Arch City Lights

We do not have words for how incredible Arch City Lights is, and the dynamic they bring to a room. Multiple guests at our wedding could not stop dancing and did not have a choice in the matter. If you want a live band, let me simply say: it does not get any better than this. They set the vibe from their opening number by Earth, Wind, and Fire—and from that moment on, the party did not stop until they kicked us out. If you are able to book them, I cannot recommend it enough. I promise you will not regret it.

BEST BAND EVER! The string quartet made our ceremony feel like a fairytale. The reception band had great energy, and kept the dance floor full ALL NIGHT. We got so many compliments, our guests could not stop raving about how it felt like a POP CONCERT. All of the musicians were so talented and the singers were AMAZING.

We got to go to one of their public performances to see them live before booking and it immediately sold us. Their range of music, upbeat energy, and technical execution of the notes, timing, and rhythm made them stand out.

Emily was wonderful to work with. She was very organized, responsive, and flexible to accommodate what we envisioned for our wedding. Being able to book a string quartet, jazz duo for cocktail hours, and 8 piece reception band all through Emily made planning so much easier. They were able to accommodate our venue’s strict set up and take down requirements for the stage and equipment with zero issues.

They had a LONG list of songs they could play that we were able to read over and pick out our favorites. Emily helped walk us through all of the song decisions we needed to make and helped us every step of the way. They even LEARNED a couple special songs for us and played them PERFECTLY.

I could not recommend this band enough! They truly ELEVATED our wedding and made it so so much FUN!

BOOK THEM! Our guests, my wife, and I were blown away with the professionalism and quality of Arch City Lights. They are far above your average wedding band! Our guests were dancing all night.

If you're contemplating a band or a DJ––you won't regret the investment in a band... and you will not regret working with Arch City Lights! Truly exceptional. We hope we have the chance to work with them again for a future event!

Arch City Lights was key to making our wedding night an unforgettable one. They were responsive and communicative leading up to the event, took time to walk through a detailed run-of-show a few weeks leading up, and even did some emcee'ing to transition us through the night. And of course most importantly: THEY SOUNDED GREAT! All of our guests were on the dance floor for every moment that they took the stage. Highly recommend!

From start to finish, Emily and her team made our experience working with a band for our wedding seamless, easy, and so much fun! During the planning process, Emily was extremely communicative and quickly answered any questions we had about logistics, the day of, what to expect, etc. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, our event’s entertainment was perfect thanks to Arch City Lights. The string quartet at our ceremony, the jazz duo at cocktail hour and the seven piece band at reception curated the perfect vibe and we received so many complements on how amazing the music was all night long. I cannot recommend them enough for a wedding day! I truly would choose ACL 100 times over and cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and talent!

We feel so lucky to have found Arch City Lights for our wedding in Cleveland this June! They are so talented and enthusiastic, we loved them and our guests did too. Their care and enthusiasm towards their work shines through. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they were great communicators and helped us with all of our questions and concerns. We have encouraged family and friends to book them, and if the occassion arose we would book them again, too!

They were so easy to work with and were the highlight of the wedding. My guests were loving it and I got so many comments on it's the best band they've seen. Even my photographer said it's by far the best band he's ever seen at a wedding!

I've attended two weddings this year in Columbus, Ohio, both of which Arch City Lights was the entertainment and boy did they deliver! The dance floor was never empty. They catered to all ages - from your classic oldies to today's top hits. You won't be disappointed in partnering with Arch City Lights on your next event, wedding, outing, etc. They are truly the best.

Arch City Lights was amazing. I was initially a little nervous because I booked them based off a recommendation, but now I couldn’t recommend them more! Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and they knew exactly what songs to play to keep both our older and younger guests dancing. You can pick the size of band you would like for your event, and everyone is so talented. Multiple guests came up to me during the night saying ours was “the most fun wedding” they’ve ever been to, which was my husbands an my goal for our reception. Wish we could do the night again!!

We had such an amazing experience working with Emily and the rest of Arch City Lights. From the get go, Emily was responsive and very patient with us as we ironed out the venue, date, and timing of the ceremony and reception. They were able to provide live music (piano and violin) for our ceremony, followed by the full wedding band for the reception. We had some last-minute concerns about the room being too dark during the reception, but Arch City Lights was able to rent out both uplighting and dance floor lights - something that our venue could not do.

They helped keep the night on track by introducing the wedding parties, readying the people giving toasts/speeches, and handling any other small detail that came up. My (now) husband's special song request was a "1950s jazz version" of 21 Questions by 50 Cent, which the band happily accepted and absolutely nailed! We finished the night with a private last dance to Beyond by Leon Bridges, which was incredibly special for us.

Cannot recommend Emily and Arch City Lights enough!
