Best Wedding Band!!!

If you absolutely want to have a rockin' party where everyone is on the dance floor, look no further than the 12 South Band!! There is a reason they are the most popular wedding & event band in Nashville. Not only are they amazing, they are amazing to work with. They are excellent with communication leading up to and on the event day and always, always always knock it out of the park!!

10 out of 10!

If you want everyone to be up and dancing and have a great time at your wedding, you need this band! We had them at our wedding on September 28th and they were amazing! Anytime we run into someone who was at our wedding, they all have commented on how great our band was! Great singers, great dancers, and terrific song selections that kept the atmosphere fun and alive all night long! My husband and I could not have been happier with our decision to hire them! They did an incredible job and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

The best decision I've ever made

No other band can make a wedding as fun as 12 South Band can! They are INCREDIBLE! Our guests never stopped dancing and were blown away that the band didn't take a single break. They kept playing hit after hit with amazing choreography. They came out and interacted with guests and had us on stage to dance too. Everyone couldn't stop talking about how awesome they were. If you want a really, really fun wedding band, get 12 South!

Best Wedding band EVER!


12 south is the best wedding band ever! They were recommended to me by a co – worker who said they made her wedding, and I thought maybe she was just being nice or exaggerating, She wasn’t! They made my wedding too! We actually had 6 south, the 6 piece band, but you would never have been able to tell it wasn’t the whole band. They had EVERYONE up on their feet dancing the entire wedding from my 9 year old cousin to grandparents and parents. They made it a blast! Our guests were raving about them and still are! If you want a band that will make your wedding, BOOK 12 South band!

If they aren't available, change your date!

Here's the thing: This band MADE our wedding. At least 90% of our 200+ wedding guests were on the dance floor almost the entire time. All anyone could talk about how was incredible the band was -- and our entire wedding was objectively awesome. Their version of the horah was the best I've ever seen. They were fun, energetic, talented, responsive, and more than happy to learn the songs we requested. They even learned the Game of Thrones theme song for our cake cutting! Just...hire them, okay? You won't regret it!

Best wedding band ever

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 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.

Outstanding

The 12 South Band went above and beyond to make our wedding memorable. They played the perfect mixture of oldies and new day music to keep everyone happy and dancing all night. We still have guests talking about how awesome the band was! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a wedding where you dance the night away!

Greatest Band Ever

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 12 SOUTH BAND. 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.

Wow! What a band

We recently had this amazing band at our Wedding in August, they were a huge hit! We had people from all over the state come to Kentucky for the wedding and everyone was just taken away by how awesome 8 South was. The dance floor was packed until the end of the night. This is one thing you must have if your wanting a amazing wedding! We haven’t got our video or photos back but posted are some from our wedding planner.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
