Hands down the BEST wedding band I have ever seen. Do not hesitate to book Empire Sound for your wedding, it will be the highlight of your event! We had a 240 person wedding and ev...
ery single person was on the dance floor the entire night. Not only do they sound incredible, but their energy is contagious and they know exactly what to play to get the crowd on the dance floor. The process of working with the team was so lovely and easy and they truly want to make sure the wedding will be the best night of your life.
Every single guest could not stop talking about the band the next day, they were all blown away and all reiterated that Empire Sound was the best band they've ever heard. I was most excited about the band for my wedding and I'm telling you I was completely blown away. I'm already sad that it's over, and I hope someone I know will book them so I can hear them again soon!

Chosing Starrock Productions for our wedding celebration was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning.
We originally planned to get married in 2020 but had multipl...
e reschedules due to covid. We finally had our celebration in 2023. Starrock graciously worked with us through reschedules, which was a huge weight off our shoulders. It was not easy dealing with all the uncertainties that came with the pandemic, but they handled it like true professionals.
Leading up to our celebration, they took the time to understand our music preferences. They were invested in making our wedding day as special as possible, and they nailed it! Empire Sound (their NYC based band) brought such an infectious energy to the event, and their talent was out of this world. Our guests can’t stop talking about how phenomenal the band was and they want to book them for their own future events.
If you’re looking for a wedding band that knows how to bring the house down, this is the one!!! They're not only super fun and talented, but they turned our wedding dreams into reality!

On the day of the event, Empire Sound brought an incredible level of talent and energy to the stage. Every band member showcased their exceptional skills and engaged the audience in a way that created an unforgettable atmosphere. The music was vibrant, lively, and had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away. Our guests were thoroughly entertained and have not stopped raving about how amazing the band was. Without a doubt, Empire Sound played a significant role in making our wedding celebration an absolute success. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a talented and enthusiastic band for their special occasion.

finish. Claire and her team worked with us closely through COVID 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…

ought high energy coupled with skilled musicians to the table which led to one of the most packed dance floors I have seen at a wedding in some time. From a vendor perspective, they were also very easy to work with and accommodating as timing and plans changed throughout the night as we adjusted to the rain plan. They are top notch all around!
The band, as expected, was the absolute highlight of the night! They were amazing to work with and put in an amazing show. Epic party. Thank you so much!

to ours in 2019 that they had performed at, and immediately knew then that we had to book them. From ease of communication, attentive and detailed planning, to the stellar production level, it was worth every penny. Empire Sounds was one of the top highlights of our wedding as per the countless comments and feedback from guests during and after.
Thank you Starrock Productions, Empire Sound, and Claire for making our wedding perfect and so memorable. Rock On!

ather on the fly. They played the exact part of our first dance exactly as we asked. They also kept the energy up even though the room was more empty than usual cause of COVID. Their energy made us feel like everything was ok for at least one night. I couldn't be more thankful to them and their performances!
The band was an absolute pleasure to work with, and just the perfect fit for the evening. They were so gracious and accommodating, and their sound was unreal.
