Read all 36 answersA roaming band performs among your guests instead of remaining on a fixed stage. Empire moves through the room, from table to table and into the crowd, so the performance becomes part of the event rather than a show happening at the far end of it.
Not for Empire's signature acoustic roaming sets. The band performs on the floor among guests; an amplified party set may use a defined performance area or stage if the venue and production plan call for one.
Empire usually performs in several live sets across the event rather than one continuous block. Exact set lengths, breaks and total performance time are agreed in the proposal once the event schedule is clear.
Usually, but it needs to be confirmed against your run sheet. Share the timings for speeches, awards, announcements and service; Empire will confirm workable music windows and cueing with the planner or venue before the event.
Yes. International bookings are part of Empire's work. Send the country, date and venue details so travel days, permits or visas, baggage, accommodation and local production can be scoped properly.
