Reviews of Good Time ☆ Soul Foundation

I can’t recommend Stefano and the Good Time Soul Foundation highly enough. They performed at my father’s 75th birthday celebration in Tuscany, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

The evening began with a relaxed, elegant aperitivo set during drinks and dinner, creating exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. Later, they seamlessly switched gears into a high-energy disco set that had everyone—from the youngest guests to the oldest—up on the dance floor. It was the perfect progression for the evening and created memories our family will cherish for years to come. The band was superb and the singer hit ALL the notes to perfection!

Throughout the planning process, Stefano was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, making everything stress-free. Due to sound and timing restrictions at our dinner venue, we planned to move to a second location for the dancing portion of the evening. Stefano was extremely helpful throughout this process, offering practical suggestions on how to manage the transition smoothly and efficiently. His experience and guidance made the logistics feel effortless.

If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and flexible band that knows how to read the room and create the perfect atmosphere, I would wholeheartedly recommend Stefano and the Good Time Soul Foundation.
They were one of the highlights of our celebration, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.

Hiring Stefano and his band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
They brought an incredible energy to the entire evening and created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for.

From our first conversation, Stefano was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was just right.
He took the time to understand what we wanted and went above and beyond by learning several songs that were important to us.

The music was outstanding.
The song selections felt perfectly tailored to our guests, and the dance floor stayed full all night long.
We had so many people tell us afterward how amazing the band was and how much they added to the celebration.

Not only are they exceptionally talented musicians, but they are also wonderful people who clearly care about delivering an unforgettable experience.
We are so grateful to Stefano and his band for helping make our wedding such a memorable and special day.

An amazing band for my Daughters wedding.

They were probably the best band that I have seen at any wedding venue or party 🥳

The band performed for my daughter’s wedding and they absolutely blew us away.

They were totally professional, did every song requested and even learned an old family favourite.

We will be forever grateful and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them in a heartbeat.

I can’t overstate how amazing Stefano and the Good Time Soul Foundation were at our wedding.

We had a duo (guitar and voice) for the ceremony, jazz music during the aperitivo and disco after dinner for dancing.
The ceremony was beautiful – the band kindly learned a host of songs specifically for the ceremony, which made the entire thing feel super special and initmate and personal.

During the aperitivo they played lovely jazz music, and after dinner, they got all of the guests dancing.
One of my most memorable memories from the wedding is seeing the grandmothers (in their 80’s and 90’s) dancing alongside my friends alongside our youngest guests aged 11, 4 and 2.

Throughout the process, Stefano was a fantastic communicator and made planning everything incredibly easy.
The band travelled across Italy to my hometown of Bolzano and despite national train strikes, never gave me an ounce of worry that anything would go wrong.

I can’t speak highly enough of this band and trust me, hiring them will be one of the best choices you make for your wedding!

It’s hard to put into words how exceptional Stefano and his band were.

From start to finish we were blown away by the professionalism and the skill of all the musicians as well as being so kind and friendly.

Stefano kept in good communication with us throughout the whole process and couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.

The set list was perfect for our event which was a wedding, all our guests were up on the dance floor and said how wonderful the music was.

Stefano and his band will give you a really great time!

We highly highly recommend, thank you so much again.

One of the best decisions I made was when I found this band and asked them to please perform!
They were EXCEPTIONAL.

Communicating with Stefano before the wedding- he was amazing, helping me with the SIAE, their response times were so quick, and so kind – they are also so so talented and great at what they do!

Everyone was dancing and singing these guys are amazing 🤩

These guys gave us the BEST evening at our wedding, everyone loved them.
People still comment to us a year later (sorry for the late review!!) how much fun they had because of the band and how they’d never danced for so long at a wedding.
They were even kind enough to let our friend join them on bass for a few songs which was a lovely memory.

Grazie per tutti guys, we loved it ❤️

Absolutely fantastic from the very first communication to the wedding day!

Stefano and his band performed some beautiful songs during our cocktail hour, helping create fun and warm atmosphere filled with Motown and soul! Stefano was so kind to let us use his mic and speaker during the ceremony and even set a mic up and guitar for my friends to sing a song during the ceremony.

They gave us a 100% and I really couldn’t recommend them more.
Our favourite vendors we worked with for sure ❤️❤️❤️

Espetáculo!
A banda é espetacular, boa musica, bons músicos.

Pedimos uma canção especial para os festejados e a banda prontamente deu a disponibilidade para tocar a musica que cantariamos.
Obrigado
Recomendo vivamente!

Stefano and the band was really amazing!

All of our guests enjoyed the music everyone was dancing and they really accommodated with all the requests we had!

The whole band is just so good, very talented musicians.

They played songs even for our ceremony and it was just a dream come true.

We can’t thank them enough to help make our day perfect.

I would definitely recommend them!

I can’t thank Stefano, Kaya and the whole of Good Time Soul Foundation enough.

They are such a talented band.

Stefano was so great to communicate with, nothing was too much trouble. We chose some very special songs for the ceremony which the band played perfectly!!!
Stefano even incorporated the sound of the steel drum into my aisle song, which was a dream come true.

Kaya has such a beautiful voice and every song blew me away.

All our guests were so complimentary and danced the whole set.

I am so grateful I found this band for our special day, it was a moment I will truly never forget!

Thank you Good Time Soul Foundation.

Love Sarah and Jim

Stefano and the entire band were a dream come true for our July wedding in Umbria !

Their collection of songs set the perfect tone for the night and our family and friends loved every minute of their set.
They were such an incredible addition to the evening that made the memory so special.

It was wonderful to meet them and we would share their info with any friend of ours that is having an event in the same area in the future.

Stefano and his band were absolutely incredible.

They played for a wedding I have organized and I can not praise but their professionalism and enthusiasm.

The music was perfect, just like my customers asked.

They went over and beyond to make sure all the guests would enjoy the party, accommodating extra requests out of the playlist.

Many thanks for all your effort. I will definitely use them again.!

Thanks so much to Stefano and the band for playing our wedding.
They were amazing!
They learned our first song, New Shoes by Paulo Nutini, perfectly and had all of our guests dancing the night away.
The provided a PA system for our ceremony and speeches that worked flawlessly.

Stefano was responsible and flexible when making arrangements.
I would highly recommend for your wedding!

What an amazing evening, all thanks to Stefano and the Good Time Soul Foundation!
They made our special day even more unforgettable.
So professional, attentive, and always right on point.
We’re truly grateful.

Daniele & Alessandra

The BEST!
Videos online do not do this band justice, they sound incredible live!
Stefano and the band are incredibly professional, easy to deal with and lovely people!

We had a great choice of songs, plus they learned a few of our especially chosen songs too!

Stefano even called the venue to discuss the best position to play from at different parts of the day; he did this without us asking him to and we appreciated it so much.

This band are incredible, great value and made our wedding so special!

Ci siamo affidati a loro per il nostro giorno più importante e non avremmo potuto fare scelta migliore. La band offre una vasta selezione di brani eseguiti con passione e maestria. Hanno accolto le nostre richieste di brani extra e, inoltre, si sono dimostrati disponibili anche alle richieste degli invitati durante la festa.

We were absolutely thrilled with this band for our wedding! From start to finish, they were the perfect example of professionalism—so easy to plan with, learned our favorite songs, were on time which is very important for a wedding, and incredibly helpful with everything. They even gifted us a speaker cord at the end of the evening for free so we could continue to play music when they left (ours was missing)!

They brought such amazing energy to our wedding day, creating the perfect vibe for each part of the celebration.

For the ceremony, their music was stunningly beautiful and set the most romantic tone. During the mingling, they created such happy, relaxed vibes that everyone felt at ease. And then the evening dance party was nothing short of incredible! They had all of our guests on their feet, and their interaction with everyone made the night even more fun and memorable.

We honestly could not have asked for a better band! They exceeded all of our expectations and helped make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

What a cool live music band this is. Great and nice team. Really good in communicating via the email. The music style is exactly what we both love. They played during our dinner, which is a perfect addition for the atmosphere to have more get to gathers and dancing between the courses. Really recommend this great band.

Grazie e ciao!

WOW. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. If you are considering hiring Good Time SoulF for your wedding or event, you should book them immediately! I am so incredibly impressed with their talents, professionalism, communication, and overall performance. They were such a highlight of my wedding day and I couldn’t be more grateful that they were able to come and perform for us.
They were so flexible with their playlists as well and let me customize the songs that I wanted to hear from their playlists as well as add a few more songs that they were able to learn for the wedding. I am overjoyed with their performance and the only thing I wish I would have done differently is to have asked them to stay longer. Truly amazing, kind, talented, and wonderful performers. I enjoyed every second as did my guests. THANK YOU!!! XXXX

Wow, we can’t recommend Good Time highly enough! Their incredible repertoire, style, and sound truly made our wedding SO much fun and SO memorable. We heard so many complements from our guests as well, no one wanted to leave the dance floor! Disco, R&B, and Jazz were exactly what we were looking for for our matrimonio in Lazio, Italy. Their vocals, sax, bass, and drums were all spot on. The band are responsive and – lucky for us – very easy to communicate with in both English and Italian. We are especially grateful for their patience and understanding working with us throughout the pandemic years. Thank you and bravo!!

We are delighted that we choose Good Time Soul for our wedding! They were absolutely fantastic. Communication was always clear and we found them a pleasure to deal with.

They learned a song for our ceremony which was delivered beautifully. They set a lovely chilled vibe for the aperitivo and the dance floor was filled later in the night.

Many of our guests commented on how good they were. Great instrumental talent and an incredible lead singer. We are truly grateful to the band for the big contribution they made to making our day so enjoyable!

My partner Jessica Brennan recently had her 70th Birthday Party at the Castello di Septe in Mozzagrogna, and had Good Time Soul Foundation for the music. The band were outstanding and everybody remarked how good they were. Some of the guests were in a nine piece band themselves and could appreciate the quality of their performance. Jessica gave a list of songs that she wanted them to play and they didn’t let her down from Jazz to Soul and Dance everybody had a great time.

I contacted Good Time for our recent wedding in Florence only a few months out from the wedding. Another agency had let us down so I was under pressure to find the perfect band for us. My husband and I are huge music lovers and we knew how important finding the right live band was for our wedding.

Much to my delight, the communication from the band was immediate and their response time was within 12 hrs of each email I sent. I was organising our wedding from New Zealand so their quick communication was much appreciated.

We also had a very niche song request for the ceremony, that many people hadn’t heard of but the band learnt and played it perfectly for us.

For the rest of the day, Good Time tracklist (that we had chosen) matched different moments of the day perfectly. They knew when to play the slower songs and then had everyone up off their feet dancing after lunch.

One of the most special memories of the day for us was when one of our guests wanted to play a blues track with the band as a surprise. They had never practised before or been in contact previously but it was incredible!

We owe a lot to GTSF for contributing to how perfect our wedding day was.

Hire this band, they are beyond fantastic!!! I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

We listened to dozens of bands before we selected Good Time SF for the recent wedding and reception of our daughter in L’Aquila. The bride is a musicologist so the music was quite important. The band is terrific musically, even better live than in their great videos. Equally important, they are exceptional in their professionalism and communication. They worked with us patiently to ensure absolute satisfaction in various types of music we requested for the ceremony. On the day of the event, they magically set up at all the right locations and appropriate music was played through out the evening without any further direction from us. We can honestly and wholeheartedly recommend Good Time Soul Foundation for any occasion.

After just completing out wedding in Positano, Italy, we can’t speak highly enough of the crew at Good Time Soul Foundation and would highly recommend them.

Importantly, everyone loved the music played by Good Time, meaning we had everyone up dancing all through the night, really enjoying themselves.

The band were incredibly lovely and accommodating and just wanted my wife and I to enjoy our special day. Despite the fact that it was raining heavily during the ceremony, they stood out in the rain and played an acoustic set for us (we didn’t even need to ask).

We worked with Good Time Soul F. for a number of years as our wedding was delayed many times due to COVID (initially from May 2020 to May 2023). In all of our dealings with Good Time, they were very prompt to reply and incredibly flexible/accommodating. In fact, despite our venue being difficult around certain issues, Good Time Soul Foundation communicated with them in the background and just reverted when things were resolved.

Finally, no request for Good Time Soul F. was too large. Upon our request, they sang specific songs in Italian, they learned new songs, excluded songs from their playlist, etc.
