Corporate event band pricing in New Orleans depends on factors like band size, performance length, production needs, and the overall scope of the event. Smaller ensembles may start in the low thousands, while larger party bands with horns, vocalists, and full production can range significantly higher.
At Big Easy Entertainment, we work with each client’s vision, venue, and budget to recommend the right entertainment option — from elegant jazz groups for cocktail receptions to high-energy party bands for galas, conferences, and company celebrations.
The ideal band size depends on the atmosphere you want to create, the venue size, and the flow of the event.
Smaller groups such as jazz trios or quartets work well for cocktail hours, networking events, and intimate receptions. Mid-sized bands are ideal for most corporate celebrations, while larger party bands with multiple vocalists and horns create a high-energy experience for galas, conferences, award ceremonies, and large company events.
We help clients choose the right ensemble based on their guest count, event goals, and budget.
Yes. Big Easy Entertainment regularly works with corporate planners managing multi-day conferences, conventions, galas, and company events across multiple venues in New Orleans.
We can coordinate entertainment for welcome receptions, cocktail hours, networking events, awards ceremonies, after-parties, and more — all through one centralized team.
For planners managing multi-day schedules, multiple venues, and high expectations, working with one entertainment provider isn’t just more convenient — it’s more reliable. Communication is streamlined, decisions are faster, and execution remains consistent across the board.
Our team works closely with planners, hotels, venues, and production teams to ensure a seamless experience from the first event to the final performance.
Yes. Most corporate event bands provide professional sound equipment appropriate for the size and needs of the event.
Depending on the venue and production requirements, this can include speakers, microphones, mixing equipment, and basic stage lighting. For larger conferences, ballrooms, or outdoor events, we can also coordinate expanded production services and work directly with your AV team or venue.
That depends on the atmosphere you want to create. One of the biggest draws for destination events in New Orleans is the rich cultural landscape of New Orleans and Louisiana music. This may look like a roaming solo saxophonist performing New Orleans jazz, or a smooth trumpet, bass, and guitar trio as guests mingle, or a zydeco band for a bit of dinner party flavor, or a second line bands parading through a conference hall leading guests from one destination to the next, dueling pianos taking live requets, or a power house top 40 band performing all the familiar hits.
At Big Easy Entertainment, we tailor the entertainment to your event — whether you’re looking for elegant background music, authentic New Orleans culture, or a high-energy dance floor experience.
Yes. A second line parade is one of the most memorable and uniquely New Orleans experiences you can incorporate into a corporate event.

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during peak seasons in New Orleans such as spring festival season, fall convention season, and major holiday periods.
Larger corporate events and premium bands often book months in advance. Early planning also allows more flexibility with band options, production coordination, and event logistics. However, we can always accommodate last-minute bookings!
