Tidal Wave Brass Band was absolutely unreal. Prior to our event, they were extremely communicative, affordable, and did all of the planning. The event went on without a hitch. They played such fun music, and all of our guests and even strangers on the street were having a blast. Highly highly recommend!

I hired Tidal Wave for w parties I did in Nola in October,2025 and they were awesome. They really got the crown going. I would highly recommend.

Do not pass Tidal Wave up. If you're thinking about it, do it! You 100% will be so happy about going with them. Tidal wave was so professional, accommodating, and easy to work with. You can call John 'the bride whisperer,' they are literally the best! I had to change my venue/location/plan about three months before the date, even the time changed a lot closer to the date. They were awesome and were able to easily change things for me. Ya'll they even played FOR MY WALK DOWN THE AISLE!!!!

Can't recommend Tidal Wave enough! They were professional, punctual, and so much fun. We had some crazy weather blow through our outdoor wedding, which complicated second lining - but the band adapted and did a beautiful job! We had the most fun and special day ever and Tidal Wave certainly was a big contributor to that. Thank you Tidal Wave!!!

Tidal Wave brought the party!! I am so glad I chose Tidal Wave for my Second Line at my wedding. They handled all the permitting, police escort and route planning so I didn't have to lift a finger. When I called to confirm they assured me I didn't have to worry about a thing and THEY MEANT IT. I trusted them completely and they were absolutely top notch. Showed up early, brought the house down and then out to the streets we went. Everyone was dancing and singing along to the songs they played as we partied through the quarter. Safe to say Tidal Wave made my dreams come true. I am so grateful to them and would recommend, nay INSIST, that anyone looking to hire a brass band should look no further.

We recommend Tidal Wave Brass Band for anyone looking to infuse their event with authentic New Orleans flair and infectious energy. Their performance added a dynamic and culturally rich element to our wedding, leaving a lasting impression on us .🥂🎺🎶

We absolutely loved Tidal Wave Brass Band! John set up a call to introduce himself and to see if we had any questions or specific requests. Most vendors you’re communicating via email, he added the personal touch! The band was prompt, enthusiastic and engaging. Our wedding guests are still talking about the band. They were epic! They created a lifelong memories.

I hired the Tidal Wave Brass band for my daughters Wedding 5/25/24 and they were Amazing! We are from New Orleans and the music selections they played were modern songs played in the second line style. I have never had a band play this style. The guest are still talking about how great the music was. My Daughter had no idea I had found such a unique band. He one request was to find a band that were in a uniform for her Formal Wedding. They looked great. She and her Husband said the second line was the best part of the wedding! Upon booking, it was professional and I was given a contract with a small deposit. They showed on time and did an amazing performance and they sing! The songs were singable. We oved it!
Thank you Tidal Wave Brass Band for making my Daughter Wedding a memorable one.

The energy was great and they sent the staff off into their Christmas break in a New Orleans fashion!

Hiring Tidal Wave for my wedding reception was the best decision. Everyone loved their vibe and they were the best way to end the party. The transition from DJ to brass band was seamless. John was super professional and great to works with. He even gave us some dates for days they were playing around the city so we could hear them ahead of time. Would definitely hire again for another party!
