Stacey & Stephen L. | November 2021

Best wedding band ever! ETA is incredible! As soon as our guests arrived at our wedding reception, ETA had them up and dancing - even before the wedding party (including the bride and groom) were officially introduced! We had guests of all ages from 1 year olds to 90-somethings and everyone was dancing all evening long. Luckily we were able to talk to all of our guests throughout the night and even to this day (a month later) they all still can't stop talking about how amazing the band was! We highly recommend them if you want an unforgettable wedding experience!

Allison & Mike R. | October 2021

ETA was definitely the highlight of our wedding!! A week later our guests are still raving about the band!! They were all so nice and extremely professional! Their songs were wonderful and they definitely picked up on the vibe of the guests! Everyone was on the dance floor all night up until the lights came on!!!! Would not recommend anyone else for your events other than ETA! Thanks for making our wedding the best party of the year!!!

Eve & Seth Z. | October 2021

BOOK THIS BAND. Every single attendee at our wedding was RAVING about how incredible the band was. My family used ETA for both of my sister' weddings and when it came to my turn, there was no question about it: it had to be ETA. I barely sat the entire evening because the band was just that incredible. And truly, everyone at the wedding said something about how great the music was at our wedding! Absolutely phenomenal!

Paige & Nikki D. | September 2021

Thank you SO much for your unbelievable performance at our wedding in September! From the ceremony to our first dance to our dances with our parents, we greatly appreciate all your effort to make the day so special and memorable. Your talent, professionalism and performance surpassed all expections. We truly enjoyed working with you! Thank you again for the best night and keeping everyone dancing!

Rebekah & Jay R. | August 2021

ETA is phenomenal! They made our wedding! Guests were so impressed that they asked for ETA's contact information to use at their own events.

Alexandra & Henry R. | August 2021

I just wanted to reach out and thank you and the band so much for such an amazing night. We got so many compliments on the band everyone was in awe of their talent and the entire wedding was dancing all night long! We had every generation out on the dance floor - the band exceeded even my wildest expectations! We are so grateful, they made the night so magical and so fun, and a great time was had by all.

Alyssa & Todd K. | July 2021

We first heard ETA at a wine bar on a Thursday night, and they had the ENTIRE place on its feet dancing! In that moment, we knew we had to book them! Even though we had to push our wedding from 2020 to 2021, thankfully they were so accommodating and available for our new date. They knew the perfect songs to play at exactly the right times, and had the most seamless transitions. Our friends and family are OBSESSED with them, and are still talking about how amazing they were six weeks later. They definitely were a huge hit and made our night fun, enjoyable and unforgettable.

Christina & Jimmy F. | June 2021

Hands down, eta music made our wedding better than we would have hoped for. From the quick and friendly planning pre-wedding with Susan to the day-of magic led by Rocky, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m a wedding planner turned bride and they were so on top of the details to make sure everything was just right for us. Our guests were dancing every second they could, eta read the crowd so well and everyone is still raving about them. Thank you so much for the epic memories!!.

Lindsey & Scott B. | June 2021

Thank you so much for making our wedding nigh truly unforgettable. Months later, and we still get compliments on how amazing you were! We are so grateful to have had you spend the night with us and celebrate our favorite day. Our wedding would not have been the same without you all! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
Sarah & Taylor J. | June 2021

Where do I begin..THANK YOU for such an amazing evening! You guys rocked the WHOLE night. I saw people on the dance floor that I never thought I would see. That first dance set set the tone for the night! The music selections were amazing and I couldn't have been happier as a bride! Thank you for making our day a success!

Megan & Doug S. | June 2021

You cannot go wrong with ETA!! They played in 2 of my uncles' weddings 20+ years ago before I was born, and I've heard rave reviews from my family my whole life. Well, 2 decades later, at my own wedding, they ROCKED. Every single member is so talented and they play such a wide range of music beautifully. They learned 3 songs that my husband and I requested for our first dance / parent dances, and knocked them all out of the park! They also know just how to get the whole party dancing and keep it going! I am a forever fan and hope they're still around for my kids' weddings :)

Jennifer & Philip P. | August 2020

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for the incredible entertainment at the wedding reception of my son Philip and new daughter in law Jennifer. With all of the venue closings, restrictions...etc due to the Covid virus, there were many changes, and a lot of stress. All of the plans were not totally finalized until only a few days before the wedding. The one thing that was for certain was ETA MUSIC would be providing the entertainment, and you FAR EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS! The song choices, and performance were fantastic. The dance floor was jammed all night, including many people who normally don't "get up and dance". From the bottom of all of our hearts, THANK YOU for being so professional, in tuned with the audience, and accommodating. You are absolutely FIVE STARS in the hearts and minds of everyone in attendance. On behalf of our family, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!! David (FOG)

Claire & Danny G. | August 2020

I add my most enthusiastic appreciation! You all proceeded beyond expectations - even in the face of a hurricane, rain, heat and humidity. You performed professionally and with smiles on your faces and energy in your duties. This will go down in history as one of the most challenging years ever for ANYTHING, let alone wedding planning. I have gratitude for your patience as patients (!) and your efforts in execution. It was a flawless evening and we will never forget that it took a village to pull it all off. My recommendations will be effusive if you ever need them! Best - Susan (MOB)

Annie & Austin S. | March 2020

Words cannot express how grateful Austin and I are to ETA. The band saved our reception! It was a roller coaster of emotion leading up to our wedding as 43 guests canceled in a few days. With all the uncertainty around us, ETA brought so much joy and great energy to our reception. Many of our guests came up to us and said “it was the best wedding band they have ever heard”. Please pass on our gratitude to them and we will recommend ETA to anyone who is looking for an incredible band!

Libby & Brian E. | December 2019

Brian and I wanted to send a quick note to say THANK YOU! to ETA for making our wedding so special and SO much fun! The string trio, bagpiper, and band were incredible - we received compliments all night! Also, you were so helpful in being our point of contact - responsive and so professional!

Mia & Grant T. | October 2019

ETA was not only a pleasure to work with, from the planning stages to the wedding itself, but their performance at our wedding was amazing! They were so easy to communicate with, helped us in choosing the best songs, and all of our guests said ETA were one of the highlights of our wedding. They really know how to read the crowd, and get everyone on the dance floor. We would strongly recommend them to everyone!!!

Bett & Harris A. | October 2019

Thank you so much for making our wedding in the Cape perfect! The dance floor was filled the entire night which is exactly what we hoped for and your team made happen. Communication from the start has and was amazing. Many guests asked for the bands information and we were thrilled to provide it.
Kelly & Brendan L. | September 2019

Spectacular job! ETA went above and beyond, we're still in awe at the number of people that danced the ENTIRE night and are still raving about our wedding band. We saw them live in Greenwich back in April and knew from that moment we were going to have an amazing wedding band. They played for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and were perfect the entire time. They listened to our requests and followed the timeline. I never felt like I needed to ask to play a specific song, they followed through everything we wanted and more! It was a great mix of classics and modern that everyone at the party could enjoy. Truly amazing, thank you!!!

Lexi & Sean B. | July 2019

ETA was amazing - leading up to the event they were incredibly communicative, and they have a great online tool to select important songs and make sure everything is available for the MC portions of the night. They were nimble when I needed an extra mic for our officiant on a holiday, and on the day the music was AMAZING - our dance floor was never empty all night! They seamlessly integrated multiple genres of music in a way that didn't feel fragmented, and played excellent music without detracting from the celebrations of the day. They'll also learn songs if they don't already know then. For a band for an event, you cannot go wrong, and they were more than worth the investment. Hire them!

Noel & Page R. | June 2019

The ETA Band was amazing!!! So many of our guests are still raving about them! They really brought such good energy to the dance floor! They checked in with me during the beginning of the wedding to confirm details, and I had total trust and confidence in them throughout the night! I hope to see them play again soon!

Kristin & Alex K. | June 2019

The band was out of this world! Everyone LOVED them, they knew just what to play and they were great musicians. Caroline wants them for her wedding! My (basically Italian dancing) family loved them, and the others who don’t normally dance actually got up. It’s a reminder that wonderful music is such an important part of the wedding celebration. Thank you thank you! Madeline (MOB)

Christina & Tony M. | December 2018

Tony and I can’t thank ETA enough for making our Wedding Day incredible! The one thing that I was set on for our wedding was a live band and ETA exceeded expectations. Everyone is still talking about our NYE wedding and how much the band made the night even more memorable. The band had the crowd dancing from the first dance and we didn’t stop all night! Thank you for making this such an easy process for us!!!

Nicole & Robin C. | October 2018

Our review is simple...ETA was OUTSTANDING. From the very beginning of this process, they were organized and on top of it and I knew my wedding was in good hands. I had chosen maybe 10 songs that I knew we wanted to hear then let them run with the rest. I was lucky enough to get to chat with most of the band members and they are just as kind and they are talented. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end. Each song got people more and more excited. I really felt like the entire set list was catered to my wedding. We could have dropped our guests in the middle of a field with just booze, pizzas and ETA playing and our wedding still would have been a hit. Best choice we made for our wedding.

Dana & Jordan M. | October 2018

My husband's one request was a live band for our wedding. He spent hours listening to different bands online, since we live out of state. When I say that he found the perfect band for our special day, I'm not exaggerating. ETA was so easy to work with from day 1. Susan, the manager, is extremely responsive and great with providing recommendations. We had keyboard at our ceremony, guitar for cocktail hour, and added a trumpet player to the normal group for our reception. I don't regret any $$ spent. Each member was well-prepared, professional, and extremely talented. Most importantly, they had all of our guests dancing ALL night long. No one wanted the night to end. Do it already, book ETA before you miss out!!

Jennifer & Anders R. | October 2018

Thank you for all of your help making everything perfect for our wedding! The band was AMAZING. I couldn't have asked for anything more! Everything turned out exactly as I had hoped and I have received so many compliments on how good the band was. We danced from the moment the reception started right up until the very last song and I loved every second of it! Thank you again!
Cassandra & Casey O. | October 2018

Just wanted to thank you and the band for everything. It was an AWESOME night and I had the best time. EVERYONE kept telling me how great they were. Thanks again for everything - we'll be passing on the word about ETA!!!

Julie & Ben A. | September 2018

If you are looking for a wedding band (or music for any event), you should absolutely hire ETA! They made our wedding day amazing from the ceremony music, cocktail hour and reception. We were given ETA's information from our venue and went to see them perform at a wine bar. We were blown away by the talent of all the singers and band members as well as their ability to cover a wide variety of genres and type of music. We have received so many compliments on the wedding day and since about how great our band was and that they were the best wedding band our guests had seen. They are very easy to work with and always respond right away to any inquiries or requests. They were great at reading the audience and picking the music that should be played. I would highly recommend ETA for any event!

Kelsey & Robert I. | August 2018

Thank you for playing at our wedding! The band was AWESOME -- so much energy, talent, and professionalism. All of our guests are talking about how great the music was. Susan was so helpful throughout the process and gave us great advice for the flow of the reception. I would be happy to recommend Eta to other people.

Jackie & Clifton F. | August 2018

My wife and I cannot recommend ETA Music enough. When we were first planning our wedding, I was skeptical a live band was even the best way to go. Why pay money for a band when we can just throw on some recorded music? Easy, right? I was very, very wrong. First off, the band is genuinely very good. With a variety of vocalists and a perfectly calibrated band, they are able to nail a huge range of great songs. These are covers you would actually choose to listen to later. But it’s the way that they control the flow of the music during the reception that makes them really special. They just seem to instinctively know what people want to listen to. People I’ve never seen dance in my life were up there moving like crazy the whole night. I didn’t even think I like dancing, but we all just let go and had a blast. Plus, they know when to bring it down a notch or even just roll right into another song to keep people on the floor. They were also completely flexible and adept at helping us with some specific things we wanted. My wife and I wanted a particular song converted into our processional, and we just sort of sent them the MP3 and an idea of what we wanted. With two instruments, they nailed it and it sounded perfect. And for a couple of specific dances we wanted some prerecorded music and they fully integrated these without any problems whatsoever. Additionally, they were just exceptionally friendly and nice and we really felt like they were a *part* of our wedding, rather than just some band we hired to play in the background. We were actually disappointed when we realized it was over and they were packing up. I can’t recommend these guys enough.

Katie & Ben S. | August 2018

ETA Music was amazing! We started our wedding day with a pianist at the ceremony and then a pianist and saxophone player at the cocktail hour, which really set the mood for the rest of the night. Then the reception band was phenomenal! They were so friendly and really read our guests well. They played an awesome mix of songs and had everyone out on the dance floor all night long! They also took the time to learn our first dance song and nailed it. Almost everyone commented on how wonderful the band was. They really made our wedding day unforgettable! I would highly recommend!

Katie & Justin B. | May 2018

ETA band is amazing!! Your level of talent and energy was awesome – we loved seeing everyone dancing the whole night long. We received so many compliments from guests who felt you were the best band they had seen play at a wedding and we could not agree more! THANK YOU for making our wedding the best day ever! We will always recommend ETA to anyone looking for a band and secretly hope you will be playing at all weddings we attend!

Kathryn & Sean H. | October 2017

You are AWESOME!! Sean and I want to say a huge THANK YOU for making our wedding so perfect! Our friends and family continue to stress how amazing our band was - and we agree!! Never would I have imagined all our guests to be dancing, and you guys did it!! We could not have asked for better entertainment. My cousin came up to me after “Can’t Stop The Feeling” saying you were better than JT!! We will be recommending you to friends and family! xoxox
Tia & Jeff C. | September 2017

I don't think we can sufficiently communicate how great ETA Music was. They MADE our wedding! Every single song they played kept our guests on the dance floor. It was a full-on dance party, which is exactly what we wanted. The vibe was so happy and fun and they ROCKED it. No one can stop talking about how great they were. I think their talent was evidenced by the fact that there was no room on the dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG!! Thank you so much. It was THE BEST!!!

Stephanie & Todd M. | September 2017

To say that ETA was great at our celebration would be a under statement... they were awesome. We started during cocktails with a saxophone and piano players. The music was subtle to not interfere with cocktail discussions, but complimented our mood. This was the start of a great musical night. When ready, we kicked off the main band for a first dance. The song we chose was learned by the band and sounded like it was the artist on the stage. Then we had 3 hours of various music to match the swing of the people. All the songs we chose were played and then complimented by more music. The dance floor was never empty. Unlike other events I have been at, almost everyone stayed to the end. We also opted to add the female singer, a saxophone, and trumpet. Not required; but really took the party to the next level. Bottom line is if you are looking for a band, close your eyes and book ETA. Any other outfit will fall flat to this band.

Anna & Philip S. | September 2017

ETA is the best wedding band ever, hands down. Our guests never left the dance floor. The music was simply sensational. They were on time, courteous, fun, and seemed to enjoy themselves which only makes their act better. All 180 of our guests said they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. And our guests are no slouches. They’ve been around the dance floor a few times and know a top rate band when they hear one. Everyone from Susan, the manager, to Rocco, to all the band members, everyone one was a star. They killed it! Most people will tell you a good wedding has two main components: a good bar and a good band. ETA made this very special day even more so with their high octane level of energy, singing and playing. My feet are still dancing! No one sat down for dessert. I think everyone lost weight because they were dancing so hard. Gail K. (MOB)

Dayna & Michael J. | August 2017

Thank you so much for doing an absolutely amazing job on our wedding day at Guilford Yacht Club. You guys are so talented and kept the energy going the whole night. Every one I talked to thought that you were the best band/entertainment they had ever seen at a wedding! We truly appreciate everything you did to make the night so fun for everyone! All our best.

Brittany & Michael H. | June 2017

Mike and I wanted to thank you and the band for being absolutely wonderful last Friday night! We had the time of our lives and our guests have been raving about how incredible the band was! Every single song was perfect -- my dress even ripped from dancing and I couldn't have cared less! We're truly thrilled and are looking forward to recommending ETA to our friends!! :) Thank you!

Jen & Joel H. | May 2017

Look no further, if you want the type of wedding where your guests are only seated when they’re eating, ETA is the band for you. ETA helped to make our wedding the most unforgettable, amazing party we’ve ever been to. We used ETA for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception music and could not have been more thrilled and impressed. We picked a song for our first dance that ETA didn’t know, and they learned it and performed it perfectly. Adding a horn to the band for the reception was so worth it, it really made such a difference. Susan was wonderful to work with and made the booking and planning process so easy. Almost a month later, and our guests are still commenting on how amazing ETA was. The only negative was the blisters my husband got from dancing so hard the entire night:)

Sarah & Robert M. | May 2017

We used ETA Music for our wedding and they were AMAZING! It's been over a month and we are still getting compliments on the band and people asking for their name. Everyone had a wonderful time dancing, and I was so impressed that they learned two songs just for us (even though you're supposed to ask them in advance but I messed up and only asked them the week of -- they STILL learned them and ROCKED!) Absolutely wonderful band, they get everyone out on the dance floor!
Jacki & Brad A. | May 2017

We would just like to send a very quick note thanking you for Sunday. The band was beyond amazing, everyone was raving about them, and they really got people up on to the dance floor. You guys helped bring our dream wedding to reality - thank you!! We have been re-living the wedding in our minds on our way to our honeymoon, and we just needed to let you know how greatful we are for the spectacular performance.

Alyssa & Matt R. | October 2016

ETA made our wedding the most unforgettable experience, the whole bridal party had to wait to walk into the reception because everyone-EVERYONE was dancing and we couldn’t get them to take their seats. Throughout the whole night guests were coming up to me saying how incredible the band was and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We even joked about spending so much on food because we couldn’t get anyone into their seats to eat.They worked the crowd, got everyone out of their seats, and chose the most perfect flow of songs. It would have been a very different experience if ETA was not the entertainment at our wedding.

Kaitlin & Nick H. | October 2016

ETA Music is hands down the BEST band I have ever seen/heard!!! I got married almost three months ago and I still get compliments on how amazing the band at my wedding was--ETA is phenomenal!!! A colleague of mine recently commented on my wedding and how wonderful ETA was, he said: "your dance floor was what everyone wishes for in a wedding, it was packed the entire night!" I highly recommend ETA- they play fantastic music from a variety of genres, and keep your guests dancing all night! It was a pleasure to work with them and I look forward to seeing them live in CT soon!! Do yourself a favor and hire ETA for your wedding- it will be the easiest and best decision you make!!

Alexis & Pat K. | October 2016

We had high hopes for your music at our wedding, but you blew away our expectations! You were amazing and we all had so much fun! I spent almost the whole reception dancing! Thank you for setting the party vibe for our big day, we feel so lucky to have worked with you. And Susan, thanks for all your help working with us!

Laura & Peter C. | October 2016

You can stop searching because you have found your wedding band! My husband and I had the most amazing time at our wedding reception and that was largely due to ETA. They are incredibly talented and did such an amazing job! We were blown away! All of our guests were up and dancing all night long! I don't think my photographer was able to take table pictures because everyone was out on the dance floor! We especially loved the female lead vocal. Her rendition of of wedding song brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it! Rocco and Susan were an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Kaya & Sam K. | September 2016

eta music was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding in September. From the ease of communication with Susan a year before our wedding to the execution on our wedding day, eta music delivered a performance that our friends and family can't stop talking about. The band absolutely made our wedding unforgettable. The music selections were exactly what we wanted. The horn section really added a special element and the talent of the musicians and vocalists is outstanding. Every detail we described to Susan was flawlessly executed. You set the bar for all wedding bands. Thank you so much, eta, for making our wedding the most fun and special day of our life.
Paula & Garrett C. | September 2016

Have you ever been to a wedding where the party starts before dinner is served, everyone is up & dancing, and they have to make an announcement for everyone to sit down for the meal? Well thanks to ETA Music that was the kickoff of our wedding reception and it was epic!!! They brought so much amazing energy to the room and truly got the party going! We got so much positive feedback from our guests about how much they LOVED the band! Susan, the band manager was incredible to work with - she calmed my nerves, offered suggestions, and was just so helpful! The band learned our first dance song and it was a perfect rendition:) Whatmore, they let my brother, who is a musician, join in and play his trumpet during the reception which was so special! Thank you to all of the members of the band who played during the ceremony as well as the reception and again to Susan for all of her help. We could not have made a better choice!

Jena & Brian B. | September 2016

Music was one of the most important things to us for our wedding and ETA did not disappoint! The members are extremely talented musicians and were professional before, during, and after the reception. The definitely know how to keep a crowd on the dance floor! I heard from many guests how surprised they were at the amount of people on the dance floor before dinner was even served. One of my vendors actually told me that he has been in the sound business for 30 years and ETA was one of the best wedding bands he’s ever heard. We highly recommend ETA and would use them again in a heartbeat!

Jennifer & Matthew D. | August 2016

We were thrilled with ETA's performance at our wedding in August 2016. Every song that ETA played had people on the dance floor all night. The selection was just fantastic, and the band sounded great. They learned a song for the Father Daughter dance and it brought tears to my eyes since it sounded so beautiful. They also did a great job of keeping a nice flow to the evening. We wanted to get the dancing started early and ETA delivered on that. I have been to 3 weddings since ours and at every one someone remarked how our band was the best they have ever heard. I hope I get invited to a wedding that ETA plays at just to hear them again! Finally, ETA was really easy to work with during the planning process. Susan was very responsive and helpful. Their online planner really helped us think about and organize our night. I highly recommend ETA and do not think I've ever found a better wedding band.

Lauren & Andrew G. | August 2016

I wanted to write and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the best day of our lives. We didn't stop dancing the entire time and they got EVERYONE on the dance floor. Even thought I have seen you guys numerous times, I am continually amazed at how they are able to get the party started. Everyone is still ranting and raving about the band and how they were the best "wedding band" they have ever seen. Words can not describe how happy we are, we keep reliving in every day and cherishing all of the memories. Thank you for everything, and we hope to see you soon!

Barry & Shari Cash. | August 2016

We wanted to tell you how much we appreciate the phenomenal performance that your band provided. When we first spoke to you, our primary request was that our wedding was a non stop party. We arranged the food to be available as stations with plenty of choices, all night in another room so guests could eat when they wanted, as many time as they wanted / and so the party wasn't stopped for dinner courses. The band kept the party alive all night - in confident we could have kept going for several hours other than people were worn out with tired feet from dancing all night. We appreciate your largely staying within the selection of music genres and artists we requested. I think I recognized almost every song! And thank you so much for learning our wedding song - "Just you and me" by Chicago. When we danced to that song, we really felt like Chicago was performing. It was an amazing rendition - and the brass that we added to the band made all the difference!Every musician was spectacular - and the combination of the 9 pieces made for just a magical performance. So many guests commented that night and after about how great the band was. You truly lived up to everything we asked for. Thank you so much!

Bernadette & David S. | August 2016

These guys were seriously amazing! They had the dance floor filled before we even sat down for salad!! We had a military ceremony at the beginning of our reception and they executed the songs (and pauses for silence) perfectly. Planning with them was super easy with their online portal and immediate response rate to emails and phone calls. Everyone is still asking about them, and we think they absolutely made the wedding. Coming from a family of professional musicians, everyone was seriously impressed! Would recommend them for any wedding or event looking for the best quality band they can find!
Natalie & Gareth C. | June 2016

ETA is absolutely the best wedding band! Leading up to the wedding day, Susan and the band were so easy to work with and were able to accommodate our requests so easily. ETA set up a microphone for the ceremony and cued up our music exactly the way we wanted it for our special group dance. Everything was taken care of, and we didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day. The guitarist serenaded our guests during cocktail hour. The keyboard player provided elegant accompaniment as we walked down the aisle during the ceremony. And the full band totally rocked the reception!! Our guests continually tell us that our wedding was the most fun wedding they've been to. The ETA band had our guests dancing all night - the dance floor was never empty! Their song selection ranged from old favorites to today's current hits, appealing to all ages.We could not have asked for a better band on our special day! Thank you ETA!!

Kaylie & Jeff L. | May 2016

Wow, thank you SO MUCH for making our wedding so fantastic. ETA was incredible. The band members were so flexible and nice, and they kept the party going at such high energy! Everyone I've talked to said it was the best wedding they have ever been to (no joke) and that's in LARGE part because of the band. Also, the Shout version they played was exactly what my husband wanted and probably even better. Thank you!! And the guitar player at our rehearsal dinner was perfect. He knew exactly what to play to keep it fun but also light Thank you again for everything.

Jackie & Jerry M. | September 2015

ETA played at our wedding and they ROCKED THE HOUSE - people are still calling me 3 weeks later to rave about them.... the dance floor was PACKED all night long... they really know how to work the crowd. we did not give them a playlist; we just let them lead the show and they knew just what songs to play - people even asked "did they even stop to take a bathroom break" they played all night long... cannot say enough amazing things about this band... but thank you, ETA for making my wedding one of the best people have ever been to!

Allison & Alex K. | September 2015

Absolutely amazing! This is the third family wedding ETA has been at and they seem to out do themselves each time. Our guests are still raving about how awesome the band was. The band learned our first dance song and made sure the guests were on the dance floor the entire night. Susan was a pleasure to work with and so responsive, coordinating our ceremony, cocktail and reception music. Absolutely recommend booking ETA - make sure ETA is available before picking your wedding date!

Samantha & Ben T. | September 2015

I work in the music industry and my (now) husband is a huge music fan so our guests expected a lot from our music offering... and ETA delivered! I recall many moments throughout our wedding when i turned around to give them a thumbs up because the dance floor was packed and they sounded great! We are still getting compliments of 'Best wedding band ever!' - and some friends have asked to book them for their own events. Susan and Rocky were incredibly accommodating to our many requests of 'does the band play this song...can they play this song....'. Not only did they sound fantastic (we used a 10 member band) but they also provided all audio equipment for our rabbi, and played for our ceremony and cocktail hour - and the price was not crazy! Anyone who gets ETA is sure to have a fantastic music experience!

Madeline & Doug P. | September 2015

Choosing ETA was the first and best decision we made in our wedding planning! We had heard such great things from friends and family who had been to weddings with ETA before that we knew we had to lock them up early. They did not disappoint! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. ETA was also incredibly professional and organized, and a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. Their online planner made choosing songs and setting up logistics simple. Thank you ETA!

Margy & Henry B. | September 2015

We wanted to reach out to you as soon as possible to let you know what an amazing band ETA is! The band had our guests on their feet from start to finish and all of them were inquiring as to who ETA was and where they were from! We could not have been more pleased with the music ETA chose to play and with the enthusiasm and professionalism they exude! Please thank every member of the band for us and let them know that they absolutely made the weekend. We are so pleased ETA was available and appreciate very much their making the weekend memorable. Thank you and the band so very much!

Rebecca & Kyle D. | July 2015

When my husband and I started our research into hiring a band for our wedding, we very quickly settled on ETA. Their music samples immediately stood out from the rest and then once we read their reviews, we knew we made the right decision! All of ETA’s rave reviews are spot on—they are a group of incredible musicians who completely deliver on their promise to keep your guests dancing the whole night. Susan was an absolute delight to work with—she was very responsive to emails and phone calls and was incredibly thoughtful in helping arrange the sequence of events for our reception. One of our parent dances was particularly sentimental in nature and she was so kind and compassionate in planning this part of the reception with us. ETA is incredibly professional and, aside from providing them with some names and information, they take care of everything themselves! I am a bit of a control freak and so, when Susan said they wouldn’t need a list of requested songs (minus one or two essentials), I was a little nervous. But my husband and I left everything in their hands and we couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! Our guests ranged in age from 5 to 91 years old and every age in between, and EVERY SINGLE guest (especially those who are professional musicians themselves) loved the music selections. They played such a great variety of songs and put together an incredible medley for our “last dance”—it was amazing. We wanted our reception to be a dance party from start to finish and to meet the musical tastes of all of our guests and ETA did just that. I still don’t understand how they manage to please a room of such diverse tastes but all that matters is that they do! Trust me, you will be so thankful and happy if you book them for your wedding. Having attended many other weddings as a guest I can say with full confidence that absolutely no one else compares!
Daniella & Jonathan B. | July 2015

Incredible Wedding Band!!! ETA put on an amazing show at our wedding! The performers were very talented, professional, and a fun time!! I was able to attend two performances at local restaurants before our wedding day and was super impressed. They were very helpful with music selections and met all of our requests. I highly recommend them for your big day!!

Elizabeth & Ryan J. | July 2015

You won't regret choosing ETA - everyone at my wedding was on the dance floor the whole time, and couldn't stop talking about the band. They even brought down the house at the end with our last-minute request for "Me and Mrs Jones", which they hadn't played in years but still nailed. Absolutely great wedding band for music of all genres for all generations.

Amanda & Ian K. | May 2015

All we can say is AMAZING!!! The music and feel from the whole band made our guests and us so comfortable and relaxed to have a good time at the wedding! There was no stress or pressure on how everything flowed, from the ceremony to the reception and even the first dance; we were blown away at how perfectly it worked together! Susan - thank you for all the emails and phone calls and decisions with all the details! You made the process carefree and easy! You knew exactly how we wanted the day to go, and made that happen in working with the band! Our guests could not stop talking about you all and we just want to thank you again for making it the best day ever!!

Mr. & Mrs. Peter S. | May 2015

Firstly, we wanted to thank you for your professionalism throughout the entire process. Regarding you performance, enough can’t be said on how incredibly awesome it truly was. Not once were there any less than 50 people on the dance floor at any given time…Well, not counting the first couples’s dance :-) The night was electric and magical and certainly nothing we could have anticipated. We were both blown away, and that can be confirmed based on all the feedback our guests were more than willing to provide. Great Job!

Angela & Corey I. | May 2015

What a wedding!!! The harpist was beautiful for the ceremony in the walled garden, the jazz combo perfect for cocktails on the terrace and the BAND!!! Exactly what we hoped for! Our guests were lining the dance floor waiting to get out there during the bride and groom’s first dance and dances with the parents. You could feel the energy in the room…everyone was dying to start dancing. There was no lead in time. Everyone began dancing immediately and never stopped! Your musicians kept us going all night long and everyone loved how they moved from one song into the next without even a pause. Song choices were excellent..a great range of music for all ages (as the 90 year old grandmothers proved!!). The music, in my mind, is the most important part of a wedding. I didn’t want a band that was going to talk a lot, and leave you standing awkwardly on the floor waiting for the next song to start. ETA was amazing! They really know how to keep a crowd dancing. Everyone had a blast and loved them!! I just can’t say enough. At around 10:30 I spoke with the groom and we agreed everyone was having too good a time to leave. I think they would have stayed another 3 hours dancing. No one wanted to get on the shuttles to leave :) it was just so much fun. EVERYONE was dancing. Everyone was (and still is!) raving about the music. You exceeded my expectations and I can’t thank you all enough for being so fantastic!! If you ever need a recommendation, it would be a great pleasure to let anyone know that they should use ETA if they want a party that no one will ever forget! Thank you to every one of you!

Trisha & Jeff | April 2015

There is not a moment that has gone by that we do not think back to our wedding day and not smile! We had an absolute blast and that is a tribute to ETA music. We knew the band would be great but they exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for helping our wedding day be magical and one where our guests walked away remembering the fun times had by all. Thank you.
Katie & Ross V. | December 2014

We love music, love to dance and sought a band that was professional, engaging, sophisticated and of course, musically talented. ETA delivered above and beyond in all areas. This group truly is the premier wedding band in Connecticut. Their management is responsive, accommodating and offers excellent advice on how to best structure your evening including cocktail hour, dances, intros gag of the wedding party, breaks and the end of the night finale. Their musicians were a pleasure to work with and truly masters at their craft. My husband and I were repeatedly struck by their seamless transitions from song to song and believe this contributed to the constant and energetic presence of our guests on the dance floor. Many of our guests were musical performers and ETA managed to wow them. You will not regret your decision.

Rosa & Irv A. | November 2014

I am 100% certain that there is not a better wedding band in the tri state area. We spent a lot of time deciding on the perfect band, as my parents are pretty traditional but our friends love to party. We were looking for a band that would get everyone on the dance floor and ETA absolutely delivered. Their talent,song choices, song transitions, energy… just everything was amazing. They played continuously and the dance floor was packed all night. Throughout the night so many of our guests asked us who the band was and how we found them and we believe that is a true testament to how wonderful this band is. I would whole heartedly recommend ETA to anyone!

Trish & Jon G. | November 2014

We can’t thank you enough for performing at our wedding reception in September. You truly made it a night to remember. The dance floor was full from the first song to the last and that is just what we wanted. All of our guests have said what a great time they had and how much they enjoyed the music (they want your info for their weddings and they are not even engaged!). Thank you for making it more than we could have ever asked for.

Melissa & Joshua F. | November 2014

I wanted to let you know that we were absolutely thrilled with ETA at our wedding! So many guests kept coming up to us during the night and asking, “where did you find this band? they are amazing!” The band played so many of the songs that we had requested and the dance floor was never empty. The musicians were so professional and talented. We will recommend ETA to friends and family in the future! Thank you for all your hard work. It all paid off and we are so happy with the music at our wedding.

Becca & Bill F. | June 2014

My husband and I first discovered ETA at a local bar and asked for their business card before we were even engaged yet! We were on the fence about whether to hire a DJ instead of a band for our wedding to keep costs down. It turns out that ETA was the best money spent for our wedding day HANDS DOWN. They play a whole range of music from 70s through today and they sound incredible. People were on the dance floor before the bridal party was even announced into the room! I can’t even count how many people asked for the band’s name after the wedding. We have referred several people to them. We continue to keep an eye on their live performance schedule and we go see them play at the bar where we discovered them as often as we can. Long story short, you cannot go wrong with ETA.

Jenn & Dan N. | January 2014

We love music, love to dance and sought a band that was professional, engaging, sophisticated and of course, musically talented. ETA delivered above and beyond in all areas.

My husband and I were repeatedly struck by their seamless transitions from song to song and believe this contributed to the constant and energetic presence of our guests on the dance floor. Many of our guests were musical performers and ETA managed to wow them. One of the most frequently received pieces of feedback from our wedding guests is the quality of the band. If you are a music lover and want to offer your guests something incredibly special, choose ETA. You will not regret your decision.

Nicole & Chris P. | October 2013

I can’t thank ETA enough for the best wedding ever! They did such an outstanding job (as we had expected) that we didn’t want the party to end! Susan was amazing in helping us get prepared and stay organized leading up to the wedding…everyone was exceptionally professional and we really appreciate it. Great vendors make great weddings and although I may be biased I think mine was phenomenal in a large part due to the music and atmosphere created by ETA! Everyone that looks at my pictures from the night says “wow everyone was dancing you must have had an amazing band”…I say YES I DID!
Michele & Jon M. | June 2013

I just wanted to extend an enormous thank you to ETA for the best entertainment for our wedding. They were the best! It was just what we had hoped for and more! Everyone had a blast and the dance floor was full all night long. They did a perfect job covering our wedding song, “Fake Empire,” which we have heard from friends in a band is not an easy song..and they nailed it! “Loving You”was also a huge hit! And my father/bride dance was just perfect! The entire process working with ETA was flawless. It was a pleasure.

Lindsey & James R. | July 2012

First, let me say that we were not going to have a band at our reception… Then we heard ETA at The Loft in South Norwalk… We knew right then we had to have ETA at our reception… Outstanding would be the understatement of the century to describe the performance of ETA at our reception… All our guests keep asking about the band and raving about their performance… We would highly recommend them to anyone for a wedding!

Taylor & Ryan L. | September 2011

I want to thank you first for being so helpful in organizing ETA for our wedding. You were so professional and organized, and made booking the band incredibly easy and fun! ETA was incredible ~ surpassed everyone’s expectations. Our guests danced all night and still, 3 months later, people cannot stop talking about how fun the band was. ETA helped shape the night, and it will be a night that we will never forget. Thank you for being so great ~ we look forward to seeing you play in Fairfield County! My Dad even requested the band to learn a song the week before and they performed it perfectly ~ he was thrilled!! Thank you

Britton & Stokes C. | September 2011

The band did such an amazing job! They were truly great! They could not have been more professional, entertaining or talented. Everyone was up on the dance floor. The bagpiper you arranged was also awesome, Stokes cried when he heard him start to play. ETA made our wedding day! Thanks for everything.

Kristie & Sam R. | May 2011

Amazing band, cannot beat them!!! When we got engaged, my father felt very strongly that we should have a band play during our reception. We had a hard time finding a band that we loved – until a friend told us about ETA. We check them out live one night in Norwalk, CT and there was no second guessing. ETA is amazing!!! They rock the crowd like no other. Almost 100% of our guests were up and dancing all night! They play a huge variety of songs. You can customize the songs that they play but they read the crowd so well, it’s really not worth picking every song for them to play. They were a joy to work with; Susan is super responsive and always got back to me quickly. Friends of ours had them play at their wedding 3 months later and my husband’s stepbrother is now using them at their wedding! They are really amazing. If you are looking for a top notch band then you have found them!

Donna & Brad T. | May 2011

The band rocked! All of our guests had a simply awesome evening at Salt Water Farm Vineyard in Stonington dancing the night away to ETA. At one point one of our guests said that they thought no more than 10 people were sitting when the band was playing. Everyone was on the dance floor! Even before dinner many of our guests were dancing. The playlist went from Tony Bennett to Bon Jovi … how cool is that. When we first talked about music for our daughter’s wedding it was her dad that said, we have to have a band. Kristie and Sam and some of their friends went to hear the band last year and just loved them. After listening to the on-line songs, we booked ETA.Thank you, thank you! You are the BEST.

Coleen M. | 2010

We had the 9 piece for the reception. Truly everyone danced all night. We also used them for the ceremony which was a 3 piece act of violin, cello and flute. During the cocktail hour we had them provide jazz with sax and piano. We were married at the Ritz-Carlton-Westchester. On our wedding day the band performed beyond amazing!!!! I wouldn’t second guess yourself. They book up quickly. Request a copy of their demo CD and visit their website. Everything about my wedding was perfect!!!! I just enjoyed the day totally. Hire ETA and you will too!!!!!!

Anne & JG | 2010

the band was fabulous – we had so many people comment on how great the music was so I just wanted to pass this along. The music was great and everyone danced all night! Thank you so much! We will be sure to recommend ETA in the future! We are looking forward to hearing you again! Thanks for all of your help!

Paula G. | 2010

Thanks to the band, our wedding reception on June 26th was the best party ever! The guests were ready for more dancing when the clock struck 11:00pm so the band kept everyone happy with another 1/2 hour of dancing music. Thank you sooooo much for the fabulous entertainment and despite the fact that there is no one else in our family to marry, we will find a reason to book you for another party!!

Chris & Sarah | 2010

We all had the most amazing evening at Chris and Sarah’s wedding on Saturday. Your band was absolutely wonderful in every way – great music, very congenial group of musicians, accommodating, and incredibly energetic! All age groups were represented on the dance floor including our 7-year-old grandson, who dislikes dancing and would not even approach the dance floor at the last wedding we attended. He wasso happy to join all the other guests in the spirit of merriment that prevailed.

Esther & Bob D. | 2010

We thank you so very much for all that you did, including having to contend with weather and arrangement/timing issues. All matters were handled with the highest level of professionalism, and the band received many, many compliments from guests. You are all wonderful people as well as gifted musicians, and played a very large role in creating a truly memorable wedding reception. With gratitude and all good wishes

Courtnee L. | 2010

ETA was the best band…they came highly recommended from family members who already used them. We did not want to go with anyone else and were fortunate enough to have them at our wedding. We could not have asked for a better band to “rock the house” at our wedding.

Ron M. | 2010

Hi folks! You made the wedding! “Awesome” in the true sense of the word! Got it going from beginning and kept everyone moving. It must be rewarding to you to have such a positive response to your performances.You probably don’t need us, but don’t hesitate to use us for reference—–me or Danny/Julie. Our son may be next—–and you will be our first choice—would even adjust a date to make it all work. Many Thanks to all of you—please pass the word.
Elysa | 2010

I wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how wonderful the band was. We had such a great time, they were fabulous and I can’t tell you how much positive feedback I received. My grandmother greatly appreciated Besame Mucho, though she apparently took the microphone away and started singing herself :) Thank you again and my friends I will be sure to go and see the band at Harry’s.

Erin & Christopher M. | 2010

Thank you so much for playing our wedding on Saturday. You guys are amazing. The dance floor was packed the entire time. Brides: If you are thinking about booking ETA for your wedding – do it! You won’t regret it!!

Erin M. | 2009

ETA was highly recommended but you still exceeded our expectations. Not only was the music and service exceptional, but the band members were all incredibly friendly and kind. Thank you so much.

Melissa & Dennis L. | 2009

Please tell the band that we loved the job they did at our wedding. Every song they played was perfect. Everyone kept commenting on how wonderful they were. Dennis and I can’t stop saying how much we loved them and how professional they were. ETA really helped make our day special and one that we will never forget! Thanks!

Jessie S. | 2009

I wanted to let you know how GREAT the band was at our wedding! I have never had so much fun at a wedding before, and the music was absolutely spectacular. All of our guests were commenting on how superb the music was! I can’t thank you enough for helping make our wedding so fun and memorable! Thanks again!

Autumn Photography | 2009

The reception was so much fun thanks to the wonderful ETA band who kept the party going strong until the very last song. They were AMAZING and I would very strongly reccomend them to anyone looking for a band.

Lizzie | 2009

The band was AMAZING last night!! Everyone kept saying how much fun they had and we all danced the night away. A big thank you to you.

Kristin & Mark | 2009

Kristin and I would like to thank you and ETA for helping make last night so much fun. The band was absolutely phenomenal, and you have all been a complete joy to work with. The band drew raves from all of our guests last night!! Complete professionals! You have our guarentee that at any available opportunity, we will make sure to recommend ETA Music to whoever needs. Thanks!

Kellie & Nick C. | 2009

We just wanted to reach out to you and thank you again for totally exceeding our expectations at our wedding at Patriot Hills. You were all awesome and we had the most amazing time ever at our wedding singing and dancing the night away. Our guests were totally blown away by your nonstop performance and the energy and music you brought to our party and it showed by how much fun everyone was having all night long- we feel that you made our wedding! Thank you so much!

Jim B. | 2009

Countless guests commented on how great the band was but the best was seeing everyone dance the night away. Thank so much!

Jean & Chris R. | 2008

Sensational! You did such a fabulous job at our wedding. I can’t begin to tell you how many people asked about the band. I’m really at a loss for words to express my gratitude. None could every top you- ever. Can you play at our 25th anniversary? Thank you for being a part of our wedding.

Silke & Jay S. | 2008

We just wanted to thank all of you for playing a professional and important role in making our wedding truly spectacular. Jay and I had an amazing time and it certainly could not have happened without all of you! We are receiving rave reviews, left and right. “Best wedding band I’ve ever heard” was said several times… we had so much fun dancing- you guys are so versatile and talented!
