We currently service over 25 metropolitan areas throughout the lower 48, and provide musical entertainment for hundreds of events every year.

Louis Pettinelli Entertainment has musical ensembles that range from a soloist to a 15 piece party band, and everything in between!

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.

We used Sam Hill Entertainment to book the band “The Dickens”. This is the part of our wedding everyone is still talking about. They played such a variety that every age was able to enjoy. 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!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

DJ Triplicate 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $550
  • Serves Lafayette, LA for additional fees
  • Offer

Weddings are a big deal. It is a celebration of you making an eternal commitment to the person that you love more than anything. You would go to the ends of the earth for them, just to make them happy. So why would you risk the celebration of that love on a bargain bin DJ? I have read the horror stories. Seen the Reddit posts. It would have been such a beautiful wedding, and amazing memory… if the DJ didn’t ruin the entire thing. With DJ Triplicate, what you receive is consummate professionalism. Service that goes above and beyond. One on one attention with time, care, and empathy. “Don’t let a cheap wedding DJ happen to you”

DJ Triplicate is a huge mentor to me. He's quick to give advice based on his vast experience and is always willing to help. The quality of his work was top-notch - and I've seen him provide an awesome, professional, smooth, and grooving performance that keeps guests dancing all night. Trey is a consistent DJ who always delivers on a great event, with legendary playlists and smooth mixing. I'd have him DJ any event, as he will never let you down. Highly recommend!

His portal is super easy to use to add songs and requests, and he was so much fun to hang out with at our reception. He also was very generous in his offerings and didn’t upcharge for things others may have. Could not recommend him more!!!

Tasteful Tea Band

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Lafayette, LA for additional fees

We are an experienced and interactive band based out of Atlanta, Georgia. With years of experience performing throughout the Southeastern United States, we’ve had the privilege of playing at some of the most prestigious venues, such as The Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Our song list spans a wide range of genres and eras, so you can pick the tunes that mean the most to you.

First of all: during our reception, countless people came up and asked where we had found this band; they were that good!! This band kept our friends and family of all generations on the dancefloor. Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Lafayette, LA for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
