Best band in BR
I cannot rave about this band enough. Not only do they get the party going, but they do not stop until it’s over. Chris is SO easy to work with, prompt with responding, and ensures to do everything in his power to make your event exactly what you want when it comes to music! I would get married every weekend just to have Downbeat play over and over again.

10/10 experience! Chris was super great with communication leading up to our wedding and even added one of my requests that they hadn’t played before. Our guests LOVED them!!!

Best Band of the Year
I want to get married again just to have Downbeat Louisiana perform!!! They were an absolute DREAM! They are so talented, spark joy in every guest, and love what they do. Chris made the booking process a breeze and was wonderful with communication. These people are truly meant for a stage. If I could do my wedding all over again, the first thing I’d do is book Downbeat Louisiana!

I don’t even know where to start — the communication, how they catered to us, they even helped with our timeline. If you’re questioning which band to go with, DON’T. I’ve probably said it 25 times already, and I’ll scream it from the rooftops: I would spend all the money in the world to have Downbeat Louisiana play at our wedding again. Our guests even talked my mom into paying for an extra hour because no one wanted to leave. Seriously, I cannot recommend them enough!
