The Loyales truly blew us away on SO MANY levels!!! Music was our number one priority when it came to our wedding and we could not have been more thrilled with the party they created with their energy! The more chill music they played was perfectly timed and beautifully done, but the fact that they also kept every single one of our 400ish guests dancing and dancing hard was just amazing!! And it's important to say they kept everyone dancing for hours without having to pump up the crowd...that was not necessary with the way they naturally lured everyone to the dance floor. They are such a unique wedding band who we would hire over and over again!!!! It is the number one thing everyone is still talking about from our wedding...THE MUSIC, THE DANCING!

No wedding guest wants to hear another wedding party band...they want to hear the songs they've loved for years and years, but unfortunately never get played at weddings because the industry has become so one note. The Loyales are what your wedding needs if you care about music in the slightest. We cannot express our love for you all enough. We are forever grateful for the PARTY you brought to our wedding. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!"
No touching this band. They had every person in room up and dancing for 3 hours. Songs were done like it was the real band. The singers were impeccable and band people could play!!!Would hire them tomorrow if I had an event!Been to 100 weddings but this was the best beyond words. Father of Bride...."

We here at Lucy Music go to a lot of weddings, we play a lot of weddings, and we see lots of photos from weddings, but rarely have we seen an epic photo set like this. This wedding dance party starts off normal enough, with some dinner music, the first dance... Then there's a Horah, and it begins taking off from there. Someone loses a shoe, eventually there's a full love train in there at some point... but it just keeps going, and going, and going. The seats are empty all night, and there are beautiful smiles all around.
We don't normally post so many photos from the same party, but we're proud of this one, and we owe a big thanks to the always amazing Chellise Michael Photography for capturing the scope of this party, which happens to feature Lucy faves The Loyales.
Congrats S&A! --(Aaron at Lucy Music)

The Loyales made our wedding a rock n roll party that will forever be remembered by my husband and me and our guests. They were very responsive and accommodating to our song requests and then pulled some crazy awesome songs out of their pockets at the party. They read the crowd and kept everyone on their feet for hours, no exaggeration. My husband's family is from Italy and Colombia, and the Loyales were able to sing some songs from each country, which made all our guests feel included. I really could keep gushing, but I'll stop. Their presence at our wedding, made our wedding.You will not be disappointed."
The Engagements loved being a part of this picturesque wedding in Maine. Big thanks to Cairn Events! Once again Heather Quinn Cuzzi proved why she's at the top of our list of favorite event planners.Some praise from the bride & groom:
Working with Aaron and The Engagements was a true pleasure. In our entire wedding planning process, The Engagements were our favorite vendors to work with. Not only were they extremely efficient and professional in their communications, but they continually put us at ease, responding to our requests with a great deal of flexibility and understanding. Their live performance was HANDS DOWN the best we've ever experienced at a wedding (of course, we're probably a little biased). We were touched by the number of songs the band was willing to learn for us, and by how many of our requested songs they played SO incredibly well. Hearing our favorite music on our wedding day was a magical experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. The Engagements made that possible and we will be forever grateful. Use this band if you have the opportunity to do so! You won't regret it!" - J&P
We loved this wedding at one of our favorite venues, Brooklyn NY's Green Building.

My wedding was absolutely perfect, in no short part due to the amazing job by Tribute Strings. We were taking photos when they were practicing and everytime they started playing 'Where is my Mind' and 'Just Like Heaven' I just started crying.
It was so amazing.. and Final Countdown was a HUGE hit. People were cheering.
Thank you SO much for everything. We love you guys, seriously.
Check out this lovely wedding The Engagements played in Brooklyn. From the bride:
"I have been married since June and am still receiving cards from guests exclaiming how incredible the music was at our wedding! Everything about the Engagements was amazing. They are EXTREMELY talented musicians who clearly love what they do. They are true musicians and it shows! Everyone, all ages (from our 3 year old son to my 84 year old uncle) danced up a storm all night! I danced so much that I didn't even get a chance to go around to all of our guests tables!! The dance floor was packed and there were a lot of sweaty guests 🙂 My husband was very reluctant initially about hiring a band that played covers, concerned mostly that they would end up just sounding bad and cheesy and that they would not be able to play a range of music to cover the age range of our guests. I was nervous at first about hiring them as it was going to be a large part of our budget but I assure you, it was so worth it! My husband loved the music, and has singled the band out as one of the best parts of our wedding! We had absolutely no complaints. They made the night a super fun party that everyone truly loved. We could not recommend more highly this band. If you have hesitations, as it is definitely a big decision, the music for your wedding...just go for it...you will NOT be disappointed!!!" - Holly, Brooklyn Wedding,
"Baby Soda killed it Saturday night! Thanks to you and your incredible group of musicians for really delivering at our wedding celebration.
We've received nothing but compliments on our live music choice and that's all thanks to you guys. A special shout-out for leading the parade to end all parades. We loved the surprised and delighted looks on the faces of the random pedestrians and diners as a 70-person-strong parade rolled by. One of my favorite moments was rendition of "Down By The Riverside" as it echoed through the Pier 60 parking garage. Brilliant!
We look forward to continuing our dance whenever we see you next at either Café Moto, St. Mazie's or just out in Washington Square Park. Please pass our thanks on to all of the players." - Bride & Groom
