    Spectacular! Breath-taking! Memorable!

    Spectacular! Breath-taking! Memorable! We hired Empyreal Strings for our wedding in San Francisco and couldn’t be happier with them! Roman and his string quarter played during our cocktail hour, ceremony, and at an Extravaganza Show during the reception. For starters, working with Roman and his team is emblematic of true professionals. Coordinating logistics with them was straightforward and they were very responsive and accommodating to all my questions and concerns. When we had an image in mind, their helped make that vision a reality, and when we needed guidance (such as picking processional music), they were there with recommendations, suggestions, and advice. For cocktail hour, they created a classy environment that elevated the whole experience. During the ceremony, they created the meaningful and emotional vibe we were hoping for. As for the Extravaganza Show – WOW! We were speechless and our guests were in awe – everyone has commented on how spectacular the Extravaganza Show with electric instruments was! The music selections were so varied and catered to all the audiences - movie scores, Top 40, Jewish/ Russian music. You name it, they can do it! Not only is the show captivating, but it is also interactive. We loved dancing around and with them as they created a fantastic party! Everyone was up and out of their seats, dancing and celebrating. If you are looking for something irreplicable that will have your guests buzzing, book Empyreal Strings! You will not be disappointed. They were a highlight of day and shaped memories that we will carry with us forever!

    So helpful

    Roman has been SO HELPFUL helping us rearrange our wedding since Corona. He rearranged his schedule, and has been communicative, open and honest through the whole thing. I wish all vendors were like him. He didn't charge us any extra and has been completely understanding and very very helpful. Thanks Roman!

    Outstanding!

    Roman’s band was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning as well as one of many highlights of our reception. The harpist playing during the guest entrance was the perfect touch of class and elegance. Roman was extremely helpful in helping us decide on music for our bridal party to walk down the aisle to…song selections that matched our wedding vision. The “Extravaganza” Show was a show-stopper. Not only did the show demonstrate the the exceptional talent of Roman and his team, but it got everyone out of their chairs and on the dance floor. We have only the highest praise for Roman and his performers. Roman was extremely responsive and accommodating. He made sure that he was providing everything we requested. We (and our guests) look forward to having Empryeal Strings at our future events!
