Cooper Union Band

Brennan and Cooper Union were the defining feature of our wedding (other than our love, of course). Cooper Union is not a wedding band, they are a full-scale production extravaganza. Motown, pop, soul, rock & roll—they do it all and they’re doing it WELL. The sound is BIG. I’m glad we got the full band—3 vocalists, full horns section (literally could not imagine going without). Aside from his incredible on-stage presence, Brennan was an absolute dream to work with — personable, kind, funny, and passionate. I felt like we were old friends from the moment we first spoke on the phone. Cooper Union made our wedding unforgettable. I am not exaggerating when I say I danced the whole time. They even covered an electronic song to perfection for our first dance. If you’re like me, and wedding planning is not your favorite, and you want to tick a box off the list, look no further—you can’t go wrong. Best decision you will make.

Brennan and the group were amazing! From just the initial contact, communication leading up to the wedding, and the flexibility to work with our budget, Cooper Union Band is a must hire! They are very relaxed and easy to work with. All they want is to have fun and party and celebrate with you and that is exactly what happened at our wedding. The musical talent is top notch and they know how to get people to the dance floor. So if you are looking for a band to ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF and just have a great time, do yourself a favor and book them immediately!

Cooper Union was the life of the party! We are beyond grateful to have found Brennan to work with and that he was willing to travel to NY for our wedding in the Hudson Valley. Music was important to us and Cooper Union absolutely delivered, and exceeded expectations. We had ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music all included. The band was able to learn and play all of the songs for first dances and parent dances. We had a few phone calls to talk out our music taste and the set list they put together was right up our alley. We have not heard the end of the compliments from guests and other vendors about how awesome the band was. Our only wish is that we had more than just a few hours to spend dancing and partying with the band! Would recommend booking to any and every couple. Thank you so much!!

Cooper union band was easily one of the highlights of our wedding. The energy they set throughout the night was electrifying and not once was the dance floor lacking bodies. They did an amazing job curating their set list to our musical style without us having to worry about the flow of the night. They were one of the most talked about aspect of the party by many of our guests. We cannot recommend them enough!

Cooper Union was great! Perfect for a mixed crowd of all ages!

Cooper Union was the absolute BEST wedding band I have ever seen at a wedding (yes, I may be a little biased as it was my wedding, but this is also what all my friends and fam said as well!). Brennan played and sang several songs on the piano for the ceremony, and it really made the ceremony special. He took our special requests, singing everything from The Grateful Dead, to Jack Johnson, to John Legend. His voice is absolutely incredible. And he did all this in 45 degree weather, mind you! We had a 6-piece band for the reception, and our guests absolutely loved them! Everyone was dancing the entire time, and we had an absolute blast! They sounded amazing and had tons of energy (despite the freezing cold). I would definitely recommend that you book them for your wedding! I knew I wanted a live band for my wedding, and Cooper Union exceeded my expectations.

The Cooper Union Band completely shattered our expectations! Brennan was our point of contact and was extremely responsive to our requests. We selected the 8 piece band with both a male and female vocalist. Their playlist was phenomenal and showcased music from the past 40 years! They even played a set with autotune which definitely got everyone dancing. Their performance was nothing short of fantastic. Whenever my wife and I think about our wedding day, their music is one of the first things that comes to mind. You will not regret choosing them for your wedding!

Cooper Union helped us celebrate the best day of our lives on November 26, 2022! Our guests raved about how awesome the band was both during and well after our wedding. Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

We loved working with Brennan! Our guests continue to talk about our band and how much fun they had. We didn't want a lot of "traditional" wedding songs for our reception and Brennan was really receptive to the vibe we were going for - just a really fun party!

Next level talent! Let me know when y’all play the Ryman.
