Soul & Motown Wedding Bands in Italy

“Dream wedding. Simply perfect! Both with the music in the church (Pachelbel's Canon, J.S.Bach's aria on the 4th string, Mission, the thrilling interpretation of Gounod's Ave Maria) and during the reception. Engaging and amazing! Everyone dancing like crazy. Thanks again for turning our wedding into a dream.”

“Thanks so much to Stefano and the band for playing our wedding. They were amazing! They learned our first song, New Shoes by Paulo Nutini, perfectly and had all of our guests dancing the night away. They provided a PA system for our ceremony and speeches that worked flawlessly. Stefano was responsible and flexible when making arrangements. I would highly recommend for your wedding.”

“Thank you so much, you guys were amazing! Even better than I was expecting. Sorry I didn’t come and chat on the night, I think I was having too much fun and enjoying the music too much! Thank you for playing our first dance and chosen songs for the ceremony, they were great! Grazie Mille, Hannah and Tom.”

“I can’t recommend Stefano and the Italian Soul Machine highly enough. They performed at my father’s 75th birthday celebration in Tuscany, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The evening began with a relaxed, elegant aperitivo set during drinks and dinner, creating exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. Later, they seamlessly switched gears into a high-energy disco set that had everyone—from the youngest guests to the oldest—up on the dance floor. It was the perfect progression for the evening and created memories our family will cherish for years to come. The band was superb and the singer hit ALL the notes to perfection! Throughout the planning process, Stefano was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, making everything stress-free. Due to sound and timing restrictions at our dinner venue, we planned to move to a second location for the dancing portion of the evening. Stefano was extremely helpful throughout this process, offering practical suggestions on how to manage the transition smoothly and efficiently. His experience and guidance made the logistics feel effortless. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and flexible band that knows how to read the room and create the perfect atmosphere, I would wholeheartedly recommend Stefano and the Italian Soul Machine. They were one of the highlights of our celebration, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”

“We honestly couldn't have asked for a better band. From the planning stages, Sam was fantastic to work with—responsive, accommodating, collaborative, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping create exactly the atmosphere we wanted. What impressed us most was their willingness to make our wedding uniquely ours. They learned multiple songs especially for us that weren't even part of their normal repertoire, including our first dance. Hearing them perform it live was one of the most emotional moments of the entire day, and we're not sure we'll ever be able to hear that song again without thinking of their incredible performance. On top of that, they were unbelievably flexible with our venue setup. Rather than simply performing in one place, they generously performed across two separate locations, requiring them to pack down, move, and completely reset all of their equipment just so our vision could come to life seamlessly. They made what could have been a logistical headache look completely effortless. Sam, Flip and Marina's talent and energy were exceptional, creating the perfect soundtrack to our cocktail hour and first dance and leaving such a lasting impression on us and our guests. Thank you for helping us create a memory that we will treasure forever.”

“Amazing!! Professional and full of energy! They alternated different musical genres with great skill! Great musicians and nice people! I highly recommend them.”

“We absolutely loved the band! Amazing musicians and super nice and friendly people - open to our wishes for the songs. We can highly recommend them! Thank you for making our wedding super special ♥️”

“Hiring Stefano and his band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They brought an incredible energy to the entire evening and created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for. From our first conversation, Stefano was easy to work with, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was just right. He took the time to understand what we wanted and went above and beyond by learning several songs that were important to us. The music was outstanding. The song selections felt perfectly tailored to our guests, and the dance floor stayed full all night long. We had so many people tell us afterward how amazing the band was and how much they added to the celebration. Not only are they exceptionally talented musicians, but they are also wonderful people who clearly care about delivering an unforgettable experience. We are so grateful to Stefano and his band for helping make our wedding such a memorable and special day.”

“Hi guys, We are currently on our honeymoon and we are still reliving all the moments from the wedding day. It was perfect in every way, better than we could ever have dreamed of, and that was also thanks to you! Your music was perfect for the welcome dinner and all of our guests were really positive about you. So the biggest thank you for your good vibes and great work! ❤️ With warm regards, Michiel & Roxy.”

“These guys gave us the BEST evening at our wedding, everyone loved them. People still comment to us a year later (sorry for the late review!!) how much fun they had because of the band and how they’d never danced for so long at a wedding. They were even kind enough to let our friend join them on bass for a few songs which was a lovely memory. Grazie per tutti guys, we loved it ❤️”

“Hi all! Thank you so much for an amazing performance on Saturday, we had such a blast and you were amazing!!! 🥰🥰🥰”

“Spectacular! The band is spectacular, good music, good musicians. We requested a special song for the guests of honour and the band promptly made themselves available to play the music we would sing. Thank you. I highly recommend them!”
