    Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding was booking Downbeat for our wedding band. We got married on 4/26/25 and have recieved nothing but compliments from our guest of all ages. They exceeded our expectations, and we did not want the night or music to end! I cannot recommend them enough. They communicated very well with me and the wedding planners prior to the wedding and made any announcements requested at the reception. Chris also sang our first dance song which was a 10/10 phenomenal performance and so special and memorable! You will not regret booking with them!

    We booked Downbeat for our wedding reception at Capitol Park Museum and we are so glad we did! Every musician in the band is amazing. The videos online do not do this band justice. You have to see them in person! They know how to keep the dance floor packed and are just the right amount of interactive. All of our guests are still raving about Downbeat a month later! Not only is the band great, but Chris is EXTREMELY easy to work with! He was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. Weddings are stressful, but booking Downbeat is the most stress-free thing you will do. We discussed our taste in music prior to the wedding and he was able to create a perfect set list that made everyone happy! They even worked with us last minute to do a second line due to a new noise ordinance in the area and it was perfect! If you are booking a wedding or event, Downbeat is THE band!

    Downbeat Louisiana is absolutely amazing! Their energy, talent, and ability to engage the crowd made the night unforgettable. The music was the best part of the night! One of the most impressive things, aside from the music, was how they interacted with everyone! Chris was also so easy to work with, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. His professionalism and attention to detail made a huge difference, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. If you’re looking for a wedding band that is fun, professional, and truly talented, Downbeat Louisiana is the perfect choice!

    Hiring Downbeat Louisiana was easily one of the best decisions I made for my wedding reception. I knew I was in good hands with Chris and his crew. I went to check them out at a few public shows beforehand and loved the song selections. They played songs that our parents loved, that our friends loved, and all ages in between. From the moment our reception started, the dance floor was packed. They kept everyone out there too. They did everything in their power to make sure my wedding day was everything I dreamed of and more! I’m still getting texts from family and friends saying how good the band was. Chris also worked with my venue and my day of coordinator to make sure everything ran smoothly. And it did. As a bride that’s in a band, I KNEW a band was a non-negotiable for me. But that also made me picky because I know music. These musicians are TOP NOTCH! If you’re a bride that’s debating between a band and a DJ, I promise you, get the band. And get THIS band! It’s a totally different experience for you and your guests. There’s a reason this band has already won so many awards. You will not be disappointed with Downbeat Louisiana!
