Your Favourite Songs,
Arranged For You

Our Musical Director and expert team of arrangers create bespoke arrangements for the moments that matter most, tailored to your celebration and chosen ensemble.
We can also create arrangements around cultural and religious traditions, tailoring the repertoire to your celebration rather than the other way around.
Whatever the occasion, bespoke arrangements bring a personal touch to the music you love.

Wedding Entertainment | FAQ
Can We Book Urban Soul Orchestra For Our Entire Wedding Day?

With one dedicated team and a single point of contact, every musical moment is planned seamlessly with your wedding planner and venue. We also offer bespoke multi-ensemble packages, providing exceptional value while creating a beautifully cohesive experience.
Can We Book Just One Ensemble?
Of course. There is no minimum booking with USO. Whether you’re looking for a string quartet for your ceremony, musicians for your drinks reception or a showband for the evening, each ensemble can be booked individually.
Do You Work Directly With Wedding Planners?
Yes. We regularly work alongside wedding planners, venues and production teams, taking care of timings, technical requirements, logistics and musical details. For destination weddings, we can also assist with the travel and logistics required to bring USO to your celebration.
How Much Does it Cost to Book Urban Soul Orchestra for a Wedding?
Every wedding is different, so each proposal is created around your chosen ensembles, timings, location and requirements. There is no minimum booking, and when multiple ensembles are combined, secondary ensembles can be provided at cost.
What Size Ensembles Do You Offer?
Our key to success is ensuring every ensemble is perfectly tailored to the audience size and our client’s vision. That’s why all of our line-ups are fully scalable, from soloists, duos and quartets to 6, 8 and 10-piece bands, right through to our 50-piece orchestra.
Do You Only Provide Orchestral Ensembles?
While orchestral music is at the heart of USO, our ensembles span a huge range of genres and line-ups. From full showbands with drums, keys, guitar and vocals to jazz bands, solo DJs and Ibiza-inspired DJ Live sets, we can build the perfect line-up around your event.
