African-American Wedding Vendors in New Orleans

New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, and an African-American wedding here can honor that heritage in full — a jumping-the-broom ceremony, a jazz second-line parade led by a brass band, soulful music, and a celebration rooted in family and community. The vendors who bring this to life with care and respect — planners, caterers, brass bands, photographers, and more — serve New Orleans and the surrounding parishes. Provow makes them easy to find: post your wedding for free, and vendors send you proposals directly.

What to know

Share the traditions that matter

Whether you are including jumping the broom, a second line, or other meaningful elements, note them so vendors can honor them thoughtfully.

Plan the second line early

A second-line parade needs a brass band, a route, and often a city permit. A local planner who knows the process keeps it smooth.

Set the tone with music

From a brass band to a DJ, the sound shapes the celebration. Share what you love and vendors will propose.
