SRG NOLA

  • Starts at $700
  • Serves Pointe a la Hache, LA

Hi! I've been a wedding DJ for over 20 years. I've worked for a couple of DJ companies and I was a resident DJ at a local venue for a few years. After working countless weddings and seeing all those smiles and happy tears throughout these years, I decided to open my own DJ company.

Awarded Best of Zola
SRG Entertainment was fantastic! From music selection and variety, to lights, 360 Video camera, on the cloud dancing, Ceremony master, announcement right on time! They worked hard with so many hours of preplanning to the last minute arrangements and changes. I will definitely recommend them to my precious family and my dear friends. With SRG Entertainment I had no need to hire a wedding planner, they took care of my wife and me from the very beginning, helping us with ideas, suggestions and important information we didn't know about a wedding. SRG Entertainment made our special day, a Hassel free, worry free, stress free DAY! I would give them a 10 STAR (golden) if I could.

On October 12th, we tied the knot and were fortunate to have Brodrick, also known as DJ Smooth B from Any Event Productions, as our wedding DJ. His performance was absolutely outstanding. Throughout the entire evening, the dance floor was buzzing, thanks to his fantastic mix of our favorite tunes. When our violinist had an unexpected emergency and could not make it, Brodrick seamlessly stepped in to provide music and a microphone for the ceremony and music for the cocktail hour as we only hired him for our wedding reception. His communication right from the start was excellent, and we even had a detailed Zoom call in the weeks leading up to the wedding to finalize all the arrangements. Brodrick was incredibly prepared, and everything ran seamlessly thanks to his professionalism and dedication. His exceptional services truly saved the day, and we can't recommend DJ Smooth B highly enough for anyone in search of a top-notch DJ for their special day.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

Not a single person was sitting at the tables while the Dickens were on the stage. They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

Experience is everything when it comes to picking a DJ for your event. Having more than 22 years experience creating parties, let’s make your party a good one. Starting out at the world famous Cat’s Meow on Bourbon Street in 1995, I learned to play music for a wide variety of age groups. After working several years at Cat’s Meow, I transferred to Generations Hall in the Warehouse District. I have been a DJ there for the last 17 years providing music for every type of event imaginable. Outside of playing events at Generations Hall, I work with corporate event planners, brides and grooms, high schools, and charities.

I hired Ronnie for my wedding last year, and he was an excellent DJ! He worked with us every step of the way: he made sure to play songs I recommend, but also helped make suggestions to keep the party going! He arrived at the location on time, and this is important because the day of the wedding was hectic and overwhelming!

"My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was." This is direct from a wedding client review. Our diverse repertoire allows us to help you create the perfect soundtrack for your wedding (Ask for our song list!) We are a contest winning, personable band looking to make your wedding unforgettable. We perform dozens of wedding per year. Great with all ages, special requests and have event planning experience. I'd love to provide price quotes tiered for up to a 6 piece band. That way you can find the perfect balance for your budget and music entertainment needs.

Working with Leo was a great experience. He went above and beyond in providing me the service I had anticipated. His band Wild Faith played for my wedding reception just last weekend and they sounded great. When I first started talking with Leo about his availability he was prompt in his communication and also offered to learn new song material beyond his already extensive set list. This was what really made Leo an exceptional value to us. His offer of learning special songs for us, attention to detail, timeliness in communication as well as showing up on time at our cold and rainy outdoor ceremony site were what he delivered. His band sounded great and he also nailed everyone of our requested songs. In my opinion Leo and his band were ultimately a great fit for us. His value in comparison to other bands I spoke with was unsurpassed. It's a shame that far to often when the term wedding comes up in the hiring process, bands and other vendors seem to charge more for no other reason than the simple fact that they chose to do so. Leo did not over charge for his services and his performance was simply amazing. My guests didn't stop raving about how awesome the band was. He made our wedding special with his professionalism, kindness and the unique sound of his band. He was engaging with the crowd and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Wild Faith again for any future needs. I highly recommend talking to Leo about any live music performances you need to book. He will over deliver and you will be the beneficiary of his work.
