Dat Band

Dat Band was incredible!! Working with Chad made it so easy to get exactly what we wanted for our wedding, he made a special hybrid band so that we could have salsa music (for my family) and Louisiana classics ( for my husband) which couldn't have been easy! My only regret from my wedding is that I literally didn't leave the dance floor once, so I never saw my venue or guests lol totally worth it! Book these guys to get the party started!!

If you’re looking for a band for your wedding, look no further than Dat Band! They were amazing to work with planning our wedding day. Our guests are still raving how awesome the band was, they were so interactive with our guests and we had a blast! I first saw Dat Band at one of my friend’s weddings, I knew I had to have them for our wedding day! I would definitely recommend Dat Band to anyone looking for an amazing interactive band, that will carry the crowd the entire time!

We had an awesome time at our wedding. Chad did such an amazing job with the planning prior to the wedding. The band was so much fun and got everyone on the dance floor. They followed all of our requests to a t, and played an awesome set list of music we loved. I would absolutely recommend Dat Band to anyone that is looking for a good time on their special night.

Incredible!!! I don't think we got off the dance floor all night, and neither did our guests! They were able to read the room and get things hopping from the minute everyone came through the doors! The female vocalist was outstanding in particular! We loved every minute having Dat Band be our entertainment! I've been to weddings where it's like pulling teeth to get people out there and having fun, and that was definitely not the case with ours. People are still raving about how much fun they had.. we can't thank yall enough for the good time!

We worked with Chad and the crew of Dat Band for a smashingly delightful event at Race + Religious. With the unpredictable weather, the crew were innovative with relocating to stay clear of the rain; they were pleasant to work with, very inviting and so engaging. Guests had a blast singing along with all the best hits. We definitely will recommend Dat Band!

Every time someone talks to me or my wife about our wedding, they ALWAYS bring up Dat Band and how great the music was! Dat Band was super professional, easy to work and accommodate with, and created an amazing experience for our big day. From the time they opened the dance floor to the end of the wedding, people were dancing to the music, and everyone who attended said it was because of Dat Band. I will be recommending them to everyone I know that is looking for a great band.

Dat Band brought the party to our wedding! They were hands down the BEST decision we made besides getting married. Seriously though, we couldn’t have been more blessed to have had the opportunity to book a band, let alone, one this phenomenal. The communication, professionalism, and genuine excitement this group shares in the celebration will help ease the planning process. Do yourself a favor and book this band!

Dat Band was everything we asked for and so much more than we expected. The music was amazing, absolutely the best band I’ve heard at a wedding. The singers were wonderful…. They sang with non-stop energy all night and were engaged with guests from the beginning to the very end. They even gave the bride and groom a celebrity name and had the whole place chanting it between songs. Chad was great to work with ahead of time and very easy to contact. He was very responsive with pricing and options. The band honored the requested playlist perfectly and played a wide ride of music that appealed to everyone. I would hire Dat Band for any event in the future, especially another wedding. I highly recommend Dat Band based on the music, the fun and energy they brought, the range of music played, the ease of working with them, and the price.

We had to reschedule our wedding due to covid , and our band was the only vendor who couldn’t do our new date. So we found Dat Band- and we are SO glad it worked out this way. Dat band absolutely exceeded our expectations! Armando was so easy to work with, and so kind and responsive. I pretty much hand picked their playlist- the live music they played (80s and 90s of course!) as well as specific rap songs we wanted played during their quick breaks. Not only did they follow our list as requested, but every song they played was phenomenal. The artists are so talented - our dance floor was packed all night! Even two years later, people still ask us who our band was, and compliment our choice. We are very glad fate hooked us up with Dat Band. Highly recommend!

This is the Band you need at your wedding! Easy to work with and great song selections. I had a guitarist for my background and ceremony music and the 8 piece band for my 4 hour reception. Great energy that kept everyone on the dance floor. The vocalist was excellent and interacted with the guests. Guests keep telling me how great the band was and how much fun the had. Dat Band exceeded all my expectations and more!!

Edited for addtl context after reading vendor response: Pros: 1. The musicians themselves are SO talented. A violin + cello provided background music for guest arrival & ceremony. An 8-piece band with two vocalists provided music for the 3-hour set during the reception. When the live musicians were playing, everyone was in awe. I believe our vocalists were Victoria and Clay, and they absolutely killed it. It felt like being at a concert. 2. Online booking site is easy to use and organized. 3. They understood the concept of a venue "flip" and could pull it off (for an additional fee). Cons: 1. We had asked the band to keep the bride's processional a secret/special song only to be used for processional. Chad/Holly had made a note of it. Musicians practiced the song multiple times on the day of the wedding as guests arrived and while the groom was in the room. Made it a little underwhelming/ruined the "surprise" when it played as the bride walked in. 2. Incorrect song played for recessional. Violin + cello started playing a live song rather than our requested recorded song being played. Someone corrected the musicians after a few seconds, but we were halfway down the aisle, and it was just a bit awkward. 3. Bouquet Toss announced incorrectly. We had discussed multiple times with Chad/Holly that we wanted an untraditional toss, and we wanted all guests participating. They announced the usual "single ladies" toss, which we did not want. Bride had to request mic on the night of the wedding to correct the band. 4. Coordination between band and day-of coordinator not great. Parent dances started 45-55 minutes late. Band notes that coordinator should be in charge of timeline (which is fair), but coordinator (from trusted local company) says band was not following directives/cues throughout evening. 5. DJ add-on: We had spoken with Chad several times about having an outside DJ hired for our last 90 minute set. We were told this was initially not an issue. We found out about a month before the wedding that Dat Band would start removing all our upgraded dance floor lighting (which we paid extra for) and break down all equipment before our DJ set began. We thought this would kill the vibe of party before it was over. We feel we were talked into using Dat Band's DJ add-on in order to avoid the early breakdown. Chad knew we were firing our original DJ in order to make the switch. On the night of the wedding (we didn't find out until it was happening) but Dat Band's DJ add-on is actually a laptop playlist + speaker. Chad is seated at drumset for this set while music plays. Music had full gaps between songs - like playing a Spotify playlist at home. While we're sure other couples are fine with this setup, Chad was aware we were trying to achieve something more energetic with that last hour. He never mentioned on ANY of our calls that their offering would not be the same. Agree to disagree on clarity of contract. We feel calling this "DJ-style" is still inaccurate/misleading. We expressed our disappointment on the night of the wedding. Chad refunded us the cost of of this DJ add-on. We did not ask for this. We appreciate the gesture; however, we would have appreciated more professional communication so that we knew what to expect. We would have kept our original DJ. We wanted to end the night with more energy. Dat Band will go on to play hundreds of other weddings. We just get one. A refund will unfortunately not give that night back to us.

I can’t speak more highly of a live band to play at your wedding or next event. Armando was easy to work with, taking requests before our wedding and assuring us that he would play songs based on the crowd at the event. We could not have asked for a better song selection to keep our guests out on the dance floor the entire night, have a memorable second line, and just overall have a great time. We have received countless compliments on the band following our wedding reception and would highly recommend Dat Band to anyone who wants live music at their next event!

What an amazing experience with Dat Band! I knew right when I heard Armando’s voice I wanted to book them for my wedding! From the beginning he was very prompt with answering my emails, which was then passed to Holly the band project manager. She answered every question I had, FaceTimed me when I was stressing out over making sure everything was set up with the band. When I needed to find something for another vendor I had sent to her, within 10mins she had the information and sent it to me! She without a doubt helped ease my stress! Once I found out Armando was going to be the male singer for my wedding I could have cried with joy, actually I may have cried lol they arrived and set everything up how they needed to. I was able to talk with Armando before hand and introduce myself, such a sweet and easy to work with guy! Any song request that I came up with during my reception they made happen. Excellent, excellent band to work with. Now, if Armando would come out with some songs to be able to download and listen to my life would be that much better! I truly am going to miss conversating with them both! Thank y’all again so much!

I cannot recommend Dat Band enough!!!! They just did our destination wedding in New Orleans this weekend and it was the best time ever. Dat Band says they bring the party and they truly mean it. Our families have been raving about them ever since. They were super easy to work with, thank you Holly and Chad. Another great thing they do is read the room, they knew all the right songs to play just by us giving them our top 10 list. They also coordinated the entire second line and it could not have been any better. 100% one of the top vendors on our wedding day.

Dat Band was absolutely amazing!! They kept the dance floor packed all night, exactly as promised, and they did such a great job reading the crowd! So many of our guests talked to us after the reception about how much they loved the band, and how awesome it was to have a live band at a New Orleans wedding. The band members were so fun and took the time before the reception started to check in with us, which was super sweet. They even did Jello shots with us during a set break! We would one hundred percent endorse booking them for your wedding celebration (or for any party, for that matter!) if you're looking for amazing energy and excellent music! Thanks so much, y'all!

Dat Band surpassed all expectations! They were absolutley amazing! Once the dance floor opened, no guests left. They truly gave us an amazing wedding. They played to our crowd and even picked up on certain phrases our guests were using to help keep everyone engaged. I would book them again in a heart beat.

I planned my NOLA wedding from Texas with a short turn-around so I didn't have much time to research many of my vendors. My wedding planner recommended Dat Band and when we their song list, we liked that they had a lot of 70s and funk, and with limited time on our hands, we booked them. Their performance at the wedding was great and they seamlessly set up and tore down their set. The knock on the stars has to do with my desire for a certain level of customer service that I did not receive. 1. Dat Band is pretty expensive. I haven't compared to others to say whether they are above industry standard but they are enough of an investment to where one should expect total satisfaction. Their cost should have yielded 5 stars from me. They also had a big neon sign advertising the band on their stage which was extremely tacky. 2. We went through every single song on their song list (100s of songs) and gave the band a final list of all the songs we were accepting of. We made it clear that we obviously don't expect every song to be played but there was enough for the band to curate their set list while staying within our request. This was initially met by resistance, then understanding, and at the wedding, there were definitely songs played that we didn't want. 3. I asked if we could use their speakers for the 3 min ceremony music. I was told this would be a $300 charge. I almost accepted until I realized I was going to have to rent speakers anyway for when the band was finished and we would play other music. I thought it was quite disrespectful and greedy that they wouldn't let us use their speakers for the few minutes needed for the ceremony. And I was later told that during the ceremony some guests in the back near the band couldn't hear the officiant because the band kept chatting. This guest was so frustrated he almost went to tell them something but didn't want to disrupt the ceremony. 4. This is a corporate band, I'm not sure exactly how it works but it sounded like a management company that that has a roster of musicians it can pull from (just my assumption). I would have preferred a local New Orleans band that brought some authenticity but since we had already booked I thought maybe the corporate route would ensure some professionalism. Overall, the band members performed well but I recommend doing some shopping around before committing. And make sure to establish your wishes up front, ask for some grace and hospitality, and don't settle for the corporate template. Cheers!

Dat Band was an absolute blast and so fun to work with! Holly listened to all of our requests leading up to the wedding, and on the day of, Chad and the rest of the band brought their A game! They read the crowd so well, and we got so many compliments on the music from people of all ages. We were so glad we could also book our second line through Dat Band as well. The second line was definitely one of the highlights of the night! Thank you for making our wedding night one to remember!

An amazing experience from start to finish. We were a little intimidated by the process of finding a wedding band for our destination wedding in New Orleans (on 3/26/2022) and Chad and his team made the process so easy. We had an initial virtual meeting in which Chad answered all of our questions and more. Their pricing and options are very straight forward and they have a great method of gathering info to ensure that they capture the vibe that we wanted. We are also so incredibly grateful for their flexibility. Due to an issue with our venue, Chad and his team had to change their set up to a different location within the property and did so seamlessly. Our guests raved about Dat Band! Many of our guest remarked that this was the best wedding that they have ever been to and Chad and his team absolutely played a huge role in this. We can't thank them enough for helping to make our big day an epic party!

We were so pleased with Dat Band throughout the planning and wedding weekend! It was important to us that the band is high-energy and keeps the crowd on the dance floor, and they absolutely delivered! Our guests of all ages had a blast at our reception. Chad was so responsive and professional in our initial inquiry; we felt assured Dat Band would be the right fit for us. They went above and beyond during the planning to do a site visit with us and coordinate with the reception venue and make sure everything from the space to the sound quality to the power requirements would work smoothly. We had no worries on the day that they had it covered. Leading up to the day, Chad and Holly were so accommodating to our requests and made sure the vibe we had in mind was captured.

AMAZING! AMAZING! I booked Dat Band during covid when no one was really able to play. I had never heard Dat Band play before and all I knew of them was their videos and reviews. Let me tell you, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The wedding was almost two months ago and I still have people contacting me and talking about how amazing and fun they were! They got on the dance floor with us singing and dancing and kept everyone on the dance floor! I cannot reccommend Dat Band enough! So amazing to work with! You NEED them for any event! Thank you for making our wedding the funnest night of our lives!

Dat Band is AMAZING! From the time they started playing to the time the reception ended, no one left the dance floor. We are so thankful to have had such an incredible band for our big day, and our guests have not stopped raving about Dat Band! When searching for a band, we were SO impressed with Emily, and we are so glad she was able to get the party going for us! The entire band is engaging with the crowd and makes sure everyone is on their feet, enjoying themselves. Thank you times a million! Yall rock!

THE BEST EVER EVER!!!!!!! I don't know anyone who had a Nola wedding and didn't use them. They are SO accommodating in every single way. They know TONS of amazing covers, their vocalist is sooooo incredibly talented, they have all of their own equipment, they help navigate the wedding timeline, they insisted on getting me and my husband (I'm rather shy when it comes to stuff like that) up there dancing with them and I am SO thankful they broke me out of my shell (mostly for pics/video hahaha). Anyway - I can't say enough good things about them! They did our entire ceremony music, our rehearsal, and our second line for a VERY reasonable price!!! DEFINITELY USE THEM!!!!!!!!

Dat Band was so amazing! We received many compliments on how good they sounded!! We also used them for our ceremony music and everything sounded perfect! Highly recommend!!

Do you want to have the BEST time at your reception dancing the night away? Then hire Dat Band. They not only sound phenomenal but are SO FUN. They played such a good variety and I didn't want to leave the dance floor all night!! Also, a singer that can do both Adele and Lizzo?? SOLD!

Amazing!!!!! From being out of town and with the pandemic, we were super stressed out on not being able to see our wedding band before hiring them. Dat Band was incredible and we’ve gotten so many compliments about them! Thank you!!

Dat Band is the BEST wedding band in the South. PERIOD. FULL STOP. This band, lead by Armando, is extremely easy to work with. They were dependable and reliable, competitively priced, and helped us with the planning logistics and building the set-list, with attention to detail so we got everything and more on our special day. How great is this band? Well, on the day of our wedding we had a last minute cancellation by our separate fine string ensemble that was scheduled to play during our wedding ceremony. Armando and Dat Band quickly came to our rescue and offered to help by having the band's amazing guitarist step in and play the ceremony set without skipping a beat! THEY SAVED THE DAY for us without hesitation. That goes above and beyond what I would expect from a band and it speaks volumes about their quality and character. We HIGHLY recommend you hire them for your wedding! You will not be disappointed with the party they throw -their energy and passion kept our wedding guests dancing all night. CHEERS to Dat Band!

You cannot go wrong with Dat Band! Chad has made their booking process seamless with lots of options for customization. We used them for both ceremony and reception. The ceremony music Chad suggested was perfect and our dance floor was packed all night. Some of our own guests have already hired Dat Band for their own upcoming events!

DAT BAND was absolutely fabulous and so accommodating to all of our request and song choices. The guest did not want the party to end because they enjoyed the band so much and wanted to know how we found this awesome band. I am so glad that we attended a local bridal show where we were able to meet Chad and get information about DAT BAND. I highly recommend DAT BAND and look forward to having them at another function.

Absolutely amazing service from day one until the reception. Chad and company work hard to ensure that you have a pleasant experience and take care to ensure they know the exact music you want played. They are upbeat and fun on the dance floor and have a great sound. Highly recommended.

Date Band was absolutely fantastic! Every person we spoke to absolutely loved them. Three weeks later we are still getting asked "Who was Dat Band? They were awesome!". They had the dance floor rocking from start to finish. The dance off was absolutely killer! They accommodated every song request and made the night as perfect as can be. I highly, highly highly recommend you reach out to them if you're looking for the dance floor to be rocking!

I was so perfectly pleased with this band. They can play everything and make it sound amazing! Thank you for making my daughter’s night do special!! You have my highest rating!

Speechless! Dat Band MADE our wedding. Our dance floor was packed from 8PM all the way to 11PM and our guests still couldn't get enough! Thank you Dat Band!

Whoa!! What an amazing band! They were so entertaining, engaging, and such a great show! They played great songs that kept the crowd entertained and almost everyone was on the dance floor the entire night!! Highly recommend Dat Band!!

Dat Band played at our wedding reception in March 2021 and they were absolutely fantastic! We had to move our wedding 3 different times due to Covid but Chad and Dat Band were so flexible and easy to work with when it came to rescheduling. They were professional and were super responsive! Their talent is unmatched and I have had several guests ask me for their contact information for their upcoming weddings. I highly recommend Dat Band! They made our night so fun and energetic. We loved them!

Dat Band played our wedding ceremony and reception this February and I truly can’t even thank them enough for creating the most fun and personalized atmosphere for us! Chad checked in several times with our COVID updates, was always timely with responses and was so patient with our many many changes. Ultimately, Dat Band made all of our dreams come true... our guests raved about the Second Line and reception music! Not only amazing artists but really good people to work with. Would be crashing any event they do in the future!

Chad and Dat Band are the kindest people ever!!! Chad went out of his way to communicate with me back and forth professionally! He was so generous and sent me a brochure and small token of his appreciation for just contacting him!! Truly one of the most thoughtful things ever! I can’t say enough about Chad and his willingness to make any bride’s day perfect!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Dat Band played at our wedding and they were INCREDIBLE! I knew we wanted to hire them after seeing their extensive song list. They can do everything from old to new, rock, rap, country, etc. About a month before the wedding you fill out a detailed form regarding the songs you do and don’t want to hear. They do an amazing job of following this form! They also took song requests during the reception but they never played songs I didn’t want to hear. Everyone danced all night! In addition to their extensive song list they will learn up to 3 songs of your choice. There’s really nothing bad I can say about them and I can’t thank Dat Band enough for making our wedding fun and unforgettable!

Chad and the band were so personable and professional. Having Dat Band play at our wedding was so important to us that we moved our venue to accommodate them to play outside to adhere to COVID restrictions. They kept us dancing all night! Everyone loved the band. Thanks for making our long awaited day so fun.

Dat Band played at our wedding this last weekend and exceeded all of our expectations! We loved being able to customize the size of the band and the option to have both a male and female singer. Not only did they look and sound amazing but they were genuinely sweet and so easy to work with. Our venue coordinator made sure to tell us how bad she felt about the loading area being full when they arrived and that the guys said no problem and parked down the street. She was so impressed with their easy going attitudes that she went out of her way to share with me the day after. Chad definitely helped calm me down the week of the wedding and was just as cool in person. They played the most FUN music and kept the crowd engaged and on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! They played to our guests of all ages and I couldn’t have picked a more perfect set list myself! They played all of our special requests and none of our ‘do not play’ songs. And lastly, that red glitter lipstick was FIRE!

From the beginning Chad was receptive, helpful, and professional. We, like all couples, tan into some issues with COVID. Chad was so helpful navigating and advising us through the process. The band.... well, nothing but rave reviews. The dance floor was full all night! We loved every minute.

Stop! Look no further for your wedding band. Dat Band is the one you want. Many bands are talented, but few actually cater to the tastes of the client. Not so with Dat Band. This band listens and delivers. We could not have hoped for a better band for my daughter's wedding. Chad responds promptly to all calls and emails and really cares about the show he and his talented band members put on. What really surprised me was how Dat Band took the pulse of the crowd and managed to keep the party going until the very end. Their music selections are extensive and Chad and the crew are more than willing to accept special requests, even offering to learn songs just for your event. If you want to party with the ultimate dance band, choose Dat Band. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

We chose Dat Band to play our wedding in December and they have been SO FANTASTIC to work with. Chad is makes himself available for calls to discuss logistics pretty much at any time and puts my mind to ease every time - he certainly knows his stuff! They take all the stress of planning away in a time SO filled with uncertainty and fear (planning a wedding during a pandemic EEK). I love how flexible and responsive they are and would recommend them to any bride!

DAT Band played for our daughter’s Wedding this past weekend and we absolutely loved them! They had the dance floor jumping ! Loved the way they interact with the crowd!!!

Just stop the hunt and BOOK DAT BAND! Can you imagine 187 Miami natives traveling to New Orleans and ready to party? When searching for a band I looked for a few things: Energy, variety in their music and professionalism. Dat Band encompasses all that and more. The moment I reached out, Chad was quick to get me all the information I needed. I had no idea that they even had a hispanic singer with a band ranging from 5 to 11 piece band! WOW! I wanted music that not only captured the soul of NoLa but also played classics and even our Cuban heritage songs! We were impressed to say the least and guest continue to say how much they enjoyed the music and the performance by the band. Can I also point out that they are a one stop shop? I was able to have not only several hours of live music but also some DJ moments to accompany the band. Which is great because there were a few legends we had to hear play! The most important thing was the ease of all of this! Not only was Chad and their team organized and easy to converse with but the way they went about planning everything and preparing important questions, I never even thought of to ask, made our destination wedding all that much better! Beyond grateful for the beautiful music played and the excitement they carried the whole way through! From the bottom of our hearts (and our guests) Thank you! Caro & Celso 11/2/19 at The Roosevelt Hotel

Dat Band is outstanding! From the beginning, Chad was extremely helpful, reachable and responsive. I had not seen Dat Band live prior to hiring them, but had read up on all the reviews and watched videos of the band, and thought they were just what I was looking for. Chad’s communication is what gave me so much confidence in selecting them. Fast forward to the wedding, they exceeded all of my expectations, and I truly mean it – they were AWESOME. The music selections were perfect, the band was so engaging and brought so much energy, and our guests had a blast dancing all night long. If you are considering hiring a band, this is the one. Not only are they amazing musicians who keep the dance floor packed, they are so professional and easy to work with.

Dat Band was amazing!!!! I’m glad I was able to booked them for our Destination Wedding: October 19, 2019! They had all my guests of all types of musical taste dancing their butts off! And the musicianship was just to die for! My guests still talk about them! Thanks so much!!

DAT BAND played at our wedding reception, and we are still laughing and smiling a month later because of all the fun we had! Not only did they play incredible music, they also got the crowd involved, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. We even had a bride vs. groom booty-shaking contest- so much fun! Highly recommend for an unforgettable night!

If you’re looking for a wedding band, just stop your search now. It was 95 degrees at my outdoor wedding, and the dance floor was still full. We chose Dat Band because their prices are fair, and our first conversation was so friendly and made me feel like they would prioritize our wedding being a fun time for everyone. They delivered that and more. They accommodated every request (even a change the night before our wedding), played our song so beautifully and gave me a first dance I’ll never forget (my husband isn’t really a dancer, but he was at our wedding thanks to them!), and made everyone feel welcome at our reception. I knew they’d be good based on their reviews, but they far exceeded our expectations, both with their warm friendliness and their performance. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you to Dat Band for giving me the wedding of my dreams. You all are a gem to the New Orleans area!

We planned a fairly large destination for the French Quarter. My fiancé and I lived in different states, so there was a move as well as multiple work trips while planning the wedding. For that reason, I would not be able to visit New Orleans until about a month before the wedding. And, the band would need to be booked before that. So, we would have to select a band based on online reviews and videos. Also, this was an extra concern, as the band had to be good! Our friends and family were coming in from multiple states, and most people would not know each other at the wedding. We needed a band who could get the crowd up and moving and having a good time! DAT Band delivered! They were easy to work with before hand. They were on time, and professional. They were also wonderful, and had everyone up and dancing! WE have several high-profit friends and guests, and everyone loved the band! They were so great, that one of our friends asked them on the spot to play for an event she is helping to organize for the spring! Do not hesitate to book them, they will deliver, be easy to work with, and keep your party moving!

I saw Dat Band perform at my cousin's wedding and when we were planning our wedding and Dat Band was available, I knew we were going to book them! Chad was responsive and easy to work with, and the band is reasonable. All our wedding guests said they had such a wonderful time! I remember the band playing "Don't Stop Believing" towards the end of the reception and the lead singer was on the dance floor belting it out with everyone. So fun! If I ever were to throw another big party, I'd have Dat Band there.

Dat Band was awesome! They had fantastic music and were extremely easy to work with. They made the booking process seamless and I appreciated all of their effort and hard work into making our event perfect!

Dat Band was such an amazing vendor to us and for our wedding! Even months after our wedding when we talk about the night to any of our friends or guests, everyone raves about how good Dat Band was and how entertaining they were. Armando and the band were so accommodating to us throughout the whole process. We were able to do most of the planning with them via email and phone calls. Leading up to the wedding, Armando sent over a detailed form for us to fill out that included any specific songs that they needed to play/learn (first dance songs, announcement songs, up to 5 specific songs that you just want them to play throughout the night), when and where to load in/out and set up, etc. A few days prior to the wedding, Armando called us and assured everything was going well and asked if there was anything else we needed. They were even accommodating about changing Jessie's Girl to Jason's Girl for us since Jason is my husband's name! And speaking of music, they play such a variety that it was so awesome! Everything from most recent pop music to early 2000s, 90s, and even 80s music. With the craziness of the wedding day and how many people you have to greet and talk to, it was so refreshing to know that our guests were in good hands with the band and that they were well entertained. It was also nice to not have to worry about anything the day of and as long as you give them all the details and work with them beforehand, they take care of everything! We didn't have to worry about a single thing with them the day of and it was great. You won't regret having Dat Band as your wedding band, I promise you that!

Dat Band was great. Working with them was very seamless. The band knows how to work work a crowd. Very professional. Most importantly, they sounded great!

We had the best time at our wedding reception thanks to Dat Band. All of our guests were dancing and having fun. My husband and I highly recommend booking this band. They are quick to respond to emails and calls and so easy to work with. All of my friends said the best part of the wedding was the band!

Key points: book them because they are amazing, so talented, made everything so fun, and made the experience stress-free! Dat Band was THE BEST! We looked at so many bands and we chose based on reviews, price, and the demo’s. Because we are in Shreveport and they are in NOLA we weren’t able to make it down to hear them live. But the reviews are spot on. Dat Band has the best price for the amazing service you get! Armando had everyone dancing and the music was so good! One of my favorite things was that, in the craziness of the wedding, I hardly had any time to plan the music and I started to stress a little. Armando called me before the wedding and assured me that they had everything taken care of. I didn’t pick any of the reception music other than the first dance songs, which the band was so accommodating for and did an amazing job! Dat Band was outstanding when it came to reading the room and just playing the songs that everyone wanted to hear! That was so great because it took so much stress of off me and my family while we were planning the wedding. I can say, other than the music at one point, the band was one of the few things that I never got stressed about because of all of the reviews raved about how easy they made everyone. They absolutely exceeded my expectations in this area. They made it so easy and they were fun and helpful to work with! I think that Dat Band was definitely worth every single penny that we paid! I believe that the band is what really drives the wedding reception and it was so great and 150% worth it!! I loved having Dat Band at my wedding and it was a reception that I will never forget! If I had to do the whole thing over again, or recommend Dat Band to a friend, I would say DO NOT HESITATE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!! We loved Dat Band so much that my husband and I are writing this review on our honeymoon because we want everyone to know how amazing they are! Thank you Dat Band for helping make it a stress-free day and for really bringing the party! We hope to see y’all again soon!!

I can't even put into words how amazing these guys are! It's been over a month since my wedding and people are still raving about how good the band was and how much fun they had. I always knew I wanted a band over a DJ just because I feel like a band is so much more fun and interactive and that's definitely the vibe I was going for. After reading all of the reviews and doing plenty of research, I decided on DAT BAND and I could not be more pleased. Armando was so easy to work with and answered all of our questions with ease. It makes me want to have another reception just so I can hire them again!!

If I could give Dat Band 100 stars I would! They single-handedly made our wedding the most memorable night of our lives. Our wedding was a week and a half ago and we still have friends texting us asking, "Who was that band???" They truly went above and beyond and kept the party rocking all night long. They are super professional, incredibly talented, and most important--extremely fun!!! They play crowd-pleasing songs with a new twist. I wish I could relive this night over and over again. Thank you Armando, Shauna, and the rest of this incredible band!!!

WE LOVED DAT BAND!!! Literally got SO many compliments about them from our wedding guests — they kept the energy high & were incredibly personable on stage! We even had an impromptu limbo going at some point during the night and they jumped right in! Chad is THE best & so professional—we met with him several times to nail down our vision for the music and he gave us all his insider tips for the perfect night! Book them right now & I promise y’all will be so happy you did!!

Have you booked Dat Band for your wedding yet? Stop thinking about it and do it. Dat Band played our wedding last month and it was nothing short of spectacularly amazing. In talking with multiple friends and family members since the wedding, I can't tell you how often I've heard how great the band was and how awesome the wedding was because of the energy that they brought to the stage. My wife swears that her father has never danced before in his life, but he was out there tearing it up on the dance floor with the 20- and 30-somethings, children, and grandparents alike. Dat Band had everyone out there having a great time. I obviously don't plan on having another wedding in the future, but if I ever host another type of event that needs a band, Dat Band is the first I'd call!

Best. Band. Ever. We planned our wedding and went with this band from a recommendation of a friend. We never heard them before that night and it was the most magical experience. Everyone was telling us how amazing they were the next day. It was such a great feeling. Not only that but they way they involved the guests was great. Still have an amazing feeling about how the end of the night went. So. Perfect.

I cannot speak highly enough about the absolutely amazing experience Dat Band delivered for my wedding reception. My husband and I knew from the start that we were looking for a band that would keep people dancing all night long, and Dat Band delivered and more. The wide range of songs, from rock n roll classics, funk, and current hits, combined with Dat Band's musical skill, made them really stick out to us-- and their reputation for high energy and for drawing people onto the dance floor really sealed the deal for us. Once we got in touch with them, the process for booking was fast and easy. The band manager got in touch with me right away, and was always available to answer questions. We had a few special requests for first dance songs and for our exit song, and even though the band didn't already know them, they were enthusiastic to learn them and did a sensational job. I'll never forget the way my heart raced when I heard the opening notes to my husband's and my special song on that magical night. We found that the band really delivered amazing value for their price-- I cannot stress enough what an amazing job Dat Band did for us. Every single person I've talked to about the wedding has raved about the band, and I have been told, over and over since, that it was the most fun wedding anyone can remember. I would book Dat Band again in a heartbeat-- Their true professionalism and off the walls fantastic showmanship and performance really set the mood for the whole night, and have created memories that are going to last us a lifetime. I've already been encouraging my friends to book them like wildfire.

Dat Band was amazing. Not only did they keep everyone on the dance floor all night long, they interacted with the audience the whole night. It is obvious they love what they do. I also can't thank Armando (lead singer) enough for providing most of the music for the actual wedding ceremony and making sure the officiant had a microphone. This is going above and beyond.

Dat Band was the best addition to our wedding hands down! They did both our second line (which all of our out of town guests just thought was the coolest thing) and our reception. We had both the male and female vocal, which I would highly recommend. Everyone loved how involved they got with the guests, encouraging everyone to have a good time! My two year old niece just keeps repeating "the band the band!" every time anyone reminds her about the wedding. We also had them sing our first dance song, and they did Stevie Nicks and Don Henley proud!! We LOVED having dat band at our wedding and are so happy we went with them!
