The Soul Sonic band was amazing! Great hit that everyone loved!!
Special thanks to Conchita - so beautiful and amazing!



Rosanna & Frank - October 15th 2011
The wedding day went really well. We had nothing but great feedback from our guests about the Soul Nights band and everyone really enjoyed the band's sound and music selection. A couple of people recognised Barry from TV so were very excited :-)



Dima & Adhil - October 2nd 2011
The Afro Fusion Dancers were absolutely fantastic!!!! We loved every minute of their performance and received such great feedback from our guests. 

It was a pleasure working with you. Please also thank the girls for me and the drummers. The performance was definitely one of the highlights of the night and worth every cent.



Naomi & Luke - September 24th 2011

Luke and i would really like to extend a very big thank you to you and the fabulous Soul Nights band. Saturday was the most wonderful day of our lives and you all played an important role in it. We have received phenomenal reviews of how fantastic Soul Nights was from our guests and they really made the overall atmosphere. We all had a fantastic time on the dance floor and their song selection was perfect. Please pass on our gratitude to the band.



Michelle & Greg - September 10th 2011

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for your assistance throughout - it certainly made things easier for us amongst all the chaos! Conchita, Michael and the band were amazing and feedback from our guests are immensely positive!



Afryll & Keng - September 3rd 2011
We were really happy with the Soul Nights band. While we were too busy to really pay particular attention, we felt that they really lifted the atmosphere, and many of our guests approached us to ask about the band and comment positively about the quality of the performances. It was nice that we had pre-arranged our song preferences and details, and then could trust the band to deliver. All in all, a worthwhile investment for a once in a lifetime event. We would recommend them!



Veronique & Brian - August 27th 2011
The Soul Nights band was amazing and all at the wedding had wonderful things to say. I must admit I'm not entirely sure I actually spoke to them! I did say hello but in the madness of the evening I don't think I actually thanked them personally, so would you mind passing on my appreciate - it was a wonderful night and the music was fantastic.

At times there was no room on the dance floor & towards the end the band was good enough to let two of our friends have a go on the microphone! They were good sports.

Again please pass on my sincere thanks to Conchita & the band, I truly loved how the night went & how great they were. I certainly have no hesitation in recommending them & also FYI Kelly from the venue thought Conchita & the band were unbelievable.




Frances & Olivo - August 27th 2011

Hi Nando (MC),

On behalf of Olivo and myself, I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation for your performance at our wedding on Saturday.  Everyone was impressed. I appreciate you being able to accommodate the crowd and make everyone feel relaxed. We hope you enjoyed yourself as well, and were able to sit back and enjoy some great food and wine at one of Sydney's best locations.  Thanks again for all your assistance, particularly having short notice to prepare for it.  I will no doubt recommend you to others in the future.



Rosa and Mark - May 28th 2011

Thank you for providing entertainment for our wedding last week The latin dancers were great! It was a very entertaining show and audience participation was fantastic. I would recommend these performers to anyone.



Amelia& Mark - May 21st 2011

We were thrilled with the Soul Nights band's performance at the wedding, they were the perfect addition to an already perfect day!! The guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did the groom and I and we cannot thank the band enough for their amazing performance!! All the band members were so PROFESSIONAL, so GENUINE & so FRIENDLY. Their music truly made such a wonderful contribution to a perfect day. We were very honoured that they were a part of it. We would recommend your services to all future brides and grooms & we sincerely thank you for all of your efforts towards making the occasion so special!  Just AWESOME!!



Jolly & Lester Susi

First of all, we want to THANK YOU for your great service, friendly assistance, and for being an awesome band that everybody rocked out to and literally got everyone on the dance floor "fist pumping" to all the songs!! We knew that s

Soul Nights was super awesome but you guys are absolutely fabulous and were even way better than the high expectations that we already had of you. Totally blew us all away and left people wanting more and more. By the end of the night no one wanted to leave, and by the next day all our aunties and uncles who danced the night way were exhausted and sore (in a good way) from having so so much FUN!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.



Lisa Chapman & Greg - May 1st 2011
Dear Wayne, Emilio & Soul Nights, It was a pleasure dealing with you and having Soul Nights play at our wedding. They were amazing, and the highlight of the evening for us. Everyone was up on the dance floor, not wanting the night to end! Our guests are still talking about how great Soul Nights were till this day. Thank you again, for making our night so memorable!


Thank you again Wayne, so much, Please pass on our thank you to the band. It really was the night of our dreams. The music was incredible and people who hadn't danced in 10 years were up dancing about.

I will be recommending then to everyone who asks. Emilio was lovely on the night, checking with us all was well. Grace and the other band members were so lovely giving us a wink every now and then making sure we were having a great time. We will remember the night forever. 



Jilda & Justin - April 30th 2011
We would both like to write and say a HUGE thank you to EP Entertainment and the band we had for our special wedding day - The Noxs. Like for most people, our wedding day was extremely important to us. Therefore we really wanted to be able to deal with a dependable, honest and professional company. From the moment we spoke with EP Entertainment we knew they were such a company. Emilio and Wayne were a massive help for our wedding. They really went out of their way to ensure that we secured the band we wanted in a very short time frame, provided great suggestions for the night to help it run smoothly and really accommodated all of our requirements. It was such a pleasure dealing with Emilio and Wayne. They have a great knowledge of the industry, are warm and friendly and are true professionals.

Now - for the night. We had arranged the band - The Noxs. We would highly recommend this band. We would also like to say a special thank you to Christo (band member) for pulling out all stops to make sure the night was a great success as well as putting on a great performance with the other band members. The band arrived at the venue early to ensure that all was 100% setup. Once they started playing, the atmosphere really picked up! The band sounded absolutely amazing! They did a great job of playing a really good selection of songs, but also were able to adjust the song selection depending on the mood of the crowd. The band members were very nice and on the night were great to deal with. We have had countless people tell us after the wedding what an absolutely amazing band we had. A number of them have asked us for the name of the band as they want to hire them for their event. The band was a real highlight of our wedding.

Thank you again for helping to make our special day such a great one. We would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for entertainment for their wedding/event.


Leeanne Lawlis - April 9th, 2011

The Latin Dancers were Fantastic. I couldn't have asked for more. They were very friendly and the people loved them! The next day i got phone calls saying they were the best and they are going to have them at their birthday parties.  Wow they both did an excellent job.

Thank you very much Wayne also for your help in choosing both dancers and when I have another special occasion i will be calling you again. Thank you once again.



Vanessa and Michael Carbone - March 26th 2011

Michael and I cannot thank you enough for the quality entertainment you and your company provided for us on our wedding night.

The Brazilian dancers performance was absolutely fantastic! They really involved the guests and put on a great show! The crowd involvement was so entertaining that Michael and I had already decided to email this feedback to you as we were so impressed.

Once again thankyou for adding so much to our special day.



Penny Szpalinski - March 26th 2011

We really loved DJ Paul's enthusiasm and it was wonderful to have him as our DJ. He created an amazing atmosphere.

Thank you also for your wonderful service, which has been very professional and friendly. Should we or any of our friends require a Dj or entertainment services in the future I will be sure to give them your details.

Thanks so much Wayne!



Mary & Vinh - 5 February, 2011

Where do I start with Soul Nights?!

Firstly their management team are an absolute delight to deal with. Everything was dealt with professionally, in a timely manner and requests were met. Wayne is a warm, patient and engaging person who knows all the ins and outs of the business. He ensured communication was always open and listened to what we wanted. He always presented us with options and was never pushy.

Now the band! We wanted a fun, fun, fun night and Grace, Barry, Emilio and the rest of the band sure know how to get a party started! At the beginning of the night there was another band playing for an hour and Soul Nights graciously worked along side them. As soon as Soul Nights came on the stage though, everyone was on the dance floor. These guys know how to sing and rev the crowd up. Grace in particular has an enthusiasm that is quite infectious, and all my lady guests would have been impressed with Barry even if he didn't sing. In saying that though, both singers are very gifted with dexterous voices and they sing well alone or as a duo. The band as a whole is very versatile. Their song list is expansive and there is something in there for everyone. You could put them in front of a young crowd or an old crowd but when their finished your left wanting more! Our guests are still raving on about how about how great Soul Nights are. I also asked them to learn a new song for my husband and they pulled it off with remarkable aplomb. When we looked at our wedding photos all our guests are smiling, dancing and hands are waving in the air! This is exactly what we wanted.

I also want to commend the sound technician, Kristian. He was friendly, approachable and was on top of everything that was asked of him. He probably knew the night’s schedule better than we did and his efficiency ensured the night ran smoothly.

Our wedding was great but Soul Nights added to that with their charming performances. My husband and I are extremely delighted with our choice and if we had another celebration we would certainly, without a doubt book them again!



Marie Mitry

Thank you for listening and delivering an outstanding band collaboration and outcome to the most important night of our lives. Your warm hearted approach yet professionalism has not gone unnoticed. You are what made us sign up your band.

As guests walked into the room your fabulous team set the tone to the evening which undoubtedly was the standout of the night. Not only was the soulful music selection loved by all but the voice of the gorgeous Conchita and the ever so handsome Barry alone and combined was at a calibre that surpassed all expectations. It all felt surreal, from the visual, to the sound, to the timing, to the unique twist they put on tracks that made us love them even more.

It made our evening and we thank you and the team for making our night what it was... unforgettable. You are my Music Angel!!!!



Paul & Rita - December 11th, 2010

Just wanted to thank Soul Nights and EP Entertainment for doing such a great job in organizing the whole entertainment for Soul Nights, EP Dancers and Leo Sayer.

Soul Nights are an amazing band and we look forward to my next sons wedding to have them play at the wedding. A big thank you to your staff Wayne that played a major roll in helping of putting together this fantastic night.

We would also like to thank Leo Sayer and his band for doing such a great job.

We look forward to telling our friends and family about using EP Entertainment and Soul Nights as there entertainment for their future weddings.


Anna & Danny Tu - November 6th 2010
Two words - THANK YOU!!!!


Firstly the management team are an absolute delight to deal with. Everything was dealt professionally, in a timely manner and requests were met.

Now the band! Soul Nights was definitely the HIGH LIGHT of our wedding reception!!! We wanted a fun filled night and Grace, Barry, Emilio and the rest of the band made that happen! As soon as Soul Nights came on the stage though, everyone was on the dance floor. These guys know how to sing and rev the crowd up. Grace in particular has an enthusiasm that is quite infectious, and all my lady guests would have been impressed with Barry, what can I say... he was infectious?!?!! The women and the men definitely were pleased with his presence!!!

In saying that though, both singers are very gifted with amazing voices and they sing well alone or as a duo. The band as a whole is very versatile. Their song list is expansive and there is something in there for everyone. The fact that all the oldies at our wedding were amazed by Soul Nights was a huge deal for us. Our parents (born in the 40's and 50's) thought they were impeccable!!! When you guys finished for the evening, you left everyone wanting more! Our guests are still raving on about how about how great Soul Nights are.

When we looked at our wedding photos all our guests are smiling, dancing and hands are waving in the air! This is exactly what we wanted.

Our wedding was great but Soul Nights added to that with their spectacular and memorable performances. My husband and I are extremely delighted with our choice and if we had another celebration we would certainly, without a doubt book them again!


Georgina & Patrick - 23 October, 2010

A big thank you to you all. We greatly appreciate the outstanding performance by Soul Sonic at our wedding on 23 October 2010. For my husband and I entertainment was key and we were thrilled with the group's performance, which really set the tone and mood for the entire night. The singer Grace sang the song for our bridal dance so beautifully that I'm the first to admit it got me quite emotional and teary. 

We’ve also heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests and people continue telling us about how much they loved the group. Please pass along our most sincere gratitude to your phenomenal band who had our guests on the dance floor while they were performing. My only complaint is that they weren't able to perform for longer. We will certainly recommend your group every chance we get.

Thanks again for everything and for your professionalism in the lead up to the day.



Daniel & Stephanie Pace - 3 October, 2010

I wanted to take this opportunity to pass on my sincere thanks for playing such fantastic music at our wedding on the 3rd of October 2010.

We are extremely grateful for the professionalism you showed from our consultations, all the way through to the big day. Nothing seemed to be a problem for you, you catered to our needs and wants for the night and made our wedding planning that much less stressful.

We still have people months after the wedding, complimenting us on what a fantastic band we had at our wedding and that the song choices catered to all generations.

We are happy to tell you that many of our guests have asked for your details for their future functions. We have no hesitation in recommending "Soul Nights" and look forward to dancing all night at the next we see you at.

Thanks again for turning our wedding into a great party that we will never forget.



Shaylea & Robert Tripodina - 22 August, 2010

I am writing to express our thanks, for everything that you and the rest of Soul Nights did to help make our wedding reception on 22nd August so remarkable.

So many people have commented to us what a great band you were and what a good dance they had. You judged the atmosphere perfectly and played just the right mix of music to get everyone up on the dance floor. One of the more important factors of our wedding was live music and you captured our vision flawlessly, judging from the video everyone was having a great time, us included. Roxane and Barry did a magnificent job for the duo for our first dance.-Thanks once again!

All the best for the year ahead, I’m sure it will be a busy one!



Hillary & Shondell Selui

What an amazing night! Soul nights: You guys rocked! Thank you so much for the fabulous entertainment! The band definitely set the mood for the evening and it was all about fun!

Our guests had a blast at the wedding and were really impressed by you guys. The team at Conca D'oro also commented on what a great atmosphere you guys brought.

Hillary and I can’t thank you enough for making our wedding the greatest, most enjoyable day. We hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did. Please pass on our thanks to all the band members on the night. They were outstanding! And most of all, thankyou Emilio for exceeding our expectations!

We will definitely keep you all in mind for future functions....and will be recommending Soul Nights to all our family and friends!

THANKYOU!



Lisa - 26 September, 2009

I just wanted to pass along my compliments to yourself & the other band members of soul nights for a wedding that was held aboard the Bella Vista on Saturday the 26th September 2009.

As a weddings coordinator, I have seen many bands perform aboard the Bella Vista and I can honestly say you guys were one of the best I have ever had onboard.

To get all 160 guests up & dancing at the one time is a major accomplishment... the mix of music was great & the atmosphere was perfect and all the band members were a pleasure to deal with. I have no hesitation in booking soul night again for future functions and look forward to working with you again.



Farid & Lorraine

Soul Nights are the band that takes the night to another level with young and old. Our engagement party at Ottoman was filled with dancing and sweet tunes thanks to Soul Nights. Once again, thank you guys for an amazing time, look forward to having you at our Wedding reception!



Mira

I just want to say a BIG HUGE Thank You to yourself and the band playing on our wedding! We had a MARVELOUS time!

They were all very friendly and very open to suggestions on the night (singing a song for my uncle and mum to dance to). They were also beautiful when doing our first dance! Love it! Everyone couldn’t stop commenting on how great the music was played by the band and how gorgeous they look (boy and girl!) They bought the mood up so high! I love them! I will definitely recommend you guys to everyone I know! Thank you again for your help with everything!

Corporate

Fran Bush - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - August 26th, 2011

Hi Wayne!

Thanks for all that you've done! The Ball was great thanks to the band!! They surely delivered! All band members were a hit particularly Grace amongst the islander boys and Chris with the amateur guitarists.

We got feedback the whole night saying how awesome Soulnights were and
some of the boys saying 'the band killed it!' (the new term for 'excellent/awesome/ or mean-as if you're kiwi). Facebook comments include 'best dance thanks to the band!', 'the band rocked!', 'the band was HEKTIK'.



Satoko - Nippon Travel Agency - July 3rd, 2011


Dear Wayne,

Thank you for your support of this incentive group. Yesterday, the group went back Japan.

This Curzon Hall party was a welcome party for them, and it was a very important party.  I have heard that the Natalie Conway Band made them very happy and relaxed. They had a really great time on the night.  Our President requested her to sing after her scheduled finish time ( as you know she had another gig to attend ).  However she took the offer readily and sang  a song a cappella.


This first night led to the success of the whole tour.

Thank you so much for your great assistance even though our request came at such short notice.  When we have our incentive tour next time, I will contact you again!

Thank you so much again. I look forward to working with you again in the near future.


Emily Garlan, General Affairs Officer - Samsung Electronics Australia

Thank you again for providing such great entertainment for our Christmas party. We have used Soul Nights previously and will continue to as they are both professional and fun. It is a great relief as an event organiser to turn up and have the band rehearsed and ready to go.

I look forward to using your services in the future.


Kris Dalton, Executive Producer - C iPRODUCTION

I just wanted to follow up after the debrief with our “Cure the Future" client. As you know it was very important to the charity that everyone involved have a fantastic time at the event. Well you certainly provided the entertainment to do that. The NOXS is a fantastic band and it was amazing to see the dance floor completely full all night. We also appreciate the donation of services to the Cure the Future Charity. All in all everyone had a great night with great expectations for next year’s event and the audience loved you guys so much, the organising committee would love you to be the band for the Cure the Future Party 09!

On a personal note, it was great to work with you and I hope to have a chance to do so again soon.


Sally Cadwallader, AMP Capital Investors

Emilio, I would like to thank you and the SOUL Sonic band for making our Client Christmas party a fantastic success. I have had some great feedback regarding the bands excellent performance. Hope you all have a great Christmas and I look forward to working with you again.


Steve Rigney, Hornsby RSL Club

Crowd response to the Nox’s and Soul Sonic were excellent. The band’s left the crowd wanting more. Very professional outfits.

Residency

Alanna Cherote, Tokio Hotel, Cockle Bay Wharf

Soul Nights have been performing at Tokio Hotel (otherwise known as HOME BAR) for over 12 months. They have swiftly become one of our most popular and highly requested resident acts.

I’ve been absolutely thrilled with their extensive repertoire and constant professionalism. I receive endless compliments and emails from punters that visit Tokio Hotel and are blown away by what they’ve been lucky enough to experience.

It's not an easy task to keep a room full of 200 to 300 plus people on their feet until early hours, and then have them literally begging for more! I’m always impressed with the versatility of the musicians, and the energy and power behind each and every show. 

Thank you again for a wonderful array of performances, and allowing our venue to gain such strong momentum. On a personal level, thank you for your motivation in making each show unforgettable!


Monkey Bar, Balmain

The Noxs have been making Sunday night at the Balmain Monkey a rocking success for the last 2 years. With their classic rock tunes making a prerequisite there is no better way to see out the end to a fun weekend. Thanks! The Noxs, we love it!
