    August 2026 Wedding!

    We are so thankful we found Southern City Lights to be our wedding band last month! From the start David’s communication was quick and thorough-answering every question we had with ease and making the hiring and contract process smooth. His attention to detail and expertise allowed us to fix a timeline error that would have impacted the flow of the reception in a noticeable way! We selected a 5 piece band for our reception with a female vocalist that also plays the piano and she surprised us by bringing her saxophone!!! (I wish I could remember her name!!) While they have a MASSIVE song list to choose from the will learn up to 3 new songs for your first dance, father/daughter and mother/son The reception was amazing they read the room and played so many different styles of music and kept the energy HIGH! While the highlight was the live band, we also hired SCL to DJ our ceremony and cocktail hour-they allowed me to make a playlist for each however also offered to use one of their playlists if you don’t have the time to create one. It was great to know this was taken care of without any issues! Other notable perks is they have a large travel radius before charging for distance and they don’t require a stage as long as there is a dedicated space away which helped with expenses! Thank you to David and the crew for making our wedding day a night we will never forget!!!! -The Carter’s

    We’ve had the pleasure of working with this band multiple times, and they never disappoint! They absolutely made our Christmas party unforgettable — the energy, talent, and professionalism were incredible from start to finish. The dance floor stayed packed all night, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was. Not only are they exceptionally talented musicians, but they are also wonderful to work with behind the scenes. They consistently bring great energy, read the crowd perfectly, and create such a fun and memorable atmosphere. I highly recommend them for any corporate event, party, or special occasion. They truly know how to make an event feel special!

    They were fabulous at my daughter’s wedding this past weekend! Handled all the special dances perfectly! Read the crowd, kept the dance floor packed! My 89 year old father said they were great-played music from all generations!! And the twenty something crowd loved them also!!

    Roberta, thank you so much for the kind words, it truly means a lot to us! We had such a great time being part of your daughter‘s wedding. Moments like the special dances are always meaningful to us, so I’m really glad everything felt just right. And hearing that your 89 year-old father enjoyed the music right alongside the younger crowd… that’s exactly what we strive for every night. Keeping the dance floor full with guests of all ages is one of our favorite challenges, so your feedback really means the world to us. Thank you again for trusting us to be part of such a special day. We wish your family all the best! — David & Southern City Lights

    As a wedding planner, I’ve had the pleasure of working with many entertainment teams, and this band truly stands out. They were professional, organized, and such a joy to collaborate with from start to finish. Their communication leading up to the wedding was excellent, and on the day of, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. The guests absolutely loved them, and they went above and beyond to make the evening unforgettable for the couple. I would highly recommend them to any couple or planner looking for a reliable, talented, and engaging wedding band!

    We really appreciate you taking the time to share this, especially coming from someone who’s seen so many events behind the scenes and worked with dozens of Bands. Working with your team made everything better. The way you handle the details and keep things running smoothly gives us the space to focus on the experience and keep the energy where it needs to be all night. It was indeed a fun night, and we loved how much the guests were into it and that the dance floor stayed full. That’s always the goal. Would absolutely love to work together again anytime! — David & Southern City Lights
