Empyreal Strings delivered a party of a lifetime for our wedding. If you have a dream/vision for your event, Roman and his team will work with you to deliver. They listened to all of our requests and created a dream party-like atmosphere. I never wanted to the dance floor to be empty and it was PACKED ALL NIGHT! Chantele, Paul, Igor, Raz, DJ Vlad and the entire band was so easy and lovely to work with on the day of. Whatever I wanted, they made it happen. We had a mix of Russian and American guests - everyone was RAVING about the band all night. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Do not hesitate to book them. read more

Empyreal strings did a phenomenal job with greeting our guests, playing music for cocktail hour, following our very specific ceremony wants/needs, performing an unforgettable dinner show and of course entertaining our guests the whole night. Roman and his team were able to incorporate American, Jewish and Russian music into one event flawlessly. The extravaganza show blew everyone away as always. It was such a pleasure to watch them perform. So much energy and talent! Love them! Alina and Alex 9.29.24 read more

WOW what can I say, Roman is an absolute genius and his expertise for classic and beautiful music shined through on our special day! We got married this past Friday, 8/30/24 and it was something out of this world!!! My family and friends won't stop talking about how amazing the music was especially the extravaganza show!!! Roman truly made it a wonderful experience from the moment we met I knew I was in great hands until our big day. Roman was extremely organized, responsive, attentive to many small and intricate details and full of wonderful suggestions and ideas. Roman provided excellent repertoire lists and accommodated songs that were not on them as well. He listens and if you do your homework you will get an excellent result. My husband and I are eternally grateful for the everlasting memories we created together. The song I walked down the aisle was so emotional and raw it created just the right amount of drama I was looking to achieve. I still get chills thinking about it! Beautiful work and singers of course were amazing too!!!! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, truly I cannot recommend this band enough and will keep in mind for all future events. Thank you!!! read more

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! read more

Absolutely amazing! Roman helped us organize every detail of the wedding party and ceremony. He has expertise of many years. He knew the right songs to recommend, the right host, the right DJ. Everything was tasteful. He listened to what we wanted and delivered. The day of the event he was organized, arrived on time, set everything up seamlessly. It was 0 stress going with this vendor! The live music was beautiful. Everything was on time. The guests to this day don't stop asking about the live extravaganza show! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

It is my pleasure to write an excellent review for Roman Teplinsky and Empyreal Strings We hired them to perform as a quartet on September 1, at Westchester Country Club for our daughter and now son-in- law's wedding ceremony. They performed with a violin, cello, viola and flute. From our first conversation and subsequent emails, Roman was extremely responsive and helpful to us. We discussed the need in particular for the flute to have the proper microphone. His attention to detail convinced us that he would be the best person to coordinate the public address system not only for his musicians but also for the clergy performing the ceremony. We also appreciated Roman's input on the music selection. The quartet played a variety of both popular and classical music that created the most beautiful setting for our outdoor ceremony. I can't wait to see the video so that I can truly appreciate the beauty Empyreal Strings created for the wedding ceremony. On a side note, when I was researching string quartets, I noticed that it is common for wedding bands to subcontract with students from music schools.to perform for the ceremony. Working with Empyreal Strings gave me the confidence that we were working with seasoned professionals who would create a music program that not only reflected our choices but also understood the importance of maintaining the correct tempo and cadence for the ceremony. While it is extra work to hire separate musicians for the wedding ceremony, working with musicians like Empyreal Strings ensure you will have a caliber of professionalism that is unmatched! read more

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 highly recommend!!! read more

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. read more

Class ACT! 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! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

Empyreal Strings is the very best band you can get for your wedding or event. This is the second time we had them provide the music for our daughters' weddings and they made the party memorable. No one could stop dancing. Their string quartet show alone is incredible and exciting and must be seen and heard. They can do any kind of music. read more

Working with Roman was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He took our wedding very seriously from the very first meeting, heard all of our worries and visions, and listened to all of our desires and made everything a dream from beginning to end! Roman and his team went above and beyond all of our expectations and we truly felt like the event was flawless because of Roman's true caring and professionalism. Not only was Roman extremely professional throughout our entire wedding planning process he also was very personable and was able to mediate between my father, and I and he truly made our dreams come true and gave us all exactly what we envisioned and what we all wanted. I am so happy we chose Roman and his team, thanks to this amazing ensemble our wedding was a true dream come true from the beginning to the end. We were speechless afterwards because everything was flawless and just on a another level amazing!! Roman and his team are truly the best, and there are no words to describe Roman's true passion in this business and in truly making sure his clients are happy, he is one of a kind and we loved him!!! Thank you Roman and team!!! read more

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! read more

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!!! read more

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 insured that the planning process easy and simple. And the Extravaganza show wowed our guests even more! They were all professionals and a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend! read more

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)!!! read more

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 read more

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! read more

A talented band, and a good performance - so why two stars? Because they were WAY TOO LOUD! They didn't respond to multiple requests to lower the volume. At one time, about 1/3rd of the guests were outside on the patio, trying to take a break from the decibel onslaught. Would we hire them again? Only if they guaranteed a lower volume, and responded politely when asked to do so. read more

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. read more

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. read more

When we began our search for our wedding band, I naturally thought of Roman Teplinksy and Empyreal Strings. The band performed at my sisters wedding in 2012 and had the guests on their feet from start to finish. Empyreal strings has everything you need. Whether it's Jazz, International, Classical, Top 40 or the infamous extravaganza violin show, this band has it all! I would highly recommend you to meet with Roman and see his vision for your next event! read more

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! read more

Roman, the owner of Empyreal Strings, was in charge of all entertainment at our wedding. He is a musician himself who plays string instruments. His string quartet performed at our cocktail hour, the ceremony, and also did an electric violins show during the reception. The guests loved all of their performances. They're able to play classical and modern motifs brilliantly. Roman also hired other musicians that he works with and an MC for us. We had Radzh on the guitar, Chantelle, Mike on Sax, DJ Arthur, and Igor Gazarkh as MC. They all looked great and were amazing musicians and entertainers. We originally wanted to get just a DJ and a Sax player, but having a small band worked out much better. I would especially recommend this particular team. Roman, also provided 4 moving heads to light up the dance floor. No complaints there either. In addition, Roman worked together with us to write up a detailed schedule for the whole day. Everything was planned literally by the minute, and overall everything went very organized and exactly as planned. We couldn't have done it without Roman. The reason I'm taking off one star is because the band completely ignored our must-play song list. We spent a lot of time selecting roughly 25 songs that we wanted the DJ to play at our event and none of them got played, except for a couple that accidentally coincided with what they were going to play anyway. In fact, there was one song we specifically told Roman not to play, but it was played anyway. I guess they have a set program that they can play and sing and they stick to it. I just wish it was communicated better to us so that we wouldn't waste our time selecting songs. Overall, we're very grateful to Roman and all of his musicians for making our wedding day so much fun for us and our guests. I would recommend Empyreal Strings to anyone planing a wedding, a barmitzva, or any other event that needs an entertainment production. read more

I would like to post a review about hiring Roman, Gary Gazarkh & Empyreal Strings for our wedding at The Vie in Philadelphia words alone can not do justice about how happy I am that we hired Empyreal Strings for our wedding. Not only did they 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 high-light of the wedding, all of our guests are still talking about it. Roman thank you once more!!! read more

Superb! Roman and the Empyreal Strings played the music for our wedding. We had a string quartet during the ceremony, and the full band during the post-wedding celebration. Words cannot begin to describe how amazing their performance was. We chose from a vast library of songs and they played them all flawlessly. Additionally, the pacing of the whole event was perfect. Roman, the MC (Gary) and the band kept the event at the perfect energy level for the whole six hours - it flew by and was over before we knew it. I can't recommend these entertainers highly enough. No one will EVER be anything short of amazed by this band - all our guests were. Surprises galore for everyone! read more

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. read more

We hired Empyreal Strings for our wedding on September 20, 2015 and this was one of the best decisions we have made in terms of vendors for our big day. First of all, Roman ( the band leader) goes above and beyond for on his communication and 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!!! read more

Roman and Empyreal Strings did an amazing job at our wedding on September 18, 2014! I first learned of them when they played at my cousins wedding over a year ago - and once I saw them, I knew that they were the perfect band for my wedding (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! read more

As far as Wedding entertainment goes, Empyreal Strings is absolutely THE BEST. I've seen them at a few family weddings and I can say that the dance floor was always packed. From the first meeting, Roman was a pleasure to work with. He is a true 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 my wife's and my 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! read 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.

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.

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 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. read more
