We need a jazz band for a swinging ceremony

Does anybody know of a small jazz ensemble to play our wedding ceremony in New Orleans?
We're in the home stretch of this wedding planning thing, but music for the ceremony is foiling us. In our dream world, we imagine a traditional New Orleans jazz band playing before the ceremony, after during the champagne toast, and while mostlymartha walks down the aisle to "Honeysuckle Rose."
Is such a thing even possible? Most of the bands we've gotten leads on just play receptions, but that's not what we need since the time chunk (generally at least three hours) is too long. Does anyone know of any musicians who'd be open to playing a short show for a couple of kids in love?

You could just go down to the French Quarter and throw a rock...

Not sure if they do weddings, but look into the New Orleans Jazz Vipers.
