Vivid Soul's Reviews

5 out of 5

Vivid Soul were the best wedding band we could have asked for! They played a perfect set of floor fillers and kept all of our guests dancing all night. Our first dance ("La Vie En Rose") was performed beautifully, even down to the exact trumpet solo from the record (which was good for us as our choreography matched up exactly like when we practised it!). They looked the part too, with a great lighting setup and smart outfits which just happened to match our colour scheme. Sam and Lucy were amazing to deal with throughout the process, really quick at responding to emails and we felt like we were in safe hands all the way through. Our venue (Curradine Barns) has a strict sound limiter, which they were able to navigate without issue thanks to an electronic drum kit and a good deal of experience. We've had so many lovely comments from our guests about the band. Could not recommend more highly!

5 out of 5

Vivid Soul were everything we dreamed of and more: fun, confident, technically brilliant - amazing musicians delivering non-stop amazing tunes - the night just kept getting better with every song they played and our guests were roaring for encores! We've not stop talking about how fabulous they were and how much fun was had on the dance floor. They helped create some of the most precious and joyful memories of our wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!

We strive to make sure the line-up you see is what you get on the night. We do have pre-audititioned 'dep' musicians available in case a band member falls ill or is unavailable.

On average, we need about 1.5 hours to set everything up. To make sure we have plenty of time to get everything sorted and ready to go, we would ideally arrive at least 2 hours before our first set. If you would prefer us to arrive earlier (to ensure our set up doesn’t interrupt any guests!) we can very happily do this!

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time.
