Lucy Music

y. If you are in NYC I highly recommend seeing them at St. Mazie and then having them at your event.

r it. Six months later, our wedding guests are still talking about how amazing they were and how it was just like seeing a concert by your favorite band. Not only do The Engagements sport an incredible song selection of 80s pop and new wave, they're amazing musicians and performers and they're just great to work with. They learned songs that were meaningful to us and played the most epic of epic horahs. The small combo they put together for our cocktail hour was fantastic too. My wife and I have nothing but positive things to say about the Engagements, and I've got my fingers crossed for an excuse to book them again sometime soon!

n count how many people came up to us throughout the night to gush about how amazing the bands were. Communication with Aaron and the whole team was seamless throughout our entire planning process, which included a lengthy postponement due to the pandemic. Everyone was easygoing, fun, and extremely professional. There's something infectious about the energy surrounding live music, and Lucy Music has absolutely captured it. We truly can't thank them enough!

own the aisle to "Take on Me" by A-Ha (his first choice was "Take My Breath Away" but I thought it would be too slow...) and I walked down the aisle to "God Only Knows." When you book them for your wedding, the package includes one original arrangement, so I asked for Sufjan Stevens's "Chicago" to be played during the cocktail reception. Having live music at our wedding was really important to me and Tribute String Quartet did a beautiful job. My communications with Aaron in advance of the wedding were excellent; he was very flexible and communicative, as we planned our wedding during the pandemic.

ue to the pandemic. They were AMAZING. We’d hire them for anything. Everyone danced the whole night. Highly recommend!!!!! Every guest raved about them and it was a breeze to work with them. Also want to shout out Adam who hooked us up with the right band for our special night. Thanks again Lucy Music!!!!

- their talent is undeniable and we are so grateful they were there to help us celebrate our wedding. They were thorough and flexible when needed - working with our vendors seamlessly and creating a playlist that was authentic to us. We couldn't recommend them more and look forward to hiring them again for another event!

nd even play some of it, although not particularly well). But being super into music, it was the one thing that we were extremely picky about when planning - and for some time we thought that what we wanted might not actually exist. Enter The Engagements. From the moment we saw that song list, we were in love. Throw in some YouTube videos, rave reviews, and a super collaborative band leader to be in touch with, and we never looked back. From start to finish working with them was the easiest and most exciting part of our arrangements. Communicative, clear, flexible, enthusiastic and stone cold awesome musicians - they really met us where we were at and gave their all to give us everything that we requested. Because of the venue, there was some logistical stuff that made it necessary for things to be kinda fluid and never once was there anything but positivity on their end. Dare I say, they were the centerpiece of our wedding. Besides the fact that they're phenomenal and we loved every single moment of them, the feedback from guests was also overwhelming. I cannot count the amount of times somebody asked us "where did you find this band?!" or "This band is amazing/awesome/incredible!" We also learned that friends of our parents were cooler than we thought when it turned out that they are huge fans of Bowie, Talking Heads, Prince. etc. Someone that I had never heard used expletives remarked something along the lines of "how the **** did you get a wedding band to play The Replacements?!".   And the answer is simply that The Engagements played at our wedding and because we asked them to please play Can't Hardly Wait they did, and it was phenomenal, and everybody loved it. Listen, It's only been several days since our wedding, and (as we're waiting for transport to go have some fun) we needed to speedily let you know about how extraordinary this band is and how we are already trying to think of an excuse to throw another ridiculous party just to be able to do this all over again. Cheers to The Engagements, the way that they sound-tracked our wedding exceeded all expectations and will help us always remember it as fondly as we already do.

enre (mostly 80s, 90s music). My husband plays guitar and had a great time talking music and set list with them. We primarily worked with Aaron and Emil who were fun and helpful with suggestions for our first dance and parent dances while also being flexible (and excited) about accommodating a few of our requests. We felt that we were in good hands from the time we started working with them all the way through to the big day, where they were just fantastic and one of the top highlights. Our guests loved them too and many said it was the best band they'd seen at a wedding, and are still talking about them even though we got married almost a year ago. The Engagements exceeded expectations in every way and my only piece of feedback is that they should perform in more public venues so we can see them again.

n mind if that is something you require for your wedding as well! Now, on to the meat and potatoes!!! This band is INCREDIBLE!! Not only do they bring down the house with their amazing set list, but they work with you to make the song list personal. I was looking for a band that played music I actually listened to and The Engagements nailed it! For us they played Queen, Bowie, The Clash, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye, and heck they played the The Cure so hard my face melted off! They learned Tainted Love as a surprise for my mom, and they learned BTO for my dad on top of their already full and eclectic song list. It was beyond personal! They play the music you actually WANT to hear at a wedding, not the music you expect to and are tired of. They will work with you to find a set list you love and will have all of your guests screaming with joy, “OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!”. All of our guests loved them and spent the whole night dancing and telling us how great the band is. It’s been 3 months, and we are still hearing about how great the band was at our wedding! They really nailed the favorites. They played so many warm and nostalgic songs, the type of songs that you forgot you loved and immediately need to hear again. Every song was a hit with our crowd, every song had them singing along even when they were taking a dance break, and it just gave the whole party something truly special. The whole band is so talented and easy to work with, it was the perfect soundtrack for our day. They made the whole process so effortless and Aaron could not have been more helpful. He is so professional and knows exactly what to do and work with all the vendors to make everything flow seamlessly. No need to fuss over details, just trust in Aaron and the Engagements. They know what they are doing and get it done. Don’t just take this from a Bride, take it from someone who has been in and at dozens of weddings, this band is something special. They are frankly, the best. If you love music, you’ll love them. BOOK THE ENGAGEMENTS.

music to life made my dreams come true. Their performance was masterful, in particular their command of the songs I asked them to learn. I had their version of "Vitamin C" stuck in my head for about a week after they played it. The RAM covers were absolutely brilliant. The band was so good that they made me regret not hiring a videographer for the reception. The band was universally loved by our guests. Aaron was a pleasure to work with. I knew we would get along from the moment I saw Devo on his setlist. Responsive, accommodating and genuinely enjoyed being a part of the event.

how amazing they were! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a strong, more alternative (i.e. not 'Top-40') dance vibe. It was also great to work with Milton on a personal level - he was professional, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and really accommodating. Thank you Loyales!

a cheesy wedding band was not an option for us. The fact that we found real musicians to play at our wedding was incredibly lucky and we are so thankful you were available. Everyone loved you guys and our guests are still raving about it. You exceeded our expectations and we would love to come and see The Loyales play in the near future. We also had so many compliments on the special songs we asked you to learn and play for us. They were beautiful. I’ll never forget our three year old dancing and singing to “Rolling on a river” at the end of the night. That was quite a highlight. She still sings it to this day. You made our day and evening seemless and beautiful, and for that I can’t thank you enough. You all make it seem so easy :). Please stay in touch. Sent from my iPhone

several wedding guests tell us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard—they were raving for weeks. Six months later, we still get compliments. Even in writing this review I wish I could go back and bust a move to the engagements tunes! The engagements were recommended to us and from the moment we spoke to Aaron, the manager, we knew we had found an exceptional band. Aaron is incredible to work with. He was responsive, helpful, kind, and patient. Each of the band members was extremely kind and cool too. The engagements went above and beyond: in addition to playing our requests from their lists, they learned each and every one of the special-request songs that were not on the list. This included a lesser-known 70's tune that has special significance for us and made us practically fly with happiness. We were on cloud nine the entire night because of this marvelous band. If you are lucky enough to get the Engagements, do not let the opportunity pass you up. They are sui generis and will make your wedding an epic celebration!

the Cure, and 80s hits. I got tons of compliments from attendees. And the bad was easy to work with. Nellie

ot leave the dance floor once", "How did you find these guys?!", and "I wish they were at my wedding" were thrown around all night. As for their professionalism and customer service, TOP NOTCH. Aaron from Lucy Music was communicative and really went above and beyond. He hopped on the phone with me several times to review logistics, custom options/add-ons, etc. And I really got the sense that he cared about the overall vibes of the wedding we we're looking for. I also had the pleasure of working with Ed, the bass player/leader of The Prenups. Ed was nothing short of incredible. He worked with me throughout the entire planning process in order to ensure the band played everything how we envisioned. He ensured the band nailed the vibe depending on where we were in the night (soft instrumentals during the ceremony, an acoustic unplugged set during cocktail hour, and full on rock n' roll party during the reception). And by far the coolest thing Ed facilitated was allowing myself and my own bandmates to play a few songs dedicated to my wife. 'Did you have to bring all your equipment to your own wedding?' NOPE! Ed and the band were cool enough to let us borrow their stuff. Again, another example of the amazing customer service/dedication to making everything as easy for us as possible. Ed also learned 3 songs in the matter of 2 days for us as my bass player couldn't make the wedding! 5 stars out of 5, two thumbs up, three cheers, whatever you want to say we LOVED working with Lucy Music and The Prenups. I will be singing their praises for the rest of my life and will be recommending Lucy Music to anyone looking for live entertainment at their wedding or event.

that we were able to request a custom arrangement which made the night feel even more special. We look forward to another reason to book them again!!

e so easy and flexible to work with - and added some great ideas to the vendor walk through to make the party flow - love love love working with them - they invited us to a show they were doing prior to the wedding and it reinforced they were the right band for us - One of the best decisions we made for the wedding

ce, but would rather hear the Talking Heads and Prince than another mediocre cover of "Get Lucky"—then The Engagements are the best wedding band you can hire. They have multiple excellent singers, so they can credibly cover an incredibly wide range of music well. Aaron is a great band leader who has assembled a top notch group, and he is attentive to your needs, will take song requests, and will even perform a song with you if you want. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the band was. I loved them so much, I'm thinking about getting married again just so I can re-hire them.

traditional wedding sound. We loved their repertoire and everyone at the wedding absolutely loved them.

e band around Brooklyn. It was just the best dance party.

rom the start, providing detailed and thoughtful responses to all the many questions I had. Vocalists John, JD, Heather and Emil were all amazing - each member brought their own unique sound/vibe and they play together perfectly. They have a big repertoire of songs, but were also able to learn several "wishlist" songs for us and they executed them so well! I knew having a band would be the biggest splurge, and it was SO WORTH IT.

ight and our friends still haven't stopped talking about them. They have an awesome repertoire but they even learned a few special songs for us. Hire them. They will not disappoint!

nce "Dream a Little Dream of me" which was truly magical. They were very professional and a pleasure to deal with. Several guests were asking about them after the wedding. They're the best, book them and you won't regret!

trio from the band for our cocktail hour, to late into the night with The Engagements band for our 100 guests. I’m a music lover so once the venue was picked, the band was the next most important decision, as they set the tone for the whole night. We did an extensive search. Every step of the process with Aaron of Lucy Music was a joy. He made the contract, communications for song selection, and the day of the wedding, a breeze. A major reason we choose The Engagements was not only a great song list from the 80s, but that they play them with passion and authenticity. They sound amazing! We had considered an 80s cover band that felt almost more like a concert rather than being there for your party or another that were cheesy with silly costumes. The Engagements are talented musicians, often touring artists, who we were lucky enough also do this. They actually agreed to even learn several songs for our wedding upon our request and nailed them! You would think they had performed them for years. All our guests had an amazing time dancing all night. Friends and family, who are musicians, said they were the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding. After the stress of wedding planning, we were ready to have a good time. Having The Engagements at our reception was the perfect wedding gift to ourselves. The Tribute String Quartet (we actually used a trio) set the tone for the whole event right from the start, playing unexpected string-covers of 80s hits as our guests sipped on drinks before our ceremony and played Beatles and Beach Boys for our ceremony. Lucy Music did everything we asked and more. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

down the aisle to a 1920s jazz band playing "Dream A Little Dream of Me." We also really appreciated their fair pricing and professionalism. Highly recommend!

absolutely electric when they are playing. They turned our reception into an all-out dance party and our guests will not stop talking about how fun and awesome the band was. Milton really tried to get to know us and our musical taste and crafted a set list that suited our wedding perfectly. I really cannot recommend them highly enough. If you are looking for a band for any event or occasion, you could not go wrong hiring the Loyales.

en at the wedding, there was nothing we got more compliments on than the band. The music was fun and upbeat, perfect to dance to but not so overwhelming that you couldn't have a conversation at the same time. When my dad and I wanted to do a dance that wasn't on their song list they learned it and performed it beautifully. I can't recommend them enough!

ular. They performed during the wedding, the cocktail hour and for dinner and dancing. Each of these performances was a little different, perfect for that moment. They honored the original artist's songs while also adding their special touch. We would highly recommend the Loyales for anyone we meet. Music is such an important part of our lives and integral to any wedding, without the Loyales, our wedding wouldn't have been as special as it was.

that can sometimes be crazy). We loved the acoustic set during the cocktail hour, and the horah was legendary. Plus they played some Grateful Dead. All in all, well worth the price and happy to support great people and musicians.

We had created a planned first dance and they helped us nail it! We cant wait to have another reason to book these guys again!! It was such a great wedding party and so much of the credit (and compliments from our friends!!) goes to the band!!

ilton and his band mates went above and beyond to accommodate our wedding day and special requests. We highly recommend Lucy Music and their bands for your special day. We could not have pictured our day more perfect than it was! -Samantha & Timothy Goodrich

about how special they made the evening. The music was fun, lively, and perfect for the event. Peter and the band instinctively knew what sort of music would work - shifting from subtle background music to attention grabbing party music. They were easy and flexible when it came to equipment and space, and all around great to work with. Aaron, of Lucy music, booked them for us and was great and flexible. He was able to work with us to make sure we had the right sound within our budget, and did everything possible to indulge a few silly special requests from us. I highly recommend working with Baby Soda and any of the Lucy Music bands.

ional. Their arrangement was great - I definitely cried - and the guests remarked how great the String Quartet was during cocktail hour. They were very professional and as a musician myself, I highly recommend them!

orming at :)

ony. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and classy quartet!

o books music for films and TV (and knows the whole world of NYC music) recommended them unequivocally. He was 100% right. Aaron and Milton made everything super easy right from the start, and they were very responsive by email and by phone. They'd never played the venue before, but it didn't faze them at all. I wanted to have a small ensemble for the cocktail hour and then a more rocking band for dancing after dinner, and they put it together perfectly. They've got a huge repertoire of music, and played to the mood of each part of the night beautifully. Most importantly, the dancing was awesome -- everyone had so much fun. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

e Loyales, who read the crowd well and totally rocked out. Aaron and Milton were very communicative and helped us through the whole wedding band booking process (something we knew nothing about). They offered a structure that worked well for our ceremony+reception and we had a range of live music for hours. When the venue rental and gig was over, our guests starting shouting "one more song!" and The Loyales played an encore, which was awesome.

ection so much fun to choose from, and the whole experience was really easy and seamless. The Quartet even learned "Happy Together" by the Turtles for the end of our ceremony to make it even more special. I would highly recommend TSQ and Lucy Music to anyone planning their wedding!

nd The Engagements were delightful to work with from the beginning, great with communication, and they were really receptive to learning some special request songs. This is a group of SUPER talented musicians, who are total professionals, and we could not be more thrilled that they played at our wedding. Our friends and family are still raving about how much fun they had dancing the night away. So awesome, thanks again for everything guys!

would expect to hear via the strings, which would typically be classical pieces. What we love about TSQ is that they are versatile enough to play familiar, popular music that can cater to any crowd. For example, hearing a Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye song on the strings. Guests LOVED the musical twist! It was different, but relatable. Not only this, but we had a special request to have a singer possibly accompany TSQ for the wedding party/bridal processional and Aaron was more than happy to oblige. He merged TSQ with a singer named J.D. Smoothe from one of the other bands he books. The resulting rendition of John Legend's "All of Me" still has guests talking about it more than 3 months later! We had never heard the rendition until walking down the aisle, and was definitely more than pleased. We appreciated Aaron's kindness, flexibility and patience all around with planning, and truly appreciate the talent of the wonderful musicians. TSQ and J.D. Smoothe's joint performance definitely added that something "special" to our wedding day and they are highly recommended!

d all night and we had a wide range of musical tastes in attendance. There are also great MCs in the band!!! We worked with Aaron in the year leading up to our wedding and he made everything a breeze. He asked all the right questions and made perfect suggestions. We had no idea what worked and what didn't work to keep the night on track and engaging--luckily Aaron is a pro at this. The band also learned a few songs we requested that weren't on their list and played them with gusto. Hire them!!!

en found ourselves in front of the band dancing with our hands in the air! Band was very accommodating and great to work with day of wedding. • Cons: Response time wasn’t often as quick as we’d like but a few follow-ups got us what we needed.
