Amazing Band!
The Sunny Side Jazz Band was absolutely fantastic! They played our ceremony and reception excellently. We had a lot of jazz fans in attendance and they were blown away by the performance and skill of the musicians. Everybody agreed that the band was amazing. The vocalist had a fun, upbeat vibe and got everybody dancing! They learned a new song for our first dance (they offer to learn three), and even sent us a recording of their rehearsal for us to practice to.
Response from vendor•May 25, 2025Thank you, Sarah, for this glowing review! We had a great time providing music for you and your family.The best NOLA band!
We can’t say enough about how incredible our wedding was—thanks in large part to Sunny Side Band! They provided music for our ceremony, Second Line parade, and reception, and absolutely exceeded our expectations at every turn. We loved their energy and vibe when researching bands and immediately hired them after watching their videos. Rob, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with—professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. Sunny Side even learned and performed our first dance song, which they had never played before, and it was perfect. Our guests raved about the lively New Orleans jazz music, feeling like they were at a private concert. One of the highlights of the night was the Second Line parade—watching our guests follow the band with huge smiles was pure magic. We’re already looking forward to the next event where we can bring these talented musicians back. Thank you, Sunny Side, for making our celebration unforgettable!
Response from vendor•May 25, 2025Joanna and David! We had such a great time playing for your wedding! This was one of the most memorable weddings we had the honor to partake in.Highlight of our wedding
Our wedding was designed to showcase and celebrate our neighborhood, the Lower Garden District. We held the ceremony at Coliseum Square Park in the LGD. Sunnyside provided a jazz quartet to play as guests arrived, during the ceremony, and after the toast. Then the brass band showed up for a second-line parade to Lula's Distillery on St Charles for the reception. Once at Lula's the entire band converged for dancing and fun. Looking back, the music was the highlight of our event.
Response from vendor•May 25, 2025Thank you Amanda! So Glad we could provide music for you and your family. We had a great time with the unique special request, playing a salsa number as well!One of the best parts of our wedding!!
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!
Response from vendor•May 25, 2025Thank you Erika! We were honored to be a part of your wedding celebration. I'm glad you enjoyed the music!
