ABOUT
The Engagements is an “alt-wedding band” based in Brooklyn, NY, known for inspiring unforgettable dance parties. Irresistible chemistry underpins this cover band's high-energy, personalized sets of live dance music, full of 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s songs.
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 live wedding band.
The Engagements covers songs that haven’t been played to death at weddings, and always has fun doing it.
