    Exceptional Music Entertainment

    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"!

    Incredible from Start to Finish

    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!

    Exceptional performers, organized and professional

    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.

    Fantastic!!

    On behalf of our family, thank you so much! You and your band did such a beautiful job at my sister’s wedding and exceeded our expectations. The quartet during the Chuppah especially was stunning and captured everything we wanted it to with the music. You added to the specialness of the night and the violin playing was exquisite. And the “Extravaganza Show" was off the charts and so fun! THANK YOU!!!

    Spectacular! Breath-taking! Memorable!

    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!

    So helpful

    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!

    Outstanding!

    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!

    Excellent Wedding Musicians

    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!

    Diana and Rolando's Wedding

    Roman and his band Empyreal Strings are phenomenal 😍. We couldn't hire anyone better to entertain our guests. The singing, the show, the MC were outstanding and especially the extravaganza show. We will definitely keep this group in mind and recommend to all our friends who need amazing live music!!

    Best Live Music Entertainment

    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!

    Amazing experience, 100% recommend!

    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.

    WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! You are losing out on the experience of a lifetime if you do not do the Extravaganza show...

    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 the best... 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!” ….If you want to have an incredible celebration, give yourself the gift of Empyreal Strings.

    wedding ceremony music

    the string quartet was magnificent and played all of the modern tunes for the ceremony that we requested, beautifully. We had a gorgeous and serene garden wedding and the music made it that much more magical. Roman Teplinsky was responsive and professional. We highly recommend them for your wedding plans

    Love Empyreal Strings

    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!

    Absolutely amazing!

    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)!!!

    Absolutely incredible

    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.

    Amazing work! Amazing band!

    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!

    The Best Event Band Ever

    As owner of Sam Ash Music Stores, we know and have used many fine bands for our family events, but none were as impressive as Empyreal Strings. They selected the perfect performers for each type of music and for each part of our daughter's wedding.

    Our guests could not stop talking about Roman's impressive string show that highlighted our dinner. Four electronic stringed instruments provided the fullness of a large orchestra. The excitement of the performance is unforgettable.

    The band makes or breaks a party. You cannot do better than Empyreal Strings.

    We just did our second wedding with Empyreal Strings and they were as great as ever. The crowd could not stop dancing and their show was the highlight of the event. You can’t do better.
