MAINSTREET SOUL

What a wonderful job Mainstreet Soul did for my daughters wedding, the dance floor was packed the entire evening. Very professional and fun to work with. They were so accommodating to learn and play a few specials songs for us. Highly recommend them for your event.

Maintstreet Soul was absolutely amazing at our summer 2023 wedding! Not only were the musicians phenomenal, but the variety of music had everyone of all ages dancing! The director Jim was great to work with leading up to the big day, and the entire band was a class act! All three of our dances were performed by the band, and their special touch and wonderful lead singer really made our first dance special; I thought that the real Alicia Keys was singing live just for us! If you're looking for extremely talented musicians; a professional, big horn sound; and a group that will keep everyone on the dance floor all night, then look no further! Guests continue to rave about how extraordinary the band was and some even claim that it was the highlight of the reception. If I could do it all over again, I would select Maintreet soul again in a heartbeat!

Mainstreet Soul did such an amazing job at our wedding! They were easy going, professional, and were patient with us. They took our individual requests into account and were able to make last minute additions. They did a really great job MCing the wedding and made transitions between speeches, first dances, and songs seamless. They are incredibly interactive with the audience and their presence really contributed to the atmosphere of the wedding.

Everyone we spoke to said Main Street Soul made the party. Highly professional and very attentive to our needs. Would HIGHLY recommend this band.

We had Mainstreet Soul play at our wedding, and they were AMAZING! From start to finish, their performance knocked our socks off. Everyone was on the dance floor, having the time of their lives, and I had so many people come up to me to say how fantastic they thought the band was. They made our special day that much more special, and I am so grateful because everyone is going to remember how much fun they had at our wedding for years to come.

My wife and I first heard Main Street Soul at a family wedding summer of 2018 and immediately knew that once we were going plan our wedding-they were our top must-have for the big day. While we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID in early 2020, one of the first things we had prioritized was making sure we had Jim and the crew for our eventual big day. As stressful as planning a rescheduled wedding was, Jim and Main Street Soul kept us upbeat a excited throughout many ups and downs.  Jim was the main point of contact through the entire process and he helped make the weeks leading up to our wedding go by as stress free as possible. During our reception, there were seldom people not on the dancefloor. At one point, Aaron's rendition of "Shout!" absolutely brought the house down and quite literally stopped me in my tracks. The reception was a nonstop party and months later we still have relatives coming up to us raving about the day, "especially that band!" Reflecting back on the wedding, we have many love filled memories that we cherish about the big day, and we can certainly say that Main Street Soul was at the heart of many of those memories. To all couples looking for a band for their big day, or even if you just want to throw the party of the year, look no further-you've found your band.

I am a planner + coordinator based in Grand Rapids and I work with a LOT of bands and Mainstreet Soul got people out of their seats and onto the DANCE FLOOR! Working with Jim beforehand was a breeze, he was responsive, great communication and ebbed and flowed with the day. 100/10 recommend Mainstreet Soul for your next event!

The best band you can hire across the board. Main Street soul is only option for hiring a band. Jim was incredible so was entire group.

Main Street Soul kept the dance floor full the entire reception! They had great energy and sounded amazing. They were extremely responsive and helpful in planning and provided great insight into the flow of the reception. They were great with song choices and learned our first dance song for us! We cannot recommend them enough for any great party.

Booking Mainstreet Soul was honestly the best decision we made for our wedding! We knew that we wanted a large band for our big day, and Mainstreet Soul was easy to work with from start to finish. SO many people came up to us throughout the night complimenting us on how amazing the band was. A friend texted me post-wedding to say that they've never been to a wedding where 95% of people there were on the dance floor. Everyone had so much fun, and it was all thanks to the amazing band! They were extremely professional during the planning process, were very quick to respond, and were flexible when we needed to make updates to our plans for the day. We not only used the band for our reception, but had Jim (band lead) DJ the ceremony and emcee the reception/speeches and all went SO smoothly. The band during the reception were truly amazing. They learned our first dance song for us, and then played songs from their song list for our bride/father dance and groom/mother dance. My dad even coordinated with Jim so he could sing a song with the band, and Jim was so kind communicating directly with my dad ahead of the wedding to make this happen. It was an unforgettable moment! The band was amazing at feeling out the crowd and playing songs that fit the moment. We told the band a few songs we wanted to hear from their song list, and let them feel out the rest. Song highlights: "Bang Bang" - we were bowing down to the singers after this because they were SO talented (better than the original song!); "Dancing Queen" - it was so fun dancing with my husband and parents to this one; "I Will Survive" - our entire family was SO happy and hype during this one. All in all, if you're thinking of booking Mainstreet Soul, DO IT! They're the best.

Mainstreet Soul made our night! Jim, the band leader, was amazing to work with and made sure that all of our wishes were accounted for including playing some traditional Greek and Romanian songs for dancing during the band breaks. Our dance floor was packed all night and their energy kept the party going until the venue was kicking us out. 10/10 would recommend - worth every penny. THANK YOU Mainstreet Soul!

Raving reviews from wedding guests! We knew we wanted Main Street Soul over any other band at our daughter's wedding. We made the best decision with Main Street Soul and could not have been happier. You cannot go wrong! Phenomenal!

This band is incredible! They played at our wedding and made it such an amazing evening. From the incredible music, to the impeccable hosting of our wedding reception, Main Street Soul was incredible. Working with them to help set up for our wedding was superb as well, they knew exactly what needed to be done. They even surprised us by learning a song by The Beatles, which is my (the groom) favorite band. I cannot recommend Main Street Soul enough!

Mainstreet Soul performed at our wedding on 7/9/2022 and to say they were incredible would be an understatement. Communication in the preparation stage was always quick and clear. They were able to accommodate all our special dance songs and rocked the house for the rest of the set. If you can you HAVE to book Mainstreet Soul for your event!

If you want everyone to be up dancing at your wedding book Mainstreet soul now!! Everyone, and I truly mean EVERYONE, was up dancing at our wedding. Even my 97 year old great aunt was dancing the night away. We couldn't be happier with how the night went and would call them again in a second if we ever need a band again. Communication, planning and actual day of was great. There isn't one thing that could be improved upon.

Mainstreet soul was incredible at our wedding. They kept the dance floor full all night long and I was sad to see that they had to stop playing to go home for the night. They were everything you could want and more!

This band is amazing and worth every penny! We have used them for 2 weddings this year, and we hope to use them for 2 more in the future! They will exceed your expectations!

An absolutely amazing band! Our guests are still talking about their performance at our reception. They made our reception the most fun dance party! So great to work with as well.

Main Street Soul just did our 5/21/22 wedding and we truly could not have imagined a more incredible experience. They were spectacular and we are still receiving compliments weeks later. The night was beyond fun and they are extremely talented. Their energy and talent blew my mind and I’m so, so, so happy we hired them for our wedding.

Best. Band. Ever. We were referred to this band through a friend and they did not disappoint. At first I was nervous to book a band that I had never heard in person, but those doubts were crushed immediately. As soon as I heard them warming up I was blown away. They did a great job with everything they played! They were easy to get a hold of via email or phone and they did everything we asked - even playing a few extra songs at the end of the night. They seriously made our wedding night what it was. Without them I would not have had a full dance floor all night long.

The band was incredible! They made the party. They read the room and knew exactly the music that was required. We would hire them again, immediately.

Mainstreet Soul blew our expectation out of the water. One of our most important expenses was the band for our wedding day and MSS did not disappoint. We received so many compliments from our guests and danced the entire night. Our photographer told us she's never seen the dance floor so packed. They listened to all of our requests and were accommodating during the months leading up, including attending a site visit. We can't thank Jim and the rest of the band for making our wedding unforgettable. You will not regret hiring them for your wedding!

This band is absolutely incredible. I was fortunate enough to have them play at my wedding and their performance made it a night to remember. They have such a diverse set of songs, ranging from classic 50's hits to contemporary music. The energy they bring is contagious and everyone there was out on the dance floor. The band leader Jim is a great guy and makes the reservation process easy. The band members and singers are incredibly kind as well. I highly, highly recommend this band. They're outstanding.

Mainstreet Soul played at our son's wedding reception in November and they are The. Best. Band. Ever! All the guests danced the night away and we received many compliments! Several of our friends said it felt like they were at a concert. The brass section and vocals are exceptional! We would highly recommend MainStreet Soul!

Absolutely amazing performance at our wedding. The band brought great energy the entire night! The dance floor was packed!

If we could rate Mainstreet Soul 10 stars, we would! They kept the party going for our Fall Festival all night long and played something for everyone!

Mainstreet Soul knows how to throw a party. Hire these guys and gals! Seriously the best, and all our guests completely agreed. Dance floor was full of people the entire time.

Mainstreet Soul had an amazing performance for our event! Everyone was up dancing, the sound was great, the band was energetic and engaging! I will definitely hire them again, they were everything I was looking for.

Mainstreet Soul was everything I could have ever wanted from a band and MORE!! Their manager Jim arranged phone calls with me to go over everything and paid attention to every detail. They brought an electric and inviting energy to the entire event. They learned and performed our first dance song which was so special and perfectly done. They played music that kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! We received so many compliments regarding their talent! Definitely book them for your wedding or party!

Mainstreet Soul was a new band hired to preform at the Brighton Kiwanis Millpond Concerts. The band was outstanding, great vocals, brass and all around band. The concert goers started dancing with their first song and dancing continued for two hours. The comments from the concert goers was "bring them back"

This band killed it. Our dance floor was full the entire wedding and they played a great mixture of Motown and modern jams. I've had multiple guests ask about the band in the few days following the wedding. Apart from being great musicians with lots of energy, the band director made planning smooth and easy. He was prepared, organized and could easily double as a wedding planner himself!

What a blast!!! Mainstreet Soul played for our backyard wedding on a small lake. They were Incredible!! Guests young and old danced right to the very end. The dance floor was packed for every song. Our guests were yelling "Encore" at the end, and they even played one extra fabulous song for us. Neighbors from around the lake came over to dance with us. One neighbor told me he called his son in Washington State and held out the phone so he could hear them playing. My neighbors told me it was the best party the lake ever had, thanks to Mainstreet Soul. My 81 year old dad made a point of thanking the band personally, he was so impressed, and he is the most stoic man alive, lol. Guests and neighbors have asked me for the band's contact information. If you want the best wedding ever, hire Mainstreet Soul. On top of being the most fun you will ever have, the band is very professional. The band director, Jim, is wonderful to work with. He met with us before the wedding to go over a questionnaire that covers everything one could think of for a wedding. He provided a microphone for our presider we hadn't thought of. He even checked again during the event if we really still wanted to just be introduced with an unconventional "Joe and Deb" rather than the traditional "Mr. and Mrs." Five stars isn't enough to describe this band, they are 10 stars all the way.

If you want everyone on the dance floor at your wedding, Mainstreet Soul is the BEST band for you! We were never able to hear them play live prior to our wedding due to COVID, but that was not a problem at all. All of our guests are still asking us about how we found such an incredible band, and many (including ourselves) are saying it is by far the best wedding band they have ever heard. Mainstreet Soul is a blast to work with, are extremely professional, and will go above and beyond to ensure your wedding or event is unforgettable. Don't think twice, book Mainstreet Soul - you will not be disappointed!

Book this band! Don’t hesitate... just do it. I spent time researching and going to see different bands to book for my wedding. I seen about 5 bands perform and choose Mainstreet Soul for my wedding. They were OUTSTANDING. The dance floor was packed start to end! Everyone raved about the band! If you are still hesitating then let me give you some reasons to book them. 1.) They are talented performers 2.) They were professional, nice and energetic! 3.) The band leader is very detailed oriented and organized. He was flexible with day of changes I made and was able to provide opinions since they have done so many weddings! 4.) The band leader is a wonderful MC! He was loud and respectful! 5.) My guests danced the WHOLE time. 6.) The band is super interactive and play throughout the crowd. It got people excited and more people to the dance floor. 7.) The MC kept our timing in mind and checked in with me 8.) Their song list was great for all age groups. 9.) They take limited breaks, but this is a great chance to pick your favorite songs that they don’t perform. 10) During a set break the playlist I made was loud and they made the transition flawless 11.) They get everyone engaged! Book them!

The MainStreet Soul band was out of this world!!! They truly made our night unforgettable. We had about 300 people at our wedding and the band kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! No one wanted to take a dancing break. They were so easy to work with and all of my friends wanted their contact information to use them for their weddings in the future. I would HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for a lively time. They really made our wedding night unforgettable!

Mainstreet Soul blew us away on our wedding day. From our opening intros to our last dance, they did an excellent job of reading the vibe of the audience and getting everybody on the dance floor. Whether it was Rick James, Bruno Mars, or my dad’s favorite Pitbull 😂 , they kept the party going the whole night and knew when it was right to slow it down. Not to mention… these guys can really play! Vocals, guitar, horns, drums… everybody in the band is a pro at what they do. They really helped set the tone for our perfect day. 10/10

Mainstreet was awesome! They listened to everything that we wanted and had every guest on the dance floor while they were playing. Would definitely book them again in the future. Thank you!

Main Street Soul is a great Band! They are a lot of fun and keep the dance floor full all night long. I couldn't have been happier with them!

As the groom there were three things I was concerned with at our wedding. People really only remember three things from a wedding - did it take a long time to get drinks? Was the food good? How was the music? Mainstreet Soul absolutely delivered. Our wedding had many changes and these guys were a constant throughout. We communicated with Jim multiple times leading up to the event, and he made us feel comfortable and confident. Two days before our wedding the venue changed the time the band could play to, and Jim immediately sprung into action redoing the plan so they could play as much as possible. Weeks after the wedding we are still hearing how much everyone loved the band - including the venue! The dance floor was never empty and we could have not asked for more. Thank you, Mainstreet Soul!

Mainstreet Soul was absolutely AMAZING! I would highly recommend them for any event. I hired them for my wedding and they did not disappoint. Jim, the band leader, was so nice and great to work with, I could tell he truly cared about his band and his music. The music at my wedding just MADE THE NIGHT! Everyone was dancing and loving the energy they brought to the room. To have gone through a Covid wedding planning experience, I was so happy to have hired Mainstreet Soul, they truly made my wedding a night we'll never forget!

We hired Mainstreet Soul for our annual company party. They were AMAZING. Our theme was disco, and they came prepared with a setlist to fit the theme - but also included many current and popular favorites, which was great! They kept the party going all night, the dance floor was never empty. We highly recommend Mainstreet Soul for any event!

Loved this band for our wedding! Not only are they musically talented, they're amazing at reading the crowd and getting people on the dance floor. We received so much positive feedback from our guests - all ages! (This was really important to us as we wanted to include everyone on the dance floor.) All of this being said- they are FUN and it's clear that they love what they do. Book them!

Mainstreet Soul was absolutely incredible for our wedding. Not only was the music amazing and our guests burned the floor from dancing so much, but we really appreciated the service and thoughtfulness from Jim and team. We were planning our wedding from out of town and Jim set up time to meet with us during a short fly-in. They had everything set for us and even played a beautiful, jazzy version of our first-dance song. Would highly, highly, highly recommend this band and hope I get to see them again sometime soon!

Mainstreet Soul completely made our wedding. No one left the dance floor the entire night. They do a fantastic job of keeping everyone entertained to ensure everyone enjoys your wedding night. I can not recommend them enough!
