    The Best - Guests Are Still Talking About Them!

    My number one must-have for our wedding was a live band—specifically one with a horn section. After doing a lot of research, I am so happy we chose 17 South Band! After the wedding, the compliment I heard more than any other was, “That was the most amazing band!” They played an incredible mix of songs from across the decades, with something for everyone, and kept guests of all ages out on the dance floor. They brought so much energy to the reception and turned the entire night into one big, fun party. I would highly recommend 17 South Band to anyone looking for a talented, groovy, well-rounded band that will bring the energy, set the perfect vibe, and create a reception your guests will always remember!

A: Our fee covers the full 8-piece band with 3 horns in addition to all sound and lighting operated by a professional technician. Travel and lodging expenses, if needed, are also normally included.
A: The standard format is up to 5 hours including breaks. Breaks vary for type of engagement; wedding receptions are usually two 15-minute breaks with longer playing sets. Other types of engagements with all party music may be 45 minutes on, 15 minutes off or a two hour concert would have no breaks.
A: Yes, we can. If we perform the cocktail hour on the same stage as the reception and it does not exceed our time period booked for, there is no additional charge. There would be a small additional fee for extra playing time or moving to another location. We can quote you a very reasonable fee for ceremony music based on the number of musicians.
A: We require a minimum of two dedicated 20-amp power circuits. In general, power needs to be within 50 ft. of the band, 100 ft. maximum. A generator or power booster may be needed for outdoor engagements.
A: We prefer a minimum 12 ft. deep by 24 ft. wide stage, 12 x 20 ft. is our minimum. However, a stage is not mandatory for indoor engagements but highly recommended. Outdoor performances require a covered stage shielded from rain or inclement weather.
A: Yes, we will learn a special song for your reception if it's not on our song list and will have it professionally arranged.
A: Of course!...it would be our pleasure to handle any and all announcements.
A: We also play great music during our breaks or, if you prefer, just give our sound man your Smartphone & he’ll play all all your downloaded requests.
