“We had the most amazing and magical day. It was overwhelming to be surrounded by people who we love and who had all gone to huge effort to celebrate with us especially so close to Christmas. You all made the day amazing! There are so many people to thank for all of their help on the lead up, on the day and afterwards.

“how incredible the band was”
“Thank you so much Funk’N’Soul, for performing at our wedding — we had such a great time dancing and so many of our guests commented on how incredible the band was. In fact, one couple I know have already been in touch with you about their wedding next year, and another I know are hoping to ask you to perform at another party too! The quality of the musicianship was absolutely fantastic and the guys were so great at getting everyone involved.”

“taking customer service to another level”
“Dale Gibson offered Funk’N’Soul, with the complete package for our wedding day. The DJ helpfully came and set up the stage and large kit the day before and arrived in plenty of time on the day to complete setting up which was a real comfort for us with our wedding being at our own home grounds rather than at a venue. The band’s Jazz Trio option, who played for us in the afternoon were wonderful and played appropriate and tasteful music with no direction from us during our drinks and canape reception. The DJ was on hand all day and was particularly helpful during our speeches by testing and handing out the microphones that he provided when required. He also helped one of our guests perform an unplanned performance of ‘Don’t stop me now’ which was absolutely brilliant. Funk’N’Soul learnt and played ‘So Amazing’ for the first time for our first dance and it really was ‘So Amazing’! They played two sets, which once again were amazing and soo much fun with no direction or prompting from us, and kept the dance floor full and lively all night. The band were very accommodating to our timings slipping during the day resulting in them starting their first set 2 hours later than planned. The DJ and his assistant played until nearly 4am, playing numerous song requests and accommodating an unplanned karaoke session. The DJ also helped Alanna lock up the marquee etc. once guests left at roughly 5am, certainly taking customer service to another level. We will certainly be booking Funk’N’Soul and their lighting/sound and DJ service for future events!”

“WITHOUT YOUR MUSIC THE WHOLE DAY WOULD NOT HAVE FLOWED AS BEAUTIFULLY AS IT DID”
“Thanks for making Mike & Lisa’s big day special. Without your music the whole day would not have flowed as beautifully as it did. The musical collection (and the way we could choose our favourite tunes) was excellent and catered for all the different tastes on the night. All the guests loved the range of numbers which were played in a very professional manner and the night just went too quickly. We’d certainly recommend you again to anyone wanting a live band for any style of future event.”

“Thank you so, so much for playing at Charlotte’s 21st. Funk’N’Soul were brilliant! Every thank you letter we have received has told us how good you are so it isn’t just we oldies who loved it but the kids as well. We were really impressed by all the work you put in before the event to make sure that everything went well and you were playing the music that Charley wanted to hear. She was thrilled by the whole evening and especially enjoyed coming up to sing ASL emoticon with you! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the band to anyone.”

“IT WAS A PLEASURE BEING IN THE AUDIENCE”
“When Funk’N’Soul started with “Pick Up the Pieces” my jaw dropped and I couldn’t find it for the remainder of the performance! It’s great to see a band where the instruments are not in the way, instead they complement the musicians. Vocal was outstanding too… from Prince to Brown… and with such energy. Phenomenal! It was a pleasure being in the audience. Thank you.”
