Stormy played for my daughter's wedding in New Orleans. Guests have contacted me saying that was the best wedding they have ever been to because of the band. They played music that kept all ages entertained. I would recommend them to anyone looking to hire a band for a wedding. Sorry for the late review, I was had cancer right after the wedding. Your band made this a day to remember for sure!

Whatever you do , don't hesitate to book this band! We were so lucky to find them. Mike was so easy to work with. Responded to emails, texts, etc. almost immediately. From the minute we booked them, everything went seamlessly. The band played every request we submitted during the reception . They had our whole group entertained, from ages 4 to 84. They played songs from all generations and kept the dance floor filled. We hope to use them again. Highly recommend Stormy!!!!!

Planning our wedding during COVID was extremely difficult but Stormy made our band decision easy! Michael was our band contact and he was readily available to answer any questions, any time I had them! I had ZERO issues with the band on wedding day. They asked for a list of songs/bands that we preferred AND a list of songs/artists we didn’t want played to get a feel for what style music we desired. They were on point with the music they played! Had a well rounded list of songs that had everyone from youngest to oldest dancing! We had a classic/Victorian style wedding and the live instruments added to that feel. Our guests were praising our band selection long after the wedding was over and we absolutely would recommend them to anyone getting married who wants the big-band feel!

Stormy was very professional and so extremely accommodating to all of our needs and requests. They were very easy to work with and have a large repertoire of music. They responded quickly to any communication sent, were set up and ready to entertain when our guests arrived. They’re a great value and a great group - our guests danced non-stop thanks to Stormy! We were even blessed with a few of our family members joining the band for some songs ! I highly recommend Stormy the Band to all out there.

If you’re looking for a band for your wedding that guests will still be talking about months after your wedding....look no further!!!! Choosing Stormy was the best decision we ever made! Nobody wanted them to stop playing, and they appeared to have had just as much fun playing the most awesome songs ever as the guests enjoyed listening and dancing to. They were extremely courteous and professional, and music was geared to folks of all ages. I HIGHLY recommend these awesome group of men!

When we first started talking about wedding bands, Stormy was at the top of my list. I saw them at a wedding about 8 years ago and they were awesome. The moment we walked in the door, my husband looked at me and said "They sound GOOD"! I loved the way they interacted with the guests by coming out and singing and playing their instruments. They truly made my wedding reception one to remember and I cannot thank them enough for that!

Stormy was beyond amazing and exceeded my expectations as a band. Not only were they affordable, but the quality of the band members far surpasses any price I could have paid. They kept everyone involved, played music from multiple eras, and learned my wedding song in less than a week. They come highly recommended!!!! Thank you for making my wedding day special!!!

I knew when I got engaged that I wanted Stormy to play my wedding, and it was definitely an awesome decision. The crowd was entertained from the time they walked in the door until we made our way out at the end of the night. So many of my guests just kept coming up to me during and the day after the wedding and saying how much they loved the band. I wanted my guests dancing and having a good time, and Stormy made sure to work the crowd and provide the most fun atmosphere. They were great to work with from the time I contacted them. I filled out my brides sheet with my requests and they 100% complied! I can't say enough wonderful things about Stormy!!

Stormy just played for our 3rd and last child's wedding reception! They are excellent and would highly recommend them. They keep everyone dancing and also draw guests into all the special events of the evening. They keep everything flowing and are very professional and dependable, but most of all FUN!

Stormy played for my wedding on May 30, 2014. They completely met and then exceeded my expectations! Extremely professional, plays a huge range of music, and all of the members sing! Some of the members even came on the dance floor and played in the crowd. I still get compliments on Stormy from wedding guests. I 110% recommend!! You will not be disappointed!

I just wanted to thank you again for another great performance! We got so many compliments on your band and you wouldn't believe the number of people that told us it was the best wedding reception that they had been to! My daughter and her fiancé were not sure that they were going to trust a 60 year old woman's recommendation on a band, but I assured them that they would not be disappointed! And they both told me during the wedding that they were so glad that they listened to me and now understood why I wanted you guys. The parents, family, and friends of the groom were also head over heels with your performance. I was so thankful you were available on that day!
You were also so easy to work with before hand which was really helpful since it was our first wedding and we really had no idea what was involved in booking a band.
Thank you for being a part of our SPECIAL night!!

The band was great! Their music was upbeat and fun. Michael Noto (band leader) was easy to talk to and very helpful with prior wedding reception details. The venue was outdoors and their was a mixed crowd of all ages, (young and old) who thoroughly enjoyed their performance. I would recommend the band Stormy at any wedding reception.

I heard this band with my parents at Superior Grill, and I knew I wanted them to play at my wedding. They sounded great and the dance floor stayed busy at my wedding with a great mix of music. It was great to have a wonderful and talented live band play at my wedding, instead of a DJ just cranking out tunes over speakers. They also learned a new song for our first dance, which I appreciated beyond words. They also sent us a delicious batch of cookies as a thank you gift, which made our day! Mike Noto, keep your band playing and spreading the music all over Baton Rouge!

Great band - keeps everyone on dance floor throughout the night. Learned a Bob Marley song for us for our first dance. Many guests commented how awesome they were. They also played keyboard for our cocktail hour and brought a microphone and speakers for us to use for the ceremony.

We actually had Partly Couldy as our band which is just a couple members from Stormy. They were still great. I am pretty sure every single guest danced at least one dance, and our dance floor was never empty. They were energetic and fun and wonderful musicians. The songs they played everyone loved and danced to and knew. There was music for all ages and people. If you want a fun band that will get everyone dancing they are perfect.
