Emerald Empire Band is AWESOME because there are so many choices of instruments and artists. We worked with the producer, Ward, who made great song suggestions and we were able to stay within our budget. The #1 priority for our wedding was a super fun and energetic band with a variety of songs that all ages would enjoy. Ward made this happen! Guests of all ages were out dancing during the ENTIRE reception. My uncle said he couldn't remember the last time he danced so much! Guests sang & danced until the very end. There was a perfect mix of songs & energy for our crowd. We had so many guests and staff at the wedding come up to us saying that was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. They couldn't believe the enthusiasm of the band. On a side note, they were also very timely and professional. We couldn't have asked for anything better!

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better.

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

Hi, I'm Nick Bryant! I am a singer-guitarist, and I've played professionally for nearly 10 years. I am the band manager of Velvet City Sound. From booking, to the send-off, and everything in between, expect nothing less than the best from VCS!

Wow. I knew Velvet City Sound was going to be good (referral from a friend), but I didn't expect them to be this good! They kept everyone dancing, showed up on time, and made everything stress free. Nick and the band were super professional and flexible! I had last minute changes and requests that they were happy to accommodate. If I could give 100 stars I would!

In college as I was working on my music degree I began to really understand the only way something can be great is if you commit to it. It was then when I first said these words to myself: 'For better or worse, I will make my life about making music.' That decision turned out for the better. Because 7 Sharp 9 is all that I do, I have put all of my focus on the music we play and the clients we entertain. We aim to give our couples more than they expect, and the reviews we have received show that we have done just that, consistently over the last several years.

7 Sharp 9 delivers with a bang! Their music will get people out of their chairs and on the dance floor!!! Chris is extremely easy to deal with, and very professional in his handing of events. Chris has been hired several times by clients, and they have always been extremely pleased. The last event they played at, the client extended their play time over two extra hours- and wanted to extend it longer! You can’t go wrong with a music experience with this band of amazing talented musicians!

First of all: during our reception, countless people came up and asked where we had found this band; they were that good!! This band kept our friends and family of all generations on the dancefloor. Tasteful Tea worked with us to add specific instruments that we wanted for our favorite music genres and had a great song list to look at for reference. They knew how to read a room and keep the party going (without cheesy get-on-the-dancefloor songs). So kind and really made our reception the blast that it was!
