    Rocked Our Socks Off!

    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!

    Thank you so much Andrew! We are so happy you guys had the best time! Congrats to you both! You were so easy to work with and we enjoyed partying with your beautiful family and friends.

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding

    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!!

    This was the most fun night of the summer! We had an absolute blast. Thank you for trusting us with your special day!

    Highlight of the evening

    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 Band's reply:

    You guys were so awesome!!!! Everyone danced the entire night! Thanks for trusting us with your big day! Best wishes to you and your wonderful families!

    Best wedding band ever!!

    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.

    Absolutely Fantastic!

    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 Band's reply:

    Y’all. Were. Amazzzzinggg!!! We had such a blast. And what a beautiful couple!! Thank you so much for trusting us with your big day! Cheers to your new life together.

    Incredible night!!!

    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!!

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    You guys were a joy to work with from the beginning. Thank you so much for trusting us to handle the music. It was so fun coordinating all of your special moments. Cheers!!

    Amazing Party!

    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!

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    Thank you so much, Morgan! Your wedding was soooooo beautiful and fun! We felt so welcome by your family and loved ones! Congrats to you and Milan!

    Professional Musicians at the Top of Their Game

    They were so fabulous and withstood extreme heat. My dad and uncle even sat in for 2 songs which was the sweetest touch to our special day.

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    It was so great working with you, Josie! Even through the heat, it was a fun time. Congratulations to you and your family!

    Book them now!

    I need more characters to provide an accurate review. These folks are PHENOMENAL! They had everyone on the dance floor, from kids to friends to parents to 85 year old grandparents! If I had to do it again, they would be the first vendor I booked!

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    Thank you, Paige! I can’t decide if our favorite part of your wedding was us or the bouncy house? So, we’ll just say EVERYTHING! Great party! Congratulations!

    Easily one of the best wedding choices we made

    Simply could not have asked for a more perfect band for our wedding. They were SO easy to work with ahead of time: super accessible, friendly, and knowledgeable. But nothing could have prepared us for how much they would truly deliver day-of. Their performance kept people on the dance floor the whole time, and they just are so insanely talented. They sounded amazing from beginning to end. We are still getting compliments about it from guests-- one of them told us she wants to fly them to Europe for her wedding she was so impressed! You get the idea: we loved them.

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    YOU GUYS ROCK! We literally didn’t want to leave! Your guests were so amazing, the scenery was incredible, and we are so happy to have been part of your big day together!

    The most amazing night.

    I can not imagine my wedding night without having Cooper Union Band there. I cannot express enough what an amazing time was had by EVERYONE! We gave them a few genres to play from and they did not disappoint. Not even in the slightest. The vibe was amazing and the TALENT WAS BEYOND. I still cant believe the level of talent that was there that night. The vocalists, the horns, the percussion, keys... EVERYONE was spectacular. They were having such good time performing! The energy was contagious. Our friends came from all over the country and they kept going ON & ON about how amazing the band was ... even WELL beyond our wedding day we were getting comments. I highly recommend anyone looking to hire entertainment for their event to choose Cooper Union Band!

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    THIS NIGHT WAS SO EPIC OMG! We had the best time with you guys! Thank you so much for trusting us with your big day!

    Wedding Party and 40th birthday

    I can’t say enough about Brennan!
    Brennan Villines is by far my favorite wedding performer of all times and even for my 40th birthday bash ! It doesn’t matter the venue as long as Brennan is playing it is a whole vibe ! His voice is incredible and his ability to sing anything will move you ! From jazz bars, fund raisers, birthday bashes and weddings he can do it all ! I would highly recommend Brennan to set the tone at any event and bring the crowd in! ( not
    To mention easy on the eyes too :-)

    Haley, I feel like we are family now since we've played for several events for you and your wonderful family, including your sister's wedding! We love y'all. Thanks for the amazing review!

    Incredible and talented!!

    Cooper Union playing at my wedding truly tied everything together. They are so talented and made the ambience of the entire day so romantic! Everyone could not stop raving about how incredible they were. They are so versatile and accommodated all of my requests. On top of that, they really know how to get everyone on the dance floor and start a party! I cannot recommend them enough - the most talented musicians in Memphis!

    Cooper Union Band's reply:

    Our ears are still ringing from the most amazing, elegant, wedding in Memphis. From ceremony to the dance floor, it was a huge success!
