"We more or less planned our wedding date around Big Soul Beats' availability…and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. They were so easy to deal with from the off and nothing was ever too much trouble. We added in a saxophonist and keyboard for the canapés fairly last minute and it was no problem at all and really added a bit extra to the drinks and canapés. Everything from our entrance, our first dance and the whole evening were incredible. We were asked what sort of vibe we wanted and went for a party vibe and Big Soul Beats brought it. The dance floor was full for the entire night and everyone has commented on how good the band were. I couldn’t recommend them any more and they genuinely made our wedding so incredibly special."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We hired Big Soul Beats for our wedding in July and they were absolutely amazing! The whole team were really helpful through the booking and planning process, it was really easy and stress-free. The band were excellent on the day, everyone was up and dancing the night away! Would 10/10 recommend these guys to anyone planning a wedding or event!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We used Big Soul Beats for our wedding and they were fantastic. The thing about a large soul & funk band is that everyone, old or young, enjoys the music and can dance to it. They make a great sound and are very flexible with your requests - they even learned a song to play as our first dance. I can't recommend highly enough!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Few words can explain how fantastic Big Soul Beats were at our wedding. Every single guest gushed about their engaging, expert and exciting performance. They made the whole day perfect and I think we will still be talking about them when we’re celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary! Thanks to all of the band and those working seamlessly behind to ensure the day went fantastically."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"I hired Big Soul Beats to perform at a corporate event my company was hosting. The event was in Istanbul so I had the tough decision of hiring a local band or flying over a band from the UK and I was extremely happy with my decision to fly them over. The band were extremely professional when it came to putting the playlist together, charismatic when interacting with the crowd and went above and beyond on the night! They created the perfect party atmosphere, with the dance floor never empty! The crowd were left screaming ‘we want more’ and as the event organiser, I couldn’t have been happier. Big Soul Beats were everything I was looking for and more! I would choose them again and again and would recommend anyone thinking about hiring them - to just do it! You won't be disappointed! Thank you once again for such a fabulous performance!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Thank you so much to Big Soul Beats for an absolutely amazing night last night for my daughter’s wedding! I had so many people asking the name of the band and saying how great they were! You really made it a special evening and got people up on the dance floor, enjoying themselves! Thanks again, and I’ll be recommending you to anyone looking for a party band."

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Big Soul Beats blew us away!! They were great! They got all their gear loaded in really promptly, no fuss, and they were enormously talented... one of the only weddings we have ever seen where the dance floor was packed all night. They were very reasonably priced considering the quality of the music, and they were all very nice too! Excellent."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Big Soul Beats were incredible and exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. They were so easy to contact and were able to play all of our music requests. We won’t hesitate to book again in future!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Big Soul Beats were absolutely brilliant. We had a duo during the wedding reception drinks and then the full band in the evening. The dance floor was full from start to finish. Their energy was unreal and couldn't recommend them more highly!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"We booked Big Soul Beats through FixTheMusic. They were absolutely unbelievable!! We loved them and we have had so many comments from our guests to say how amazing the band was and how great the wedding was.

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Absolutely fantastic group. We hired Big Soul Beats for our wedding after seeing them at a friend's wedding last year. Brilliant performance, top quality and really good choice of songs. Would definitely, and will definitely, recommend them!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Big Soul Beats were an incredible band for our wedding in Sussex on 2nd September 2023. The band arrived on time, had great communication beforehand, and had really thought about their playlist to suit our tastes. It was amazing how responsive they were to the audience, the lead guitarist was great at chatting to everyone dancing and they adapted songs based on kids being around which was so sweet of them. The way they remixed songs together was incredible, I wish we could buy an album of their sets from our wedding it was so perfect. The vocals were amazing and the sound quality was really great. The dance floor was full all night and loads of friends and family asked for their details, including one of the brides’ mums - I don’t know when she might be throwing a party but if so she’ll definitely be booking Big Soul Beats! They played our first dance live and it’s a moment I’ll never forget, so amazing. Thank you Big Soul Beats! Seriously book this band for your wedding or party - they were awesome!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"You and the band killed it yesterday!!! Thank you for making our party so special. Everyone was saying how much they loved you guys. Til next time! Jaymin and Joanna."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Big Soul Beats played at my daughter's wedding and were totally brilliant. Professional, no fuss setting up, friendly, but above all, a fantastic band! Loved the way they segued into each tune. I cannot recommend them enough and if we have another date where a live band is required, I can't imagine booking anyone else. Outstanding!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"This band is absolutely amazing!! Great show and music - they interacted with the audience so well! Big Soul Beats performed at my work conference, and afterwards, I was lucky enough to meet the whole band."
