Brass Menagerie is a ten-piece stage band from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

We also feature great band tributes such as the Beatles, Chicago & the legendary Motown Sound - even some great Sinatra/Tom Jones type show-tunes. Our audiences always have fun and you can customize the playlist however you wish for weddings, themes and parties.

• 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 -- John B, Ellsworth, WI, 10/8/2011
• It was a pleasure to have Brass Menagerie as a part of our wedding reception! All of our guests loved the music. We couldn't be happier! Thank you so much. -- Rachel B, Wausau, WI, 9/10/2011
• 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! -- Jazmin H, Sioux Falls, SD, 12/11/2010
• 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.
