Reviews of Wedding Bands available in Charleston

5/5 from 3,507 reviews
Photo of The Cooper River Band The Cooper River Band "David and the band are so awesome! They were our wedding band and did a spectacular job! From the beginning David was so easy to communicate with and made it completely stress free. He listened to our requests and was beyond professional. Their range is beyond and had something every guest could enjoy. The band was our favorite part of the wedding and our friends and family were so impressed!" Based in Charleston, South Carolina Maggie - Private Wedding Photo of Andrew Thielen Big Band Andrew Thielen Big Band "WE were so glad we found Andrew Thielen Big Band. They are a real band that has been together for over twenty years perfecting their music, showmanship and dazzling variety of music that kept our dance floor jammed. WE almost got swayed into one of these chain bands called Empire something where they throw together bands for one night until we figured out you cannot be a 3 piece band one week and a 12 piece band the next. WE wanted a real band where the band leader has had repeat performances for the most discriminating buyers for years. Every age, everyones taste in music and our twenty something wedding party had the time of our life. Call them now for sensational singers, instrumentalists and organization." Based in Charleston, South Carolina Aaron Hines - wedding reception Photo of Willie Jackson & the Tybee Blues Band Willie Jackson & the Tybee Blues Band "I hired Willie Jackson and the Tybee Blues Band for my outdoor birthday party. I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this band! They were so professional and they can seriously entertain the audience. Mr. Jackson has some amazing vocals and I love his original songs. I would most definitely hire this band again!" Based in Savannah, Georgia (83 miles from Charleston) Collette Davis - Birthday party Photo of Dennis Winge Ensemble Dennis Winge Ensemble "We hired Dennis and his band, The Way, for our party and they did not disappoint!!

I will most definitely hire them again. They are very well dressed and professional and delivered the show with my guests being very involved and dancing the night away. This band is definitely a must see." Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (87 miles from Charleston) Mary L - Private Party Photo of Timmy Lee and The Super Cool Dude Club Timmy Lee and The Super Cool Dude Club "Timmy Lee and his band are just incredible!!! They have played my annual party for three years now, and for sure be back again next year! Tim is a great guy and very accommodating to needs required to play shows. Did I mention he needs to be on the radio so everyone can enjoy his music!" Based in Rock Hill, South Carolina (161 miles from Charleston) Andy Robbins - Private House party

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring wedding bands is $1,100, with prices from $240 to $3,500+. The main pricing factor is the number of musicians in the band, as wedding bands range from compact three-piece acts to large ensembles with brass sections and backing vocalists. Performance duration, whether the band provides music for multiple parts of the day and any extras such as DJ sets or lighting also affect cost.

Most wedding bands perform for two to three hours of evening entertainment, usually split into sets with short breaks. The first set often begins after the meal and speeches, starting with the first dance. Longer or shorter performance times can usually be arranged, and many bands also offer background music or DJ services for earlier parts of the day.

Many wedding bands are happy to learn a specific song, such as a first dance or a song with personal significance. For the best experience, discuss this with the band as early as possible, as some songs may require additional rehearsal time. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

The wedding bands listed on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger line-ups with brass sections, backing singers and additional musicians. Smaller bands suit intimate venues and lower budgets, while larger ensembles create a bigger sound for grand receptions. Many bands offer flexible line-up options to suit different event sizes and budgets.

Most wedding bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, microphones and any necessary amplification for standard event venues. For larger spaces or events with over 300 guests, additional sound reinforcement may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm equipment details with the band before booking, especially if the venue has specific noise restrictions or technical requirements.

Most wedding bands cover a wide range of genres, from pop and rock to soul, Motown, indie and current chart hits. Some also offer jazz, swing or acoustic sets for cocktail hours and dinner. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to check repertoire, and many bands will tailor their setlist to suit the style of your event.
