About this vendor
Good karma is a packed dance floor, great music, and a party people don’t want to leave. That’s what we bring to weddings and events. Karma is a New Orleans party band specializing in live wedding music, corporate events, private parties, Mardi Gras balls, fundraisers, and celebrations throughout Louisiana and beyond. Since 2009, we’ve built our reputation around one simple idea: the band should be part of the party, not just the soundtrack.
But do you want a DJ or a band? If all you want is someone to play some music, either will do. But if you want a performance, you want Karma. Karma’s signature DJ arrangements are what you get when a live band and a DJ have a baby. It’s the best of both worlds, combining the energy and personality of a live band with the nonstop flow of a DJ. Add in singers who interact with the crowd, musicians who aren’t afraid to leave the stage, and a band that feeds off the energy in the room, and you get an experience that’s as much about being part of the show as it is about hearing the music.
We play all the timeless classics of yesterday, but we’re not afraid of playing today’s hits. Our live music spans decades and genres, giving us a setlist that feels current without leaving the songs everyone knows behind. Whether we’re playing a New Orleans wedding reception or an event anywhere in Louisiana and beyond, our goal is simple: keep the music moving, keep the dance floor full, and make sure everyone has a damn good time.

5-star service is an understatement. KARMA truly does cultivate the idea of what the best looks like. They really can take your vision and run with it. From non-profit events to hi...
gh-dollar performances, KARMA never disappoints, and it would be a mistake if you chose any other band over them
If you are looking for the perfect wedding band in New Orleans, look no further than Karma. They were one of the best decisions we made for my daughter’s wedding at the NOPSI Hotel...
.
I had known about Karma for years from seeing them perform at different events, and I always knew they were a band we would consider when the right occasion came along. One of the singers, Jordan, also cuts my hair and I have been knowing her personally for a few years.
I had already seen firsthand the kind of personality and energy this group brings.
When my daughter and I talked with Lupe, we immediately knew Karma was the right choice.
Lupe did an incredible job helping my daughter and her fiancé bring their vision to life. He took the time to understand what they wanted and helped create a night that was personal, exciting, and unforgettable.
From the first dance, to the incredible moment when they played “Fireball” and me and the groom’s father led everyone on the dance floor, while passing out Fireball shots to everyone, to the private final dance for the bride and groom, Lupe and the entire Karma band helped make every moment special.
The energy they brought was unbelievable. Karma had the dance floor packed the entire night. They had the bride and groom up on stage dancing, involved the crowd, and created an atmosphere where everyone felt like they were part of the celebration. They kept the party going nonstop.
Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how amazing the band was. Karma didn’t just perform at our daughter’s wedding — they became part of the memory.
Thank you, Lupe and the entire Karma family, for making our daughter’s wedding a night we will never forget. Your talent, professionalism, and ability to connect with people are truly what set you apart.
We couldn’t recommend Karma more highly!
If you’re looking for the perfect wedding band in New Orleans, stop searching. Our wedding at Hotel Peter & Paul would not have been the same without this incredible team.
From...
our very first conversation, Lupe made us feel like our wedding wasn’t just another event on the calendar. He took the time to truly get to know us as a couple, understand the atmosphere we wanted, and helped curate a playlist that perfectly reflected our personalities. Throughout the entire planning process, Lupe was incredibly responsive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable.
One of the most meaningful moments of our wedding was our first dance. We asked the band to learn a version of our song that they had never performed before, and they not only learned it beautifully but even sent us a preview ahead of time so we could practice our dance. That level of care and attention meant so much to us.
Our venue, Hotel Peter & Paul, was also a new venue for the band. Instead of leaving anything to chance, Lupe went above and beyond by coordinating with the venue beforehand to make sure they had the proper power, equipment, and connections so everything would run seamlessly. That proactive approach gave us so much confidence leading up to the wedding.
On the wedding day, the band absolutely exceeded every expectation. They kept the dance floor packed all night, read the room perfectly, and delivered exactly what they had promised. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the music was and how much fun they had.
The best testament I can give is that we loved them so much that when my sister got married a year later, she hired the same wedding band. Even though many of our guests attended both weddings, Lupe and the band created a completely unique experience for her. It wasn’t the same setlist or the same performance—they took the time to understand my sister and her husband just as they had done for us. The dance floor was packed all night at both weddings, yet each celebration felt personal and completely its own. That speaks volumes about their talent and dedication.
The band itself was phenomenal, but what will stay with me long after our wedding is Lupe. His professionalism, kindness, and genuine investment in making our wedding special left a lasting impression. He cared about us, celebrated with us, and made us feel like our day truly mattered to him.
I cannot recommend Lupe and this amazing wedding band highly enough. They were one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding, and I would choose them again without hesitation.
My husband and I hired Karma to play at our wedding reception and I cannot even begin to explain how amazing they were. While working with Lupe, all I requested was for my guests t...

Thanks again guys for an amazing wedding night!
My favorite part of my wedding was being on the dance floor! Karma was incredible! They got people up and dancing and knew exactly how to make it a great party. I had many compl...
iments on how great they were and even had people ask for their info for their children's wedding. Dave was great to work with! I can't say enough about them! They knew all genres of songs and were able to get everyone up to dance! They made my wedding fun!
Karma is a great wedding band! My guests will not stop telling me how amazing this band sounds and how much fun they had. They had everyone on the dance floor!
I can't say enough great things about this band. They are relatively new, but all members have been in other bands, so I think they are very reasonably priced. They are also amazin...
g! Not only did they give us tons of help with our first dance songs, they also put together a special father-daughter song with 2 of our favorites, and learned our first dance song. That was just a few weeks before the big day, too. In addition, they customized our play list, spent a ton of time with me to make sure we were happy, and the keyboard player helped us out last minute with our ceremony music. I cannot recommend them enough - our guests kept asking who they were and we have heard so many comments since the wedding about how great they are. Unlike many of the popular local wedding bands, they also can sing current music in addition to old favorites. They have both a male and female singer as well (meaning you don't have to pay extra to get both like you do with other bands). Definitely check them out!
