Our friends and family are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding - and a big reason for that is Julio and The Saltines! These guys are the best.
My now husband ...
and I didn't love any of the "traditional" wedding bands our planner had sent us to check out so we asked our reception venue, Local on the Water, for recommendations of local bands. From the minute we checked these guys out, we knew we had to have them for our reception.
Matt (who handles their booking) is great to work with! He worked with us to settle on our first dance, father/daughter, and mother/son songs and other than a few requests - we let the band take it from there.
Matt did our cocktail hour music - lots of great 90s jams on acoustic guitar. The full band played our reception - they played for 3 hours and had everyone on the dance floor. Julio and The Saltines have a great set list and Julio is great at working the crowd.
I HIGHLY recommend having Julio & The Saltines at your wedding. We're definitely hoping to have them play for us again one day!

When we were planning our wedding there was one thing we had as a top priority...a live band. We were extremely picky about who was going to make sure our wedding was high energy b...
ut heart felt. Julio and The Saltines blew every single one of our expectations out of the water! There was never a moment where people were not dancing! We gave them a difficult venue to perform at (all outdoors, limited power, and multiple music setup locations) and they handled it like true professionals. They provided us with microphones for our ceremony, lights for the dance floor, and music that made our reception out of this world! OH! THE BEST PART! They let me close out our event by letting me sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" which was the most talked about memory from the wedding.
Go see these guys once and you will understand why they are the biggest party in the entire state of South Carolina!
Thank you Julio and the Saltines for making our wedding unforgettable!

I had lost my wedding band a few weeks before my wedding and after frantic searching found Julio and the Saltines. They were fantastic to work with, very straight forward, easy to ...
contact, everything pre-wedding was so smooth. It was so nice to not have to worry about this vendor when I had a million things on my mind.
This band absolutely blew our mind at the reception. With very little instruction they ran the reception beautifully with introductions and announcements and first dances. Then their music was out of this world. The sound was fabulous, they were SO talented. The lead singer Julio has an incredibly large range and did so many different types of songs perfectly. We had a blast, everyone was dancing from the first song. They even allowed my husband to join them for his favorite karaoke song and winged it with no problem. On top of all of that, they were so nice. Really wonderful people. Please please please book this band, you won't regret it.
