Absolutely blew us away. We hired Soul Funk Secret to perform at our marquee wedding and they exceeded our already high expectations. Arrived with plenty of time to spare, were friendly, professional and in-obtrusive with their setup at a busy venue and had the place rocking all night! Encourage anybody considering them to book now. You won’t be disappointed 🥂
