Lauren Roy is an absolutely incredible individual! She assisted me in planning an amazing surprise 40th birthday party for my wife. We started planning almost a year out from the date and she was with me every step of the way; identifying the perfect band (Cat Bernardi AMAZING!) to play the event, assisting with a surprise musical performer and his staff, coordinating all of the stage elements and going out of the way to make herself available for any questions or last minute request I had. She is truly amazing and really cares about the clients she takes on I always had the sense that she cared just as much as I did in terms of the overall success of my event I (we) were so lucky to have found her and honestly, I wish I was planning an event with her every weekend! PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH HER FOR ANY MUSICAL EVENTS, YOU WILL NOT REGRET THE DECISION !!!

Sometimes your peers can your harshest critics.
I'm a foodie which means I can easily recognize quality in flavors, ingredients and when someone's passion for what they do is infused into a meal.
I'm also a musician which means that I can quickly tell when performers are as soulful, talented, and genuinely invested as Lauren Roy and her colleague Will (Steel River Duo).
My team and I recently had the pleasure and privilege of having them perform during our Holiday event, and they were perfect in every way!
The set-list included a contemporary classics from the likes of John Mayer, Simply Red, Tom Petty, The Jackson 5, Ed Sheeran (to name just a few) as well as beautiful renditions of Christmas Standards that sounded magical in Lauren's voice.
If you value quality, talent and class, you do not want to have anyone else perform at your event.

Having Southbound Soul perform at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! They performed amazing sets that had nearly everyone dancing all night. We had so many positive comments from our guests and overall our expectations were exceeded all around.

Not only did Lauren make our evening great, it was a true pleasure working with her. We left every call feeling reassured and excited for the big day. Throughout the planning, she was very professional, organized, kind and flexible while also offering helpful suggestions. We had a particular layout for the speeches, dinner and dancing and Lauren was very accommodating with providing perfect audio throughout the night.

We loved the French flair of the song arrangements over dinner and were so thrilled with the Mo-town vibe that Southbound Soul brought to party. We asked them to learn a favourite song, and it was just perfect.

We recommend them without reservation. They will make your event or wedding better than you can even imagine!

SteelRiver and Southbound Soul were such a joy to have at our wedding! Lauren Roy was extremely professional, organized and delightful to work with from start to finish. We had SteelRiver perform during cocktail hour and Southbound Soul bring out the party after dinner. Many of our guests complimented on the live band's performance and the energy they brought to the wedding. We only wished we could have been present to enjoy the cocktail hour music more ourselves! Lauren Roy has an infectious enthusiasm and warm personality that can clearly be heard in her singing. She even learned a new song for us upon request which was performed as the last song. What a way perfect way to finish the night!
