Reviews of The Jaywalkers Second Line Band

Thank You for Making My Dad's Memorial Parade So Memorable! It was his dream, to have a Jazz Parade to celebrate his life and The Jaywalkers made it happen. They were professional, kind and a lot of fun! If you are looking for a hassle-free experience, book with Darlene and Jerry

Lola Popov

March 18, 2022 We renewed our wedding vows and booked The Jaywalkers for second line parade and The Gumbo Trio played at the renewal ! I would give them TEN Stars if I could ! It was AMAZING !!!! The most fun we have ever had ! We LOVE New Orleans and The Jazzman

Words can’t express how special Jerry and Darlene made my 47th Birthday. This parade is one that you really had to be there to understand how much fun and love was put into the parade. My 47th Birthday was perfect

Desiree Johnson

Darlene, Jerry and the whole band were outstanding. The whole process was fantastic from beginning to end and we will definitely be back for a second round! Thank you for making Mary's 50th birthday unforgettable. This parade was the absolute highlight of our trip!

We used the Jaywalkers to plan our own personal second line parade. It was incredible. They set up the permits, the police, the band and the grand marshal. We met at a bar around 3:30 just off Bourbon and marched down Bourbon until 4:15. We danced, we sang, we picked up new friends along the way. Everyone had their phone out recording us. We had a great time and the Jaywalkers really brought the energy. Amazing experience.

Angela Monroe

WOW! I booked Jaywalkers for a client event. Jerry was easy to work with and promptly responded to my inquiry. Darlene and the band were so full of energy! They arrived on time, ready to go. Everything happened like clockwork, despite my customizations. SO EASY! And everyone was very professional. My client couldn't have been happier! I highly recommend for Jaywalkers for a stress-free experience.

Petra Rittinger

Everything about this parade was AMAZING! Our daughter was so surprised and the Jaywalkers were voted “the best thing we did in New Orleans!” The anticipation, watching the band members slowly showing up at the bar, and our daughter having no clue was rewarded with literally the best parade ever! We are already thinking up another reason to come back and do it again! Thank you for the memories we made!

DeShon Thomas

My family and I had a great time with the Jaywalkers. We paraded down the Quarter in the rain making wonderful music and having a amazing time. The set process was easy and event was memorable. Definitely would recommend.

Allison Brockmann

My 40th Bday would have been incomplete without The Jaywalkers - this experience was the most incredible way to usher in a new decade! Even the most unsure were absolutely raving about how much fun they had after Darlene and The Jaywalkers led us in an unforgettable Second Line. Darlene is an entertainer extraordinaire and The Jaywalkers are extremely talented musicians…if you throw a party in New Orleans and you don’t hire them, you didn’t do it right!

We hired The Jaywalkers for a second line parade in the French Quarter for my husband's 75th birthday. Our group of 20 family and friends ranged in age from 25 to 76. Everyone agreed it was the best party they had ever attended. The band is excellent. They play great dixieland music and everyone along the parade route comes pouring out of the bars and into the streets to watch or join your parade. We must be in thousands of people's videos of their vacation in New Orleans. Our parade Grand Marshall, Denise Embree, literally danced to the music for the entire length of the parade route. I would recommend having a second line parade for any special occasion. You will love it and your guests will love it. Denise will take care of all the details, parade permits, the police escort, and answer all your questions. You just show up ready to party, and they do all the rest.

Sandy Alves

I surprised my husband with the Jaywalkers Second Line Band, including a police escort, down and around the French Quarter for his 60th birthday. If you're looking for an extra special treat for your special event, hire the Jaywalkers! Our group said it was the most fun they have ever had in their lives. The Jaywalkers are professional, fun, the music is great and their energy an A+. Thank you Jaywalkers!

Yvette Ponthier

It was great seeing the Jaywalkers Band at my client's Second Line Parade. Jerry and Darlene with their amazing group of talented musicians did a fantastic job as usual! The Jay Walkers are by far the best Second Line Band out there – I know – I have photographed many of them. No other band puts as much spirit into their performance as they do, which makes for a much better experience not only for the attendees and the client, but also for the sidewalk-spectators. Kudos to Jerry, Darlene and the gang!!

This weekend, I celebrated my 60th Birthday with family and friends in New Orleans.The highlight of the four day celebration/trip was the Second Line Parade.Grand Marshall, Darlene, lead the Jaywalkers Second Line Band and our group around the French Quarter. We drank, marched and danced along, St Louis, Bourbon, St Phillip to Royal Street; finishing with the band playing" When the Saints Go Marching In" at Brennan's, our B-Day dinner destination. The Second Line Parade experience exceeded all my expectations. For half an hour, I was on a natural high; for there is no greater feeling than owning a city street with hundreds of onlookers joining in the Celebration! Thank you Jerry, Darlene and Jaywalkers for making this an unforgettable experience. You are the best.

Karen Phillips

We hired the Jaywalkers for a parade for my husband's 60th birthday. It was nothing short of an awesome, once-in-a-lifetime experience. They handle EVERYTHING (parade permits, police escort, band, coordinating with the bars involved, and who knows what else)...all you have to do is show up on time. It's a guaranteed blast for everyone in your group, and whoever else along the route who decides to join your parade (one of my favorite aspects of the whole thing!). They delivered on every promise made, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Brian Hutchinson

The Jaywalkers were awesome. I bought the deluxe package where they handle all the arrangements and it went off with out a hitch. Darlene and Jerry were very helpful in choosing a route and couldn't have been nicer. We even got rained on and they played through the whole thing. I would definitely hire them again.

Marisa Primozic

We had the most wonderful time at our second line parade celebrating beating a dismal cancer diagnosis! They handled all of the details-everything from the permits to the route planning. All we had to do was show up and have fun! Thank you so much for such a memorable, unique experience!!!

Greg Davis

Everyone loved the band and the parade experience! Could not have asked for a more suiting way to celebrate our marriage. Very lively and fun to say the least. Could easily say it was one of the best if not the best part of the wedding celebration.

Brad Bauman

This was one of the most fun experiences that my wife and I ever had in New Orleans. Booked this as a surprise for her 40th and it made the trip truly special. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the Jaywalkers are and how incredible the parade was. Thank you

Lindsay Kelly

I hired The Jaywalkers Second Line Band to escort my corporate group from a private jazz show at Preservation Hall to dinner at Sazerac House. This was by one of the top highlights of the entire trip for my guests! Who else can say they "shut down" a block of Bourbon St. and Canal St. on their commute to dinner?! Darlene and Jerry were an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. Both were extremely responsive and organized and made this process so easy for me. I cannot wait to bring another group to New Orleans just so I can work with them again! Thank you for everything!!

Amanda Smith

Jerry and Darlene did an amazing job arranging the Second Line for our daughter's 21st birthday. Other than the stress of not knowing if the city would resume giving out permits (halted due to the pandemic), it could not have been easier. It quite literally rained on our parade, but the band played on! We had the most wonderful time and have memories that will last forever. Highly recommend them!!!

The Jaywalkers Second Line Band MADE THE PARTY!!! It was our 50th Wedding Anniversary and all of my 21 family members made the trek to NOLA to celebrate this signature moment. No one, not even me, had a clue that the parade would be so much fun, so energizing and such a perfect prelude to our dinner at Arnauds. We even had a very talented and lovely stilt walker, who added a lot to the good times. Thank you Darlene and Jerry for all you did to make our celebration so special.

Lori Pavin

Jerry and Marlene are the bomb!!!! Super easy to work with!!!!. We had soooo much fun!!!! I’m having a problem finding the right words to describe our second line parade because it was so over the top successful, fun, exciting, memorable, And professional. The stilt walkers were definitely the crowd pleasers! The music sounded so fantastic and lively and sooo professional!! It was so awesome and shocking how many people from off the street joined our parade. That was proof how much fun we were having, everyone wanted to be part of it! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to Jerry and Marlene for the best experience that New Orleans has to offer. All our guests are still talking about it. My Husbands surprise birthday was incredible because of you !!!!!

Lisa Fuller

Our daughter married the love of her life in New Orleans. Most of our family and guests had never been to Nola, so the excitement of a second line band following the wedding ceremony was amazing! The thrill of dancing and parading across Canal Street with the Jaywalkers jazz band was an awesome experience and lasting memory. Thank you for orchestrating an unforgettable Second Line. The bride and groom felt like celebrities!

Andrea Kline

The Jaywalkers were AMAZING!! They were very easy to work with during the planning process and took care of the permits, police escorts and everything else! They were prompt and professional and (most importantly) FUN! We were able to give our guests a once in a lifetime experience. If you’re in the market for a second line band, you will be so happy you chose The Jaywalkers!!

Catherine Arnold (Katie)

The second line that the Jay Walkers coordinated and performed was the highlight of our wedding for many of our guests. The group coordinated well with the venue and DJ who was running sound for the ceremony. The band played beautifully and The Grand Marshall helped keep the crowds at bay. The only negative comment was was it ran longer than we had originally asked for which was a little far for some of our guests.

Mignon Trahan

When my daughter asked for a second line at her wedding I had no idea what that was...it turned out to be the most amazing parade in the French quarter that evening. The Jaywalkers kept the music playing and the crowd entertained. Truly an event our family and friends will be talking about for a very long time.

Nicole Rodriguez

Music was phenomenal and Jaywalkers members were incredible. This was by far the main highlight of our trip. I have been suggesting this group and experience to everyone since the moment we returned home. One of my favorite and Certainly most memorable experiences of my life!

Posted for Brad Storck If you are looking for one of the best times of your life…Look no further. I recently celebrated my 60th birthday in The Crescent City (NOLA). My thoughts were…Hey I want a parade. The parade Gods smiled on me that day, because I found “The Jazz Man & The Jaywalkers Second Line Band. I got in touch with The Jazz Man (Jerry)…They got the permits, lined up the police escort, mapped out the parade route, got the Best Band ever & the icing on the cake was The Grand Marshall (Darlene). The entire experience was Amazing!!!!! It was a blast from start to finish! As the song says…”Only in New Orleans” If you want the party of a lifetime…Call The Jazz Man…Who Dat? Dat be Jerry! Brad Storck

Nikki Popielarcheck

From the moment that I contacted them, they were AMAZING! Quick responses, professional, and welcoming. We ended up with 60 people in our group and every single person said it was the "BEST VACATION EVER!" Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Alejandro Campos

The Jaywalkers were fantastic. They had everything planned and setup for my group. The route they had picked out was excellent and they certainly are a great sounding band. If I ever need a second line in New Orleans again, they are certainly my first choice.

Kelly Schlinsog

You can’t imagine how amazing this experience is with The Jaywalkers! Celebrated a once in a lifetime parade for my husband’s 60th. Wow! Phenomenal and Epic! Amazing and so fun you will think it’s a sin! Nothing like a New Orleans Second Line with these talented folks...you just haven’t lived until you experience this.

Pintu A

The Jaywalkers were simply incredible. Highly organized, full of energy, on time, and nothing short of expectations. Everyone in our group was absolutely thrilled and people along the streets were all videotaping the PARADE! Thank you for an amazing time!!!

Mom's Place A Chicago Gathering Spot

Where is that 6th star when you need it?? These guys CRUSHED it for us and we can't wait to do it again and again!

Merrie Eichholt

this was the best idea and we all had a blast! very professional to deal with and who doesn't like to have their own parade and shut down canal street for a few blocks! highly recommend the Jaywalkers!

Madison Ryder

We hired The Jaywalkers for a company event in New Orleans and had a blast! We had a great experience and they are easy to work with.

Douglas Widick
