Our mission is to create and curate memorable live jazz entertainment experiences that your clients and audiences talk about with enthusiasm after every event!

It invites the audience to lean in, sparking conversation and connection. How We Elevate Your Event: We don’t just provide background music; we provide a curated atmosphere. Whether it’s a high-stakes corporate gala, an intimate boutique wedding, or a luxury brand launch, our ensembles are styled and coached to match the aesthetic excellence of your venue. Bespoke Curation: From solo "Noir" pianists to full "Big Band" Pop Nouveau orchestras. Versatile Repertoire: A library of hundreds of modern hits rearranged with syncopation, swing, and soul. Visual Sophistication: Our performers reflect the "Nouveau" aesthetic—classic elegance with a modern edge. By choosing Pop Nouveau Jazz, you aren't just booking a band; you are securing an immersive experience. We specialize in that "golden hour" energy—where the music is sophisticated enough for cocktails and conversation, yet infectious enough to keep guests engaged and energized throughout the night. Pop Nouveau has decades of experience performing at weddings all over the planet! We are ready to provide you with the perfect soundtrack to enhance every moment of your special day! From setting the mood for your "I do" moment, to creating a swinging vibe for cocktail hour, to providing some sultry sounds for dinner which lead right into an unforgettable all night dance party!

Our affordable tours are priced per person with tax and gratuities included. The only thing not included are drinks. However, a beverage package upgrade is available, which provides guests a signature cocktail at various stops. Build Your Network Our exclusive experiences provide the ultimate networking opportunities. At a typical sit-down dinner, you’re lucky to engage the person to the left and right of you. Because our tours take place at multiple restaurants, with walking in between, there are countless opportunities to interact with different people when you sit down at each venue and as you traverse along the way. Our experiences not only provide more ways to network, but a more convivial way to do so. Large Groups Welcome Lip Smacking Foodie Tours is ideal for groups, small or large.

You’ll take comfort knowing that everything is taken care of from the moment the tour is booked to the minute it concludes. Since the menu is already set, you have nothing to worry about. Just remember to submit ahead of the tour date any dietary restrictions and food allergies for anyone in your group. Feel Like a VIP at Each Stop With Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, you and your group members never have to worry about waiting in line to get into a top restaurant or being shown to a less than desirable table. On our tours, everyone is treated like a VIP with immediate seating upon arrival. What’s more, your group may receive a special warm welcome personally from the restaurant chef. Menus can be printed featuring your logo, too, which can be an added bonus for all those Instagram moments you share. For added ease, we can even arrange transportation pick-up and drop-off, as well as an event photographer. And for groups that desire an extra luxe experience, we can also arrange for an evening helicopter ride over the glittering lights of The Strip.

Our one-of-a-kind tours are special, from the first stop to the last. It’s an experience that attendees will reminisce about long after they leave. Location, Location, Location One of the best reasons to book is the convenient and efficient way the experience is designed. All restaurants are within an easy walking distance of each other. The short stroll allows your group members a chance to engage in prime networking opportunities before heading to the next place on your tour itinerary. You Get a Dinner and a Show Our tours offer an exquisite feast plus entertainment. All tours include a knowledgeable, professional guide who leads the group on a walking tour, offering engaging tidbits and fascinating stories.
