Hiring Rouge Krewe Party Band was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They quite literally made our wedding! I always envisioned a fun, high-energy, party...
-like atmosphere, but since we had a destination wedding with only about 60 guests, I initially questioned whether we really needed an 11-piece band. The answer? ABSOLUTELY, YES!
They performed with the same energy, passion, and talent as if they were playing for 300+ guests and it created such an intimate, unforgettable experience for everyone. They were phenomenal! So engaging and interactive with the crowd, they didn’t just stay on stage but moved throughout the venue, performing in different spots and keeping everyone entertained. At one point, the guitarist even played a solo from the balcony, which was completely unexpected and such a highlight!
Everyone (and I mean everyone) told us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, even the waitstaff! One of the servers mentioned he’d worked at our venue for years and said ours was the most fun wedding he’d ever witnessed, and that even he was having fun while working. My father-in-law barely left the dance floor all night!
If you’re planning a wedding and wondering where to save, do not cut corners on the music. Guests remember two things most: the food and the entertainment. Rouge Krewe Party Band is worth every penny and then some. They were truly the best splurge we could have made! They honored all of our song requests, followed our do-not-play list, and kept the energy high from start to finish.
Even weeks later, our friends are still talking about the band, and some have already said they can’t wait for our 10-year anniversary party if Rouge Krewe performs again!

d and make every wedding feel unique. I’ve seen them at two weddings, one of them my own, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are easy to work with, communicative, and even learned a song for my wedding, which is the best! Also, people were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! I don’t have enough things to rave about them for! Book Rouge Krewe! I promise you WILL NOT regret it!
P.S. my sisters are gonna plan their weddings around THEM! If that’s not persuasive enough, idk what is!

My parents, and other guests from our wedding, continue to go see them do local performances around New Orleans and Lafayette due to how entertaining they are. I think it's safe to say they will be our family band at all upcoming functions from here on out! Thank you RK for the most amazing time at our wedding!

rom the fantastic vocals and instruments--the lighting, second line, and monogram were perfect all bundled into one package! The Rouge Krewe brought the party from the second the reception started. They took one VERY brief break, and they had ALL of our guests rocking out for 4 straight hours. I cannot rave and praise this band enough. THEY MADE OUR WEDDING RECEPTION. 100/100 Recommend this incredible band!!! I cannot imagine booking a different band. They checked every single box for us. We felt like we were at a concert all night long! Thank you all for an unforgettable night!

the time to really get to know Zach and I and our wishes for the big day. Then he executed it perfectly. They even took the time to sing happy birthday to my niece and brought her on stage. They matched the energy of our crowd and EVERYONE talked about how great they were. I even had somebody that wasn’t able to attend our wedding text me and ask me who our band was. I highly highly recommend Jared and The Rouge Krewe. Thanks for making our big day so fun.

e to the wedding date since we were waiting for the most up to date Covid restrictions. We ended up going with the DJ and they did a great job. It was turnkey, they helped MC the event, played from a playlist we built, and overall helped make the reception a lot of fun. I highly recommend them for anyone's wedding!
10000% recommend for any wedding reception! They were SO much fun! I’m so glad I had them at our reception. Very easy to work with also! Thank y’all again😊

red were so easy to work with and so helpful in answering all of our questions. They took the stress out of everything and worked so well with our vendors to get the information that they needed regarding our venue set up etc. Their communication was excellent and the band members are the nicest people around. My Dad is a huge Rush fan and they learned and played a Rush song just for him and it was fantastic! They kept everyone dancing all night and they put on a SHOW. We had an absolute blast with them! Book them if you want an incredible experience that you won't ever forget. Forever a Rouge Krewe Fan!

The "PERFORMANCE" was simply "AMAZING" Of all the MANY weddings & events I have attended Rouge Krewe was hands down with out a doubt the BEST EVER!

your event. They sure know how to entertain and we loved how they interacted with our guests and came on the dance floor with us. Their excitement and love for what they do is contagious and shows when they perform. They were so easy to communicate with, quick to respond, patient, cared about our preference on vibe/music we wanted, and know how to throw down. Our wedding reception wouldn’t have been the same without them. So, book them...you won’t regret it!
This band is a must have for any event! I have seen them perform multiple times, at a variety of venues. Each show is better than the last. From 80’s rock to current pop, this band...
