Reviews

Dont just take our word for it. When you book us you’ll get a group of professional and reliable musicians who love what they do and who are committed to having a good time making sure you’re having a good time

"Empire were an excellent addition to our wedding. They performed a fantastic mix of songs and chose some real floor-fillers without needing to turn to group dances (like the "Macerena") or songs you hear a million times. So many people were on the dance floor by the end of the night. The band were well prepared for our first dance and mother/son + father/daughter dance. They also honoured our requests, including performing "All I Want for Christmas" in July! The band were very professional and I was not aware of any problems at all. They came on time and set up without causing an disruption.

"Empire were fantastic - we loved having them at our wedding. Their energy, engagement and talent got everyone on the dance floor for their full sets, and the DJ'ing between kept it full too. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much - highly recommended!"

About us

If you’re looking for a great wedding and function band that offers something a little different, we might be just what you’re after.

One of the UK's most energetic, entertaining and in demand events bands!

Hi and thanks for visiting our web site. You're obviously planning a wedding, corporate event or a party just for the hell of it, right? We like to think we're the final ingredient you need to make it go with a proper bang!

We've been performing up and down the country for more than 5 years and in that time have played at hundreds of fantastically successful weddings, parties, corporate events, product launches and even the odd trade show - so really there's nothing we can't handle. The musicians that make up the band have decades of combined experience and have been honing our musical skills in some cases since childhood. We don't think you'll find a better prepared, better rehearsed and more experienced band anywhere.

The secret to our success however is the fact that we're all friends and really love what we do. That means that when you book Empire you won't get a bunch of bored musicians just going through the motions. We can’t' wait to get together and fill dance floors. There's nothing quite like striking up a well-known tune and seeing everyone rush to the dance floor to show off their moves.  It really is the best feeling in the world.

It's likely that you're considering booking a live band for the first time in your life. We know how important your event is to you and we pride ourselves on being able to deliver a brilliant night of entertainment for even the widest audience. We never forget that there are people off all ages and tastes, especially at weddings and we make a point of playing something for everyone so that no one is left out. 

Our equipment is top notch and maintained perfectly, our transport is reliable (even the best band in the world is no use if they can't get to the venue) and in all the years we've been together we've never, ever let anyone down.

So if you'd like an instant quote or to check availability, just fill out the quick enquiry form and you'll get a price and availability on your screen in seconds.  You'll also get a follow up email from our friends at Hireaband - the people who administer the diaries and bookings for most of the biggest and most popular bands in the country. Don't worry, we pay them for their assistance, not you - so you'll always get the Empire direct price when you book us.

Thanks for reading this far. Hopefully we'll see you at a party very soon. Just don't forget to bring your dancing shoes - you'll need them.
