Aaron was super helpful and professional through the whole process of selecting and booking the Loyales for our wedding in Lincoln, MA. Highly recommended!
Truly can't express how incredible The Loyales were as our wedding band! My husband and I are very big music fans and our #1 priority was having a band that didn't play the same 10...
overplayed songs and that felt like an ACTUAL band. The Loyales were absolutely spectacular. Not only did they travel down to MD from NY for our wedding day, but they learned several of our song requests (in addition to learning our first dance and parent dance songs) and completely brought the energy and skill that we had hoped for. We also got to take advantage of their versatility as musicians -- they played classical music during our ceremony, acoustic bluegrass/country/rock during our cocktail hour, and R&B, rock, and dance music for our reception. We love all types of music, and The Loyales' repertoire covered it all. The number of guests who sung their praises not only the night of the wedding but for months afterwards just speaks to the impact they made! We can't thank Milton & Co enough for making our wedding everything and more that we could have hoped for!
The Engagements played at our wedding and did a fantastic job! Everyone was dancing the whole night. They are so talented - everyone said how good they were at the end of the night...
. They were also very easy to work with and super responsive. My sister in law booked them after our wedding for hers in 2026. Definitely recommend!
The Loyales are not just a great wedding band, they are a fantastic group of super talented and professional musicians. We trusted them completely and aside from a few songs we had...
on our “no play” list, we asked the band leader Milton to pick the set list. They played a range of songs that kept people dancing all night long. They also learned a specific song that we wanted for our first dance. So many of our guests commented how great the band was. We highly recommend hiring The Loyales!

Fantastic Band!
We hired The Engagements for our wedding in June 2025 and couldn't be happier with our experience! They were great to work with during the planning process and wer...
e an incredible addition to our reception. The dance floor was full all night and guests raved about the band for weeks afterwards. We would recommend them to anyone!
We absolutely LOVED having the Tribute Strings Quartet from Lucy Music play during our ceremony and cocktail hour! They made our wedding day extra special as this was something tha...
t was on our wish list. They were extremely easy to work with and had a huge repertoire of songs and able to learn a new one that was special to us! Thank you for giving us such beautiful music on our special day!
When envisioning our wedding day, we always knew that securing the best band possible was our top priority. We had previously experienced the magic of The Engagements at my brother...
’s wedding a couple years back and had a hard time finding any other band that could possibly compare. We danced all night long to oldies of every kind, sweat through our dresses, and rocked out passionately alongside The Engagements.
Once we hired them for our own wedding, we got to know Aaron and the team even better. As a vendor, they could not be more professional, flexible, timely, kind, laid back, and genuinely the greatest pleasure to work with. Unlike many of the overly managed and produced wedding bands, they are totally down to cater to the songs you want to hear & the vision you have overall. They are truly happy to work WITH you, and guide you where needed, in order to make your wedding night the incredible blast that it should be. And boy was it a blast…
Our guests didn’t get off of the dance floor for the entire night (neither did we)! I couldn’t count the amount of times we had people coming up and telling us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen, and has been reflected on in that way innumerable times since our wedding day. They put on an INSANE performance and truly gave us & all our guests the time of our lives. It will forever be one of my greatest memories of our wedding weekend & hands down was the best decision we made in our hiring process.
If you are considering them, look no further. You found a wedding band that is different from the generic ones in the BEST way possible. Wish we could do it all over again!
Loved working with Lucy Music and Baby Soda for our wedding. Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and professional. We had great communication and everyth...
ing went seamlessly. Lucy Music made it easy to book the perfect band, and make sure everything was perfect from planning to the day of.
The band was absolutely incredible. We never wanted the night to end and all our guests were raving about them. They coached us through the song selection process, were professiona...
l and prompt, and proactively coordinated with the venue. Could not recommend them enough!!
We knew we didn't want the normal string quartet for our wedding, and Tribute String Quartet was the perfect choice. We felt at ease from our first emails with Aaron, and he helped...
bring our vision to life. They handle custom arrangements: Aaron guided us away from having too many (and not getting to enjoy them) and the musicians and their arranger brought the ones we wanted to life. We loved watching our guests have the moment of recognition for our favorite songs. The musicians we had were incredibly talented, and the music was beautiful. We highly recommend working with Lucy Music, Tribute String Quartet, and Aaron. Some quartets can play pop and rock, but it doesn't sound the same as when musicians specialize in working with that repertoire.
The Loyales were genuinely amazing. We spent a lot of time looking at bands and DJs and could not have been happier with our choice. Guests of all ages were dancing all night (even...
some who told us they don't usually like to dance) and could not stop talking about how good the band was. To this day the band is still the first thing people bring up when talking about our wedding. Some guests actually thought we booked three different bands because the Loyales were so versatile in playing different arrangements and instruments throughout the day (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception). The Loyales really brought everything that is so special about live music to our wedding and we are beyond grateful! Milton was also a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, put effort into understanding our music taste, and brought great ideas to play off what he knew we liked throughout the day. Couldn't recommend more highly!
We are so happy that we had The Loyales for our wedding day! Not only were Milton and Aaron from Lucy Music a delight to work with (through coordinating, walkthroughs, and making a...
song list), but also the musicality and energy of this group is so high. I can’t imagine many bands that could do what we asked the musicians from The Loyales to do – we had piano only for our ceremony at a separate venue, and then folk strings for our cocktail hour, jazz for our sit-down dinner, and a full band for a couple hours of dancing.
The Loyales played a great hora, hit most of our requested songs, and got everyone dancing. We wished the dancing could’ve kept going all night long!
Thank you!

We both love live music but have an eclectic mix of tastes and were somewhat struggling with how to bridge our favorites and still throw a great party for friends and family. The L...
oyales were the perfect fit - our venue actually suggested them! They played a mix of classic rock/folk/Grateful Dead plus some Taylor Swift and other more modern/2000s music (Blink 182, The Killers etc), plus a hora....it was such a fun night! They perfectly matched the energy of the crowd and everyone was on their feet for the full night.
Our wedding was over a month ago and we are still hearing from people about how much fun it was! The Loyales and Lucy Music were also extremely easy to work with, open to learning new songs and answering all of our questions. I would absolutely book them again.
We're so happy that we chose Baby Soda for our wedding band! We had a special request to have both a New Orleans style second line and a Klezmer set, and Baby Soda did both fabulou...
sly! Very professional and positive experience all around. Would highly recommend!
We booked The Engagements for our wedding in August 2024 and it was awesome! They really really rocked. People still tell us months later how awesome they were. If you are consider...
ing hiring them for your wedding/event, you should absolutely do it.
They did the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. During the ceremony they did instrumentals on keyboard and guitar. It was very tastefully done. At our request, they learned "Concerning Hobbits" (LOTR song) for our walk down the aisle. It sounded great. During the cocktail hour, they had a trio of guitar, drums, and stand up bass. They JAMMED. Multiple people mentioned to me during the hour how amazing they sounded. Finally, the reception was the highlight. They played for 3+ hours. People danced from start to finish. They played a wide range of stuff. Everyone in the band is very talented. JD Smoove's voice is face melting. The dance floor was packed all night and the energy was electric. The band also learned two special request songs for us, which meant a lot to us and made us really excited when they were woven into the set list.
Logistics-wise, Aaron is super accommodating and easy to work with. The perfect balance of letting us share our preferences while also guiding us with his industry and musical experience. The band is very thoughtful and experienced when it comes to setting up the space, optimizing the sound, etc. Everything sounded really good. They are super professional.
Overall, this band made our wedding! 10/10 would choose them again. Highly recommend.
We cannot speak highly enough about The Engagements who we hired through Lucy Music. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From their videos on YouTube to the...
ir song list - we were confident from the start, but seeing them live was even better than we could have hoped for! The song list is spot on for those who don't want the same old wedding playlist, and one of the greatest joys we had in wedding planning was creating our list of 'must play' songs and getting so excited by the number of incredible things they can play. The flexibility and willingness to learn and play some songs for us added an incredibly personal touch to it all too.
They are incredibly easy to work with and shared in our excitement, making it all a complete pleasure. I cannot thank them enough, and hiring them will be the best decision you will make for your wedding!
I hired the TSQ trio for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at The River Cafe in Brooklyn. Aaron was so easy to work with and patient with my lack of knowledge/foresight and gen...

developing a set list and schedule that worked for us. And they BROUGHT IT on our wedding day. Absolutely killed it. People are raving about the band over a month later. Aaron really made the day special for us, and we are so grateful we could have The Engagements.

ion spoke to the amazing talent each musician has individually, exceeded only by their collective ability to fill the room with the perfect compositions. They were extremely professional and easy to work with day of and in the weeks leading up to the event. Planning our own wedding in New York was pretty stressful, but working with TSQ was extraordinarily easy and the end result sublime.
Lucy Music and the band we worked with, The Loyales were absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are big music fans and wanted to make sure that we had our guests up and dancing the...
entire evening and the Loyales delivered. They have an expansive song list, and even went out of their way to learn a few of our favorite songs which made the night absolutely magical. Milton has a fantastic voice and does a MEAN Bruce Springsteen (our favorite) and Julia is truly incredible - she has such vocal range and an awesome stage presence. Not only did they crush our wedding, but they were with us the night of our rehearsal dinner, playing piano and light music during the welcome cocktail reception and absolutely nailed it. They also played our ceremony music and really did such a fantastic job. I have tears in my eyes just thinking of how incredible the strings sounded at our outdoor, barn wedding. They were absolute pros with the mic and I didn't worry once about people not being able to hear, or poor sound quality. They nailed it all. We've had guests telling us since the wedding how awesome our band was - and I couldn't agree more. OH! And on top of all that, they're truly kind people and a joy to work with. I couldn't recommend Lucy Music enough. 15/10!!!
Where to begin? If you love good music and want real touring musicians with amazing energy who clearly love to play together, these are the bands for you. We had The Engagements at...
our wedding in Kingston, NY (Senate Garage) and Aaron was a pleasure to work with from the very start. My husband has played guitar since childhood and we knew we wanted a cool band that didn't have the cheesy wedding vibes. The Engagements welcomed Sam on stage and let him shred on a Thin Lizzy song, which will remain one of our favorite memories of our entire lives. Logistically, it was also a pleasure to have them take care of our ceremony and cocktail hour music as well. We can't express how many guests--spanning 40+ years in age--have continued to rave about The Engagements: their song repertoire, instrumental skills, vocals, fabulous energy and of course their natural chemistry on stage. They are truly an immensely talented group of friends and helped make the night so genuinely warm and exciting.
Working with Aaron at Lucy Music to help book our band, The Loyales was a seamless process. Their response times were efficient and communication was clear and concise. Very profes...

We highly suggest working with Lucy Music for any upcoming wedding or event. You won't be disappointed!
I highly recommend Lucy Music! Tribute String Quartet played at the cocktail hour and ceremony of my wedding and they were a huge hit all around. We coordinated with Aaron, who was...

The Loyales killed it, and set the perfect mood at our wedding from start to finish. It started with a beautiful string quartet to greet our guests, which then flowed into our cere...
mony. And when the dance floor started, it didn't stop – our crowd included several professional musicians and a producer, and all night everyone kept telling us how good the band was. At the end of the night, people literally cheered for an encore (which they happily obliged :) If you want top 40 covers go elsewhere, but if you're a fan of 60s-70s hits like us, you can't go wrong here.
Our original wedding band canceled on us 5 days prior to our wedding in Alaska. The Engagements were available, extremely easy to work with and came highly recommended. It was a pl...
easure to communicate with them. They made the process extremely easy. Their performance was a highlight of our wedding. In hindsight, I am so glad that our original band canceled and we got to have The Engagements. Their sound and skill is truly excellent. I would recommend them to anyone who appreciates professionalism, extremely skilled musicians and a great party.
We are so thrilled that we booked Tribute String Quartet for our wedding! They performed for our ceremony and cocktail hour and so many of our guests commented on how amazing the q...
uartet was. As a musician myself I an attest that they played brilliantly and that the arrangements were excellent. We asked that they play pop music (including doing two custom arrangements for us) and they totally nailed what we were looking for.

In response to my initial inquiry, I got an email with all kinds of specific and helpful information, including price breakdowns. Once we hired them, he handled all the logistics and communication with the venue, checked in with updates, and walked us through the process of working with them (like choosing songs and the making the reception schedule). They learned songs for our ceremony and prelude, and for the reception--including two that I sang with them. These guys are serious musicians and generous collaborators. The whole band was high energy all night, guests and staff were totally psyched about them, and this bride is a happy camper!
We loved working with the Tribute String Quartet (as a trio) for our intimate Prospect Park wedding this October! We felt taken care of from the moment we started emailing them: Aa...
ron (our point-of-contact) was reassuring, full of helpful information, and professional. Their repertoire was wide-ranging, from modern to instrumental, and it was a treat to choose a custom song for the day as well.
Christina, Ali, and Emily were prompt, friendly, charming, and brought their craft into our wedding day with talent and care. We feel so lucky to have had this group as a part of our wedding day, and would recommend them for almost any context in a heartbeat.
We hired Baby Soda for our NYC wedding, and it was one of the best choices we made. Their prohibition jazz sound was exactly what we imagined for the day, and our guests loved it. ...
Plus, Aaron and Peter were great to work with in the planning process. They offered song suggestions for key moments, and we took them up on each one. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a band to really set the scene!
We hired The Loyales for our August 2022 wedding. They provided the ceremony, cocktail, and reception music. We were so genuinely impressed with the Loyales and have received so ma...
ny compliments from guests about the music. We cannot say enough good things. They accommodated an impromptu hoorah during our reception, learned our first dance song flawlessly, and accommodated our somewhat last minute request for a mini ABBA set! Everyone was on the dance floor all night. The presence of the band was exactly what we were hoping for - their announcements were seamless and not over-the-top. Communication was also easy; we had a myriad of questions and Milton/Aaron made it all straightforward in the end! Highly recommend the Loyales!! Thank you!
Hiring The Engagements as our wedding band was by far the best (and easiest) decision my husband and I made. They are so unbelievably talented - we knew when we saw their videos on...
IG and YouTube that we wanted them no matter what! Not only are they talented but their repertoire is EPIC... The kinds of songs you don't normally hear at a wedding but WISHED you did! We had so much fun going through the list and picking our "must plays", and then seeing our guests' reactions was everything! They also learned a handful of songs for us, to make our day even more special and personal, and honestly they crushed every single one.
Working with them, particularly Aaron, was such an absolute joy. They were all so kind, down to earth, professional and just overall great people! "Best band ever" was the phrase heard over and over throughout the night and it's true! HIRE THEM NOW
We hired The Engagements for our wedding this past June at the Prospect Park Boathouse in Brooklyn and it is not an understatement to say that they are the best wedding band we hav...
e ever seen and made our night an absolute blast. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night (across many different age groups) and we received dozens of compliments from our guests on how great they were. Their musical abilities and range of style are truly incredible. If you enjoy classic music from the 70s/80s/90s (e.g. Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac) then The Engagements are the band you’re looking for.
Not only did they make our wedding night special, but the band leader (Aaron) made the entire process extremely easy for us. As they had played the venue before, they also provided some very helpful tips for us to pass along to our other vendors which ended up being life savers. Aaron provided some excellent suggestions around which tracks to play throughout different parts of the evening which made the night feel very well paced. I can’t speak highly enough to his (and the entire band’s) professionalism, flexibility, and expertise. You should hire this band.
We hired The PreNups for our wedding, and wow, were they fantastic! We loved working with Ed to plan the event. We exercised the options to add in a female vocalist and a trombone ...
player, and it was totally worth it. The crew worked hard to learn our very specific first dance song (thank you!). Our guests were raving about the band the night of and in the days to follow. My only complaint was that the night went by too quickly. I now want to find other weddings and events where they are playing, so I can go dance to them again.
Thank you to Tribute String Quartet for helping to make our ceremony special!
It was so easy working with Lucy Music, and we knew we were in great hands immediately after our fir...
st email exchange with Aaron. My only regret is that, as the bride, I didn’t get to enjoy as much of the music as my guests! But our guests absolutely loved the music, which elevated and enhanced our ceremony. Thank you, TSQ!
Punctuality, personality, professionalism, and a rocking good time—The Engagements have it all—can’t recommend them highly enough!!! They accommodated all of our special requests b...

tion and flow throughout our reception that was only matched by their professionalism that day (we faced some unexpected challenges which they handed beautifully) and in the lead-up to our wedding. I could not possibly recommend them more enthusiastically: top-notch in every conceivable way!
Beyond that, the entire experience with Lucy Music was excellent- Aaron is an enthusiastic collaborator and active communicator, which is so valuable when super stressed out planning a wedding. I am so thankful we chose The Engagements and Lucy Music.
Can't recommend Aaron and Lucy Music enough. The band he found was the highlight of my wedding. They brought everyone to the dance floor for a much needed release.
Aaron listened f...
or what kind of music me and my fiancée were looking for. His responses were fast and clear, and he was a fair negotiator. The band had no problem cooperating with the ever-changing covid/social distancing rules in spring 2021.
There's not much to say about The Engagements that hasn't already been said. If the music at your party is important to you and you want to incorporate some deep cuts from the 70s/...
80s/90s, there's literally no better band than the Engagements. From their incredible song list to their absolute professionalism, The Engagements were an absolute joy to work with.
Before our wedding, Aaron took the time to talk to us about our likes/dislikes as well as answer any questions we had about how everything would work. The Engagements have a massive repatoire of songs and Aaron asked us to flag which songs we felt were "must plays" and which were "don't plays". He also asked us to produce a list of songs that weren't on the song list but which the band might be able to learn for us (they learned 4 songs off that list!). After sending those over, Aaron quickly followed up with some suggestions a little further off the beaten path that we might enjoy. He also used our second call to walk us through how the evening would unfold: when we'd enter for our first dance, when they would pause for speeches and breaks, and when the dancing would begin. Everything went incredibly smoothly the night of the party. From a vendor management perspective, we never had to worry.
When it came to the party, everything went even better than we could've hoped. My wife and I aren't great dancers, so we were nervous that the live accompaniment during our first dance might not match up exactly with the recording we'd practiced to. Well, we're happy to report that Aaron and the band played an absolutely perfect replica of our first dance song. Throughout the night, people kept asking us how we found the band since they were simulantanousely a great wedding band, yet not your typical wedding band. They got the entire party (including a few folks we've never seen dance before) out onto the dance floor all night long.
The last thing I'll add is that after the party, we had so many people request the set list that we made a Spotify playlist that's actually being used.
We were lucky enough to have The Engagements perform at our wedding this past July. Working with Aaron and Lucy Music was an absolute pleasure, and he made the entire experience s...
mooth and stress free.
I am a musician and many of our friends/guests are musicians as well. Music was a very important aspect of our wedding going into planning and we wanted to make sure we had a real band with their own unique sound to get our guests going. Upon coming across The Engagements, I was wowed by their sound and the unique song selections they offered.
We reached out to inquire about booking and Aaron was super responsive and totally open. The entire process was a breeze and he made us feel totally comfortable throughout. We also had our wedding delayed a year due to COVID and Aaron could not have been more accommodating. It really made dealing with the mess of moving our wedding all that much easier.
Their performance at our wedding was one to remember. I can't count to number of guests that came up to us during the wedding and after telling us how great our wedding band was! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast.
I can't recommend The Engagements/Lucky Music enough for anyone looking for a wedding band. They are sure to provide a unique sound for your event and will certainly have your guests dancing!
We loved working with Lucy Music to book Baby Soda Jazz Band for our wedding! Aaron was great to work with and extremely responsive. Baby Soda was so talented. Together Aaron (Luc...
y Music) and Baby Soda saved our wedding when another music vendor we had hired to play at the ceremony cancelled last minute because of the weather. We strongly recommend Lucy Music and Baby Soda Jazz Band!
Milton and The Loyales were the perfect band for our wedding in October 2021! We didn't want a DJ or "loud party music" - we wanted a fun (but tame) band that would give our friend...
s and family a great time. We found them through Lucy Music, the collection of bands that they're a part of, which was one of the groups recommended by our venue Brooklyn Winery for music. We reached out to them and sampled the music from several of their bands. The Loyales jumped out right away as the vibe we were going for. Aaron from Lucy Music & Milton from The Loyales were easy to work with throughout the planning process, from song selections to logistics. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great band for their wedding!
