Motown Magic Experience
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"The entire group of musicians really made the evening celebrations go with a BANG ! From the background tunes during the meal, their support with the speeches, guidance with the set change and then the fabulous rendition of the first dance, right to the very last floor banging end of the night they created the perfect party atmosphere. I cannot fault their professionalism, kindness and the fun Alessandro added to both the planning process and to the Wedding Day itself. Jonathan's voice was true to the videos we had seen and all of the guests couldn't stop talking about them the following day. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great Mowtown Band with an excellent DJ to fill the gaps!"

Soul Occupants
Full starFull starFull starFull starFull star

"Ok. This is a review you need to consider if you’re interested in hiring a band that will wow your guests. Soul Occupants are simply a high class act. The musicianship is outstanding and the two sets of 60+ mins were full of songs that brought our guests onto the dance floor right away. I love my music, and being responsible for hiring this band I was a little nervous. No way! They were superb! Wedding band, club band, pub band? Just hire them, you won’t be disappointed."
