"Vicky and Soulstice,
Thank you a million times. I cannot even begin to express how thankful I am to have had you a part of our wedding. From the first moment I met you, I was at ease with this phase of the wedding planning. This was huge as we were planning our "big day" from Texas. I had gotten a great feeling that Soulstice would be amazing but you far exceeded my expectations! I have gotten countless compliments from our guests saying it was "the most fun they have ever had at a wedding". Thank you for your energy and for making mine and Andrew's wedding a night we and all of our guests shall not forget.
Thanks again, Mysti N. S."

"SOULSTICE, Your performance at our wedding was amazing. Friends and family continue to rave about not only how well you played, but how well you were able to gauge the flow and keep people engaged from the first dance to the last one. People were dancing and smiling all night long. Aside from the reception, I also want to thank you Vicky for your help with the rehearsal and actual ceremony. You helped decrease my stress tremendously and were wonderful at cue-ing people for the processional.
Warmly, Naomi & Paul."

“ Dear Vicky & Chris and the rest of your fabulous musicians! Thank you so incredibly much for making our wedding a smashing success. From beginning to end, SOULSTICE, ( and especially Vicky! ) made our wedding day flow perfectly, logically and enthusiastically. Even before the wedding day, when we had our planning meetings, we felt completely at ease that all things musical would go off without a hitch. It only got better from there. The musicians for the ceremony and cocktails were talented, involved and professional - and SOULSTICE!.....I don’t even know where to begin! You were fantastic! You got everybody dancing- and I mean everybody - and kept them there all night. Even my husband’s grandmother was on the floor! Everyone from 7 to 77 got out there. On top of the fabulous music, Vicky’s emceeing talents truly put everyone at ease, helped the guests to participate in the festivities and generally kept the good mood going all night. Thank you, thank you, thank you, - a million times thank you. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without you.
Yours affectionately, Lisa and Andy ” London, England. ( Wedding held in Santa Fe N.M. )

I can't thank you enough for making Allison and Cullen's wedding a success. You even got Cullen on the dance floor! Everyone raved about the great band and the music. It was a magical evening capped by the falling snow. We will have memories for years to come and you and your band helped make everything perfect.
Sincerely, Cindy."

"Soulstice is a great band and they really connected with our guests. What impressed me most however was their professionism. They know what to do and how to do it and for a bride with a thousand things going on they are a pleasure to deal with."

"Dear Vicky and Chris,
We would like you to know how wonderful you and your band were for our wedding. You contributed so much to making it a special, memorable event. What really stands out for us was your extensive experience specifically with weddings. Because of your experience, you knew how to plan and implement a great program for the evening. You knew just the components that would make the evening go smoothly and allow everyone to have a great time, from the way that you announced the introduction and first dance to the way that you coordinated the toasts. You personally have great style and composure and related very well to the group. One of our favorite parts was the “love songs”. You did a great job involving everyone and every table enjoyed doing a song. The other exceptional aspect of the evening was how people of all ages got on the dance floor and really enjoyed themselves. Your music selection and wonderfully talented band inspired all of the guests to get up and have a great time dancing. We received many compliments of “great band” or “one of the best wedding bands ever”. Your selection of songs was appropriate, fun, and great for all generations. We appreciated your flexibility adding our friend Ben’s song to the line up during the reception. It also meant so much to us that you learned our first dance song. It sounded beautiful and the timing was right on with our dance.
Thank you very much. Christina and Hans-Peter

"Dear Chris & Vicky, Glamour & Gauze was a complete success. We sold out! And, had a sellout silent and live auction all of which netted the Hospital Foundation over $90,000 for the pediatric area of the new Emergency Department expansion and renovation. Our guests loved your music -- obvious from the number of people crowding the dance floor-- some of them staying till the last note was played. I believe we plan to continue the dinner/dance combination as a fundraisier and hope you and your band will be available. Thank you for helping us put on a fun evening for our guests.

I really appreciate everything.
Best regards, Jacee"

"OH, OH, OH WHAT FUN THAT WAS! The Wolf wedding at Bishop's Lodge Oct. 23 was the best party of the year due to the warm, fun-loving spirit of your band! The band had youngsters ages 8-89 having a ball on the dance floor! Thank you so very much!!! My cousins from Texas will be talking about it for years! Who knows how many more weddings in Santa Fe will come out of that great evening!

“ Dear Chris, I cannot tell you how much we appreciated and enjoyed your band at my parents wedding anniversary. There is not one thing I can think of that would have made it better. I loved the interaction with the guests, and each table singing a love song and watching my parents kiss……. all of it was wonderful! Thank you so much. You truly are the best band in Santa Fe. My family loved you so much that I will not be surprised to see you again at our next family function.

“Vicky & Chris, J
ust a note to say thank you for a job well done . As you probably noticed every one had a great time dancing. My only regret is that we did not have more time to dance. Your group was entirely professional and a delight to work with. I will not be in charge of this particular event next year but I will recommend getting the date to you in order to pencil us in. Thank you for your part in making Santa Fe prep’s Gala a huge success and a fun party.
Sincerely, Denise”

FUNDRAISER - Eldorado Hotel
" Dear Vicky & Chris,
I was so impressed with the quality and diversity of the music, how well you worked the crowd, and the excitement level that you maintained in the room. It was so much fun to see teenagers dancing next to seniors and that the energy level of the room was " over the top! " Everyone praised your performance. That was the largest number of people dancing at our event in the 12 years since we started.
Thanks again, so very much." Timothy. Entertainment Chair Person, Aid & Comfort Annual fundraising committee
( with over 2000 total in attendance, SOULSTICE packed the Eldorado Hotel ballroom to capacity with cheering, applauding dancers for over 2 hours)
WEDDING - La Fonda Hotel
“ Vicky & Chris,
Thank you so much for the music! We are still getting phone calls from our friends telling us how much fun they had and how much they loved the band…………. as we all suspected its all about the music……. I don’t know if they noticed anything else. Some people thought we must have hired a band from New York and that it couldn’t be a local Santa Fe band, others thought it must have been two bands as the cocktail / dinner Jazz & Swing and then the R & B, Funk, Disco & Rock Dance music later on were both so good. Thanks again for agreeing to play the extra 1/2 hour, no one wanted to go home!
