Hiring Downbeat Louisiana was truly the best decision we made for our wedding! From the planning stages to the post-reception clean-up, everything was seamless and stress-free. We primarily communicated with Chris, who was professional, responsive, and accommodating to our special requests.
The whole band was so fun and interactive with the crowd, and the guests absolutely loved them!!! Not to mention they are insanely talented! All I wanted at our wedding was for everyone to have fun and DANCE all night long, and Downbeat Louisiana made sure that happened! We would hire them over and over again. Thank you for making our wedding the best night ever!
DON’T HESITATE!
Honestly, when searching for a band, Downbeat wasn’t the cheapest option. I got quotes from a bunch of different bands that had a lower price point, but something about the audio and videos I watched stood out to me. Their social media presence also showed they knew how to keep a party going and had so much energy. Let me tell you, they exceeded every expectation! From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was packed, and the vibe they brought was unmatched. I get stressed out pretty easily, but Chris made me feel at ease throughout the entire process! He was such a pleasure to work with. Our guests are still raving about how incredible the band was. Quality matters, and the talent/performance Downbeat Louisiana put on display was worth every dollar spent!
Downbeat La made my wedding night unforgettable. When searching for a band for my wedding, I knew I wanted a band that would keep the crowd entertained, but I also wanted a band interacted with the crowd. Downbeat La was great to work with during wedding planning & made sure my groom and I agreed on every song they were going to play. My expectations were over exceeded and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding night thanks to them. I would recommend them over and over again to anyone wanting to have a band at their wedding. The amount of compliments and positive feedback I received about the band made me happy to know everyone enjoyed them and had a great time!!! Thank you downbeat for an amazing night Mason & I will never ever forget!!!

Any questions?
I’ll admit, I was initially a bit skeptical about the cost of hiring Downbeat Louisiana for our wedding. We had a strict budget, and I wasn’t sure if splurging on the band was the right decision. But from the moment they started playing at our reception, I knew we had made the best choice.
Downbeat Louisiana brought an energy that completely transformed our wedding day. They had everyone, from our youngest guests to our grandparents on the dance floor all night long. The variety of music they played was incredible, and they knew exactly how to keep the party going.
Chris was so easy to work with from the very start. He listened to our vision, offered great suggestions, and made sure everything was just perfect. By the end of it all, I felt like I had gained a friend, not just hired a band.
Their professionalism was evident in every detail, from their set-up to the seamless flow of their performance. Every guest I’ve spoken to since has raved about the band, and honestly, the memories they helped create are priceless. I’ve already had people ask me for their info so they could book them for their wedding! We cant wait to see them again!
In the end, Downbeat Louisiana was worth every penny and then some. If you’re on the fence like I was, just go for it. You won’t regret it!

Downbeat Louisiana was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. They set the perfect tone for the night, playing a great mix of classics and current music that everyone enjoyed. The band kept the energy up the entire night and the dance floor was packed. Both mine and my wife’s legs were sore from dancing so much
Working with Chris was easy and straightforward. He listened to what we wanted and made it happen, no fuss. He also guided us in helping select other vendors. We are glad we listened to his suggestions cause all of them were top notch.
If you’re looking for a band that knows how to deliver an amazing interactive performance, Downbeat Louisiana is the way to go. Thanks, Chris, for helping make our wedding a night to remember.

Downbeat Louisiana was the heart and soul of our wedding celebration! From the first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the dance floor full. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had.
Working with Chris was a breeze—he made everything so easy and stress-free. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations. The band even learned a couple of our favorite songs just for us, which made the night even more special.
Don’t hesitate to books them. It was the hands down the best decision we made for our reception! If you want a wedding where the music leaves everyone with unforgettable memories, Downbeat Louisiana is your band. Thank you, Chris, and the entire Downbeat Louisiana crew, for making our day magical

Hey Jessica! You and Jacob rock! Thanks so much for the review, and we hope to see you both soon!
THE BEST THERE IS!!! Downbeat Louisiana performed at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and I cannot recommend them enough. Chris was the BEST person to work with. He listens to what you want, don’t want, etc.. and as the bride you want everything to be perfect of course. The dance floor stayed packed the entire night and we have received so many compliments after our wedding about the band being amazing! Wish I could give 1 million stars!!!! THANK YOU Downbeat Louisiana :)

Thanks so much, Lexi! We made sure to put the highlight reel from the wedding on our website, cause yall were SUCH a fun crew! We hope to see y’all soon!
Run don’t walk!!! I highly recommend Downbeat! Chris is amazing, not only his voice but he was great to work with through the entire process. Chris made sure everything was exactly how my daughter and son-in-law wanted it. He makes you feel like the most important client he has and I feel like I’ve gained a friend for life! They may be a newly formed band but don’t let this scare you away. Chris and the other members are extremely talented and experienced! They love to interact with the crowd! Like another reviewer mentioned, the dance floor was packed the entire reception and the guest were not ready for the party to end! You won’t be disappointed!
