Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired The 12 South Band

If you’re looking for a phenomenal dance/party band, is within your budget, just stop. Stop right now. BOOK THEM ASAP!

We have bands come here all the time and there has never been one this good. Everyone here was absolutely stunned and was on the dance floor from beginning to end. And get this… In 3 hours time they NEVER took a break. Unbelievable!

They will be back, that’s for sure!

Drop whatever you are doing and immediately book this band!

It will be hands-down the best money you spend. I had my wedding in Charlotte and we had so much trouble finding a band there that we liked.

After we watched and cringed at every promo video for every band in the city, my hubby had the genius idea to go farther afield and look for someone. I was a little worried about the added travel cost, but it was super reasonable we ended up paying about the same for what we would have for a Charlotte-based band.

They were incredibly easy to work with and were all such wonderful human beings! And as soon as their performance started – my mind was blown. Their energy level was off the charts and their costume changes and light effects added to our excitement.

My photographer even commented that at one point she had trouble taking fun pics of us because we were all just staring open-mouthed watching the band like we were at an epic concert! But don’t worry, the staring quickly turned to dancing and that dancing did not stop. We danced and sang along with the band til 1am with only a short break.

They had such a great music range so there was something for everyone. We were shocked that by the end of the night almost everyone, regardless of age, was still there dancing the night away. Thank you guys for an epic night. You’re welcome back in Charlotte anytime!

This band was the highlight of our daughter’s wedding reception! Everyone was up dancing and celebrating. Played 4 hours with only a 10 minute break, and the dance floor was packed. Can’t say enough good things in such a small space; just don’t look anywhere else.

BOOK THEM. I never talked to them, all arrangements done via emails and they did not fail to meet our every expectation. Every guest came up to us saying this was the best band they’ve ever heard. Hire them now and don’t look further. You will not regret it!

I have been thinking about how I wanted to write this review because I felt an obligation to make it perfect.

I feel like I owe it to them – and you will too after the Band performs at your reception. This is because you will become a fan of this group for life – and in the days and weeks and months after your big day, you and your guests will still be talking about them and will still be riding that incredible high from having attended the coolest party on the biggest day of your life.

Quite simply, this is a superbly-talented group of musicians and performers who will alter the universe on your wedding night. As a recent groom who was married in September 2016, the Band performed at our reception at the Cleveland Museum of Art and I can say without hyperbole that the adjectives phenomenal, extraordinary, and masterful are still limited in their ability to describe them, their talent, and the energy they brought to our evening.

Every single guest was blown away by how spectacular this band was and how much fun they had at our reception. So many guests told us this was the best wedding they ever been to – and of course the atmosphere and energy that the Band created was a huge part of that. We are still receiving texts from guests who live in Knoxville, Houston, and Cleveland who are asking us for the group’s contact information and we are gladly obliging.

Lastly I will say this: I don’t normally do reviews for anybody. But in this case I am so happy to do it. Weddings are stressful. Lots of moving parts, lots of third-party vendors – especially those you never dealt with before nor trust automatically. In the case of the Band, it was different. Every step on the business side was easy.

E-mails were promptly returned, obligations and timelines were met and showed reliability, and the end product obviously was absolute insanity. We took a risk by selecting a band that is not from the Ohio/Pittsburgh area for our wedding and choosing the Band from Nashville. It was the best decision we made!

I will be happy to provide any additional information for anyone who wants it. Congratulations on your big day!

I am the father of the bride from the wedding this past weekend. I am not on social media, so I’d thought I would email you all and thank you for providing the most awesome entertainment that we could have ever wished for!

I had tons of compliments for the range of fun music you all played all night. It’s bands like them that make important events in our lives most memorable. Your tireless presence on the the stage kept the dance floor packed the entire evening.

Thank you again for all you did. Top notch entertainment to say the least!

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. Was hands down the BEST aspect of our wedding!!

Every single wedding guest I talked to complimented us on our band – people were saying that they went to the best concert of their lives that happened to have a wedding along with it.

The dance floor was incredible – our venue contact told the MOB that they have NEVER seen so many people on the dance floor for as long as we were dancing and jumping and screaming. This was 100% the best decision we made while wedding planning.

PLEASE BOOK THIS BAND NOW!!

Played at our wedding, and they made it an unforgettable party!

During the wedding reception, I couldn’t even count how many guests came up to us to tell us This band is amazing!! We got married months ago and our guests are still raving about them. Everyone loved their energy, and they had everyone out of the dance floor the entire night. They were very professional, flexible, and fun to work with.

And we loved that they learned 3 songs of our choosing. Picking the Band was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

There are seriously not enough words to describe how AMAZING it was to work with the Band for my wedding day!

Being an event planner from San Diego, who chose to have a destination wedding, meant I would be planning from 2,000+ miles away! Well, even with all the miles between us, they made us feel right at home and helped with every little detail!

The band for our wedding was a HUGE priority! We chose not have any other forms of entertainment and really wanted our band to be the focal point of the reception! Well, boy oh boy did we get what we asked for! I have been in the wedding industry for a little over 7 years and I had NEVER seen so many guests on the dance floor for as long as our guests were out there! AND to top it off I saw my first ever encore chant at a wedding! – That’s right, our wedding guests stayed until the very end and then still didn’t want to go home because the band was seriously, THAT good!

Honestly, no review can do the Band justice. My only advice is to listen to their amazing videos and take the leap and book them for your next event! Trust me, between the many talented performers, singers, musicians, and the undeniable southern hospitality, you won’t regret the decision!!

The band was just incredible!

I can tell you without reservation that there is not one thing we would have changed. The dinner music set was lovely, and everyone could easily talk to each other. Then the party got started, and from the very first song until the last one – the dance floor was absolutely packed!

We had so many people tell us that this was the best band they have ever heard, and we just have to agree. I am quite sure that the band will get more bookings based on everyone’s feedback. I’ve been to several weddings where there were not very many people at the send off, because the guests leave earlier in the evening. That did not happen at our wedding – our sendoff was packed because the band kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end!

We weren’t sure what the band would sound like, but I have to say, I don’t think that their video shows just how amazing this band is. The energy, the fun – it really just made our reception!

Made our wedding at Cheekwood a huge success!

We unfortunately had horrible weather that night but the band got everyone dancing and having a great time. We booked them about 14 months before our wedding and they were wonderful to work with the whole way…including finding us awesome string players and a dance teacher to help with our first dance.

Every member of the band gives it their all for the whole night and all of our guests were wowed by the outfit changes, variety of songs and energy of the band. I heard so much great feedback from our guests of all ages raving about them and it made me feel better knowing that the guests many of whom traveled a long way had a great night thanks to the band! We would book them again in a heartbeat…my husband said it was ‘the best money we spent on the wedding’.

Thank you!

This band MADE. MY. WEDDING.

I knew we’d booked a good band, based on the reviews and their incredible promo video, but I didn’t even comprehend just how good they actually are!! They were better than any CONCERT I’ve ever been to in my life, and word on the street is that our wedding will go down in history b/c of them.

I probably should have talked to my wedding guests more, but I spent the majority of my wedding reception on the dance floor, having literally the most fun I’ve ever had in my entire life. My knee was swollen the next day from dancing, and I lost my voice from singing, but it was totally worth it. I’m still in this weird state of depression that the night is over.

Best night of my life. Don’t even think about it, book this band!!

Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired The 12 South Band

Far exceeded my expectations!

Everyone including the venue staff remarked about how professional and polite every member was and how easy it was to work with them. They were punctual in setting up. Their actual performance was over-the-top!!!

They sang every genre and were extremely talented. The showmanship was fantastic with lighting changes and costumes and great choreographed dance. The dance floor was not big enough to accommodate everyone who was dancing to the sounds of the band.

The attendees would have stayed forever if the band had kept playing. I have had two people in the first 24 hours ask for the contact information on the band. Yes, they were that good. Absolutely outstanding and a total pleasure!

If we could do it all over, we would have left a lot more time for the band to perform.

Anna was great to work with, especially in her flexibility to meet with us while we were in town destination wedding. Was one of the best decisions we made for our reception. All of our guests were on the dance floor the whole time and loved the energy from the band members and the song selections they played.

We wish we could party with this crew every weekend!

Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired The 12 South Band

I truly can’t find the right words to describe how amazing the Band was the night of our wedding.

We had so many family members and friends asking us the next morning how we came across such a phenomenal band. From the time we hired them until the very end of our wedding reception, they were so great to work with.

They are a gifted group of musicians and performers as well!

Created an awesome energy at our 1st Christmas party!

It was a big event, about 500 guests and hosted by 3 companies, and the band performance made it a memorable night!

Julie


Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired The 12 South Band

The Band seriously made our wedding night!!

Picking a band was probably one of the biggest decisions throughout the wedding planning process because all we wanted was for our guests to have an absolute blast. And with all said and done, I couldn’t be happier that we found the Band!

Their energy had everyone on the dance floor as soon as they took the stage and it lasted throughout the entire night! The level of talent within the group is unbelievable… on top of providing just a great variety of music, they are true entertainers.

I was too busy dancing my butt off, but I wish I could’ve watched their every move! We have received endless compliments on how amazing and fun our reception was many have even said it’s the best they’ve been to and we owe it all to the band!

Additionally, Anna was so easy to work with and responsive during the whole booking process. AND they learned our 3 special dance songs for us, which turned out beautifully! All in all, this band is AMAZING! I honestly cannot say enough about them and how highly I recommend them for any event in need of great entertainment!

I can only hope I get the opportunity to see this band perform again someday. A million times Thank You!!!!

Was just amazing!!

Words can’t even describe how awesome their performance was during my wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Their energy was incredible and they even went out on the dance floor to sing to our 91 year old grandma! This band is what makes a good wedding a GREAT wedding.

Thanks again Anna and Jason, you guys are great, we wish we could re live that night every weekend!
