We are using Smitty Dees. He was really quick to respond to us and very nice. 5 pc plus grandmarshal is $750. Overtime fee of $450 for a half hour, if you want them to play at your reception after the second line.

We used Smitty Dee's. They were great. Were on time and the grand marshall was awesome! i highly recommend them. Happy Planning!

Storyville Stompers was reasonably priced (under $1000 for a full hour) and great to work with!

I would suggest the Orginal Pin Stripe Brass Band. They have been in many second lines we have worked with. Hebert McCarver is the band leader, please let me know if you are interested so I can message you his number.

The Storyville Jazz Band is doing my wedding-
The "full" band is 6 people for second line type stuff & a little bit of other music if you wanted.
If you want 1 or 2 people to play at the church service, they can do 2 for 150.00.
(processional/recessional- ex. panis angelicus, trumpet tune, trumpet voluntary, wedding march, jesu joy of mans desire, etc)

Hey there - I know it was a while ago but I'm wondering how it went with Alex & The Storyville Jazz Band. I'm on the verge of booking them and just want to hear how your experience was. Thanks for your help!

Smitty Dee's performed a second line at my wedding. I found out a year after my wedding that my wedding guests had to pay them several hundred dollars out of pocket when they were threatening to leave before performing (bc a guest passed out in the middle of the ceremony and 911 had to be called; the band got tired of waiting). They didn't play the song that was requested to be played upon the bride and groom exiting St. Louis Cathedral. They LEFT THE BRIDE AND GROOM and proceeded down the street, leaving my husband and I to have to RUN several blocks in our wedding attire to catch up with them!!?!? Then once we caught up, they stopped dancing. They literally WALKED the rest of the way to the reception venue. ALL of their music was monotonous and not exciting. They were the part of our wedding we were most looking forward to showing out out of town guests to give them a NOLA wedding experience. They were the WORST part of our wedding! DO NOT BOOK THEM FOR ANYTHING! They were by far the worst decision I made for my wedding.
