    Unforgettable Wedding Band Experience

    The Loyales played at our wedding on 9/7, and they were absolutely incredible! Milton and the band were so lovely to work with—providing helpful guidance when we needed direction and bringing amazing energy to the day. Even months later, guests are still raving about how fantastic the band was. We’re so grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped create!

    Made our wedding!

    The Loyales were genuinely amazing. We spent a lot of time looking at bands and DJs and could not have been happier with our choice. Guests of all ages were dancing all night (even some who told us they don't usually like to dance) and could not stop talking about how good the band was. To this day the band is still the first thing people bring up when talking about our wedding. Some guests actually thought we booked three different bands because the Loyales were so versatile in playing different arrangements and instruments throughout the day (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception). The Loyales really brought everything that is so special about live music to our wedding and we are...

    Best band!

    We are so happy that we had The Loyales for our wedding day! Not only were Milton and Aaron from Lucy Music a delight to work with (through coordinating, walkthroughs, and making a song list), but also the musicality and energy of this group is so high. I can’t imagine many bands that could do what we asked the musicians from The Loyales to do – we had piano only for our ceremony at a separate venue, and then folk strings for our cocktail hour, jazz for our sit-down dinner, and a full band for a couple hours of dancing.

    The Loyales played a great hora, hit most of our requested songs, and got everyone dancing. We wished the dancing could’ve kept going all night long!

    Thank you!

    15 out of 10

    The Loyales were absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are big music fans and wanted to make sure that we had our guests up and dancing the entire evening and the Loyales delivered. They have an expansive song list, and even went out of their way to learn a few of our favorite songs which made the night absolutely magical. Milton has a fantastic voice and does a MEAN Bruce Springsteen (our favorite) and Julia is truly incredible - she has such vocal range and an awesome stage presence. Not only did they crush our wedding, but they were with us the night of our rehearsal dinner, playing piano and light music during the welcome cocktail reception and absolutely...

    THE BEST Wedding Band Ever!

    My husband and I were specifically looking for a band that specialized in Classic Rock and after we found The Loyales, we looked no further. Their song list also includes Motown, Country, 80's/90's, etc. They had our guests dancing and singing for hours. We didn't want the night to end!

    We enjoyed working and collaborating with Milton from start to finish. Not only did he listen to what we wanted, but he also provided his expertise when we weren't sure about the direction we wanted to go in. All in all, it was a great and unforgettable experience. AND to top it off, Julia's voice is out of this world!

    We couldn't be happier with...

    Wonderful! Highly recommend!

    We hired The Loyales for our August 2022 wedding. They provided the ceremony, cocktail, and reception music. We were so genuinely impressed with the Loyales and have received so many compliments from guests about the music. We cannot say enough good things. They accommodated an impromptu hoorah during our reception, learned our first dance song flawlessly, and accommodated our somewhat last minute request for a mini ABBA set! Everyone was on the dance floor all night. The presence of the band was exactly what we were hoping for - their announcements were seamless and not over-the-top. Communication was also easy; we had a myriad of questions and Milton/Aaron made it all straightforward in the end! Highly recommend the Loyales!! Thank you!

    Awesome, feel-good band!

    Milton and The Loyales were the perfect band for our wedding in October 2021! We didn't want a DJ or "loud party music" - we wanted a fun (but tame) band that would give our friends and family a great time. We found them through Lucy Music, the collection of bands that they're a part of, which was one of the groups recommended by our venue Brooklyn Winery for music. We reached out to them and sampled the music from several of their bands. The Loyales jumped out right away as the vibe we were going for. Aaron from Lucy Music & Milton from The Loyales were easy to work with throughout the planning process, from song selections to logistics. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great band for their wedding!

    Authentic, Professional Musicians

    The Loyales “made” our reception. Here was the thank you I sent to them after our big day..
    I really do want to thank you all for creating an incredible atmosphere and the ability to bring real, authentic music to our wedding reception. Having a cheesy wedding band was not an option for us. The fact that we found real musicians to play at our wedding was incredibly lucky and we are so thankful you were available. Everyone loved you guys and our guests are still raving about it. You exceeded our expectations and we would love to come and see The Loyales play in the near future. We also had so many compliments on the special songs we...

    Milton & the Loyales did us right

    We spent a lot of time searching for a band for our wedding, trying to find the right combination of chops, energy and repertoire. When we landed on the Loyales' website we immediately felt the love & we knew they were it. And somehow they exceeded our expectations! Aaron, Milton and team are pros -- from the initial call to song selection to day of set up, every step was smooth as butter. So many times over the course of our wedding, we heard the same question from our guests: "Who is this awesome band?" They read the room, played perfect tunes, and got everyone dancing. And they were so nice! Love them so much, we want to go see their next show.

    The absolute best!

    The Loyales were our absolute dream wedding band. We got married in a heatwave and nobody left the dance floor till we kicked people out. Aaron and Milton were a pleasure to work with leading up to the night and we can't wait to go check out the band around Brooklyn. It was just the best dance party!

    The Loyales were a hit!

    Aaron and Milton made planning the music and flow of our wedding so easy. They really understood what we were looking for and we were so happy with every song they played at our wedding. We had numerous people come up to us after the event to tell us how much they loved them. They had people dancing all night and really read the room well! We were a little particular about our first dance and parent dance songs and they were very accommodating and played them beautifully! Book them!!

    Perfect 10/10!

    We were so lucky to have had The Loyales play for our wedding. We cannot say enough about how professional and fun our experience was. The Loyales were a huge hit at our wedding- we wanted all classic rock and up-beat funk and they definitely delivered! Milton and his band mates went above and beyond to accommodate our wedding day and song requests. We highly recommend Lucy Music and their bands for your special day. We could not have pictured our day more perfect than it was! -Samantha & Timothy Goodrich

    Best band ever!! Unforgettable wedding night.

    Milton and the Loyales were absolutely incredible. We never wanted the night to end and all our guests were raving about the band. They coached us through the song selection process, were professional and prompt, and proactively coordinated with the venue. Could not recommend them enough!!

    Great band to work with!

    We loved having The Loyales at our wedding! They play a fun mix of oldies, newer songs and even some special requests (Taylor Swift etc). We were all dancing the entire time and are still hearing from guests about how much fun they had. We also found them super easy to work with, flexible, responsive and accommodating. We really didn't want this to feel like any other wedding you might go to, but a true representation of us/our friends and family and we definitely found that with The Loyales. Would definitely love to work with them again!

    The perfect soundtrack for your perfect night

    The Loyales were absolutely fantastic! Before the wedding, they were very communicative and easy to work with, listening to our requests and delivering exactly what we had envisioned. They seamlessly transitioned from ideal cocktail hour background music to more lively hits by the end of the evening. We received endless compliments from our guests, and wish we could do it all over again!

    Book The Loyales Now!

    Our experience with the Loyales was so great. Our wedding was so great because of their music. All of our guests made sure to tell us it was the best wedding band they had heard, and we agreed! The music was great for everyone, and by the end of the night every person was tired from dancing lol. Milton was so great keeping up with us in the months leading up to our wedding with song selections and requests and just overall timelines. We cannot recommend them enough!!

    Outstanding professionals, people, musicians

    I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am to The Loyales, and how impressed I was (along with all of our guests) with their amazing performance at our wedding.

    It goes without saying, your entertainment can make or break a wedding. I've seen enough weddings where everything was perfect, but a mediocre DJ or band has most people in their seats all evening. It still puts a smile on my face thinking about our wedding and just how perfectly The Loyales turned the night into a real party - real fun, all while being just delightful and easy people to work with.

    Milton from The Loyales and Aaron from Lucy Music were a joy to work...

    Had guests cheering for an encore

    Title sums it up, but The Loyales killed it, and set the perfect mood at our wedding from start to finish. It started with a beautiful string quartet to greet our guests, which then flowed into our ceremony. And when the dance floor started, it didn't stop – our crowd included several professional musicians and a producer, and all night everyone kept telling us how good the band was. At the end of the night, people literally cheered for an encore (which they happily obliged :) If you want top 40 covers go elsewhere, but if you're a fan of 60s-70s hits like us, you can't go wrong here.

    Something everyone will enjoy

    the Loyales made the entire music planning process seamless and easy. They brought a level of professionalism that gave me so much comfort the music was something i didn’t have to worry about. Music wise they killed it, they brought something everyone could dance to, my older family friends down to my 20 something year old cousins all couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved the band

    Couldn’t have asked for better

    The Loyales were the absolute highlight of our June 2021 wedding. Coming from a music-loving family, I searched high and low for a great band to play at our reception. On the brink of settling for a DJ, the music gods brought me to Lucy Music’s website. When I listened to The Loyales play, it instantly clicked! To make things even better, Aaron and Milton were a dream to work with throughout the planning process in spite of the uncertainties that accompany pandemic wedding planning. On the night of, the renditions The Loyales put on of our special-request first dance songs (“Strangers” by The Kinks and Neil Young’s “Long May You Run”) were beautiful. After the dance-floor opened, they...

    Excellent!

    The Loyales are a pleasure to work with. During the pandemic they were flexible and communicative. They learned several songs for our ceremony without issue and the remainder of their song choices made for a great party. The reception felt like being at a concert and had everyone dancing the whole night. Highly recommended.

    The best!!

    All of our friends and family keep telling us how great Milton & the Loyales were and we couldn't agree more. I wanted a band playing with soul and from the heart, not just a group mimicking songs on the record and The Loyales delivered! Planning a wedding during the pandemic was very difficult, but band leader Milton and manager Aaron were great about communicating and coming up with a plan to keep everyone as safe as possible. They are professionals. They sounded amazing and we were so lucky to have them. They played lovely renditions of our first dance song and a couple other requests and kept the music flowing throughout the night.

    Perfect in every way

    Our wedding celebration was such a success, due in tremendous part to Milton and The Loyales carrying the mood through dinner and the reception--I can't even count how many people came up to us throughout the night to gush about how amazing the band was.
    Communication with Aaron and the whole team was seamless throughout our entire planning process, which included a lengthy postponement due to the pandemic. Everyone was easygoing, fun, and extremely professional.
    There's something infectious about the energy surrounding live music, and The Loyales have absolutely captured it. We truly can't thank them enough!

    The BEST band!

    My fiancé and I searched all over to find a non-cheesy, awesome wedding band that played great tunes (not your everyday playlist of endless pop music). We saw The Loyales play at a gig in Brooklyn and knew they were our band right away. Milton was so nice to work with and created the perfect setlist of all of our favorites (The Beatles, The Eagles, The Grateful Dead, The Bee Gees...all amazing!) We had the 8 piece band with horns for the reception and an acoustic duo for cocktail hour and it was perfect. Our guests danced the ENTIRE time and are still asking us "where did you find that amazing band??" If you're looking for great tunes at your wedding from super talented musicians, this is your band!

    Great Dance Band for Everyone

    Milton and the Loyales were exactly what we had hoped for. They were really excellent musicians - much more than a 'wedding band' - able to cater to our close friends who love to dance, but also to an older generation. Everyone said afterwards how amazing they were! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a strong, more alternative (i.e. not 'Top-40') dance vibe. It was also great to work with Milton on a personal level - he was professional, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and really accommodating. Thank you Loyales!
