We always aim to propose an energic show, with good humour and to make the guests dance.
We can DJ between and after our live sets if required.

"Rock Empire recently performed at our wedding and they were fantastic. People are still talking, a few weeks later, about how good they were. All members of the band are very talented and they had everyone dancing for the night. Great set list and they were great interacting with the guests. They also learnt our first song in a very short time and did a great version of it. They made our first dance very special.
Jerome was also brilliant and very professional to deal with around the organisation and timings on the day. Very quick to reply to messages and extremely helpful throughout. I cannot recommend Rock Empire enough."
"What to say about Rock Empire. You guys made our wedding incredible from start to finish and you had everyone on the dance floor all night. Jerome was an absolute pleasure to deal with and even arrived early so we could use his PA system during the speeches. In addition to this, he allowed us to use his DJ equipment once the band had finished. We thank you so much for this. This band were the talk of our wedding! You guys are amazing! My advice to anyone planning a wedding in France is to get these guys booked asap."
"We had Rock Empire for our drinks reception and our evening party. They were outstanding. They gauged the mood perfectly during both sections. The drinks reception was beautiful vocals and then they played right through the whole evening and kept everyone dancing all night. Would highly recommend and if we renew our vows they will be first on our list!"
"Rock Empire absolutely rocked it!!!! Great band with a fabulous set list and they had the crowd dancing all night! We are a wedding venue so see many bands but would totally recommend them and book again. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks so much guys and hopefully à bientôt 😊"
