Soul Play was AMAZING! The best wedding band we've ever seen and they really killed it at our wedding reception! We've had at least 10 families call us asking how to get in touch with this band for their children's wedding receptions. They got the crowd going and the party never stopped. They were so much fun and all of our guests haven't stopped talking about how much they loved Soul Play! Thank you so much for the best night!

Can’t thank you enough. Soul Play was AMAZING. Everyone commented on how great they are…..and asked where we got them from. We have spread the word.
Please thank the band for us again when you see them. We really didn’t get a chance to give them a proper thank you at the end of the evening. Our wedding Planner, Tara Jordan handled getting them our tip.
Wish the night could have gone on much longer……

Soul Play put on an amazing performance at our wedding. I highly recommend them, if you’re looking for a band that plays a little of everything. We did not have an opportunity to see them perform live prior to our wedding, but relied on their website and videos on the web. They are high energy and like to interact with the crowd. At one point, they orchestrated a boys vs girls dance off, which was a lot of fun. We continue to get great reviews from people who attended our wedding. We appreciate all your hard work setting us up with Soul Play at the wedding.

I think you might surmise from this photo that Soul Play was indeed a huge hit with everyone, Including the father of the bride doing his best rendition of Michael Jackson!
Thank you so very much for all of your efforts in making our event such a huge success. The band was outstanding and kept people on the dance floor all evening!! We could not have been more pleased with the service EastCoast Entertainment provided us from start to finish, flawless in every way!
Thank you again for the great recommendation of Soul Play and for the top notch service from your organization. So glad you and your family could join us for the celebration!

Soul Play did a great job at the wedding reception. They sang the songs that Mary Beth had requested as well as others of their choosing. The reception went on until 12:30, and they were lively and entertaining until the end. They took breaks but did not overdo them. There was dancing to their music from approximately 7:30 until 12:30. We received many compliments from the wedding guests on the band. I think that your recommendation of Soul Play was a good call, and I would recommend them to anyone that request my opinion of their performance.

Before we go to bed tonight we have to give a huge thank you for being THE party last night! Everyone had an amazing time thanks to your unbelievable energy and talent! Zach and I danced the whole night and still made our rounds through the guests because everyone was on the dance floor. You may have a new fan club of Richmonders who try to crash every local event you play from here on out! Thank you for everything... It really was the best night ever!

Thanks for the follow-up! Soul Play was wonderful- they truly made the night incredible. We had several people say that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to, largely because the live band created an incredibly fun atmosphere. Soul Play read our audience and played songs that EVERYONE loved. Both of our grandmothers were even out on the dance floor! I could not recommend a better band, especially if you want a fun and active wedding... Thanks for asking!

I just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed Soul Play at our party Saturday night. They were wonderful to work with and very engaged working up to the event. They did a great job of feeling out the crowd and playing more low-key music at the beginning as everyone was arriving. Once the party got going, they didn't hold back and we all danced the night away. My friends and I LOVE to get on stage and they invited us up at different intervals which made it a blast. Also really liked how they came out into the crowd to interact with the guests. I can't wait to party with them again soon!
Thank you so much for helping us find them!

Our Cotillion Club was extremely pleased with Soul Play at our Spring Dance and Debutante Ball. The music selection was great. Al and his fellow band members were easy to approach, to work with and our members really enjoyed their style. The lead vocalist had Michael Jackson down perfect and Amber and Black Diamond were excellent performers. Some of our crowd were amazed with the lead guitarist's solo piece. It was impressive! I should have made a better effort to communicate a suggested songs from their website for them earlier so that they would have been able to have their play list set, but I didn't call them until the week before to tell them how our evening would be scheduled and they adapted very well and played the songs we so enjoyed dancing to for our fun,fun evening.

I just wanted to write a quick feedback for SoulPlay band that played at our wedding @ Bluewater Grill on 11/2/13. The band was simply incredible. They were very engaging with the audience and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. I can't tell you how many compliments were given to the band for our wedding; I wish they could all be passed along. They certainly made our night that much more special and I'm sure they picked up fans for future gigs in the future. All the best to the band.
Thanks again for a great night.

All I know is Soul Play was the best wedding band I've heard or seen live. They played everything I wanted to hear and everyone seemed to really be enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, I got hit with a stomach bug literally during the ceremony, spent most of the time hugging a toilet all night and wasn't able to eat or drink anything till the next day. However, that has nothing to do with Soul Play. Thanks so much for recommending them to us as it wouldn't have been the same without them. You and the rest of team/bands at EastCoast Entertainment are true professionals.

To follow up on our phone conversation the Soul Play band is just the best. As you know, we used them for my daughter's wedding reception party on Ocracoke Island this past weekend. The band arrived on time, set up quickly, and were ready to go well ahead of schedule. They were friendly, respectful and in a word, professional. The music chosen fit the occasion perfectly, the musicians were right on with the sound and the singers were just wonderful. I especially, along with the rest of the party, enjoyed the band's interaction with the wedding attendees. Everyone loved it. Again, in a word, the quality of entertainment was superb. I would and will recommend Soul Play highly.

Saturday night was great! Our students really enjoyed Soul Play. The music was great and they were very engaging with our students. We had one little issue with the Heartwood's sound system and the band was great in getting their equipment from their van and had the music up in just a few minutes.
I spoke with one of the women in the band and thanked her for a great job and told her I was going to email you today to book them for next year. Thanks again.

Soul Play was absolutely amazing. They played great music and were the perfect fit for our fraternity's event. Their song choices were really good and they truly made the event come together. Once the dance floor filled up they kept everyone out because we were having such a good time. Thank you for suggesting them and we will definitely be trying to use them again next year if it works out.

It went really well. The weather was a hassle and inconvenient, but there was still a great turnout and everyone had a great time. The band was great, I really enjoyed their performance and they were very professional. They were very accommodating and worked with the limited space and money we had at our disposal. All in all it was a very efficient performance, the crowd loved them, and they were a great partner for this event. Thanks for recommending them for us.
