heartbeat dance band was amazing! barbara is very easy to work with- she is knowledgeable and quick to answer emails, and will really go through all of the details to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. she invited us to hear a showcase at the hyatt in greenwich and we were sold! they sounded great! we went for the 9 piece band and it sounded amazing at our wedding reception. they had the room going for the whole time- people were going nuts on the dance floor! they definitely know how to work the crowd. they are constantly learning new music and we especially enjoyed their "lady gaga medley"! they can read the crowd and play what people want to hear (have a huge list of songs that span many genres) they also did a great job with dictating the flow of the night (cake cutting, first dance, etc) people are still talking about how great our band was. definitely worth every penny!
