Everyone came up to my wife and I saying they’ve never seen or experienced music performed at a wedding like what the Brass Animals did on our special day. If there was one thing our guests were talking about, it was Brass Animals. They not only executed our vision but created such a powerful impact at our wedding, creating a unique feel to the night and fueling the party. They were extremely lively, fun, and always on key ! Ben and the Brass Animal band were unreal and outperformed our expectations. The band perfectly executed what we were looking for- they pivoted between improving with the DJ while working the crowd to playing more coordinated music alongside the music (songs like Havana, California Love, Touch the Sky, and I want you back). Ben understood our need and coordinated with our DJ in advance to make sure everyone was on the same page. We had a specific vision in having Brass Animals play softer, more conversational yet fun jazz music during our cocktail hour but then to perform alongside our DJ during the reception, improving to the melody of the DJ set while engaging with the crowd. He was also really detail oriented and organized when it came to planning leading up to our wedding day. Ben was communicative throughout the planning process and beyond helpful when it came to providing us content from their previous wedding gigs. This feeling quickly dissipated when we came across Brass Animals- from the moment of connecting with them, we knew they were what we were looking for. There was a moment where we felt that hiring a band felt forced because “it was the thing to do” but we couldn’t find the right fit.

Through the search process, we either found that bands were priced at a premium, having you question whether they’d be worth it, or were affordable but only had decent reviews, appeared as mediocre, and/or lacked a “wow” factor.

My wife and I were on the fence about hiring a band to perform at our wedding because we found it extremely difficult to find one that could execute our vision and work within our budget.
