The Bon Temps group played at our corporate function in Tarrytown. It was a wonderful evening, and by the time dinner was done the whole group of 80 were on their feet and in a long congo line around the room - the band too! Our evening ended on a bang! Thanks to Earl and his team, we will book them again.

Festival•Reviewed on August 13, 2018•From Whitehouse Station, NJ
The Bon Temps Brass Band was very responsive when planning for the event, and extremely easy to work with on site. Despite our outdoor event being incredibly hot and sunny, with the band was walking around the festival grounds, the entire group was incredibly pleasant and a pleasure to work with. They sounded great and added the bit of energy and fun to the event that we were looking for.

Could not have asked for more. My only regret is that we didn't have them play longer! Even with a snafu around parking and access, the guys were ready and awesome. I would do it again!

Bon Temps were amazing! They went above and beyond to make our party a great time for everyone. They're fun, easy to work with, show up when and where they're supposed to, and just play great music. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 23, 2017•From Philadelphia, PA
I can't imagine a better experience than I had working with Earl and the rest of the Bon Temps Brass Band. Me and a number of my friends chipped in to hire the Bon Temps Brass Band for a friend's wedding. Earl and the rest of the band were super communicative and accommodating in the period leading up to the wedding, which was great. On the day of the ceremony, they were amazing! They sounded great and added a ton to the festivities. Numerous people came up to me on the day of the wedding and told me how amazing the band was and how much they had added to the ceremony. If I have another occasion that calls for a brass band, I won't hesitate to hire these guys again!

Funeral•Reviewed on June 23, 2017•From Williston Park, NY
I wish I could rate them even higher. Working with the Bon Temps Brass Band was amazing. They were unbelievably accommodating, even when we changed certain aspects of the booking. Dealing with Earl was very easy, and he had so much experience and knowledge. I was so worried we wouldn't be able to book a band for my father's memorial service on such short notice, but it was so easy and convenient, and I couldn't have imagined a better tribute than the one they helped us provide. Thank you so much!

Earl contacted me immediately to discuss my requirements and from the very start, was incredibly accommodating, enthusiastic, professional and passionate about making my event a success! I organized a demonstration march across the Brooklyn bridge and I was desperate for the mood of the day to stay positive, celebratory and fun. When the weather started to look cold and rainy, I worried the crowd would duck out early, so the "tone" and "energy" of the march was critical. The Bon Temps delivered in full- keeping everyone's spirits high and making sure the parade route was clear to all. I can never thank these guys enough or recommend them highly enough!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 15, 2016•From Roxbury, NY
LOVE this band! We met Earl a year before our wedding and after much research and outrageous quotes from mediocre bands, we found Bon Temps Brass Band. My now husband and I had a very specific idea of what we wanted our wedding band to be and that was a - New Orleans Brass Band. He not only gave us that and more on our wedding day, but Earl is genuinely just a great person and his ability to understand what we wanted a year prior and making it come to life this month to was tremendous. This isn't a band pretending to bring you what they consider New Orleans music, but instead they ARE NEW ORLEANS! Earl was so easy to work with and the entire band was phenomenal.

The Bon Temps were extremely accommodating. They are obviously familiar with working with a 501(c)3 and the special needs involved. The band lead us on an incredible 2nd line jazz funeral march; it was the perfect balance between being uplifting and respectful. It was very moving. It felt like we were in New Orleans! Great band...great gig!!

Mardi Gras Party•Reviewed on May 26, 2016•From West Orange, NJ
As native New Orleanians, we wanted the real deal. Bon Temps Brass played all the tunes which made us homesick - then they played a few Genre' Benders, and funky stuff which got folks up dancing. As a semi-retired event planner, I was impressed by the way they we're like Navy Seals when they unloaded and set up. Earl and Lisa took the time to visit the venue, thus preventing any last-minute logistical drama. They allowed several folks to sit in. They responded positively to request for certain songs. If you are looking for an authentic New Orleans sound, book these guys. They're worth every nickle

I was so excited to have Bon Temps Brass Band at our college Mardi Gras Masquerade event and they did not disappoint! They were very professional, accommodating, talented, and overall just a great band. They had students up and dancing the entire night and I still have people coming up to me telling me how much they loved the band! We will definitely be hiring them again next year!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 6, 2015•From New York City, NY
The event was a success and the Bon Temps Brass Band are largely to thank. The band arrived (on time), tuned up and played acoustically through out the night with only a short break. It was an internal corporate function for 150ppl and we had a creole/Mardi Gras theme The food was great but the most talked about portion of the event was the live music/Bon Temps Brass Band. The office had a great time, the band manager/lead singer was outstanding, professional and willing do work with us to put on a great show. If we do this event again, next year, I will be giving The Bon Temps a call.

Fantastic band! Exactly what our Mardi Gras event needed. Played to the crowd, good mix of tunes, great showmanship. Can't wait until next year's Mardi Gras event because I know who our band will be. These guys do not disappoint.
