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!

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.

We provide a very personalized and individualized approach to the music for your wedding or event. Promptness, reliability, performance quality, interactions with the audience and overall impressions make our ensembles and soloists the most talented and most professional in the New Orleans area.

We hired New Orleans Classical & Jazz for our wedding and they were fantastic. Harry was very prompt in responding to our emails and addressing any questions or concerns we had. We had a trio: violin, cello, and keyboard. The musicians were so talented and played beautifully. The ceremony music was very important to me, and the songs we wanted were not the usual traditional ones. Harry had no issue with our requests, and the trio played each song beautifully. The trio also played fun, upbeat pop hits during our cocktail hour, which got everyone in a celebratory mood. We couldn't have been happier with their performance and professionalism.

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. We would not only recommend D2 Entertainment, but would also encourage those in the area to book them!

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.
