Crescent City Soul Band

—highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their event with great live music!

unded amazing. They can play everything. We and our guests were dancing and singing all night. Everyone was asking how we found this band, and all I can say was that we were very lucky to have chosen Crescent City Soul. Wendy was also very easy to work with and had great communication before hand, which allowed us to focus on just enjoying our wedding reception. We cannot recommend Crescent City Soul enough.

shorter engagement (10 months) I felt the pressure of wanting to get something secured QUICK! We chose Crescent City Soul, and I couldn’t have been more happy to have them at our wedding! The music selections were PERFECT! They were very interactive with our guests! Wendy was amazing to work with, very communicative, and very accommodating! I’m so grateful we had them be a part of a big day! They really created the vibe we dreamed of and executed with perfection! 10/10!

in our budget too! If you’re looking for a fun wedding band that keeps the crowd dancing, I highly recommend this one!

e is still getting rave reviews about CCS and how awesome they were. Wendy was such a delight to work with and let us select most of our songs. I am so OCD so wanted a certain playlist and Wendy did it beautifully engaging the dancing crowd. I cannot recommend CCS for your wedding or event!

old brother-in-law was even up rocking it out!] and the band's play list covered all the bases. Very professional, spot on musicianship and lots of power [as a former trombonist I love a great horn band!]. And by the end of the evening I got the distinct impression that the band was having as much fun as the audience! Great!

their set list to a varied age range in the audience and adjust as they go based on what the crowd responds to.

any guests said they were the best wedding band they've ever heard, and we whole-heartedly agree. They really knocked it out of the park, and we are so glad we chose them. During wedding planning, we listened to at least 10 of the typical New Orleans wedding bands and were having trouble finding a group that was vibrant, talented and entertaining. A friend recommended Crescent City Soul to us after we reached out, as he's super connected to the New Orleans music scene. We listened, and they were the perfect fit. Prior to our wedding, the band was incredibly communicative and professional. They even learned our first dance song, going above and beyond for us. At the wedding, they played the perfect mix of wedding classics and more contemporary hits, and were instrumental in getting people on the dance floor and creating the fun party atmosphere we wanted for our reception. Our wedding was a blast, based in no small part on Crescent City Soul. In our opinion, Crescent City Soul is easily the best wedding band in Nola, and we highly recommend using them for any kind of event. They are so talented and really bring an exciting energy - again, our guests could not stop talking about how great our band was.

o our first dances beyond what any DJ could dream of doing. They had 4 singers out (not including our wedding guests who got on stage) and each one of them was incredible. There was a perfect replication of Louis Armstrong amongst others. They hit the classics but also some of the more niche punk rock songs we wanted and a few surprise bangers in there. They are a large part of why our wedding was so fun. Cannot recommend enough. We love these guys so much and are so grateful for how they elevated our wedding.

loved it. We would book them again any day & recommend them to every bride & groom looking for a wedding band!

hey worked with us to create our set list so everything was crafted to our event. We plan to book them for Prom again in 2024. Even if you can't go see them in a public venue before booking them, you will not be disappointed booking them for your event.

nded AWESOME. My guests are still talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor! They are truly the #1 wedding band.

esponsive, and executed beautifully. Coming from someone who is OCD and wanted everything to be perfect, Wendy and Crescent City Soul made sure everything went off without a hitch! I canNOT recommend them enough to celebrate your special day.

ike Louis Armstrong. We added on the DJ services too and that was beyond worth it. Definitely do not hesitate to hire this band if you want a fun night!

t hesitate to book. I don't know how they're still available but if they are, get them!

ch was appreciated. The venue said they never had a function with so many people dancing! We overflowed the dance floor! Wendy was very communicative and easy to work with. She catered to our group. Definitely get the horns and the extra singers. What great talent! You can't go wrong with this band.

ny special occasion.

ght long. They sure know how to lead the party and cater to the audience. Thank you for being passionate about music and great at what you do.

very accommodating to our requests that we sent in a few months before the wedding. We’re very picky about what songs we don’t like and they didn’t play anything we didn’t want to hear. We asked for a lot of New Orleans music - they blew us away with the Treme Song for our second line and Pocky Way was a highlight. We asked them to play any Billy Joel song they’d like and they crushed it with “You May Be Right.” Their versatility is tops! We danced our asses off all night and they were the fuel for the party. Four months after the fact and people are still raving to us about Crescent City Soul! They might be the best kept secret in town!

esearched and wanted to know if their music was on iTunes! Wendy was also great to work with along the way! Check out their insta for some great examples. They are what you are looking for!

think they could have chosen better than Crescent City Soul. CCS has an amazing sound (love those horns!!), and they are so responsive to the wishes of the couple. Wendy was very easy to work with. She knows when to give the couple the spotlight, and when to get right in the middle of everything to keep that party going. We had a four hour reception, and I don't think anyone was ready to leave when it was over. The dance floor was packed! My friends (50s and 60s) loved it, my daughter's friends (20s and 30s) loved it, and I'm pretty sure the teenagers did too, since they were out there dancing all night. I would definitely hire them again! CCS is wonderful! Do yourself a favor and check out Crescent City Soul Band.

We had the best time. Every email and question I had was answered so quickly and professionally by Wendy, and she even helped make every special request I had possible. I highly recommend Crescent City Soul Band to anyone who wants to have a full dance floor the whole night!!

eception. They are extremely talented musicians! Wendy helped put this MOB’s mind at ease as she answered my endless questions.

t music! They were very professional and always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend them!

impressive range in styles that they do well. Wendy is extremely easy to work with and very responsive by email. If you can, I strongly recommend contracting their additional lead female singer - they are magic together! Thank you so much, CCS band!

She was able to get permits and security to parade and party the night away!

ce floor from the first or second song and didn't leave until the very end of the night. It was AMAZING! We had such a good time with them! HIRE THEM NOW!

ns for your wedding and I would choose CCSB over and over and over. People were on the dance floor before we were even announced! & by the end of the night they had to kick us out. There was never a moment where the floor wasn’t packed & that was my goal! So grateful for Wendy & the entire band. Wendy is also so easy to get in touch with & she works with your budget to create the perfect evening!

just seemed to know what music to play and kept everyone on their feet and engaged. Thank you for helping to make our daughters wedding a huge success.

whatever demos they had on their websites. Thank you, Crescent City Soul for having a wide array of songs to listen to on your site. We were originally going to go with the band my best friend used for her wedding because we'd heard them live but the person we were in contact with was very fond of mansplaining. That was a quick no from us. Enter Wendy with Crescent City Soul. She was so easy to talk to and up front about all of the bands needs for an outdoor venue. She was quick to respond to all of our emails. CCS also did our second line after the ceremony for a fair price and they did a wonderful job. As for the reception, they were everything I dreamed of and more. So much talent. Our guests danced the night away and are still raving about our band. A total dream come true for a wedding band. Thank you!

d of the night! I know no other band could have done such a wonderful job. We are still getting compliments! Thank you CCS!!

n a last minute (day-of!) venue change. On top of all that, the music was phenomenal!! All of our guests still talk about how good the band was-- I cannot recommend them enough if you're looking for a band in the NOLA area.

wedding guests. A couple of our wedding guests sing and play the guitar, and CCSB warmly welcomed them on the stage to play a song. We highly recommend CCSB!

llenging at times. Thank you, Wendy, for all the correspondence and help during the delays. You are so very appreciated. We were so excited to have this reception come to fruition and to see the musicians back on stage! It was amazing on both counts. The band definitely read the crowd and had us all dancing the entire night. The dance floor was never empty. That's a testament of the talent and entertainment. Having a LIVE band changes the energy level in the room for sure. Their pricing is very reasonable. I thank all the musicians for such a fun evening! I've had so many compliments on the music and wanted to share that with you all. Thank you for hanging in with us during the delays. Thank you for helping to make this such a night to remember, Amy Lewis 07-10-2021

CCS was truly everything we looked for in a band and MORE! Wendy was beyond professional, responsive and flexible to work with (not easy planning a wedding during covid). And to top it all off we JAMMED the night of our wedding!!! I think the dance floor was packed the entire night. Friends and family are still talking about how amazing the band was! Would 100% recommend CCS for any event (not just wedding) that you are looking to have a good time/dance at! Not to mention - amazing price point for the caliber of talent. Will definitely hire for my next event in LA!
