About

We are a wedding cover band based in Brooklyn, NY called The Engagements.

Catering to couples looking for a unique alternative to the typical, cookie-cutter wedding, we cover Motown, rock, soul, 70s, 80s, 90s, plus a smattering of 2000s to now. Our set lists are full of songs that haven't been played to death at weddings.

Comprised of a group of professional musician friends, our band members have toured in the bands of some recognizable acts - from Michael McDonald and Michael Buble, to Sharon Jones and French Kicks.

We're an actual BAND, we love playing together, and we're constantly tweaking our set list to keep it fresh.

Check out our videos - we cover songs by Human League, Eurythmics, Al Green, Michael Jackson, Hall N Oates, Tears For Fears and more...

Contact us about our availability and we'll send you an info packet with a song list, and answers to FAQ's.

The most phenomenal band out there!

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!

They 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.

Their range, sound, energy, and talent will make any wedding a night to remember. This is NOT your average, cookie-cutter wedding band. This is a band that will surprise and delight your guests. We had 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 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.

Thank you, Engagements! You made our wedding the party of the decade!

They made our wedding!

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.

Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

The Engagements are a phenomenal band to have at any wedding!!! They were super responsive to us during our planning phase, Aaron the point of contact and drummer is very friendly and easy to work with. Their professionalism and adaptability were first class through the entire process. One of the vocalists had to be on the other side of the country the day of our wedding and they offered to have him fly back for the day just to do our event!! These guys will go the full mile for you and then some.
