THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® "We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun." Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia Thomas B. - Wedding

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!" Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Scott Green - Daughters Wedding
