Southern City Lights

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!

me plan where to set them up. We used them for the ceremony (classical) and for the reception and they were fantastic!

recommend to anyone looking for a great time at their wedding! A++

for our reception. They killed it! Our guests were up dancing all night. He even let a friend of mine join in for a Taylor Swift song and played my alma mater’s fight song! David also handled all of the MCing for us by making announcements and giving our guests direction. They made it so easy on me by not having to worry about those things.

d. They made sure that our big day was special and I could not have asked for more from a band. They let my dad sing with them!They accommodated us in every way possible. All of my guests loved them. They were very professional and friendly to everyone. David helped me plan the best flow and the night was great. Thank you so much for making our day so special!

were very pleased and very complimentary of the band, too. Overall, we were very satisfied with Southern City Lights, and we would be happy to book them for another event in the future.

covers I’ve ever heard! And they were so attentive to our wants and needs in terms of what to play to keep the party goin. Hoping to have an excuse to throw a party and have these guys play again! Will absolutely reccomend to friends and family.

le to pull it off in 24 hours thanks to the help of several vendors who donated their services. David Winkles volunteered to play our ceremony music, and it was absolutely perfect. We could never thank him enough for being apart of our special day and making sure we were both happy. If anyone is looking for a genuine and fantastic musician, David Winkles is the guy!

a nice guy. During the ceremony, as the Bride, I did 4 things. Kiss my new husband, dance, hug my guests, and answer the continuously asked question, " Where did you find this awesome band?". Southern City Lights played the best music all night long! They could read the crowd and know when to keep the music relaxed and when to crank it up. I can't thank them enough for the show they put on and the beautiful acoustics they played for the ceremony. This band is where it's at!!!!

nd reception, and they were excellent at both! I HIGHLY recommend!

east!) and I picked from there. They even offered to learn any special songs that we wanted! I cannot recommend them any more highly.

ue and special, and I definitely recommended them!
