Would 10000% recommend! Lots of love, Mr & Mrs Goodman x"

"Words cannot describe how incredible The Scottish Soul Collective were at our wedding! From start to finish they went above and beyond, and kept our guests dancing all night long! They learnt our first dance song perfectly and we have received so many compliments from guests on how incredible the performance was!

I want to organise another event just so I can experience the band again, they are the best there is!"
"Good afternoon Tom, We had an absolutely amazing evening at Boclair on the 29th with you guys. Please pass our sincere thanks on to your band. The first dance interpretation was incredible and was exactly what we wanted. You guys nailed it! Many thanks again, Greg & Natalie."
"I would highly recommend The Scottish Soul Collective! We had them for our wedding and the talent and skill of the musicians is amazing. Set up went very smoothly without any need for us to be involved, they just made it all work! We had a 7 piece band playing which we think worked very well. It feels like the additional cost for two more band members (upgrading from the standard 5 piece band) definitely seems worthwhile and good value. We had a couple of requests but otherwise the band put together their own set list and all the tunes were brilliant and got everyone dancing the whole night long! Emails with Tom in advance of the wedding were very professional and communication was clear and prompt. 10 / 10 from me!"

"We could not be happier with The Scottish Soul Collective: they had everyone up on the dance floor for every single number and were able to play our first dance request perfectly! Everyone who attended commented on how technically brilliant, fun, and enthusiastic the band were. Thank you guys for making it such a fantastic party!"
"What a fantastic evening The Scottish Soul Collective provided for us! From the start they were so easy to work with and played our first dance song to perfection. Such talented singers and musicians and the tunes kept coming all evening. What an incredible selection of songs that got everyone of all ages dancing. We’ve been asked so many times about booking them by our guests. We all had so much fun all evening because they looked like they were having a blast performing. Thanks to Tom and all the band for arguably the best part of our day, after getting married of course!"
"The Scottish Soul Collective, specifically Tom, were amazing to us during what for many has been a difficult time (organising a wedding during the pandemic). We booked the band as an 8 piece a couple of years ago, after seeing them play a few times in Edinburgh at the Grass Market. Covid struck and restrictions were ever-changing. This left us in a position where we felt the best thing to do was to cancel a lot of our vendors including the band. They were very understanding and were so good about it that we wanted to go back to them once things started to settle. When it came to it, we did just that and got back in touch with Tom. Restricted by numbers we could only have 3 band members. We really wanted a jazzy feel to the band so Tom suggested a sax, guitar and vocalist. A strange mix but they made it work, even sending us some demos. Come our wedding day, The Scottish Soul Collective arrived well on time. We were running late but they rolled with it, set up quickly and played an amazing unique version of Kodaline - the one including sax for our first dance. A performance we will never forget. With restrictions they could not play loud music for us to dance to but their selection of music for the background was ace and they interacted with guests well during their breaks. We are hoping to have a proper party in a few years once covid is over and will 100% approach these guys again. Couldn't rate them highly enough."

"Hi Tom, Just want to say a massive thanks for the performance the other night! Absolutely loved every minute of it and you guys were amazing for the first dance. Thanks for helping make it such a special day for us. Will be recommending you to everyone I know for future weddings and hope to hear you guys again soon! Thanks again, Joe."
"The Scottish Soul Collective were awesome. We and all our guests absolutely loved them. People on the dance floor all night long. Couldn't recommend them more! Thanks, Alfred."
"The Scottish Soul Collective were fantastic! They took care of everything on our wedding day, from background music to the evening's entertainment. We cannot recommend them enough."
"Thank you for making the event a huge success, I couldn't have done it without you. The songs you played were great and everyone had a great night. I'll be recommending you for future events."
"We could not be happier with The Scottish Soul Collective: they had everyone up on the dance floor for every single number and were able to play our first dance request perfectly! Everyone who attended commented on how technically brilliant, fun, and enthusiastic the band were. Thank you guys for making it such a fantastic party!"
"What a fantastic evening The Scottish Soul Collective provided for us! From the start they were so easy to work with and played our first dance song to perfection. Such talented singers and musicians and the tunes kept coming all evening. What an incredible selection of songs that got everyone of all ages dancing. We’ve been asked so many times about booking them by our guests. We all had so much fun all evening because they looked like they were having a blast performing. Thanks to Tom and all the band for arguably the best part of our day, after getting married of course!"
"The Scottish Soul Collective, specifically Tom, were amazing to us during what for many has been a difficult time (organising a wedding during the pandemic). We booked the band as an 8 piece a couple of years ago, after seeing them play a few times in Edinburgh at the Grass Market. Covid struck and restrictions were ever-changing. This left us in a position where we felt the best thing to do was to cancel a lot of our vendors including the band. They were very understanding and were so good about it that we wanted to go back to them once things started to settle. When it came to it, we did just that and got back in touch with Tom. Restricted by numbers we could only have 3 band members. We really wanted a jazzy feel to the band so Tom suggested a sax, guitar and vocalist. A strange mix but they made it work, even sending us some demos. Come our wedding day, The Scottish Soul Collective arrived well on time. We were running late but they rolled with it, set up quickly and played an amazing unique version of Kodaline - the one including sax for our first dance. A performance we will never forget. With restrictions they could not play loud music for us to dance to but their selection of music for the background was ace and they interacted with guests well during their breaks. We are hoping to have a proper party in a few years once covid is over and will 100% approach these guys again. Couldn't rate them highly enough."
