Thank you, NOLA Dukes Band. From the very first note of cocktail hour to the last song of the night, you set the tone for our entire wedding in a way we will never forget. The music, the energy, the flow it was all perfection. You handled everything seamlessly: ceremony music, our officiant’s mic, the uplighting throughout the venue (which meant so much to us), and the overall pacing of the night. Every transition felt intentional and effortless, and our guests felt it. Randi — you are truly something special. From our very first conversation, you were thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely invested in getting to know us as a couple. Your guidance on music flow and how to get people on the dance floor was spot-on, and your voice… unreal. We are still getting messages from guests telling us how incredible the music was. Ending the night with a DJ in the carriage house was the perfect twist and such a fun way to close out the celebration. We couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Thank you for bringing the magic, the soul, and the party. We’re forever grateful. Much love, Rachel & Jake Dobry

Awarded Best of Zola
What an absolutely fantastic band! We booked them based off of other reviews since we live out of state. We have zero regrets! We had our wedding in the French Quarter and they played our second line, our ceremony, and the entire reception! We and every single one of our guests had a blast dancing to their music. They played jazz, gospel, and even a killer hava nagila. Rob, the band leader, is also organized, responsive, and communicative, and a super nice guy. The band was also great at corralling the guests (who had never done a 2nd line) and leading them out of the venue to glorious song and music before putting on a heck of a show through the streets of the quarter. We just wish we could have danced all night long to this band’s amazing music.

Mikey offline 

5.0

New Orleans, LA
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800

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.

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.

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.

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. 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!
