On WeddingWire since 2014

Congratulations on your engagement, and thanks for your interest in the Panorama Jazz Band and the Panorama BRASS Band!

We've been marrying couples since 1995. We get a lot of joy from doing it and are very proud of our work over the years. Although we can't prove it, we feel that when we play for you, you will have an even happier marriage.

Panorama is an all-acoustic, seven-piece jazz band living and working in New Orleans, Louisiana. We play various styles of fun, party music from around the world, especially New Orleans, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

We have two separate bands, Panorama Jazz Band (sit-down band) and Panorama BRASS Band (marching band). Either can accompany your ceremony and reception, and even give you a bangin' New Orleans-style "second line." Our vibe is hip, eclectic, and fully representative of the Big Easy. Our setup is light and quick - in most cases, no PA system is necessary.

In many cases, we can even work out a special request for your ceremony processional or your first dance.

We'd love to play for y'all!

Ben Schenck


Panorama Jazz Band and Panorama BRASS Band are wedding bands based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

SIX STARS - these guys are awesome!

Wow, where do I even begin to express our incredible experience with Panorama? These guys are absolute rockstars. It felt like they were just as excited about our wedding as we were, and that level of enthusiasm made all the planning so much more enjoyable.

What really set Panorama apart was their calm and flexible demeanor. Wedding planning can be stressful, but these guys were like a cool breeze on a hot day. They rolled with the punches, adapted to changes effortlessly, and always had a smile on their faces. They asked just enough questions to make sure we had our desires fulfilled but weren't overwhelming at all. It made us feel like we were in the best hands possible.

They also have an amazing ability to blend cultures. We were celebrating a Jewish and Cajun wedding, and knew that music would be a big part of the blended experience. Panorama seamlessly incorporated elements from both cultures, creating a celebration that felt uniquely ours. They even helped us brainstorm more ways to incorporate our heritages and personalities throughout the day. Their second line was awesome! Their hora was fantastic! Their ceremony music was beautiful, and their cocktail hour and dinner music was so fun. Their music brought everyone together and ensured we had the best party ever.

And speaking of the party, Panorama brought the house down! Their music selection was spot-on. We were a bit worried about "only" having an instrumental band, but we needn't have worried at all. The dance floor was never empty, and even our more reserved guests couldn't resist their irresistible tunes. It was a non-stop party, and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

If you're looking for a wedding band that's not just about playing music but creating an experience, look no further than Panorama. They turned our special day into a magical celebration that we and our guests will remember forever. We wish we could get married again, just to party with Panorama! Thanks, y'all!

We love Panorama Jazz Band!

Panorama Jazz Band performed during our Welcome Party at The Columns Hotel on a Friday night. They were the life of the party, entertaining guests in their 20s and in their 70s. The positive experience with Panorama began even before the party started though - of all the vendors we had for the wedding, they were one of the most responsive, easiest to communicate with, and most friendly. We would certainly book Panorama again for another event in New Orleans. Their music quality, high energy, and professionalism all made them a smash hit!

Walk into a NOLA jazz party

Nothing but great things to say about Panorama! We wanted our guests to walk into a New Orleans jazz party and they brought it! They played beautiful processional music for our ceremony and got everyone on their feet dancing for the entire cocktail hour. Ben was a pleasure to work with. Thanks for making our wedding a true celebration!
