Best party ever!

We hired an Emerald Empire 8 piece band, plus DJ for our wedding and it was the best decision we made during wedding planning! From the ceremony music logistics. to the jazz trio during cocktail hour, to the dinner set, EDM techno dance break out from the DJ, to the covers of all our favorite songs, Emerald Empire kept our guests entertained and wow-ed all night! Every small detail we requested, including an Avicii intro accompanied by the sax, was executed on flawlessly! No one left the dance floor, which was exactly what we hoped for. They were better than we could have imagined, and has been the most complimented part of the wedding! Thank you Andy for putting together an all star crew, we are so grateful!

Kept the Crowd Going!

Ward was our event producer and he could not have been better! He set us up with ceremony music, cocktail hour jazz, and an 8-piece band that one musician was more talented than the next.

EEB and Ward helped put personal touches in our reception throughout the night and made it seamless! They kept the crowd going and no one was ready to leave the dance floor when the night ended. Thank you all SO much!!!!

Amazing, High Energy Band!

Book Emerald Empire Band for your wedding immediately! We had their 7 piece band play at our reception and it was totally worth it. They were high energy, talented, and played all of the songs we wanted (even taking a few requests!) We also used them for our ceremony music and cocktail hour, and they MC'ed our reception - truly a one stop shop. Andy was professional, easy to work with and very responsive. They asked detailed questions about the type of music we liked and disliked, learned a specific song for our ceremony, and really stuck to our preferences. Emerald Empire Band was a highlight of our wedding day and I would highly recommend them!

Dancing the Night Away

Emerald Empire Band interacted with our guests throughout the evening (even holding babies and making friends!) and kept us dancing all night long! I was SO SAD when the night was over! Ward was so great to work with from booking to wedding day! I can't recommend him and the rest of the artists enough!

Great Band

Emerald Empire Band's music is spectacular. The vocalists and musicians are a synchronized team. They created a fun and lively atmosphere! Almost every person danced the entire evening. The band is top-notch!

Best part of our wedding!!

We always knew the band was the most important part of our wedding but Emerald Empire blew us away! We had so many guests tell us they were the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. We planned our wedding in 5 months and they helped make things easy getting lighting, MC, ceremony music, ceremony AV/mics, and reception music all through them and they did an AMAZING job.
