He knew he wanted a jazz/funk band to play a celebratory song after the big moment when he found the [Brian Murray Traditional Jazz Band](https://www.gigmasters.com/brass-band/brian-murray-traditional-jazz-band). Keep reading for his full event spotlight! ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/RE%20NOLA%201.png?width=309&name=RE%20NOLA%201.png) Eric shared, "I booked the Brian Murray Traditional Jazz Band to play my surprise wedding proposal in Jackson Square. On the big day, I led my then-girlfriend to the fountain near the cathedral, in which her father had surreptitiously placed a bottle of our favorite champagne (Veuve Cliquot), within which I had placed a special note. My then-girlfriend saw the bottle, read the note, I got on one knee, my life changed forever, and when I arose, the Brian Murray Traditional Jazz Band emerged and played a glorious celebratory tune! The band made the experience that much more magical and gave me and my now-fiancé a beautiful memory we will cherish forever." ![](https://itg.thebash.com/hs-fs/hubfs/RE%20NOLA%203.png?width=300&name=RE%20NOLA%203.png) Eric also left the Brian Murray Traditional Jazz Band a 5 star review on GigMasters, "I hired the Brian Murray Traditional Jazz Band to play a surprise wedding proposal and they absolutely crushed it. Very talented, accommodating, and professional. Their performance made for a special moment my future wife and I will never forget."  Thanks for sharing your story, Eric!
