The band brought our reception to life. Having a live band was my parents' dream at my wedding, and I loved the idea but had no idea who to look for. Emerald Empire was everything I could have hoped and imagined for in a band. They don't have that cheesy wedding band feel, they will take your song requests seriously, and they are very easy to plan and coordinate with.

Emerald Empire Band was perfect for our daughter's wedding reception! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! They were professional and a pleasure to work with from the beginning. The band's planning page made it easy to communicate our wishes and coordinate with our wedding planner. The music was phenomenal! All very talented musicians able to play a great variety of music. Although there was a scheduled break for the band, they adjusted and played through to the end when they realized we were behind schedule and didn't have much time left. We really appreciated that! This mother of the bride felt like we got our money's worth and much more! Super happy and grateful to have Emerald Empire as part of our newlyweds' big day!

We are still glowing from our wedding experience with The Emerald Empire. Their producer, Rob Gould was amazing to work with - Extremely responsive and helpful and kind. He seemed genuinely invested in making our event a success. The planning web platform was so easy to use and FAQs were very informative. I had complete faith in the band’s ability to help facilitate the event set up, MC responsibilities, and event flow which made me feel much more at ease while planning the wedding. They embraced a few of our out of the box ideas so that we could successfully have the day we envisioned. The day of the event, we were floored by the helpfulness and professionalism of the band. Each musician was incredible in their own right and our guests had an amazing time moving and grooving all night long. They played some of our favorite music and styles of music, wowed everyone with some amazing solos & kept the energy going until the very last song.
