80s Soul DJ for Weddings, Birthdays & Soul Nights
Love Soul Music? So Do We.
If you’re looking for an 80s Soul DJ to bring unforgettable energy to your wedding, birthday or soul party, you’re in the right place.
At Herts Events, we specialise in soul, funk, and rare groove DJ sets that get everyone on their feet. Whether you’re after a retro wedding DJ experience or planning a soul-themed party, we tailor every set to your exact vibe and musical taste.
Why 80s Soul Still Fills the Dancefloor
There’s something timeless about 80s soul music. The rich vocals, smooth basslines, and uplifting grooves make it a top choice for weddings and events across the UK.
As a trusted soul wedding DJ, I’ve seen these tracks light up dancefloors in Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridgeshireand beyond. From Luther Vandross to The Whispers, our sets are full of soulful hits and nostalgic favourites.
Better still, we take guest requests on the night and offer pre-event consultations to create your perfect playlist.
