“My wife and I were lucky enough to have Soul City Shakedown perform at our wedding this past September and they were nothing short of outstanding! We have attended many weddings and have never seen so many guests of all ages on the dance floor at one time… They truly were the highlight of our wedding reception!”

“Wow!!! Soul City Shakedown brought incredible energy to celebrate the start of our lives together. Multiple people told us that they were the best wedding band they’d ever heard… Jon was super easy to work with and made us feel confident that on the big day they’d be able to take care of everything when it comes to the music at the wedding.“

“Jon and the entire crew were so easy to work with, responsive, and truly blew us away with their talent and energy. The band had no problem with learning a new song for our first dance and were exactly what we were looking for in terms of interacting with the crowd and keeping the energy going all night… Would 100% recommend!”

“Soul City Shakedown played at our wedding in December at Cescaphe Ballroom and we couldn’t have imagined a better performance! The 9 piece band really commanded the room and the dance floor was PACKED the entire night. Jon Ardito was terrific to work with throughout the whole process. Very laid back, easygoing, and communicative, and he made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t recommend them more!“

Dominic

“Soul City Shakedown was tight! The emcees got our party started right and kept our guests engaged the whole time… Many of our friends and family are musicians and commented how great the band sounded in the venue space… Working with Jon and Soul City Shakedown was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. The group captured our vision and ran with it, making it a memorable experience for all.“
