    Hire this band ASAP!!

    When I got engaged, really the only thing I initially cared about was a live band. We found The Element through Cleveland Music Group and I am SO HAPPY we did! I think they know every song that has ever been recorded - their setlist is insane. The dance floor was packed the entire night and the energy did not stop! I already have 2 friends anxiously awaiting their engagement so they can book with Erin!!!

    The Element ROCKED!!!

    Coordinating with Erin and The Element was so easy. Went over details, got to know us a bit, and threw in little touches from those conversations to make our night even more special. We had a handful of questions come up and Erin was always ready with a quick response for us. Even letting us borrow a mic stand for our ceremony that the venue didn’t have. Erin was so helpful and personal and really set the tone for us.

    For our cocktail hour we asked for a jazz trio set from some of the band and they hit the vibe right on the head. We were taking some photos still and I was worried I’d miss it, but their tunes filled the whole grounds so I could smile and tap my toes without messing up any photos.

    For first dances we found a song we loved for the father daughter dance but nothing stood out for our song nor the mother son song. We sent them a song for each occasion asking if it was something they could pick up and they delivered for both. Not only nailing the songs, but also helping to trim out some of the more depressing lyrics from our mother son song so it hit the points we wanted without killing the mood.

    From there, the band took it away and there wasn’t a toe in the building that wasn’t at least tapping. Prior to the day we shared their set list with some close friends and family and everyone commented how broad yet deep their playlist went. And day of they tied it all together so well. Every generation in attendance had something to sing and dance to, and EVERYTHING sounded so good.

    Dj’s are nice, but everyone I’ve talked to since the big day is buzzing about the band.

    Amazing band

    The Element was the most incredible band. They were so easy to work with and truly understood the vibe of the crowd. No one wanted to leave the dance floor! I would highly recommend using them for your wedding!

    The best decision we could've made for our wedding

    We hired The Element for our wedding. Tony and Erin – these two are something else. The talent? Top-notch. Their ability to read and work the crowd? Unparalleled.

    What stood out to me wasn’t just their musical prowess, but how they seemed genuinely invested in making our night special. It wasn't some cookie-cutter performance; they brought a unique vibe that felt tailored just for us. And when it comes to getting everyone on the dance floor, these guys nailed it.

    If you're on the fence about which band to pick for your big day, do yourself a favor and go with "The Element". they won't disappoint.

    Do it, book The Element!

    The Element elevated our wedding to the absolute max. They were amazing to work with before our wedding by answering questions quickly and kindly. We met and planned beforehand so we knew what to expect but still have some fun suprises along the way. They allowed my now husband to play a few songs with them and it was the highlight of the night! People were on the dance floor all night and singing along at the top of their lungs. You will not regret booking The Element for any event. They made our wedding night the best night of our lives! Worth every single penny!

    Look at rockstar husband of yours! We had such a blast getting to party with you. Thanks for letting us be a part of it. :)

    A special ~element~ to our wedding day

    My husband and I are so glad we choose the Element for our wedding day! They added such a special element to our wedding day! We loved the live music and the band was amazing!! They brought so much positive energy and beautiful music to our day. Our guests have been raving about them!!

    If I could give The Element more than 5 stars I would!!

    We were recommended to The Element from another band which says a lot. From the moment I spoke to Tony I knew they would be amazing! He was able to calm any concerns I had about noise level of a live band in a confined space, he provided a detailed list of all their songs, and he was super responsive and communicative. They also allowed my husband to play 2 songs with them and it was a HIT!!! On wedding day they delivered above and beyond what we expected. The music was great, they were engaging, professional, and FUN! We got so many compliments on the band and the music they played. EVERYONE DANCED! Couldn't recommend them more!!

    Thanks for trusting us with such a special night! Michael KILLED it with the band! Thanks for sharing him with us! 😉

    The most fun band you will find

    You don’t need to read this entire review. If you are considering hiring a band for your wedding, hire The Element.

    We had the opportunity to see a handful of different bands to decide which one to go with. While all of them were musically talented, there is not another band in Cleveland that can match the level of fun that The Element provides. They not only played our first dance and parents’ dances to perfection. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say the three hours of music and dancing at the end of the reception were the most fun 3 hours my wife and I have had in our lives.

    The lead singer, Erin, was also the music coordinator we worked with. In addition to being professional, she is the friendliest, most upbeat person we worked with in the entire wedding planning process. We met in person for the first time right before the reception, and it felt like seeing a friend. We knew from working with her and seeing the band in person they would be fantastic, but they were better than anything we could have imagined. Having Erin and Tony both as singers gives them the ability to do both male and female vocals seamlessly.

    If you are going to have a band at your wedding, let me make the decision for you. Your band is The Element.

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

    I had hired The Element for my September wedding and I have to say, it was the best choice I ever made throughout my wedding planning process. My first interactions with Erin were amazing and she was extremely responsive. Then meeting Tony in person, was wonderful. He helped guide my husband and I with recommendations for the day of timeline. I knew I was in great hands because this band knows what they are doing! I still have been getting a ton of compliments about the band. Lots of people have been saying it was "The best band they had ever heard" and it made me so happy! The dance floor was never empty and they knew all the hits to keep the crowd so engaged! You need to hire The Element for your wedding! Best band ever!!!!!

    Perfect wedding band!!

    The Element was the absolute perfect band for our wedding on July 9. We truly can't say enough good things. The music selection was spot on and the dance floor was full the entire night. The band remembered everything we requested (a specific last song, the overall genre and vibe of the music) and even learned a special song for our first dance (which they totally nailed). Even now that some time has passed I'm still so impressed by their professionalism and how engaged they were in our whole day. A few specific examples that were so appreciated by me and my husband (and all of our guests):

    The band (and especially the band leader Erin) went above and beyond by learning our parents names and using them throughout the night. My mom really loved this.

    After one of the speeches mentioned listening to Queen in the car with my middle school soccer team, Erin put on a brief clip of "we are the champions."

    The morning after the wedding, Erin sent a handful of pictures and videos she had taken throughout the night and a reel she made for Instagram.

    I would also be remiss to not mention that they are excellent musicians - at one point one of the band members was even playing piano and saxophone at the same time.

    The Element was one of the highlights of our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone!

    Awesome Party Band!

    I hired The Element for my wife's surprise birthday on August 19, 2022. Prior to the party, I sent Erin, the band's lead singer, a selection of songs from the band's extensive song list. The band literally had the dance floor packed the entire night! Erin and the entire band helped make the surprise birthday party a huge success. Thank you!

    It goes without saying, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Element!

    Band for wedding reception

    I cannot say enough good things about having The Element perform at our wedding! Erin was so fun and easy to work with from the beginning. The band has a wide variety of songs they could play. We received so many compliments from our guests- everyone absolutely loved the music. I truly believe the band is the main reason hardly anyone left the party early and so many people were on the dance floor. Highly recommend!

    Thanks Hilary! It was such a beautiful night. We had so much fun with you all :) We were happy to be a part of it!

    Best Wedding Band EVER!

    I truly believe that the music makes the wedding, so from the first moment of planning I knew I wanted a band that would set the tone for the night. We hired The Element through Cleveland Music Group and they delivered in every way. Erin Rossi was incredible to work with while coordinating for our wedding and made for an excellent emcee that kept guests engaged (not to mention, her voice is absolutely incredible!!) The band built a perfect setlist based on our style and the dance floor was packed ALL night. Many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and that was in large part due to the band. I'll also note that we used CMG for our ceremony sound and photo booth, and both were executed flawlessly. From coordination to delivery, The Element and Cleveland Music Group absolutely ROCKED. I'd highly highly recommend them for any wedding!

    Rock you or serenade you!

    Amazing as expected! We had the chance to hear this band play at a wedding a few years ago, and we just knew we wanted them to perform at our wedding when the time came. We chose the 5 piece band per Erin's recommendation based on our venue / guest count, and it could not have been more perfect.

    Erin made the stresses of wedding planning a breeze and assisted us every step of the way. The last thing you want to stress over is the fun stuff such as the music, entrance songs, or if the band will say your best friend's name right.

    The Element even took time to learn the songs for the first dance, father-daughter dance, and mother-son dance. This extra service, makes the special day even more special.

    We received compliments the entire night from a variety of age ranges. This band will rock you or serenade you, depending what you're looking for!

    Thank you to the entire band from Tiff and Zach

    BEST cleveland band around

    Tony, Erin and the entire band were absolutely amazing. They performed at our wedding and our guests couldn’t get enough. The dance floor was mostly packed the entire night. They were so easy and fun to work with. HIGHLY recommend them for any event.

    Absolutely amazing

    Choosing The Element as our wedding band is one of the BEST wedding decisions we made! They are hands down the best band I have heard perform at a wedding and our wedding day was no exception. They have great energy, their set list was perfect, and they kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end. We received countless compliments regarding how wonderful our wedding band was and we could not have imagined a more perfect reception thanks to The Element. They were great to work with before the wedding as well; quick response time, helpful, and totally professional. I cannot recommend this wedding band highly enough!

    The Element is the band you want!

    Could our reception music and vibe have been better? Emphatically NO! This is the second time we have used The Element for a wedding reception and we were not disappointed. Tony and the band listened to the bride and groom's ideas and requests and followed them to a T! Once the guests got on the dance floor they never left and boy did we have a good time. I am so happy they were available for our party and will definitely call on them again.

    We also used Kerry for music during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was just the right sound for both and so easy to work with as well!

    Goat wedding band

    From start to finish, The Element was EVERYTHING we wanted in a wedding band and more. Lead singer Erin and Cleveland Music Group was easy to work with, quick to respond, and made us feel so special from first contact. We were provided with multiple opportunities to see them live before making our decision and Erin even came over when we came to see them just to welcome and congratulate us. The band was also incredibly accommodating giving us a say in what was played and having no ego whatsoever about me (the bride) wanting to perform a few songs with them. As for the talent, it doesn't get better than The Element. I come from a family of musicians and we are critical and particular- The Element did not disappoint. Erin's voice is liquid gold and every musician is perfection. The band created the entire amazing vibe for our reception and people never left the dance floor. All of our guests were floored by this band, many saying "best wedding band I've ever seen!" I could not agree more. If you're debating DJ or Band, trust me, hire a band, and make sure it's The Element! It will be worth it!!

    NO WORDS! The Element is amazing

    I don’t have words for how thankful we are for The Element and the Cleveland Music Group. The band made our entire wedding night. I really wanted a wedding with a lot of dancing and we got that, thanks to Erin and the Element. The dance floor was full all night! Every member of the band is so talented and amazing. Choosing the Element was our second best decision (besides getting married 😊). All night long guests were mentioning how great the band was and asking us who they were. Erin is also a great emcee, keeping everyone engaged and helping us immensely in scheduling and coordinating our speeches and introduction. On top of their amazing performance the night of – Erin was an absolute pleasure to work with during the planning process. She was extremely responsive, friendly and competent in all of our communications. We researched and went to performances by other bands during the planning process, but we both knew from the beginning that we wanted the Element. Can’t recommend them more!

    Also, the Sonata String trio did an unbelievable job during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Their music is absolutely beautiful and they were easy and friendly to work with!

    Worth every penny!

    Having a Wedding Band was one of our "non-negotiables" for our wedding day but we were shocked at how much it actually cost. When we heard about the Element from Cleveland Music Group and saw a few of their videos, we knew we HAD to have them. Erin and the band made our wedding day one of the most fun days of our lives. All of our guests had so much fun and said it was one of, if not, the best weddings they had ever been too (and it wasn't because of the centerpieces!) It was because the members of The Element are entertainers! Erin and the band were sure to involve guests, play all of the songs we asked them (before the big day). They even learned how to play the song we chose for our first dance and played it perfectly. Even guests that were not big dancers showed up on the dance floor for a few tunes. They also helped with our wedding day timeline which helped relieve some of our stress and responsibilities while keeping the party moving. Make room in your budget and you won't regret it!

    Danced all night!

    We were so happy about our experience working with Erin and The Element. Erin was so supportive throughout the planning process with words of encouragement and flexibility in our song choices (we picked a few songs from our first dance/ father-daughter dance not on the song list, and her team made no issue of learning it for us and performing beautifully) . Our guests danced the night through and had so much fun, and Erin also kept our reception on track by MC'ing our toasts, family blessings, and more. BIG thanks to this band.

    Highlight of the night!

    We could not have made a better decision when we asked The Element to perform at our wedding. Since we first reached out to them, Tony was so pleasant and accommodating, making the whole process a breeze. Their set list is huge and extensive with a fantastic range of classics and current hits. Tony was great in letting us tailor the setlist to our taste and dance floor antics, with him and Erin crushing vocals all night! We had so many comments before the wedding on how awesome it was that we got The Element and even more after the wedding saying that it was the best live band our friends had seen at a wedding. We could not be more thrilled to have had The Element at our wedding!

    A night full of dancing!

    Erin and The Element Band were fantastic!! Our guests continue to tell us how much fun they had dancing the night away. The Element did a great job keeping the dance floor crowded and were also so accommodating throughout the planning and wedding day. We mixed in traditional Greek dancing songs throughout the evening and had a special performance by a family member, and The Element did a great job making sure all of the transitions happened smoothly. It also meant a lot to us that Erin took the time to work on pronunciation of our bridal party members' names (which can be tricky!) in the months leading up to the wedding.

    I would highly recommend The Element to any couple who wants their wedding to have a crowded dance floor with guests of all ages!
