    If you’re reading through reviews thinking about booking Soul Session for your wedding or event, just do it already!! They are absolutely incredible! Garland is so talented and his passion for music and bringing people together shines through in every conversation you have with him. He helped us chose the five piece band option with live music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, followed by a DJ set to close out the night which was perfect from start to finish. He’s a true professional who guided us through the planning process start to finish, helping us bring our personality into every part of the night. Garland and the female vocalist have amazing voices and the energy they brought kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Our guests are still raving about them! They handled all the formalities (speeches, intros, etc) perfectly and made everything feel seamless. Working with Soul Session was honestly one of the funnest parts of wedding planning for us. We truly feel like part of the Soul Session family for life and we’re so grateful they were part of our day. Cannot recommend them enough!
