Wedding Testimonials:
August, 2008
...Thanks to The Soul Sensations for your fabulous performance at our
wedding recently! First, let me tell you what a pleasure it was to work with
you. Your professionalism was second to none. Of all of the people we dealt with
in putting on this event, you were far and away the most responsive and
proactive. In fact, you were the only one who routinely called US about details,
rather than me having to chase people down. This in itself was a joy.
But this isn't about business, it is about the music! The set list was
superb, and the execution flawless. I cannot tell you all of the rave reviews I
have gotten, but "The band was incredible" has been a common refrain. It takes a
great deal of dedication to pull off such classic material with the energy and
precision that The Soul Sensations do. Perhaps the greatest compliment came from
our daughter, who asked: "Dad, how did you get the real people to play the
wedding?". She may only be 10, but she knows her Motown! And as a musician
myself, I can truly appreciate the skill with which you all perform.
...It was truly a joy, and everyone danced the night away with huge grins on their faces. As I said before, please do not hesitate to use us as a reference, we would be happy to tell others of our wonderful experience with The Soul Sensations. Here's to all of you for providing the rhythm to our special day!
Sincerely,
Jason Hunter & Alison Wright

June, 2010 The Soul Sensations are one of the best live bands we have ever heard,
anywhere. They completely blew away all our guests at our recent wedding,
and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. We had a very mixed crowd,
all ages, all different musical tastes, and everyone absolutely loved The Soul
Sensations. We received so many compliments throughout the night.
Guests ran up to us on the dance floor and after the party were over to tell us
how much they loved the band. They sounded fabulous; they are very
talented and very musically tight. The singers were incredible and had a
huge range. They even learned a song we requested and completely rocked it
out. The Soul Sensations truly made our wedding reception into a
party. We can’t recommend them enough. Camille and Dan

To anyone who is looking for a fun, professional, and great-sounding band, we recommend the Soul Sensations without reservation. The music was excellent - and musically very tight. They rolled into number after number without a hiccup. At one point we had so many people dancing the floor was shaking. Our wedding was the second for both of us, and we had a wide range of ages among the guests, including many children 7-18, as well as grandparents, and everyone in between. Dan Belmont worked with us to quickly get a set list that was fun for everyone, with a real groove. Last, for those of you who worry about the details, these folks were easy-going and accommodated a last minute change of venue, with an acoustically tough room. They were courteous, very well dressed, they showed up on time, and set up ready to dance. We would hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a great, professional band that is not "screamers" or hard rockers, but loaded with energy and soul.

To The Soul Sensations,
First and foremost, thank you for performing at our August 14th wedding! From The Jazz Sensations during the cocktail hour, to The Soul Sensations during dinner and dancing, you guys rocked the house! Our guests were incredibly impressed with your level of professional skill and showmanship and Kevin and I couldn't have been happier with your performance. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end and even now, more than a month since our wedding, we're still getting compliments on the band!
Our wedding encompassed a huge range of guests, from our parents and grandparents, to foreign friends and peers. Every one hit the dance floor and once there, few left. Your energy and enthusiasm were contagious.
From a planning perspective, you were great to work with and more than met every expectation we had in terms of communication. In addition to all the pre-wedding back-and-forth, the night of the wedding was a seamless event in large part due to your ability to help (gently) remind us of timing and planned moments.
Thank you so much for such a great musical experience. We won't soon forget it!
Sincerely,
Trina & Kevin Quandt (Bride &
Groom)

Thank you so much for your amazing performance at our wedding reception. Having never heard The Soul Sensations play live before, we honestly weren’t sure exactly what to expect, but in the end your performance totally blew us away. You sounded great and set the perfect tone for the evening – in fact, every single guest we spoke to, both young and old, commented on how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing to your set list.
Now that all is said and done, we know how overwhelming putting a wedding together can be, and that’s why we’re recommending every we know who is planning one to hire you... we know they won’t be disappointed!
Hope to hear you again soon!

We asked The Soul Sensations to perform for our wedding in
Vermont, and they absolutely ROCKED IT! Their song selection was terrific and
their entertainment value was awesome. They gave an incredible performance from
start to finish. People were jumping out of their chairs and dancing all night
long. We would recommend The Soul Sensations for any wedding.

The Soul Sensations… What can I say? They were awesome. They kept the entire reception on their feet. The dancing simply would not stop. They were the best wedding band I’ve seen in a long time; they were way better than any DJ.
We had a wedding in our family just a couple months before my own and although their food was amazing, everybody loved the choice of music at ours. We heard all night about how The Soul Sensations were incredible. The recent bride told us that she had a better time at our wedding than her own, and it was all due to The Soul Sensations.
Thanks again guys,

Having The Soul Sensations perform at our wedding was one of the best choices we could have made! We found them on the internet and immediately booked them “blind”. They were very responsive and professional via e-mail and their enthusiasm really came through. Since we had only heard their song sampler, we drove to one of their gigs in Berlin, CT, and after only one song, we knew that we had chosen a highly talented and entertaining group. After we saw that amazing performance, we became a little concerned in the opposite direction, since the venue where our wedding was planned—the Harvard Faculty Club—was tiny compared to the venue that they were playing at that night. However, after they set up and started the first set (jazz music during dinner), it was clear that their experience and talent make them a perfect fit for any size audience. The Soul Sensations really kept our guests entertained, everyone loved them and we got many many compliments about their performance; in fact, many of our friends who don’t usually dance were on the dance floor all night long. The Soul Sensations helped make our wedding even more enjoyable than we had imagined!
Once again, thank you so much for everything, we really had a great time and we will recommend you to anyone we know who might need a band.

I really can't emphasize how perfect you guys were Saturday night. You
just absolutely killed it for several amazing sets.
I also can't
quantify the number of people who came up to me at the end of the night or even
in the middle to ask how I found you because you guys were so fantastic. Despite
us having been to a bunch of great weddings over the past few years, everyone
agreed this was the best dance party they'd ever been to.
We will
be more than happy to serve as very enthusiastic references for anyone thinking
about hiring you.
With much thanks and admiration,

The Soul Sensations performed for our July 10th Wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine. We were thoroughly pleased with their sound, their talent as instrumentalists, and their professionalism. Both vocalists were spectacular in their performance, they kept our guests dancing and smiling. One of the hotel guests later told us that the music was so good that it had them dancing in their room. We would highly recommend The Soul Sensations to anyone wanting great Motown music or in need of highly skilled jazz musicians. The band set the perfect mood for our once in a lifetime wedding party.

Dan:
We apologize for how long it has taken us to thank you, and the rest of The Soul Sensations, for the wonderful job you did at our wedding! Your music energized the reception, and your energy and enthusiasm helped get everyone out on the dance floor! Your set list appealed to a wide range of ages -- nobody felt "left out" by the music. We were so pleased to watch all of our guests enjoy themselves the reception, and your music played a big part in ensuring that everyone had a great time.
We also really appreciated your willingness to work with us to help get all the little details right. We didn't want the band to play a "Master of Ceremonies" role during the reception, and you respected our requests while also helping us move things along at just the right times.
Thanks again, and please know that we would be happy to
recommend you to anyone looking for a band for a wedding or other event.
All the best,

To Whom It May Concern:
My wife and I hired The Soul Sensations for our wedding on May 30, 2009. As I was a bit picky about the sort of music I wanted for our party as well as about the quality of the musicians, only a few bands sufficed. My choice for The Soul Sensations was based on their (apparent) ability to capture the groove and feel of every song they covered, their quality vocalists, and the very reasonable price tag.
The fact that we had to arrange our wedding from The Netherlands, where we live, made it even more difficult to fine tune all the details concerning the music (among lots of things). However, Mr. Daniel Belmont did an excellent job taking away our concerns, assisting us – by e-mail – through every step of the way.
In case you are worried about the fact that their web site contains only studio samples: they perform just as well live. In fact, they rock! They really got the party going right away, and were able to keep our guests on the dance floor until the last song was over. We cannot even remember how many people asked us where on Earth we had found this band, and told us they were just great. Even the photographer, who surely has seen his share of live cover bands, congratulated us on our choice!
In short, The Soul Sensations would make an excellent pick for your wedding party, as well as probably any party. They were really helpful from the outset, and play and sing very well.

The Soul Sensations played at our wedding reception in Lisbon, New Hampshire on June 26, 2010. It was a perfect performance with one jazz-trio set during cocktail hour and then 3 more sets of Motown, R&B and rock classics.
The band was perfect for us. Their three singers are very good and the rhythm section was tight. Every one of our guests remarked at how much they loved the band.
The band arrived on-schedule, and was set up before the ceremony to avoid any distraction. They were very considerate and accommodated our song requests and our no-play list.
All in all, the Soul Sensations are professional, talented, cooperative and reasonably priced. We recommend them without reservation.
Sincerely,
Albert Howes & Lyne Riel
