The Salutations

We spent ages looking for a band versatile enough to play our favourite soul and Motown tunes on our big day. From Al Green to Luther Vandross to the Jackson 5, these guys absolutely nailed it!

We couldn't have been more thrilled with the Salutations. Everyone kept coming up to us saying it was the best wedding band they'd ever heard. We couldn't agree more!

Thank you to the band - our guests never left the dance floor and my new wife couldn't have been more thrilled!
