“I cannot say enough great things about Downbeat Louisiana! My husband and I knew Chris before our wedding (best man's wedding & local events), so we already KNEW that they would be an incredible choice for our wedding. Even with those high expectations, they still managed to exceed them in every way.
Throughout the entire planning process, Chris was very responsive, professional, and easy to work with. He made us feel like our wedding was important to them and were always willing to answer questions and help bring our vision to life. One of my favorite personal touches was when I told Chris that I had been a longtime BELIEBER and that despite not having any Justin Bieber on the band's setlist, I would simply DIE if they were able to sing one of his songs at the wedding. I never reached back out to confirm whether they could or not... and what do you know, mid-reception Chris pulls it out as a surprise -- the band has practiced and learned 'Baby' by Justin Bieber. The crowd could not contain themselves - it was a total hit and truly nostalgic.
Downbeat Louisiana absolutely stole the show. They have an incredible ability to read the crowd and keep the energy exactly where it needs to be. Song after song, they had our guests packed onto the dance floor all night long (see pic for proof). The dance floor was never empty, and the atmosphere they created was electric.
They were so good that when the night was supposed to end and we were supposed to make our exit, the entire crowd started begging for an encore! That's the kind of performance they deliver. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was, and honestly, they were one of the highlights of the entire wedding.
In fact, they made such an impression that my workplace is now trying to book them for our Christmas party. If you're considering Downbeat Louisiana for your wedding or event, stop looking and book them—you will not be disappointed!”
