    The best wedding band in NOLA

    My wife is a wedding planner and knew they were the right band. When it came time for OUR wedding they were even better than expected. Our guests still talk about this band and how great of a wedding it was largely thanks to them!

    5 stars isn’t enough.

    I promise you will be told by your guests that this is the best wedding band they’ve seen/heard. D’play is just incredible! Johnny and team were very easy to work with, they learned songs for the ceremony/reception/special dances and kept the energy up the entire night.
    Our wedding will be unforgettable all thanks to D’Play.
    Thank you for making our wedding amazing

    D Play - Wedding Band

    We hired D Play for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier! They were amazing and all of our guests kept telling us in the days after that it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. The dance floor was packed the whole time and we owe it all to the band!

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    WOW. Our guests couldn't get enough of this band and neither could we! Music is so important to us and we did a ton of research to pick the perfect band. DPlay exceeded our already high expectations! They are such a great time. Go with DPlay!!

    Incredible & Unforgettable

    To say DPlay is just a band is an understatement. They truly made our night unforgettable! John and his team are professional, friendly, and SO incredibly talented. They aren't just playing songs - they are singing, dancing, interacting with the crowd, and keeping the energy lively and fun all night long. They even played two special request songs for our first dance and father/daughter dance. Having live music made those moments even more special. There was not a single person in their seats when the band was playing! I keep rewatching videos reminiscing on the best night of my life with the best music in NOLA! All of my guests were blown away and had so much fun. 10/10 - gold stars across the board. Book them now! It's been almost 8 months since my wedding and all of my guests still talk about how incredible DPlay was! Our wedding would not have been the same without them.

    Made the entire night!

    Had these guys play on 4/15/23. I cannot express how awesome this band was. We hired them for ceremony music (3 string instruments), second line, happy hour jazz band and reception band.

    Ceremony music- We chose pretty eclectic music for ceremony music and the strings played an incredible cover.

    Second line- absolutely perfect, set up the police escort for us.

    Happy Hour Jazz performer- Honestly we didn't get to see this but we were told it was very nice.

    Reception Band- Absolute highlight of the night! They had sent us a questionnaire months ahead of time for us to fill out and these guys were absolute pros. Once we submitted we weren't quite sure what to think because they didn't have a lot of questions or concerns. Well the worry immediately fell away during the first dance. Once again we requested an eclectic first dance and the band did a better cover than anything we could find on youtube. The band knew how to handle the crowd from the start. They got the guests dancing immediately and their second set which they started after everyone was done eating was incredible and such high energy! It was less of a set and more of a jam session. Every song rolled into the next and the range of music they performed was incredible. Their wide range of singers nailed every song and they even crushed a few of our requested rap songs. I've gotten countless comments since the wedding about how great this band was and I absolutely agree. They absolutely made the entire party. My wife's sister is getting marred next year and she already has this band booked. Cannot go wrong with D Play!

    Best band ever!

    THE BEST BAND I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR! I mean they were incredible! They were so lively, and a hit for all ages! They even sang a song in remembrance of my late mother and sang "Sweet Beverly" instead of "Sweet Caroline." It meant soo much! Also, one of the members even did splits and they did choregraphed dances! They even sent my a long song list and asked what I wanted to play!

    Best wedding band ever!

    BEST WEDDING BAND EVER! We are blown away by how amazing D’Play was for our wedding reception. The most important thing we wanted for our wedding was a packed dance floor and a fun band, and that is exactly what we got with this band! Planning a wedding during COVID and being unable to see the band live beforehand was something we were nervous about, but D’Play truly outplayed our expectations! Everyone you talked to at our wedding could not stop talking about the band and how amazing and high energy they were! We loved how engaging they were with the crowd and kept the party upbeat all night long! No question about it, this is the band you need to book for your wedding or private event, they will not disappoint!!!!

    It worked out perfectly!

    Our wedding was rescheduled 4 times bc of covid. Our original band could not accomidate the 4th date so we redirected to D-Play and boy was that a blessing in disguise bc they rocked it! Our guests were on the dance floor all night having a blast bc they were so captivating! Everyone raved about how badass the band was! They have their own special flair! Dancing while singing and getting down with the guests. The sound was on point with the lights. It was like a concert! They were terrific! I'd def hire them again for any occasion! Thanks to our wedding planner Maria Maginnis with In Nola Events & Design, your recommendation was spot on for what we wanted for our entertainment! Thank you so much!!!

    Wedding Success!

    D Play was AWESOME! From the beginning, John made the process very easy. Due to Covid, we actually had to re-schedule to a third date. Finally, DPlay got to perform and far exceeded our expectations. Our guest were on the dance floor the entire night! Even those not dancing, enjoyed the performance! So much energy and fun! Wide variety of songs. All singers were top notch. Highly recommend!

    Great Wedding Band!

    D'Play was AWESOME!!!! I have so many good things to say about the band, D'Play. First of all, they are a fun, party band who kept our guests on the dance floor the whole time! My emails were handled quickly and professionally. They went the extra mile to customize our playlist for the wedding. We added ceremony music, just a few weeks before the wedding and I was nervous about that, but they really did an amazing job, providing just the right sound and vibe for the wedding. I highly recommend working with this group! So many of our guests commented on how good the band was. Thanks again!

    Best Wedding Band EVER

    "Best Wedding Band EVER" was the resounding praise that all of our guests gave us throughout our wedding and in the days following. I am still on Cloud 9 from how much fun I had dancing with my now husband and all of our friends and family. There wasn't a single moment where our dance floor was not filled. D'Play can truly read the crowd and keep the energy going. They had perfect timing through the wedding with UNBELIEVABLE talent. We booked D'Play for our second line, reception band and after party DJ... and you should too.

    Amazing band!

    We chose D Play for our wedding on 4/20/19 at Felicity Street Church, and we were blown away by this band! From the first song, our guests were on the dance floor! Overall, John the manager was very easy to work leading up to our wedding. We truly loved this band and our guests raved about them. We had guests from all over the U.S. tell us about how this was the best wedding band they had ever experienced (and we agreed). Thank you D Play for making our day so special and memorable. YALL ROCK!!

    Savior during COVID-19

    John has been an absolute blessing to work with! We were so excited to book DPlay for our wedding, but COVID-19 had other plans. John was a saving grace in rescheduling with us quickly while all other details were up in the air. He responded to my panicked emails ASAP and offered so much advice in navigating this craziness. DPlay was one of our most important vendors, and to the extent that it’s even possible now, we appreciate John all the more.

    Daughter's Wedding

    "The Best Band". We loved DPlay. The guests at our daughter's wedding are still raving about how great they were. Many have commented that this was the best wedding they had ever attended. The musicians and singers are incredibly talented. Their appearance is visually stunning. They can play any genre and kept the dance floor full all night. We could not be more pleased with our decision to hire DPlay. We highly recommend this "Best Band" for any function.

    D-Play Band

    This band was AMAZING! They truly executed the songs and genres we requested. No one left the dance floor the entire reception! They were so engaging, energetic, and talented! Every person in the band was into every song and truly put on their BEST performance! To this day, our guests still ask us, “What was the name of your band? They were awesome!”

    The most amazing band we could have ever hoped for!

    D Play was absolutely amazing!!! They had such high energy all night, and truly kept EVERYONE out on the dance floor throughout the entire evening. You hardly ever saw any of our guests sitting down, and that's exactly how we dreamed of it being at our wedding. We are still getting compliments from friends and guests saying how this was the greatest band they have ever seen! We didn't have any specific requests, but the set list they came up with on their own was fantastic. It was the perfect mix of upbeat oldies and all the newest hits you hear on the radio! You will not be disappointed if you book D Play for your wedding, I can guarantee it! Thank you so much for exceeding all of our expectations, you are the BEST!
