We could not have asked for a better band. Very easy to work with and responsive. After the wedding, everyone had commented that the music was amazing!!! We had the best night ever, and so happy we decided to move forward with the Engagements!

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 were 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!

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!

We booked The Engagements for our wedding in August 2024 and it was awesome! They rocked the house! People still tell us months later how awesome they were. If you are considering 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 awesome 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.

Logistics-wise, Aaron is super accommodating and easy to work with. 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. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From their videos on YouTube to their 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 wish we could give this band 10 stars - 5 just doesn't seem like enough! Hiring the Engagements for our wedding was the best choice we made in all of 2023. My husband saw them play at a friends wedding several years ago, and we are so grateful, honored, and thrilled that we were able to get them for our wedding as well.

These musicians are seriously TOP NOTCH. As a professional musician myself, I wanted to be sure I was hiring a band that actually plays together regularly, not just some random NYC wedding band - which there are A LOT of. Don't be fooled by the comparatively small number of reviews here on Google or elsewhere on the internet. It's because they are a single band that can only be in one place at one time. Most wedding "bands" you see in NYC are actually just a hodgepodge of musicians hired by a contractor who throws people together at the last minute. Seriously, sometimes they are calling singers/instrumentalists the week of the event! Sure, those are all super talented individuals, but if you want your wedding music to sound just as good, if not BETTER than the recordings you like, then you need to hire a band that plays together all the time. Most "wedding bands" do not fall under this category. The Engagements have played together for years, are rhythmically tight, perfectly balanced, fun, energetic, and can do ALL of your favorite tunes from the last 70ish years of recorded music. They are especially perfect if you love music from the 60's, 70's and 80's.

Aaron was an absolute pleasure to work with, from our first call through the end of the wedding night. We hired the 11-piece band for the reception, and Aaron graciously agreed to DJ our Spotify playlist for the ceremony and cocktail hour. (We did blow our budget on the reception music, hence the recorded music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, but it was MORE than worth it!!) They let us select exactly which songs we wanted to be played at the reception. They learned several songs for us, including a Brazilian tune ("País Tropical") for the beginning of the party and even agreed to have one of my Brazilian friends play guitar and sing with them on it. They learned "Don't Look Back in Anger" by Oasis for us as our last song for the night. It was so epic! They ALSO snuck behind my back with my husband and surprised me by letting HIS band play for a couple of songs during the night!

It was a huge party. Everyone was dancing the whole night. My 90-year-old Aunt who had leg surgery this past Spring was up and dancing! Truly, we loved getting married, but the best part of the night was their music and the dance party! I only wish that we could do it again...

Our heartfelt thanks goes out to Aaron and the Engagements. HIRE THEM!!! You won't regret it.

The Engagements blew the roof off our wedding in Brooklyn. They kept the party going all night. They knew exactly what to play and when. Their song catalog is massive and they were also willing to learn additional favorites. Aaron was an absolute pleasure to work with. Leading up to and during the event, he made us feel comfortable and made the whole planning process easy. Many of our guests told us that the Engagements were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I can't say enough about Aaron and The Engagements. Beyond being excellent musicians, they brought our wedding to the next level. Their energy, spirit and vibe made the night extra special. The guests were raving about the band for weeks afterwards. What more can I say? A thousand stars.

The Engagements were a natural/easy choice for us for our wedding celebration. Being music lovers ourselves, we really wanted to find a band that conveyed our love of music. What better choice than professional touring musicians!?Aaron ,the band leader, is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is extremely thorough with communication of details and has a unique flare for curating a set list that feels individualized and special. He even remembered a song I had mentioned in conversation that I thought would be fun for our cake cutting.The Engagements have SO MANY songs to choose from and really went the extra mile to learn specific requests for songs we wanted on our playlist. They were excellent with keeping themselves a surprise from our guests and even the groom. Everyone is still raving about the music from our wedding. They definitely have something for everyone to enjoy and it’s not the same tired playlist from other bands. EVERYONE will dance!! They specialize in the deeper cuts. If you are a music lover I highly recommend them! We could not be more happy will our decision to have them play our wedding. Also, I recommend getting the horn section! You won’t regret it!

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 pleasure 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.
