Amazing band!

These guys are amazing! Erin and The Element made our night such a dream. They are so incredibly talented and kept the party going all night. They worked with my husband and I so that we could sing and get in on the fun with them. I also can’t overstate how different the mood is with a live band. It’s so much easier to dance to a band, and your guests will love that! You feed off of each other’s energy and everyone has a blast! We had so much fun with these guys!

Best band ever

The Element was a huge crowd pleaser for our wedding! We received numerous compliments on the band, and I cannot express how amazing they were from planning to the actual day. Our dance floor was packed the whole night, and I did not sit down for one song!
It is worth it and much better than a DJ. There were interactive and Erin was a great MC.
I hope to find an excuse to use them again for a different event very soon!

Amazing Band! Book them now!!

Tony and Erin and the band are outstanding entertainers! They packed the dance floor all evening - so many great songs played by true musicians! Non-stop fun, happiness and great music filled the venue.

As the Father of the groom, Tony and I planned a secret surprise for the wedding couple - Dad got on stage with the band to play a song on his saxophone! Truly allowed new memories for all ❤️ such a gift.

The Element Band- CLE Wedding Review

There aren't enough words or thanks we can give to the Element Band for playing and emceeing our big day! My husband and I got married earlier this month and Tony & Erin, along with 6 other band members, performed at our wedding. We cannot recommend them more!

From the start, Tony was very informative and detailed on what they would be able to do- from the different packages, to instruments they play, all the way to the entire song list they could perform. Tony sat down with us a couple weeks before the wedding and went into extensive detail of how the whole day would work. He helped us figure out our ceremony processional, introduction/first dance/special dance songs, studied the whole wedding party… literally not one detail was missed! Not to mention, the band will learn a couple songs to make it feel extra curated and special for you! We were a little nervous leading up to our wedding day, but after sitting down with Tony, we felt immediate relief that him and his team would deliver!

We ended up having them be a part of our entire day! Tony along with another band member played live at our ceremony, they had a DJ setlist during our cocktail hour, light instrumental dinner music and of course, the dancing music with the full 8 member band! Ourselves along with our guests said they were one of the best bands they have heard not only at a wedding but anywhere, hands down!

Erin ended up emceeing most of the day and she was absolutely amazing! A very lovely person with true excitement that made all of the wedding formalities truly special! Above all else, Erin & Tony and the instrumental band members are EXTREMELY talented artists. It absolutely felt like we had our own personalized concert with all our favorite songs and favorite people. Tony, Erin and the entire Element Band, thank you for spending the night with us… it was incredible and unforgettable! - Allie & Evan

The absolute best experience and amazing band!

Elements Band absolutely made our wedding unforgettable! They were incredible from start to finish — the energy, talent, and performance were beyond anything we could have hoped for. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night long, and weeks later our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was. Tony was so professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process, which made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you want a packed dance floor and an unforgettable party, Elements Band is the way to go!

The Element curated the PERFECT vibe for our wedding

The Element was the best choice we ever made for our wedding. We knew we wanted a live band and our wedding planner recommended a few options. After listening to The Element, I knew they would bring something special. They accommodated special requests, they included our guests in every moment, and they made me and my now husband feel like superstars. Erin as our MC kept the evening flowing nicely and Tony on the sax (among many other instruments) got the people GOING!!! We are so grateful to The Element for making our reception a night we will NEVER forget. Thank you!

More Than 5 Stars – The Element Made Our Wedding Unforgettable

We truly cannot say enough great things about The Element. From the very first conversation, they were exceptional communicators—responsive, kind, organized, and clearly invested in making our wedding reception unforgettable. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process, and we knew we were in the best hands.

On the night of the reception, they absolutely blew us (and our guests) away. Not only was their performance phenomenal—every song perfectly chosen and flawlessly executed—but they also read the room with incredible sensitivity and professionalism. Erin (the lead singer and primary contact) seamlessly rearranged the schedule in real time to keep the event flowing beautifully. Their sound mixing, energy, and musicality were spot-on from start to finish.

What truly set them apart were the personal touches: they joyfully incorporated our young nephews into a song, invited the father of the groom up to play guitar, and even learned a special request last minute just for us. These moments made our night feel magical and deeply personal.

We could not recommend The Element more strongly. If you’re looking for a band that combines extraordinary talent with warmth, flexibility, and heart—this is the one.

Wedding at Blue Heron

The Element made our wedding night the party of the summer and probably 2025! Tony was a great partner during the pre planning process and made everything so easy! Once the big night came, the band was professional, classy, vibrant and brought the event to life. From emcee parts, soft dinner music, to the big party anthems…beautiful sound and awesome entertainment. 10 out of 10. If you are reading this, go book the Element right now!
