Thank you ETA for making my wedding so much fun! I can't tell you how many guests contacted me after the wedding to let me know what a great time they had. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception the music never lacked. You truly helped to make my wedding memorable for all.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this band. Finding a band was one of the wedding jobs that my (now) husband volunteered to do, and once he heard this band play, he stopped looking and hired them immediately!

Throughout the planning process the band and manager were responsive to our e-mails, helpful and flexible. They kept us calm, assuring us that they knew what they were doing, and they sure did.

We were absolutely delighted by ETA at our wedding. They learned our first dance song and sung it wonderfully. Then they played a great mix of classic wedding songs and contemporary hits. All night long we had guests coming up to us saying, "I can't believe they can cover X song!" We were on the dance floor, our guests were on the dance floor and we were all disappointed when the night had to end.

The best part is... the price for this band is very reasonable for the area. We've attended a lot of weddings with $10k and up bands, and ETA was better than all of them. We will (and already have) happily recommend them to all of our friends!

ETA was the best band...they came highly recommended from family members who already used them. We did not want to go with anyone else and were fortunate enough to have them at our wedding. We could not have asked for a better band to "rock the house" at our wedding.

ETA was recommended to me by a dear friend and they were hands down one of THE best elements of our day! We planned our wedding from across the country & relied on recommendations from friends & reviews. Rocky & his band got our guests up & dancing right from the start and continued through the evening. Susan was extremely helpful getting everything lined up beforehand and very responsive. We've since recommended them to friends and were at a wedding recently where they performed. Highly recommend!!

ETA ROCKS! They were the BEST band in the whole entire world. Seriously. They were so good that there was actually an encore. I've never been to a wedding where the band got an encore. They rocked.

Honestly, they made my wedding day. I can't say enough about how amazing they were. I originally didn't want a band because I was worried they wouldn't be able to play the music that I like. But after hearing their samples on their website, I was hooked, and I let my grandmother win. But it was a win win for both of us because they were so incredible!

There's not question about it- ETA is an excellent band. All of the musicians are talented. The music is great and the singers can really get guests on the dance floor. My issue with ETA is that they took a break at a bad time. I was ready to dance and guests were getting antsy. I wanted the dancing to start up again, but the band was on a break. Of course, a band should have a break. However, The band had an hour break before the reception. The ceremony and the first 30 minutes of the reception were performed by another musician, so ETA only needed to play for part of the reception. I was still paying them full price for the whole evening, so I expected that they would take the break. Nevertheless, I would still recommend ETA. I would just be sure to speak to them about breaks BEFORE the event to be on the same page.
eta music responded with the following comments:
We appreciate this clients recommendation of eta music and we were glad to be a part of such a special event.

We worked very closely with this bride because it was an Orthodox Jewish wedding and there are many traditional rituals. The band was there the entire time , allowing the Israeli musicians not only to use our equipment but help them set up and stood by them during their performance to make sure that all their needs were accommodated. The band followed the caterer's cues for all of the timing. Out of the band's control, the prayer called the Sheva Brachot,(7 blessings) also known as the benching, brought everyone outside for more than a half hour with an hour left in the wedding reception. The band began playing immediately as soon as the guests starting coming in and the reception was over shortly after.

We always encourage a timeline of scheduled events so that we can meet all expectations.

Eta is a talented wedding band who will keep the party jumping!! My frustration was with them not following through on promises...such as claiming certain people were going to play on our wedding day, and having alternative people instead. This is a very common problem with the wedding band industry, so I suggest if you are going to hire any band for your wedding, that you get all of your promises on paper in a contract. Also you may want to be clear about how many breaks your band is allowed to take. Other than that they were a lot of fun...even if they didn't stick to our hand selected playlist of songs...
eta music responded with the following comments:
We take a lot of pride in the open lines of communications with all of our clients. We are very surprised and disappointed to read this clients review (and more than 6 months after the wedding reception.) We work closely with all of our clients on every detail and all that goes into making a great event. As stated in this review, we kept the crowd jumping and the client and guests seemed very pleased. We made every effort to meet the couples needs with regards to budget concerns, song selection, musicianship and timing. We have had an impeccable track record over the past twenty years and approach every event with the highest standards.
