Communication with Gerard at GrizzLee Entertainment was easy and he always had a quick response time. Gerard had the best quality equipment and sound, which really elevated our wedding reception. He used an app that made everything so easy and took the guesswork out of everything. We were able to share a playlist with him and give him an idea of what we liked, and he took that and took it to the next level. We highly recommend booking with Gerard and would hire him again!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for an unforgettable addition to your wedding or private event, look no further than Hot 8 Brass Band. I first heard them perform at a concert in New Orleans. When my then-fiance and I decided we were going to get married in New Orleans, they were my first choice as performers. We're not from New Orleans and neither were the majority of our guests. We knew that if we were going to introduce the idea of a second line, we had to get it right. Hot 8 delivered! Right after our cocktail hour, guests were offered champagne and invited to line-up. As we made our way down historic St. Charles Avenue, Hot 8 played a medley of Teddy Pendergrass, Tems, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Bill Withers and more. Folks went crazy. After we returned to the venue, they went into an hourlong set that kept the dancefloor full. Even I popped up a few times to dance underneath the stars, with our stars! We're a month out and our guests, who were a range of ages and races, still can't stop raving about this band. If you want to ensure your guests have an out-of-this-world experience that they won't soon forget, make sure you book the Hot 8 Brass Band.

The NOLA Brass band is a lively second line styled brass band from New Orleans, LA. It began in 2005 originally with humble beginnings only having three members walking around the 7th ward playing out of the love of the music. Over the course of 12 years, the band would flourish to 8 members along with overcoming many obstacles and setting many milestones for such young musicians. We have recorded 3 studio albums, performed in numerous states and festivals including the Jazz and Heritage festival and Honkfest in Texas. The band genre covers traditional jazz, funk, hip-hop, and pop tunes We guarantee you will move your feet!

We booked Young Fellaz for our wedding secondline, guest entrance, and ceremony music. They guys sounded amazing and truly brought the New Orleans jazz experience to our home in Mississippi. Like so many other couples in 2020, we had to reschedule our date and venue. Daimon was super accommodating with all of the changes, happy to cooperate with our venue's safety guidelines, and quick to respond in all of our communication together. The band even learned two songs to play during the ceremony processional and exit. We were so happy they were part of our big day. We highly recommend Young Fellaz for weddings and any other occasions!
