  • Great music, but poor execution ruined key moments

    Diamond Empire Band kept the dance floor going later in the night, but they completely mishandled critical moments. We spent months preparing our bridal party entrance - even creating a homemade movie projected on the tent ceiling of me at 6 years old talking about my future wedding, which we worked with a DJ to seamlessly transition into Avicii’s “Levels.” All they had to do was play the track, but instead the music was cut before I even reached the dance floor, wasting months of planning in seconds. The band did sound great once the reception picked up, but their lack of execution and awareness at key moments was a major disappointment.

  • They made the event!!

    We got SO many compliments on the band. People were talking about it for weeks after the wedding

  • Good music, poor operations tainted ceremony

    We hired Dee Brown and the Diamond Empire Band for our wedding on October 5th in Telluride. While the band played a good reception and followed our setlist, their operational execution was terrible, causing significant stress and disappointment. They may play good music, but they lack reliability, communication, and client empathy. If you want a stress-free wedding, I strongly recommend against hiring them. Key Issues: Failure to Use Provided Lodging: We paid for two nights of lodging (Friday and Saturday) so the band could arrive early. Despite receiving the hotel confirmation on July 31st, they didn’t use the Friday night reservation, wasting approximately 500. They had booked another gig the night before and never told us, which would have allowed us to cancel the reservation and avoid unnecessary costs. Late Arrival and Setup Failures: The band was scheduled to arrive by 2:00 pm for setup and soundcheck, which included providing a keyboard and acoustic guitar for our friends performing our ceremony music. They arrived at 4:35 pm—just 25 minutes before the ceremony—leaving no time for a soundcheck or rehearsal. Worse, the keyboard they brought had a broken pedal, and they forgot the acoustic guitar. This delayed our ceremony and cut into our 20K venue time, causing immense stress for us, our planner, and our friends. Our planner, in tears, told us just 10 minutes before the ceremony that it couldn’t be executed as intended. Imagine hearing that right before the biggest moment of your life. Lack of Professionalism Post-Event: Dee Brown, who planned the event with us, never apologized. We reached out a week later to thank them for the reception but also requested a partial refund for the issues. Dee ignored our messages and additional outreach from our planner. Nearly nine weeks later, there’s still no response from him. We eventually heard from Curtis Brink, the co-owner, who only offered excuses for their tardiness and the broken keyboard, dismissing the situation with “things happen.” Even our experienced wedding planner expressed disappointment, stating in an email: “As a planner, we try our best to prevent these issues—overcommunicating and booking early reservations. Unfortunately, I no longer feel confident recommending Diamond Empire Band to future clients.” Final Thoughts: While Diamond Empire Band played well, their operational mismanagement and lack of accountability were deeply disappointing. They failed to communicate, take responsibility, or show empathy. We hope they improve, but based on our experience, we cannot recommend them to others seeking a reliable wedding band. Feel free to comment if you’d like to discuss specifics or get recommendations on protecting yourself when contracting with this band.

    Hello Brad, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are grateful that you and your guests enjoyed the music and that the reception had a lively and energetic atmosphere with a full dance floor throughout the night. Delivering an exceptional musical experience is always our top priority, and we are proud that we could achieve that on your special day. However, we also acknowledge the operational challenges and take your concerns seriously. We would like to provide clarification and context to address the specific issues you mentioned: Our delayed arrival on the day of your event was due to an unexpected road closure on NM HW 491 which made the drive hours longer than planned. This was entirely out of our control. Despite this, Dee and the team worked quickly to set up and have the necessary equipment ready so the ceremony could start on time. We acknowledge how our later-than-expected arrival resulted in unwanted stress, and to address this, we refunded you the full cost of the ceremony performance. Regarding the lodging, we fully refunded the cost of the Friday night as soon as we became aware of your concerns. While we understand the frustration caused by this miscommunication, we made every effort to rectify the situation. We value client feedback as it helps us improve. While we strive for perfection, we recognize there were areas in this instance where we could have done better. Your feedback will guide us as we continue to refine our operations to ensure every event runs as smoothly as possible. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness. Warm regards, Diamond Empire Band

    Diamond Empire Band was an excellent choice for our wedding. They were online friendly and easy to communicate with, which made booking them a breeze. During our cocktail hour and reception, they played a great selection of music that appealed to our guests of all ages and musical tastes. As a "crown pleaser", they kept our dance floor packed all night long with their energetic and professional performance. We were thrilled with the quality of their work and the value they provided for our special day.
