The Engagements is an “alt-wedding band” based in Brooklyn, NY that plays a lot of 60s, 70s, & 80’s dance music, plus rare soul and Motown.

Originally created to play at a picky (musician) friend’s  wedding, this cover band has since entertained for weddings and parties of every size and ilk.  Along the way, the group has built a reputation as a unique alternative to the typical wedding band.

The Engagements covers songs that haven’t been played to death at weddings, and always has fun doing it.

“The eleven instrument swappers who crowd The Engagements’ stage can do straight-up hits, but they’d rather be rocking ‘This Charming Man.’” – New York Magazine

“Anthem-slayers.” – TimeOut

“The premier ’80’s-covering wedding band.” – Paper Mag

The Engagements players have logged hours in the studio and on the road with the likes of Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, Steely Dan, Harry Belafonte and Mali Music, Kat Edmonson, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Robin McKelle, French Kicks, David Byrne, Slick Rick, Morgan James, The Sweet Divines, John Forte, Mobb Deep, & Aloe Blacc.
