LPE was FABULOUS at our end of April wedding! My guests still talk about how fun our wedding was because of the amazing live music. All three guys that performed were so KIND, FUN, and PROFESSIONAL! They played a variety of genres and even did a song or two in Spanish. We were so impressed. We requested a sweetheart dance for just my new husband and I, and LPE sang and played it perfectly - it was so special! These guys are super talented and I would recommend them for any event that you would want people to never forget!

Sunny Side 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000

Rob Montgomery has over 20 years of experience in the music industry. He studied music and engineering at Ohio State University. After school he worked as a Mechanical Engineer in the steel industry for 5 years. Living in New Orleans fueled his passion for music, and in April 2017 he left the steel industry to pursue music full time. His inspiration ranges from jazz, funk, soul, rock, blues, and much more. His diverse experience and fun loving character helps drive the focus of Sunny Side while still allowing time for several other music projects.

Booking Sunny Side was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!! We received so many compliments. I liked that they played more jazz and not traditional wedding music. We had so many people dancing. They also did our second line and were fabulous!

If you are looking for an unforgettable addition to your wedding or private event, look no further than Hot 8 Brass Band. I first heard them perform at a concert in New Orleans. When my then-fiance and I decided we were going to get married in New Orleans, they were my first choice as performers. We're not from New Orleans and neither were the majority of our guests. We knew that if we were going to introduce the idea of a second line, we had to get it right. Hot 8 delivered! Right after our cocktail hour, guests were offered champagne and invited to line-up. As we made our way down historic St. Charles Avenue, Hot 8 played a medley of Teddy Pendergrass, Tems, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Bill Withers and more. Folks went crazy. After we returned to the venue, they went into an hourlong set that kept the dancefloor full. Even I popped up a few times to dance underneath the stars, with our stars! We're a month out and our guests, who were a range of ages and races, still can't stop raving about this band. If you want to ensure your guests have an out-of-this-world experience that they won't soon forget, make sure you book the Hot 8 Brass Band.

Mikey offline 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,500

Mikey offline is a dj of the world but was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. As his hour-long mix shows, he has never been able to limit himself to one genre. This show includes some fun mixes, blends, music that he's been personally listening to lately, and of course representation of where he's from.

We were blown away by how good Mikey was, and I'd recommend him to anyone. A friend of a friend recommended Mikey, they said they wanted him but he wasn't available on their wedding day. So we looked him up on Soundcloud, reached out to hear about his process, and decided to book. I could not be happier with that decision. Mikey was easy to work with, reasonably priced, and most importantly, a killer DJ. He went out of the way to get our vibe, and on the day of the wedding, he kept the dance floor full for the whole reception. My cousins kept on telling me he was the best wedding DJ they'd ever seen, and even the photographer and wedding planner came up to me to ask "where did you find this guy!" Honestly, our wedding was perfect, and I give Mikey a ton of credit for making that happen.

Donald and Keiko were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. I wanted to gift my niece a live performance during her wedding. They played before the ceremony, during the ceremony, and for the cocktail hour. Guests raved about the performance. We started late due to extenuating circumstances. Keiko and Donald were patient and were willing to adjust without fuss or hesitation. I am looking for other opportunities to book them again. They are highly, highly recommended. You won't be disappointed—Professional, Talented, and Overall Kind People. Keiko answered my many questions. They arrived at the venue early and were prepared. They exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use them again.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

This was the second occasion for which I used A Better DJ & Photographer. as always, the staff was very communicative, professional and engaging from the pre-event introductions to the event day. Everything about this evening was intentional; from the menu to the music and Xavier and Aubry exceeded my expectations in capturing my vision.

Darryl did a phenomenal job DJing our wedding reception. For starters, he was extremely easy to work with and very communicative. In the lead up to the wedding, we sent him a playlist of songs that we wanted to play. He expertly and seamlessly wove our playlist with his own improvisation to curate a vibe that kept the party going all night. I had friends that always avoid the dance floor tell me they danced virtually the entire reception, which prompted me and many others to pull him aside and let him know what a killer job he was doing. I would highly recommend hiring D2 Entertainment for your event!

Vow and Vibe DJ was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the moment I first reached out, Jeremy was easy to get in touch with, and I could tell he was going to be a fun person to work with just through our text conversations. On the day of the wedding, Jeremy was efficient, talented, and truly wonderful - he took our chaotic 100 song playlist for song ideas and expertly mixed to make almost the entire crowd be on the dance floor the entire night. My husband and I especially were on the dance floor dancing and singing our hearts out and we had the best time thanks to Jeremy's work. Even to the extent that myself and my fellow Irish dancers did a reel at some point. I would highly recommend Vow and Vibe DJ to any couple looking for a DJ who will make their wedding day truly special.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!
