Perfectly set the mood! Could not have been happier!

We are so happy that we had The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn at our wedding. They were responsive every step of the planning process, learned a requested song for our processional and did a beautiful job accompanying our ceremony and coctail hour. There was a huge rainstorm 15 minutes before our ceremony started and we were nervous that our guests would be miserable. But we heard from multiple guests that they were feeling cozy and romantic standing under the tent and listening to the band. Know that The Blue Vipers were out there setting a lovely mood for our wedding was all we needed to relax. The processional song they learned for us was perfect. I felt like we were in the best hands. Highy recommend!

the guests were dancing within first 10 minutes!

The band was great! There were some last minute changes to our schedule, including rain, but they casually went along with the changes. They are a stellar band. Our son plays guitar, and after he performed one of his songs, one band member actually let him try his electric guitar! It was really cool. Also, they dressed up very nicely and fit the mood for a vineyard wedding.

Classy & Beautiful

After seeing the Blue Vipers at a friends wedding, we instantly knew that we had to have them for our own nuptials; boy did they not disappoint!

Throughout the planning process, the band manager was so responsive and willing to work with whatever crazy idea we had. They even made sure that the dance we were learning for our first dance matched perfectly to the band’s rendition of our song.

Each member of the septet were consummate professionals, and musicians. Our guests could not stop raving about them, and their extensive repertoire. They brought an inimitable sense of class and panache to our event, and I know that our family, friends, and ourselves will be talking about the Blue Vipers for years to come!

We cannot recommend the band more highly, and encourage anyone who is thinking about booking to just go ahead and do it immediately- it is a no brainer, and they are guaranteed not to disappoint!

They were MAGIC!

These musicians were pure magic--setting the tone for our Friday night welcome dinner with class, fun, joy and talent! So many of the guests came up to me and said what a magical night it was and what an amazing band we had. They learned a song for my 94-year-old grandmother, and when I brought her to the dance floor to be serenaded by the band, she glided across the floor grabbing five different men to dance with from the crowd! I've never seen her happier and the music transported her to her days on the dance floor as a young girl. It might be my favorite moment of my whole wedding and we could never have done it without the Blue Vipers of Brooklyn! If you're looking for something special, timeless and a little different for your event, you simply cannot go wrong with The Blue Vipers. I cannot wait to find another way to work with them again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Memorable Musicians!

My husband and I hired the Blue Vipers to play at our cocktail hour of our wedding at the Weylin on May 18th. We had never heard them live but fell in love with the online videos. We were so pleased that they sounded just as perfect LIVE as they did on their videos and offered a unique and fun vibe to our cocktail hour. I had a couple of friends recognize them from playing around NYC which was incredibly fun to have such noteworthy musicians play for us AND my cousin who has played in bands in NYC for over 30 years reached out the next day to specifically ask about the VIPERS as he was so impressed with their style and performance. The Blue Vipers are a sure thing! We are so thrilled that we had them there on our special day.

A very very good band!

These guys were not only great to work with in the preparations surrounding our wedding, they sounded just great at the event. Song after song of high quality music making, and even in a room of professional musicians, everyone had only high compliments for The Blue Vipers. Highly recommended.

Super talented & amazing value

The Blue Vipers are so talented, and really made our intimate wedding so special. We went to see them in Jersey City, at their regular Thursday night gig, and they were everything we wanted - excellent musicians, playing relaxed and fun 20's and 30's inspired music. We hired them for our 5 hour wedding at Frankie's 457, Memorial Day weekend, and they were troopers about an unplanned downpour, so nice and accommodating throughout the evening, and just a pleasure to set listen to as a background to our day. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Amazing and classy, different than what you’d typically hear at a wedding

The blue vipers of Brooklyn were exactly what we wanted for our wedding! Our guests loved them and the entire vibe of our wedding thanks to them, it was classy and laid back, no cheesy wedding music that you hear at most weddings. Everyone loved them!
