Empyreal Strings Music & Entertainment

the amazingly talented band, and the incredible violin extravaganza show, the dance floor was packed the entire night. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved our band! We highly recommend Roman and Empyreal Strings!

ing the cocktail hour, ceremony, and then later put on a show for about 3-45 minutes. My husband and I, including our families and friends who were in attendance were left speechless. The amount of talent under one roof was unexplainable. First, let’s rewind before the wedding. We called Roman with interest for his services, he was so kind and through to explain everything over the phone then sent over several sample videos of past events to show us his work. Then we scheduled an apt with him to discuss types of packages and set up a schedule for the wedding where Roman would step in and be a part of. About a week before the wedding, we again met with Roman and went over song by song, bridal party, family members, where he would play in the wedding hall-detail by detail. At the wedding, He and his band were on time, ready to go, and nothing but professional from the first few seconds of arrival. The music he played was BEAUTIFUL. The guests were all amazed from cocktail hour until the show, which was when he really blew everybody away. This was TRUE TALENT on the dancefloor. He and his band members engaged guests and the bride and groom; all while playing a beautiful set. I have no words for Empyreal Strings Band, we were expecting 100% and got 1000. I HIGHLY recommend Roman and his band for any special occasion. The art he puts on is memorable for a lifetime and worthy every penny.

the music was and the violin show was a favorite of the night. Roman helped us each step of the way and helped us with recommendations from his experience. The 12 piece band at reception, the saxophonist at cocktail hour, and the string quartet greeting guests upon arrival and at the ceremony, exceeded our already high expectations. They were very responsive and were one of the vendors that we didn't have to worry about. We highly recommend Empyreal Strings! Thank you Roman and Empyreal Strings!

imented us on the band. Without a doubt, ES is the way to go! Thank you for everything!!!

w of your wedding is perfect and that all your guests are having fun!

o keep the focus on us and made it very fun for us. I loved everything about it! They are worth every penny. The violin show was spectacular, I saw my guests’s faces, everyone was impressed, even our hard to please mothers. My wedding was yesterday and it was the best wedding I ever attended, and not just because it was my own, it really was extraordinary! Thank you Roman and Empyreal Orchestra!!

l Strings. Trust Roman and his advice for the wedding on the music selection he and his group offers. Ask for what you want, but consider his advice. Worth every penny spent! It was jaw dropping performance for their Extravaganza show and they also added an amazing touch during our ceremony! JUST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. If you want your wedding to be unique and interesting and not the boring standard HIRE THEM!!!

ician, and the acoustic performance of the string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour was immaculate. Roman is professional and experienced, and had great ideas. He made himself available to visit the venue - 2.5 hours outside of NYC to familiarize himself with it months in advance. Roman helped us craft our production schedule and tailored it to the venue, changing where the prelude would take place to split up the musicians so that 2 would be available to greet guests as they were served champagne when they came in. He is creative and eccentric, and has a strong personality - you can tell he is so passionate about his work. He will make recommendations but he will listen to what you want. We had a mix of Russian and English-speaking guests and were looking for an English-speaking MC/ Roman suggested Chris, who had a fantastic voice and presence, and played 2 saxophones - SO SO fun! He got right in there and danced with us. There was another DJ who spun the tunes in the back. Roman asked that we review the playlist, and what was played wasn't always what we picked, but it was great and the dance floor was full all night. But the real reason everyone danced was the "Extravaganza" pop music show that Roman and the string quartet puts on for the party with electric violins!!! The musicians come out dressed to the nines in leather pants and play rock, Jewish music... Led Zeppelin was a total hit!!! Both families LOVED it and couldn't get enough! It was perfect and exactly what we were looking for - a mix of live music, DJ, and entertainment that pleased the American and Russian crowds. My parents danced their hearts out like crazy. My husband's uncles couldn't get enough. We had a blast. When we saw my husband's family shortly after the wedding it was all they wanted to talk about! One of the uncles truly loves live music and he kept saying he had never seen anything like this before -- it was Broadway show quality. And indeed it was. Thanks so much Empyreal Strings!! Olya & Adam

h a great way to get everyone on the dance floor and I can say it stayed full all night. I’ve had so many compliments on Empyreal Strings. They made our wedding unforgettable and we can’t thank them enough.

estra show was fantastic - such a hit with our guests! Thank you, Roman! Thank you, Empyreal Strings!

first meeting we knew that he understood our needs (Russian Jewish wedding with Mutli-generational American side mixed in) -- He picked out the perfect singers, an amazing collection of songs, and so many additional musical talents that put our wedding over the top! In our second meeting we hammered out an amazing minute by minute schedule, which all the way through 11:30pm the night before he was available to help make changes as needed. The day of, he was there every moment coordinating his band and reacting to the crowd and their needs. The live show was simply amazing, getting the entire room clapping and then dancing along. --- Music, Food and Venue are the top three for any successful wedding - and the MUSIC was simply the best! -- All while staying in budget!

for us to discuss the plan for our wedding. He was always easy to reach and made sure that we have a set detailed plan for the wedding day so that nothing can go wrong. During the wedding, Roman made sure that we have as little stress as possible. Empyreal strings knows how to engage with the audience and get everyone on their feet! I've received many compliments from guests following the wedding on how entertaining it was, especially the Empyreal "Extravaganza" Show. We enjoyed our wedding and are very thankful to Roman and Empyreal Strings for making our celebration so special.

man was able to give us a full breakdown of when, where, and how every part of the wedding was going to go down. He was extremely easy to reach, both through e-mail and by phone, and was more than welcome to multiple meetings. He even gave some clever ideas to throw in and it really personalized our wedding. Roman and his band are true artists and performers and kept all of our guests on the dance floor the entire night. The music sounded absolutely fantastic and the band really knows how to interact with the guests. It was a blast having the singers, guitarists, saxophonists, and violinists right there on the dance floor engaging with everyone. A truly unique and fun experience! We also booked the infamous "Violin Show" and have 0 regrets. It was a one-of-a-kind experience for us and our guests that you really can't get anywhere else! It started off as just a performance that blew everyone away but then my husband and I came onto the dance floor to dance in the middle and everyone joined us, the real party got started and we were all amazed. These people are truly incredible and make your event what it really should be. It's been over a week and our friends and family are STILL raving about how great of a time they had. Thank you Roman!

everyone told us it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to! We had people of all cultures and ages at the wedding and the music selection was perfect. They played something for everyone and the dance floor was PACKED the entire night until the very end. My husband even played guitar on a song with the band and it ran so smoothly. It was the highlight of the night! Here is a clip of it: https://youtu.be/dTtVwy9Goj4

were at a concert. They were so pleasant to work with and created the perfect atmosphere. You cannot go wrong with Empyreal Strings!

t to make your wedding day top notch. These are some of the most talented musicians!

an and his band for the most important of of our lives. Not only did he deliver above and beyond what was expected of him, but he lend a helping hand for us with any questions/concerns throughout the entire planning process. Even if it wasn't in his speciality, Roman was able to sympathize and understand us to guide us in the right direction. He was unlike any other bands we interviewed. He does not have a "textbook" formula for running a wedding. He is a beyond professional business man who was able to capture both my husband and my personalities with each symphony that was played the night of our wedding. From the personalized violin solos when our parents accompanied us down the aisle, to his spectacular violin show during the reception- we felt that it was all done specifically and completely for us. Empyreal Strings is not for someone who lacks class, elegance and sophistication. If you are looking for a mediocre band, they are not for you. If you are looking to WOW your guests with the highest of standards that will leave their jaws on the floor, then you've found your entertainment. Empyreal Strings are impressive, professional, and energetic. Our guests still can't forget the feeling of love, happiness and FUN that filled the ballroom that night. It is unlike me to rant and rave about anything unless it is truly superb. Trust me when I say, you will not regret Empyreal Strings for your choice of entertainment.

then look no further than Empyreal Strings orchestra. One word to describe the leader of this amazing band, is perfectionist! From the first time we spoke over the phone, we were impressed with Roman and his professionalism. We were not the easiest clients to work with. That where is Roman's tremendous knowledge of classical, jazz, pop, blues, dance, big band and international music came to the rescue. He was guiding us every step through the wedding day, planning and ensuring we made appropriate decision on the music selection and timing. We did not want to have the same "here comes the bride" ceremony music. Roman proposed to have music from Italian Andrea Bochelli "Time To Say Goodbye" but the lyrics in Hebrew "Boi Kala". The result was absolutely most beautiful song!!! You don't have to be in opera to get emotional with this song! It was large and diverse, ethnically and age wise group of guests. However, during the reception guests were dancing none stop. Roman has an incredible ability to sense the mood of the crowd and always managed to play an appropriate selection of the music, one song at the time. Also, being a perfectionist, the sound and the lights were perfect, never overwhelming and just right. The entertainment part of the wedding, was string quartet pop show, performed by virtuoso professional violin players. For those 20 minutes of explosive performance, guests completely forgot about of the tasty entrees and rushed to the dance floor at the culmination of the show "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin and performed by this quartet. It's was out of this world! Once again, it was the best decision we ever made. Roman and his band absolutely, without a doubt, are worth it!!!

is something that you have to see to understand- wow! I've never seen a band that performs so effortless and flawless. Our guests could not stop raving about how incredible they were! We worked closely with Roman and he made sure that everything went smoothly and that the party kept going. It is something my husband and I, and our guests, will never forget. Thank you, Roman, and to everyone who performed!

azz set exactly like we asked them to, learning new songs and performing them in a unique way. The Electric-Pop Strings show blew our guests away. I cannot recommend them enough!

Our guests were blown away by the QUALITY of the music/sound. The dance floor did not lie that night because they all danced and didn't have much time to focus on the food. Prior to the amazing night we had, our family contacted Roman after we heard his band play at a family friends wedding. He was very professional and caring. We met with him a few times and spoke some more over the phone as a team to get on par about how he operates and insight on how to have a successful and fun night. His main concern was that we would be overly satisfied with our special night and his band would handle the rest. What many entertainment companies forget is that, they are working as a unit with the wedding party and not just doing what they are paid to do and have the Bride/Groom upset. Empyreal Strings is the highest bar, you are not just having music at a wedding or special occasion.. You are trying to make memories, moments that will leave a lasting impression on your guests and have them talking about your event with their friends and colleagues. Most important you are sealing a bond with you and your S.O. for eternity and having the right entertainers to play the right music and run the show for you is not just spine tingling-- their frequency touches the soul of yours and the guests. One honest advice I can give as a stranger to whoever is reading this comment before reaching out to Roman Teplinksy is: Be up front with him and he will to you. Work with him as he will to you.. Trust his talent and experience to do the rest.. I guarantee you will hear about you wedding party for along time to come.. I have been to many weddings and heard lots of entertainment bands and DJ's.. We easily chose EMPYREAL STRINGS!!!!!

had. The sound was warm, the music was played perfectly, and the impact was amazing. Several guests came up to us afterwards to say so. If you are looking for the best caliber of musicians, Empyreal is the way to go. We did quite a bit of research on other providers beforehand, and while all serviceable, none of them came close to Empyreal. Empyreal hires true professional musicians, that are some of the best out there. They sound as if you are listening to a professional chamber orchestra at Lincoln Center or Carnegie Hall. We had a traditional and classical ceremony / music, so it was really important that the music was played perfectly. For modern remixes, it's more easily overlooked. Empyreal delivered and then some. Also, Roman (the founder) is an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, a perfectionist and incredibly helpful. We could not recommend them more. They were the easiest part of our wedding planning process!!

was by far the best. They have the best musicians technically, and are true professionals. Other vendors / providers hire a lot of students and / or are focused on modern remixes of music. We wanted a truly traditional ceremony and wanted some classical pieces performed well - Empryreal delivered and then some. The musicians were technically perfect, and the sound filled the church as if there were at least 10-12 musicians. It created a magical and warm environment and many guests came up to us after to inquire about Empyreal. Morever, Roman (the founder) is a true professional and wonderful / easy to deal with. He guided us expertly through the music selection and understood immediately what we were trying to achieve. Fantastic. could not recommend them more.

s came highly recommended to me. I have attended several events as a guest and have consistently been blown away by their exceptional talent. When it was time for me to get married, the decision to pick them was easy. You get more than just a band when you hire Roman. You get an individual who deeply cares that your event goes exactly as you envision. He will meet with you numerous times to go through ideas, pick music and set lists and address each and every concern you may have. Roman is highly responsive by phone and email. If there is something on your mind, Roman will share advice from countless years of experience and will put you at ease. In addition to being an incredible musician, Roman is highly detailed oriented. He will sit down and meticulously plan the schedule for your wedding to ensure it flows perfectly. No questions are left unanswered and you approach your wedding day, feeling at ease that there is a professional in your corner. On the day of your wedding, Roman arrives way ahead of schedule to ensure that everything is set up and organized. Now for the most important part, their musical talent is out of this world amazing. They are versatile, unique and unforgettable. Their musical repertoire spans the world and history. It can be tailored to such a diverse audience and well balanced so everyone has a good time! Whether you are looking for classical music, classic rock, show-tunes etc, Roman will execute it with total perfection. Your guests will be blown away and your event will be truly unforgettable. Everyone will dance, all night and they will be in awe of the talent, the energy and the music. They also do the most incredible violin show - your guests will never have seen anything like it. I cannot thank Roman and Empyreal Strings enough for everything they did to make my wedding so special and such a success. Thank you thank you!!!

in show. It was so classy and perfect for our wedding. All our guest from all backgrounds ask us where we found such a great band and host.

put together kept every single person dancing the entire night!! Guests told us they've never been to a wedding (Russian, American or otherwise) where the dance floor stayed so full. Roman and his team are INCREDIBLE at not only their musical crafts, but at ensuring that your event will be FLAWLESS from start to finish.

delivering the program exactly as you would want it, to make it your day, very original and not something generic. Their repertoire ranges from anything and everything to cater to a variety of audiences, including the latest top 40 (in Russian and English)! to keep our guests dancing non-stop. Most importantly, this is a LIVE and very talented band, not a DJ. Every band member from guitars, precussion, sax, singers are professionals, on time, well-dressed and the singers (most of them) are so good that they have their own recording contracts. Our guests could not stop praising the band. In addition, Gary Gazarkh the band leader was so curteous, polished, professional, effective in his introductions and the way he conducted our evening. I will save the best for last as the Empyreal Strings Electric Violin Show literally stole everyone's breath away as Roman and his violinists dazzled the audiences in "BOND" style violin show. Everyone was raving about how classy, entertaining the entire show was. The wedding evening just flew by because Roman and his team made the time pass instantenously....before we knew it was almost midnight! I would love to work with Roman and his team on another occassion and would not hesistate to recommend them to another bride and groom looking for entertainment for their wedding as its the most crucial part aside from location. There is the rest of bands and DJ but Empyreal Strings is simply a class above!!!

However finding those vendors is time consuming and anxiety provoking. Thank goodness we found Roman and Empyreal Strings who exceeded all our expectations and beyond!! Roman helped us plan the most amazing evening filled with great music and entertainment starting from the greeting, to cocktail hour, to the ceremony, to the reception! At the greeting and cocktail hour, as soon as the guests entered, they walked into classical music being played on live instruments by the group, creating the ambiance for the entire evening! Our guests kept coming up to our parents (as my husband and I were in hiding) and complimenting at the elegant music that was playing! I think they thought that was it...until they got to the ceremony. At the ceremony, all the songs played at the processional were played live as well, which brought chills down all of our spines! It truly came out breathtakingly beautiful! Then the reception started... the MC brought out the bride and groom as the new Mr. and Mrs., and then the party started and didn't stop until the end of the night! Our dance floor was truly packed the entire night!!! Guests kept saying how as soon as they wanted to take a break and breathe, another great song came on and they remained on the dance floor! The songs were mixed to cater to all of our guests young and old, Russian/Ukrainian/American/international! Just as an FYI, we had a great mixed crowd, and all were partying together! That was the most important part! All types of songs and all great ones! The highlight of the night, which I couldn't wait for because I knew it would be fantastic, was the Electric String Pop Show!!!! All our guests, including the bride and groom (us), were watching with awe, clapping and tapping their feet along! The energy that filled the hall was electrifying! People couldn't wait for more!!! And as everything spectacular, the evening had to come to an end. Then the phone calls began... everyone kept complimenting how much fun our wedding was, particularly the entertainment!!! So...If you're looking to hire music vendors for your wedding, look no more! Roman and Empyreal Strings will exceed all expectations!!! They're all true professionals, know what you want before you even think of it, cater to all styles of weddings and groups of guests! Roman's organizational skills and professionalism will keep you relaxed knowing exactly what's going to happen when! Just believe us, you really can't go wrong with Empyreal Strings! Thank you a million times to Roman for absolutely everything! And thank you to the singers, DJ, and MC that made our special night so spectacular and unforgettable!!! You all are unbelievably talented and we wish you the utmost success in everything you do!

we met with Roman he was absolutely wonderful. He was so professional and kind and his number 1 goal was to give us the wedding of our dreams. He met with us for hours and came up with a detailed list of songs that included Russian, American, and Top 40 Music. He played every song during the wedding including ones that we asked him to add. Every member was so good and the repertoire of songs the band can plan is so large. Roman made sure the entire night ran perfect and on schedule. Chantelle was our MC and was amazing. The dance floor was packed the entire night with Russian/American guests young and old and we have not stopped receiving calls from both of our families telling us that it was the best band that they ever seen. The violin pop show was incredible that Roman does. All of our guests were standing up and clapping the entire time and taking videos on their phones. They were so entertained and didn’t want it to end. Thank you Empyreal Strings for everything. You were truly spectacular. We can only hope to be at an event with you again.

ey simply keep the party going all night but Roman is simply a perfectionist and such a wonderful person to work with, he goes into great detail about the times and music for your wedding plus above and beyond of what was asked. As a surprise for my wife I wrote a special song "The Sky Was A Shade of Rose " and had Jennifer from X-Factor perform it at the wedding all thanks to Empyreal Strings I also want to thank the BEST Wedding Host/Singer Gazarkh no amount of compliments can do him justice he is better then anyone that's out there ! If anyone is having a wedding you simply can not go wrong with Empyreal Strings Music and Entertainment they are sooo professional and accommodating they will bend over backwards for anything you ask and will organize your entire wedding on schedule. As a bonus the famous Empyreal Strings Violin Show was the highlight of the wedding, all of our guests are still talking about it. Roman thank you once more!!!

of energy and commitment to make our wedding one to remember! We LOVED the music at our wedding, from the beautiful strinq quartet for the ceremony, to the covers of songs we selected at the reception, to the amazing string show! We highly recommend Empyreal Strings to anyone looking for a fun wedding with memorable music! ~Tatyana and Matt

s amazing – from cocktail hour with the saxophone through the reception the party never stopped! We appreciated that they are able to play a mix of many genres of music because of their diverse membership. They learned several new songs for our wedding - classic Ukranian songs (I am Ukranian) and some other new pop songs that they hadn’t played yet. The band will match the energy of the party – singers joined us on the dance floor for multiple songs (“Shout” and “I Will Survive” were some highlights), and they can tone it down for the ballads.  A family member performed a song on guitar that he wrote for our wedding, and the band caught on and backed him up with percussion and bass, it was fantastic! All of our guests were blown away by the band and how well they played, and for us it made the night so memorable and perfect. Thank you, Empyreal Strings!

e found the people we wanted to perform at our wedding! Roma was professional, courteous, and patient with us with our song reception song selections and ceremony music. He was knowledgeable in wedding music and really took the time out to choose what we wanted our wedding to be like. We had a few special songs that we threw in at the last week and Roma had his entire band memorize and play them beautifully! On the night of our wedding, Empyreal Strings was fantastic. They kept the ENTIRE guest party of ~200 people dancing the entire time. I don't know how he did it, but old, young, russian, and american guests were all dancing together to every song and it was amazing to see how great a time everybody was having. His band members danced and sang with the guests, getting onto the dance floor and keeping the party going. They also performed a violin dinner show, which was unique and very well put together. Music and entertainment is just so important when it comes to putting together a wedding, and I am very glad that we went with Empyreal Strings for ours.

rue professional and really knows his stuff. He made a lot of great suggestions and recommendations on music, timing etc. based on all of his experience. Prior to the wedding, he sent over a detailed schedule for the reception, and Igor, the MC, kept everything moving smoothly and on schedule the day of the wedding. The wedding was 1/2 Russian and 1/2 American, but the band did a great job accommodating all the different guests (and both myself and my mom's request) and the dance floor was always packed. Not only was the music selection excellent, the musicians are truly talented, and the band has a wide repertoire of music --everything from traditional to Top 40 to Russian to Rock. They are experts at reading the crowd and will make sure everyone is dancing and having a great time. The violin pop show was the highlight of the reception and we had SO many guests (both American and Russian, young and old) tell us that it was their favorite part and really made the wedding! The string quartet music during the welcome, ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful. I had many guests say how nice the mood was in the venue when they first walked into live string music. I cannot say enough good things about Roman & Empyreal String and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone as they made our wedding amazing!

program that catered to both the younger and the older crowds and he was spot on because at any given time the seats were empty and the dance floor was full. The band was also very flexible, learning a last minute song that we requested be performed at the wedding. Having such a professional live instrumental band with amazing vocals really does make a huge difference, our guests were AMAZED and entertained. Empyreal made the party, and I would recommend them to anyone.

e night and even after the last song no one wanted to leave the dance floor. Roman is professional and easy to work with, and helped my husband and I make our schedule and song list. Chantelle, our lead singer, is nothing short of spectacular. We had the Empyreal Strings Violin Pop Show during dinner, which at first we were unsure about, but Roman had told us it would be the highlight of the night for our guests, and he was 100% right! Everyone was surprised and completely entertained by the show, and it made our wedding different and unique - we absolutely loved it! Empyreal Strings was perfect for my husband and I because they can play different genres of music - American, Russian and International, which accommodated all of our guests and had everyone dancing all night. This is a very talented group of entertainers and I highly recommend them to all couples looking for a wedding band! THANK YOU EMPYREAL STRINGS! Love, Rita & Jeff :)

alented and very understanding to what the customer wants. My husband and I are very picky when it comes to music and understandably, a band could make or break the wedding. For as picky as we were when interviewing other bands, our heart was set on Roma after our first meeting. He worked closely with us through the entire process: customized (on a printed sheet) our ceremony music all the way to every song for our reception. We also chose to have the violin show, which in humble opinion, is an absolute must! The guests will be floored. Every person walked away from my wedding telling me that the felt they were at an Italian opera. I'm not much into writing reviews, but I had to go out of my way to experience my gratitude for Roma really making my wedding special and unforgettable!

tire night. I can honestly say that he was the high light of my wedding because he's very entertaining, fun and professional! My guests absolutely loved his performance and were asking me about him after the wedding. I would definitely hire him again for a special occasion in the future and would highly recommend others to do the same because you WON'T be disappointed! Thank you again Roman from my family and my husbands family, I couldn't ask for a better wedding!!!!👍👍👍👍😃😃

ded an unbelievable service: live music for the cocktail hour, violin show (incredible!), fabulous MC and singers - both in English and Russian. I can go on and on. The crowd at the wedding - as usual - was of different ages and backgrounds, but everyone stayed and danced till the very last moment and did not want to stop. The band has a very good energy and everyone in the room felt it. This is THE band for a truly unforgettable wedding!

The musicians and vocalist are the best in there field and the violin show is jaw dropping. Roma is a real professional that is detail oriented. He knows his work and made sure we were completely satisfied. I would recommend him and his band for any event and any audience. Thank you so much for making our wedding everything we dreamed and more.

process. The group of band members was extremely diverse and versatile. We had all live songs in English, Russian, Spanish, Italian, etc, you name it and they could sing it! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone was very entertained. My husband even got to serenade me with a beautiful song with the help of the band. Most of all, the guests were completely blown away by Roman’s violin show. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was also excellent. I highly recommend Roman and Empyreal Strings for your special events!

(even though I wasn't even engaged yet!). My husband and I come from a Russian background, but we wanted a talented band that didn't play only cheesy Russian music. In fact, Roman was the first vendor I called before we had even picked a date and venue - because music was one of the most important factors for us when planning our wedding. Empyreal Strings does an amazing job of blending Russian/Jewish music with modern and classic American music! In addition, the quality of musicians and singers was unbelievable! Thank you Roman and Empyreal Strings for making our wedding a blast!

tailor the show to our needs. We would never go with another band for a wedding. All musicians and singers in the group were very professional. Roman the lead person of the group sat down with us and went over timeline of wedding and how things should flow throughout the course of the night. Highly recommended group. :)

ed to impress. He is very organized, and easy to work with. He was very willing to adjust his program for what we wanted. The violin show was phenomenal and the guests raved about it. He kept the guests entertained and people were dancing for hours. All in all, we are extremely happy with him, and if we had to do it over again, we would certainly hire him again. Mike

treme attention to detail and makes sure everything is planned out ahead of time. Not only was Roman able to accommodate everything we asked for but also he went above and beyond to make our night an unforgettable one. The music was absolutely amazing and he was able to combine both of our cultures (Russian and Spanish), which is definitely not an easy task to do. All of the singers, the host, Roman and musicians were phenomenal. The violin pop show IS A MUST SEE! The musicians including Roman are extremely talented and it was definitely something we have never seen before. They were absolutely amazing and if we had to do it all over again we would. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT and EMPYREAL STRINGS!! All of our guests cannot stop talking about how amazing the music was and how much they loved the violin show. Many of them kept coming up to me and asking who is this guy that is running the show. Everyone was so impressed and the dance floor was full the entire night, which was incredible. THANK YOU ROMAN AND EMPYREAL STRINGS you guys are an extremely talented group of people and it was a great pleasure working with each and every one of you!

autiful, and the reception music kept our guests on the dance floor non-stop. Everyone keeps talking about how much they danced. Everything went just like we imagined. Thank you Roman and Empyreal Strings!

ainment this band provided was priceless. Each singer is incredibly talented and entertaining. My guests were amazed at the singers and band players coming onto the dance floor and putting on personal shows for the guests. I'm also very happy with Roman's organization skills. As a tedious bride he made me feel very calm because he was as organized as I was and was constantly reaching out to me with updates and vice versa. When the day came there wasn't a job too small for him. He was on top of everything making sure we had the best wedding. There's no reason to take a chance on anyone else when you have such a great vender like Empyreal strings.

for the ceremony and reception as we wanted songs that would appeal to the multicultural audience. Hiring Empyreal Strings was the best decision we made! Would definitely recommend hiring this band! The MC Igor was great!

grew up going to Russian restaurants on family occasions and love Russian music because it reminds me of my family. My favorite singer is Jason Mraz and I love pop, country and anything catchy on the radio. My husband loves all American music- the classics like Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Avicii, techno and pop. The goal of our wedding was for our friends and family to be on the dance floor the ENTIRE NIGHT! We wanted an extremely fun party atmosphere and our main concern was for our friends, most of which are american, to have an amazing time. I have to admit that we were both worried going with a "russian band" but Roman and his band wholeheartedly delivered and EVERYONE had the MOST AMAZING TIME at our wedding! Our "american" friends have told us that it was the best wedding they have been to and that "the dance floor never lies!" When the party was over, everyone was still on the dance floor because they didn't want the night to end. We played a great variety of russian music, american classics and pop. The russians danced to american music, the americans danced to russian music.. everyone danced to everything and loved it! Roman even learned two songs for us that he never performed before- Wake Me Up by Avicii because it is my husband's favorite song and Hall of Fame by the Script that is very meaningful for my younger brother. We had a very emotional moment on the dance floor dancing to my brother's favorite song and you could literally feel the love and warmth in the room that Roman and his band helped so wonderfully to create. Our wedding was everything it should have been- warm, loving, insanely fun and a non-stop party all night! Roman graciously met with us on 2 occasions and we compiled a list of songs we wanted played. Be specific with exactly what you want and he will deliver. He really knows how to make EVERYONE happy and accommodate all the different wants and needs of everyone in the wedding. He is extremely organized and made sure our party ran smoothly. The wedding ceremony was beautiful and elegant as the string quartet was absolutely amazing and set the perfect tone. My husband and I definitely recommend using Empyreal Strings!!!!! You will have the greatest night of your lives! Remember- the dance floor never lies! Sharon & Josh

by watching the introductory video presentation. Once we signed with Empyreal Strings, Roma was extremely professional and easy to work with. His prompt responses to my constant telephone concerns and requests was much appreciated. His deep passion for music and his impressively broad artist, song and instrument knowledge made me certain that we were getting involved with someone good. Before Empyreal Strings, no one was able to musically and linguistically accommodate me and my husband’s multicultural (Russian, American and Portuguese) family. Without a problem, Roma provided all three authentic singers the day of the wedding. When it came to finalizing the details of the night, both my husband and I were a bit indecisive and unsure as to how we wanted everything to play out. With great relief to me, Roma took charge and helped to plan out our entire night in less than 20 minutes. The day of the wedding, I found the bands set up and lighting to be impressive, and the singers voices captivating. The added bonus that makes Empyreal Strings stand out even more from the other bands, is their famous violin show. If you are contemplating on whether or not do to have this at your wedding, DONT! YOU MUST GET HAVE IT! IT IS COMPLETELY WORTH IT! It’s been close to a month and people are still talking about how fantastic the performance was. I had goose bumps running up and down my arms during the entire 30 minute act. At 25 years old, I never thought I would ever enjoy classical music to that level. Needless to say, I was blown away. People of all ages thoroughly enjoyed the show as well. Overall, I am extremely happy with Empyreal Strings and of course, Roma. I HIGHLY recommend this band for other brides to be.

g. No one wanted the night to end and it would not have been the same without Roma and his band. You will never find anyone like them!

re many things that people discussed after the wedding, the venue, the food, everything was good but everyone was talking about the music and the violin show in particular the most. It was absolutely perfect. We went to see Roman and he planned with us the events at the wedding and created a timeline, and then he and his team coordinated all events at the wedding, we were a bit scared about different times and how everything was gonna play out but he knew exactly how and where and what needed to be done and at what times. If your planning on having a wedding in the near future, Roman and Empyreal Strings is the way to go!!! Anatoliy and Yuliya.

actual wedding to get them to play the music I wanted, despite an agreed-upon playlist beforehand. Throughout the night I had to ask them to change the music several times because no one was dancing. As a professional musical act, they should have been able to read the vibes in the room and change the music accordingly. They do an electric violin pop show, which is quite lovely. The owner is one of the 4 players in the show. They had an allotted time of 10 minutes during dinner for this show, as we had agreed on in the contract. Once again, the owner forgot that this day wasn't all about him and continued to play for almost 25 minutes. While a 10 minute show is lovely, 25 minutes was unacceptably long. It got to the point where the guests were giving us dirty looks and beginning to walk out. I signaled several times for them to stop the show, and in the end walked out myself because I was so irritated. I will stand by the fact that they are wonderful musicians. Their female singer, Chantal, is absolutely spectacular, there is no doubt about that. But unless you want to deal with and fight with the stubborn owner, I highly recommend against them. I was so set on having a live band, and in retrospect, it was totally and completely not worth it. Having a DJ and maybe hiring a string quartet for the ceremony would have cost me half the price and I would have had half the trouble. Included in my package: String Quartet for Ceremony/Cocktail hour Electric violin pop show during dinner 2 live singers + backup musicians DJ

yreal Strings really knew how to create a phenomenal experience at our wedding. The vast amount of instruments and talent playing those instruments created an amazing atmosphere during the formal moments, and a highly fun and exciting experience during the reception. The Empyreal Strings Violin Pop Show was the topping on our cake from the band; a spectacular performance. We heard all positive reviews before hiring Empyreal Strings, and know very well that we would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing band for their wedding!

man planned with us the events at the wedding and created a timeline, and then he and his team coordinated all events at the wedding, so the entire event went very smooth. Would I recommend him? Definitely YES. Alex.

bride herself as everyone is there to party and drink. Hence the entertainment is by far THE MOST IMPORTANT aspect of the night. As such, my husband and I were extremely particular about the band that we were to choose. After meeting with several bands we then met with Roman from Empyreal Strings. He was extremely professional: he spent time showing us video montages from previous weddings and I was immediately sold. Empyreal Strings has a fantastic balance between modern hip music and the traditional wedding songs we love to hear. I am Russian and that adds to the fun of all the amazing Russian music they played with Yuliya and IGOR (my favorite) singing their hearts out. BUT BY FAR my favorite is Chantelle, She has the voice of an angel and literally makes me break out in goosebumps from how PHENOMENAL her voice sounds. The evening began with class as the string quartet greeted our guests as they walked into the hall. The musical festivities continued into the cocktail room and then onward into the ceremony room. It was absolutely breathtaking to me and truly made me feel as though I was in a romance film as I entered the ceremony room to the beat of italian classical music. The evening continued song after song without people sitting down for one second. AND til this day I still hear people say how fantastic the band was. Lastly, there was the violin show that literally knocked the socks off people. We wouldn't for a second think twice about going with Empyreal Strings, and when we celebrate any occasion they will be the first we call. Hopefully they stay around until our children get married (when we have them lol) and then our children can use Empyreal Strings as well. !!!!! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR THE MOST AMAZING DAY OF OUR LIVES!!!

of the audience and makes sure that everyone is having a great time. All of our guests were dancing the entire night. The string quartet during the ceremony was great too! Our guests were very much impressed with the Violin Pop Show and could not stop talking about how much they loved it!

ony musicians.

re having a great time. We had a diverse group of guests, both age wise and culture wise, but everyone complemented us on the choice of band.

performance. People were dancing all night long and did not get of the dance floor. We even had to extend our wedding by an hour because people did not want to get off the dance floor - at 2am!! People are still calling and telling us how great the band was. The string show that was performed during the main course was out of this world. Everyone’s eyes and ears were glued on the show and people of all age said that they have never seen anything that amazing in their life at a wedding. Roman himself was really amazing. He worked seamlessly with us and listened to the type of music we wanted to be played and had excellent recommendations for us of what songs to play. He is a true professional!!! The night flowed seamlessly, from a quartet performing at happy hour and ceremony and then to the entire band at the main event, Roman had everything in control at all times. He mixed all genera’s of music so that everyone at the party would have an amazing and fun time, and they did!!!! All the songs sounded like they came from the mouths of the actual singers. We were really, really impressed!!!!!!! Empyreal strings really did an awesome job. I can 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a great, and I mean great, and fun band. If you are thinking of hiring a band, do not even hesitate and hire Empyreal String. You will not be disappointed, guaranteed!!!

rican and European Music. The MC, Gary, was wonderful at transitioning between Russian and English so all of our guests were able to understand everything going on and enjoy the day. To top it all off, the violin show during dinner was fantastic. My guests are still commenting on how they had never seen anything like it before. We could not have asked for a better band! Thanks Roman!!!

mmodate our requests. The singers and band kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. They played a variety of different genres and the singer’s voices were always on point. We also got the string show which was over-the-top amazing. Thanks to our band and vendors our guest declared that we had the best wedding they have ever been to. (Including their own weddings :) ) I would highly recommend them to everyone (and already have!!!)

on the dance floor and got the guests involved. Everyone has been raving about the music at our wedding and some of the guests already booked Empyreal Strings as a result! I would recommend this band to anyone, and although you will spend some extra money the QUALITY is guaranteed.

the dance floor for a break. The music and singers sounded amazing and played all the latest hits as well as the classics. I would 100% recommend Empyreal Strings to anyone looking for an amazing and extraordinary band. My guests are still talking about this entertainment!!!

ssional and do a great job making each song feel authentic! I would recommend them to anyone!

have received countless compliments on the music and the atmosphere that the band created. Roman really knows how to feel out the crowd and after meeting with him we really trusted him with conducting the wedding up to his discretion and he absolutely exceeded our expectations.The band has a wide variety of music to offer, from classical to rock and hip hop. We would highly recommend Roman and the other members of the Empyreal Strings for any event.

ctic crowd whether they were young, old, Russian or American… everyone had a blast. All of our guests said it was the best party they have been too, and couldn’t get over how incredible your band was. We loved that you played a great variety of music and really felt the crowd and vibe. Igor did an excellent job hosting both in English and Russian, and kept the night flowing smoothly. Your violin show was magnificent, everyone was so impressed by the level of talent your musicians possess. Even the dj you recommended was great!! We loved working with you and are grateful that you embraced all of our crazy requests. You shaped our wedding into an elegant yet fun event Thank you soo much! You have our biggest recommendations!! Hope we see you soon!! Love , Anna and Daniel Smith

ts get to real good stuff. The ENTIRE band was EXCEPTIONAL. They played every song that we requested and then some! We splurged a little and got the band to bring "Walt" who makes you feel like Frank Sinatra rose from his grave and sang at our wedding. Seriously. Roman was extremely professional the entire planning process, and gave us excellent suggestions on how to make our reception successful. After the wedding, just about every one of our guests approached us and said this was the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. Made us feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. To sum it all up, we couldn't have been more pleased with our band selection. They made our wedding unforgettable!

Empyreal Strings to any bride or someone looking for a great band for their next event.

s absolutely loved). They were on time and did a fantastic job!!

onderful live performances that entire night! Roman was very flexible with our song options, and the band had an extrensive repertoire. Overall the night was a huge sucess, thank you again!

lanning our wedding and focused in on every detail to ensure our special day was a success. But, without having hired this band, it would have not been the ...same. They are a "world class" group of musicians starting with Chantelle who has voice of a superstar, Raj who can sing just like Andrea Bocelli among many other int'l singing icons, Steve who sings and also looks just like Bon Jovi, Scott who is excellent on hip hop/R&B tunes and Walt who if you close your eyes, you would bet your life it was Frank Sinatra singing at your wedding. And let's not forget about the MC, Igor, who really brought the ENERGY to the room with how he engaged the audience along with the band. Also, Roman's "violins popshow" during dinner was so unique and one of the most memorable moments of our wedding. It is something our guests never stop talking about. We also had violins play at the church and our guests were so amazed by the high quality of music played. So yes, we were very proud of ourselves to say the least in hiring this extraordinary and gifted band and will never forget the amazing time we had with them on stage. You will NOT regret booking them so I would highly recommend you scheduling your wedding day when they are available. One other piece of advice is to wok closely with Roman in explaining what you want to see at your wedding as he is very responsive and flexible. He is a true professional and will not stop working until he knows exactly what it is you want (i.e. playlist, itinerary, special requests, annoucements, etc.) They are simply worth every penny spent!!! Best of luck in your wedding planning as I know it can be demanding, but I hope my experience has made at least this decision an easy one for you to make.

ely responsive and willing to do what was asked of him. It was extremely important for us to have both Russian and American music at the event, the band absolutely nailed it. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band, everyone was dancing the whole night, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Both our American and Russian guests had an amazing time, he truly can cater to any party needs. During the reception we also had the violin show and all i can say is wowwwwwwww. Roman and his band are extremely talented. Everything from the cocktail hour to our ceremony to our reception was live. They did not stop playing all night. I cannot recommend this band enough they truly made our wedding spectacular and they get my highest rating. I would recommend this band with my highest recommendation, they are exceptional!!!! We were extremely happy!!!!!
