Empyreal Strings Music & Entertainment

From start to finish, Roman and Empyreal Strings were professional, organized, responsive, and incredibly talented. Roman made the planning process so easy, helping us organize every detail. Their performance on our wedding day was beautiful, energetic, and kept everyone on the dance floor. The extravaganza show was amazing and an experience that all our guests still talk about!

Roman and the Emyreal Strings did a wonderful job for our wedding January 2024. Everyone was amazed by the incredible performance from the cocktail hour to the ceremony to the reception. Many people asked us after the wedding for the band's information and raved about the performance. Roman was very helpful, professional, and attentive to what we wanted. We would definitely recommend Empyreal Strings, specifically the full band and "Extravaganza Show"!

Having a great band is a quintessential part of a memorable wedding. I can wholeheartedly say that Roman and the rest of his crew went above and beyond. Roman was incredibly diligent and highly attentive to every detail. He put a lot of care and effort into crafting a personalized set and schedule, and that really shined through at our wedding. Beyond that, the talent of this band is on another level. All of the musicians and singers are exceptional. One of the unique services Empyreal Strings offers is their extravaganza show, which is a high energy performance that wowed all of my guests. It riled up the whole crowd and was one of the highlights of the wedding. I cannot thank Empyreal enough for their exceptional work, dedication, and professionalism and I look forward to working with them again!

Empyreal is a professional and talented group who put on an exceptional performance at my wedding. Look no further. You have found your band. They are led by an experienced band manager/performer who is organized, responsive, and offered a customized solution for my wedding from the string trio at the ceremony, to a saxophone with electronic accompaniment for cocktail hour, to the introductions, first dance, parent’s dance, and open dance at the reception. The transitions were seamless, the band played throughout unless asked to rest for any special reason (e.g. speeches). And while I encourage anyone to do their research, I thoroughly vetted 13 bands - including videos, setlists, and in-person viewing when available - and found the clear winner after conducting a comprehensive comparison. I am blessed with having grown up playing the cello competitively in New England, with my ear and rhythm helping to source this unique, versatile and talented group of performers that the band manager assembled. Our discerning guests have been raving about this band for weeks since the wedding. They also came up to me during the wedding to say what a great band we had. Among the discerning guests were professional musicians, creative directors, and people who spend their time dancing to music at parties and enjoying good bands (when they can get them!). The band was very good to work with. They played our must play songs and also the songs that I selected from their setlists to help them with a theme which they kept in balance while reading the crowd and adjusting beautifully. This band helped to make my wedding a spectacular, fun, and memorable experience. We spent about two years planning this wedding so you can imagine the other details that folks appreciated, but their emphasis was always on the band and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Roman’s band was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning as well as one of many highlights of our reception. The harpist playing during the guest entrance was the perfect touch of class and elegance. Roman was extremely helpful in helping us decide on music for our bridal party to walk down the aisle to…song selections that matched our wedding vision. The “Extravaganza” Show was a show-stopper. Not only did the show demonstrate the the exceptional talent of Roman and his team, but it got everyone out of their chairs and on the dance floor. We have only the highest praise for Roman and his performers. Roman was extremely responsive and accommodating. He made sure that he was providing everything we requested. We (and our guests) look forward to having Empryeal Strings at our future events!

Spectacular! Breath-taking! Memorable! We hired Empyreal Strings for our wedding in San Francisco and couldn’t be happier with them! Roman and his string quarter played during our cocktail hour, ceremony, and at an Extravaganza Show during the reception. For starters, working with Roman and his team is emblematic of true professionals. Coordinating logistics with them was straightforward and they were very responsive and accommodating to all my questions and concerns. When we had an image in mind, their helped make that vision a reality, and when we needed guidance (such as picking processional music), they were there with recommendations, suggestions, and advice. For cocktail hour, they created a classy environment that elevated the whole experience. During the ceremony, they created the meaningful and emotional vibe we were hoping for. As for the Extravaganza Show – WOW! We were speechless and our guests were in awe – everyone has commented on how spectacular the Extravaganza Show with electric instruments was! The music selections were so varied and catered to all the audiences - movie scores, Top 40, Jewish/ Russian music. You name it, they can do it! Not only is the show captivating, but it is also interactive. We loved dancing around and with them as they created a fantastic party! Everyone was up and out of their seats, dancing and celebrating. If you are looking for something irreplicable that will have your guests buzzing, book Empyreal Strings! You will not be disappointed. They were a highlight of day and shaped memories that we will carry with us forever!

Fantastic band and great to work with! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome band to play great music all night!

Gifted performer with a great taste in music.

Roman and the rest of the virtuoso artists of Empyreal Strings made our wedding absolutely spectacular. We wanted Empyreal Strings to do music for our wedding ever since my now husband and I went to a wedding of a friend where they performed...we were FLOORED at the live band and the Extravaganza show performance. Everyone at that wedding was on the dance floor the entire time, and the same rang true for our own wedding. Just to give you some context, the biggest selling point for us to hire Empyreal strings was how my husband- a shy, non dancer, was dancing the night away at our friend’s wedding. Usually I always would have to be dragging him to the dance floor- but with Empyreal Strings, HE was the one having ME dance for an extra song! The live music made everyone feel alive and there was just this electric, fun energy in the air. My husband (former fiancé) and I knew….we just HAD to hire them for our own wedding. From our first call, Roman, the owner of Empyreal Strings, was very kind, thorough, and professional. He has an incredible attention to detail. Weeks before the wedding day, he even traveled to our venue to do a walk through of the grounds to make sure everything would run smoothly on the day of the wedding. Roman’s meticulousness in making sure everything was well planned and timed really elevated EVERYTHING. He had great communication with us, and with the wedding coordinator at the venue. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly and the music surpassed our vision of what our wedding would be- our 95 year old aunt was tearing up the dance floor! Watching Roman and the other musicians perform was mesmerizing…my husband said this, (and I think it’s a good testament to who you want booked for your wedding): ‘The man loves what he does!’ Roman’s command of the music was like watching a master… We booked the string quartet for the ceremony and cocktail hour, as well as for the Extravaganza show with electric guitar. We opted for the DJ for our wedding, and he and the Emcee were absolutely amazing. We received so many compliments saying “That was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to…”, “The music was INCREDIBLE!”, “I want to hire them for my next event!” etc. etc….If you want to have an incredible celebration, give yourself the gift of Empyreal Strings.

Empyreal Strings were fantastic and very accommodating! They were able to provide music and MC for an Israeli-Russian-American wedding where three languages were spoken. They tailored the music to our requests and were able to read the crowd on the dance floor always having it packed with people. Highly recommend Roman and his Empyreal Strings team for any of your events!

Roman and the band put on a spectacular show; truly an amazing experience that we will never forget and made our wedding so special!!! 10/10 would recommend

We loved working with Roman in June. The mix and cadence of music was perfect and the voices were incredible! My whole wedding was complimenting the band all night. It definitely made our wedding special.

This is the BEST band ever! Our guests were fully entertained and the voices these singers have/energy and the show they put on is simply outstanding!!!!

We hired Roman & Empyreal Strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Roman was very easy to communicate with, and didn’t get frustrated when we kept changing our minds about the ceremony music! The string quartet at the ceremony sounded absolutely stunning—the musicians were all complete professionals and so talented. The music was so elegant, and I definitely noticed some of our guests getting emotional when they were playing! Highly recommend Empyreal Strings, you can’t go wrong.

Me and my wife hired Empyreal Strings for my sons wedding on 5/07/21. We had to postpone the wedding for one year 5-07-2022 because of the Covid. Roman has been SO HELPFUL helping us rearrange our wedding since Corona. He rearranged his schedule, and has been communicative, open and honest through the whole thing. I wish all vendors were like him. He didn't charge us any extra and has been completely understanding and very very helpful. Thanks Roman! The music and entertainment was phenomenal! Roman and his team pulled the wedding into a success. Music for cocktail hour was classy, having a live orchestra for the ceremony made my son and daughter in- law feel Amazing walking down the aisle, and they were amazing at getting our tough crowd to stay on the dance floor. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the live music. The violin Extravaganza show is engaging and definitely gives the extra pizzazz! There was not a boring moment. Not a single complaint or dissatisfied person. Our American friend came up to us and said they had never seen a live band at a wedding, only a DJ, and asked for the contact for Empyreal Strings. Roman worked with our budget and met with us on numerous occasions to ensure our vision would come to life! Thank you Empyreal Strings team!

My husband and I hired Empyreal Strings for my wedding on 6/12/22. The music and entertainment was phenomenal! Roman and his team pulled the wedding into a success. Music for cocktail hour was classy, having a live orchestra for the ceremony makes you feel like a Queen walking down the aisle, and they were amazing at getting our tough crowd to stay on the dance floor. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the live music. The violin Extravaganza show is engaging and definitely gives the extra pizzazz! There was not a boring moment. Not a single complaint or dissatisfied person. Our American friend came up to us and said they had never seen a live band at a wedding, only a DJ, and asked for the contact for Empyreal Strings. Roman worked with our budget and met with us on numerous occasions to ensure our vision would come to life! Thank you Empyreal Strings team!

The magical string quartet provided by empyreal Strings was magnificent and played for our son's wedding ceremony. It was an outdoor garden wedding and the musical rendition of the more modern songs that the bride and groom chose were amazingly beautiful! Bravo. Great group to work with; very responsive and professional. We highly recommend them

Roman and his band truly made our wedding night so special and so much fun. They blew away us and all of our guests, truly exceeded my already high expectations!! Roman and his team are truly talented. We had a Russian-Italian wedding and he managed to make a playlist that catered to both sides of the family and also flowed from song to song beautifully. From the orchestra for our ceremony and cocktail hour to his singers, band, DJ and MC for our reception/after party, everything was truly perfection. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and our singers were so good!!! All of my guests were raving about our band saying that this was the best band they have ever seen and some even stated they wish they could watch them perform live again!!! Our guests are still talking about the extravaganza show - truly remarkable. We have been guests at a lot of weddings and Emypreal Strings is the absolute best (and I’m not just saying that because it was our wedding)!!!

Empyreal Strings and Roman specifically were amazing to work with - he brings the best musicians together that work well together and are all extremely talented. Roman is very professional and two weeks before the wedding, he met with us for a detailed session where we went through the entire night and chose our music. The level of detail on his part is extremely helpful. We can’t thank him and his team enough for such a wonderful time.

Roman and Empyreal Strings made our wedding absolutely amazing! Roman was a pleasure to work with, from the beginning, and answered all our questions. Roman's Extravaganza Violin show was SPECTACULAR! Our guests loved it! Roman and the team really know how to get the crowd dancing. Empyreal Strings made our night so memorable and fun!

I loved working with Empyreal Strings. They were the best part of our wedding, hands down, and our guests keep messaging us telling us the same thing. Roman is a pro and has an amazing team of talented, skilled vocalists and musicians. The Extravaganza Show was out of this world! Such a unique and memorable show that got everybody dancing. They have an impressive and diverse repertoire list which can be tailored to any couples' preferences. They will even accommodate special requests. We are really so impressed with them and wish we could have another wedding just to hear them play again! Thank you Roman and team for everything. You made our wedding amazing.

Just had my sons wedding in August. Roman and the crew were amazing. They were everything we expected and then some. Professionalism on the highest possible level. Roman will spend hours with you to go over every little detail to make everything perfect and to our liking. Our party was beautiful and happy occasion thanks to you guys. Everyone was dancing and having a good time.

Best decision of my wedding was to have this amazing band. Such a large selection of music that catered to every taste (Jewish, Russian, American classics, pop, everything!) singers were phenomenal, band put on such a great show and my guests are still talking about the extravaganza! Hire them, you will not be sorry!

Honestly, hiring this band was the BEST decision of my wedding and I would urge everyone to hire them for any events. I do not have enough nice things to say about this band and will be hiring them for any of my future events – they MADE my wedding INCREDIBLE! Every single person at the wedding asked me where I found this incredible group – the range of music, the Extravaganza Show with electric violins and was easily the best part of our reception. The attention to detail and quality of music is unparalleled. They can do traditional Jewish/Yiddish music, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson and all the pop songs equally as well. Americans, Russians, and kids were all OBSESSED with this band, and I know if you hire them, you’ll have zero regrets. My wedding was on the dance floor the whole time, and it was 100% because of the quality of work by Roman and his band. They made my wedding and Roman helped me craft the perfect list, from start to finish. I am in love with this band and know you will be too. Even musicians at the wedding, spoke to the professionalism and quality of work. Just book it, you won’t get better service or music. Thank you!

We hired Roman and his string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. They were phenomenal and created the elegant and classy vibe we were looking for. So many guests came up to me after the wedding to applaud the quartet on the quality of music delivered (many of whom were serious violinists and cellists themselves) . Not only was the music top notch, the quartet played fun and modern songs during the cocktail hour that surprised guests since they didn't realize string instruments could play those songs! I'm so thankful our best man got a video of the quartet playing our favorite song "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit so we will have it forever. During the planning process, Roman was responsive and helpful while we were dealing with COVID delays and last minute changes. The song suggestions he made were perfect. We didn't need an amplifier since the sound of four string instruments was magnificent. We would choose Empyreal Strings over and over again!

We hired Roman and his Empyreal Strings orchestra for our wedding! They were INCREDIBLE. Roman was so kind and helpful preparing for the wedding, especially with me being so anxious it was nice to have a vendor that absolutely knew what to do and what we needed without me needing to explain much. He played music from both mine and my now Husband’s cultures and made sure to keep the party going all night! Everyone from both sides of our families loved him and were thrilled. We also had to move our wedding 3 times due to Covid and he was so kind in getting back to us quickly and changing our date. On the actual wedding day some things we had planned had to be moved around and Roman worked quickly to switch things up and make sure everything went on without a hitch and our guests didn’t even know that anything was changed last minute by us! His string quartet during our cocktail hour and ceremony was amazing. Both my husband and I are musicians so we can tell when musicians are quality and they played so beautifully and clean, they could have been performers at Lincoln Center in New York. They sounded incredibly professional and we were so happy with the elegance that they added. The live singers that Roman brought with his team are also incredible. They were so flawless I forgot it was live sometimes! The Dj was also amazing and knew how to get people on the dance floor even with most of our guests being older in age. Everyone had a blast. The absolute BEST part though- was their “extravaganza show” it was pretty much a 20min strings rock concert! 4 string players played incredible pop rock and even classical but with an added twist. The SHOW WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR RECEPTION!! If you hire Roman, you MUST make sure to ask for the extravaganza show, it is one of the most memorable parts of our whole wedding and people are still talking about that part of the evening. Super super recommend Roman and his team!

We hired Roman & his team from empyreal strings for our wedding originally in 2020. We had to postpone twice and even find a new venue but Roman was very responsive and helpful. Postponing was easy working with him. The quartet strings were beautiful during ceremony & cocktail. Our MC Stas and singer Yuliya had amazing voices, we heard so many compliments from our guests. The saxophonist was awesome and his sax even lit up which was so cool. He definitely elevated the dance floor. DJ Vlad played a mix of international music - russian, israeli, spanish ,and top hits which was great for our audience. The dance floor was occupied the whole night. Lastly, we did the extravaganza show which was amazing. Our guests were raving about it all night. It brought the party together and it was so interactive. Roman and his team were phenomenal. Roman is highly organized and experienced. He meets with you to go over scheduling of the day and songs you want to have. Working with him was very smooth and I recommend to hire him & his team for your next wedding/event! Thank you so much, Love Anna & Alex

After a great experience with Empyreal Strings at my daughter’s wedding in the summer of 2018, we again engaged Empyreal Strings through Roman to provide the music for the second wedding in our family. This was to have occurred this May, 2020. Due to COVID-19, my daughter and future son in law had to postpone. Roman worked diligently and openly with us as we looked for dates and ways to reschedule. He approached this difficult situation with flexibility and understanding. In this challenging and changing time we live in, Roman’s professionalism and talent is helping me to be confident and excited about our rescheduled wedding in May of 2021.

I have seen Roman and the Empyreal Strings band at multiple celebrations, so when it came time to choose a band for my own wedding, it was a no brainer. I reached out to Roman who was quick to respond, and happy to accommodate our budget and taste. Unfortunately, my wedding has been rescheduled to May 2021, due to Covid-19, but I wanted to post a review about what a pleasure it has been to work with Roman while navigating this difficult time. He responded to my emails promptly, checked into the potential dates to reschedule my wedding, and worked with me calmly and patiently as I confirmed with my venue and my other vendors. Roman has been great, a total professional, and I cannot wait to be able to post a review of the band when they play at my wedding next year!!!

Although we had to postpone our wedding due to corona virus until next year, Roman and his team are wonderful and very accommodating. Roman was very responsive, caring, and understanding and accommodated the date switch to our needs. Empyreal String band was recommended to us from several friends who used them in the past and described the performance as wonderful and an unforgettable wedding night. After viewing videos, my fiancé and I decided this band would make our wedding day a dream come true. The band is very talented, professional, and respectful and knows how to cater towards the type of wedding we are looking for. I am beyond excited for our new scheduled wedding date and can’t wait for Empyreal to perform on our special day for us!

The music was the highlight of our wedding. I didn't give Roman much time to prepare and I was very picky. I told him I HATE BORING wedding music. Within about 1 week, literally 1 week, he had prepared composition for me to walk down to the aisle to Hans Zimmer/Interstellar, and then rock out to music raging from En Vogue to Leonard Skynard. This isn't to say he wasn't realistic - he told me what he could and could not do in that short time frame, because he gives 100% to everything and he will not perform something he cannot adequately prepare....then on the day of the wedding, he and the band bring huge energy to every single performance, everyone was on their feet filming them when they weren't dancing, it was truly remarkable and everyone is still talking about it months later.

Truly a wonderful experience. I've played classical music for a while, and I was very impressed with Roman and his team, and their ability to master complicated pieces on a short timescale. Great!

What an amazing ensemble of utterly professional, kind, spirited and talented musicians, djs and mcs! Roman leads them all as a true maestro and is able to bring together truly unique musical combinations. My husband and I are an Irish-Russian Couple, both 1st generation, so the wedding was an equal mix of guests with truly multinational musical tastes. Empyreal Strings hit it out of the park with the musical program: from the strings for the ceremony, the spanish guitar for the cocktail hour, the russian gypsy duo and the electric violin trio (both played during the reception and brought the crow to their feet), to the DJ Vlad Kalman and the utterly impeccable and awesome MC Koko - every single person went above and beyond on our wedding day bringing their talent and love for music and entertainment. We were overjoyed, our guests were enthralled and even the catering and serving staff came out to watch from the back because the performances were so fantastic. I am probably running out of stellar adjectives to use so I will end by underlining how incredibly glad we were to have had Empyreal Strings at our wedding and could not recommend them enough.

The entire team at Empyreal Strings was professional, talented, and produced a phenomenal and lively night of entertainment for everyone at our wedding. The members of the group and the leader, Roman, are very clearly experienced. From the string quartet at cocktail hour to the band at the reception, to the stupendous Extravaganza Show, Empyreal Strings captivated the audience and brought everyone to the dance floor!

We hired Empyreal Strings for our wedding comprised of both Russian and English speaking guests. From the moment we had our first meeting we were met with professionalism which continued throughout the 1.5 years until our wedding day. Every meeting with Roman made us feel more confident. The repertoire list is very comprehensive and the quality of the performers (singing and instrumental) is unparalleled. We got married over a week ago and we are still receiving compliments about the band/strings and the effort and performance they give. We could not be happier with the turnout and how all of our guests felt included as Igor, the MC, spoke in Russian as well as English. Roman and the rest of his crew were nothing short of amazing and I would recommend them 100 times over.

Roman with his musicians, DJ, and MC were amazing from beginning to end! They made the wedding what it's supposed to be: joyous and fun! Roman made the planning process easy and simple. And the Extravaganza show wowed our guests even more! They were all professionals and a pleasure to with! Highly recommend!

We had a full 12 piece band for our June 23 wedding so the experience was mind blowing. We had a live sax, a live guitar, and the most amazing voices ever. I am a huge fan. They read the crowd and play to ensure a full dance floor. It was always full and it's no wonder. The singers and musicians would often come into the dance floor to mingle and interact with the guests. I loved it. On top of that, we booked an "extravaganza show" and that on its own deserves a 15/10 rating. Seriously. Go Google "Empyreal Strings extravaganza show" and you'll see some amazing YouTube videos. 10/10!

I have dealt with many vendors in my life, never have a dealt with someone so passionate about his trade. Hiring Roman was the best decision we could have made, he was on top of everything and to tell you the truth over delivered on his promises(very rare in this industry). Roman was very well organized and had every minute planned, on the wedding day he was one of the first people to arrive to make sure everything is set up for success and the last to leave. Empyreal strings team was very well managed and hearing them play actually gave me goosebumps. I give them huge credit for making our wedding so much fun. Thanks again Roman!

I would give it 10stars out of 5 ! Roman and his talented musicians created magic during my daughters wedding a few days ago. He is a class act, with a passion and a vision. Countless meetings before the event- determining what you - the client want - and on that base he builds a masterpiece. All our guests were blown away by the attention to detail. The best part is that Roman interacts with you at all times during the preparation stages. He wants his clients to be very involved in selecting the type of music crating a program for your event (down to a minute) We hired life band and also his extravaganza show . He truly delivered a magical, sensual and thoughtful musical colllage custom made for our young couple . We were blown away by various singers , highly talented musicians, fantastic energetic MCd - Charles for English speaking crowd and Neri for Russian speakers (it was a bilingual party ) To sum up -awesome , amazing and magical ! Thank you Roman for making that night unforgettable ! By the way -all our guests gave us such rave reviews in after party conversations Thank you

Roman and the Empyreal Strings band (including Gary Gazarkh as MC) are the absolute best!! They handled everything at our wedding from music when guests arrived, the ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception flawlessly. From the start of wedding planning Roman was key to organizing the timeline for our event (and even recommending some of our other vendors). Everyone was wow'd by the music, especially the extravaganza show!! Roman's team also perfectly mixed Russian songs with American songs, and the dance floor was always full. The whole band is incredibly talented and so high energy, it really made the party! Our guests are still talking about it a month later and asking for Roman's contact information to use at their own future events! We couldn't be happier to have had Empyreal Strings at our wedding!! Thanks for everything!

Words cannot describe the amazingness that Roman and his band brought to our wedding. They were phenomenal! I am Russian and my husband is not, so we wanted a band that could do both. What we got was a band that could do EVERYTHING! We had a little bit of everything and even added the Extravaganza which is an all string show that is performed during yor wedding dinner portion that is fun, fast, loud, and gets the crowd going! We wanted a band that would keep our dance floor packed all night, and thats exactly what Empyreal did! We were blown away!

Empyreal Strings was the band I had at my wedding and they are absolutely fantastic! My family is Russian, my husband’s family is American and they had the perfect balance of music to cater to all the guests. Charles was our MC and he was great! He was fun, attentive, and engaging. Roman is a pleasure to work with and he’s incredibly talented. The company is professional and they did a phenomenal job!!

If you're looking for a band to blow your socks off then look no further cause Empyreal Strings has it all! My wife and I saw them perform before and knew we had to have them for our wedding. From the very beginning, Roman was a joy to work with. He communicated with me and my wife and addressed all of our needs. They have such a unique and eclectic style that truly fits any event. The "Extravaganza" Show was mind-blowing. Roman and his team of electric-string quartet shared a passionate, high-energy performance. The crowd really enjoyed it and the band fed off of everyone's energy and really made it spectacular. After the wedding, our guests could not stop raving about the band. I would highly recommend Empyreal Strings for you next event.

We could not have done this without Roman Tepliskiy and his awesome entourage!! From the string quartet, to the DJ, singer and MC, to the songs and details of the wedding procession- everything worked out perfectly. People are still talking about the MC and his saxophone playing! Roman helped with finding our wedding planner, who was just great! He arranged for lively entertainment of latin and tango dancers. All our guests had so much fun at the wedding and made it the BEST party of our lives! We are very grateful to have found Roman and for ALL his help and recommendations, which did not disappoint! Would work with him again in a heartbeat and 100% recommend!!! Thank you again Roma for for our DREAM WEDDING! - Kseniya and Andrew

Before I was even engaged, I always knew I would book this band. Absolutely no one compares to them. They were the very first vendor I called when I planned my wedding. Let’s start with the fact that roman is the one who helped me pick out my venue. Shortly after when we already hired him, he helped me with other personal things I needed as well. He was always around when I needed him. He would answer me at 11 at night when I had a question about the song I wanted to use to walk down the aisle. Now let’s get to the wedding- first of all his show is amazing, I’ve seen it for the 4th time now and it always touches me. I saw him constantly walking around making sure EVERYONE was enjoying themselves, if they weren’t, he would make sure they were. I looked at my dance floor and realized that everyone was there! Nobody was sitting! His singers have phenomenal voices, they make people feel like they’re at a concert. I truly enjoyed myself at my wedding which is not something a lot of people can say. Thank you so much for everything!

Roman and Empyreal Strings were amazing! Everyone couldn't stop talking about their incredible violin show after the wedding! My husband I were in awe of their performance. One of the best vendors to hire and such a pleasure to work with. Roman also provided a great MC, great entertainment and music; kept our guests dancing all night long. I would recommend them over and over. They really did an incredible job!

Roman and Empyreal Strings were amazing! Everyone at our wedding raved about them. Roman was so great and easy to work with. I would recommend them over and over. They really did an incredible job! Trust Roman and his advice. He really knows how to make a wedding awesome and fun.

We went to two other weddings where Empyreal strings performed and really enjoyed it, decided to hire them for ours. There were no surprises, Roman Teplinsky and his band were excellent and delivered and unforgettable night of music. Highly recommend these guys to anyone that wants to dance and enjoy their wedding. They are a gem of a wedding band.

Roma and his skilled band performed and MC'd our wedding on June 2nd and we can't say enough about how overall amazing the evening went. It was non stop without any bumps. Constantly keeping the crowd on their feet and smiling. The music was quality and sound was clear. This isn't your average band. They perform incredible mini sets (chef's table remix with strings) , the singers including some of the musicians make their way into the crowd to make it more of an interactive experience. Honestly Roma is a very compassionate man and knows this business, so even though his opinons might come off a little bold, its because he actually knows. I'm the third recommendation (my brothers and cousins wedding prior), and would recommend him to another 30 weddings. Best of Luck and Thanks again for an over-the-top night.

THIS BAND IS EVERYTHING!!!!!! If you want your party to BE a party Empyreal Strings is a MUST have! Their coordination, performance and exclusive show with the best top choice talented team will make every celebration vast, grant and unforgettable experience - and this is what we wanted and what we got from our wedding celebration - unforgettable experience! Thank you to a very talented team for making our celebration special!!! Highly recommend!

Empyreal Strings was one of the highlights of our wedding! Roman was a pleasure to work with and helped us plan out every minute of our special day. From the beautiful string quartet welcoming our guests and playing throughout the ceremony, to 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!

I would like to leave a personal review for Roman and the Empyreal Strings Band. This past weekend MY husband and I married and had Empyreal Strings at our wedding. Roman and his band played with TREMENDOUS effort, energy, grace, and beauty during 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.

Roman and Empyreal Strings were such a pleasure to work with. From meeting with us initially to helping us to choose our songs and a schedule for the ceremony and reception, no detail was missed. Our guests are still raving about how fantastic 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!

Roman Teplinsky and his band, Empyreal Strings, are incredible. ES & Roman are extraordinarily organized, extremely talented, and there to make sure your wedding is unforgettable. Every single guest we have spoken to since our wedding has complimented us on the band. Without a doubt, ES is the way to go! Thank you for everything!!!

Roman and the Empyreal Strings band were a highlight of my wedding! The ensemble band was amazing and had great energy! I would definitely recommend them--unlike any other band out there. Roman himself works incredibly hard to make sure the flow of your wedding is perfect and that all your guests are having fun!

WOW. They made my wedding, period. My guests were blown away! Even my venue said that they have never seen such a performance at a wedding, and neither have I! It was like being at a concert, and yet it was very much a wedding. They made sure to 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!!

Roman and Empyreal Strings are one of the kind! They are professional and masters at their craft. They made our wedding memorable for our guests and ourselves. Guests kept telling us that they have never ever seen anything as amazing as Empyreal 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!!!

After choosing our wonderful wedding venue, Greenville Country Club in Delaware, hiring Roman Teplinsky and Empyreal Strings for music and entertainment was the best decision we made for our wedding. Roman made our party. He is a talented musician, 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

Roman and his team are simply amazing. No detail went unnoticed and they know how to throw one great party! They do an amazing job at playing off the crowd. I love how they joined our guests on the dance floor and got them involved. It was such 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.

INCREDIBLE!!!! Truly this band is amazing. They put on an incredible show for our guests. Roman is so passionate about his work and put together and outstanding multicultural repertoire that got every guest on the dance floor! The Empyreal Orchestra show was fantastic - such a hit with our guests! Thank you, Roman! Thank you, Empyreal Strings!

Simply the Best! --- Roman is incredibly passionate about music and putting on a fantastic Show! We hired him and his full live string quartet along with 13 other musicians/performers which he pulled together and an awesome host! From the very 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!

Roman Teplinsky and his band, Empyreal Strings, perform excellent work as a team and turn weddings into highly energetic and entertaining events. When my husband and I met Roman, he was very attentive to our requests and made himself available 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.

Roman was an absolute pleasure to work with. He has many years of experience organizing and leading weddings and other big events and it truly shows through his professionalism. None of us knew the proper order of a ceremony or reception and Roman 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!

Roman Teplinsky and Empyreal Strings were possibly the best decision that we made for the wedding. He is an absolute perfectionist and was so involved with everything from the ceremony to the reception. His 11 piece band blew everyone away and 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

Empyreal Strings set the perfect mood for our wedding day! Roman and his team are true musical professionals. All the guests at our wedding were raving about how amazing the music was. Especially the electric violin show and how they felt they were at a concert. They were so pleasant to work with and created the perfect atmosphere. You cannot go wrong with Empyreal Strings!

Roman and the entire Empyreal Strings band did an amazing job at our wedding in Philadelphia! Our guests were left in awe of the amazing electric violin show and are still talking about it to this day! Roman is very organized and has great input to make your wedding day top notch. These are some of the most talented musicians!

As all the dust settles and we try to resume our post-honeymoon lives, finally I get a chance to write a review on our amazing band for our Ohkea Castle wedding on August 21st. My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to hire Roman 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.

The best decision ever! Unforgettable!! Phenomenal!!! If you want your guests to have a great time and enjoy every second of your entire event, such as a wedding in our case, from guests arrival to ceremony, reception and special 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!!!

I can't express how amazing Empyreal is! We hired them for my wedding which was on Sunday, September 4th, 2016. They absolutely made the wedding. From the ceremony music, to cocktail hour and to reception, they were phenomenal! The violin show 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!

Empyreal Strings is phenomenal and like nothing your guests will ever see. We used them for the band, DJ, lighting, violins, and show at our wedding. They are a one-stop-shop of pure amazing. You do not need to go anywhere else. They played a jazz 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!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH EMPYREAL STRINGS :) I Shannon (Groom/Husband) and my (Bride/Wife) Eva Morales are sooooooo extremely happy and grateful to Mr. Roman Teplinsky and his band Empyreal Strings for giving our wedding on 4/3/16 the BEST TUNES. 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!!!!!

We hired Empyreal to play the music for our December church ceremony, and they did a such a phenomenal job! We had a string quintet, but the way the music filled the room, it sounded as if there were at least 10 musicians vs. the 5 we actually 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!!

Empyreal did an amazing job for our December 2015 wedding. We hired a string quintet to play the ceremony music at our church, and the results were spectacular. We did a lot of research on various string quartet / quintet options, and Empyreal 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.

Wedding Date: October 31, 2015 Roman and Empyreal Strings are truly phenomenal to work with leading up to your wedding/special event and on the day of your wedding, you couldn't ask for a better experience or band. Roman and Empyreal Strings 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!!!

My wife and I are very happy to have chosen Empyreal Strings as our entertainment for our wedding on October 17th, 2015. On the wedding day, everything went as we expected. The music was wonderful during all phases of our wedding. We loved violin 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.
