Clark Eno Orchestra was outstanding! Clark was delightful to work with leading up to the wedding. We choose from their extensive song list so the band knew our music preferences and we requested music that would get all the guests dancing and they executed! The MC was also a complete delight!
Clark Eno Orchestra was so fun and really brought the party! Clark is wonderful and so easy to work with, accommodating specific requests. He brought fun lights which helped cultivate a great dance floor atmosphere. We had a lot of professional musicians in attendance at the wedding and everyone was so impressed by Clark and the band. Would hire again 100x over!
Clark was so amazing to work with! He made the whole process easy and helped answered questions we had along the way. We got compliments all night long on how amazing the band was!! He was so accommodating when we had a couple singers in the crowd, and he made our day extra special. And he is just such a genuine person to top it off! You won't be disappointed!
Clark ENO is the Best!!!
I have worked with Clark Several times and our latest was my daughter's wedding on October 22nd. Clark is a professional, very accommodating and simplifies the planning process. His Band is terrific, and he kept multiple generations dancing until the end. Clark Thank You Again for the Great Memories
Clark Eno Orchestra are fantastic. Clark was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the planning and went out of his way to help us execute a vision we had for the music at our wedding, including allowing my husband and several friends and family members to take the stage at various points to perform. The band is incredibly talented, passionate, and entertaining. They mastered the songs we requested and kept the whole party dancing until the very end. Everyone was so impressed. Do not hesitate to have them for your wedding! Seriously best wedding band EVER!
Clark and his team of musicians are INCREDIBLE. Working with Clark was an absolute pleasure - he was responsive, attentive, and went WAY above and beyond to deliver the most amazing performance for our wedding. We are so fortunate to have worked with him and his talented band members, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Absolutely amazing! The vocals, the vibe everything was perfect from the first time I spoke to Clark to finishing up the final details of planning. My guest wanted more at the end of the night because of how amazing they are! Best band ever!
We could not have been happier with Clark and his team. The guests loved it and were on the dance floor all night. They played and sounded amazing. We were so happy we picked them. Clark was so easy to work with and did everything he could to take the stress off of us. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch band (not to mention at a very fair price). Thanks Clark!
Wow! We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Clark Eno Orchestra. They played at our wedding and it was amazing! People danced the entire night, didn’t want the music to end! If you are looking for a band that will deliver top notch live music with energy and talent, then this is your band. Clark was so easy to communicate with and felt like part of our family. 10/10 Clark Eno Orchestra!
The Clark Eno Orchestra knows how to throw a party! We knew when we first heard this band ten years ago that they would be our wedding band. They have played at all three of our daughter’s weddings. Clark and the band members are gifted musicians who have fun while making sure your event Is over the top! We couldn’t imagine a wedding without them.
Clark's band was hands down my favorite aspect of my wedding. Clark was wonderful to work with, so organized. They took all the extra steps necessary to ensure our reception would go smoothly, something that required extra work because we didn't have a typical wedding venue. Most importantly, they sounded unbelievable. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night! The band and singers were so amazing, some of our guests joked that they felt like they were at a concert. We all felt like we could just listen to them play and sing all night long. Weeks after the wedding, people were still talking about how incredible the band was and asking who they were so they could hire them for their wedding one day. I highly recommend that you do the same!
Amazing! The Clark Eno band is fantastic. I worked with Clark on every last detail, he communicated to Kellee who ran my event flawlessly. Clark unfortunately could not attend, he was over 3500 miles away in CA and my event still ran perfectly. I recommend this orchestra so much, they take care of every last detail, all you have to do is dance and enjoy. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Clark and his band members, very professional, adapting to volume control during dinner, the talent is A+. I have tears in my eyes as I type this, my wedding was perfect and so much of the reason was because the Clark Eno Orchestra is top notch. Do not hesitate to hire them, you will not be disappointed.
Could not say enough good things about working with Clark! We really wanted a band and after we spoke with Clark and saw the band perform there was no question who we would use for our wedding. He was so responsive, the consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to speak with. All night guests were coming up to us saying how awesome they thought the band was. The dance floor was never empty. One of the best choices we made!
WOW. We had a fantastic experience working with Clark and his band! Clark was incredibly kind, helpful, responsive, and accommodating throughout the planning process. He answered our many questions quickly and thoroughly, and he took great interest in customizing our reception to match our vision. We were SO impressed by the band's performance that night!! We had the full 10 piece ensemble, and they blew everyone away! The dance floor was packed all night. We received so many compliments on the music, many guests saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We can't thank Clark and his talented group enough for making our wedding insanely fun!!
Clark and his band are incredibly easy to work with and sound amazing!
Our wedding band was the hardest vendor for us to lock down. My fiancé and I spoke to over 20+ bands to find a team that matched the sound that we were looking for and were within the budget we needed to hit. We were less than 2 months away from our wedding date when we stumbled upon Clark's page. After listening to a few videos we decided to contact Clark. He was immediately responsive and invited us to see his band preform in Danbury, CT.
[Side note, many of the bands we reached out to did not perform live. That made both my fiancé and I pretty uncomfortable. Not knowing what your band sounds like live before the big day was a big no-no for us]
Once we met Clark and heard the Orchestra play, we knew we found the right sound. They played all the classics, had a lot of fun on stage, and got the crowd going. You could tell from their vibe that this was a team that has been playing together for a long time. We hired them a few days after seeing the play.
Clark provided us a list with all of the songs in his repertoire and we picked out what we'd like to hear. On the big-day, he stuck to the script and then some! The team learned our first song and killed it. We loved the band and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great team to work with!
The Clark Eno Orchestra is simply incredible. My husband and I are both musicians and we can testify that these guys are top notch. We were looking for a big funk soul band to rock our wedding and these guys blew everyone away. We even performed 2 songs with the band.
Clark was very sweet and responsive in advance and helpful throughout the night to coordinate the flow. They also treat their musicians very well - they only play with the full 10 piece ensemble so that everyone is included and don't go through an agency, so the money goes directly to them. They were even thousands of dollars cheaper than what's available in NYC.
If you're looking for a funk, soul, jazz, classic rock band, these guys should be your top choice. Don't go through an agency - get these guys directly.
The Clark Eno Orchestra is top notch! They played our wedding on September 15th and everyone danced the night away! Even when twe blew a fuse, Clark played a drum solo for almost 10 minutes to keep the crowd going! They didn't skip a beat...literally!! No one even left the dance floor! People kept asking me about the band and they are still talking! Clark is an awesome person and was awesome to work with every step of the way! Thank you so much! I wish we could do it all over again!!
We used the Clark Eno Orchestra for our July wedding after seeing them perform at a friend's wedding - both times they were absolutely fantastic! So happy we went with them. Clark is extremely easy to work with - he is responsive, listens to your requests/opinions and really helped to structure the flow of the evening.
We were so incredibly happy with both the keyboard player (for our Ceremony) and the band for the evening. Everyone loved the music and danced the night away. They listened to all my requests & do not play list - a great time was had by all. I would use them again in a heartbeat and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their special event!
The Clark Eno Band was a huge hit at our wedding. Clark is so kind, and easy to work with, which made wedding planning a little less stressful for us. We wanted three major factors at our wedding: open bar, great music, and beautiful photos. Great music...CHECK! The dance floor was filled the entire night, and the band exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended from two people that love oldies, country, R&B, Disco, and everything in between!
Copying and pasting our thank you email to the incredible Clark of the Clark Eno Orchestra below. They are the single ingredient necessary for the most fun, joyful wedding ever!
"Clark,
It makes me teary thinking of the magic you and your astonishing band brought to our wedding. [The groom], myself, and our guests have not stopped reveling at the fact that the stars aligned to bring us the greatest live wedding music of all time. So many of my favorite moments from that beautiful day are inextricably linked to the Clark Eno Orchestra. In fact, [the groom] and I can both pinpoint the greatest moment of our lives to be the stretch of our first dance through your perfect rendition of "Let's Stay Together." THANK YOU is not enough to capture our gratitude for your enthusiastic commitment to realizing our vision, and your joyful, stupendous performances.
In gratitude,
Judy"
We were so blessed to have The Clark Eno Orchestra play at our wedding. We got to see them play at my sisters and my friends wedding. We knew this was a must for our special day.
Clark is a pleasure to work with. He makes it easy and fun to plan everything while being extremely professional.
If you want them to play a song they do not know they will learn it for you to play at your wedding.
They will play anything from Frank Sinatra to The Weekend which makes it enjoyable for everyone on the dance floor.
If you are looking to have a fun night out or to make your wedding extra memeroriable go see Clark and book him for your wedding you will have no regrets. I can sing their praise for hours but the bottom line is they are the best!!
We hired The Clark Eno Orchestra for our May 2018 wedding. Our experience was fantastic and they truly made our party one to remember. I've been hearing great feedback from guests since our wedding about the quality of the band.
We considered a few bands before choosing Clark. Some did not have the right sound and others were ludicrously expensive (looking at you Hank Lane). Clark had the right sound for us at the right price. Having a full horn section was a non negotiable for me and Clark was able to provide it within a reasonable budget.
Clarks communication was fantastic leading up the wedding. He made a custom edit of our first dance that we could rehearse to (we cut a verse) and when the time came played it back perfectly. In addition the process of choosing the music with him was enjoyable. Choosing the Do not play list is just as much fun as picking the songs you want.
On the day of we went to our rain plan the morning of and Clark was there every step of the way. Everyone was exactly where they needed to be when we needed them. Once the party began Clark kept our floor full all night. I can't thank him and the band enough for being a huge part of a great night for us.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Clark and Clark Eno’s Orchestra. I had the unique privilege of contracting with him 5 years. When my previous engagement was called off, he responded with such compassion and warmth; he even offered to apply the deposit to a future event. Fast forward 5 years, when I (finally) met the man who I was destined to marry, I reached out to Clark, who was effusive in his congratulations and agreed to travel 5 hours to MD for our wedding! He always made himself available to talk through ideas for our ceremony and reception music and offered helpful guidance while ensuring that our day was personalized and just as we imagined.
The music was INCREDIBLE! On the shuttle ride home, the driver told me that he has been working at our venue for over 40 years and it was the “best band he has ever heard”. We heard similar feedback from our family and friends who were thrilled to dance the night away. Furthermore, Clark was a saint when working with a very challenging event coordinator at our venue, despite the fact that this woman was unkind to several members in his orchestra, he was the consummate professional and handled everything with grace! He traveled 5 hours to our venue the DAY BEORE our wedding to make sure he could have everything set up and feel energized for our wedding! Make a trip to hear his group play, you’ll sign that night and be thrilled you had them at your wedding!! Thank you, again, Clark!!
If you want your wedding to be a huge success, you hire Clark Eno Orchestra! This band was by far the biggest hit at our wedding and they were by far worth every penny!! Clark was very nice and helpful , and we were able to work out most details prior to the event. We gave him our ceremony songs and our first dance songs and there were no qualms or complaints. We then built a set-list of around 60 songs based on their entire list of known songs, and then about 10-12 "DO NOT PLAY" songs. They then used this information to build their actual set-list for the night, and even though some songs we didn't pick were played they fit the mood perfectly! The band did a FANTASTIC job of playing music according to the time of the night as well. When people were eating, the music had more ballads and calmer music, and the music steadily got towards newer music and more intense music as the night went on. I seriously cannot recommend this band enough - even our catering vendor was asking for the band contact information because their staff was dancing the night away!!! This band will make your wedding night, I promise you.
The Clark Eno orchestra is the best ever! Clark is a special person, great communicator via email or the phone, and absolutely aims to please!
We have two daughters with weddings that were only thirteen months apart, but we knew for spectacular music, true professionalism, amazing and talented musicians, Clark was the only one for both! The dance floor was always packed and our guests were so impressed and complimentary of the quality and incredible sound from the Clark Eno orchestra. Our guests chanted, “One more song!”, at the end of the night! No one wanted this magic to end! We highly recommend the Clark Eno orchestra!!!!
I cannot say enough about Clark and his band. They handled every phase of the planning & execution incredibly and were very patient with our frequently changing requests along the way.
The band is absolutely OUTSTANDING - they had our entire wedding up dancing for the entire evening, and only let up when the venue turned the lights on! The range of music they play covered everything we wanted from American standards to soul music, disco and classic rock.
I would highly recommend Clark to anyone looking for an extremely talented band who know how to get people dancing! 10/10
Absolutely incredible! My wife and I could not have asked for a better band for our wedding. They play great songs, learned our wedding song, and sounded amazing. They got everyone on their feet and dancing to the point where we had to hold the speakers from falling over! Everyone has complimented us on the band and has told us it was the most fun dancing at a wedding they have had! Highly recommend CEO for any event! Thank you Clark and the rest of the gang for an incredible evening!
The band was incredible, and I would highly recommend to anybody looking to have a lively, energetic and great-sounding band at their reception.
We had 2 band members playing during our cocktail hour, and both were great at setting a comfortable environment.
We had the full band for our reception, and they played a variety of music (all at our suggestion). Every member of their band seemed to be having a great time, and it added to the environment. Highly, highly, recommended.
The Clark Eno Orchestra is absolutely amazing. They are able to play any song from any genre and kept our guests dancing the entire night. We got so many compliments about them after the wedding! In addition to being incredibly talented, Clark was so easy and professional to work with throughout the entire planning process. He responded quickly to every minor question I had and was accommodating of any change we made. We would highly recommend them!
This band is truly remarkable!!!! They had everyone on their feet all night long. We can't thank you enough for making our wedding reception fabulous!
The Clark Eno band made our reception outstanding! Clark was so personable and his band so talented! Ours guests have continued to remark at how much they loved the band. Clark provided a soloist for our ceremony who was outstanding. He also provided music for the dinner. The reception was so much fun thanks to Clark!
These guys are amazing! I have had 5 friends get married in the last two years and with the exception of one they have had a live band. Clark Eno and his musicians are head and shoulders above the rest! The music was perfect and my guests couldn't have had a better time. 5 stars for sure!
Fantastic Music!
I can't recommend the Clark Eno Orchestra more highly. Their professionalism and performance was incredible. Our guests were on the dance floor from the beginning to the very end of my party. I am a stickler for detail and Clark coordinated the evening flawlessly. Look no further, this band is the one!
The Clark Eno Orchestra truly helped make our wedding one for the ages! They were recommended by friends who had seen them perform and also on our venue's (Dolce Norwalk) preferred vendors list and now I know why! We chose to have our parents and our wedding party introduced - what a way to kick off the party! They went through each person to be sure they pronounced their names properly and each groomsman decided to add their own flare like "Pat 'the man' Seymour". I nearly fainted when I heard the music kick in, waiting outside the ballroom doors! "And now, on your feet, for the newest and happiest couple on earth, Ana Kristina and James Stolfi!!" I will forever remember that intro! Superb!
Clark and his band were full accommodating. James and I did our own choreography for our first dance since lessons were so expensive and the band readily announced that for us right before we went into it, resulting in much joyous cheering ❤
They learned Cracklin' Rosie for the mother son dance. The father daughter dance however was particularly special. We started off with Turn Around (which the band also learned for us and turned into a waltz). But right as the 2nd verse ended (Turn around and your a young wife with babes of your own..), the band switched seamlessly into In The Mood by Glenn Miller and daddo and I danced the Lindy Hop like pros! It was incredible!
Then as James and I were making our rounds to each table to say thank you for coming to everyone, I'm unsure of what song the band started playing but there was a STAMPEDE of guests rushing the dance floor! I've never seen anything like it, especially not a wedding!
The full moon was infectious, the band was swinging and the vibe was BOOMING. The Clark Eno Orchestra raised and lowered the energy beautifully the whole evening through. They killed Super Bad (by James Brown) just for me! They also took on quite the challenge of playing a song I wrote way back, 12 years ago, for James which meant the world...even invited me up to sing a few lines!
But the biggest surprise of all was that Clark and my father had worked out having my dad perform! I was completely unaware and it was a very moving and unforgettable moment. Dad got up and played guitar and sang a Willie Nelson tune "I've Loved You All Over the World". Dad played the first half solo and then the band slowly and quietly came in to join him. It was...Spectacular.
If you want your guests to get down in an unprecedented fashion, HIRE THE CLARK ENO ORCHESTRA!! You will have Zero regrets!!! ❤❤❤
AMAZING ENTERTAINMENT!! I could not have been happier. Every aspect of my party was addressed down to the smallest detail. The bands performance was high energy and my guests were on the dance floor all night long! This was the biggest day of my life and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Clark!
EXCELLENT!!! Everyone at my daughter's wedding was raving about the orchestra and the range of music-- selections were varied and paced just right. The musicians and singers were all on their game and it was a magical evening. Clark and his orchestra are real pros– they truly seem to enjoy making the music as much as we enjoyed hearing and dancing to it. We asked for a couple of special arrangements including the bride and father dance where we wanted to go from sentimental to swing and they nailed it. It will be a night to remember for many years and the Clark Eno Orchestra was a big part of it. This is no mere wedding band, but a top notch orchestra and singers that don't miss a beat. We can't recommend them to you enough.
The Clark Eno Orchestra exceeded all my expectations, despite listening to their great recordings multiple times online!! They are extremely professional, flexible, and unbelievably fantastic musicians. I decided to sing a song at the last minute (literally the day before my wedding), and they somehow managed to play the exact arrangement on the recording I sent them, despite the very short notice. I cannot recommend this band more highly. They will make your reception. Our friends and family will be talking about how good they were for many years to come!
Clark Eno Orchestra is such a talented band and they had our guests dancing the entire night! Multiple workers at my venue even mentioned how they were the best wedding band they had heard all year. Clark is very responsive and his band will even learn songs for you. They really helped shape a perfect night for us. We loved them!
Choosing the Clark Eno Orchestra was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. As other reviews mention, the music was absolutely fantastic and we had countless people telling us throughout the night that it was the best wedding band they'd heard. But what also separated Clark from other vendors we worked with was how turnkey he made the process. From day one, Clark was organized, responsive and even proactively sent one of his musicians to the church in the weeks leading up to the ceremony date to provide recommendations for ceremony music. With so many little things requiring attention leading up to our wedding date, it was such a relief to have confidence that all of the details surrounding the music were in good hands. Booking this band will go a long way to simplifying the planning process and ensuring that your guests are dancing non-stop throughout the night. Highly recommend.
The band was excellent! The music was fantastic and everyone was dancing! Dealing with them before the wedding was very easy, they were very professional, quick to respond and always pleasant to deal with.
The reason I didn't give them 5 stars was I felt the band was not on top of making announcements regarding special dances and events during the wedding that should have been highlighted. This should be second nature to a band that is this experienced. There was a timeline that the band was discussed with Clark and given prior to the wedding, and although I realize timelines are guidelines, the fact that they didn't follow it made it difficult for the photographer and videographer to know where to be for special moments and when they were occurring. There was no clear announcement of the father-daughter dance, and the videographer was in another part of the venue, had no idea it was taking place at that particular moment, and had to rush back. The band did not make a clear announcement of the cake cutting to draw attention to the event, nor did they stop playing while it was taking place; as a result, most of the guests had no idea it was happening, and most of them missed it, including me, the mother of the bride. When I requested they announce that the shuttle would be leaving, almost no one heard them over the music, and many missed the first shuttle. These types of announcements are pretty common in weddings, and I think they should have been done automatically. That said, all my guests raved about the music and had a wonderful time.
For our wedding, we didn't want a "wedding band," we wanted a real band with talent and soul. We wanted amazing singers and a strong orchestra. We wanted to work with people who are organized and trustworthy. This is what Clark Eno's Orchestra brings.
Clark guides you through the whole process from selecting songs, to offering to play a few custom songs, to announcements, etc. He was incredibly patient and flexible throughout the whole process. We must have emailed each other 50 times and he continued to be professional and patient as we worked out the details. He wanted to be sure it was perfect for us and flawless the night of our event (which it was).
Clark even went so far as to provide a microphone for our ceremony and music for our cocktail reception--in both cases, this worked out really well.
The night of our wedding they completely blew us and our guests away with their musical abilities, including an unplanned (seemingly synchronized) musical speech from my husband's groomsman.
I heard that their band members were hanging with our guests during breaks and that everyone loved their company. The dance floor was constantly filled with guests and they ended the night with a great crowd-pleaser.
I can't say enough about Clark and his band. They really delivered. We looked at several bands in NYC before we found them, thinking we needed to go to NYC for the talent, but it was great to find it right here in CT.
If you are looking to keep your guests dancing the night away, then this is the band for you! Fantastic musicians and great personality that appeals to all styles and ages.
Fantastic selection of oldies from the 1920's to current hits. Great dance music performed to perfection, very entertaining!! Would recommend for any gathering.
Incredible Band!
Great vocalists and musicians. Wonderful songs! Wayne
SIMPLY THE BEST!
Without Clark and his band, your wedding or party will not be the same. Eleven years after our wedding, our friends and family still reference it as the "best party ever". They never got off the dance floor. This year Clark reassembled every player from our wedding for my Great Gatsby birthday party. They made the party yet again! Clark is wonderful to work with --- earnest, reliable, great listener, great advisor, reads the crowd well, knows what works! We are planning another party just to be able to have the band back. You and your guests will not be disappointed. One less think to worry about on your wedding day! Kathleen of Woodbury, CT
We had the Clark Eno Orchestra play at our wedding reception a few weeks back on October 3, 2015 and all we can tell you is that they were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!
From the first time we talked to Clark last year and the excitement in his voice when helping us plan out the music for our reception, we knew that we had made the perfect choice. We explained to Clark early on that we wanted people up on the dance floor literally all night long, and the Clark Eno Orchestra provided entertainment for just that to happen!! The music they played reached all generations right away and that excitement didn't slow down once all night long!
The Clark Eno Orchestra is full of talented artists who not only sing and play instruments, but truly perform. Having them at our reception was full blown entertainment from start to finish!
Months before the wedding we also told Clark that we understand the band plays for 4 full hours and takes two 1/2 hour breaks where their DJ plays music, but we didn't want our party to end that early. He suggested we have their DJ also play for the last hour, which we did and it was perfect for us and our guests!!
Nothing beats live music and we can promise you that you will not be disappointed to have the Clark Eno Orchestra at your next event - wedding, retirement, family reunion - whatever the case, they'll cater to your vision for your day and make it a reality!!
If you're still having doubts, reach out to Clark and ask him for the schedule of when they have a gig locally and go see them for yourself! We can promise you won't ever be disappointed...they are and were FANTASTIC!!
Clark and his band were unbelievable to work with! Clark handled all of the planning for the band and he is so kind and responded to any emails or phone calls right away! The band was the most important aspect of the wedding for us and I dont think we could have anticipated how fantastic it ended up being!
If you are looking to liven up the party at your wedding then C.E.O. is the best way to ensure this. They played the music I wanted including learning songs for our first dance, parent dances, etc. They were absolutely incredible. They played at my sister's wedding and I had to have them for my wedding as well.
We chose a band because we wanted to treat our guest's to a unique experience because DJs are at so many weddings that we go to now that most people are tired of them and don't dance. We wanted to make sure that our guests would dance and that is what we did! My husband and I are not big dancers but you couldn't pull us off of the dance floor all night! Clark was great to work with and the band was truly professional and sounded fantastic!
Can't thank the Clark Eno orchestra enough. Right from the start they have been extremely professional, courteous, helpful, friendly and most importantly they make the wedding FUN! The live music was absolutely incredible and the funky tunes were their best. It created a really fun atmosphere for the party and guests are still commenting on it even now. Thank you!
