"Michael and I wanted to send our sincerest gratitude to you and all of the members of 17 South! We could NOT have chosen a better band to play at our wedding. You guys out performed any band we've seen. Your performance went beyond our highest expectations and hopes. We felt you were able to set the tone for the evening! There was a sense of professionalism and class. We are truly blessed that you were there for us on our special night. Also, I feel the need to tell you how special your rendition of 'America' was to us (and all in attendance). We will always hold that moment and memory with us. Thank you kindly for everything!"

-Michael and LIndsey, June 1st, 2012

"17 South rocked our wedding reception! We really enjoyed their high energy and great sound. They kept our guests dancing all night long and were loads of fun.”

- Stephen & Jaime Fernandez/Bride and Groom

“Our daughter said it was ‘perfect!’ The reception had a ‘magical’ feel and I think that the brass sound 17 South brought was a key part of creating that! Thanks so much!!

- Betti Kirkman/Mother of Bride

“Robert and I wanted to thank you very much for playing at our wedding! You went above and beyond our expectations. You helped make our wedding night everything we dreamed.”

-Anna Rhett & Robert Miller/The Mills House

“I so appreciate you learning Corey Smith's ‘First Dance’ for us, it sounded so much better than I could have hoped for! Thanks, again!”

-Cameron Rickenbaker Hipp/South Carolina Aquarium

“On behalf of the entire Alpha Nu Chapter of Delta Delta Delta, I would like to thank you for playing at our Senior Oyster Roast. I have never received so much positive feedback about a band hired for a function before!

- Parke Shields/Bowen's Island Party

“Wow! Your charisma, talent, and ability to gauge your music to the pulse of the guests is the mark of true professionals. Your rendition of ‘Can't Take My Eyes Off of Yo’ was perfect for the Bridal Dance.”
