Lauren Roy Entertainment

Lauren’s angelic voice was the perfect addition to our wedding day. Her incredibly sweet and warm personality made the planning process an absolute breeze. Lauren was so easy to work with: flexible, accommodating and extremely professional. We developed a friendship throughout our time working together and it made it that much more special to have SteelRiver Duo and Southbound Soul perform on our big day. Lauren shared a genuine excitement for our celebration and we were honoured that she was a part of it.

We had SteelRiver Duo perform for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Their heavenly tunes created a perfect atmosphere for a very sentimental time. I made a special request for an acoustic version of Beyoncé’s “Halo” to be played as I walked down the aisle and I still get chills hearing Lauren’s beautiful voice on our video. She is perfection.

When it came time for the reception, Southbound Soul did NOT disappoint. They kept the dance floor packed all night long! Such natural professionals, they could sense what the crowd was feeling and kept the vibe rolling for hours. It was everything we could’ve hoped for – pure charisma, energy and the ability to keep our guests entertained.

Without a doubt, Lauren and her bands were the perfect music selection. Our expectations were beyond exceeded with their attention to detail, superior entertainment and immaculate vocals. We still get rave reviews from our guests saying they were the best live band they've ever heard at a wedding! People were blown away by their music.

I still wonder how we got so lucky?! If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to book SteelRiver Duo and/or Southbound Soul you absolutely MUST!!

Lauren Roy is an absolute professional. As a corporate event planner, I have come to learn that working with an entertainer who specializes in creating a seamless end-to-end experience for their clients is essential. Lauren does exactly this! From the moment we connect and book a date, through to the end of the event, I know Lauren has every minuscule detail covered.

I have worked with Lauren for a variety of corporate events over the past few years, using both bands – SteelRiver Duo and Southbound Soul. As a group, they are able to flawlessly adapt depending on the atmosphere I am trying to create, ranging from an upscale cocktail reception to a full blown dance party. Lauren and her crew perfectly read the crowd and know how to transition the vibe of an evening as it progresses. On numerous occasions I have had both venue managers and guests asking me for her information, as they were absolutely blown away. Having venue managers (who see top talent come through their doors on a weekly basis) complimenting Lauren speaks volumes to the professionalism and skill that she and her band possess.

I would not hesitate to book Lauren time and time again. Her attention to detail combined with sheer talent is rare to find, and makes working with her an absolute dream!

We really wanted a live band at our wedding and as soon as we met Lauren Roy and her band, SteelRiver Duo, we immediately knew we found the perfect band for our wedding!

Upon our first meeting with Lauren, we had a vague idea of what we wanted for our music selection but we were still unsure about a lot of song choices for our ceremony and first dances. Lauren was so helpful and guided us along the way giving us a list of songs she commonly uses and helped pick perfect selection of music for our particular venue and even special moments. Lauren even had phone conferences with us and our officiant to make sure our music selections ran smoothly. Lauren learned what our personalities and visions were and knew how to guide us to match the music. She was by our side all the way.

The day of our wedding, we did not have a designated coordinator and Lauren gladly stepped in, and supported us throughout the entire event. She helped time the procession, supported and worked with the MC when to make announcements, including making them herself during our reception, and through her music, she was able to make smooth transitions throughout the night that made our event flow from beginning to end.

Lauren and Will have such a beautiful sound and know how to play music in such a way that makes it truly their own style. They play various styles that grabs the attention of everyone. All of our guests truly enjoyed hearing Lauren's music and many of them are still asking us about her to possibly use at their future events!

To sum up, you will not be disappointed with Lauren Roy Entertainment.

To launch our refreshed brand, we wanted to create an atmosphere that allowed our guests to mingle, meet staff and tour our expanded facilities – all the while enjoying some delicious food and refreshments. SteelRiver’s soft vocals and smooth guitar added the perfect blend of musical accompaniment to our event. Lauren and Will gave us a superb performance and memorable evening. The compliments just keep coming. ~ Grand Wellness, Brantford, Ontario.
