12 South Band Reviews

Reviewed On 6/29/2020 by Meghan R

We had the 8 South Band, their slightly smaller band, perform at our wedding last summer. It made the whole event! The band was excellent at taking our music requests into account while also playing a broad enough range to keep everyone happy ...

and dancing all night! It was really important that people had a great time and the wedding didn't get boring or stale. The 8 South Band got everyone on their feet dancing, even my family members who would never dance normally. One of the highlights of our entire wedding was when they played their last song, "Don't Stop Believing" and we joined them onstage. The whole venue was singing and it was just such a fun moment. Definitely hire them if you want a fun dancing wedding!!

lutely, hands down, the BEST wedding band we (and all of our guests) have ever experienced. They were great to work with before the wedding and put on the MOST AMAZING show during. They asked us if it was ok to take a longer break before the dancing started, so they could play uninterrupted during our reception - they literally took no breaks!! They played only the best parts of each song, had 6-7 costume changes, and really got the room going. It was more like a dance concert than a wedding! Seriously, please look no further, this band is a must. You will not regret it. My husband and I are actively trying to find ways to throw another party just to have these guys play for us again!

omo video for every band in the city, my hubby had the genius idea to go farther afield and look for someone in Nashville. 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.

I was hesitant because they've got a pretty tight set list, but honestly, it was perfect and I'm so glad I went with my husband's gut and booked the 12 South Band.

stage because they truly have all 12 band members performing the entire 3-4 hours. Our wedding requests are still raving about our reception and the music. Having them perform their set song list (and not taking song requests) ended up truly being a blessing. They covered every genre and song choice one could want. Their mash-ups and combined songs really put them over the top. Every guest was out of their seat dancing. Their staff, Anna, is very easy to communicate and work with.

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 12 South Band justice. My only advice is to listen to their amazing videos and take the leap and book them for your next event!

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 12 South 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 12 South 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 12 South 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 12 South 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 12 South 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.

12 South Band was an incredible band for our daughter's wedding reception. Reading their reviews and watching their videos I knew they were good, but they definitely exceeded our expectations! The videos can't communicate the energy they exud...

e in their show! They are experts in drawing in the crowd - I saw several guests on the dance floor that I Never would have guessed would have danced! They perform a medley style, with flawless transitions, incorporating multiple genres (i.e. Robin Thicke to Garth Brooks to Prince). I have never seen a band keep the dance floor packed for every song all night long, but that's exactly what they did for Natalie and Aaron and our guests. They did a great job introducing the wedding party and bride and groom, and ended their show with the bride and groom on stage singing Sweet Caroline, with the crowd singing along, waving their hands and sending off the newlyweds in style. They also added to their show the requested songs for the First Dance, the Father Daughter and Mother Groom dances. Natalie and I picked out Paul Simon's "Father Daughter" for our dance, and they performed it perfectly - they nailed it!! They have several options for the number of performers - we chose the 10 person option with 1 horn. Finally, I would add that our wedding coordinator commented on how easy they were to work with. I give them my highest recommendation!

We found 12 South Band online and fell in love immediately. They were SO great to work with, making the planning process very easy. And they were incredibly talented and fun! We could not have asked for a better band to perform at our wedding. ...

All of our guests stayed until the very end, shouting "one more song". It was perfect!!!
