    ... They played the perfect set list to get everyone dancing and our professional musician friends were flat out impressed by the musicianship. There were moments where it felt more like a concert than a wedding because everyone was so mesmerized by the band. I’ve never heard a band transition so flawlessly from Bruno Mars/Taylor Swift to Rolling Stones and Motown—they were amazing! Several of my friends have already asked about booking Emerald Empire for other events. Not only was the band amazing on the day, but Richard was so helpful leading up to the event. He followed up multiple times to go over all our music preferences and the schedule, and went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. They even let one of our friends use their equipment to play a song he wrote for our first dance. Emerald Empire made our night perfect and I couldn’t recommend them more highly—they will take your event to the next level!!

    Emerald Empire played our wedding in Nashville back in August. With 100% of our guests travelling from other parts of the country, we wanted to make sure we threw them a huge party to make it worth their while. We couldn't have done that without this band! They were energetic, talented and knew exactly what to play to get everyone involved. They were a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, and if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't think twice - Emerald Empire is the only way to go!

    Amazing!!!! This band is incredible. We had the string quartet during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the music was beautiful. For the reception, we had a 7-piece band, and all our guests had a blast. These are extremely talented musicians who can play pretty much anything you want. So many people have asked us who they were and how they can hire them for their weddings too, and I am more than happy to recommend them for any type of event! They were just fantastic.

    The Emerald Empire Band was the greatest choice we could have made for a band! When planning my wedding, my Dad's #1 request was to have a band, even though they're typically more expensive than a DJ, and I'm so happy we went with The Emerald Empire Band for that choice. They made sure all of our guests were dancing all night long and having a great time. They also made sure every song we requested got played, and that everyone was having a good time throughout the whole event. In addition, every interaction we had with Richard throughout planning was so reassuring that they were going to get every aspect perfect and truly cared about our wedding being fun and perfect. ...

    ... We thought the price was fair, and we booked them! Although all of the vocalists were awesome, we requested Stefan as our 4-piece band vocalist, and we got him! He, along with the rest of the band, did a fabulous job of reading the crowd and playing the right music at the right time. We requested that the band play a classic rock song acoustically for our first dance, which Richard happily agreed to do. I made one song request at the end of the night, which they were able to play immediately... so talented! We also paid a little extra for the band to emcee for us during the reception - a great choice. We could not be happier with our decision to hire the Emerald Empire Band, and we hope we get to see them again in the future!
