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.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

From our first meeting, Darryl was a dream to work with! We opted for a more hands-off approach to music and leaned heavily on Darry's recommendations for reception music after the first dance. Darryl's selections keep our guests on the dance floor, which was certainly a challenge for a Sunday afternoon 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.
