  The best!!

  Music is so essential to an event's atmosphere, and we truly couldn't have had a more wonderful experience with Cooper River Band at our wedding reception. They were one of the most helpful and kind of our vendors from the beginning, reaching out to our reception coordinator for stage dimensions to provide a custom ensemble to fit the vibe of our wedding. We received so many compliments on the music choices, and we were blown away with the talent. If you are looking for great communication, customizable set lists, and knock out musicians, Cooper River Band is the best choice in the Charleston area.

  So Much Fun!

  The Cooper River Band was amazing to work with. Easy booking process, open to new songs to learn before the event and really got the crowd going! We would hire them again in an instant!

  Excellent!

  My husband and I are so happy we decided to go with Cooper River Band for our wedding. They not only sounded amazing but were super nice and accommodating the entire night, and all of our guests loved them!

  Fun and Fabulous!

  The Cooper River Band played for our son’s wedding and they were absolutely AMAZING! Starting with my initial contact with David and throughout the process, he was always responsive, kind, and easy to work with. The musicians and singers are fantastic! They have an extensive play list with a broad range of songs. David even correctly pronounced every single name when he announced the bridal party!!! They made the reception a night we will never forget and guests were dancing to every single song! I would highly recommend them over and over again!!!

  Best Wedding Band Ever!

  Wow!!!!! There are not enough words to put into a review about this band! The Cooper River Band is professional, experienced and knows how to get a crowd dancing and singing! They performed at our wedding and we had so many compliments how great they were. David was easy to work with from the song selection to the reception setup. He is very detailed oriented and truly wants his clients to have a blast! They are versatile and can sing Bruno Mars to Garth Brooks to David Bowie. They even learned the song “Red Red Wine” and performed it in memory of my dad. It was a very sweet moment that my family and I will never forget. Thank you for the memorable moments and dancing!!!!

  Everyone will be dancing

  Permanent Vacation was the best reception band I could have asked for. Having never heard them before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was definitely NOT disappointed. We had so many people dancing who normally wouldn’t dance. So many compliments on the band after the fact. They remained flexible and were receptive to the last minute changes. Above all, they allowed all of the little nieces and nephews to sing and dance with them on stage.

  Permanent Vacation was the perfect choice for our wedding! My husband (then fiance) and I had been to a wedding that they performed at and had such a great time. Because of this, they were the first thing I booked when we started planning our own wedding. The music was phenomenal and they learned one of our favorite songs for our first dance! Michael is extremely responsive and accommodating! All of our guests raved about the fantastic music. I highly recommend Permanent Vacation for anyone looking for a great band!

  Permanent Vacation was the perfect band for our wedding! After communicating with Michael several times we booked them and never looked back! They were accommodating and learned a not so well known song for our first dance. They played it perfectly. We had so much fun dancing to all of their music. They followed my list of songs I requested and played them in the perfect order. Overall, great value, great professionalism and we'd recommend them in a heartbeat! Thanks guys!

  Permanent Vacation is absolutely amazing! We hired their four piece band, Acoustic Vacation, for our wedding and I can not say enough about how great they were. Michael was so nice, flexible and responsive prior to the wedding. The variety of music they played was perfect and they were so much fun! All of our guests can't stop talking about how great they were.

  Permanent Vacation is truly the best wedding band I've ever heard. They had most of our guests on the dance floor and I've received so many compliments on their behalf. They were flexible and went above and beyond to make our reception exactly what I dreamed it would be.

  Permanent Vacation was incredible to work with from the moment that we booked them. They are very responsive, professional, and organized. At the wedding they had EVERYONE on the dance floor. They are by far the best wedding band I have ever heard and I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in the Charleston area (or beyond)! We received so many compliments about the band and we can't wait to go hear them again soon!

  Dan and I are SO GLAD we hired Permanent Vacation to play for us! They had all our guests dancing and laughing--we couldn't have asked for a better party, and they were very affordable! My husband and I were so excited to find a band that played lots of songs each of us liked. Michael was quick to respond to every email I sent, and helped me come up with a great timeline for the evening. Everyone in the band is super nice, fun, and loves what they do, so they were great to work with, and made the reception a memorable party for us and for all of our guests!

  Permanent Vacation was an absolute pleasure to work with! As a wedding vendor, I work with lots of bands and DJs and I can 100% say that these guys are one of the best! They were so kind, very punctual, and made the event such a special night for the bride and groom. I can not say enough positive things about Michael and his whole team. If you're looking for a wedding band, these are your guys!

  Permanent Vacation was absolutely the best band for my wedding! Michael, the band manager, was so professional and took care of everything. My guests and I loved them so much that we wanted an encore, which the band gave us! They have music for every age and can rock the night away! They are the best Charleston wedding band by far!

  Permanent Vacation played our wedding in October 2016 and did a fantastic job! During the booking and planning stages, PV was responsive and flexible, giving us all of the answers we needed and working with us as we figured out what we wanted for the day of. Their performance during the reception was energetic and fun, playing a wonderful variety of songs. We got compliments from guests young and old on how good the band was! We would not think twice about booking them again for any type of event! Thank you PV for helping to make our wedding so much fun and memorable!!!

  These guys are very interactive with the audience and work hard to get everyone engaged. Take advantage of the song list and do not be afraid to send them songs off of their list...they played several that we sent their way.

  Michael and Permanent Vacation are perfect. Really, there is no other word to describe them! From the time we emailed and met, Michael has been professional, kind, communicative, and helpful! Going through the process of planning a big wedding in Charleston can be scary and overwhelming with all the details but, with Permanent Vacation as your band, music and entertainment will not be a cause of stress!
  After carefully planning every detail of the evening, Michael and the band ROCKED! They played every requested song in a way that our guests couldn't leave the dance floor! We danced all night and every single song! Cannot say enough great things about this band- really truly the best! Highly recommend to any bride!!

  After carefully planning every detail of the evening, Michael and the band ROCKED! They played every requested song in a way that our guests couldn't leave the dance floor! We danced all night and every single song! Cannot say enough great things about this band- really truly the best! Highly recommend to any bride!!
