Starrock Productions’ Empire Sound blew us, and all of our guests away. Having a killer band was priority number one for us and Starrock delivered the best experience from start to finish. Claire and her team worked with us closely through COVI...

D postponements and rescheduling, and their expertise and guidance on music, flow, etc was invaluable. On-site the band members communicated with us and our planner perfectly, seamlessly adjusting to the rain plan and always making sure we were happy and comfortable with the plan. From ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, the music was spot on and exactly what the moment called for. Our dance floor was packed all night - exactly what we wanted. Our guests continue to send messages on how incredible Empire Sound was. Now we’re trying to figure out if we can have a big party every year just so we can get them back…

Excellent experience. They really do customize their sound and performances to exactly what you ask of them. They also read the dancefloor and in our case, that meant keeping the dancing going all night long!
