Total Soul

I love Total Soul. Jeff and the rest of the gang made our wedding perfect. Everyone LOVED the music, and we were on the dance floor the entire night! I can't say enough about how awesome this band is - I highly recommend having them at your wedding!

Dear Jeff, The music that “Total Soul” put out is incredible and it shows both the dedication and chemistry involved. Your ability to bridge generations between fabulous Motown and classic R and B and rock and roll from years past, with the pop and top 40 of today is amazing I am not blowing smoke, as I have personally been a big fan of Motown and beach music for a long time, but you guys consistently perform those songs as well or better than the original artists. All of the vocalists, male and female, without exception, are amazing. Each one contributes in different ways but all incredibly talented. The timing and quality of your back up musicians---horns, keyboard, guitar, percussion, is also, frankly, pretty amazing. Because of my work, I attend and have attended many corporate functions and large parties, with some good bands, often in Las Vegas. I have also been lucky to attend some wonderful weddings with good music. However, when it comes to putting out music that people love to dance to, with the energy that you guys perform it, no band that I have heard cranks it up better than you guys. These sentiments were echoed, in some form, by so many of our gusts who danced the night away with you guys. Travelling from New York to Sarasota, Florida, on little sleep, to perform on the beach, with the amazing stage set up and sound and equipment backup of the size that was there, was amazing. The logistics of providing for and having ready all of the equipment had to present challenges but it was all seamless. Coordinating the music to the fireworks, going out of your way to learn a couple of songs that we asked be played that I can’t possibly be on anyone’s playlist, (and then performing them so well ) were all just part of what made the night so special. Your particular hard work, to put it all together, went above and beyond. Many have no idea of the time and organization needed to pull it all off the way you did. Thank you so much to you and everyone in the band who make Total Soul so special. We will never forget this past Saturday. Paul

Hiring Total Soul was the BEST DECISION we made during wedding planning! We originally saw the band at a friend's wedding two years before. As soon as we got engaged, we knew we wanted to hire them. Despite the fact that they are from NY and our wedding was in Philadelphia, they had no problem traveling. From the start, Jeff was so receptive to my emails. We were engaged for 17 months and during that time, Jeff happily responded to my (many) emails and questions. Total Soul was so flexible! They were even happy to make changes when we requested different songs only a week before the wedding - they are truly AMAZING. The amount of energy they brought to our dance floor was unreal! We had people dancing the ENITRE time and their music was popular for people of all ages. So many of our guests have told us that they've never seen a wedding with so much dancing and said that Total Soul was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding! Their value is too good to be true - similar bands in our area are charging upwards of $12,000! Thank you Total Soul - you are very highly recommended by us!

Total Soul was awesome! Jeff is so responsive to emails and calls which made the planning process very easy. They were willing to learn a song I requested with only a couple of weeks to go to my wedding, and did an amazing job performing it. Since my wedding a lot of my guests have mentioned how much they enjoyed our band.

We hired Total Soul for our 6/26 wedding . They came highly recommended by one of the groomsman. We wanted our guests dancing all night long , and that is exactly what happen. Jeff and Total Soul were very professional. Our guests can't stop talking about how great they were.

Where do I even begin?! One of my bridesmaids recommended Total Soul to me because they played at two of her cousin's weddings. After looking at their videos on their site, I contacted them and when I told them how I heard of the band, they immediately remembered the other 2 weddings- that was telling to me. Jeff Dieterle (the trombone player and main contact) was so personable and easy to talk with on the phone or via email- always reachable and responded quickly which was very important to me. Our wedding guests are still talking about Total Soul from our wedding 3 weeks ago! I am a singer and asked them months before the wedding to learn a song I wanted to perform with them. Without batting an eye, they learned it and we rocked out together. BOOK Total Soul for your wedding NOW! They are a motown, rock band with some Top 40s songs on their list as well. They have horns and percussion, several singers and they put on a show with lights and cordless mics as they hit the dancefloor to rock with your guests. Such an awesome band!!

All I can say is WOW! I STILL have people telling me how amazing Total Soul was! They are incredibly talented musicians and they have a great time doing what they do. Jeff, the band leader, was so patient in helping me plan a play list. They played everything we wanted and went above and beyond. The singers come onto the dance floor with the guests to really get the party started. I can't even remember sitting down during my wedding because we danced the night away! This band is fantastic! Book them!

We had Total Soul play at our wedding, and let me tell you, they were amazing! People are still talking about how great our band was, 5 months later! From the second they started playing, until the end of the night, the dace floor was packed! Their are also very reasonable with their pricing!

We absolutely loved our band, Total Soul. Our guests also could not stop telling us how much they loved the band and how much fun they had at our wedding. Our contact ahead of the wedding date was Joe, and he was definitely a pleasure to work with, and very accomodating. I actually chose this band because I had heard them play at a charity function a couple of years ago, and recalled how great they were then - and knew that if they were available, that I would book them for my wedding one day. We are very happy with how it all turned out!
