Check out the videos below for a taste of our sound, and scroll through to see how we typically build the perfect flow for your event—from cocktails to the last dance.
Cocktail & Dinner Set
Every great party starts with the perfect atmosphere. During cocktails and dinner, we keep things smooth and soulful—playing mellow jazz, laid-back brass, feel-good soul, and tasteful pop covers that create an inviting backdrop while guests mix, mingle, and enjoy their drinks and dinner.
This set is all about setting the tone without stealing the spotlight—easy on the ears, rich in vibe, and unmistakably New Orleans.
Oldies & Classics Set
Once the drinks are flowing and the vibe is right, it’s time to open up the dance floor—and we know just how to get all generations moving. This is where we break out the beloved oldies and timeless classics that everyone knows and loves. Think Motown grooves, soul hits, and golden-era pop that'll have your parents, your aunties, and your coworkers out there showing off their best moves.
It’s the perfect way to kick off the dance party and get everyone—from the early birds to the dance-floor legends—on their feet and feeling the joy.
These songs never go out of style.
90s to Modern Bops
Once the party’s in full swing, we bring the heat with the best of 90s pop, R&B, and hip hop—plus the modern chart-toppers everyone’s singing along to. From nostalgic singalongs to feel-good bangers, this is the part of the night where the energy’s high, the horn section’s on fire, and the dance floor is packed.
Whether you're reliving your middle school dance days or vibing with the latest hits, this set blends throwback joy and fresh party energy to close out the night in true Big Fun style.
A Little Lagniappe (That’s Extra Fun Stuff, Y’all!)
Yes, we do take one special song request per event! For weddings, we love to learn your First Dance song (if it’s a good fit for the band—which it usually is!).
Thinking about adding a second line to your event? If you’re keeping the parade on the grounds of your venue, the musicians from WE ARE BIG FUN! can absolutely bring that iconic New Orleans energy for an on-site second line.
But if you’re taking it to the streets (literally!), head over to our Second Line page. Street parades require a full brass band, a city permit, and police escorts—services not included in the WE ARE BIG FUN lineup. The good news? We’d love to be your one-stop shop! We can book the right musicians, handle the paperwork, and make sure your second line is as smooth as it is unforgettable.
Meet the Natural Bone Killers
Big Sound, Small Footprint
For smaller venues or tighter budgets, check out our 4- and 5-piece band: Natural Bone Killers. Made up entirely of musicians from WE ARE BIG FUN!, this compact crew delivers the same high-caliber talent with a more intimate setup.
From New Orleans-style jazz and funk to soul, R&B, hip hop and pop covers, they bring a full spectrum of sound that’s perfect for cocktail-style receptions, backyard weddings, or any celebration where space is limited—but the vibe needs to be huge.
Ceremony Music
Your ceremony deserves a soundtrack as meaningful as the moment itself. We offer a range of elegant live music options to set the tone—whether you're envisioning something timeless and romantic or a touch of New Orleans charm.
Choose from solo piano, solo violin, or solo guitar for a classic and refined atmosphere, or opt for a brass trio or jazz ensemble for a ceremony that blends sophistication with that unmistakable local flair. From traditional wedding selections to soulful instrumentals, we’ll help create a musical backdrop that elevates every moment and reflects your personal style.
