Just Excellent

We used this band 15 years ago for my daughter wedding and I can state that performance of this band made it a great success. Since that time we attended multiple events and observed various bands, DJ, etc. None of them were even close the Empyreal Strings. This year my son got married during Labor Day weekend. It was not even an option to explore other options. We did the right choice and the wedding turned out a big success. We got multiple phone calls thanking for the event especially for the professional performance of the entire band. Finally, band owner helped us to create scenario with all details and time line. Everything was done as scheduled.

Wedding Band Review

Hiring Empyreal Strings was truly a great experience. After our wedding, at least 10 people came up to us and said how much they enjoyed the music. One person even came up to the violinists can said that they should be on America's Got Talent due to how creative and unique the extravaganza show was. Overall, we had an amazing experience and would recommend them to anyone.

Amazing Wedding with Empyreal Strings!!

Roman and his team of musicians went above and beyond to make our wedding incredible for us and our guests. Roman was extremely organized and responsive to our needs when planning the event and the program was beautifully curated with excellent taste. From communication and planning to the event itself, everything was timely and done to the highest level. Our guests were blown away by the musicians, especially the Extravaganza Show, and had an amazing time dancing. We loved working with Empyreal Strings and could not recommend them enough for all events!

Amazing!!!

Empyreal strings did a phenomenal job with greeting our guests, playing music for cocktail hour, following our very specific ceremony wants/needs, performing an unforgettable dinner show and of course entertaining our guests the whole night. Roman and his team were able to incorporate American, Jewish and Russian music into one event flawlessly. The extravaganza show blew everyone away as always. It was such a pleasure to watch them perform. So much energy and talent! Love them!

Roman is an absolute genius and his expertise for classic and beautiful music shined through on our special day! My family and friends won’t stop talking about how amazing the music was especially the extravaganza show! Roman truly made it a wonderful experience from the moment we met I knew I was in great hands until our big day. Roman was extremely organized, responsive, attentive to many small and intricate details and full of wonderful suggestions and ideas. Roman provided excellent repertoire lists and accommodated songs that were not on them as well. He listens and if you do your homework you will get an excellent result. My husband and I are eternally grateful for the everlasting memories we created together. Beautiful work and singers of course were amazing too!!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, truly I cannot recommend this band enough and will keep in mind for all future events. Thank you!!!
