Reviews

Book them! Our wedding reception was a dream come true and the Professors of Soul were the perfect band. Super professional and easy to work with, they drove at least 150 miles for our wedding. The Professors of Soul were recommended by a friend, but it turns out my wife and I used to go out to see Monty (and other members of the band, no doubt) play jazz at a local club when we lived in Greenville. The Professors of Soul really took our reception to the next level. We recommend the Professors for any occasion, and we hope to catch them next time we're in Greenville. --Sara P, 12/19/2009, Augusta, GA

These guys (and ladies too!) were INCREDIBLE. We had such a great time out on the dance floor at our wedding reception!! The group was so versatile...we heard all our favorite classic dance songs and some salsa and jazz too! (We've heard rave feedback from the wedding guests too) Thanks for making our reception so memorable and so much fun! We enjoyed everything!!! The Carson's -- Emily C, Highlands, NC, 6/26/2010

The Professors of Soul were just perfect for our event. They kept the mood up and played every type of music. The vocalists were awesome, and Monty Craig the leader was great to work with. -- Susan S, Greenville, SC, 12/12/2009

The Professors of Soul were an outstanding band for our reception! They were very accommodating to some last minute requests and totally professional throughout our interaction. I thought they were a good band listening to them online, but their performance at our wedding reception exceeded my expectations and beyond! They had half of our reception on the dance floor and kept the high energy of the crowd going all night. They are an incredibly talented group of musicians and I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. We received so many complements about how great the band was at the reception! -- Diana C, Asheville, NC, 1/17/2010

Easily one of the best bands we've ever had. Put on a great show with good crowd interaction. Played forever. Excellent playlist. Just kept on playing as long as we could dance. I was sore from dancing the next day. I would recommend them to anyone. They are a great value and more than well worth the money. -- Brann F, Greenville, SC, 3/6/2009

We've had the Professors of Soul play for us a few times and they've always been great! The music keeps everyone dancing and somehow they've gotten better and better the more times we've had them. They are awesome! -- Owen M, Greenville, SC, 2/16/2010

The best band. Period. Exclamation point! They learned and played our special song for our first dance. They did a great job keeping the reception events organized and rolling along. They brought fun instruments like maracas for the guests to play with. They were all very talented and played great dance-able music that had everyone (Grandma, Grandpa, Uncles, Aunts, friends and cousins, young and old alike) out on the dance floor rocking out with their socks out. It was like they sprinkled some sort of crazy magic dust over the entire party because we never, in 3 hours, saw the dance floor empty. We highly recommend them for you and yours. -- David W, Augusta, GA, 7/30/2011

Professors of Soul were AWESOME!! So professional and showed up very early. They communicated quickly and were such a joy to deal with. They even learned special songs for our first dances for no charge - such a treat! Would highly, highly recommend them! Everyone was on the dance floor until their very last song. -- Laura M, Charleston, SC, 6/18/2011

We can't say enough about The Professors of Soul! They were so fun and so talented!! Everyone had a great time and were asking who they were and where we had found them. They were perfect! Couldn't have asked for more. -- Christina & Stephen, Easley, SC, 1/15/2011

The Professors of Soul were wonderful!! When I first heard them play at my brother's wedding, I knew they were the band that I wanted to have at my reception. Monty was very pleasant to work with, and the cost was very reasonable. My husband and I wanted a Black Keys song for our first dance, and we were so excited with the result!! It was awesome when two singers got on the dance floor and showed us a fun group dance. I would definitely recommend The Professors or Soul to anyone who wants great music, beautiful voices, and a spectacular performance! -- Carson H, Pendleton, SC, 10/9/2010

The Professors of Soul were nothing but professional. Coming from a musical background, I can say that each memeber added to the overall talent of the group. I will without any reserve recommend the Professors of Soul to anyone needing a great time with wonderful musicians. -- Erin D, Pickens, SC, 8/7/2010

Monty was great to work with. I had two other bands at my wedding, and Monty coordinated with them beautifully. The band was fabulous overall. Everyone had a wonderful time dancing to their music. I would absolutely recommend this band to others. -- Natalie M, 5/29/2010, Sapphire, NC

I LOVE this band! They are so fun and can get the crowd in the mood! I love that they bring percussion instruments to involve the crowd also! They are amazing! Could not have been more pleased! -- Caroline G, 5/15/2010, Augusta, GA

The Professors of Soul truly made our reception a great experience!!!! The Professors of Soul were remarkably easy to work with and they even offered to learn a few songs for us. All night people approached my wife and I and asked how we found them and said that they were the best band they had ever seen at a reception. The energy from the band showed on the dance floor as they kept people dancing up until it was time to leave. I would recommend them to ANYONE who enjoys a great band and most importantly, talented musicians. Go with the Professors of Soul, and you will not be disappointed. --Hunter H, 4/3/2010, Greenville, SC

For this event, we had to coordinate many acts, sponsors, and even a last-minute rain call. The Professors of Soul were so great to work with and were more than accommodating when we wanted a swing dance performance group to be able to dance with the band. We really loved having them at the event and thought it was a great fit! I would highly recommend this group to anyone! -- Katherine B, Clemson, SC, 11/14/2008
