July 24, 2021Let the Good Times Roll
Big Fun Brass Band definitely lives up to the name!! First off, communication with them (particularly Abby) before the event was great-- very responsive via email, and very helpful and transparent with costs and permits. It was really helpful to have them fill out the 2nd line permit, especially if you are from out of town. They work with you and the city to come up with a great parade route. The day of the event, they arrived on time and were willing to work with us around the timing of our ceremony. They were a hit, and everyone loved their energy. They kept the party going for an hour straight!! I definitely recommend Big Fun Brass Band to take your event to the next level!

June 10, 2026Wedding Day: A Second Line to Remember!!!
Big Fun is just that BIG FUN!!! From my initial email until my wedding day Second Line, the process was clear and seamless. Big Fun handled all of the details and the price was outstanding for the value we received. The band was ROCKIN’ and our wedding guests truly enjoyed the experience. As a bride, I was confident and stress-free on wedding day because of Big Fun staff and musicians. I highly recommend them for an outstanding entertainment experience!! Thanks Big Fun!!
