I discovered Eliās Band over a year ago and from the moment I came across them, I knew I had to reach out. I connected with Alisa, who was not only incredibly professional but also so warm, thorough, and easy to communicate with. From that very first conversation, I knew we were going to work well together.
As someone who does their homework, I spent a lot of time researching and reading reviews ā and time after time, I saw glowing feedback from her clients and guests who commented on their experience. It was clear this band was something special, and I wanted that same world-class entertainment experience for my daughterās wedding.
Over the past year, Alisa and I worked closely to bring our vision to life. This wasnāt a typical wedding, my daughter had a unique and artistic theme that combined The Phantom of the Opera with The Sound of Music. That meant complex, theatrical music that required top-tier vocalists and concert-level musicians. My event also required Eliās Band to travel by plane, then shuttled towards Lake Chelan. I had complete confidence in their commitment because of our communication and follow through. Eliās Band delivered beyond expectations by staying in contact with my planner and they came completely prepared with classy show attire and the intention to put on a great performance. The band members are so talented and very professional.
From the moment guests arrived ā welcomed by a live violinistsā to the breathtaking pre-ceremony performance, the unforgettable dinner music, and the all-night dancing, not a single detail was missed. The energy, the talent, the stage, the sound ā it was all phenomenal. Our guests were completely floored. No one sat down ā everyone was on their feet, celebrating and dancing the entire night. The band was energetic and so incredibly fun!
I cannot express enough gratitude to Alisa and the entire Eliās Band for the magic they created. They didnāt just provide entertainment ā they elevated the entire experience and helped create a once-in-a-century wedding for our guests and made my decision the best surprise. This was my gift to my daughter but this was also a gift that touched everyone and made them feel alive.
Truly unforgettable. World-class. Magical. Thank you from the bottom...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI don't have enough words or space to adequately express what an amazing group of people encompass this band. Having Eli and his band for our wedding on 9/22/19 was the number one best decision I have made, not just for the wedding, but in general. They helped make our wedding magical, spectacular, lively, fun, and an event no one will ever forget. When speaking to our guests, the first thing they say is "wow... that band!". One of our guests literally said that during the ceremony, when Eli started singing, he felt that the gates of heaven had opened and he was bearing witness to something extraordinary. Yes, you read correctly, Eli sings during the actual ceremony! It adds such an extra special touch!
Let me backtrack for a moment. The band was initially recommended by a family member. Upon contacting the band, I spoke to Alisa, the lead female singer. Alisa made the entire process so easy and comfortable. While I was going crazy about all the wedding details, the band is the one thing I didn't need to worry about. Alisa always replied promptly to any questions I had and made sure to work with me to get all the details I wanted incorporated into the wedding.
For us, it was important to have different styles of music as we are Americans of Jewish Russian background. With Eli's band, we had American music, Russian music, Israeli music, hip hop, latin 80's, 90's, and everything in between! The sax players, trumpet player, drummer, were all so outstanding! I literally can go on and on about the band and how incredible they were.
I walked down the aisle to most beautiful Hebrew song sung by Eli, then danced our first dance to "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" sung live by Eli, danced on stage with the band, on the dance floor with Alisa, and just partied all night on the best day of my life.
Thank you so much Eli, Alisa, and all of the band for making our wedding everything I ever dreamed of and everything I couldn't have possibly imagined. This is the band to get if you are looking to have a wedding no one will...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI am not even sure where to begin.... 2 words. HIRE THEM. Literally the best band in existence. If it tells you anything we made sure to set our date around their availability. Alisa is a gem and Eli has a literal voice of an angel. They are so fun together and truly understand the assignment. Eli sang live during our ceremony as well as for my dance with my dad. Not a dry eye! His voice is out of this world.
We also had Yuilya and Carolina who sang in Spanish, Russian and English (and probably even other languages) both of them were outstanding. My husband danced to "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston and Alisa highly suggested we have Yuliya sing it live and we are beyond glad we did... her voice was unreal you'd think it was Whitney Houston singing it herself... the entire ballroom stood up to give her a standing ovation!
What stood out to us the most was they aren't your 'typical band.' In fact they are the furthest thing from that. They listen and pay attention to details even when they are not singing... for example- my brother was giving a speech and in the speech he talked about my grandmother who recently passed and how her favorite song was "bƩsame mucho" next thing you know the moment my brother concluded his speech Eli came on and in remembrance live sang the song. It was heartwarming, unplanned and proves to show how much they were paying attention even when they were not performing.
We were blown away our guests had an incredible time and are still asking us about the band, the Head of Events from our venue verbatim said "We have never had a band like that perform here". Their selection of live instruments is more vast than any other band and their stage design is classy unique and stunning not to mention how well they match their aesthetic to your overall vibe!
By far one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. Alisa/Eli + entire team from the bottom of our hearts thank you! We love you guys and hope to see you again soon...
