Because I am a child of the internet, my search for a GTA MC with the ability to speak Canto, Mando, and English led me to Roy's Weddingwire profile, then his Facebook, then his impressive highlight reel. He seemed energetic, fun, and most importantly, reasonably priced! He also has a team that does DJ-ing. Perfect. We exchanged emails over the year of planning, answered some questions, but ultimately, I didn't get the full effect of his awesomeness until the day of. The games he played were a total surprise to us and he planned everything with some input from us on comfort level. The end result? Perfectly professional, brought hype to the room like no other, and made everyone's night! His games were unique, and most importantly, interactive. You know that shoe game so many people play? (Couple back-to-back, raises shoes for answers to "who is more likely..." questions). Cute, simple, but really kinda the same after awhile. Roy put his own spin on it and brought the audience in so in the end, everyone was having fun! He worked diligently with our vendors. Along with our coordinator, the timing was well-paced. Delays were handled seamlessly. He juggled between languages perfectly. Friends and family alike couldn't stop raving about how great our host was, citing him as one of the highlights of the wedding. A couple of them even grabbed his card for future reference. Commanding a huge room with a diverse crowd like a wedding? That's a damn hard job. Good thing there's a pro like Roy who absolutely kills it. Bring him into your next event for a good time and stay cautious, you never know what kinda crazy might happen with Roy in the director's seat. ;) (58/100) - 2018

Roy was so much more than just our MC. He was our GM for the reception and the entertainer. By the…read moretime it got to the reception half of the day was done and the timing of events for the reception was much more detailed. Even with a schedule I planned just weeks before Roy was able to run the whole show as if we had rehearsed it and planned every detail. This gave us incredible peace of mind. Roy was truly the professional MC. He spoke eloquently and was able to cater to a room of people that spoke 3 languages and have them all laugh. It was a Filipino- Chinese wedding and both sides were entertained by the games that we played and the flow of the night. When my hard- to -please aunt told my dad after the wedding that she was impressed by the MC I knew that we had chosen right. He prepared the bridal party along the way by reminding us if there was a dress change to be done, a slide show coming up or a speech. The wedding went by fast especially with so much fun and we truly appreciate Roy's ability to manage us. We opted to have his DJ come with him and it was another great choice. She was amazing. She was completely in tune with what the guests wanted to hear and had us dancing until the venue had to close. Choosing Roy was one of the best decisions we had for our wedding. He was respectful, always responded promptly to our emails, and worked the room effortlessly. 20 or 50 years from now when I remember our wedding I'm going to remember our night was successful with the help of our amazing MC, Roy the ProMC!

He hooked into the speakers at the venue, and we had absolutely no technical issues. The DJ matched the playlist that I requested with songs that mix in well with it.

He brought a multi coloured light that added a very nice pop to the dance floor.

Whenever we'd message her we'd get an almost instant response, and she'd reply to many (many!) messages per day. We got a great deal on their services through a website that offered good deals, and they're one of the vendors we're very happy with. The owner, Rod, was also very helpful and would go out of his way to make sure we could take advantage of the offer they had. When the time came, we went to their office to see what lighting equipment they had to offer. There were tons of options, from all sorts of intelligent lights to uplights to projectors and screens. Brent, one of their DJs, explained everything to us and made sure we got a package that was exactly what we were looking for. Until we get married, we have the task of coming up with play lists (do not play, please play, cultural music requests, etc) using their extensive and user-friendly website. We feel very confident that our experience with them will continue to be a good one, as we have never (ever!) had any reason from them to believe otherwise. If you'd like to see some videos of their DJs in action, please see their channel on youtube. The user name is MaximumMusicDJ http://www.youtube.com/user/MaximumMusicDJ

We are SO HAPPY that we picked Sole Power as our wedding band for our destination wedding at the…read moreOmni King Edward Hotel in Toronto. They were one of our first decisions in wedding planning and one of the best we made. Sole Power exceeded all our hopes and dreams for a wedding band, and were nothing short of outstanding. From the moment our ceremony began at 5:00 p.m. until the very last song around 1:00 a.m., they played straight through with no breaks--and kept the energy sky-high the entire time. This was a special request and they DELIVERED! What made it even more special was that it didn't just feel like they were performing--it felt like they were having fun right along with us. Their energy was contagious, the dance floor was packed all night, and our guests could not stop (and have not stopped) raving about them. People are still telling us how we had the best wedding band of all weddings they've ever attended! Sole Power transformed our wedding from great to a spectacular party, and we are so grateful we chose them. If you want a band that will make your celebration unforgettable, Sole Power is it.

The lead singer Marla has one of the best voices I've ever heard, backed by extremely talented musicians. They put on an incredible show. They played the perfect balance of top 40 and universally known songs like "rock with you" by Lionel Ritchie, and even played a special song for our entrance music. The ages of our guests ranged from early 30's to mid 70's, and everyone was on the floor dancing at some point of the night. We also booked one of their DJs and got some lighting from them. The administrative team were accommodating, organized and responsive. Thank you to Abby and Danae and the Sole Power band for making my wedding sound and look so great! I highly recommend Sole Power Productions!

I hired them because of their advertising and reputation for providing exceptional entertainment services. I COMPLETELY REGRET HIRING S4 and Peter and Pauls. We provided them with a music list of songs to play and indicated clearly that we want the DJ to play music with the same vibe. We hired them for a very special occasion which was my 50th birthday party at a hall and we paid their fee of almost $2000 because we were assured that we would get quality services. We got the worst possible services in that the DJ kept playing 70s and 80s music when we specifically outlined in the agenda they provided us thar we wanted current music like the music list we provided them with and they promised to follow. The inappropriate music the DJ kept playing throughout most of the party ruined the atmosphere of the party and our guests felt awkward as did my husband and I. Our guests did not feel like dancing to this music and asked us where we got this DJ from. They told us that the music selection was very bad and that it made them feel awkward. My husband, best friend and I approached the DJ and asked him politely to stop playing this old music and to play current music, including playing the music list we provided to liven up the party because nobody wanted to dance to the music he kept playing. The DJ listened to our request however he completely disregarded our input and he kept playing this older and inappropriate music. The entire purpose of hiring S4 and Peter and Pauls was to ensure we had a party atmosphere where everyone would dance to celebrate this milestone birthday. They completely failed to provide us with quality music and as a result our guests were not inclined to dance and a lot of guests left early because the party wasn't lively due to the horrible music selection the DJ was playing. The DJ also failed to provide any interactive activities with the guests as was promised by S4 and as indicated in the agenda we provided them with. The demeanor of the DJ in his discussion with us was indifferent and cold. This demeanor was also observed by our guests who noted that it looked like he didn't want to be there and showed absolutely no enthusiasm or even a smile while he played music. This is completely unacceptable in this industry to conduct oneself in such an indifferent manner. In addition, we noted that he drank several cans of beers and lined up the empty cans in a row on the stage. We found this very unprofessional and disrespectful to us and our guests. This is disgraceful behaviour which demonstrates a complete disregard for our party. The DJ provided by S4 didn't even know how to properly hold the microphone and speak into it. He had his mouth right on the microphone which caused a big distortion in what he was saying when he addressed the audience. My best friend had to show him that he had to pull the mic back to be heard clearly. The DJ brought 2 speakers and subwoofers, but he didn't even hook up the subwoofers and/or they didn't work. This was very apparent in that the music he played had absolutely no base. As anyone would agree having no base in the midi would most certainly affect how well the music is heard and felt by people. We went through the extra expense of hiring a videographer to have beautiful memories of this milestone celebration, however this was a waste of money because the footage reflects the horrible atmosphere created by the DJ. It's extremely sad and disappointing that I can't get a redo of this party because the damage has already been done by S4 and Peter and Pauls. When I expressed my dissatisfaction with the services provided to S4 via email, S4 dismissed my concerns and informed me that they fulfilled their contractual obligations and stated the following: "I do apologize that your experience with S4 was not what you were expecting however music is subjective..." A response like this is completely unacceptable and unprofessional as any reasonable person would agree. In light of the horrible experience I had with S4 and Peter and Pauls, I personally would never recommend their services. PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHO YOU HIRE.

We're from out of town, so it was their website that initially won us over; this was clearly an amazing group of performers, and their song selection was precisely what we were hoping for. From there, we got into Skype contact with James, who was immediately charming, obliging, and very practical. Which set another precedent: that this is a group of professionals. There was zero friction in the preparation. Could they travel to Niagara-on-the-Lake? Absolutely. And stay late? Sure. Learn a song? Yes. Accommodate a father-daughter dance, pause their set for a brief ceremony at midnight, play something on loop for a traditional Slovakian wedding dance? No problems. And they had recommendations and advice at every turn. The day of, they showed up early and handled all their prep. They managed to tiptoe in during the speeches, perfectly timed for the first dance. A miscue on our part was handled in stride, and all night they were totally attentive to both us and our guests. It goes without saying that the music was incredible, that everyone was up and dancing, that the vocalist was out of this world and that our man James killed it on trumpet. Having the St. Royals relieved us of so much worry. We had no qualms about relying on them, and our experience bore that out: they were consummate professionals, and amazing performers. Our guests are still raving about the quality of the music. And please, whatever you do: don't forget the brass.
