Highly Recommend New Soul Duo!

NSD was an excellent band to work with. They were very organized and executed everything we wanted from ceremony music timing, DJ service for cocktails & dinner, and live music for the dance and late evening. They took care of all the set up and coordination with our venue so we did not have to worry during the day. We got married at Rodney's Oyster House, and they were very flexible to make the space work for our wedding, the dance floor was full all night with a good range of music for everyone to enjoy!

Mark & Kayla’s 2023 Wedding!

The one requirement for our wedding was a live band and the New Soul Duo exceeded our expectations! They really played to our tastes and the crowd. They kept the energy high and people on the dance floor for almost 5 straight hours. We would 100% recommend the New Soul Duo to anyone that wants the live band experience. They made sure we had the best night of our lives!

Blew the roof off!

If you're planning an event or a wedding and want the dancefloor to be hopping, look no further than New Soul Duo! We got married last year and they managed our audio throughout the ceremony and reception, played a live performance for our first dance, and then rocked the house for hours on the dance floor into the wee hours of the morning . They were a pleasure to work with prior to the wedding, and made every effort to accommodate the personal touches throughout the day that made it even more special. They were contactable, approachable, flexible, and professional. Not only that, but they are incredibly talented. We could not have imagined our wedding day without Tony & Vance.

New Soul Duo and DJ Najee are the BEST!

We had New Soul Duo AND DJ Najee at our wedding and they were fabulous! On time, great value, walked us through the process. Live music walking down the isle and during the ceremony was the best choice and we would recommend for all your wedding music needs!!! You will not be disappointed!

Don't Hesitate! Book Them!!

Our wedding day was an amazing celebration and one of the elements that made it truly unforgettable was the extraordinary performance by New Soul Duo!

The professionalism and passion displayed by Tony and Vance was unparalleled. From our initial emails to discussing song choices to the last encore, their commitment to creating a musical atmosphere that perfectly complemented the joyous occasion was evident. Their attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine enthusiasm for our special day set them apart from the rest.

The band's repertoire was diverse, spanning various genres and eras, ensuring that every guest, regardless of age or musical taste, found themselves on the dance floor. Their renditions of our first dance and ceremony songs was nothing short of amazing!

New Soul Duo exceeded our expectations and added an incomparable touch of energy to our wedding day. If you're seeking a band that combines exceptional musical talent, professionalism, and a genuine passion for creating unforgettable moments, then make sure to BOOK THEM!

Great experience!

We got married in July, 2023 in Kananaskis AB. The guys were answering our emails fast, discussed all the songs we want to hear during our special day and were pretty good in reading the mood of our guests. Everyone enjoyed their music! This band was definitely the best choice for us.

Exceptional Band and DJ!

New Soul Duo and DJ Yahya took care of the music during our wedding reception this past August in Fernie, BC. They were incredible! Prior to our day, all emails were answered SUPER promptly, and the group was thorough in taking the time to understand what we wanted for our music. They played my father-daughter dance live...something that will always be a treasured memory. During our wedding reception, their music choices were flawless, their energy was unflagging, the dance floor was full pretty much all night, and a good third of our guests were still up partying when the last song played at 1 am! Between sets, they were all really kind and friendly, and continued to add to the night, with DJ Yahya often joining us to dance. We had so much fun!!! Many of our guests and vendors commented to us about how outstanding both the duo and DJ were. We highly recommend New Soul Duo to anybody else seeking unforgettable entertainment for their event. Thank you Aisha, Vance, and Tony for helping make our wedding day so special ☺️

A DJ & a Band walk into a room...

New Soul Duo & DJ Yaya blew us all away with their talent!! I personally (the bide) could not stop dancing, it's 10 days past my wedding and my voice is still recovering from singing along! Our guests danced non stop until 1 AM. They are absolutely AMAZING!! Aisha, Vance, and Anthony listened to our requests and brought our vision to life - they killed it! I never wanted the night to end. Hiring these guys is the best of both worlds, live music and a super fun DJ who will dance with your guests! Communication with Aisha was perfect, their pricing is reasonable (worth every penny), and they are truly incredible. Don't hesitate, book New Soul Duo & DJ Yaya for all of your events! Thank you guys for making our wedding so fun!

Great Wedding Entertainment

We had New Soul Duo and DJ Yaya take care of all our audio on our wedding day. They brought all their own equipment, set up well in advance, and ran all the music and microphones from the ceremony through to the reception. It all went flawlessly, they were even able to hook a speaker up to our laptop setup to get audio for some video we wanted played.

And of course the dance! They are a two piece band who plays a really enjoyable mix of cover music of all genres. They can learn pretty much any song you want them to if you wanted something special for a dance for example, but we just had them do "dealers choice" and it was so good. While the band plays, DJ Yaya acts as hype woman and keeps everyone dancing, and during band breaks she plays DJ sets. It's really the best of both worlds between band and DJ. We didn't have to think about anything on the day with the music thanks to NSD and DJ Yaya. Thank you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
