Southern City Lights

went out of his way to help me figure out what kind of vibe we were going for and it exceeded all expectations. We definitely couldn’t have picked a better band for our reception!

y when to keep it low key as well. Truly want to help you make your vision come true! Highly recommend!

!! David was great from beginning to the end and we talked several times before the wedding . You will not be disappointed they are incredible and I wish I could give 10 stars !!

band! There were so many flexible options to choose from (4-piece, 5-piece, female vocalist, etc.) and they are affordable and easy to fit whatever your needs are! They sent out a questionnaire prior to the wedding date which made things super easy. They also let our ceremony musician borrow an extra speaker, which they didn't have to do but was much appreciated. David was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

t came to the entertainment part of the night. Our guests still talk about the band! I strongly encourage anyone looking for a great band to reach out to David and Southern City Lights, you will not regret it!

and if they don't know it, they will attempt to learn it for you! My husband and I wanted a song that wasn't on their normal list. They took the time to learn it, and it sounded perfect. We wanted a live band and we are so happy with our decision. Our guest couldn't get over how wonderful they were, and neither could we! Not to mention, we had to change our wedding date several time (my husband is in the Army) and they were so amazing with working with us and our coordinator. Hands down would recommend for any event!!

mance was exactly what we wanted. They also assisted another fire performer by pulling out a mobile speaker and hooking her music up for her show. Truly a great decision on our part to hire Southern City Lights for our daughter’s wedding reception.

I can not explain the delight of having David perform solo at our outdoor Welcome Party where he entertained everyone during the dinner and afterwards. The next evening, he and his band were set up in the wedding pavilion where they played before and after the ceremony. Then they really rocked out and got everyone up and dancing for the rest of the evening! This made our wedding so special and fun that we can't thank them enough. From the ease of scheduling the band to coordinating our playlist and then to the final note, Southern City Lights was the perfect band for our wedding and will be for yours as well. Thank you, David & Southern City Lights!

them all night! They can play any genre you need and they performed our ceremony too. It was beautiful!

for the ceremony, and the lead pianist did an amazing job playing the worship songs we requested. They also learned our first dance song with not much notice, which we appreciated so much! Overall incredible night and the band made it even better!

ed by their sound and their ability to sound consistently great in every different genre they played (not an easy feat!). David was very kind and responsive as we went over plans for the big picture down to all the important, little details. Despite the fact that my husband's and my song was not in their repertoire, they took the time to learn it and totally rocked it, which officially made the night for us, it was absolutely wonderful.

t their availability and when I got a response! He was always so fast to respond to emails, dumb questions, texts, and calls! Other bands we had talked with charged extra fees for emceeing the wedding (literally just for saying “here’s the first dance, now there’s cake cutting, let’s throw the bouquet, it’s last call”), for DJing between breaks, for special requests, for providing sound for the ceremony.. David so eagerly helped us do all of this at no extra cost! We had Southern City Lights do our ceremony music (guitar and violin) and reception (we got the 5 piece band) and it was amazing! The ceremony music was the perfect, volume, was clear, and was exactly what I had hoped! We asked David and the violinist to learn “let it go” by Passenger and “Ho Hey” by the Lumineers for our ceremony and it was better than any instrumental youtube cover we could find! They also learned Skinny Love by Bon Iver for our last dance in addition to doing a special request for our first dance and transitioning to a different song part way through! They were great about taking special requests throughout the night! Our wedding had 180 guests and the band and dance floor were set up under a 30 by 30 tent. They set up the sound system and lights and it lit the tent up like a party! Southern City Lights was such a great value and we are so appreciative of David and his bandmates! Hire them today, you won’t regret it!

ugh over the phone before the big day as well. He even changed up ALL the words to the Mother/Son first dance to accommodate us! We used only three band pieces but they made it sound like so much more, I can't even imagine how great their full set would be! David also played instrumental for our ceremony and learned all new songs to play while we walked down the aisle! Our friends and family had the BEST time and I've already gotten so many requests for his contact information from our guests! You can't go wrong with Southern City Lights!!

for us to enter to, and no opinion or idea on what types of musicians I needed. Luckily I stumbled accross Southen City Lights on The Knot, contacted David, and despite my somewhat odd request, were able to surpass all my expectations. He guided me through what type and how many musicians I probably needed, sent me a song list prior to the event, and I had multiple guests tell me how wonderful the reception music was. Totally recommended!

pace the flow of the evening. I had lots of guests tell me they were one of the best wedding bands they’d experienced! Our reception ran very late, and David also stayed after the time was up and played music from a playlist to keep the party going. I would definitely hire them again and would highly recommend them!

for any of your events!

o meet with us prior to the wedding. This showed my wife and I their commitment and dedication to us! It rained on the day of our wedding. However, that did not stop the band from playing in the rain. The music was pleasing to everyone. The band even had our crowd dancing! We were extremely honored to have them play at our wedding! You guys rock!

David, he was very informative and flexible about what he offered. I was more than pleased before we even hired him. The day of the wedding was amazing! He set up, played and took down everything on the time schedule we agreed upon. I had no worries before, during or after our wedding. Southern City Lights made it beautiful with their equipment set up, great music and lighting and interaction with the crowd. Thank you for making our wedding beautiful!!!!! -Andrea and Shane

timates we got but worth every penny. Flexibility wise, didn't freak out when the hotel messed up their booking and wanted to charge them. All around terrific band that helped make our wedding so much fun!
