Parlour Noir

I can't say enough wonderful things abour Parlour Noir. We had our wedding at a local distillery, and we wanted the music to match the intimate vibe. Parlour Noir was a crucial part of how special the day was. Live music alone is amazing, but the swing/jazz genre was so much different than many other weddings I've been to. They kept it fun and the dance floor full for the full evening, and even walked through the crowd playing their instruments, which was such a blast. They are all incredible musicians, I can still hardly believe I was lucky enough to have them play at my wedding. Not only was the music fantastic, but they were all so lovely to work with, from start to finish. I communicated with Adam, who is such a doll. He is incredibly responsive, and flexible. I had to move up my wedding date by several months due to a family illness, and he was incredibly kind and accommodating. I think it's really neat that you can customize the band, from 3-10 pieces, and they each play multiple different instruments. I had a great phone call with Adam to talk through the process, what kind of sound we wanted, and he suggested which instruments to go with. They showed up early, and were very flexible in switching spots with the ceremony DJ, which made the party seamless. So many guests commented that the music was incredible, and made the evening truly special. Do not hesitate to hire Parlour Noir for your event, they will make it a night to remember!

Booking Parlour Noir was the moment for us that felt like we really had a wedding. The band was communicative through email and phone calls from the first point of contact. These conversations gave us so much peace of mind amongst the other wedding stresses and variables. The only thing for us to do was to practice our swing dancing steps in anticipation of our big day. All of the members of Parlour Noir are true musicians - “players.” Improvisation and dynamics are often overlooked in the role of a band at a wedding and the players in Parlour Noir have these vital skills in spades. Parlour Noir’s jazz sensibilities saw the band softening their volume during tender moments and turning up the energy when the dance floor needed a boost across multiple sets throughout our reception. They brought their unique style to each table by moving throughout the venue with their instruments, and even used one of their dance sets to show our guests some swing dancing moves! We asked them to stay for a drink at our after party and by the time the night was over, they all felt like friends. There is no doubt that Parlour Noir was a hit with our guests and a highlight of the reception. But what we find most special about having had Parlour Noir at our wedding is the fact that we can hear them again and again long after we said “I do.” Whenever we see they are playing a gig, we go out of our way to see them just so we can relive the magic they brought to our wedding!

Band was Dynamite!!! My (now) wife & I hired the band for our wedding this past weekend (3 piece setup) and the band was Amazing! We had them play the ceremony & cocktail hour, which everyone raved about! Each of the band members truly put on a show that kept the guests engaged, dancing, and simply soaking in the ambiance. Finally, they were easy to communicate with, and connected with the coordinator relieving us of a little less stress. Overall Dynamite experience!!!

A truly amazing, fun, and talented group of gentlemen who play wonderful music! We would book the band again in a heartbeat. They're so easy to work with and definitely love what they do! We had an awesome time having them play our wedding and really enjoyed how they got involved with the guests. A few family members got a chance to talk with them and we got nothing but complements from our guests. They're prompt, courteous, and super helpful with communication, and we also had a blast taking a swing dancing lesson with Paul a few weeks before the wedding. We ended up having a few last minute changes and requests that they were able to accommodate for us which we really appreciated. Couldn't have asked for a better group to play our wedding. Parlour Noir made the night so much more special as their music filled the space. Their play style fit our vision perfectly. We really can't say enough about them. Highly recommend this group!
