5 stars - The Souls Way are Highly Recommended
booked The Souls Way for their Wedding March 2024

“I have seen The Souls Way perform at a wedding, and then at two separate events after this. Vocalist Tony is warm, friendly and a charming performer. His rich, soulful voice fills the room, and he clearly chooses the very highest quality musicians to accompany him. What is also heart-warming to see is the fun and interaction that the band have between themselves, all the while still fully captivating their audience. Whatever your event, I would wholly recommend!”

“The Souls Way played during our wedding at Oh me oh my (Liverpool). They were absolutely perfect!! Our guests were blown away by Tony's voice and talent. They were professional and friendly too. We couldn't have asked for better musicians for our day. Now we want to get married again so we can have them there again Haha!”


BEST WEDDING BAND EVER!!!

5 stars - The Souls Way are Highly Recommended
booked The Souls Way for their Wedding

“The Souls Way played for our wedding ceremony and reception and were AMAZING! We made the error of seating Tony behind our guest during the ceremony and his performance was so good, half our guests thought it was a CD playing! For the evening reception, incredible performance, incredible musical execution and spot on choice of songs. All the guests we've seen since the day have raved about how amazing the band were. We had an amazing venue, and fantastic weather but it was all upstaged by how great the band were.”


ABSOLUTLY PERFECT!!!!

“In June The Souls Way did us the great honour of performing at our wedding at the gorgeous Upton Barn in Devon. Absolutely fantastic! Both our families were blown away by the talent. One thing for sure, we will never forget the blistering sunshine and “love is easy”, the memory makes me smile whenever it comes on the radio xxx”

“Tony performed for our wedding ceremony from start to finish and it was excellent! He covered the entrance, the signing of the books and the exit. It was in the summer of 17 in Chester which he kindly travelled to , and it made our day extra special! Pleasure to have on the day, excellent talent with a great friendly personality! Thanks Tony”
