They did such a fantastic job and were so professional

My husband and I loved working with Billy and the New Orleans Players for our wedding! They did such a fantastic job and were so professional. Billy did our ceremony music on guitar and the whole band played for the reception. They were so much fun and at one point noticed that my hubby was signing along to Naive Melody - next thing you know they got him behind the mic and he was singing the second verse!! The brass band they work with also did all the planning for our secondline (including all the permitting with the city of New Orleans) and it completely blew all of my expectations out of the water. It was was so hype and they even shut down Canal Street for our group! So many of our guests said that the second line was the coolest thing they had ever done and may also be why so many others were saying "Best wedding ever!!" You are truly missing out if you don't hire them for your wedding!

Thank you all for making our wedding so much fun!

The New Orleans Players were great! When I see people and we talk about the wedding, they share how awesome the band was. The Players brought great energy to our wedding and the second line that ended our reception. Billy was easy to get in contact with and he stayed on top of communication throughout the planning process. Thank you all for making our wedding so much fun!

The best you can get

We had gone through quite the journey trying to find the right venue and band for our wedding's afterparty. The pandemic had made things challenging, but we were connected to The New Orleans Players through our venue. While initially dubious as to whether the venue was recommending a band that would offer the energy and musicality we needed, we were completely blown away by their playing and energy! It was exactly what we wanted for the party: a wide breadth of songs from multiple eras, a well-balanced and -honed sound, and evident professionalism on all fronts. Billy coordinated the logistics and made it extremely easy. Their asking price was phenomenal, and they blew our friends and family away with their set! We were SO pleased with The New Orleans Players and give them our strongest recommendation! Thank you to all of the musicians! -Trey and Sarah
