Are you looking for a fun wedding reception, party or corporate event? Then look no further. The Charleston Wedding Band is comprised of 5 seasoned musicians based out of beautiful Charleston, S.C. with many years of experience playing in other bands of various styles. The band formed from the founding members of DTSMB, one of Charleston's most popular bands. They have now focused their talents in creating one of the best wedding band's on the East Coast with the youth and energy to keep your party going all night!
We couldn't have asked for a better experiences with the guys! From the get-go they were incredibly professional and always responded in a timely manner. We wanted to have both a DJ and a band, and they were super flexible about working with our "creative" schedule. Their pricing was reasonable and were easy to work with. They also looked very sharp on the day of the event.
As a bride I expected anyone I would potentially to work with to be true professionals, but what really set them apart was the reason why we hired them: the music. They have a great variety of covers that have just enough of a unique twist to make you a recognize that you're witnessing great musicianship. They kept the crowd dancing but also recognized when we needed to slow it down and give everyone a break. I've seen some wedding bands that are so into themselves that it ends up feeling like you're at a concert, which in my opinion should not be the case at a wedding, and these guys did not make the evening all about them. In fact, we had the crazy idea to surprise everyone and sing a song with the band; we were able to meet with the guys ahead of time to practice and our guests went wild (definitely one of the most memorable moments of the night)!
Long story short, I would hire them again in an instant and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an energetic, personable, professional, and talented group of musicians to give your wedding the soundtrack of your dreams!
Hands-down the best wedding band in Charleston. Unsurpassed professionalism from the pre-wedding coordination, to the logistics of announcing the wedding party, etc., to having everyone dancing within moments of the reception starting. They truly bring the party to the reception, and have everyone from grandmothers to grade school children dancing and singing the night away. They have played many of our friends' weddings after seeing them play at our wedding - and the story is the same - for most guests and bridal parties, the Charleston Wedding Band and the energy they bring is the most memorable part of the reception if not the entire day. I cannot recommend them highly enough - this band made our reception the best party in town.
Best band ever! Everyone had so much fun and people are still talking about how awesome they were!
The Charleston Wedding Band was truly the highlight of our wedding! Not only did their performance engage all of our guests and keep everyone dancing, the guys were incredibly responsive and willing to work with us leading up to our big day. Of all the components going into our wedding, The Charleston Wedding Band was by far the best investment. They were able to create the exact atmosphere we were hoping for. Over a year later, our guests are still talking about how great they are!
Best. Wedding. Band. EVER. Seriously, the guys did an amazing job, that I had everyone asking me for their information. They had everyone dancing, played all different types of music, and put on an amazing show. I first saw the band playing at a bar in Charleston with my at-the-time boyfriend. We both said, as soon as we were engaged we wanted them to play our wedding. 4 years later and 2 more members to the band, we were able to have them in Greenville, SC to play for our big day. There is not another band I would recommend more than this group of guys.
What's not to love about these guys?!? They absolute killed it at our wedding. Had our friends and family dancing for hours and got nothing but great feedback from all that attended. I'm never getting married again but if I did, Charleston Wedding Band would be a must have.
The Charleston Wedding Band was the best part of our wedding. A year later, we still have friends talking about how much fun they had and how awesome the band was. Even my little sisters (college hipsters that are tough to please) were impressed with how awesome/cool the band was.
Before the wedding they were extremely helpful and had a ton of advice on AV setup, first dance guidelines, lighting, etc. They know what makes a great wedding performance. We even felt comfortable enough not picking a set list. We let them feel out the crowd and play the songs they though would be best. That worked out really well.
A little disclaimer here, my wife and I love to have fun. We knew the traditional "6 piece wedding band" or the "motown classics" were not what we were looking for. We wanted a band that was updated, fresh, and brought good energy for the fun crowd we knew to expect at our wedding.
We had a winter wedding that was all indoors here in Charleston, SC. Our venue was downtown Charleston at No. 5 Faber. We were expecting around 200 guest with many of them being in the 20-40 range. The Charleston Wedding band was the perfect fit. The volume was perfect, set list was great, and the overall experience was an absolute blast!
These guys are awesome! They are laid back and easy to plan with and a total blast while they are playing. They kept me and my guests on the dance floor until the last second.
The band was great! Everybody raved about them ! Had so many guests ask where we found them. I would give them an 11 if I could. thank you!

This band was wonderful to work with and went above and beyond on our wedding day. We had a great time dancing the night away with these guys!
We knew from the beginning we wanted a band at our reception, but the hard part was finding one we liked and that was a reasonable price. My husband researched online for weeks and found the Charleston Wedding Band on GigMasters. We listened to their music and loved them so we decided to contact them. Within 2 days, we heard back from Cameron (the contact member in the band). Cameron was very helpful and willing to answer all of our questions (by phone and email). After talking with their references, we decided to go with the band. As most couples are, we were very spectacle about booking without meeting them. We were getting married in NC and they were from SC. Cameron made all of our worries go away with consistent contact to make sure we were okay. The month before the wedding, we created our playlists on Spotify with Cameron's help. Cameron was very helpful during this process. The day of the wedding, the band showed up early to set up and have a sound check. The band had set up at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Every single part of day went smoothly because of Charleston Wedding Band. The band was very social and got all of our guests up on the dance floor. They played a variety of music and were open to making our day special. Looking back on our wedding, the Charleston Wedding was one of the best parts of our wedding. To this day our guests still talk about the band :)
