This band was everything and more than we could ask for from our wedding band! From the start the band was quick to respond to our inquiry, booked with us despite the late notice (it was our 3rd wedding date thanks to Covid-19 and we planned it all in 3 months), and very helpful with all the planning and prep beforehand. They were so flexible and I loved that we could choose how many band members we wanted to hire! My head was spinning with all the details and planning, but Kelly, our main contact, made sure we stayed on track and were ready to go on Wedding Day! On the day, the music and energy was superb! The dance floor stayed packed! They accommodated all of our requests and even added some great suggestions that we utilized for moments we were unsure of what to pick. Not only were all our guests having a great time but from my perspective the band was too! We have some great candid shots of the band smiling and laughing along with us. They avoided all the specified music we requested that not be played and even took special requests from the guests, which was fun for everyone! This resulted in one of our favorite memories of the night - the band played "Time of My Life" from Dirty Dancing and my husband played the role of Baby and his Groomsmen played Johnny. It was perfect and unscripted and will live on in our memories (and wedding pics/video!) forever! Truly, if you are into awesome live music, dancing, having a great time, and working with kind, honest, flexible, talented, and fun people - you've found your dream band with Emerald Empire Band. We are so so pleased to have found and hired Emerald Empire Band for our Wedding Day - thank you all for making our reception one to remember!

Emerald Empire Band was one of the best vendor decisions we made throughout our whole wedding. Their high energy performance had everyone on the dance floor the entire night (even my grandparents!), and, even two months after the Big Day, I have guests reaching out to tell me that this was the best wedding band they have ever heard. They curated an amazing set list - from the live dinner music that made us feel like we were in a Nancy Meyers movie, to the high energy dance floor hits, and ending the night with our special request - "All I Want for Christmas Is You" - Emerald Empire Band truly did not miss a single beat. And, as one of our guests said, "You haven't lived until you've danced to Mr. Brightside played by a brass band!" In addition to booking the 11-piece band, we also used Emerald Empire Band for a string trio for our ceremony and jazz trio for cocktail hour, in addition to MC services and amplification. Kelley was so wonderful to work with and took every detail and small request to heart, seeing it all through. I cannot recommend Emerald Empire Band enough - and, I hope my engaged friends are reading this so I get to attend a wedding they are playing at soon!

Lexi Boutcher

Words cannot describe how AMAZING Emerald Empire Band was on our wedding day. From day one being in contact with Mike we felt very confident that they would be a perfect fit for us and our special day. The band performed all of our suggested songs and did a wonderful job MCing the whole reception. The energy the band members had was contagious and kept the dance floor packed the entire night! The way they interacted with our guests was so inviting, so much so one of our friends took a turn on the mic! Overall I cannot recommend Emerald Empire Band enough! If you are looking for a fun and energetic band for your wedding, look no further! Thank you Mike and Emerald Empire Band for a night we will never forget!

Hire this band immediately!!! Emerald Empire played at our wedding in May 2022 in Asheville, NC. A great band has always been one of my top "must haves" for my wedding, and this band completely blew us away! We chose a more intimate guest list size but the dance floor was hoppin' all night. From the start, our producer (Derrick) was very attentive and put together musicians that matched our style and met all of our needs. I loved that I could customize the band size and instruments, etc. and they were happy to accommodate some specific requests, like being introduced second-line style by the horn section and specific songs for first dance, last dance, etc. On that note--if you have chosen to go with a band rather than a DJ, make up your mind to trust the band. You won't be able to give them a list of 30-40 specific songs to play, and if that's important to you, then hire a DJ. But a good band (and this is a GREAT one) will honor the list of styles you provide, and will also read the crowd, playing songs you didn't even know you wanted but get everyone dancing.

Jennifer Gannon

The Emerald Empire Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were spectacular. We had several people come up to us during the wedding and after saying how wonderful the band was. We had a variety of age groups with a variety of music tastes and they got everyone up on the dance floor. Would highly recommend.

Kirri Nelson

Emerald Empire Band is hands down the best wedding band in the game!!! They were phenomenal. My wedding was 11 days ago and people are STILL talking to me about how great the band was! They know exactly how to get the crowd moving. Highly recommend them!! We worked with Ethan and he was so easy to work with and plan the reception! GO BOOK THIS BAND NOW!

Kate & Adam Beaton

Brandon at Emerald Empire was awesome to work with for our May 2022 wedding! We hired our photographer AND a string trio for our ceremony through Emerald Empire and the entire process was great. LOVE how our photos turned out! Highly recommend!

Vanessa Rolfe

Love, love love working with Rob at Emerald Empire Band! They did our ceremony music, cocktail hour, master of ceremonies and our fun and lively reception! The dance floor stayed packed!!! Highly recommend adding the 3 horns for the extra hype and fun!! Literally all of our requests were met!!! So much fun!!!

Ashley Charles

If you want incredible music and a full dance floor all night, emerald empire band is the right decision. Our producer, Derrick, was so helpful through the planning process. EEB handled our ceremony playlist and emceed our reception in addition to their awesome performance. Tracy is such a talented singer! This is a band I’d go out of my way to see perform anywhere, not just someone’s wedding band. If you like these photos of the reception, check out Picture This Photography Atlanta

Danielle Smith

Emerald Empire Band was perfect! First, the prep calls from Kelly before the wedding were extremely helpful. The portal they use helped keep everything very organized and everyone on the same page. But most importantly on the day of, they were on time and ready to go! Their performance was amazing!! Everyone loved them and they played the perfect mix of songs. I would 100% recommend this band to any couple!

Samantha Campanaro

AMAZING band for our wedding! We couldn't have had more fun on the dance floor with all of our family and friends. Emerald Empire Band kept the vibe alive all night and made sure the dancing never stopped. We couldn't have been happier with everything from start to finish. The team is also extremely professional and timely in responses. Stop looking and book for your event!!!!

Lauren Siegmann

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band! Emerald Empire Band kept the whole event on schedule and was so fun. They played for both our ceremony and reception, and played music over aux for cocktail hour. I can't recommend them enough.

Ellie Smith

Emerald Empire is the best!! We used the 3-piece band for our wedding reception and had such a blast! Brandon was so professional and made sure everything was in place before our wedding day. They even learned new songs for us! Can’t recommend them enough!

Rachel Torlay

I hired Emerald Empire Band for my wedding in January 2023 and they were a hit! They put together a group of talented musicians who had everyone in the room on the dance floor. They performed my beautiful ceremony music, jazz cocktail hour, and reception music. Their manager Andy, was a pleasure to work with. He took into account all of our wishes and recommendations and put together the perfect fit of musicians for our taste in music. They can truly play it all! I would recommend this group to anyone for any occasion!

Megan DeChant

I am an event planner and have had the pleasure of working with Emerald Empire Band many times over the last 6 years. I have always had a wonderful experience from start to finish and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a band for their event.

Summer Trammell

I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Emerald Empire Band! They played at our corporate Holiday party and were wonderful. They were extremely easy to work with in the planning stages and they utilize a dashboard to make communication that much easier. You can easily document the flow of your show, which genre of songs you want (& don't want!) and an array of other detailed information to make sure your event is flawless. Super talented group & can't wait to work with them again.

D Maggs

Emerald Empire is an unbelievable service and did an amazing job with our whole ceremony and reception. Their process is extremely organized and they make sure they have every detail covered for you. Justin was our contact and he was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. For the money, there is nothing that will add more to your wedding than having their live music at your ceremony. We had them perform MC service at our outdoor ceremony, play a jazz trio during our cocktail hour, and had a five piece band play our reception. I would recommend anyone looking to make their reception or event special to strongly consider EE.

Stephanie S

This band and company are awesome!!! BOOK THEM! The level of professionalism and talent is unmatched! Rob, Sam, and Jo were phenomenal musicians. We recently had our wedding and Rob (Nashville) was an angel to us throughout the entire process. He went above and beyond for us and made sure every aspect our day was so special. A few months before our wedding, we sadly had to make some drastic changes to our day due to unforeseen circumstances and Rob was fluid and helpful every step of the way. He is a true gem and an overall amazing person! “Thank you” is not enough to convey our deepest gratitude to Rob, but thank you, thank you, thank you! Our wedding day would not have turned out the way it did without his kindness and dedication to making our day what we always dreamed of! It literally brings tears to our eyes!

Makenzie Marsh

Emerald Empire Band was truly incredible!! Our guests were on the dance floor all night! We have since had countless guests tell us how amazing our wedding band was! We had an absolute blast at our wedding with a lot of that being thanks to them! We were rocking out on the shoulders of our friends at one point. It was awesome. The band was engaging with the crowd, flexible when we had a guest we wanted to sing a special song, super fun, very talented and friendly! Derrick was extremely helpful in the planning stages and was very quick to respond, professional and had great helpful hints and reading material to guide me through the booking and planning process. They are so organized! My wedding planner strongly discouraged us from having a band because she has had some bad experiences with bands only playing the type of music they wanted and not taking into consideration the music that the couple wanted to hear and being hard to work with in general. But I am SO GRATEFUL that this advice did not scare me away from hiring Emerald Empire. They did a great job of making our wedding music dreams come true and couldn't have been any easier to work with! The venue manager at our venue was thrilled when I told her we were having EEB performing because she said they were one of the best bands she has ever worked with and a lot of fun too!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Emerald Empire to anyone looking for a band!!! Thank you so much for everything EEB! You're awesome!

Jenny Myers

Emerald Empire Band was nothing short of amazing! We booked a 3-piece band for our wedding day, and they played for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, as well as providing the MC service. Richard was wonderful to work with, and answered any/all questions we had leading up to the wedding day. He was so enjoyable to work with, and made us feel at ease booking this band for our day. Richard was also one of the band members for our wedding, and the three guys did an outstanding job! We could not be happier with their performance, and our guests kept complimenting how much fun they were! We loved that they were able to play our first dance live. We highly recommend booking with Emerald Empire Band for your wedding, or any other special occasion you may have!

Hannah Long

11/10 experience with that band! We did not leave the dance floor all night. If you are deciding between a band or DJ, I’m telling you, go with band and go with Emerald Empire Band! Super professional, very engaging and definitely know what they are doing. Talking with people after our wedding, the first thing they say is how amazing the band was. Truly the best

Alex Kesselring

Emerald Empire Band services are something that I would recommend to every bride planning their big day! They were easy to work with, well-organized, and made our cocktail hour and reception perfect! Several guests made comments about how great the band was. We also had several guests mention how they have never been to a wedding where so many guests spent their whole night on the dance floor until our wedding, thanks to the band!

Catie Moore

We hired Emerald Empire for our wedding in Greenville, SC and they exceeded all expectations! They were very easy to work with leading up to the event and worked with us in detail on what kind of music we wanted to hear/overall vibe. The band choose music with great variety and it was all upbeat and fun, the dance floor was full all night. They read the crows amazingly and were very engaged with our guests.

Julie Cooper

Emerald Empire Band was perfect for our daughter's wedding reception! We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Erin was professional and a pleasure to work with from the beginning. The band's planning page made it easy to communicate our wishes and coordinate with our wedding planner. The music was phenomenal! All very talented musicians able to play a great variety of music. Although there was a scheduled break for the band, they adjusted and played thru to the end when they realized we were behind schedule and didn't have much time left. We really appreciated that! This mother of the bride felt like we got our money's worth and much more! Super happy and grateful to have Emerald Empire as part of our newlyweds' big day!

Nancy Larson

We used Emerald Empire at our wedding and the whole experience was seamless. As someone who planned her own wedding I cannot express how appreciative I was for our point of contact, Rashad. He was so helpful and responsive in the months leading up to our big day. The band managed our preset playlist for the ceremony, performed as a jazz trio during cocktail hour before rolling out a 7-piece band for the reception. We got SO many compliments on the band from our guests and I couldn’t have been happier - the dance floor was packed all night!

Victoria Whiddon

I could not recommend Emerald Empire Band enough! They worked well with myself (coordinator of a wedding) and did everything that was asked of them by the bride and groom. They also sounded amazing! They were a dream to work with!

Alexandra Vickery

We used Emerald Empire band for our wedding and they did a great job! They arrived on time, ready to rehearse. We felt like they really listened to our "must play" and "don't play" lists. They had great energy and everyone was out on the dance floor all night!

Liza Moskowitz

We received a recommendation for Emerald Empire Band from a staff member at the venue because she herself was also a musician and thought they were the best in town. We are SO GLAD we took her recommendation because Emerald Empire absolutely made our wedding what it was. Working with Chris was so easy. They have a portal where you update your wedding information, and Emerald Empire receives those updates in real time. We had a thorough call about 3 weeks before the wedding to talk about what songs we were requesting for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We had an 8-piece band and WOWZA their sound was incredible. I loved the horns section, and the energy they brought to the event. Live music in Nashville is a *MUST,* and you will not be disappointed with Emerald Empire.

Alyson McGugan

Emerald Empire Band was AWESOME! The highlight of my daughters wedding. No regrets at all! Well worth every penny spent. People stayed to the end just to listen to the band. Super easy to work with and very quick responses! Fran was simply AMAZING! And OMG, what a singer she is!!

Emily Nicksic

I hired the Emerald Empire Band for my out of state wedding (about 90 guests) and they were fabulous! The reception wouldn’t have been the same without them. The coordinator Emmanuel was incredibly responsive, professional, and helpful with organizing everything days/weeks leading up to the event, so I felt secure on my wedding day. The 5 piece band played great music and kept the dance floor alive all night, and they really took my music requests into account. The musicians were incredibly talented and set up/tore down very quickly. I would definitely recommend them for your future event, especially wedding receptions!!

Jes Smothers

These guys ROCK. They absolutely tore the house down at our wedding. Just three full hours of bangers complimented by a symphony of horns and keyboard solos. The string trio set a beautiful, romantic tone to the ceremony. Every one of our guests was beyond blown away by their performance. The band manager, CJ, was a pleasure to work with leading up to the big day. He was communicative, professional, and was willing to help accommodate any small changes up to the day before the wedding. If you need a band to bring the heat for your event, book Emerald Empire, you'll be happy you did.

A Messik

They played at my wedding and were amazing! From tailoring an abridged version of our first dance (Harvest Moon), to some unique dj sets for our out of town guests, to nailing every classic we asked for. No one could leave the dance floor. Thank you Andy and team!

Brendon Helms

I rarely post reviews but feel compelled to give Emerald Empire Band a well earned 5 star rating and vote of confidence! My wife and I had a another band booked for our wedding and to make a long story short....we had no confidence they'd show up for our big day. We reached out to Emerald at the behest of our friends and we couldn't be more thankful we did. The experience was top knotch from initial phone call to through the actual wedding reception. They made the process easy and made our day that much more memorable by getting people on the dance floor. Thanks so much to Emerald Empire for making our day special.

Erin Jordan

Emerald Empire played at our wedding in Pawley's Island June 2022. We booked them because I had seen them play at a friends wedding a couple of years earlier. They were amazing and we could not have asked for a better music experience! They learned our first dance song and did an outstanding job choosing songs throughout the night. We used them for the ceremony and reception. They have an online planning page that is easy and great to use to plan/communicate with the band before the big day. Many of our guests throughout the night commented how great the band sounded. They definitely set a great vibe for the night! Ward was also great to work with.

Christine Joy

We are so grateful to have had the Emerald Empire Band play our wedding. We had them provide a single acoustic sax during the welcome, processional music and mics, a jazz trio for cocktail hour and a 10-person full band for the reception. Kelly was an amazing partner from the start and made the whole process super easy. They have a great portal to load all details and preferences, and he also jumped on the phone several times to chat through options and confirm details. We were able to specify genres and special songs, but then they took it from there to do what they do best and feed off the crowd. On the day of, they were on time and professional. When sound check started, we knew we were in for a great night. So many guests shared compliments and couldn't believe what an awesome band we had!

Tracy Sanchez

As a wedding planner, we get a lot of clients looking for a top quality band and Emerald Empire has never failed to deliver. Great musicians and fantastic vocalists! Being good at reading the crowd is always vital when it comes to engaging the crowd and they do a great job of that all while delivering a fantastic show, especially Adam who performs like he was born on stage behind a guitar and mic. We never hesitate to recommend Emerald Empire to our clients!

Kara Pitts

We hired the Emerald Empire Band for a holiday work party and they were fantastic! Chris was awesome to work with in coordinating all of the details and the band kept people on the dance floor all night. We would definitely hire them again!

Scott Brady

This band really held themselves up to their reputation as the No. 1 wedding band in the greater ATL area. They offer many different packages that can suit to your needs. We decided to get full 7-piece band, multiple PA’s with microphones for speeches/vows, cocktail hour music, and reception walkout songs. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire day with Emerald Empire Band. Not only was the music the perfect amount of funk & soul, but they had an incredible stage presence as well. Once they all got on that stage, they saw no reason to have any music played through the speakers that wasn’t them playing. Saying that, they offered to learn our first dance song, mother/son dance, and mother/daughter dance songs and delivered them perfectly. I really hope we get invited to another wedding this band is playing at as they are just simply that good.

Beth Thaxton

I booked the Emerald Empire Band for my son’s wedding. From the beginning of my contact with them they were so easy to work with and answered all of my questions. They provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and our reception. From The minute they started playing the dance floor was full. They were so engaging and interacted with all of the guest. They stuck with the music that my son and his bride requested. Thank you Emerald Empire Band for such a memorable evening!

M&S McNamara

Couldn’t have asked for a better band. Justin, our contact, was so professional and easy to work with. He helped us with any and all questions. The band themselves were also amazing! Super professional, great musicians and so easy to work with and fun. They played the best music and really made our Christmas party a special one! I would HIGHLY recommend them for any party!

Stephanie Curtin

Emerald empire was so much fun! They rocked at our wedding and we had such an amazing time dancing to everything they played! Richard was so wonderful with communication and the band was so thoughtful to us. They played specialized songs for our ceremony and played one last song for just Jack and I to dance to alone. I hope I get the opportunity to book this band again. You guys rocked and made our wedding day perfect!

Heidi Nejaime

Emerald Empire Band was the best band ever! We had the nine piece band for our daughter’s wedding - they were top notch and very reasonably priced! They played lovely dinner music and then rocked everyone on the dance floor for the rest of the night! Our guests are still talking about how great the band was! Would 100% recommend this band!

Caroline Nooe

We cannot thank Emerald Empire Band enough for such an unforgettable night! We had a pianist and guitarist at the ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail hour, and a 5 piece band for the reception. While we did provide preferred music genres for the reception, the individual song selections the band made were perfection. Our family and friends were tearing up the dance floor all night long. We did a private last dance with the band playing and it ended up being more special than our first dance. Cannot recommend them enough!

Maddy Girard

I can not compliment this band enough! We hired them for our wedding and because it was so affordable went for the full 7 piece and we have zero regrets. The band managed to make me feel as though I was at a concert but somehow still managed to keep me and my groom the center of attention! The number of people who have asked me where we found this band after our wedding is insane! Working with them up until the event was relaxed and organized and the day of was 10/10! Seriously cannot give them high enough praise. Maybe our new favorite band ;)

John Christianson

We were very happy with the entertainment provided at our wedding by The Emerald Empire Band! What especially impressed me was their song selection. They had unique song selections that you don't hear at every wedding, while keeping the music upbeat and wedding appropriate. They had our specific requests prepared for the first dance, father/bride dance, and mother/groom dance. They were accommodating to our schedule of events for the day, and they also kept the volume at a reasonable level. So both dancing and conversations could be enjoyed by our guests the entire evening. From the beginning, Rob was very easy to communicate with, and he offered a very organized form for us to fill out with the details of the evening, to keep everything running smoothly. As a professional musician myself, I was very impressed with the musicianship and professionalism of The Emerald Empire Band! I would highly recommend them for most any event!

Edward Hill

my wife and I booked Emerald Empire for our wedding - such a great decision. Incredible dance atmosphere, lively, great song choice, and celebratory! Had the whole dance floor packed. recommend them to all my friends who are wedding planning. Easy to work with planning beforehand, and top notch execution during the event. professional, great stage presence and made for such a fun celebration. thanks, yall!!

Jesse Podor

Emerald Empire Band absolutely crushed our wedding. The band was so nice, and they brought so much energy. Everyone was out of their chair as soon as they started playing. They played all of the songs that we wanted, and they were so easy to work with throughout the entire process. If you want live music at your wedding, Emerald Empire Band is the way to go!

A. Walker

Emerald Empire Band is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Every single friend and family member that attended our wedding said that the band was amazing. The band helped us coordinate the music for the entire day and we felt so confident and comfortable knowing all the details were covered. The band has an excellent communication channel and everything is so detailed in set-up. Every question that we had along the planning process was answered so fast and with great clarity. We had them play before the wedding, during the ceremony, during the cocktail hour and during our reception. All the transitions were so smooth and helped create the atmosphere that we wanted. The dance floor was popping!! Everyone joined in and couldn’t resist the amazing sound and energy. If you want a band at your wedding then look no further. Emerald is worth every penny and then some. The band was one of our top two things for our wedding and it meant a lot that they took our dream for the wedding and made it a reality. They were part of the party and we loved it! You wanna good band? No, a GREAT band for your weeding? Book Emerald Empire and have the party of a lifetime!

Alix Pierson

When you have an entire wedding, and the thing that the most people compliment you on is your band, you know you chose the right people! From the start, Emmanuel was so incredibly helpful, kind, and just overall excited about his job, which made me excited as well! The entire process was very easy, and the planning page was the best thing I have seen in terms of getting a vendor and client on the same page! Emmanuel spent time going through every single detail to make sure it was what I wanted and accommodated changes with ease. I knew going into the night that everything was going to be perfect! I had seen Emerald Empire at another wedding and loved them, but they even exceeded my expectations! The guests were all out on the dance floor loving the music, and the band kept them solidly entertained all night! As I said, I have had SO many people comment on how much fun they had with the band and how great they are, and I totally agree! I was incredibly impressed with Emmanuel and the band, and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Truly the best decision I could have made in regard to wedding entertainment!!

Katherine Riley

Emerald Empire Band is AMAZING to work with!!! They are so organized and streamlined which made the planning process extremely easy. They performed for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding night. They were great at MC'ing for the speeches during the rehearsal dinner and the 5 piece band played a fantastic set for the welcome party. We had an 8-piece band for the wedding and they blew our expectations out of the water. They were amazzzzing performers. So lively and fun. Our guests had the best time and couldn't stop raving about how great the band was. Emmanuel was our lead planner and he was just lovely to work with. They have a detailed planning page to ensure they have all of the details right & they make sure to get a perfect gauge of your taste in music. I highly recommend using them for any event!!

Lydia Perry

EEB was the best! They played a variety of music and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. It's a week after the wedding and my feet are still hurting - lol. Request CJ as your MC and you won't be disappointed. The entire band was so interactive with the crowd. Will forever recommend this band for events!!!!!

Alexandria Buenger

Wedding & Event planner here and I have to say Emerald Empire is an absolutely fantastic band! So many compliments from the guests and the vendors plus the dance floor is always packed all night!! Thanks to the band for always being consistently a wonderful vendor to work with as well as an awesome sounding and FUN band!!

Kelsey Rolwood

Wow! Our wedding day would not have been the same without Emerald Empire. From our song choices for walking down the aisle to our first dance song, they absolutely nailed every request. They had everyone up and dancing from the very first song to the send off at the end of the night. We could not be happier with the great individuals with Emerald Empire Band and would HIGHLY recommend them!

Celeste Rodgers

I had an awesome experience with Emerald Empire Band! From the start reaching out and booking with them they made things simple with a personalized website with a detailed itinerary to fill in. I was so impressed with the itinerary and how it had things we never even thought of we actually used it for all our other vendors as well. The band also asked all kinds of questions about our music tastes and personalities so they could get a feel for us and make sure to pick songs we liked. We used them for both the ceremony and reception and could not have been happier. They play acoustic guitar and keys of all during the ceremony and it made for such a romantic vibe. Them playing an acoustic version of Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles when we walked out almost made me cry it was played so well. During the reception they were the life of the party and went way longer stretches without a break than I ever expected. 10/10 would recommend.

Julia Russo

Would highly recommend Emerald Empire Band for your next event. Not only did they walk me through everything step by step, they also had an extremely user friendly website where you were able to collaborate in real time as things came to mind. Additionally, on our wedding day, the band was extremely professional and definitely were the life of the party. Everyone complimented them, and they definitely were one of the defining elements of our wedding day!

Emma Allen

We hired Emerald Empire Band to play at our corporate event and they were exceptional! The attendees loved the elevated vibe their ensemble provided and of course, they sounded fantastic. I would book them for any event we have in the future!

Catherine Mathews

I booked Emerald Empire for my wedding, and they were absolutely perfect! The entire reception loved them! I still have guests tell me how wonderful the band was. Highly recommend for any event!

Jill Davis

The band was AMAZING! I booked the Trio Band for a corporate event of 100 attendees. The band became the highlight of our entire night. Everyone was raving about them all night long. I also want to point out that the band members were so nice and accommodating to any and all of our needs. They went above and beyond. The quality, professionalism and talent was unmatched. Also, I would like to thank Chris for the ease of the entire booking process and making my life so easy. 11/10 STARS to you all!!!!!!! Worth every penny and more.

Brandon Jones

Hired them for our wedding. They threw down!! Excellent sound the whole night, we were surprised at the quality of service we received before and during the event (amazing), and they were all super nice and individually talented. They know what to do, when to do it, and helped with timing for what worked best as well. They were flexible and played a huge variety of songs for us and sounded GREAT. Would recommend!!

Marie Stormi Rowe

Emerald Empire Band help carry out a FABULOUS oyster roast fundraiser for Junior League of Greenville with our annual event Roasted At The Rock at Rock Springs Center in Greenville, NC. Music filled the entire community and was a hit! Thank you for coming to our little neck of the woods and having a great time with your friends in eastern North Carolina....We look forward to having you back again!

Katie Hausman

Emerald Empire Band was the best choice we could have made! We knew we wanted live music and were nervous about making sure people were dancing the entire time and really having fun. They delivered 100%. The dance floor was busy the whole night. We had a really late wedding that did not end until 11:30 and I have never seen that many people left at the end of a wedding. EEB was easy to work with too. We did two phone calls with them and that was it! We were so happy with them and have already recommended them to other couples. You won't be sorry!

Lindsey McGehee

This band was GREAT to work with! Extremely on top of the details, flexible when it came to last minute changes, and most importantly put on a great show!

Coartney Cooper

Emerald Empire Band was fantastic!! They learned all of the songs we requests and were a BLAST! Thank you so much.

John Colan Bukowski

My wife and I are so happy with how Emerald Empire Band performed! They communicated with us all the way up to the big day making sure everything was perfect and it was! They even let me sing for my wife with them. I high recommend them for a party. To this day everyone keeps talking about how great the band was.

Brianna Norris

The band was one of the highlights at our wedding! We had multiple guests comment on how talented the band was!

Rebecca Woods

Excellent band, horrendously bad photography services. We used Emerald Empire for our wedding. We knew we wanted to use their band; we were pitched and sold on their photography package as well. The band was truly inspired, and we heard from many guests this was the best wedding band they've ever heard. We agree. Billy Thornton as a band leader was superb and we recommend the band with zero reservations. On the other hand, we are appalled at how unprofessional, and just plain bad, their photography services were. At the wedding, the photographer added no value in terms of framing or posing anyone, including during the wedding party portraits. He had to be told to use his flash. He brought minimal equipment (one camera and flash; no external lighting or ladders or the like). We required everyone to be vaccinated; the photographer was not only unvaccinated, he had to be asked several times to place his mask over his mouth and nose. Then we waited for our photos, for nearly 7 weeks, and were told they were being "processed." Allegedly some manner of professional make-over/lighting/coloring was being done. Then we got the photos. Hoo. They are terribly lit, with weird shadows on the posed photos and a strange blanching of people on the left side of the posed photos (the photographer used a single flash and it was a rainy day, making the blanching unaccountable). They are badly composed. There are swaths of guests entirely missing. And best yet, there are dozens of photos with long-exposure light streaks, totally ruining them. There are fewer than a half-dozen "keepers" out of over 500 photos. Our guests, using iPhones, took better photos. After several hearty complaints, we received a partial refund, but the photos are unfixable and the opportunity to have quality photos for a one-time, critical life event is lost. Save yourself the heartache and go with someone else for your photography.

We are so thankful we chose Emerald Empire Band! they were so organized and accomodating from the pre-planning all the way to the day of! We loved the options they gave us for the band size because we originally choose to only have a 5-piece band, but we later decided we wanted to go bigger to a 7-piece and they easily made that happen! It was easily the best decision we made because the horns added such a great atmosphere! The band as a whole was AMAZING, they got everyone on the dance floor the whole night, played a few of our favorite songs that aren't your "typical" wedding music, and just truly made our reception the party we wanted! It's been weeks since our wedding and people are still telling us how much they loved Emerald Empire Band, so if you're thinking about them you will not be dissapointed :)

Hilary Higginbotham

Emerald Empire Band was incredible at my wedding reception! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night! They are professionals at reading the crowd and knowing what songs to play. They have played at several friend's weddings in the past, and they never disappoint. I had so many people tell me they had the best time at the reception! They are easy to work with, very professional, and made the reception music part a breeze!

Jessica

Emerald Empire Band was absolutely amazing for our wedding! Every guest raved about the music all night long and we were so thankful we made the choice to entrust them with our day! From the ceremony music, to the cocktail hour jazz trio, to the 6-piece reception band, and then the saxophone walk-out to our send-off, they made our night unforgettable! You can't beat the sound of a 6-piece band and every member was simply amazing, hands-down. They did a phenomenal job learning our first dance song and stuck to all of our requests. Also glad we splurged on the dynamic wash lights, which created an even more fun party atmosphere! I would recommend EEB to anyone looking for a classy and fun party band!

Sara Goodwin

We used Emerald Empire Band for our wedding! All of their singers sound amazing! They made our wedding an absolute blast and they were so interactive with our guests! Also, Brandon was amazing with all the planning! Highly recommend! They are the best and their prices were reasonable!

Emily Allen

We are still glowing from our wedding experience with The Emerald Empire. Their producer, Rob Gould was amazing to work with - Extremely responsive and helpful and kind. He seemed genuinely invested in making our event a success. The planning web platform was so easy to use and FAQs were very informative. I had complete faith in the band’s ability to help facilitate the event set up, MC responsibilities, and event flow which made me feel much more at ease while planning the wedding. They embraced a few of our out of the box ideas so that we could successfully have the day we envisioned. The day of the event, we were floored by the helpfulness and professionalism of the band. Each musician was incredible in their own right and our guests had an amazing time moving and grooving all night long. They played some of our favorite music and styles of music, wowed everyone with some amazing solos & kept the energy going until the very last song. We ended the night with full hearts and owe much of that to the band’s ability to bring out the absolute best energy. Could not recommend them enough!!!

Emily Glenn

Book Emerald Empire Band right now - you will not regret it! I was initially a little hesitant to book them since they are based in Atlanta and my wedding was outside of Raleigh, NC but they made the entire process seamless from start to finish. We worked with CJ to pull together the perfect, most engaging band - our guests stayed on the dance floor the entire time and have been raving for weeks after how much fun it was. We were all so sad when the wedding and music ended. Highly highly recommend!!

Carol Hannasch

Emerald Empire Band blew us away! From how organized they are with their planning page to the execution day of, they exceeded expectations. All of our wedding guests loved the band’s song choices, energy and overall talent. They kept the energy up all night long and were a huge part of making our day so special! Thank you to Chris for helping us every step of the way with planning and to the band for an amazing evening of live music!!

Samantha J. Richards

Just do yourself a favor and book them! Our wedding was just a couple of weeks ago and we still can't get over how incredible this band was. They had such good spirits and attitudes about them...you could literally see and hear how much of themselves they put into performing...they give it their all. Just incredibly talented. They kept our wedding lively & flowing smoothly the whole day and night. We love the Emerald Empire Band!

Taylor Dye

Emerald Empire Band was a great addition to our wedding day. Erin was my point of contact and she was so wonderful to work with. Everything from our ceremony music to reception was exactly what we envisioned. They even made sure to play one of my favorite bands during their set breaks which was such a small thing that made me so happy. Would highly recommend!

Katelyn Brech

We had our wedding at the Tellico Village Yacht Club in Tennessee and the Emerald Empire Band was the best addition to our day! We were going back and forth on whether or not we wanted live music for our ceremony and we were so happy we did. We hired the pianist and it was perfect. For our reception we chose to have a 6 piece band and it was PERFECTION. They kept everyone on the dance floor and were super engaging with everyone. All of our guests raved about the band. They were so professional and we highly recommend them for your next event.

Meghan Doyle

We loved the five piece band for our wedding. We also had a pianist for the ceremony and a jazz trio for cocktail hour. Our guests would not get off the dance floor and the band was fantastic! Working with Chris pre-wedding was easy and he went above and beyond to answer my questions, offer suggestions and more. I asked for specific songs played based on the crowd mood (type A) and they accommodated - I do recommend giving them the reigns more than I did (haha) as they know what they are doing! We went to a showcase and loved one singer, Nelani, and requested her. They selected the rest of the band who were awesome!!! They even learned to play a few songs for us. The MC was also great, we gave him super specific direction and he was not cheesy nor did he make random awkward comments or jokes (as I find most MCs do haha). My only suggestion is to make sure they coordinate with the planner or check in throughout as our timeline shifted and this was not communicated to the MC (this was the planners fault). My budget was respected and they strived to achieve exactly what I wanted! I did extensive research on bands, and the booking and planning process was by far the best, in addition to the reasonable cost and excellent performance. Would recommend a million times over, my guests can’t stop raving. Thanks Chris, Nelani & team!

Kelsey Arthur

Emerald Empire was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Throughout the entire process I felt like we were in such great hands. I never had to reach out for clarification on anything, they took care of IT ALL and it was evident they know what they are doing!! They were the easiest vendor to communicate with and they truly run like a well oiled machine. The band itself was AWESOME and kept the dance floor full the entire night. We still have friends and family commenting on how awesome the band was weeks later. They kept the party going and even let my husband and I on stage to “call the dogs” (UGA fans will get this 😉) at the end of the night. I am already trying to think of a party to throw in the future so I can book again. 10/10 recommend to EVERYONE!!

Sydney Dillon

If you’re considering booking Emerald Empire Band for your wedding, do yourself a favor and do it TODAY. I had them for my wedding 3/26/22 and they absolutely were the best decision we made for our wedding. They had every guest on the dance floor and our guests raved about how well they played and the songs they chose. We couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Justin took care of us from the beginning, the planning process was super easy, and they absolutely delivered on the day of. Thank you Emerald Empire!!

Drew Magid

I can't imagine our wedding without Emerald Empire Band. Chris was incredible to work with leading up to the big day. My wife and I greatly appreciated all of the attention to detail. They literally killed it - everyone of our guests left raving about the band. Seriously so much fun and easy to work with. We will be recommending to anyone who asks.

JimWar18

This weekend marks the first anniversary of my daughter’s wedding and it brings back lots of great memories, not the least of which was the performance by Emerald Empire Band. They were absolutely fabulous! I’d give them 7 stars (two extra) but Google won’t let me. They were easy to work with during the booking phase and very cooperative with all the Covid 19 issues and concerns last year. The musicians were incredibly talented and played like they’d grown up together. The sound was so tight! The playlist spot on! Our band consisted of seven pieces (drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, sax, trumpet, lead singer) with a magical eighth (second singer) showing up unannounced. My wife and I received many compliments about the wedding but none more so than those associated with the music. EEB made the whole event a smashing success! Great job! Great talent! Great party! Thanks EEB!!!! PS: I thought the price was very reasonable, too.

Abby Campbell

They were INCREDIBLE for our wedding! We got the 7 piece band and it was perfect. We were pretty specific about what we wanted them to play (and not to play) and they delivered just that. We asked for a mix of 2000s/90s throwbacks, current pop, and classics, and that’s exactly what we got. They were so high energy and fun and I think about 50 of our guests stopped to tell me that it was the best wedding band they’d ever heard. Our guests stayed on the dance floor all night! We couldn’t have been happier, especially with such a great price. HIGHLY recommend.

Amanda Fray

I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Emerald Empire Band. Ward was great to work with on the event preparation, and the live music was the aspect of our reception that got the most compliments from our guests. Would highly recommend them!

Marylyn Braun

Emerald Empire Band We used the Emerald Empire Band for our daughter’s wedding in September 2021 at The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge, Young Harris, GA. We had picked them largely due to their excellent online reviews. Are we ever glad we did! Coordinator Justin Powell was a dream to work with. He was so accessible and quick to respond to any correspondence. We booked a five-piece band and they were incredible! They had guests dancing all night and interacted so well with the bride and groom and the crowd. Justin also took care of the bride and groom’s ceremonial needs playing their selected songs, providing speakers, microphones, etc. Everything went fabulously and the sound quality was great. The guests went on and on about the band! We are so happy the Emerald Empire Band was able to make our daughter and her new husband’s special day/evening even more special. Heartily recommend the Emerald Empire Band for your event! Mary Braun Dalton, GA Mother of the bride

Sara Saxner-Coughlin

We got married over the summer and Emerald Empire Band was one of the very first vendors we booked. And, we're so glad we did! Justin and his team were all things professional, excited to celebrate us with our guests, and incredibly talented. The process itself was very easy with their online portal, and they were helpful in making adjustments along the way. Everyone from our wedding raved about how AMAZING the band was, and it truly made it a night to remember. Top recommendation is to hire this crew. Couldn't say better things about our experience with Emerald Empire Band. Wish we could replay that night over again!!

kim white

We first saw the band in 2020 at a friends wedding near Nashville. We were so blown away by how great they were that when my daughter got engaged she and her fiancée booked the band for their wedding. The band went out of their way and drove from TN to a suburb outside of Chicago to perform at the wedding on 6/4/22. The owner of the venue said they were great, the wedding guests said it was one of the best weddings and bands they’d ever seen. Not to mention all the band members are really nice people. Highly recommend for any event! Awesome!

Annah Gr

These is not enough good things to say about emerald empire! We booked never hearing them And I am so happy we took that gamble- they were amazing! The one thing they did above and beyond was learn a song not in their repertoire for our father daughter dance. It was a complete surprise to me and really meant so much. you will not regret it if your on the fence! They had the crowd moving all night and we had so many compliments on the band . Thank you for everything!

em

They played at our wedding this past June, and absolutely crushed it. We could have danced all night long. They were spot on with our music preferences, but also took creative liberty and did such a fantastic job. Would highly reccommend to anyone!

Sam Gainer

We're so glad we booked a live band for our wedding. It made all the difference! We've been to a few weddings with different configurations of Emerald Empire band and they've all been incredible, so we felt great about booking with them. It was easy and user-friendly to book them online and Kelly was responsive and great to work with. He listened to all of our requests and helped make our vision a reality. He even worked out a way to add another band member a few days before our wedding. The musicians at our reception are so talented and were super high energy. Everyone danced all night and thanked all the members after. We gave pretty free reign on the set list and were so so happy with every song they played. They nailed it! Our friends and family are still talking about how awesome the band was. Thank you for making our wedding so fun!!

Suzy Waikel

If you want the best wedding ever, then Emerald Empire Band is for you!! From the planning stages to the ceremony, cocktails and reception, they made our evening the perfect experience, so thank you Justin and the rest of the band!!! They were the party!!

Bill Brothers

Emerald Empire provided excellent entertainment at daughter's wedding reception last Friday in Raleigh. The music for the reception was a big deal for us. The groom is a musician and many of the guests are in the music business and/or musicians themselves, and our family's favorite part2 of any wedding reception that we attend is the music and the dancing. So needless to say, we had high expectations. And Emerald Empire was not only able to meet them, but in fact beat them! The song selection was just what we wanted, and our guests literally never stopped dancing once they got started. The groom was very excited ahead of time about the horn section, and the band did not disappoint. Every member of the band displayed their immense talents, all were amazing musicians and did a great job establishing rapport with the crowd! Our guests could not stop talking about how great the band was! The cherry on top was learning and playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" to wrap up the night - the groom's family favorite. That essentially brought the house down! And the remaining guests beamed for hours as we took the party to a nearby bar, giving nothing but praise for Emerald Empire! In addition, Richard's professional and organized approach to the planning, responsive communication and easy demeanor throughout the process was truly appreciated by all of us and contributed greatly to the success of the event. The great music and great management made it easy for us to give them 5 stars!

Stephanie Siegel

Emerald Empire Band was amazing to work with from the beginning of the planning process to the very end of our wedding night. They were so flexible to talk to as we were planning. They learned our first dance song. The set list was perfect. The ideal mix of oldies, 90's, and today. Guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the band. We could not of been happier with our decision to have Emerald Empire Band perform at our wedding!

Annie Zonneveld

The Emerald Empire Band was an absolute joy to work with. They made our day even more magical. I would definitely hire them again!

Dave Stockert

This is a great wedding band! Emerald Empire Band played our daughter's Athens wedding and they were wonderful. They kept the dance floor full all night, with joy and energy in the room. We had an 8-piece band with horns and the cost was surprisingly reasonable. We also used two of the musicians in the ceremony and three of the musicians as a jazz combo during the cocktail hour before dinner. Again, all very reasonable. They came prepared and were professional throughout. And Emerald Empire Band has a great process in the lead up to the wedding, assigning a band coordinator and an easy-to-use web page to coordinate logistics and where the bride and groom can weigh in on song choices, etc. Overall, a great experience and a great day and night!

Annie Duffey

Working with Emerald Empire Band was a fantastic experience all around. From our initial inquiry all the way to our wedding day, they were friendly, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Their talent is unmatched, and compliments from our guests keep on coming. I would recommend them for any event in need of a band!

Rebekah Adams

Working with Emerald Empire was the first and best decision we made regarding our wedding. Ansley was an amazing help throughout the process, and leading up to the event. The website (where you plan the event) is incredible to use and mobile friendly. The band itself is truly worth it. I recommend seeing a showcase in person if you can, they’re stunning. Everyone had an amazing night, the music was perfect the entire time. Could not say enough positive words!

elise lance

Always love working with Emerald Empire Band! Exceptional in every way - great music & great people! Highly recommend!

Dave D

My wife and I hired The Emerald Empire Band immediately after seeing them play during one of their showcases. We recently had them play at our wedding in April and we were so VERY pleased with how well they performed. They exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Guests who we've never seen dance before felt the need to join us out there,because if you weren't dancing--you were missing out! We elected to go with the 8 piece band and it truly felt like our own private concert. We would highly recommend the EEB!! It was by far the best money we ever spent on the wedding. If you want your wedding to be a lasting memory for you and your guests, get rid of a DJ and hire this band!

Taylor Coan

We had an all around great experience with Emerald Empire. From the planning to the wedding day, they were excellent. The band was very talented and they made our wedding night a blast! We received many complements from our guests on having a live band and also how they were impressed by the band's performance. Thank you Kelly and Emerald Empire!

Mackenzie Thomas

Emerald Empire absolutely MADE our wedding reception. We requested modern, upbeat dance music that would keep everyone on the dance floor, and they overdelivered! The dance floor stayed packed for the entire reception; there was never a break in dancing because every song they played was better than the last. To customize our reception music, Emerald Empire requested that we complete a questionnaire detailing our favorite music artists and genres. I was so impressed that the band made sure to hit on all our favorite artists—including some newly released songs that were likely learned just prior to the reception. This team seriously knows how to craft a setlist that will create a party, and we had multiple friends comment on how amazing the band was and request their contact information for their future events. Thank you, Kelly and Emerald Empire team!

Rebecca Carroll

We hired Emerald Empire Band for our wedding and absolutely loved them! We thought that they did a phenomenal job and we received so many comments on how impressed our guests were with them both at the ceremony and the reception. They kept our guests on the dance floor the whole night. We cannot recommend them enough!

Jayda Martin

As a coordinator, there are certain things I look for in a band for brides - efficient, fun, fresh & professional! that can be a hard mix to find, and Emerald Empire BROUGHT IT. I loved watching guests dance the night away to their fun sets. They’re not only incredible musicians, but great humans as well. Will 10/10 recommend to other brides in the future!

Salem Collins

We could not have asked for a better experience with the Emerald Empire Band. The planning process was seamless and they played all of the music we were hoping for at our wedding. 10 out of 10 would recommend and use again!

Kylee Kopacka

The Emerald Empire Band played at our wedding on March 27, 2021. They were absolutely amazing!! We cannot thank them enough for getting people on the dance floor and adding so much to our wedding night. They played exactly what the crowd wanted to hear and did a fabulous job all night. Chops and Sophia, the lead singers, were amazing as well as the five other band members. Cole was so easy and knowledgeable to deal with from start to finish and our venue The 173 Carlyle House said all of the band members were great to deal with. I would recommend the Emerald Empire Band to everyone!

Andrea Bell

Booking Emerald Empire Band was the best decision we made in terms of wedding planning! The band played our ceremony, cocktail, and reception. The band was so versatile and even was able to play our first dance songs. From start to finish everything was so organized, and Richard was the best to work with. Thanks for making our wedding perfect EEB!

Amanda Harrison

The Emerald Empire Band was perfect for our wedding reception! They were so easy to work with prior to the event and always quick to respond. We were completely confident going into the wedding that they knew exactly how we wanted our reception to run and the vibe we wanted to achieve. Needless to say, they absolutely nailed it, and went above and beyond. We could not be happier with the experience and highly, highly recommend them!!

Lindsay Greco

Emerald Empire Band was nothing but perfect for our wedding! They played our ceremony, cocktail and reception music and each segment was amazing. Justin was an absolute pleasure to work with, he made all of the pre-planning seamless and easy. Everyone has raved about how fun the band was and how great they sounded. I would hire them again and again and again if I could!

Marcel Colburn

We used this band for our wedding and it was truly amazing service from beginning to end. They were so helpful in all the planning and making sure all of our ideas were made possible. I was blown away by how accommodating they were. And the actual performance was absolutely stellar. My husband and I could not have been more happy and everyone at our wedding could not stop telling us how much they adored the band.

Michelle Kopenitz

Emerald Empire Band made my reception SO fun! Everyone was on the dance floor the ENTIRE time they were playing! They played the best crowd pleasing music and I could not be happier with my experience with them. We have received multiple compliments from our guest and guest asking what the name of the band was so they could use them at their weddings! You cannot go wrong hiring this band! Manny, band manager, is also very easy to work with and met directly with my wedding planner to go over the timelines and they knocked it out of the part!

Brittney Gallagher

I recently booked a 4-piece band for my corporate Christmas party and they were AMAZING! Justin Powell was great to work with as I planned the event. He was thorough, responsive and made the booking process easy! The musicians were incredible. They had great energy and the song selections were spot on! Everyone who attended said the band made it our best Christmas party to date! I highly recommend the Emerald Empire Band!!

Brie Holmes

This band is AMAZING!! I booked them during covid without even seeing them perform and boy did they NOT disappoint! We got married down in Nashville and Rob was there for us every step of the way. He was so organized and was really interested in what we wanted to hear. We got a six piece band and the saxophone was an awesome asset. The lead singer Alex also did an unreal job making every single announcement right on schedule. They really added that special touch to our wedding and everyone had a great time. Book Emerald Empire Band, you will not regret it!!

Jessica Higgins

Emerald Empire Band was absolutely incredible! We hired a 6 part band for our reception and used them for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and MC services, and every single component was fabulous. They got guests out on the dance floor that I never would have expected to dance, and we had so many people comment on how great they were. Justin was so easy to work without throughout the whole process and was one of the easiest vendors with whom to communicate.

Thomas Bledsoe

Emerald Empire was our wedding band and they were amazing!! Derrick was a pleasure to work with throughout our wedding planning. The musicians were all highly talented and our guests LOVED them. My wife and I love live music and could not have asked for a better band for our wedding!

Madeline Candela

Emerald Empire is truly the best pick for a wedding and really any event. I cannot emphasize enough how fun and special this band made our night. Extremely easy to work with and the quality of the music is out of the park amazing. Not only can they play most songs at top quality, but they are great at feeling the vibe and playing the appropriate songs at the correct time. Additionally, making great calls for unexpected events - my Dad was not feeling well so during the father daughter dance and it was like they knew what was going through my head when they shortened the song for us in a way that was not noticeable. All and all they are great at picking up vibes and adjust accordingly. In addition to being easy to work with. Emerald Empire thank you for making our wedding special and inspiring those who don’t dance to groove . We love you all!

Danna DiNapoli

My daughter's wedding was 2 weeks ago and we are still getting compliments on the music!!! From the ceremony, to the jazz trio at the cocktail reception and then the 7 piece band at the reception...Emerald Empire Band was FABULOUS!! One feature that we really appreciated was that they are a "one-stop shop!" They provide sound systems, mics, lighting , ceremony music, MC services, and live band members (as many or as few as your event needs). Kelly was so easy to work with and so organized! I never worried once we hired Emerald Empire. The band worked so well with our other vendors....it was flawless event!! Thank you Emerald Empire for bringing the sounds of a dream to life!!! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Read Less

Autumn Guzzardi

One of our favorite things about our wedding was Emerald Empire Band! We've had to postpone our wedding and reset the date a few times due to the pandemic. EEB has been so accommodating throughout it all. Plus it was worth the wait to have these guys rock our wedding. Our guests, several of whom are in the music/entertainment business, RAVED about how fantastic the band was and we couldn't agree more. If you are wanting live music EEB should be your only choice, hand down the best. As if their musical talents weren't enough, these guys were genuinely really nice and seemed to be having a great time too. When you like what you do it shows! Thanks so much Guys!

Sydney Blumberg

The Emerald Empire Band was everything we could have asked for, and more, in a wedding band. They provided our ceremony microphone, ceremony music, cocktail hour music and reception music. We hired a trio and wow did they exceed my expectations! They had everyone out on the dance floor immediately and we got so many compliments on the music! Aisha was so easy to work with, from booking all the way through the event and the musicians were very talented and professional. Aisha was so organized and quick to answer all of my emails, even with a very busy wedding season! They perfectly executed and really exceeded my vision, and my wedding would not have been the same without them.

Daryl & Maggie Wedding

Emerald Empire was so much fun!! All of our guests were absolutely raving about the band. The band was so lovely to work with and always responded to our emails insanely fast. They were also super flexible and accommodating and learned a new song (and let my sister sing!) for our first dance. We were so happy we chose them!

Kristen Rardin

Emerald Empire Band exceeded our expectations and were definitely a highlight of our reception! Leading up to our wedding, Chris was great at communication and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Throughout the reception the band kept the energy level up and they were even able to get my husband's grandfather out on the dance floor! If anyone is on the fence about whether or not to book a band for their wedding, I would 100% recommend booking with Emerald Empire Band

Samantha Ducker

We had such a great experience with Emerald Empire Band! Fran was very accommodating from the very start and she did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. She even helped me with aspects of our wedding day I had not thought of. The band was able to learn a few special songs that we requested, including a new song for our first dance. They played all of our favorite tunes and they were so much fun! Our guests weren’t huge get-up-and-dance people (older crowd problems), but they did tell us how much they enjoyed listening to them! We can’t say enough good things and we highly recommend!

Sawyer Page

We had Emerald Empire Band play at our wedding and they were everything we were looking for. Having just two weeks to learn our first dance song, they performed it like they had been playing it for years. The planning was excellent and we never had to worry about anything logistically going wrong. The setlist was spot on with what we were looking for and the band definitely knew how to keep the party going. We could not recommend them more highly for your wedding or event.

Ashley Anselene

OMG! I cannot say how wonderful Emerald Empire was at our Wedding. The songs were amazing first of all but the wedding was executed perfectly with them helping guide everything. If you are looking for a band for your wedding this group is the way to go! Richard who helped set everything up including our song choices, ect. was amazing. He is such a kind and helpful guy and can really help you narrow down and song choices! You will not be disappointed to have this group at your wedding

Elle Sypek

SO GLAD WE USED EMERALD EMPIRE. I live in Colorado and got married in SC so was unable to see the band play before the wedding and was slightly. nervous. I had heard great things, but ya never know! I was NOT AT ALL disappointed. They were AMAZING, my guests still are talking about them weeks later, and Ward made the whole organizational process so easy! Highly recommend!

Madeline and Jake

Emerald Empire Band was the perfect choice for our wedding! They brought great energy, great music, and catered to all of our needs. Also from a professionalism standpoint, we could have not asked for better. Highly recommend!

Kelly Harris

Early on, my husband and I talked about doing live music. Both being in band ourselves, we enjoy live performances and the joy the musicians bring to any event. 10 out of 10 recommend booking Emerald Empire Band! They were so easy to work with and so much fun to have at our wedding! They did our ceremony and reception music and all the songs we specially requested sounded great. Our guests had so much fun and were always out on the dance floor! They definitely rocked it out!

Margaret Wood

Emerald Empire absolutely blew us away!!! Every guest, from our friends to my husband’s grandmother couldn’t stop raving about the band—we’re still getting compliments months later (seriously, his grandmother called yesterday to tell us that she’s been bragging to all her friends about how it was the most fun wedding she’s ever been to—and she’s 90!). The ceremony music was beautiful and the moment the band played the first note at the reception, the dance floor was packed. They played the perfect set list to get everyone dancing and our professional musician friends were flat out impressed by the musicianship. There were moments where it felt more like a concert than a wedding because everyone was so mesmerized by the band. I’ve never heard a band transition so flawlessly from Bruno Mars/Taylor Swift to Rolling Stones and Motown—they were amazing! Several of my friends have already asked about booking Emerald Empire for other events. Not only was the band amazing on the day, but Richard was so helpful leading up to the event. He followed up multiple times to go over all our music preferences and the schedule, and went above and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. They even let one of our friends use their equipment to play a song he wrote for our first dance. Emerald Empire made our night perfect and I couldn’t recommend them more highly—they will take your event to the next level!!

Carl Ganz

Emerald Empire was everything my wife and I could have imagined for our wedding day reception. The planning process was well thought out and well put together. Our producer, Justin, was a great listener and made sure he did everything in his power to ensure we received the experience we were looking for. All band members were incredible and there were an endless amount of compliments. 5 stars and HIGHLY recommend.

Lauren Vanderwood

Emerald Empire is a great band! Everyone had such a great time at our reception and they kept everyone on the dance floor all night!

It's been a little over a month since our wedding and we still have guests singing Emerald Empire Band's praises. Justin and his team were SO helpful. He answered a million messages/requests leading up to the big day and was even able to get a violinist for us as a last minute request. Emerald Empire Band played a huge role in making our wedding exactly what we dreamt of!

Everything we could have hoped for in a wedding band, without it feeling like a wedding band. They didn't have that cheesy vibe, but instead brought great musicality and a fun time to our wedding! Highly recommend. Very easy to work with before your event.

The band was a huge hit at our wedding. They did a great job of reading the room and ensuring the vibe was right for each part of the reception. We did a classic black and white theme (jazz music leading into 60’s, 70’s, 80’s hits) and they absolutely killed it. Brandon was our point of contact throughout the process, and he was extremely responsive and friendly. We really had 0 problems with Emerald Empire Band!

Clare Soffe

We booked Emerald empire band (7 piece total) for our wedding and they absolutely killed it. We’re big music people and we know a good show when we see one! Ansley was very accommodating, responsive and detailed throughout the planning process. She’s a great communicator and that was huge. We picked Stefan for our male lead and Erin for the female and were so impressed with their vocals and performance. The dance floor was crowded the entire time. They were also great about feeling out the crowd and playing what they knew would keep the party going. Thank you to all the members of the band and Ansley for making our wedding music dreams come true!!!

Incredible experience! If you are thinking of hiring a band for your event, do it! I couldn’t be happier with how effortless the planning process was. We worked with a producer who answered all of our questions and even had us fill out a planning page with our musical preferences and event info. The energy that this band brought to the dance floor was beyond my wildest dreams! They played an awesome selection of songs that aligned with our preferences and kept our guests dancing all night. I am so impressed with the musicians. They were professional and incredibly talented. We also used their photography package and our photos are GORGEOUS! I cannot believe how perfectly our day was captured! I’m so happy with the quality of our photos and I can’t believe how easy it was to hire our band and photographer together. Our guests loved the addition of the photo booth, as well. It was a huge hit at my bridal shower to capture some fun memories! All in all, I would 100% recommend Emerald Empire to anyone planning any type of party or event!

Mack Mike

Do yourself a favor and HIRE THIS BAND FOR YOUR WEDDING!! All caps is necessary! One of my best friends used the 11-piece band for her wedding in midtown Atlanta and my fiance and I danced the entire night and knew from that day on that we wanted to have them as our band for our wedding! My venue was much smaller so we had a 6-piece band and somehow they sounded just as good!!!!! I still get compliments on my band a few weeks after the wedding; people danced the entire time!! I 1,000% recommend working with Emerald Empire Band. Richard helps you customize your setlist and chooses the perfect artists for your needs. They are easy and truly enjoyable to work with!!!

Savannah Gondek

Emerald Empire Band was a blast at my recent wedding in November. The dance floor was full of energy and people were dancing all night long. I wish my reception lasted forever to continue listening to the band and dancing! Richard, the band manager, was a pleasure to work with prior to the wedding. He made everything easy and stress free. I highly recommend booking this band compared to any others out there, and I am pretty particular! I have only positive things to say about this wonderful band :) thank you EEB!

Mariah Fleming

Emerald Empire Band are incredible. They literally MADE OUR NIGHT. We had so much fun with them and got so many calls after our event asking for their contact information. They got everyone on the dance floor and having fun ALL.NIGHT.LONG. One of the best decisions. Planning process from the minute we reached out was incredible. 100% would recommend.

Kati Stewart

I used Emerald for my wedding, and they were amazingly responsive leading up to the event. The dance floor was consistently packed at the reception! They also supplied a photo booth, which our guests loved. You won’t regret booking this band for your event. Everyone at our wedding said the band was the best they had ever heard!

Jenny Smolinsky

Emerald Empire Band played at my wedding on 12/5/20 and I can't say enough good things about them! They were super friendly, knew exactly what songs to play based on my music preferences, and had everyone dancing. They were professional, made us feel safe by wearing masks and social distancing, and they are all so incredibly talented. I would recommend them to anyone for any event.

Claire Sims

This band is amazing. Also very gay friendly which is so nice! We got them because they were within the budget and I feel like we got very lucky getting them for the price we did. They were so much fun— everyone was on the dance floor! Adam was amazing to work with and we just all in all were overjoyed with how they performed. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to have the best night of their lives!

Kristin Allen

We LOVED that Emerald Empire Band was a part of our wedding day back in December! Rob, the band manager, was always super fast with responses and always so willing to answer my 8 million questions during wedding planning. The band made our wedding day SO FUN. We went with a 6 piece band and it was perfect! I can’t tell you how many people have said our reception was so much fun because of the band. I could not recommend them enough!

Lisa Hart

I was looking for an affordable band for my daughter’s wedding who would keep the reception fun and people dancing! We saw Emerald Empire at a showcase in Asheville and hired them. They excelled in every area! Derrick is quick to respond to emails and questions and wonderful to work with. At the wedding, I had several friends tell me this was the best band they had ever heard. Because the groom and many guests are musicians, this was a big compliment! Very highly recommend them for MC, ceremony and reception music!

Lila Toholsky

My husband Tanner and I had a 5-piece Emerald Empire line up for our wedding on 12.05.20 and we will never be able to say enough good things about our experience working with them or the incredible quality of their music at our wedding! Working with Kelly in the run-up to the wedding was very easy and straightforward. We were able to provide our musical preferences and they crafted a perfect line-up of musicians and an amazing setlist for our reception. On our wedding day, we were absolutely blown away by how good they sounded and how they were able to get our guests so engaged, despite having a smaller, more intimate wedding. We cannot say enough about the quality and talent of the musicians. From vocals to keys to sax to drums and guitar each of our musicians was completely amazing. They picked such a dynamic and varied setlist based on the preferences we provided. We said in the car as we drove away that we could have listened to them play for hours more! Billy also did a phenomenal job acting as our emcee for the reception. He kept everything moving along on time with a warm and upbeat (but not cheesy) style that we loved. If you are looking for wedding entertainment, particularly for your reception, we cannot recommend Emerald Empire highly enough!

Spencer Levy

Emerald Empire Band played my wedding last weekend and lived up to all the hype and expectations. Working with Justin was easy and he was a pleasure to deal with in the year leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, Sam and the entire band absolutely crushed it. I even sang two songs which they learned for day. I would recommend to anyone planning a big event. They were a blast to say the least and made our day that much better!

Trace Deighan

Could not have been happier with the Emerald Empire Band! They made a small COVID-approved wedding ceremony feel extremely lively and fun. Everyone of the guests was raving, saying it was the best wedding band they'd ever heard. All of the performers were incredibly talented. Ray was very responsive to us and even was willing to make some last minute adjustments to the lineup to accommodate us. Would highly recommend and I think some of my groomsmen are going to try and book them for their wedding next year.

Lindsey Martin

I cannot recommend the Emerald Empire Band highly enough!!! Hands down the best decision we made for our entire wedding! We had 7 piece band for our reception and a violin and cello for the ceremony. First off, it was very convenient to have a one stop shop for any of your music needs for your wedding. We ended up adding the string duet for the ceremony pretty close to the wedding. They were really mesmerizing to listen to, and helped set the tone for the ceremony. Then the band for the reception, I am still dancing to! My now husband and I are huge music people, and they were awesome!!! Our wedding was on Halloween and they played a ghost busters teaser that my guests are still raving about. I could seriously go on and on about how fantastic, energetic, and engaging they were. Richard, the coordinator, listened to everything I said and found us the most perfect sound for the whole night. Even during our dinner that the band dj’ed during their break was full of surprises that Richard and I had talked about. Get the Emerald Empire band for your wedding! I promise you will not regret it!!

Henry Fellows

The Emerald Empire Band delivered a perfect performance at our daughter's wedding reception at the Ponce City Market Rooftop on Saturday, July 13, 2019. We selected an 11 piece band, and the singers and musicians were superb. Justin was a pleasure to work with, and he was very responsive to our requests. Stefan was excellent and professional as our Master of Ceremonies. He is also an excellent singer and guitar player.

Brenda Bondesen

I cannot say enough great things about Emerald Empire – what a great group of talented musicians in diverse genres! Music was VERY important to us for the ceremony and reception, and we had a number of special requests, but Emerald was able to accommodate all of them without busting our budget. We worked with Kelly on the contract and then on the specifics – he was great, very responsive, and willing to go back and forth till we got it right. The string trio for the ceremony was beautiful, and the live jazz – WOW!! Awesome and exactly the vibe we wanted. And the DJ managed several custom edited songs and kept people dancing all night. We heard from so many of our guests how much fund they had, and I know that the music had so much to do with that – everything we wanted and more. We are so happy we found Emerald Empire!!

Holly Crotty

My clients selected Emerald Empire Band for their wedding, and I could not have been happier. The entire process from beginning to end was a breeze! The stages leading up to the wedding through to the execution was flawless. The guests had a phenomenal time and their performance was fun and exciting! I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a lively and talented group to perform.

Matheson Carroll

Emerald Empire Band is truly the BEST of the best. We booked them for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music for our wedding and they absolutely MADE the evening. Throughout the entire planning process, they were kind, professional, understanding, flexible, and fun. The coordinated well with other vendors, received our requests and questions with grace and understanding, and accommodated everything we needed and asked for. All guests and vendors RAVED about the music for the evening and how great it was. I cannot say enough good things about this incredible team--they're gifted professionals who brought our dream day to life through song and entertainment. You NEED EEB for your event!

Hannah Szvetecz

Emerald Empire Band is Truly AMAZING!! Working with them was a dream come true from start to finish. They took our idea and brought it to life on the stage, and really thought out every single detail. They created an atmosphere for us and our guests that was truly unforgettable, and it kept the dance floor full all night with every age of guest. We cannot say enough great things about Emerald Empire Band.

Liz Hyde

Emerald Empire played at my daughter's wedding this past weekend. They were fantastic! Lead singer was AMAZING, she was rocking it all night long. They expertly read the room and new exactly what song to play next. We had so much fun and the band made it that much more. Highly, Highly recommend.

Lauren O'Brian

Booking the Emerald Empire Band was THE best decision I made while planning my wedding! They were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry, made the booking and payment process very simple, gave me a reasonable quote, and were able to do everything from my ceremony music, to our cocktail hour, first dances, and the entire reception. They kept the party going the whole night! Everyone was telling me they were the best wedding band they ever heard!!!

Les Leighton

Emerald Empire Band played for my daughter's recent wedding. My daughter found them. We went with a 5 piece band and they were fantastic. Played great songs and sounded really good. Not too loud for the old folks but just load enough for the young. They gave a full effort and played with few breaks. Can't say enough good about them. I would hire in a heart beat again!

Taylor Parker

We used Emerald Empire for our wedding, and it was one of our best decisions! We had a guitar and keyboard for our ceremony and a 7 piece band for the reception. They kept our smaller (covid size) wedding on the dance floor and having a blast. No one wanted them to stop playing. My husband and I have very different music tastes; however, the band was able to accommodate both us and played everything (perfect, might I add) from Dave Matthews to Safety Dance. If you're in the market for a band (from smaller size to large number band), I highly recommend them!

Ashley Rankin

Amazing! So happy I hired them to perform at my wedding. They created the perfect vibe and the singers had amazing voices--the female vocalist even performed Beyonce songs and totally pulled it off! Andy was very prompt in responding to emails, very thorough in going over all the details, and very accessible when I had questions. Highly recommend!

Elizabeth Chase

Rob is the absolute best!! He was so timely with any questions we had and would take the time to speak with us over the phone and email multiple times leading up to the wedding and even after and was so genuine every time. The band could not have been any better! They really outdid themselves and played with so much passion. They made our reception the best we could have ever imagined and more. Our wedding guests still rave on them! We even had a friend ask them to play at their function after hearing them play at our wedding reception. Thank you so very much Rob and Emerald Empire Band!!

Dan C

Absolutely incredible! They played our wedding and were phenomenal. Not only were all 4 of them extremely talented musicians but they were a lot of fun and really kept the audience engaged.

Jordan Ezell

Ray and the whole Emerald Empire Band were unreal! Our dance floor was packed out the whole time and nobody wanted to leave. They were personal, engaging, talented, and could read the room. Ray was a hilarious emcee and was so easy to coordinate with. He made us feel totally at ease leading up to the big day. Best investment we made for our wedding!

Ryan Connolly

Emerald Empire played our wedding in Nashville back in August. With 100% of our guests travelling from other parts of the country, we wanted to make sure we threw them a huge party to make it worth their while. We couldn't have done that without this band! They were energetic, talented and knew exactly what to play to get everyone involved. They were a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding, and if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't think twice - Emerald Empire is the only way to go!

Amber Richards

You should hire this collective! Brandon was a great communicator and helped me stay on task amid all the wedding planning. The sound was great. The band--we were blown away as were our guests. Each band member was a true musician and brought their A game. All of our guests enjoyed them so much, and the band members themselves were obviously having a great time. They had so much good energy, and the song selection was right on. It was everything we had hoped for. There was even some unforeseen issues at the ceremony venue, but the issue was quickly resolved thanks to some quick thinking between the sound guy and keys player. We're lucky to have found out about these guys and to have them as a part of our memories from our special day.

Ricky Husey

This band Was the bomb!! we had a jazz trio for cocktail hour & a 5-7 person band for reception, all the guests loved them, most if not all of the band members we dancing and singing in the crowd with all of us they really felt like family the were the highlight of the night , if you debating to choose them or a DJ look not further because they did that too they as worth every penny! We’re tempted to throw another party just to book them again

Marc Kelley

Emerald Empire Band was absolutely amazing! They kept our party going and made the wedding reception so much fun. They play so many varieties of music appealing to young adults, parents and grandparents alike. Manny was so easy to work with we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with them! Highly recommend

Mary Frances Petty

What a joy it was to have Emerald Empire Band play at our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, it was very easy to communicate and plan the details of our day with Ansley. The night of our wedding the music was SO fun! Ansley and Stefan are incredible lead singers and the instruments were perfect. They played some soul, pop, even rapped a little and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for making our reception special, EEB!

Elizabeth Tuttle

These guys kept the party going all night!! Thanks to covid, we had to cut our guest number down to about 40 and I was extremely worried that the reception would be awkward and no one would dance. Emerald Empire Band made sure that was not the case! Their energy is amazing!! We seriously did not leave the dance floor the entire night. They created such a fun atmosphere and helped make our wedding day perfect. I can't recommend them enough!!

Lauren Stuman

Emerald Empire Band was the most AMAZING & PERFECT band at our wedding! They provided the most fun environment for all of our family and friends! Derrick is so easy to work with and so are the other band members. They are all genuinely nice and incredibly talented. At one point at our wedding reception, I looked back and saw everyone jumping up and down in unison. They are special because they provide an experience! Our friends and family are still saying that our wedding was the best because of Emerald Empire Band!

k F1

Working with Richard was so easy and he was nothing but helpful and happy to help. We made a last minute decision to see if we could add 2 additional people to the band from 5 to 7. Even though it was a week before the wedding, Richard made it happen and added the two additional band members. I am so glad we did. They were AMAZING!! Great variety of genres and songs. All of our guests said and continue to say how great they were and how much fun it was to have a live band like them there. Would recommend to anyone!

jtc2919

We put a lot of trust in our band and they delivered, big time! We really kept a basic, tight schedule and our main request was keep people on the dance floor. In the begining, the floor was kind of empty, but I could see them cutting songs off and moving quickly. They finally played this Harry Styles song, which I definitely didn't request, and for some reason in clicked. For the rest of the night, they kept the floor packed. My only requested song, was Shout by the Isley Brothers. I remember wondering, "Where is the song?" But, they saved it for towards the end and it killed. I was too nervous at the ceremony to remember anything and was not at cocktail hour. But, everyone from the wedding said they did a great job with the classical and jazz stuff. They have a very structured plan when you hire them. You have a form to constantly update and fill out so everyone is on the same page. Then, as the date approaches, we worked with Kelly one on one over the phone to make sure everything was to our liking. He made it really easy on us. Then the day of, they handled everything. Our officiant didn't want a mic, so they had to make a quick change and they easily did. They had all the equipment and lighting, so everything was professional. The singers and musicians sounded awesome! I only wish I could have talked with them more and thanked them personally(crazy day!). We had an amazing evening and Emerald Empire Band was one of the main reasons.

Renee

Emerald Empire Band was better than I could have imagined. I saw them live prior to booking them, so I knew they were talented, but they really do know how to keep a crowd entertained. Our guests danced the entire night and are still talking about how great they were! Prior to the actual wedding they were so easy to communicate with. I always got quick responses to my questions, and they have a website for planning/preferences that makes the process so easy to use. If you want a great band - look no further. They are worth it.

jenifer Treadway

From start to finish this is the best band EVER. The service and attention before our wedding event was spot on. The night of the wedding the band was absolute PERFECTION!!! No need to ever look elsewhere folks-Emerald Empire is AWESOME!!!

Min Adam

We are SO happy we booked Emerald Empire for our wedding in Charleston! We were so blown away by the vocalists and musicians and had so many of our guests comment on how they were one of the best bands they've heard. They were so high energy and had us and all of our guests on the dance floor the entire night! We put together a list of the type of music we like and songs that we love and the band did an incredible job of putting together a song list that everyone could dance to. The band even got some non-dancers in our group on the dance floor! Mike was both a great main contact and emcee and made the process of planning out our music so easy. He was always available for a call when we needed. He also provided suggestions for us to get exactly what we wanted without going over our budget. They were 100% worth every penny!

Alyssa Brian

BOOK THEM! Don’t even think about it. The band is the most important part of the day (besides the couple, of course)! Justin is incredible to work with! We talked on the phone many times, added things, asked for honest opinions, and just brainstormed. Guess what? Our dance floor was PACKED!!!! I am still getting messages from family and friends that they thought they were the best band. I am so happy to have had EEB at our wedding. They were an absolute dream to work with and they really do bring the party!!

Aindreas O'Donnell

We couldn’t have asked for a better performance. We requested All you Need is Love in a New Orleans style for the encore and they killed it. All the musicians came onto the floor and the crowd absolutely loved it. The lead singer even came to the club with us after and danced the rest of the night away with us. Highly recommend using these guys for whatever occasion.

Rachel Haire

This band is AMAZING!! We booked the 8 piece band, cocktail jazz trio and they handled our ceremony music. Everything was flawless!!! I still have wedding guests calling me to tell me how AMAZING this band is!! We had Tyler and Betsy as our vocalist - they killed it. The sax, trombone and trumpet were SO good. We had guests on the dance floor all night. BOOK THIS BAND NOW!! Ansley Stewart was our coordinater/planner (who is also an amazing vocalist) and she is super organized, responsive and full of fantastic suggestions. BOOK EMERALD EMPIRE NOW!! You won't regret it :)

Linda Torres

The best band in the south! Amazing sound and talented musicians, LOVE the customer service and attention to detail!

Katie Beam

The best wedding band ever! The kept the crowd dancing and singing all night long! All of our guests are still talking about how great the band was and how much fun they had at our wedding! THANK YOU to Emerald Empire Band and to Ward for making our night!

tripp a

Rob & crew were great! My wife and I booked Emerald Empire 8+ months prior to our wedding, but got side tracked and did not fill out music preferences(even with email reminders) until a month or so out.... oops. We didn't know what to expect and it was all on us. The week before the wedding Rob was making sure everything was going to run smoothly and helped with some last minute music decisions. The night finally came and the music was perfect. We had multiple guests say they forgot there was a live band and though it was a DJ set. Thanks for everything Rob & Crew!!

Lila Brock

Emerald Empire Band played at my wedding at The Homestead at Cloudland Station this past month (June 2017). Kelly is who I worked with when planning the event and he did a phenomenal job! Everything was very organized and he responded to all of my emails within 12 hours. He called me multiple times before the event to make sure he had all of the details worked out and even the correct pronunciation of names of people in the wedding party. The band arrived on time, learned particular songs that I wanted to be played, and sounded amazing! We had 220 guests and everyone could not stop complimenting how great the band was. I would highly recommend using Emerald Empire Band!

Meghan Brennan

This crew knows how to entertain! We had a nine-piece band for our wedding on October 2 at the Reynolds Sandy Creek Barn and they made the party! Every single person danced. I think I danced every song. My feet were so tired that I had to put on sneakers just an hour into the night. In addition to being wildly talented, Richard is a delight to work with—genuinely kind, down to earth and excited to bring your wedding or event dreams to fruition. I would hire them again IN A SECOND!

Victoria Gryniewski

Emerald Empire Band was wonderful for my March 2021 wedding. Responsive and great to work with during the planner stages and so much fun at the reception. They kept the guests dancing all night and our guests still talk about them!

Bob Segal

We booked the Empire Band for our daughter's wedding that was held at Vinewood Stables in Newnan Ga. It was absolutely the best decision we made with regard to my daughter's wedding. The played almost non-stop and had the entire crowd dancing. Great sound and great selection of songs. The vocals were ourstanding !! Great time had by all and my guests cannot stop raving about how great the band was. A special thanks to Richard, the band leader and coordinator who was so easy to work with. They use a fantastic interactive website to input your requests. Also he has a per piece pricing model that is easy to follow. We had a guitarist for the ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail hour and an 8 piece band for the reception...absolutely outstanding...Thanks again Richard !!

Marianne Gebhardt

Justin was awesome!! Not only does the DJ get the party started but he truly has a special relationship with the Bride & Groom month’s before their special day from finding that special song for the processional to their first dance till their final send-off. Justin definitely made that happen! Justin was truly great to work with and will definitely refer him to our future brides.

Madison Crow

Rob was very quick at responding to any questions I had and when booking and coordinating our schedule for the day of our wedding. He made sure he understood the timeline and was always very professional whenever we spoke over the phone, text, or emails. The band sounded wonderful! I could not of asked for a better band for our wedding. They got our guest involved and on the dance floor. Thank you for helping make our day special and a fun time!

Kathryn McCollum

We used Emerald Empire Band for our wedding reception. Brandon was awesome to work with and answered all my questions quickly. He was also very professional and made sure he knew exactly the kind of band and atmosphere we wanted. The band was great and we received lots of compliments from our guests. We would definitely recommend them!

Katelin Harris

We had such a magical experience with this band for my wedding event! They read the room and made us feel apart of family. Words cannot describe how awesome this band is! Professional, early to show up, and they can play almost every song you can imagine! Highly recommend!!!

Charlotte Wegmann

I could not have been more THRILLED will this band!!!!! Literally everyone from my 14 year old niece to my 90 year old grandmother (and everyone in between) said something to me about how great/fun/awesome the band was. They have so much talent and diversity - I mean Motown, 90s, rock, Grateful Dead and a special Britney Spears compilation just for me :) they could do anything. I’d recommend them to any and everyone ever. So pleased. They could not have been better.

Samantha Truman

If you haven't picked out a band yet go with Emerald Empire Band and you won't regret it! They really know how to play to the crowd to get everyone on the dance floor and I can't tell you how many people came up to me throughout the wedding night to tell me how great the band was. I can't thank Emerald Empire Band enough for making a special day even more special!

Emma and Joseph Barry

We hired EEB for our recent wedding, and it was the best decision ever! Our guests are still raving about how much they loved our band. We went with a four piece, and it was perfect. They did an amazing job at reading the room and choosing songs accordingly. We agreed that out of every decision we made for the entire wedding, choosing them was the absolute best one. We had everything from Otis Redding to Prince to Backstreet Boys, and it all sounded great. They made it really enjoyable for us and all of our guests. You will not be disappointed! Thank you guys so so much!

Taylor Golden

Emerald Empire was so easy to work with- Mike was extremely helpful. I loved the live web page that let us list our preferences and schedule. The band, Laiken Love & The Fellowship of Love, was absolutely wonderful. The music was lively and we had so much fun. They were awesome!

Michele Sutcliffe

The band was absolutely awesome. They played great music all night and we had such a great time dancing!! We were so happy with how everything flowed during the evening! This is the band you want for your wedding!!!

Mike Wood

Emerald Empire played at our daughter's wedding and they were amazing. A good friend who never misses a wedding said it was the best wedding band he has ever heard. Everyone had a great time and the horn section was incredible! Emerald Empire was the perfect choice.

Steven Bisaga

Emerald Empire Band was amazing! We recently had them at our wedding and the dance floor was full all night! They did a great job of playing to the crowd and keeping everyone entertained. Brandon was awesome to work with! Highly recommend EEB!

Herbert Miller

The Emerald Empire Band played at a wedding we attended in Nashville over the Memorial Day weekend. Simply put, they are the best dance band I have heard in a long, long time. All genres, artists, and styles. Their lead female vocal is a rock star! 5 stars!

Annie Dobbins

When we first booked with Emerald Empire Band for my wedding I was very nervous of how the collaboration would turn out. I didn't know how taking different independent musicians and putting them together would work but I trusted the reviews and went with my gut. IT WAS AWESOME! I worked with Bethany and her and her team that evening rocked it. We got married at Wavering Place outside under a tent in a tropical storm and the dance floor stayed packed. Everyone had a blast. They even played special songs that I wrote down as must hear songs. The band and food can make or break a wedding and Emerald Empire Band definitely made it a night to remember! Thank you!!!

Geri Warman

Emerald Empire band performed at my daughters wedding this past weekend. They did the most AMAZING job and so many people commented on what a good band they were. They got everyone on the dance floor throughout the night and did a wonderful job announcing things. Brandon was polite, professional and always answered my questions in a timely manner. I highly recommend this band for ANY event!

Kendall Denson

From the very beginning they were amazing!! From the planning to nailing down details to the reception they were beyond awesome!!! The band was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better band !! They were so much fun and everyone still talks about how great they were!! 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Lauren Marie Sullivan

Emerald Empire played at our wedding, and was amazing beyond our wildest dreams. They were able to accommodate a ton of special requests, including our first dance, which sounded just like the original. Even with the heat of a South Carolina summer, people couldn't keep off the dance floor! We were so happy to have EE to provide a fantastic vibe and all the awesome tunes as the backdrop to our big day!

Beth Bradham

I would hire Emerald Empire for any event! CJ and his band were absolutely amazing! Everyone is still talking about our wedding reception and how great it was!

Amber Nadeau

Look no further. The best there ever was. Made our wedding the best for not only us but all of our guests.

Terrj Scarborough

This band was terrific! After postponing our daughter's wedding for a year, they worked with us to make sure all of the details were just perfect and quickly answered our questions and concerns. Emerald Empire was great to work with from start to finish, excellent music for all of the guests and did not disappoint. A special thanks to Kelly and Dustin!

nate smith

After having the band out for a Formal Dinner, I was very pleased. The band sounded very good. They were professional and easy to communicate with throughout the night. When you compare the cost of the band vs a high level dj, I would recommend the presence of the band for sure. Emerald Empire was a great addition to the evening and left everyone raving.

Savannah Hughes

Emerald Empire Band is AMAZING. They helped us work through music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and reception for our NYE wedding. They are organized, talented and SUPER organized. Do not hesitate to book them for your upcoming event -- you will not be disappointed.

Maddie Black

Hired them for my wedding in May 2021 and they are absolutely incredible! The entire process from getting a quote to booking them to the big day was so effortless. We had a day wedding which is usually hard to get people on the dance floor, but they managed to make it happen! We had a 3 piece band and the guys were just so great!!! Highly recommend this company for any wedding or big event!!

Will Ward

Incredible band! So much talent and so much fun with crowd interaction. We booked Emerald Empire band for our wedding and loved them! Ward was so great to deal with throughout the whole process from booking, to planning and of course the event itself. Very professional and a joy to work with. My wife and I had different things we wanted from the band as far as songs and genres; they did exactly what was needed to make us both happy and have the whole place electric throughout the entire night! Couldn’t be happier with a wedding/event band. BOOK THEM, YOU WILL BE SO GLAD YOU DID!!!

William Swisher

This band was AMAZING. We had them for a wedding in May and they exceeded our expectations. Tons of energy and incredibly talented musicians. We had multiple guests tell us how much they loved the band. They are also professional and great to work with. The manager we worked with, Chris Croce, was excellent and extremely helpful through the whole process. He always wanted what was best for us, and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend this band!!

Jessica Heaton

Best. Band. Ever!!!! They rocked my wedding and they were so organized and professional leading up to my wedding!!! I 100% recommend them!!!

Autumn Greenleaf

We had a great experience with Emerald Empire Band. They were quick in their responses, thorough with logistics and making sure we understood everything that was happening, and took our vision and made it a reality at the event itself. I would recommend them to anyone! And absolutely use them again.

Jennifer Johnson

Just say YES to Emerald Empire Band! As a planner, it’s so wonderful to have vendors that are responsive during the planning process. Kelly was always quick to reply, even when he was busy, he would let me know that he got my message and would get back to me as soon as he could. Our most recent wedding was at Cator Woolford Gardens where amplified music is not allowed. This can make things a bit challenging for live music, but they just sounded so amazing you didn’t even notice that there weren’t any speakers. 🌸Blush Pink Weddings highly recommends Emerald Empire Band.

Kristen Martin

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was having EEM perform at our wedding! My husband and I spent awhile trying to find the perfect entertainment and when we came across this band, we knew they were it. Kelly was a dream to work with and helped out tremendously with the ceremony and reception schedule. Everything went seamlessly and they were so professional and fantastically talented. The dancefloor stayed full all night long and their questionnaire on our music style was easy to use and gave us exactly what we wanted to hear on our wedding night. They even did the sound for our ceremony and it was perfect- there's nothing worse than not being able to hear the officiant and couple, but they did an excellent job making sure we were heard by everyone. But once it got to the reception, we were completely blown away! These talented musicians were more than we could've ever hoped for and my husband I and fully plan on going to hear them again at one of their showcases to relive the best day of our life. We can literally not thank them enough for making our day so special and amazing. Fans for life.

Talia Petite

First of all, RAY is absolutely phenomenal to work with. He was always avaible to answer any questions I had and helped my husband and I plan the best music for our big day. We went with a 7 piece band and it was perfect. The dance floor was always full and it was much better than having a DJ. All musicians were professional and very talented. Highly recommend

Sunny Crutchfield

Your search is over..BOOK THIS BAND!!! The Emerald Empire Band is the best of the best! They care deeply about the client experience, which isn't always easy to find. They play a variety of different sounds making them sound perfect for any audience. I promise, the energy they bring will FLOOD the dance floor with your guests! Anyone would be lucky to have these guys start the party.

Alice Neff

This band is fantastic! There are so many musicians in it, and every one of them is excellent, and they play so well together. The lead singers are both fantastic, and the female one in particular is so much fun to watch onstage. They can play any song, as far as I can tell. We went to a NYE party where they were the band, and it was the best NYE party we’ve ever been to. We will be looking for many more opportunities to hear them.

Caitlyn Stroh-Page

Emerald Empire was the absolute best! We got so many compliments on our wedding band choice. They kept everybody rockin’ and dancing all night. If 6 stars was an option, we would pick that.

Caroline Neely

Emerald Empire was absolutely everything we wanted and more for our wedding day! They were extremely communicative and eager to help leading up to the day. On the day of they were very prompt, professional, and created an atmosphere of joy and celebration! Highly recommend hiring them.

Nico Lembo

I used this band for my wedding and I could not have been more pleased. They were very professional and the band leader worked very closely with my wife to put together a great set list that the crowd loved. They had our guests on the dance floor all night. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable option for a band.

Allyn Rosenbloum

CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS BAND! From start to finish, they were professional, responsive, AMAZING musicians, and just all around lovely people that you want to be surrounded by on your wedding day. Literally, they made our ceremony and after party so extremely special. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely hire them again for any future event. Lovely people. Amazing music. Professional. Just amazing.

Melissa Davis

This is hands down, the best wedding band that you could hire! We had compliment after compliment from our guests, and were having so much fun that the night FLEW by! We loved Emerald Empire Band!!

Anna Beth Boehme

This was the best band I could have ever imagined having at my wedding! After our wedding, our guests were asking about them thinking they were friends of ours because they were so friendly with us the way they talked about us and our wedding party! They really made our reception so fun and warm! You won’t regret having them at your wedding.

Kate Ducote

Best money we ever spent! So many people told us how it was the best band they've ever heard and the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. They were incredible, and I would not have changed a thing. I was very hands-off and just gave them a few songs and genres and told them to do their thing! They also talked with the coordinator and figured out the whole schedule - I didn't really have to do a thing. One quick phone call with Ansley (literally ten minutes) and everything was good to go! Highly recommend to everyone and anyone

josh shockley

Could not have asked for a better band for our wedding. Ward and his team absolutely crushed it. String quartet -- beautiful. Jazz Trio -- set the tone. 7 Piece Band -- brought the house down. 10/10 Would Recommend.

Andrew Baalerud

By far the best wedding band for the money! It felt more like a rock concert rather than your typical wedding band. Very talented and professional musicians who can cater exactly to your taste and preferences. Brandon and his team were very helpful, responsive and organized from start to finish. Both the music and service deserve 5-stars.

Molly Hunt McKinley

I cannot say enough about Emerald Empire as a planner. They are the most organized band that we work with and always provide incredible entertainment. I know I can count on them 100% to perform and create an amazing party. They are extremely easy to work with which adds so much value to the experience. Would recommend them 100%!

Char Nicols

Some of the best musicians I've heard at a wedding in a long time! Also, the MC was so great at getting the crowd involved and they definitely kept everyone dancing. We didnt want the night to end it was so much fun!

Nick Persico

Amazing. They met and exceeded our expectations. From first communication to wedding night, the band nailed every aspect of making our dream wedding happen.

Sarah Hammond

The band learned and performed four songs specifically for our wedding that were off the beaten path to PERFECTION! A guest commented that "even if you would've had your wedding in a trailer park, that band would've still made your reception awesome!" LOL. Would highly recommend Emerald Empire to anyone in need of a party band!!! Actually, we already have...

caroline Starnes

Please do yourself a favor and book this band!!! They are incredibly talented, accommodating, and know how to bring the party! We had to delay our reception because of inclement weather and these guys played the entire night without a single break to make us feel like the night was a nonstop good time! Even weeks after the event we still have guests telling us how they absolutely loved our band! Contact this band for your event you won’t regret it!!!!

Carol Graham

This band was fantastic! They played for my daughters wedding and they were great! Ward , the guy who organized everything was so kind and helpful. We had to reschedule 2 times because of COVID and he was so accommodating, we were lucky they weren’t already booked! Anytime I had a question Ward always called me right back and assured and reassured me and my worries! I can’t say enough about him and the band . My daughter and my friends absolutely loved them! I recommend them highly! Carol S

Matt Baldwin

Highly recommend this group. Easy to work with, very accommodating, especially the day of the wedding. Talented musicians with a great repertoire. Definitely recommend adding the horn section.

Tucker Hartley

This band ROCKS! They played so many different genres flawlessly and seamlessly and kept an incredibly high energy from the first song to the last. They were so professional and easy during the booking process, and I am in awe of the show they put on at our wedding. They got grandparents who haven't danced in a decade out on the dance floor for hours and absolutely killed the performance. They also were so helpful in taking over the announcing/MC duties for the reception and were so genuinely interested in making sure we had a good time. I'm pretty sure they even learned a new song during their break just because we requested it (needless to say they crushed it when it came up). I don't have even a shred of complaint about any facet of the experience with them and cannot possibly recommend them strongly enough. Book them now or forever regret it!

Grace Izard

We got tons of compliments on the band. Everything was really wonderful. Justin was extremely helpful before. I can’t believe they learned our first dance song to perfection. We were blown away! I do wish we could have specifically chosen the songs as there were some I didn’t like played but understand why they don’t allow for that.

Michelle Iacono

Emerald Empire Band was perfect! Working with Lee was effortless and all of our desires for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception band were fulfilled. Thank you!

King Street Hospitality

If you're looking for a band that can provide entertainment for your entire wedding, we highly recommend Emerald Empire! From ceremony acoustics to cocktail hour trios, dinner sets + dancing music, their musicians can do it all! In addition to offering a wide variety of musical entertainment, Mike + Richard are both familiar with our venues’ policies, ensuring a seamless planning process + well prepared performance. From guest arrival to your sparkler exit, these guys are always entertaining!

Maria Pak

The band was very professional, timely, and everything they played sounded amazing. We enjoyed working with them and have no complaints about their professionalism or the quality of their music. We did dislike the amount of time between songs, which got awkward & during which many people left the dance floor, because they seemed a bit ill prepared and had to discuss which song was next. We also wished the band was better at reading the crowd & increasing the tempo of the music accordingly; in addition the music on the iPod that plays during the band's breaks is kind of weird, quiet elevator music so maybe be specific in what you want the band to play during their break.

Hannah Coulter

I had seen them play at other weddings and thought they were awesome. Unfortunately at my wedding they were pretty sub par with an expensive price tag. They mostly played Blues and Rock which I specifically said I was not interested in. When I brought this up post wedding, I was told it was because I booked too small of a band (4-person). Obviously if it was a too small of a band to execute the music I wanted, they should have told me since I made an extensive customized profile of what I was looking for. The main singer wasn't engaging and the music in between was very quiet which cleared the dance floor. I had my entrance song and first dance songs on my phone but they were unable to use them because they didn't have an adapter which could have been planned for. Definitely didn't ruin my day or anything but was disappointed.

Rob Gole

The band was fantastic. It started with the ceremony and Tyler hit it out of the park when Jennifer and I walked down the aisle to an acoustic guitar version of the Etta James song- At Last. The reception was a home run. Everyone- young and old were raving and ranting about the band. Even Jennifer's 89 year old grandmother is still talking about the band.The dance floor was packed most of the night. The variety of songs - many requested by the bride and groom - were executed flawlessly. Many thanks to Justin for making it happen. If you are looking for a band, look no further- you will not be disappointed.

Lindsey Fouts

Having a live band at our wedding made all the difference in the world! They have multiple different options for "piece" numbers of the members to fit every space and budget. They were extremely helpful in narrowing types of music for the ceremony and reception when we felt like our heads were spinning with options and ideas. They were also very thorough about the recorded songs we wanted played during their breaks, and top to bottom kept the party going all night!

Casey Harper

I recently attended a wedding that an Emerald Empire band played at and it was THE MOST fun I’ve had at a wedding. They did such a good job at getting everyone dancing. It was a blast!!!

Sarah Barintine

Amazing to work with! Detailed planning and excellent execution! Highly recommend for any occasion, especially weddings.

Ally Stevens

I've had EEB on several events I curate music for and they are without a doubt the best at what they do. They are so on top of things... their showmanship and talent is beyond compare and their pre-event organization is utterly refreshing!

Travis Fowler

If you need a keep-the-party-dancing, high-energy band, then look no further than the Emerald Empire Band. They were such a hit at our work Christmas Party. I would absolutely recommend them!

Samantha VanDuyne

Seriously the life of the party! We knew after seeing them perform at a friends wedding we wanted them at ours, and they did not disappoint! Ray was great to work with and every guest at the wedding had great things to say about the band! Highly recommend!

Reid Vineis

Big fans. Can't say enough good things. All our guests complimented us on the band. They made our wedding a blast! Fran and team were great. Totally worth it. Stop searching and just book them today!

Nicholas Lembo

This band played at my wedding. Richard and company were very accommodating, even after it snowed the day before our reception! They worked closely with my wife and I to make sure the evening went off without a hitch. Definitely would highly recommend this band to anyone!

Hannah W

Amazing experience and AWESOME wedding band! Talented group!

Faith Rakestraw Grill

I can’t say enough good things about EEB. From quotes, to planning, to the night of... they were amazing! Brandon was so easy to communicate with and made the perfect timeline. Adam and the band kept EVERYONE on the dance floor... even my 79 year old grandma! Worth every penny and then some.

Suzie Bunn

Ray is the absolute best most fun energetic person ever and this band always makes for such a great time! Love working with them! Highly recommend.

frances deschenes

BOOK THEM NOW!!!! This band is awesome! they killed it at my wedding and kept everyone dancing all night. Manny is so great to work with and listens to all of your needs and wants. I can not tell you how many people have asked me who they were. Stop looking this is your band!

Andante Nooner

I saw these guys at a wedding a few months ago. Simply incredible! Easily the best wedding band I've seen, especially in this area!! My wife and I will be hiring these guys to play our anniversary when we renew our vows.

Courtney Martin

This is the band to book for your event, no question about it! the process leading up was professional - they have an amazing planning tool and all details were secured in advance. The entertainment and lighting was beyond what we could have hoped for. Our guests were literally moving tables to dance, it was by far the best night of our conference!!

Kristina Eaton

Such a great group of professional musicians! Easy to work with. Great variety of music. The performers engage the audience and create the perfect celebratory atmosphere for any event!

Nolan Adderholt

Emerald Empire played for my sister's wedding in Oxford, MS. They were awesome, and played a great variety of music. I would highly recommend them!

Jill Sullivan

Incredibly professional and easy to work with! Emerald Empire Band's musicians are SO talented and kept everybody dancing all night long!

Patten Neal

We received so many compliments on the band's energy. They knew exactly what to play to keep the crowd dancing and were so professional, we never had to worry about a thing. Highly recommend!

tristan king

I can't say enough positive things about his band. We had a mix group of all ages for a fund raiser, some very stuffy people and some newer younger people. The minute they picked up their instruments, people were dancing. The songs were perfect. They made my fundraiser so fun. FUN and AMAZING are the best words to describe them. We will use them again.

Jen Lackey

It was a pleasure to work with EEB for Laura and Trent's wedding at Foxhall! The band did a fabulous job and got the party going. Everyone loved them! I look forward to working with EEB again soon!

James L

Brandon and the band were excellent throughout the whole process. They made it easy and fun, keeping the crowd engaged and sounding great all night. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

The Yoj Team

Our team loves working with Emerald Empire Band! So versatile + talented. Would definitely recommend to liven up your event!

Jan Trapani

Don't hire this band if you even think you could possibly have an unexpected problem come up.My son hired Emerald Empire for their wedding Sept 9th at Wild Dunes Resort unfortunately because of Hurricane Irma the resort forced them to change the date to Friday the 8th or cancel the wedding when my son contacted Richard and explained the situation Richard could only provide a saxophone player for the second line and the worst DJ I have ever seen at an event Richard refuses to refund any money and my son paid him in full a week before the wedding because he wanted his bride to have the one thing she wanted a great party band to make the night unforgettable Well Richard said he couldn't find even a 3 piece band to play so when he says he has all these great musicians he can connect with don't believe him. When there's a problem all Richard will do is take the money and run

Brooke Attenhofer

Emerald Empire Band is AMAZING!! They make the whole process so easy and our dance floor was packed all night long!

Ester Haymond

I'm telling you, look no further! These musicians can put on a party!!! My daughter's wedding reception in Columbia, SC, was so much fun because these guys wouldn't have it any other way! 5+ stars!

Bailey Fox

Wildflower Wedding Planning always loves working with you all!! Thank you so much for your hard work and talent!

Chris West

Highly recommended. I've seen these guys twice now, once at a wedding and once at a venue in downtown Nashville (I think it was a showcase of some sort). Had me dancing the whole night!

REVIEW MANY BANDS AND LANDED ON EMERAL EMPIRE. WOULD FOR SRE HIRE THEM AGAIN

Clay Carroll

Astonishingly good. Well prepared, well mixed, and top notch. Can't recommend enough.

Jessica Marzan

BEST LIVE BAND HANDS DOWN.

Matthew Smart

Band was absolutely incredible.

Jacob Bushey

They were excellent!

Allie Coode

As a wedding planner, it is often I refer to bands as being "high maintenance". That most certainly was not the case with the Emerald Empire Band! The communication process with them from start to finish was delightful, and enjoyable! On the day of the event, I was blown away by their overall professionalism, ease, and performance as the main entertainment. I will definitely be recommending the Emerald Empire Band to all of my clients in pursuit of a band for their event, and hope to work with them many more times in the future!
