Hire This Band!

Are you looking to hire the undisputed heavyweight champion of wedding bands for your big day? Do you want your wedding guests to talk about how amazing your band was for years to come? Are you interested in having the best time of your life?

If you are - then look no further. Restless Carolina is the choice. They will bring the house down. Grandmothers will be dancing. Uncles will be busting moves your aunts haven't seen since 1982. You and your spouse will float across the dance floor in a blissful haze. It will be glorious - this I can assure you. Because this band is the absolute best.

I will be the first to admit - we were not an easy client for this group (me mostly). I had some over-the-top demands and requests. These guys worked with us every step of the way, met and exceeded all of our expectations, and put on an amazing show. Almost four hours straight, banger after banger, with virtually no breaks. We had such a blast. And got so many compliments from our guests. We are so thankful that we hired them, and we would do so again in a heartbeat.

Incredible vocalists. Super talented musicians. And a pleasure to work with. It doesn't get much better than that. Hire this band! They will make your party, and you will not regret it.

Book Them ASAP!

We found Restless Carolina through Instagram after what felt like months of looking...and we immediately knew we had to book them. We are SO glad we did. They were incredible! They are all very talented, their song lists are very diverse and modern (hello, Olivia Rodrigo and Beyonce!), and they were very kind and easy to work with. All night and weeks after, people kept telling us how they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. They kept the party going and I'm just so glad we found them because they really made our night special.

They brought the party!

Hiring Restless Carolina was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding celebration! They sounded amazing, brought so much fun and energy to the reception, and were absolute professionals. Our guests still talk about how much they loved the band! We’re actually planning to hire them again for our company’s annual party—they’re that good.

Best wedding band ever

When I say they are the best wending band ever I'm not exaggerating. They went above and beyond to help us in every aspect of our wedding ceremony and reception. Everyone who we spoke to about the wedding told us how much fun they had and not a single person didn't mention the band as being amazing. Wish we could do it all over again and hire them again!

The best wedding band!!

This band knows what they are doing!!! They are so beyond talented, Brian and Jessie have the most amazing voices and sing just about anything and the vast array of musical instruments the members play makes it all come together so perfectly. Having seen them play at other events it was a very easy choice as to who we wanted to play at our wedding and we couldn't have enjoyed it more :)

Unreal & A Total Dream

The best wedding band I could’ve asked for! I had so many people coming up to me during the wedding and texting me after the wedding talking about just how incredible Restless Carolina was. Not only were they amazing during the actual wedding day, but they were so incredibly responsive and helpful during the planning process that it took so much stress off of my plate. I really cannot adequately put into words just how phenomenal they were, and I am so so happy to have had them play at my wedding.

Best. Band. Ever.

We were lucky enough to have Restless Carolina play for our wedding. That was 6 years ago, and people still tell me how amazing the band was. You will not hear a more talented voice than Jessie’s and the entire band has so much energy. Will refer them again and again!!

Awesome Wedding Band!!

I was absolutely blown away by Restless Carolina!! Due to Covid, we were unable to see RC live before hiring them as our wedding band and relied solely on recommendations and wow, they did not disappoint! That’s all anyone talks about when they talk about our wedding- seriously! Every age group was on the dance floor the entire night. Best decision I’ve made, I would 10000% recommend them to any couple!

Best Part of our Wedding!!

Restless Carolina is INCREDIBLE!!!! Look no further, book them ASAP. The band truly made our reception. We let them run with the set list and choose whatever they wanted to play. They kept the dance floor going all night long. They were sooooo good and our guests loved them! I've heard more compliments about this band than any other part of our wedding. Best decision that we made by far was booking this band. You won't regret it!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
