    AMAZING!!

    Emerald Empire Band was absolutely AMAZING! They exceeded all of our expectations and kept the energy high all night long. Guests were on the dance floor before dinner was even over, which says everything about how incredible they were. They created such a fun atmosphere and truly kept the party going from start to finish. Even after the wedding, our guests couldn't stop talking about how fantastic the band was. Hiring Emerald Empire Band was one of the best decisions we made!

    10/10 Wedding Band

    We hired Emerald Empire for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the free showcase, to calls with the producer, to filling out the planning dashboard, they made the process so easy. On the day of, Emerald Empire Band kept our dance floor packed all night long! Their talent is unbelievable, and they know exactly how to read a room to keep the energy high. We had so many guests ask us where we found the band—they truly made the reception an unforgettable party.

    Best wedding band ever!

    I couldn't believe the talent and energy that Emerald Empire Band brought. We were absolutely blown away with how fun all of the performers are. They were extremely personable. The set list was PERFECT too. Working with Aisha leading up the wedding was a dream.

    The Best Party Ever!

    We cannot say enough good things about this band! From start to finish, the energy was absolutely perfect and felt so “us.” They created the most incredible atmosphere and truly gave us the best party of our lives. So many of our guests kept asking where we found them and couldn’t stop talking about how fun they were. People loved how they came out onto the dance floor, sang with us, and completely engaged with everyone—it made the entire night feel so interactive and unforgettable. They worked closely with us leading up to the wedding to make sure everything flowed perfectly, and it really showed. Everything felt seamless, elevated, and so well thought out. We are beyond grateful for the experience they created for us. Truly an unbelievable band, and we would recommend them a thousand times over!

    Best. Day. Ever.

    From our first conversation, Emerald Empire Band understood what we wanted for our wedding day. Adam and the team were responsive and clear throughout the planning process, and their detailed planning document gave us confidence that everyone was on the same page. On the night of the wedding, they brought serious energy to the reception—our guests were dancing the entire time, and the band's talent and professionalism showed in every song they played. What impressed us most was how seamlessly everything went; even though I'm a type A planner by nature, the evening would have been perfect with zero prep work on our end. Emerald Empire clearly knows weddings inside and out. We couldn't have asked for a better band, and we'd recommend them in a heartbeat.

Of course! We love to travel! We do charge extra for the time depending on the location and you’ll need to cover transportation and accommodation for all band members. Ask your producer for a quote based on the specifics of your event. PS–if it’s within a couple hours, that’s included within our basic package at no added charge.
You can request different styles in our online planning system depending on the formality of your event.
We do! See our events page for more details.
Absolutely! We’re an all-inclusive band with a broad musical repertoire. Want classical music for your ceremony, a jazz set for your cocktail hour, and dance party reception? You’ve got it. Speak to your producer for more specific details and requests.
We play a wide variety of music. From Top 40, to classics, to classical and jazz. You can get an idea of the musical styles you can choose from on our media page.
We have a solid repertoire of songs that will please all of your guests from your 6-year old niece to your grandfather. It’s always important to have some freedom to read the room on the night; but our number one priority is pleasing YOU. Just let us know what you want to hear, and, if it’s not already in our repertoire, we’ll work with you to make your night perfect.
Of course! Just make sure you give us enough notice of your special request so the band has time to learn your song.
The band can absolutely play during dinner, but we’d recommend using your sets when your guests are ready to stand up and get dancing. Our typical event reception includes 4 x 50-minute sets with short DJ sets between the band sets. If you would like a dinner set, please let us know ahead of time as we defer to playing after-dinner sets unless otherwise instructed.
