Tidal Wave brought the party!! I am so glad I chose Tidal Wave for my Second Line at my wedding. They handled all the permitting, police escort and route planning so I didn't have to lift a finger. When I called to confirm, they assured me I didn't have to worry about a thing and THEY MEANT IT. I trusted them completely and they were absolutely top notch. Showed up early, brought the house down and then out to the streets we went. Everyone was dancing and singing along to the songs they played as we partied through the quarter. Safe to say Tidal Wave made my dreams come true. I am so grateful to them and would recommend, nay INSIST, that anyone looking to hire a brass band should look no further.
We recommend Tidal Wave Brass Band for anyone looking to infuse their event with authentic New Orleans flair and infectious energy. Their performance added a dynamic and culturally rich element to our wedding, leaving a lasting impression on us .🥂🎺🎶
I highly recommend Tidal Wave Brass Band. John set up a call a week before our wedding to introduce himself, go over any questions/concerns and confirm whether or not we had any specific requests. I loved the personal touch, most vendors communicate via email. Our guests are still talking about the band, they created lifelong memories.
Their musical performance made of our little celebration such a happy and memorable occasion!!!
We absolutely loved the Tidal Wave Brass Band as our way to end our New Orleans wedding. We had mostly out-of-town guests since our family is so spread out, so it was a great way to show them one final New Orleans tradition to add to our New Orleans wedding flair. Our guests had such a great time, and all complimented the band for an excellent and engaging performance. HIRE TIDAL WAVE for all your brass band needs!!!
The Tidal Wave Brass Band was amazing at my Daughter's wedding. They looked awesome in there matching uniforms and hats, were on time and the music was the best! They played more modern songs in the second line style. The guest never experienced the style of music. Although we still love the original second line songs, these selections were more modern with the same style. My new son in law and his family who are not from NOLA were so surprised and Enjoyed every bit of the band. We had two Zulu tramps that hyped the crowd. I believe the Band can assist with this but I had already booked the Zulu tramps.
Booking was professional and easy. A small deposit was due at the time of booking and I requested the modern songs. Again Every guest is still talking about the Ending of the wedding. The Bride and Groom were Super happy with my Band choice. The Tidal Wave Brass Band is my new Choice forever! Great Job Guys! Thank you

Response from Tidal Wave Brass Band:
Glad to make everything smooth, easy, and fun!
Tidal wave led our wedding second line in the French quarter. They organized the whole thing perfectly (got the permit with the city, created the route), sounded awesome, and the grand marshall hyped the crowd up. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the experience. Thanks tidal wave!
We hired the Tidal Wave Brass Band for our wedding second line and it was a truly magical experience. The band showed up on time and in good spirits, despite the terrible heat. A few of our guests are musicians and were blown away by how tight the band sounded; their passion and love for music really shines through. They are absolute professionals. John was communicative throughout the process, responding quickly to all emails, and he took care of the entire permitting and routing so that the parade was absolutely seamless. I'm so glad I hired Tidal Wave, and couldn't recommend them more.
Response from Tidal Wave Brass Band:
First off thank you for hiring us. We are so glad you all enjoyed yourselves. That means that the magical experience promise has been fulfilled! But, we truly loved you guys. From the fact that you met at a mixer for a college that neither one of you attended, to the many adventures that led you to us thereafter. We hope you live in blissful matrimony, and we were yet another addition to your love story! 🌊
The band was better than I expected. They were better than any of the bands I saw when I came here before. They played the entire time, and kept us thoroughly entertained.
I am far from great at writing these, so if I don’t give them there just due, just chalk it up to that. These guys were magnificent. I don’t know how I lived before without ever doing that. I hope I get to experience another one in my lifetime.
This band constantly stated throughout the hiring process, that this would be a magical experience. I have concluded that they have over-delivered on the promise. The line of communication was always open, and their leader John really took care of us. The music was absolutely phenomenal and we sung the entire time through the streets of New Orleans. I’ll have stories to tell my family and friends for years back in Baltimore. Thanks Tidal Wave!
