£3,865 - £5,120 + TravelSoul Motion seamlessly bring the iconic sound of Motown Records right into the 21st Century. This is a glamour-laden, sumptuous soul showband of the very highest calibre.
Elegant and chic with a deft touch of 60’s flash. Soul Motion are a serious soul showband with genuine star quality.
“The booking process was very efficient and easy to follow. The band created a great atmosphere with the choice of music and the quality of their performance. They engaged with the audience and ensured that the dance floor was continually full, creating a great atmosphere. The 2 singers were especially good and approachable. Everyone really enjoyed their sets and the DJ sections also.”
Sue & Kevin - Wedding, Wildhive Callow Hall, Ashbourne, Derbyshire“I need to feedback to you about Soul Motion who performed at our wedding in Bristol on Saturday. Immense! They were incredible! The band are and were sensational! Please can you personally message them and thank them. They are beautiful people, incredible musicians and we loved it! I’m a bit lost for words.”
Anna-Marie & James - Wedding, Paintworks, Bristol“We just wanted to say a huge thank you to the band! The dance floor was packed all night and they were sensational! We had the best night ever!”
Jenny & Alexander - Wedding, Mandarin Oriental, London“Nathan and I would like to extend our gratitude to Soul Motion for playing to our wedding guests. They were honestly amazing - the dance floor was full all night and they read the room so perfectly. A lot of the guests were musicians (so a tough crowd) and they were totally blown away by the talent on show. We really could not have asked for more and have passed the relevant details on to everyone who asked. They created the exact vibe that we wanted for our reception and we couldn't be more grateful.”
Sarah & Nathan - Wedding, Beamish Hall, County Durham“The band were wonderful - everyone loved them and were asking me where I found them. Thank you. They were also friendly and nice - as well as amazing performers. Thank you!”
Jessica & Thomas - Wedding, Roughton Hall, Lincolnshire“Everything was amazing last Saturday and the couple were super happy about Soul Motion! The whole band was very accommodating and I hope they also enjoyed working with us!”
Sarah - Wedding, Hotel Borgo San Felice, Italy“I can't stress enough how good the band was, they had the party going all night and the dance floor was filled the whole time, they made our evening so special. Please pass on my thanks to the band and I hope they had a lovely Christmas break.”
Jake - Wedding, Hyde House, Gloucestershire“Right from the beginning of planning our wedding, we knew that our main priority was finding the right band for us. We can confirm that we 100% made the right decision because Soul Motion were exactly what we wanted, incredibly talented and kept me (the bride) dancing all night!! We can’t thank you enough for helping make our day the best we could ever imagine. Would highly recommend to anyone so we will definitely be speaking about the band for forever!”
Amie & Joseph - Wedding, Village Hotel, Nottinghamshire“5/5 Thank you so much to Soul Motion for performing brilliantly at our wedding. We thought you were fantastic and completely exceeded our expectations in your performance and our guests completely agreed – we received only glowing comments about how good you were both on the day and afterwards. Thank you for learning our first dance song and playing it beautifully. We also really appreciated that you quietly and politely kept us updated (and to schedule) on the day and that you made sure we had enough time to get through all your set – and thank you for welcoming some unexpected guest interaction!”
Frances & Gareth - Wedding, Elmore Court, Gloucestershire“There isn't much to say other than.....Soul Motion were AMAZING! The absolute life of the party; pure magic and our day wouldn't have been the same without them. When I say our guests didn't want them to finish playing (ourselves very much included!), they REALLY didn't want them to stop...we even had one guest try to pay them more money to keep playing. Utterly fabulous and I imagine there were a lot of sore feet, and tired voices the morning after! Thank you so much for all the help and support in the build-up to our day, and please pass the above message on to the band. After a very hard year for so many, they were effortless in allowing us all to let our hair down and have an incredible time. Myself and Harry will never forget the incredible performance they gave, and we already want to get married all over again, just for the dancing!”
Olivia & Harry - Wedding, Private Address, Surrey“We're just back from Honeymoon and wanted to say a huge thank you, the band were absolutely amazing from start to finish and we had so many guests saying how fantastic they were. It really made our party having the dance floor full all evening.”
Katy - Wedding, Stapleford Park, Leicestershire“The band were brilliant - everybody loved the music and commented on how good they were. We’d certainly book them again!”
Steve - Corporate Event, Nottingham
Absolutely! We have been performing at weddings and events for several years and have an infectious live show that guarantees a packed dance floor and a party that you and your guests will remember for years to come! Our repertoire features the biggest soul and Motown hits along with modern day party starters, so there's certainly something for everyone.
We are happy to perform one special request for you - for weddings this is usually the first dance. You can also let us know your top 10 preferences from the repertoire, as well as send up to 30 requests for the disco - so you can be sure to hear all your favourites on the evening.
Up to 90 minutes. If you are organising a wedding or event where the evening reception is in the same room as your meal, we often arrive to set-up while the room is turned around - we can have background music playing within around 30 minutes of load in.
At a time to suit your event, standard prices are for 2 hours of live music, any time between 7pm and midnight.
We perform 2 x 60-minute live sets (or 3 x 40 minutes) in the evening and also provide a pre-mixed disco (tailored to your tastes) before and after live sets, so your whole night of entertainment is covered in one booking.
The pre-mixed DJ service is where the band put on a bespoke playlist (you can request up to 30 songs in advance for this) through the PA before and after their live sets. We do this at most events and it works great - the volume of the music would be the same as if you had a DJ.
If you upgrade to the live DJ service, you can still send over preferences in advance, but you will also have a band member selecting and mixing tracks live on the night, as well as taking requests. The DJ will be happy to make important announcements but they will not talk constantly over or between tracks (that's just not our style!). We also think it's important to say that the DJ won't have a separate DJ booth - they will set up in an appropriate space (ideally to the side of the stage) and the PA/lighting will be the same as what is being used by the band.
Yes – all included in the price. You won't have to hire any additional equipment in.
The published guide price range covers our 6 to 9-piece line-up options performing at a venue within 30 miles of our base in Birmingham. We charge travel costs for venues further than 30 miles, and if your venue is more than a 2 hours 30 mins drive home, we charge a bit extra so we can book accommodation. For an accurate quote please contact us with your event date and venue details.
Yes, we regularly work at venues with noise limiters. We are happy to contact the venue in advance of the event to make sure we have all the required information to enable us to plan accordingly.
Yes.
Yes, as long as we have three weeks' notice we will learn the first dance of your choice.
We have played in some very small spaces, but ideally a minimum of around 2.5m x 5m.
2 x 13-amp sockets are fine for our system.
The band's standard rider is for a hot meal and soft drinks for the band members or a £15 pp rider buyout.
As a professional function band our bookings tend to be weddings and private events that unfortunately we are unable to invite guests to. Our videos are a very accurate insight into our look and sound, and we'd also encourage you to check out our testimonials page to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the band.
