    We love SteelRiver Duo!

    Lauren was so lovely to work with from the very beginning. She was very responsive and organized in helping us plan our Celebration of Love Party. Lauren and Will have such a cool sound and vibe and kept the energy up and the party going. Thank you so much SteelRiver Duo! Your sound is amazing and we were so lucky to have you celebrate with us on our special day!

    Hire Lauren Roy and Southbound Soul for your wedding!!!

    My husband and I cannot express how amazing Lauren and the rest of Southbound Soul (William, Justin, Jonathan, and Stefan) was for our wedding in Sept 2022. We had done quite a bit of research looking for live entertainment for our special day and when we came across Lauren we knew she was our top pick. Her insane talent and energy and her selection and style of music was exactly what we pictured for our wedding day. Lauren was really incredible to work with. She was able to create a package for us to meet all of our needs for our day and for our venue, was very responsive the entire time, and was so professional and confident. Her confidence that she would make our entertainment dreams come true and the trust that that instilled in us was something that meant a lot, especially during the more stressful time in the weeks leading up to the wedding. During our last meeting before our big day, she did such an amazing going through all of the details, making plans to accommodate special performances from my husband and a guest, and making us feel relaxed that no matter what we could leave music in her hands. And while this is all great, the fact that she is so kind, and caring, and so much fun is just the cherry on top of it all.

    On the day of our wedding she managed our ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and first dance music, and then put on an INSANE performance all night long with the band. The entire day it felt so good knowing that everything related to our music was in hands that we trusted and it went flawlessly.

    Do not hesitate to book Lauren - you won't regret it!

    Lauren Roy truly made our wedding day perfect.

    Lauren Roy truly made our wedding day perfect.
    She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and extremely flexible and understanding with our constant changes and adjustments as a result of COVID. Along with an acoustic guitarist, she lit up the room at our ceremony, nailing the slow, acoustic versions of some of our more up-beat favourites ("Best Friend" by Queen, "Home" by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes, "Believer" by The Monkeys) and putting a tremendous amount of heart and soul into some of the traditional wedding classics ("Moon River," "Can't Help Falling in Love With You"). I was originally concerned that the single guitarist and singer wouldn't be enough to keep the energy high at our intimate backyard reception, but Lauren assured me she and her guitarist alone could "bring the party," and they absolutely delivered. We couldn't believe how big of a sound they pulled off with just the two musicians; it felt like we had hired a 5 or 6 piece band (without bothering the neighbours). After the wedding many of our guests expressed how much they enjoyed the music, and some even asked for her information to hire her themselves. Lauren took so much of the stress off of us during the planning process, and made our wedding day unforgettable. I could not recommend her highly enough.

    A must-have for your big day!

    Look no further and cross live music off your planning to-do list. Hire SteelRiver and Southbound Soul; I promise you, it's the easiest and best decision you'll make!

    Lauren is a dream to work with. She's incredibly responsive, a genuinely lovely person, super enthusiastic, and OMG her voice -- talented doesn't even begin to describe her musical abilities.

    In addition to booking SteelRiver and Southbound Soul for our upcoming wedding, I've also booked Lauren and Will for a large virtual holiday celebration for work this past December, booked Lauren for the Love Locked Down virtual concert series this past Valentine's Day, and booked Lauren for a surprise virtual concert for my best friend on her wedding day this past February. (My friends joke that I should just have them on a retainer for all my life events.) The feedback I received from both colleagues and my friends/family was incredible; they loved the performances and talked about how much fun they had for days following the events.

    I really appreciated how hard Lauren worked behind the scenes to make sure that her performances would go off without a hitch. From taking the time to do sound checks and pre-performance practices, to ensuring she knows who she's performing for and learning names and relevant tidbits of information of her audience, she is always so well prepared and her passion for her craft is evident in everything she does.

    Without a doubt, SteelRiver and Southbound Soul are a must-have for your big day.

    Our April Wedding with Lauren Roy Entertainment

    Lauren Roy made us feel relaxed and confident from beginning to end. With so much talent, high energy and organization she was the perfect fit to play at our Elora Mill wedding! The duo (Lauren & Will) played at our ceremony, during Cocktails and kicked off the dance floor following dinner! Lauren became our DJ at 10pm and rocked it! Throughout the evening Lauren had 'MC' duties and kept the night running smoothly! She's classy, fun and offers a wide range of music! We are so lucky to have found her!

    10yr Anniversary Backyard Surprise

    Lauren, not only has one of the most amazing voices, she is all around amazing. Flexible, creative, connected, thoughtful, and endearing.

    She was a personal referral to help plan a surprise backyard safe celebration for my wife and my 10 year wedding anniversary. The night couldn't have been more perfect. Lauren and her bandmate Will sang and played such well-suited music including some key recommendations like our wedding song. Lauren also through her extended team brought in other wedding elements like our flowers and cake. It didn't end there. Her photographer and chef matched the style of the occasion naturally. As my wife now shares with me it had everything she wanted in our wedding with the opportunity to selfishly just focus on each other.

    Lauren, I can't thank you enough for helping create a once in a lifetime memory which is just so amazing to have with our home! Pictures say a 1000 words.

    Over the top - amazing

    Lauren Roy put together a super special day for our daughter Carly and future son in-law Chris. June 13, 2020 (the almost wedding day) became our day to celebrate their love. There was music, amazing singing (some of my favourites), cake, champagne, flowers and beautiful photos by Jodi Lee. My husband and I were able to hug Carly & Chris for the first time in months and show them how much we love them.
    Lots of happy tears by all:)
    Lauren, many thanks to you and your team for putting such an amazing day for all of us
