A Night to Remember at Botleys Mansion
On 24th April 2025, Soulshine Band delivered an unforgettable night of live funk and soul at Botleys Mansion for Adam & Ishy’s wedding. From the moment our seven-piece line-up hit the stage for the First Dance, guests knew they were in for something special. Set against the majestic Palladian façade, with a classical fountain and 56 acres of rolling Surrey parkland, the evening unfolded over two high-energy sets and a seamless DJ finale by Ross. If you’re looking to hire a live wedding band or top-quality funk and soul band in Surrey, look no further.
Rave reviews from the bride and groom
“From the moment we were provided videos showing what sort of music they played we were really excited. We knew we wanted soul/Motown music which people could dance to and that’s exactly what we got! We booked Soulshine Band and had a 7 piece band and a DJ provided by the band to play whilst the band. We were so impressed – not only were the songs they played fantastic but they also kept our guests on the dance floor throughout the duration of the party which we stated was really important to us. They both played a huge part in making our wedding day what it was, leaving us with memories that will last forever. Thank you very much to Soulshine Band! 5*”” These heartfelt testimonials on our Testimonials page remind us why Soulshine Band is one of the UK’s leading live wedding bands.
