Mainstreet Soul was absolutely electric at our recent wedding. The vocalists were terrific, the guitarist was shredding all night, and the horn line was excellent (and at times, on the dance floor with us!). They were so easy to work with throughout the process as well. One highlight for us was that the band leader, Jim, offered to arrange our first dance song so that the band could play it live. And it sounded amazing. Our venue was also challenging acoustically (it was a glass building)--but you wouldn't know it because Mainstreet Soul knew how to fill the space. They went above and beyond and I could not recommend them more. So many of our guests asked for their name.

If you're on the fence about hiring a live band for your wedding, do it. It truly takes your wedding to the next level, and Mainstreet Soul was worth every single penny. From the first song to the last, they kept the dance floor packed. Every one of our guests told us how incredible the band was, and my now husband and I danced all night long. They sounded absolutely amazing, and their energy made the entire reception unforgettable. Jim was also a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. He was professional, organized, and made everything so easy. We couldn't have asked for a better band. I would recommend Mainstreet Soul to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding reception!

highlight for me, too—it’s always special getting to customize a moment like that, and I'm so glad the band and I could bring your vision to life.

We hired Mainstreet Soul to play the Harmony for Crossroads event held in mid-September 2024. The theme of the evening was An Evening in Motown, and this 11-piece band, with horns,...

multiple singers and instrumentalists, did not disappoint. They were extremely easy to work with prior to the gala, took the time to work with us on our specific needs and hopes for what the party would look like. They interacted with our guests before they went on, and got the crowd up and dancing for the entirety of their set. My favorite part was when they performed Steve Wonder's "My Eyes Don't Cry No More" and the lead singer joined the crowd and danced and sang among us. Though we chose them for their extensive Motown repertoire, I'm confident they can play anything your heart desires. Highly recommend.

to engage the crowd and kept the dance floor full for nearly 4 hours. They were easy to work with every step of the way - from early alignment with our do-not-play list to learning several new songs including our first dance song. Some of the guests at our wedding throw a lot of events in the Northern Michigan area and they were so impressed and asked how we’d found them. We had such a great time and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a very fun reception.

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!

Lisa C

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.

Olivia A

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.

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.

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 packe...

d 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.

Maggie E

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!

Michelle K

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 S...

oul 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!

ood 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!

Colleen F
