couple of songs that we asked be played that I can’t possibly be on anyone’s playlist, (and then performing them so well ) were all just part of what made the night so special. Your particular hard work, to put it all together, went above and beyond. Many have no idea of the time and organization needed to pull it all off the way you did.

Hiring Total Soul was the BEST DECISION we made during wedding planning! We originally saw the band at a friend's wedding two years before. As soon as we got engaged, we knew we wanted to hire them. Despite the fact that they are from NY and our wedding was in Philadelphia, they had no problem traveling. From the start, Jeff was so receptive to my emails. We were engaged for 17 months and during that time, Jeff happily responded to my (many) emails and questions. Total Soul was so flexible! They were even happy to make changes when we requested different songs only a week before the wedding - they are truly AMAZING. The amount of energy they brought to our dance floor was unreal! We had people dancing the ENITRE time and their music was popular for people of all ages. So many of our guests have told us that they've never seen a wedding with so much dancing and said that Total Soul was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding! Their value is too good to be true - similar bands in our area are charging upwards of $12,000! Thank you Total Soul - you are very highly recommended by us!

If you want a short review then I can give one: Book Total Soul now.

If you want details, then continue.

My wife and I set our date 2.5 yrs after we got engaged. This mean we had plenty of time to research and plan every aspect of the wedding, including the band. The band was something I really wanted so she let me do the planning. I definitely wanted a live band but I wanted a band that was talented and different (I looked at a lot of bands and a great majority were generic cover bands that played the same songs in the same ways and were mostly impossible to differentiate). These guys popped out the second I checked out one of their videos. After contacting Jeff, things only got better. They were incredibly easy to talk to and coordinate. They helped us go see them live so we could hear them live in a party setting which not many bands were willing to do. In terms of our day, they came in, set up, and rocked the house. No exaggeration, every person we talked to as we made our rounds told us how much fun they were having and how great the band was. The night just would not have been the same without them. Among some of the highlights were "Rolling in the Deep", "Ain't to Proud To Beg", and "The Twist". The best was "Shout" which everyone has been talking about since the wedding. I can't say enough about how nice they were and how professional they handled us and themselves. Once again, book Total Soul now!

STOP LOOKING AND BOOK THIS BAND NOW!!!!!!! As a bride - I know this is horrible but I don't care - I barely talked to my guests, ate or even took a sip of alcohol cause I never left the dance floor!!!!! And honestly, either did many of our guests. Luckily, my husband, family and friends are all big dancers so this was truly the hit of the Wedding and Total Soul crushed it, leaving everything on the dance floor. Jeff was so amazing to work with, communicating with him was such a breeze, always answering my questions right away. We even gave them a brand new song to learn the Wednesday before our Saturday wedding and they learned it (now he didn't guarantee that they could play it live but, boy did they kill it!!!) I cannot emphasize enough that if you're a dancing crowd you NEED to hire Total Soul!!!!! Just a side note - the band doesn't play until they eat so make sure you coordinate with your caterer/planner so they are aware of when you want them to play to ensure they are feed prior!

We had so much fun with Total Soul at our wedding! They kept the dance floor packed all night long! Jeff and the Band were also amazing to work with and made sure all our requests were met. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we would HIGHLY recommend Total to Soul to any couple!

BOOK TOTAL SOUL NOW FOR YOUR WEDDING!! Seriously, these guys were amazing! I can't tell you how many of our guests told us "I've never seen so many people up and dancing at a wedding before!" They had all of our guests up and dancing for the entire wedding. They did an absolutely amazing job keeping the party going, and everyone had so much fun! They are very talented and know all the songs to keep people of all ages having a good time. Jeff is extremely helpful and gets back to emails and phone calls immediately. He is a very nice guy and does a great job managing everything. I can't stress enough how great they were for our wedding (even played music during cocktail hour and the dinner). I hope to hear them again soon!

We hired Total Soul for our June 26th wedding. We really wanted a band that would have our guests up and dancing all night. That is exactly what they did!!! Our guests loved them. Jeff was great and very professional. Any questions or concerns we had he answered. They made our wedding a night to never forget.

Total Soul was more than anything my husband and I could have asked for at our wedding! Our guests were dancing on the way to their tables, before dinner, during dinner, and throughout the entire night!! We had 208 guests at our wedding, and at least 190 of them were on the dance floor the entire night!! Their range of music catered to all ages and kept the dance floor packed! We had guests tell us, our parents, and family that this was the best wedding they have ever been too! This was definitely because of Total Soul's ability to perform and continue the party the entire night!! Their flexibility during planning of the wedding was amazing, Jeff, the manager of the band, was very easy to work with and made me feel relaxed every step of the way. I would recommend this band over and over again! Get ready to dance!!!! :)

TOTAL SOUL IS THE BEST! I had the most amazing wedding and it would not have been the same without Total Soul. My guests could not stop talking about how awesome the band was and it was clear to me as no one EVER left the dance floor. At one point, early in the evening the power went out and the band made sure this did not dampen the mood. They invited everyone up and sang acapella in the dark!

In the planning process, Jeff was so friendly and kind. He provided a sound system for our ceremony and then made sure the party rocked all night long. We planned out songs I wanted to here and those I did not. He also helped me make a timeline of events for the afternoon/evening that I used with my other vendors. I cannot rave about Total Soul enough. Trust me, Total Soul is worth EVERY penny.

Total Soul was one of the best parts about our wedding. I have seen them at three other weddings prior to ours and each time they absolutely kill the performance!! They are so good and the crowd loves them. Jeff was so easy to work with and was very responsive with any emails or calls. Everything went smoothly with them. They are very reliable and worth every penny. All of our guests won't stop talking about how awesome the band was! Thank you so much to all of you. You were so much fun!

Total Soul is an amazing wedding/event band. Jeff was very easy to work with, responsive and had a great demeanor about any question or request my family or I had. The band members are very talented and I would highly recommend them!

Total soul *made* our wedding! We were nervous booking a live band without having a chance to hear them live (though Total soul let us know about opportunities, we weren't able to make any because of our own busy schedule). But they were awesome. Jeff was incredibly responsive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. The day of they were amazing! Several of my guests were professional musicians themselves, and they remarked on how tight the vocals were. Often event bands fudge the backing vocals, but Total soul had incredible intonation and close harmony. They played a great mix of current hits and classic dancing tunes. They got everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. Highly recommended!

Total Soul Party was incredible, they know how to keep everyone on the dance floor having a great time. We also had the keyboardist play our ceremony and we hand picked songs they placed perfectly.

Leading up to it I dealt with Jeff who was always quick to respond and very helpful. There is no comparison to their band in terms of value, professionalism, and overall service.

The band played everything we asked for and helped make the wedding incredible.

We both would 100% recommend this band to anyone who is getting married.

Highly, highly recommend Total Soul. Every single person that attended our wedding raved about them afterward. I knew they were great because I had seen them perform twice before - they can do everything from Motown to 80's to current day and all of it sounds amazing. It had everyone out on the dance floor! Regardless of age! Jeff is also awesome and super responsive so planning was a piece of cake.

Every single guest said that it was the best band they have ever listened to at a wedding, hands down!! What extraordinary talent and entertainment!! Every person was on the dance floor all night! People are still buzzing about about it and I think they will be for a long time. Many have said it is going to be hard to top this band!

They are very professional and cater to your every want and need. Jeff Dieterle is a class act and he delivers!!
Just amazing!!
I can't thank them enough for making my wedding the event to remember!! Thank you Total Soul! You are TOTALLY AWESOME!

When all your guest tell you it was the wedding they had ever been to, the best food, the best wine and the best band and the most fun they have every had a wedding you know the band had to be great. The wedding venue Gothem Bar and Grill is small we had only 100 guests but the band Total Soul knows how to not over power everyone with being too loud, the volume was always right so that everyone could enjoy it.

I found out about Total Soul by attending another wedding that had 250 people and they rocked a larger venue as well. My friends all want to book them as well.

Jeff and Total Soul, were fantastic for our wedding, they provided us a chance to select songs that we wanted which were not in their play list and they had clearly practiced and rehearsed them. They showed up to the wedding venue early and rehearsed so that when it came to the main event they were in full flow. They were great during dinner, and after dinner when we started dancing they pumped up the whole room so that everyone of all ages were dancing. They also mixed songs from classic hits, to some modern tunes, to the songs that we selected in a great way. We were so happy with them and would highly reocmend them to anyone and everyone.

Working with Total Soul was a delight from the start. Great communication throughout the entire process and they really worked with us to make our experience exactly what we envisioned. And of course, they give a fantastic performance! We had all of our guests of all ages up on the dance floor! I cannot recommend them highly enough; hiring them as our band for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!

TOTAL SOUL rocked my wedding! I have never seen a band use every ounce of its energy for dancing, SINGING range, smiling and the most easy to work with! From the very first video I saw of them, my first email to them that made them CALL ME back to say YES WE WILL DO YOUR WEDDING - to the very last man on the dance floor, literally he was laying on his back singing with pipes that I can't even express my appreciation for this group of people! Everyone at the wedding enjoyed them, wanted to be them, my lady of honor even got on stage and danced with them!!
I really can't say enough about them. WORTH EVERY SINGLE FREEEEAKIN PENNY!
They did all the music we wanted from the 40's right on through the funky years of groovin'! We asked for a 7 piece band and it was the best thing we decided on for our wedding. It was our splurge and we are still getting compliments... even from people that weren't even there!
the best.
Don't get have a party unless they are there!

Total Soul lived up to and far exceeded any and all expectations I had! Jeff was so professional and easy to work with. The band barely took breaks; I don't remember hearing even one recorded song. Everyone at our wedding was on the dance floor the entire night. It was difficult to get everyone seated for dinner! We feel so lucky to have found total soul and have them play at our wedding. Thank you!!

I cannot say enough good things about Total Soul! There has not been a friend who we've spoken to since our wedding who hasn't raved about what a fantastic band we had, and how much Total Soul contributed to making it such an amazing night. They were the consummate entertainers and professionals, and above all, brought heart and soul to the dance floor. I would recommend them to anyone!

Total Soul was great. I saw them a few years ago at a charity event and my husband and i knew we wanted them for our wedding. They were excellent. Everyone loved them and they made the wedding great. Again, so many guests asked for their contact info afterward!!

They are amazing! They absolutely were the key to our successful reception. People haven't stopped talking about them, and we were married five months ago!

I've been married 4 years and people still ask who the band was and rave about them. They also performed at my sister and cousins wedding. We can't get enough of them! Wish I could get married all over again just to have them play!
