Amazing! Our out of state guests all said this was the best part of ANY wedding they had ever been to. So much fun, and the planning services were excellent as well. We had to make changes bc of the permit office and Halloween parades and they were on top of everything. Do not even hesitate, worth every penny! More...

Kinfolk was the best addition to our wedding day! Such talented musicians who really livened up the day. I know the second line is a memory many of our out-of-town guests will remember forever, and that’s all thanks to Kinfolk. They also provided some amazing music during the cocktail hour as well. Would highly recommend! More...

For years, I'd imagined my wedding with a second line, even after I moved away from NOLA. When we decided to have our wedding in NOLA, it was the deciding factor, and I knew I had to get the best of the best - KINFOLK! !! Look no further if you are searching. Kinfolk brought the party! They took special requests, and made the 30 minutes of the second line my favorite 30 minutes of the whole day!! Our guests are raving about them months later as they were the absolute highlight of the day! More...

We are so happy we chose Kinfolk Brass Band to do the Second Line at our wedding! They were great to work with during the planning process and made everything very easy. We chose to add the planning services to our package and they took care of all of the permits which made things seamless leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, the band was prompt and extremely engaging with our guests. They played classic jazz music as well as a Whitney Houston song that everyone could sing and dance along to. The parade route spanned several blocks which was a pleasant surprise as we were expecting a very short trip around the block. We would absolutely recommend Kinfolk to anyone looking for a fun second line experience for their event! More...

Kinfolk Brass Band performed a second line parade for my daughter and her husband's wedding. Most of our guest were from out of town and had never heard of a second line. They were blown away by the AMAZING performance. If you're planning a wedding or party in New Orleans Kinfolk Brass Band is a must have for your event. You will not be disappointed!! More...

The amazing Kinfolk put on the ultimate performance for our second line from our wedding reception to the after-party! Playing every song we requested, from Celebration to I Wanna Dance with Somebody and closing out with When the Saints Go Marching In, we’ve never had more fun (and neither have our guests)! The Kinfolk team was professional, incredibly easy and fun to work with, and most importantly, made sure my husband I and every one of our guests had a blast parading and dancing through the French Quarter. We couldn’t recommend Kinfolk more — thank you for giving us the opportunity to have the time of our lives! More...

Kinfolk are AMAZING!!! Super quick and easy communications when inquiring/booking. Band showed up promptly and looking fabulous (love the sleek uniforms and our Grand Marshall was a show stopper! )! Would highly recommend the parade planning service they offer to keep things tight. Band sounded amazing and nailed our special song!! Also, all the members were the nicest guys!! More...

Kinfolk was great! The band was lively and had our entire venue celebrating with us and out into the French Quarter! They celebrated us, and we’re inclusive. Sarah was very organized and professional, she was available when we needed her, and answered all of our questions. Thank you Kinfolk Brass Band for giving us and our guests a second line celebration to remember forever! More...

hire them. just do it. Performed and lead the second line at our wedding and it was everything I hoped it would be.... even with a parade going on at the same time forcing road closures. They are the best for a reason.

What an amazing group of musicians!! We hired the jazz trio for the ceremony and the jazz band for our reception. Then for our grand finale, the second line band. They were spot on with the songs we chose and the timing for the ceremony. Our guests danced the night away at the reception raving about the band and then the second line, you don’t get more New Orleans than that! The second line band went above and beyond to make our dreams come true. We waited 1 1/2 years due to COVID restrictions to have this wedding and our guests (especially the men, believe it or not) said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It doesn’t get any better than that! Kinfolk was an integral part of the most amazing night of our lives. Could not recommend more!!! Thank you Kinfolk!! More...

THE BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING! Not only a fun, unique way to celebrate your wedding, but the guys over at Kinfolk made it so easy to schedule and take care of you during your wedding planning stress. We had to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to COVID and Hurricane Ida, and they made it so easy every single time. If you are considering doing a secondline in NOLA, HIGHLY recommend these guys. It was awesome! More...

Kinfolk is a MUST do for your wedding! We hired the brass band for our second line and they were a HIT! The band was on time, waiting for us at our church, ready to strike up the music. The musicians are so talented, and were a real treat for our guests- we were all from out of town. Our wedding planner took care of filing permits, police escorts, and the exact route. We knew we wanted to start at St. Louis Cathedral and end at Pat O'Brien's, but the wedding planner took care of the rest. Our wedding planner recommended Kinfolk, but the Knot reviews helped us feel even more confident in the recommendation. The band was loud, energetic, and sounded great. One of the highlights of our wedding was the second line! More...

Well Kinfolk helped set the tone for the evening at our daughter's recent New Orleans wedding. We chose to do the second line to lead our wedding guests from the courtyard wedding to the reception venue. This wedding was a destination wedding with most guests never participating in a Second Line. Kinfolk did not disappoint! They were just THE BEST. Such fun music and energy was created by the band. All our guests could not quit talking about the perfect way to start the reception. The bride and groom loved every minute of this special New Orleans tradition. Thanks Kinfolk for making it possible. More...

If you are looking to do a second line for your wedding, this is the band you need to lead you! My wife and I got married last weekend at the Chicory in New Orleans, and Kinfolk provided an unforgettable second line out of the venue. The transition between our wedding band and the Brass Band was flawless, and we second lined out the venue down Fulton Alley. Kinfolk played some of their catchy original tunes, as well as some pop favorites from Bruno Mars to Whitney Houston, and it could not have been more perfect! Many of our guests were in from out of town and had either never been to New Orleans, or had never seen a second line, and they were absolutely blown away by this band. Everyone could not stop talking about how much fun they had and how great the horns were. It truly elevated an already magical evening to the next level! You need this band at your next event!

Hiring Kinfolk is a MUST for your wedding. My guests and ourselves were blown away by their talent. We hired their brass band for our second line parade and also a 4-piece jazz band for our reception. We were told by our guests that our wedding was one of the most unique weddings they had been to, because of the second line parade and live jazz music. I worked with Sarah at Kinfolk and she did a fantastic job with answering all the questions I had. The 4-piece jazz band performed our first dance song and it was incredible. We will never forgot this amazing day, and Kinfolk played one of the largest parts in it. It was worth every penny. Thank you so much! More...

Kinfolk was great during the planning process and handled all the permits for our second line parade! All of our guests are still talking about how great the second line was and how much fun they had! Highly recommend using Kinfolk for your wedding day! More...

Having Kinfolk and a Second Line was the highlight of our day! It was why we chose to get married in New Orleans and they are the BEST choice. On time, up beat, a great mix of music, and really got the party started. They were also so easy to work with during COVID as we had to postpone. Highly recommend doing the whole parade planning package (permit, police escort, etc) so you can sit back, relax, and know you are going to have the best entertainment. We are so so happy with Kinfolk, have the best photos and memories, and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had! If you do not book them you are sincerely missing out! More...

Planning: We worked with Sarah to schedule our second line. She took care of the parade route planning, permit, police escorts. She was extremely responsive and so kind! ///////// Experience: For all of our guests, it was their first time being in a second line - and I’m SO HAPPY Kinfolk was the band to introduce them to that. They were incredible - sounded flawless, chose their songs excellently (good blend between NOLA music and pop songs), and had such a fun, up-beat energy. We even got to snap a photo with the band before they left! Days after the wedding, we keep hearing from our guests how fun the second line experience was. They were well-polished and professional, while still being fun! More...
