"The music all day was flawless — the live piano during our ceremony was so elegant and emotional, the sax and piano combo during cocktail hour set the perfect vibe, and the DJ, sax, and drums hybrid at our reception brought the energy to a whole other level. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the music was! We also rented EMG’s black and white photo booth, which was such a hit. They even customized it with our save-the-date logo, and the pictures turned out so cool — everyone loved it. Truly, everything about EMG exceeded our expectations. The talent, the energy, the professionalism — it all came together to create the most unforgettable night. I can’t recommend them enough!"
"We had an incredible experience with EMG and cannot recommend them highly enough. They provided our DJ, live musicians (keys and violin) for our ceremony and cocktail hour, lighting, after-party DJ, and sparklers. "
