    Amazing wedding music company!

    Extremely responsive, and very detailed. Went over the entire wedding arrangement and offered suggestions for improvements, a detailed song list, and an all-around great time. I highly recommend you get the empyreal string show added to your wedding reception.

    8/30/24 wedding Rockleigh

    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!!!

    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!

    WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! You are losing out on the experience of a lifetime if you do not do the Extravaganza show...

    Roman and the rest of the virtuoso artists of Empyreal Strings made our wedding absolutely spectacular. We wanted Empyreal Strings to do music for our wedding ever since my now husband and I went to a wedding of a friend where they performed...we were FLOORED at the live band and the Extravaganza show performance. Everyone at that wedding was on the dance floor the entire time, and the same rang true for our own wedding. Just to give you some context, the biggest selling point for us to hire Empyreal strings was how my husband- a shy, non dancer, was dancing the night away at our friend’s wedding. Usually I always would have to be dragging him to the dance floor- but with Empyreal Strings, HE was the one having ME dance for an extra song! The live music made everyone feel alive and there was just this electric, fun energy in the air. My husband (former fiancé) and I knew….we just HAD to hire them for our own wedding. From our first call, Roman, the owner of Empyreal Strings, was very kind, thorough, and professional. He has an incredible attention to detail. Weeks before the wedding day, he even traveled to our venue to do a walk through of the grounds to make sure everything would run smoothly on the day of the wedding. Roman’s meticulousness in making sure everything was well planned and timed really elevated EVERYTHING. He had great communication with us, and with the wedding coordinator at the venue. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly and the music surpassed our vision of what our wedding would be- our 95 year old aunt was tearing up the dance floor! Watching Roman and the other musicians perform was mesmerizing…my husband said this, (and I think it’s a good testament to who you want booked for your wedding): ‘The man loves what he does!’ Roman’s command of the music was like watching a master… We booked the string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour, as well as for the Extravaganza show with electric guitar. We opted for the DJ for our wedding, and he and the Emcee were the best... We received so many compliments saying “That was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to…”, “The music was INCREDIBLE!”, “I want to hire them for my next event!” ….If you want to have an incredible celebration, give yourself the gift of Empyreal Strings.

    Excellent Wedding Musicians

    Empyreal Strings were fantastic and very accommodating! They were able to provide music and MC for an Israeli-Russian-American wedding where three languages were spoken. They tailored the music to our requests and were able to read the crowd on the dance floor always having it packed with people. Highly recommend Roman and his Empyreal Strings team for any of your events!

    A perfect night!

    We loved working with Roman in June. The mix and cadence of music was perfect and the voices were incredible! My whole wedding was complimenting the band all night. It definitely made our wedding special.

    Amazing experience, 100% recommend!

    We hired Roman & Empyreal Strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Roman was very easy to communicate with, and didn’t get frustrated when we kept changing our minds about the ceremony music! The string quartet at the ceremony sounded absolutely stunning—the musicians were all complete professionals and so talented. The music was so elegant, and I definitely noticed some of our guests getting emotional when they were playing! Highly recommend Empyreal Strings, you can’t go wrong.

    Best Live Music Entertainment

    My husband and I hired Empyreal Strings for my wedding on 6/12/22. The music and entertainment was phenomenal! Roman and his team pulled the wedding into a success. Music for cocktail hour was classy, having a live orchestra for the ceremony makes you feel like a Queen walking down the aisle, and they were amazing at getting our tough crowd to stay on the dance floor. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the live music. The violin Extravaganza show is engaging and definitely gives the extra pizzazz! There was not a boring moment. Not a single complaint or dissatisfied person. Our American friend came up to us and said they had never seen a live band at a wedding, only a DJ, and asked for the contact for Empyreal Strings.
    Roman worked with our budget and met with us on numerous occasions to ensure our vision would come to life! Thank you Empyreal Strings team!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Roman and his band truly made our wedding night so special and so much fun. They blew away us and all of our guests, truly exceeded my already high expectations!! Roman and his team are truly talented. We had a Russian-Italian wedding and he managed to make a playlist that catered to both sides of the family and also flowed from song to song beautifully. From the orchestra for our ceremony and cocktail hour to his singers, band, DJ and MC for our reception/after party, everything was truly perfection. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and our singers were so good!!! All of my guests were raving about our band saying that this was the best band they have ever seen and some even stated they wish they could watch them perform live again!!! Our guests are still talking about the extravaganza show - truly remarkable. We have been guests at a lot of weddings and Emypreal Strings is the absolute best (and I’m not just saying that because it was our wedding)!!!

    Absolutely incredible

    I loved working with Empyreal Strings. They were the best part of our wedding, hands down, and our guests keep messaging us telling us the same thing. Roman is a pro and has an amazing team of talented, skilled vocalists and musicians. The Extravaganza Show was out of this world! Such a unique and memorable show that got everybody dancing. They have an impressive and diverse repertoire list which can be tailored to any couples' preferences. They will even accommodate special requests. We are really so impressed with them and wish we could have another wedding just to hear them play again! Thank you Roman and team for everything. You made our wedding amazing.

    Pleasure to work with

    Just had my sons wedding in August. Roman and the crew were amazing. They were everything we expected and then some. Professionalism on the highest possible level. Roman will spend hours with you to go over every little detail to make everything perfect and to our liking. Our party was beautiful and happy occasion thanks to you guys. Everyone was dancing and having a good time.

    Amazing work! Amazing band!

    Honestly, hiring this band was the BEST decision of my wedding and I would urge everyone to hire them for any events. I do not have enough nice things to say about this band and will be hiring them for any of my future events – they MADE my wedding INCREDIBLE!

    Every single person at the wedding asked me where I found this incredible group – the range of music, the Extravaganza Show with electric violins and was easily the best part of our reception. The attention to detail and quality of music is unparalleled. They can do traditional Jewish/Yiddish music, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and all the pop songs equally as well. Americans, Russians, and kids were all OBSESSED with this band, and I know if you hire them, you’ll have zero regrets.

    My wedding was on the dance floor the whole time, and it was 100% because of the quality of work by Roman and his band. They made my wedding and Roman helped me craft the perfect list, from start to finish.

    I am in love with this band and know you will be too. Even musicians at the wedding, spoke to the professionalism and quality of work. Just book it, you won’t get better service or music. Thank you!

    Roman's String Quartet is a Class Act!!

    We hired Roman and his string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were phenomenal and created the elegant and classy vibe we were looking for. So many guests came up to me after the wedding to applaud the quartet on the quality of music delivered (many of whom were serious violinists and cellists themselves) . Not only was the music top notch, the quartet played fun and modern songs during the cocktail hour that surprised guests since they didn't realize string instruments could play those songs! I'm so thankful our best man got a video of the quartet playing our favorite song "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit so we will have it forever. During the planning process, Roman was responsive and helpful while we were dealing with COVID delays and last minute changes. The song suggestions he made were perfect. We didn't need an amplifier since the sound of four string instruments was magnificent. We would choose Empyreal Strings over and over again!

    Life of the Party - 5/23/21 wedding

    We hired Roman & his team from empyreal strings for our wedding originally in 2020. We had to postpone twice and even find a new venue but Roman was very responsive and helpful. Postponing was easy working with him. The quartet strings were beautiful during ceremony & cocktail. Our MC Stas and singer Yuliya had amazing voices, we heard so many compliments from our guests. The saxophonist was awesome and his sax even lit up which was so cool. He definitely elevated the dance floor. DJ Vlad played a mix of international music - russian, israeli, spanish ,and top hits which was great for our audience. The dance floor was occupied the whole night. Lastly, we did the extravaganza show which was amazing. Our guests were raving about it all night. It brought the party together and it was so interactive. Roman and his team were phenomenal. Roman is highly organized and experienced. He meets with you to go over scheduling of the day and songs you want to have. Working with him was very smooth and I recommend to hire him & his team for your next wedding/event! Thank you so much, Love Anna & Alex

    Making Planning Our Wedding During Covid Stress Free!

    I have seen Roman and the Empyreal Strings band at multiple celebrations, so when it came time to choose a band for my own wedding, it was a no brainer. I reached out to Roman who was quick to respond, and happy to accommodate our budget and taste. Unfortunately, my wedding has been rescheduled to May 2021, due to Covid-19, but I wanted to post a review about what a pleasure it has been to work with Roman while navigating this difficult time. He responded to my emails promptly, checked into the potential dates to reschedule my wedding, and worked with me calmly and patiently as I confirmed with my venue and my other vendors. Roman has been great, a total professional, and I cannot wait to be able to post a review of the band when they play at my wedding next year!!!

    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!

    SupercaliWeddingAwesomedocious

    What an amazing ensemble of utterly professional, kind, spirited and talented musicians, djs and mcs! Roman leads them all as a true maestro and is able to bring together truly unique musical combinations. My husband and I are an Irish-Russian Couple, both 1st generation, so the wedding was an equal mix of guests with truly multinational musical tastes. Empyreal Strings hit it out of the park with the musical program: from the strings for the ceremony, the spanish guitar for the cocktail hour, the russian gypsy duo and the electric violin trio (both played during the reception and brought the crow to their feet), to the DJ Vlad Kalman and the utterly impeccable and awesome MC Koko - every single person went above and beyond on our wedding day bringing their talent and love for music and entertainment. We were overjoyed, our guests were enthralled and even the catering and serving staff came out to watch from the back because the performances were so fantastic. I am probably running out of stellar adjectives to use so I will end by underlining how incredibly glad we were to have had Empyreal Strings at our wedding and could not recommend them enough.

    Empyreal Strings came highly recommended by friends, and they did not disappoint! Guests are still talking about how great the music was three weeks after the wedding! We are so happy with how everything turned out. Definitely choose Empyreal for your wedding/event!

    Majestic and awesome band!

    I rarely (more like never) write reviews, I can't wait to write this one!. To summarize in one award- amazing! Roman and his team has made my daughters wedding a truly magical event!
    Roman and his "Empyreal strings" are a class act! Roman is tireless professional - perfectionist, who was so engaged from the moment we first met and agreed on a general plan, through meticulous and painstaking planning (Roman is actually writing a scenario of the whole evening down to a minute, where a customer could be as involved as he/she desires in selecting the songs , genres etc) to delivering a magical (I insist on this word!) performance on the night of the wedding! We are still getting so many compliments on the quality of the musicians, magnificent MCs on visual and sound presentation, the fact that musicians never left the stage, on variety of musical genres involved and on a smooth flaw altogether . The dance floor was packed till 2am. My guests were telling us they just did not want to leave!
    And of course the "Extravaganza show"- mesmerizing, breathtaking and invigorating!- wow!
    Thank you Roman, thank you Charles MC, thank you Neri - Russian speaking MC and Singer, thanks to all the singers, musicians, Alex the DJ , lighting engineer Ben, Sound Engineer Daniel, and entire band
    The end result - Majestic!

    The best band ever

    When we began our search for our wedding band, I naturally thought of Roman Teplinksy and Empyreal Strings. The band performed at my sisters wedding in 2012 and had the guests on their feet from start to finish.

    Imperial strings has everything you need. Whether it’s Jazz, International, Classical, Top 40 or the infamous extravaganza violin show, this band has it all!

    I would highly recommend you to meet with Roman and see his vision for your next event!

    Exquisite Amazing Experience

    Roman was a joy to work with. It was a very stressful time for us wedding planning and we left many details for last minute. He made time for us always and never rushed us. We spent a couple of hours picking songs and discussing the wedding. The wedding day went unvelievably well all thanks to Roman and his band of amazing musicians. From the Cocktail hour to my chuppah to reception every hour was filled with beautiful music. My guests raved about our wedding for months after and their first question was who was our band. They made sure to get guests dancing at all times. I will hire Roman for every event I have from now on. Thank you Empyreal Strings for making my wedding a night to remember.

    Planning my wedding, one of the best decisions I made was choosing this band!!! WOW. They made my wedding, period. My guests were blown away! Even my venue said that they have never seen such a performance at a wedding, and neither have I! It was like being at a concert, and yet it was very much a wedding. They made sure to keep the focus on us and made it very fun for us. I loved everything about it! They are worth every penny. The violin show was spectacular, I saw my guests’s faces, everyone was impressed, even our hard to please mothers. My wedding was Friday and it was the best wedding I ever attended, and not just because it was my own, it really was extraordinary! Don't hesitate to book them if you want a wedding your guests will not forget. Thank you Roman and Empyreal Orchestra!!
