The wedding band people remember
Two thousand weddings in twenty-five years. Ceremony strings to second-line sendoff, handled by one band, on one timeline, with one contract.
Don’t settle for anything but the best.
Most couples book a ceremony musician, a cocktail trio, a reception band and a DJ — four vendors, four contracts, four sets of load-in questions. After Party is all of it. High-energy, non-stop, always-current, with lights and sound that make the room look as good as it sounds.
Ceremony
Solo piano, string duo or full chamber strings. Processional, recessional and prelude chosen with you.
Cocktail hour
Jazz trio playing standards and classic pop while your guests find the bar.
Reception
The full band. Seven to twelve pieces, horns up, floor full, bandleader emceeing every cue.
Second line & sendoff
Full-band second line with permits, escorts, umbrellas and handkerchiefs handled end to end.
The second line is not an add-on. It’s a production.
Permits. Police escorts. Route timing with your venue. Umbrellas and handkerchiefs for the whole party. Grand marshal. A brass section that knows the repertoire cold because they grew up playing it.
We have run hundreds of these through the Quarter, the Garden District and the Marigny. You walk out the door and it works.

“The best part of our wedding day”
