Photo of Motor City Revue Motor City Revue "MCR absolutely ROCKED our Wedding Event!! They brought the house down and then some, w/ rarely an inch of the dance floor empty! Couldn't recommend Layonne and the Motor City Revue crew enough for any and all Live Music needs... now we just need to plan another event!" Based in Asbury Park, New Jersey J. Batson Photo of Generation 2 Generation 2 "One of the best Bands this side of the East Coast. I will definitely hire them again." Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 7th November 2025 O. P Patterson - Private event Photo of Philly Heart and Soul Philly Heart and Soul "Due to COVID-19, we had frequent changes regarding our wedding date and wedding details. Philly Heart & Soul was not only accommodating to all of the changes we had to make on a daily basis but helped us problem solve as new challenges arose. Our entrances for the reception and first dance songs were wonderfully performed even with interesting song choices from the bridal party. We received compliments throughout the reception on the pure talent they possessed and how enjoyable they were to watch and dance to. They were full of enthusiasm, warm and friendly towards the guests, and professional throughout the night. Philly Heart & Soul is the best choice for your next event!"
