A soul vocalist brings a different feel to an event than a full band. Where a group fills the room and drives a dance floor, a solo soul singer carries the emotion in the voice itself, which is why soulful singers are so often booked for moments that matter most: the first dance, a drinks reception, the ceremony, or a quiet acoustic set during dinner before things move up a gear later in the evening.
Most soul singers offer more than one performance format. The most common is solo with backing tracks, which gives a near-full-band sound while keeping the booking budget and stage footprint small. Many also perform as a duo with a pianist or guitarist, which suits ceremonies and refined receptions, and a number front their own band when a fuller live sound is wanted. If you specifically want a group rather than a vocalist-led act, browse soul bands or Motown bands instead.
Soul covers a wide stylistic range, and most performers list their core repertoire on their profile so you can check the fit before enquiring. Classic soul singers focus on Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and the wider Stax and Motown catalogues. Modern soul vocalists work in the territory of Adele, Sam Smith, John Legend and Joss Stone. There is also crossover with R&B vocalists and jazz singers, particularly for performers with a church-trained vocal background. Most soulful singers will learn one or two specific songs for a wedding or milestone event without an extra fee, provided there is reasonable notice.
Soul singers are a natural fit for weddings, where the same vocalist can cover the ceremony, drinks reception and first dance across an afternoon. For parties and milestone birthdays, an upbeat soul soloist with backing tracks gets a smaller crowd dancing where a full band would feel too much. Corporate events and gala dinners often book a soul vocalist to perform during arrivals and the meal, with a separate wedding singer or DJ taking over later. Sets typically run as either two 45-minute slots or three 30-minute slots, with breaks between, and most performers can extend or split sets to fit a running order.
Rates for soul singers run from around $120 for a solo vocalist with backing tracks at a local event up to $1,250+ for an established performer travelling with their own band, with the typical booking landing around $410. The main cost variables are line-up (solo, duo, full band), set length, travel distance, and whether a PA system is provided by the venue or supplied by the act. Most soloists carry their own vocal PA suitable for rooms up to around 150 guests; larger venues usually need an in-house system or sound engineer.
The average price for Soul Singers is $410 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Singer and DJ Marcel de Rooij
"We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding, even if we tried! From the very beginning, he was incredibly easy to communicate with and really took the time to understand our wishes and the atmosphere we wanted to create.
DJ Marcel de Rooij adapted very well to our audience and our cultural traditions. He has a fantastic ability to read the room, connect with the crowd, and adjust his music and energy accordingly. He was incredibly interactive throughout the evening, and the atmosphere he created was absolutely amazing.
We received so many compliments from our guests about the DJ, which says it all. Everyone had an incredible time, and we truly had the night of our lives.
We will definitely remember our DJ as one of the key factors that made our wedding so incredible. We are so grateful and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ who not only knows how to play great music, but also knows how to make an event, espectially a very specific kind special and memorable."

Grace Price
"We were thrilled to welcome Grace to Westhorpe Water Sports for our Moonswim event, and she delivered an unforgettable performance that set the perfect tone for the evening. From the moment she began, the atmosphere lifted and the feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive.
Her vocals were brilliant, her presence warm and engaging, and she connected beautifully with everyone who attended. One of the standout moments of the night was her stunning rendition of Moon River, which had the whole crowd captivated in the water and on land. It was a song that fit the event perfectly, and the swimmers absolutely loved it.
Thanks to her talent and energy, everyone had a fantastic evening, and the performance added something truly special to the Moonswim. We can't wait to welcome her back again."
Alice Alison Acoustic Duo
"We chose Alice Alison Acoustic Duo for our ceremony and aperitif, and we were really happy with them. Alice’s voice and Angelo’s guitar created an elegant and warm atmosphere. Our guests loved it too! It was also very easy to coordinate with them and the venue — they were always available and helpful. We were very happy to have them with us."
"The Lady Jukebox"
"Ingka performed her solo performance for our afternoon 'blues brunch' and was loved and appreciated by all our customers and staff. Easy listening (as requested) acoustic vibes with some requests fulfilled happily. Friendly, respectful, professional and fun. A bargain for such a well groomed and talented package! We have had her for 3 seperate dates so far and are looking forward to inviting back again soon!"
