I've never heard Misery Business, Shake it Off, Mr. Brightside, and so many other non-piano songs in this format. And what's more, you wouldn't even really know unless you knew it was pianos because it sounded so good! Dance floor was hopping all night and everyone had a great time! Highly recommend for weddings, but I'm sure they'd be great supporting any kind of event!

Rudy was amazing and by far the best communicator of any vendor we had for our wedding. Rudy would respond to any email no matter what time of day or night within minutes. He would always contact us to make sure they had everything they needed from us. This made it so easy for us, as most of the other vendors required us to contact them and would get delayed responses if at all. If you are looking for a great wedding band, fantastic music, and great communication, look no further, this will be the best decision you will make!

You cannot have a great wedding reception without great music--and Soul City Shakedown certainly…read moredelivered! With the big sound of its brass section to the mesmerizing vocals of its singers, this band had all our guests dancing all night! Besides its unrivalled raw musical talent, Soul City Shakedown has something that all the other wedding bands we saw lacked...Passion! This passion is what elevated the music and the experience our guest had to the next level. In fact, it was readily apparent to our guests that the band was having just as much fun as they were!! Not only did the elite members of Soul City Shakedown have passion for the music and the performance, they also had passion for their clients. This wasn't just another paid wedding gig for the band; from the start Jon Ardito, the band's manager and drummer, showed us that he cared about us and our experience by providing first rate customer service. He was extremely responsive, flexible, and always put my fiancée and I first. Jon made it his mission to go the extra mile to ensure each and every detail of our reception was perfect. For example, the band learned several new songs to ensure we heard all our favorite tunes at our reception. We wholeheartedly recommend Soul City Shakedown to any couple looking for an accommodating, passionate, and highly talented band that will certainly deliver an unforgettable reception. In fact, my brother (a professional musician) and his fiancee have already booked Soul City Shakedown for their wedding in September!

The reason why I gave 1 star is because he is very expensive and did a very poor job. I gave him a…read moresong list a few months before and told him I wanted old school hip hop and R&B which is music from the 80's and 90's. It was my 50th birthday and while I was getting dressed I could hear the music and was very disappointed. I told my coordinator please tell him to play the music I gave him. To his credit, he changed the music choice but not to what I gave him. By the way, my dad complained about the music too. He said the first 2 hours no one was dancing because no one knew the music he was playing. My dad said that he and two other people asked him to change the music. He never even scratched the turntables which is a normal practice when DJs play old school hip hop. He just played music from his computer and made a few announcements. At one point, I even had to ask him to play one of my favorite songs by Meek Mills which again was on my song list (I'm a true Philly girl at heart) There were several times I even glanced up at the booth and he was sitting chilling talking to his colleague who worked the photo booth. After the party and everything settled down, I looked over my song list and noticed that he only played 4 songs from my list of 30 songs. I reached out to him and shared this information with him along with my original playlist, and his response was, I played most of the songs, and when you were on the dance floor I played the songs you liked, and I kept people on the dance floor. First of all, I only danced 3 times and that was with me asking him to play 2 of those songs. As far as keeping people on the dance floor that was the last hour or two of my 5 hour party. I was paying the bill and it was my birthday celebration, so all of my songs should have been played. I was really looking forward to him coming and expected much more from him, especially for what he charged me (over $2000 including photo booth) Maybe I just caught him on a bad day, but I was very disappointed.

According to the company they could not provide that. So we had to supply the mic stands and clip-on mic (with receiver). They did end up providing mics, but it was after much discussion. The DJ performance was ok, but I did not love the transitions between songs, especially since some songs skipped in the middle. With that being said, their price was cheaper than many others and the DJ (Nate) was pleasant to deal with, however he can be opinionated (given his experience). I guess you get what you pay for. Also given that they are an established company, I was really skeptical given that they did not have many reviews on yelp. Once we signed up, the email exchanges were not very professional while discussing details. Their level of organization could be better as well.

He was funny and interacted with everyone! He did not miss a beat and he was the reason that the entire reception ran smoothly! I don't Pyle recommend this Company and especially Nate to anyone and everyone! He is a true professional and was the best asset to our wedding! Everyone loved him! Thanks again Nate and PSR!!

I had such high hopes of Cescaphe after being a guest at several weddings.... and I will never see…read morethem in the same light again. Maybe covid just brought out the worst in this wedding company but our experience was not one of butterflies and excitement. We originally booked The Lucy for 11/2020, when COVID started and things were looking grim I tried to be proactive and move the date-- I was told at that time to sit tight because they weren't dealing with us yet. So we did just that, then when it was our turn they offered us dates at the Lucy in 2022, or Feb 2021 which wasn't far off and felt unrealistic but I tried to be optimistic. We booked it for February to be optimistic and eventually ended up having to move it again. At that time we were offered even later dates at the Lucy or we could switch to their outdoor venue for October. We wanted to do right by Cescaphe and so we postponed again and this is where it all went downhill. We had to first pay additional fora park rental fee and the venue, which lacked so many things The Lucy had. We complied and moved forward. When we went to see the venue for the first time it didn't look like the stock photos-- the bar was broken, there was drapery thrown up on pillars haphazardly, there was a bridal suit that was a shed, the grass was over grown and there was bird poop on the floors so needless to say we were disappointed. We had many questions on that tour about what we could and couldn't do and every question answer was " we will get back to you." It often took weeks for them to get back Truthfully that is a horrible business model and they need to better educate the ones that are on site and helping clients. We ultimately hired an outside event designer to help elevate this space. She and her team were faced with so many obstacles from this venue. The owner, Joe Volpe was not easy to work with through the whole process. We ended up missing out on a few of our rental items because near the end of the planning process Joe wanted to be in control of the rentals, and then dropped the ball letting down the client. This is not how you run a business. He refused to let them set up early on the day of the wedding, although the space was empty but offered them to come on Thursday to set up. Mind you, my wedding was on Saturday, so the wedding on Friday was going to get all my decor ideas on my dime... again this just isn't how you run a business. When the class action suit came up in regards to Cescaphe, I was contacted and I wanted to stay positive and declined being involved and I regret that decision. They are a wedding pumping company, who has very little flexibility to their venues and ultimately only cares about the money. If I could do this again, I would have left Cescaphe completely out of my wedding day and used EVERY other vendor who worked with us to make our day truly special. Take a hint and prioritize the client, not the dollar signs.
