Excellent performance! It was a joy to work with them. They made the wedding a real party! They accommodated very well to a change in venue and circumstances due to rain. Big Mike is awesome.

Art Gallery Opening•Reviewed on August 22, 2022•From Minneapolis, MN
I highly recommend booking the Brass Menagerie! Exceptionally talented musicians and fair pricing. Sue, the band manager & coordinator was very accommodating to our events needs, listened, and communicated well! I had booked a jazz trio for a private dinner & art gallery opening per request of the featured artist. Our guests absolutely loved the ambiance The Brass Menagerie created and our event was quite the success!

Thank you, Kit! Our Jazz Trio had a great time performing at your event and were treated extremely well. If you find yourself in need of musicians again, please keep us in mind!

Private Party•Reviewed on January 22, 2020•From Minneapolis, MN
Our organization was celebrating our 100th anniversary. The band's selection of music moved effortlessly from the 1920's to the 1960's to the 2000's with ease. They had a full sound and got the audience on the dance floor. Attendees raved about the band. My only regret is that I did not hire them for 3 hours but only 2. Everyone had a great time! Will definately consider hiring them again!

Brass Menagerie was amazing to work with for our wedding. They made it so easy from start to finish. They provide us with a list of their songs and we were able to pick the music for the entire wedding from this list. Our guests absolutely loved the songs and the music. Our guest range was from 4 years old to 91 years old and everyone was dancing and singing along with the band. The entire band were true professionals from the first time I met them to when they were leaving. They made our wedding so special and our guests are still talking about the band.

Brass Menagerie did an excellent job performing at our wedding and were extremely accommodating to changes or quotation that came up before the wedding. On the night of the wedding they really got the crowd going and we received multiple compliments from guests on our band. I would highly recommend Brass Menagerie to anyone for their wedding or event.

They were amazing!!! I would totally hire them again for an event. We had a wedding, and the venue coordinator told us at the end of the night they had never had so many people on the dance floor before. This band knows how to entertain!

Hands down the best band! They had the dance floor rocking all night, kept the crowd engaged, and got rave reviews from all of our guests. An extremely talented group that was very easy to work with. We will be looking for any excuse to book Brass Menagerie in the future!!

Restaurant Event•Reviewed on September 6, 2015•From Excelsior, MN
This band is amazing, inwould certainly recommend booking them if they are available. Our location booked them about 3 months ahead of their performance and it was most definitely worth the wait! They filled the room and then carried it all night.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 7, 2014•From Okoboji, IA
Their website does not do this band justice. I booked them on a friend's suggestion, but to be honest became a bit weary after going through all the media files on their website.
All my fears melted away as soon as they began their 3-piece jazz set. It was perfect background music to cocktail hour and dinner. Then when the rest of the band came on, the dance floor lit up. the band was tight, had great energy, and cast a spell on everyone in the room from Grandpa Jim to my 2 yr old nephew... everyone was getting funky.
Ron was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend the band to anyone looking to have a good time at their reception.

Ron and the band was super professional and easy to work with they sounded great and were super friendly to us and our wedding guests on and off the stage they played fun music, the only complaint I heard was that I didn't book a big enough Dance floor. I'm still getting complements on the band. They were really just a nice bunch of people and came with absoluty no drama. They definetly made our wedding fun and didn't add stress.

Brass Menagerie was absolutely over the TOP AWESOME. They played their hearts out for 3.5 Hours and only took 1 Break!! But the music is what sets them apart. Its hard to say this about a band but they made the Minneapolis Club even more classy and elegant. They Rocked it. Thank you so much. Roseanne and John, Book this band!

Brass Menagerie was excellent. They were accommodating and personable. As per our request, they started our wedding reception playing softer, easily listening, jazzy tunes and then after dinner played dance tunes that everyone loved. The dance floor was packed the whole reception with guests from 18-80 years of age. I highly recommend this band for your event. Thank you to the band for being a highlight of our wedding that friends and family of ours are still talking about.

WOW, what a band. I am so glad we found Brass Menagerie for our wedding reception. They exceeded our expectations which were high to begin with. During the evening our guests kept coming up to us and asking where did you find them, what is their name, they are so good etc.
Even the wait staff said they are one of the best live bands they have heard at their club. From young to old they are definitely a crowd pleaser.
Thank you so much for making our night so memorable!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on October 10, 2011•From Ellsworth, WI
Brass Menagerie receives 5/5 stars for being professional, accomodating, and talented. We would definitely recommend (5/5 stars) them to anyone looking for a fantastic band, whether for a wedding, 50th anniversary party, or any occasion requiring a band that plays a variety of music that appeals to all generations. We were extremely satisfied with their performance (5/5 stars). The lead singer engages the crowd which gives their performance that personal, humanistic touch. They played for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary at a venue that has a small stage and dance floor, however the acoustics were fantastic, and there was space fo 10 band members plus dancing

THEY WERE WONDERFUL!!!!!!
*The only reason that my husband and I gave them all 5s is simply because we could not rate them any higher. They were so great, they even braved a winter blizzard to drive to our location out of state! They were accommodating, professional and GREAT performers. The music was wonderful and we had LOADS of compliments on the band (one of my friends that is engaged was even asking questions on them).
I would HIGHLY recommend the Brass Menagerie to anyone!

brass menagerie was the hit of my wedding! The variety of songs satisfied just about every guest, and everyone commented on the quality of their playing. The M.C. made the bouquet/garter toss and grand march hilarious, and they were even able to accomodate to some of my guests polka requests!

Brass Menagerie made our wedding reception exceptional! They had everyone on the dance floor, from our youngest guest at 2 years to our eldest at 80. They were absolutely the most professional, talented, highest quality band and we would hire them again in an instant! Talented musicians that can perform myriad genres of music sure to please any crowd. Our guests loved them (as did we)!! Definitely will recommend and hire again for our next party.

My brother had hired the Brass Menagerie for his wedding 2 years ago, and when I got engaged they were one of the first vendors I booked. They did a fantastic job at my wedding as well. They played music that all generations could dance to and enjoy, and did a wonderful job learning our special request songs. Thanks Brass Menagerie!!!!
