Kept the party going all night long!

It was a pleasure working with The Charleston Wedding Band as our wedding dj's! They made it super easy for me and were extremely responsive to my requests. Set up was a breeze, and they played great tunes off the custom playlists I provided, and took an audience request for a traditional Italian folk song! Great experience all around. Dan was a trooper! The lights and fog machine were an added bonus. Thanks for keeping the party going strong!

The Charleston Wedding Band is truly a must have if you want to have an amazing reception. The band is SO very talented. They are professional, easy going, and get everyone on the dance floor. They are flexible and have different packages available in order to make your day work for you. If music is important to you on your big day I highly recommend The Charleston Wedding Band!

My husband and I are huge music lovers, so having live music at our wedding was very important to us. We are so happy that we hired The Charleston Wedding Band for our wedding and can't even begin to explain how great they are. From the beginning, Cameron was so responsive and helpful. He made sure that we had everything the way we wanted and that we loved the song selection. Because we were planning a destination wedding for ourselves and our guests, we never actually got to hear The Charleston Wedding Band play before our wedding. We knew from the videos on their website and their reviews that we could trust them to be good. But we were completely blown away once they started playing. They are so talented and have amazing energy. They played as an acoustic duo during our cocktail hour, DJ'd our dinner, and then played as a full band after dinner for dancing. Our guests had so much fun, and everyone was on the dance floor all night. They were definitely the highlight of our wedding! Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had at our wedding and how amazing the band was. Everyone was sad when they were finished playing, but they came back and played an encore song, which was just the best. Don't even give it a second thought, just book The Charleston Wedding Band. Trust me, you and your guests will be so happy that you did!

These guys are so talented and so easy to work with! Cameron (drummer/band leader) was quick to respond to all of my emails leading up to the wedding day, made sure all of the songs I requested were played, and even took a request or two from my guests at the reception. I got so many compliments from everyone about our music choice! It's been over a week since the wedding day and my friends and family are still talking about how much fun they had because of this band. I would definitely recommend these guys if you want your guests to dance!

Don't even think - just book these guys and book them now! We had seen them play over the years at different spots around town and were big fans. They were the first vendor we booked following our venue because we wanted our reception to be a dance party and boy did they deliver! Full disclosure: I started inquiring about their availability when I first had a suspicion we would be getting engaged :)

They play everything from The Killers (my favorite band of all time) to wedding classics like Shout and will customize your playlist to whatever you like. Every band member is outrageously talented and every song is amazing. And the value you get for the quality is unreal! We have heard non-stop raves about what an amazing reception we had due in no small part to this fabulous band - as soon as they came on, the dance party started and didn't stop until the final song.

Cam and Dan were both really attentive to all of my requests and could not have been easier to work with. I really cannot say enough awesome things about our The Charleston Wedding Band - they made our wedding reception completely unforgettable!

We are from out of town, so planning a wedding in SC meant booking a lot of vendors sight unseen. The band was one of the most important parts of the wedding for us. After researching virtually every band in area, we knew we wanted The Charleston Wedding Band the second we saw their videos. They're not your typical stuffy wedding band. They play tons of contemporary songs, but also some classics. Everyone was dancing the entire night, including our 84-year-old grandparents. All of our guests were raving about the band the next day. Cam, was so easy to work with leading up to the event. They did an awesome acoustic set during our cocktail hour and then we built a playlist together for breaks and intros. I can't recommend The Charleston Wedding band enough. If you're even considering them, just go ahead and book them!

Cameron and the rest of the band was a dream to work with! Very easy going and flexible. They even included a saxophone player for us (not typically a member of their band) since that was a huge determining factor between booking The Charleston Wedding Band and another band for us. EVERYONE at our reception loved the music selection and overall vibe the band created for the evening. You can't go wrong with these guys!

If you want to have a band and have fun get these guys. I've gone to see them play just because they are that good. If you want to pay a little less and have a dj don't do that.

Music for our wedding reception was in our top 3 of most important decisions to make. My husband was very adamant that we have a live band, but not just any band, a band that would really get our guests excited and out on the dance floor with us.

When we embarked on our search for the perfect wedding band, we were very overwhelmed with the options and we were also disappointed to find that most bands had the same, typical wedding music playlist, which wasn’t what we were looking for. We had heard The Charleston Wedding Band play in the Charleston area for many years and have always had a blast hearing them play so it was a no-brainer that after looking at what our options were, we really only ever had one option – The Charleston Wedding Band!!

Cameron and Jackson were both very engaged when working through the plans for the day of. They were extremely accommodating to our wedding reception schedule, music song requests, and all the other coordination needs we had. The entire band was extremely friendly and social with our guests, making them feel welcomed. It was as if the band was an extension of our wedding party! Most importantly, they got our guests up on their feet and out on the dance floor!! Everyone, from family to friends, had a BLAST partying it up during our reception!

The Charleston Wedding Band went above and beyond our expectations! The only thing we would have changed is to have planned more time for them to play! Of all the decisions we had to make during the wedding planning process, the decision to have The Charleston Wedding Band play at our reception was one we would have regretted NOT making. Thank you Charleston Wedding Band for helping us to create memories we’ll remember for a lifetime!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
