We used St Royal for both our ceremony string duo and our reception DJ, and it was a great decision! Having one team handle the entire day made the transitions seamless and stress-free. The string duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour were wonderful. They played a beautiful mix of classical pieces and modern covers that our guests appreciated. Then, the transition to the reception was incredible. Our DJ (shoutout DJ AL) knew exactly how to read the room and kept the dance floor’s energy high. He took our 'must-play' list and mixed it perfectly with songs that got every generation up and moving. We highly recommend St Royal!

We challenged the St. Royals team with a fairly complex request and boy did they deliver. We wanted each part of the event to have a different vibe, not only moving our guests through different parts of the venue but with our entertainment as well. St. Royals was able to satisfy 4 of the 5, which was incredible. We started with the ceremony featuring a string trio. The list of songs to choose from ranged from classical to pop to rock and roll. Matt and his groomsmen walked down the aisle to Metalica Nothing Else Matters!

We had a really great experience with St. Royal! We used their strings, DJ, and sax for our wedding and everything went off so well. Our guests gave us so many compliments on the sax, noting how unique it was! I also received so many comments about what a great job the DJ was doing all night! So happy we went with this company!

Simply put, the St Royals deliver. I've used the St Royal Entertainment team on multiple occasions for my clients, and whether they're providing a 10 piece party band, 5 piece troubadour band, or a string quartet, the musicians are talented and professional. I never hesitate when referring clients to the St Royals!
