Katie, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was entirely our pleasure playing for you and you made it such a fun experience for me and the entire 17 SOUTH Band. Best wishes for the future!
The music for my wedding was my highest priority. My amazing wedding planner, Mike, got me in touch with Chuck from 17 South band and he immediately went to work getting me a set list, price quote and answered any questions I had. We had a love...
ly conversation the day before the wedding to iron out any last minute details and he kept me laughing the whole time. Such a nice guy! The day of the wedding, they were quick getting set up and were absolutely professional while also being relaxed, friendly to all the guests and putting on an amazing show. The sound guy was amazing, too. My only regret is not having someone record the whole thing so I can listen to this amazing band over and over. They were perfect and everything I dreamed of for entertainment on the big day!

Any questions?
17 South exceeded our expectations in every way. They were responsive leading up the the wedding, learned a new song for our first dance, and brought the energy all night.

Thank you Jay... we appreciate your taking the time to review the Band !
Amazing. Easy to work with. My neighbor had a wedding coming up and liked them so much that she booked them after hearing them at our wedding.
I saw 17 South at a fundraising gala and knew I had to have them at my wedding! They are great, and play a huge variety of music. They played jazz early in the evening, then packed the dance floor when the time was right!

Thanks so much Sandye!
I will start by saying, the guests enjoyed the band, and their music. It was at Francis Marion Colonial Room (amazing reception hall).
Brides beware - why such the low stars-
The manager came over to me during the 2nd break and asked for their...
check, my maid of honor was upstairs feeding her newborn. Manager told me they will not play again until they get paid (did not respect that a newborn needed to be fed). The band took over a 30 minute break (per contract was suppose to only be 15 minutes). My maid of honor found the manager and 2 other band members just hanging out in the lobby, and she paid them.
Come 11 PM end of reception, the manager, came over and put his hands on my (the bride's) shoulder and was yelling at me that he was never paid. I found my maid of honor (who was 100% sober) and she explained to him that she paid him, and he starts yelling at her. My maid of honor found the 2 band members he was with, and they both agreed that she gave him the check (and they found it in his suit jacket). The band members informed us that this always happens. I will say majority of the band took advantage of the open bar, and were overserved.
As a bride this was 1 of the worst ways to end a fabulous wedding night, band manager hands on my shoulders and yelling at my maid of honor, all because he was so drunk and did not remember. I would not recommend this band as contract was broken, they drank a lot of the alcohol, and put hands on a bride, and raised their voices.

We are very sorry the bride was not happy. The manager has hypogycemia (low blood sugar) that flares up once in a great while, which it did this evening. When this happens he can get light headed and forgetful until he eats a candy bar or som...
ething sweet (which he did not have). As a result, he forgot payment of the check and was a little irritated since the agreement called for earlier payment. However, he apologized to the bride numerous times and only touched her gently on the arm as a show of sympathy and was in no way physically aggressive. The band agreed to play 45 minutes more than the contract stated for no extra charge, so we feel nobody was taken advantage of by the band in regards to time played or the bar bill, which we dispute. The band did take one 20-mintute break instead of a 15, however the band only took two breaks the entire evening and played 4 hours + the additional 40 minutes mentioned. Again, we are very sorry about the manager's lapse of good judgement. 17 SOUTH has played over 400 wedding receptions and has never received a bad review until now. We trust this kind of thing will not happen again. The band regrets this incident and wishes this couple the very best.
17 South was the perfect band to perform at our wedding! They were fantastic and definitely got everyone dancing and having a good time - which was exactly what we wanted! They went to the trouble of learning a new song for the father & bride d...
ance which was so sweet. They could not be a nicer group of men and very talented. I was told by many guests during and weeks after the wedding that they loved the band. I am so happy we went with them! They were truly fantastic and made our reception such a special event!
The band was amazing! So fun, upbeat, easy to work with, and great quality music! The price may be a little on the higher side, but they are worth every penny and are wonderful musicians. If you want a fun party/reception - this band is the w...
ay to go!
17 South put on an awesome show for our wedding reception. Everyone was on the dance floor when they were playing. I was a little disappointed about their lack of attention to detail (took long to call me back, didn't follow reception timelin...
e exactly, took a longer break than they were supposed to) but overall, they were a great choice for our wedding
The band was very enjoyable to listen to and fun to dance along with. They were flexible and willing to learn a couple new songs as well as play off of cds/ipods for the special songs we wanted.;I think everything was great!
