“8 south was hands down the most amazing band I have ever seen! Our wedding was absolutely amazing and unforgettable because of this band. Our guests would not stop coming up to us asking us how we ever found them. They were just unreal! Our wedding was absolutely amazing and unforgettable because of this band. Immediately after dinner, the tables were empty and the dance floor was full, and it stayed that way the entire night. We had never seen that happen at a wedding before. We are so thankful for this band. Besides being the most phenomenal band on the planet… they were also SO great to work with. Anna was so responsive and she was always super quick to email me back. If you don’t have 8 or 12 south at your wedding…don’t get married!”

“We had 12SouthBand (actually, the smaller ensemble, 8SouthBand) play our wedding in Louisville, KY back in August & it had to be the best decision we made in our wedding planning! They absolutely ROCKED! The band was easy to communicate with in the planning stages and was on top of every detail. They catered to our requests for music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception! They bring such high energy to their performance and got everyone, I mean, EVERYONE ON THE DANCE FLOOR! Having them play our wedding made the night unforgettable for us and our guests!”

“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 had the 8th South Band, which is a smaller part of the 12th South Band, perform at our wedding and I can honestly say they were the HIGHLIGHT of the night! They are a full on performance as they interact with the crowd, have props, costume changes, choreographed dances, and so much more! They were the EASIEST vendor to work with, and they even learned Rocky Top and helped me have a Tennessee/Go Vols moment during my big day. The singers were top notch, the musicians were incredible. I would hire this band again and again and again for any event that I would hold. I cannot thank them enough for making my big day so spectacular! Not to mention, a HUGE majority of my guests (both young and old) came up to me after the wedding and the days after saying they were the best band they had ever seen and a huge success at the wedding. LOVE these guys”

“Out of all the vendors I dealt with……THESE GUYS ARE THE BEST!! I loved working with their manager (who was also very helpful in developing a timeline for me). If you want a fun fun wedding reception, you MUST hire this band. Costume changes, sang tons of songs of all genres, FUN! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it non-stop. LOVE LOVE LOVE these people!!”

“This band is AMAZING! Our wedding was moved inside a barn due to the rain and they were completely flexible and willing to work with our day of coordinator. We were just “going with it” and they know how to do that. They’re the absolute best. Our bridal party and guests danced the night away. They played our first dance, father/daughter, mother/son with perfection. We had the 8-piece band versus the 12-piece because our venue was a little smaller. Will forever recommend this band!”

“You cannot beat this band… we used the 8 South Band for my daughter’s April wedding here in Memphis.. I had attended a cousin’s wedding in Nashville January 2016 and thought they were so good that they would be great for my daughter’s wedding.. they kept the crowd on their feet the entire reception and the crowd at the end was as big as at the beginning.. my daughter and her new husband had a blast.. you can not go wrong hiring them.. such fun! A day and night to remember!”

“We had the 8SouthBand for our wedding at Houston Station and we had about 180 people in attendance. They were excellent during the cocktail hour and played softer music while everyone was eating. As soon as everyone was able to get up and dance no one wanted to leave the dance floor! Everyone in the band was incredible, they sounded amazing and their energy was electric. They had multiple costume changes, kept everyone dancing and laughing and seriously made our wedding one of the most fun events we’ve ever been a part of. My husband and I had multiple people come up to us saying this was the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. We can’t recommend them more. If this band is available on your wedding date, don’t even wait, just book them! You’ll be SO happy you did. Anna was incredibly professional to work with from start to finish, answered all our questions promptly, and worked with our special requests without any issues. We’re so pleased with our wedding day and the 8SouthBand was a major contributor! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”

“The 8 South Band was absolutely amazing! People are still talking about them weeks after my wedding! They are energetic, exciting, and engaging! They made my reception perfect! I couldn’t stop dancing all night ! If they are booked already for the date you’d like, change your date. I’m serious! They are the best wedding band in Nashville. My husband and I are already thinking of another way we can use them in the future! Maybe a big birthday party!! smile Thank you Anna, Matthew, and the rest of the band for making our night so memorable!”

“They played my daughter’s wedding reception and it was over 3 hours of nonstop fun! They arrive hours ahead to set up and prepare and were so very professional! The lights and props really add to the energy of the show, our guest packed the dance floor, and those who didn’t dance were still able to enjoy the show. They were absolutely fantastic and all our guests comments were “Best Band Ever”! We have 2 other daughters and plan to schedule their weddings around this crews availability!”

“You were wonderful to work with, and our guests LOVED you! We’re looking forward to working with you again next year!”

“My husband and I were absolutely blown away! We opted for the eight piece option, and they exceeded all of our expectations. Leading up the wedding, they were very responsive and easy to work with. Anna even gave us dance lessons and choreographed our first dance! They set a lively, energetic tone for our reception, and guests were on the dance floor all night. Our guests raved that they felt like they were at a concert and could not stop talking about them! We are so happy and would recommend them over a DJ any day!”
Bride- June 2017
“Seriously, we were blown away by how good you guys were! Everyone was talking about the band the next day. Thank you so much!”
