Wedding band
posted by Hester on 02/01/2020
Stormy band recently played for my wedding of about 150 guests. They rocked the house, keeping both the older and younger generations entertained. Got many compliments from the guests on how great the band was.

best wedding band in Baton Rouge. Hands down.
William C, Married on 01/25/2020
Stormy was exceptional! They played hit after hit, adjusted their sets to compliment our tastes in music, and even shortened the Father-Bride dance to accommodate the bride’s father’s recent knee surgery. I could not have asked for a better band. As far as professionalism is concerned, dealing with Michael Noto was an absolute pleasure. Timely responses, easy to talk to, fairly priced. We literally got bang for our buck with these guys. They wowed me at my sister’s wedding and the performance at my wedding had every single guest raving about how good the band was. Thank you Stormy for bringing the house down 01/25/20 in Baton Rouge, LA.

Stormy Band for our wedding and rehearsal dinner
posted by Sandy L
For my son's wedding, Stormy played at both the wedding (full band) and the rehearsal dinner will a 4-piece band. Both events were terrific. So many guests commented on how unique it was to have music at the rehearsal dinner. It was fantastic. The wedding reception was so awesome. We danced and had a great time. My son had several of his Marine Corps buddies attending and the band even knew the US Marine Corp Song and played it in honor of the guys! What a night!! Thank You Stormy!!!

Stormy Band was terrific, they played to the audience, honored requests and were very personable. I've hired quite a few bands over 30 years and rate them one of the best,

If you’re looking for a band...

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!

These guys are AWESOME! They have really great energy, and really involve your guests and
make it a really fun time. They were able to cover our requested first dance song, and they have a
really nice roster of songs for the reception. Stuff everyone can enjoy and get up and dance to! Also,
THE HORNS. I am a huge fan of horns and they had some awesome horn sections in a couple of
songs, which really made my night. 10/10 would recommend…

Stormy gave my wife and I the perfect night dancing with friends and family! As a former gigging
musician, it was impressive to see how professional, practiced and engaging they were as musicians
and friends from the opening contract until the last song! If you’re wanting a happy / fun night,
Stormy is your band. Thanks for the memories!

Stormy was absolutely unbelievable! They were so easy to work with and professional. They played
the perfect mix of music that got everyone dancing during a day wedding. They sounded perfect and
did a great job interacting with the crowd. I can't say enough nice things about them! Highly
recommend using them all any sort of event!

Stormy played for our wedding this past December and they were fantastic!! Everyone
was dancing and having a great time & their vocals sounded great too. They were very
interactive with playing a few instruments on the dance floor for a couple of songs too,
which was super fun. They have an extensive set list of all genres and they even
learned a new song for us for our last dance! We had a blast and I'm so glad we booked
Stormy!

Stormy was great! They are very easy to deal with and very professional in every way.
They accommodated everything we requested, were on time for the event, and our
venue loved working with them. And their music was AWESOME! We recommend them
to anyone looking for a band.

We cannot begin to thank you for the entertainment you provided at our daughter’s wedding on 6/12/11 at Rosy’s Jazz Hall. Being from New York and trying to plan a wedding in New Orleans was a project. We had to go strictly on recommendations and hoped that the quality of the music selections you have on your website was your true sound as we were not able to see you at any time before the wedding date. Your band is possibly the best live band that we have ever had the pleasure of dancing to and we totally enjoyed the wedding. You are all terrific and all we hear are Stormy compliments from all our family and friends. I can tell you this, if we had to do it all again, Stormy would be our band of choice. And by the way, many of the NY/NJ guests at the reception would like to fly the band to NY to perform at their future parties.

We hired Stormy for our wedding reception at the House of Blues in New Orleans. These guys are AWESOME. The dance floor was packed and in fact, we had to ask the HOB people to move tables out of the way because the dance floor was NOT BIG ENOUGH for everyone who wanted to dance to these guys. Almost every person told us it was the best reception and wedding they had ever been to. Hire these guys for your event! You could tell they love what they do and that got everyone else going. Stormy rocks!!

Just saw you at Isle of Capri. Loved the sound. My hubby was gigging from the age of 14 in Lafayette then went in the Navy band... Played sax on many recordings and after Navy backed up many top soul groups as a house band.. Ike and Tina...Wilson Picket...Otis Redding.. many others.. Was sent airplane tickets to join Chicago but I talked him into staying with me lol... I know...but the road was no family life...Anyway..I miss the horns sooooo much and thoroughly enjoyed watching you all from the balcony ...I could not keep still...Enjoyed the heck out of watching the old dude on the dance floor too.. Great to see the old man was not the least bit embarrassed to get his groove on lol...Hubby will be 70 in July..lol ...does that qualify him to sit in sometime with a bari sax? Nah for real...his chops are gone he says...keep trying to get him to build those muscles bk up again because I miss it so much.. Keep on keeping on....Us old farts are digging it..

Stormy was amazing for our wedding! They were awesome and people were on the dance floor the ENTIRE TIME! As the bride, I had an absolute blast and I don't think I left the dance floor all night! If I could do it all over again (with any amount of $$$) I would definitely choose Stormy! I love that they played a range from oldies, to 80s, to songs like "Forget You" by CLo. Thank you Stormy

Y'all played at our wedding in late October and all of the guest said the band was great! Y'all put a great tempo to the reception and played all the music our guest wanted to hear. One of the best parts about yall was yall were not too loud for the location. We really enjoyed the music at out reception, thank you for doing such a great job!

Stormy was actually the first vendor we booked for our wedding & I'm so glad we did! We heard you guys at our friend's wedding in New Orleans & knew we wanted you for ours even though we didn't "officially" get engaged until a month later.I love that Stormy can take virtually any song and make it your own. You really helped to make the reception a blast! I can't tell you how many compliments we received on our great choice of bands. You guys are wonderful and we're so glad you were a part of our big day. Thank you!!!

HEY!! This is Court Jayne from the Denver Diner! These guys came in on my grave yard shift around 2 am in the morning, perfect timing cause my night had started to drag... Southerner's I'd expect from their "twang-ish" talk, which I jokingly tried impressions of!! The best part of my night and by far the hardest lughs just serving this down to earth group! Thanks for the laugh guys, rock on!

We had Stormy perform at our wedding reception and they were wonderful. My husband and I booked them without hearing them live first, but they delivered on every expectation. They helped make the reception flow with announcements for cake cutting and bouquet toss and kept the dance floor packed! Our guests loved them. The horns make them extra special for certain songs. I would recommend them for any celebration, especially weddings. Thank you Michael Noto and Stormy!

My wife and I had our wedding reception at The Ritz in NOLA and the in-house planner gave us a list of bands that had played there before. Thankfully Stormy was on that list! I looked like a star for having chosen such a great band and I received numerous comments throughout the night about how great the band was. We booked the band for 4 hours and the time flew by. Thanks Stormy!

Hey there, we attended the Robbins/McGee wedding in Carrollton, Alabama last week and cannot express how much we enjoyed your music. You "blew us away". You played such a great variety of tunes. If I had only known in advance how fantastic your group was, I would have come prepared with a request list!!! We danced the whole night away!! YOU GUYS ARE FANTASTIC!! Good Luck :)

The band was absolutely great. You played for our daughter's wedding. We had so many people to ask who the band was and that for they wanted you for their next engagement. It was extremely cold, but you just kept playing anyway, and only took two short breaks. You made our daughter's night so special. Thank you so much.
