“Cooper Union playing at my wedding truly tied everything together. They are so talented and made the ambience of the entire day so romantic! Everyone could not stop raving about how incredible they were. They are so versatile and accommodated all of my requests as well. On top of that, they really know how to get everyone on the dance floor and start a party! I cannot recommend them enough.”

“Cooper Union is phenomenally versatile! They are wonderful to book for private in-home parties, cocktail receptions and big band performances for weddings and galas. Great attention to detail, professional, and so fun to work with! Do yourself a favor and book them. You’ll never want to work with anyone else!”
Betsy McKay - Salt Style & Events
“I can not imagine my wedding night without having Cooper Union Band there. I cannot express enough what an amazing time was had by EVERYONE! We gave them a few genres to play from and they did not disappoint. Not even in the slightest. The vibe was amazing and the TALENT WAS BEYOND. I still cant believe the level of talent that was there that night. The vocalists, the horns, the percussion, keys... EVERYONE was spectacular. They were having such good time performing! The energy was contagious. Our friends came from all over the country and they kept going ON & ON about how amazing the band was ... even WELL beyond our wedding day we were getting comments. I highly recommend anyone looking to hire entertainment for their event to choose Cooper Union Band!”
