I've never heard Misery Business, Shake it Off, Mr. Brightside, and so many other non-piano songs in this format. And what's more, you wouldn't even really know unless you knew it was pianos because it sounded so good! Dance floor was hopping all night and everyone had a great time! Highly recommend for weddings, but I'm sure they'd be great supporting any kind of event!

You cannot have a great wedding reception without great music--and Soul City Shakedown certainly…read moredelivered! With the big sound of its brass section to the mesmerizing vocals of its singers, this band had all our guests dancing all night! Besides its unrivalled raw musical talent, Soul City Shakedown has something that all the other wedding bands we saw lacked...Passion! This passion is what elevated the music and the experience our guest had to the next level. In fact, it was readily apparent to our guests that the band was having just as much fun as they were!! Not only did the elite members of Soul City Shakedown have passion for the music and the performance, they also had passion for their clients. This wasn't just another paid wedding gig for the band; from the start Jon Ardito, the band's manager and drummer, showed us that he cared about us and our experience by providing first rate customer service. He was extremely responsive, flexible, and always put my fiancée and I first. Jon made it his mission to go the extra mile to ensure each and every detail of our reception was perfect. For example, the band learned several new songs to ensure we heard all our favorite tunes at our reception. We wholeheartedly recommend Soul City Shakedown to any couple looking for an accommodating, passionate, and highly talented band that will certainly deliver an unforgettable reception. In fact, my brother (a professional musician) and his fiancee have already booked Soul City Shakedown for their wedding in September!

Modern Luxe was one of the best choices we made for our wedding --- they are incredibly talented…read moreand really brought the energy to our dance floor, and we've been told by countless guests that they loved our band. I stumbled across them during a YouTube deep-dive of local wedding bands and immediately told my now-husband I'd found the right band. We reached out in Sept 2021 and asked if there was any opportunity to see them live before we booked. They didn't have any upcoming live shows at the time but immediately invited us to stop by one of their rehearsals, where we were greeted warmly from the moment we arrived. They played a few songs by our request, though within 30 seconds we confirmed we were sold, and then were friendly enough to all sit and get to know us for a bit. They met with us again closer to our wedding date to confirm all of our song choices for the big moments, even enthusiastically agreeing to create a surprise mash-up of my dad's song choice and a childhood favorite of ours for our father-daughter dance. On our actual wedding day, they were flawless from beginning to end. Their instrumental version of "Helpless" from Hamilton for my walk down the aisle instantly triggered tears. Our first dance and dance songs were perfect. Our dance floor was packed all evening, including friends and family who don't typically gravitate toward the dance floor, and we had an absolute blast. MLX even surprised us by bringing one of their singers who'd actually left the group since we'd booked because they remembered we'd felt drawn to him (though their new singer, James, is awesome, too!). You can tell that MLX really loves what they do and were genuinely invested in making sure our wedding was perfect. We can only hope that one of our friends hires Modern Luxe for their own wedding someday. Until then, we will definitely be seeking them out at one of their public shows so we can relive our perfect night over and over.

For those who frequent the live local cover band nightlife scene like hubs and I had so much fun…read moredoing before kiddos, you may remember a band called Lima Bean Riot. They have somewhat recently reinvented themselves as "Modern Luxe" and play weddings now too! They still kick tush!!! We recently attended a wedding and these guys absolutely rocked it!! They played a fantastic mix of genres and combined them all so seamlessly. They had the crowd dancing and singing along from beginning to end. They covered all the classics you expect to hear at a wedding and some you would never think to, but thought were an awesome add-in. Each member of the band who came from a variety of different musical backgrounds offered something unique to the mix and together, they were absolute perfect and well-rounded. The band acknowledged the couple often and very well. They gave a warmth to the couple as if they weren't just another gig. They even learned the first dance song which the bride said she loved more than the original. The bride also said that she was going to go with a DJ, but once she saw Modern Luxe at a bar one night in Philly, she was sold. My small critique has nothing to do with the music so I'll keep with my 5 star rating they deserve based on performance. The tiny thing that kind of rubbed me the wrong way was the beautiful, personable lead singer's flip flops which she wound up changing into well into the night. I totally get it. Heels suck. There's no getting around it. Dancing and performing in them for hours blows. I've done it. I too was in the same industry for years and years and wore heels the entire night. I feel her pain, I really, really do. I just think it looked very unprofessional for a wedding, even a more casual summer barn wedding. There could've been a better, more appropriate shoe choice in my opinion. I'm not one for flip flops anywhere other than the beach or on the way to yoga. Certainly not with a dress and definitely not to your place of work or a wedding. A nice sandal if she wanted to keep with a summer open toe, a ballet flat or flat ankle bootie to go with the whole rocker chick thing. I mention this because I'm not the only one who noticed. The bride gave a lot of thought into every perfect elegant detail of her special night and I personally thought it was a tad disrespectful. I know this may sound harsh and silly, but I notice these things and apparently wasn't the only one. Small, tiny fixable flaw however. I've seen other photos of her performing and she looks amazing and dressed up, head to toe so I'm not sure what the deal was with this night.... I would absolutely hire these guys without thinking twice and I'm suuuuuuuper picky about bands. If you're in the market for a band for your wedding which I personally think is the way to go and makes a world of a difference, check these guys out! They still play the bar scene so seeing them live before booking or just for fun is easy. Check their Insta or FB for upcoming gigs!

After meeting a month or so before the wedding to talk about the kind of music we wanted and specific songs, we were able to send a list of artists and songs and ceremony music just a few days before the wedding. John supplemented our requests with some other classics and crowd-pleasers at the reception. He can find and download pretty much any music you want if it isn't already in his collection, even for requests at the event itself (using his phone's wireless). We were initially planning to do a playlist ourselves without the DJ, but John's price was very reasonable and he helped to manage the whole reception so in the end we were happy to have worked with him.
