We now play mostly as a five-piece band, performing more jazzy and soul songs for the ceremonies, and more pop & rock dance music for the evenings.

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.

We always come to the venue with our own equipment (PA system, lights, etc).

We always agree to learn songs for the first dance, for example.

"Rock Empire were brilliant! They got the party going and kept people on the dance floor all night at our wedding. Jerome was great to communicate with in the lead up, very responsive and the guys were laid back on the day and knew exactly what they were doing which worked perfectly."

"Rock Empire performed at our pre wedding evening. They are super friendly the band and singer were outstanding and performed all the songs we wanted. They will cover most things. Really upbeat and also let the groom and mother in law on the mic. An absolutely amazing night and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks for making our evening so special, Sophie & Chris."

"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."

"Where to begin... WOW! What a great band, what amazing people! We are over the moon that Rock Empire were part of our special day. From the moment they started playing, our family and friends did not leave the dance floor and they were the talk of the night. Even the next day, our guests were still talking about how great the band were, how there was something for everyone and how surprised we all were at some people who stayed on the dance floor all night!! Jerome's communication from the moment we booked was excellent and not only did they learn our first dance, they even learnt a couple of extra songs which meant the world to us and our guests! A really special touch and memories we will cherish forever! The band's repertoire has something for everyone, from older classics to new hits, they really know their stuff, and they were brilliant at gauging the vibe in the room (the vibe was on a high all night long!) They were super flexible with timings and I couldn't recommend them more!! Extremely talented musicians, wonderful people and the perfect band to get, and keep your wedding party going! Thank you so much for making our wedding evening so perfect! K&J."

"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!"

"Des reprises qui changent de l'ordinaire. On ne reconnais pas toujours la chanson dès la première note, ils y mettent leur grain de sel quoi! Le résultat est vraiment juste et parfait, on en oublie l'original parfois c'est bluffant... on se laisse porter par leur style qui est carrément Rock and Pop. Et quand on en redemande ils répondent présents. Vivement le prochain concert."

"Rock Empire were truly FANTASTIC! Without doubt one of the highlights of our wedding. Their set list was amazing - a great variety of songs for all ages and tastes. It was just one great song after another. Our dancefloor was never empty! I enjoyed working with Jerome - he was very professional and helpful throughout. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had such great feedback. I would highly recommend Rock Empire and would encourage anyone to book them for your wedding or party. Thank you to the whole band! We loved you!"

"Rock Empire are AMAZING!! We were recommended the band by a close friend who is a wedding planner and the first thing he said was we would not regret booking the band and he was not wrong. As soon as I spoke to Jerome, I knew we had made the right choice he co uld not do enough for us and made the whole process very simple and helped with any requests that we had. On the day the band blew everyone away from the first moment at the end of dinner where everyone was singing and dancing on tops of tables and chairs to the last song the music was amazing. Everyone who attended the wedding has not stopped saying "The band were amazing". I would like to take this chance to say thank you so much Jerome and the band you were unbelievable and thank you for making the day even more memorable!!!"

"We wanted to say a massive thank you to Rock Empire for your incredible show at our wedding on Saturday. Having listened to you online, we were so excited for you to play at the wedding but we were both blown away by how great the sets were on the night. We absolutely loved the dancing, and I cannot count the number of people who came up to us both to tell us how brilliant the band was. Thank you also for learning our first dance request and performing it so beautifully, it was a really special moment and we’re so grateful to you all for making our wedding evening so brilliant."

"PERFECT!!!!!! We chose Rock Empire to participate in our wedding cocktail reception on the Île de Ré. What a fantastic band. Their kindness, dynamism and repertoire are incredible. Our guests loved the band and so did we. Our guests even had the opportunity to sing along with the group. If you are looking for an excellent, very professional, extremely friendly group that will make sure your event is an exceptional one, do not hesitate for a second. Rock Empire fully contributed to the success of this perfect day. A huge thank you to you!!! We would do this choice with our eyes closed and I recommend Rock Empire without any hesitation."

"Rock Empire came to my wedding and I have only one thing to say: Huge! The atmosphere was at the top and my friends set fire to the dance floor thanks to the energy of the group. Did not want to stop, and neither did my friends who were screaming for an encore, nor the group that stayed later than expected. So a big thank you. And thank you especially because the group knew to bend over backwards for me and my wife. Different styles, different requests for covers, and especially to have me on stage to play a little with them! Incredible, thank you again. My wedding would not have been as unforgettable without them."

"Wow! Rock Empire were incredible! We hired them for our wedding evening and our guests absolutely loved them. They were very accommodating, even letting some of the (drunken) guests get up and sing along or basically take over their set! Our guests are still talking about the band days later. Thank you so much for making our wedding so special to us and our guests and for being such lovely people! With love, Leanne & Marc."

Countless guests from our wedding have remarked on how brilliant your performance was. We are so so happy that we asked you to perform at our wedding and would absolutely recommend you for any event.

"WOW, what a night!!! A massive thank you for such a wonderful afternoon and evening of fantastic entertainment. You guys were amazing!! Everyone, had so much fun and I am sure you noticed that the dance floor was constantly rockin' which was quite an achievement. We were only 30 people of all ages so choose a music set that appeals to all was inspired. No-one wanted the music to stop or the night to end which is a sign of a good night. Thank you for letting us have our moment of fame on stage - it was such fun. Thank you for your patience with us and for playing Mr Brightside twice hahaha.... We had the most perfect wedding and it was a night that Simon and I and all of or friends and family will never forget. One of our guests has not danced for 40 years and danced throughout - that is a massive achievement. She now wants to go to a 'disco' - how wonderful is that!"

"Rock Empire played at our wedding and were fantastic! Thank you so much to Jerome and all the band! The set list had a great mix of our more modern tastes as well as pop covers that had the guests dancing all night. The band learned two special requests for us and played them perfectly. The band's performance was tight, well rehearsed and I would highly recommend them for any event - they really brought the evening to life. Through the pandemic we had to rearrange our wedding date twice. Jerome was always communicative and flexible which was great given the uncertainty. They are a very friendly group who even let us perform with them which was so cool. All of the guests, venue staff and photographers were asking us how we managed to find Rock Empire and thought they were one of the best function bands they'd seen - given the amount of weddings they have all been to, this is high praise! Thanks again and rock on!"
