Private Party•Reviewed on December 27, 2025•From Forked River, NJ
FANTASTIC!!! No doubt about it. This band BRINGS it! ALL of it! The PARTY. The professionalism. The stellar musicianship. HIRE this band! We are very glad WE did! They injected non-stop energy and spirit into our company’s holiday party. No pun intended, but they blew everybody away! Absolutely fantastic! Also, everything ‘went’ exactly as band leader Dave Mullen told us it would. They showed up when they said they would, and were primed and ready to go as all of my colleagues were arriving for the party. Just perfect.So grateful to The Bash for helping us find this group and also grateful to Dave Mullen for knowing how to put the perfect ensemble together!
:
Thank YOU Amy for your kind words. Truthfully, it was a joy to play for you and your colleagues. What a fun time! I'm glad we were able to bring some holiday cheer to your party. I hope we have another opportunity to work together.

Demolition Brass Band was a complete class act!! They brought all the fun and energy to our Welcome Party on the 4th of July. The setting was perfect for having the band set up on the porch of the venue and playing to the crowd. They had amazing energy and exceptional talent. Dave was wonderful to work with leading up to the event day, and easy to communicate with. Overall a great experience. Hope to work with them again!
:
Wow! Thank you SO much for this!
It was an absolute pleasure working with you both.
Such a beautiful day! I hope we will have the opportunity to work with you again.
Much love and huge congrats!

AMAZING! We booked Dave and his guys as the opening act for our Enrichment Day at school. They entertained grades PreK4 - 8 and everyone loved it. They brought the best energy and got our kids stoked for a fun day. Would recommend them over and over again!

Dave was great to work with for my second line birthday party, even though he came down with the flu he still was able to send a replacement, and the show went on without a hitch. I would highly recommend this band for any New Orleans theme events. The second line felt like we were there even though we were in update New York.

Thank you Tammy!
It was really great working with you and glad that we could accommodate just what you were looking for! I hope to do it every year : )
Happy Birthday!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 19, 2022•From Northport, NY
Dave and the band were absolutely stellar! Not only are they top-notch musicians and their music exciting and joyful, but they are a pleasure to deal with. Flexible, accommodating, creative, well-dressed and very cool. We had the band sneak up behind the guests at our outdoor wedding. When our vows were done, with a serious face, my wife said to the crowd, "I have a question for you.... (pause)... ARE YOUR READY TO PARTY??!!!" She blew a whistle and the band burst into Do What You Wanna before anyone knew they were even there. What a moment!! Then they led a parade to the reception. Demolition Brass Band, ladies and gentlemen!

Thanks so much for the opportunity to make your day so special.
We enjoyed every moment and that’s why we do what we do!
Many years of happiness to you both.
See you at the next one!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 4, 2021•From Brooklyn, NY
Demolition brass band brought our most wild wedding vision to life. They worked with us when we had to reschedule due to covid and were very communicative with us along the way. We got so many compliments about the music, joyful vibe and NOLA feel. I can’t thank this band enough and would recommend them a million times!

Celebration•Reviewed on June 21, 2021•From Long Beach, NY
Wow! 2 days after my party and I'm still getting calls and texts about how great the band was. I have a very small backyard that really isn't the best for entertaining and they just worked with it and got it done. The sound was absolutely amazing and even my neighbors came over to listen. I can't even recommend these guys enough. They really engage with the guests and know how to keep everyone dancing. Hopefully I can make this an annual event!

Wow! Thanks a lot for your amazing review!
It was so much fun to play for you and your friends at your New Orleans Jazz Fest Party.
Let’s stay in touch and do it again sometime.
We’ll clear our calendar anytime.
Thanks again!

These guys are absolutely amazing! Dave’s the best - he made the booking process simple and he’s extremely professional. They made what was already an awesome wedding an over the top wedding. They were the highlight of the night, and guests are still reaching out to us days later to tell us how much fun they had with them. BOOK THIS BAND! You will not be disappointed!

Thanks Robert and Nicole for your incredible review!
We’re STILL feeling the energy and joy from from wedding too.
And truth be told, playing for you guys was so much fun.
Much love and success in the future and please stay in touch!

Wedding•Reviewed on December 31, 2020•From New York City, NY
Got the band last minute for a surprise wedding gift for a friend and his bride who did a zoom wedding in their apartment. The band and my fam greeted them outside their building and went on a one hour march of lower Manhattan, singing along to some New Orleans brass band hits. They were awesome and delivered as promised!

Thank you David for your great review.
It was a pleasure working with you.

Dave and the crew were amazing! They definitely helped us set the mood and made the party. It was easy to setup the event with Dave, who at first wasn't able to make it but I'm glad he joined the crew on the day of. I was able to discuss the mood and style we were going for the party and the band delivered every point.
Thanks guys!

Hi Jessie,
Thanks a lot for your glowing review! That was so much fun and glad we were your choice for your party!

Funeral•Reviewed on January 12, 2020•From Dobbs Ferry, NY
Simply the best. TDBB played a Jazz Funeral for my dear 95 year-old mom and led the first second line Dobbs Ferry, NY has ever seen. It was an expression of pure love and joy that lifted all of our hearts heaven-high. Bystanders were gobsmacked - dancing and waving as we marched through town. Dave Mullen was a sympathetic and superb communicator and stayed closely in touch to make sure all would come together perfectly. They were more-than-punctual, caring, and even learned a special request song, performing it like they'd been playing it forever. They capped off a traditional Episcopal funeral service. Everyone was in awe. Best decision ever. Thanks so much, guys!

Hi Susan,
Thanks so much for your kind words!
It was a true joy to be a part of your day celebrating your Mom's llfe.
And I'm glad we were able to give you and your friends and family some comfort in this difficult time.
I hope we'll have another opportunity to work together sometime.
We'd be honored to be a part of it.
Thanks again!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on November 18, 2019•From Brooklyn, NY
The Demolition Brass Band was above and beyond fantastic! They helped surprise my girlfriend (now fiance) starting with a song request that they hadn't hear before, so they had to learn it.. Then we 2nd lined through Brooklyn, shutting down the streets with 50+ friends and family along the route... I would absolutely recommend them if you're looking for a high energy brass band that can do it all....
:
Thanks Steve! It was great working with you and we're so glad she said YES. Congrats again. Hope to work together again sometime.
Happy Holidays!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 6, 2019•From Brooklyn, NY
Having Demolition Brass Band surprise our guests at our wedding was the absolute best decision we made. They listened to all our song request and have a variety of genres in their repertoire. They played traditional NOLA tunes, rap, Amy Winehouse and Nirvana. Our guests can't stop mentioning their favorite part of the night - the NOLA Brass Band!
