I recently got married at Westchester NY, and had an AMAZING experienced with the Ariel band from "Ariel Music&Events". If you are looking for a professional, experienced, and exciting band for your wedding, then I will highly recommend this band with no hesitation! The band manager Liz listened to our needs and requests at beginning, and she always made herself available either through phone calls, text messages, or zoom meetings. She even provided us with 12 pages long song lists that her band was able to perform in live, which made it super easy for us to choose from. In addition, Liz does not charge extra when I requested to play specific songs that were not from her list. She genuinely just wants to make my wedding day as special as it could be, not to rip me off with any reason to add additional cost to the bill. I truly felt how much she cared and wanted to do her best to make us happy. The MC Ashley was also a doll. She was nice and easy to work with when I asked her to go over the reception procedures with me. When the big day came, I was truly blown away! From the piano and violin solos during the ceremony and cocktail hours, to the whole 10 piece band performing live during the entire reception, every single moment was perfect! The music flew perfectly based on the timeline of the day and we had an absolute blast dancing and celebrating with our family and friends. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank the whole team from Ariel Music&Event because you guys helped to make my dreams came true and I will never forget that day!!! -

Best Night Ever!
After booking our wedding date with our church and venue, the next most important thing on our list was the band. After attending several weddings that Ariel played at, we were SO happy to learn that they would be available for our own wedding! Our wedding guests LOVED the band and everyone was up and dancing the entire night! The responsiveness from Liz was super important for a stressed-out bride, and the band was fun and interactive the entire reception. They played all of our song requests, were responsible for ensuring that all of the important aspects of the reception ran smoothly, and they even took photos of us to share after our big day! HIGHLY recommend booking Ariel for your next event! -

Heartbeat was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding band! Working with them was ahead of the wedding was great – Liz is super organized and professional. She meticulously planned with us through a detailed timeline and song list, ensuring everything ran smoothly. They easily accommodated our custom song requests and were highly responsive to our questions.
The band brought an incredible energy to the reception and brought the dance floor to life. The saxophonist in particular was amazing - our guests couldn't stop complimenting him! Heartbeat made our wedding a true celebration and far exceeded all of our expectations. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for a top-notch wedding band for their special day! -

Liz, you guys were awesome!!! Heartbeat had our party amped up the whole night. Clare and I received tons of compliments about the band and I feel bad that I didn't thank each band member personally. Lawrence was absolutely the best and the sax player blew us all away.
I can't say enough good things. Your band made our day so special and I will be more than happy to tell anyone looking for a band to hire you. Quality of musicianship was off the charts, positive vibes coming from everyone on the stage, to the great mc'ing from Lawrence and the singers were crazy awesome!!!! I will say it again, the singers were just amazing.
Thank you so much for performing at the level you guys perform. Your band made Clare and me look real good to our family and friends. And more importantly, created such a fun and memorable night for Clare, me and all our guests.
Thank so much Liz to you and your team. -

Heartbeat Dance Band was absolutely amazing start to finish. I searched long and hard to find a band that was lively, talented, a good value, fun, and had brass elements, and we are overjoyed that we found HDB. Liz was so organized and helpful in communicating and mapping out the day. Everything was personalized to our wants as a couple, and it made the reception so special. During our wedding, we were simply blown away by the voices and musical ability of the band. Our guests could not stop raving, everyone was on the dance floor from the very first song, and it was an absolutely amazing night. If you're seeing this, run don't walk to book them for your event!Ariel Music & Events's reply:
Thank you so much Gina! We are so happy that your wedding was so much fun. We love making precious memories for our clients! It was a pleasure working with you too! -

Heartbeat is fabulous and all the guests at my wedding RAVED about their talent and performance. Heartbeat did an incredible job at our ceremony and reception - they are fun, flexible and on their A game! I also absolutely loved working with Liz (the manager of Ariel Music and Events). Liz is easy to work with and she is very professional. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with this exceptional team!Ariel Music & Events's reply:
Thank you, Liz! It was a real pleasure working with you to plan your wedding music! We are so proud to represent Heartbeat Dance Band. They always give 100% to our couples and that (along with their talent) is what guarantees the FUN that you experienced at your wedding! -

Book the Heartbeat Band!!
The Heartbeat Dance Band performed at our wedding this past labor day weekend and we could not have been happier! In the two dozen weddings I have been at with bands, they were far and away the best I have ever heard. We had no less than a dozen guests ask for the band’s name so they could recommend them for an upcoming wedding. We can’t recommend them enough for anyone considering a live band for their wedding.
Bandleader/emcee Lawrence set the tone right away as a true master of ceremonies. He handled introductions and transitions as if he had known our families his whole life. Truly a class act and a hilarious character, keeping the night on schedule while adding some humor throughout.
We hired a 9 piece band including horns for the reception, as well as a duet of Sax and piano for cocktail hour.The band sounded incredible throughout the evening, mixing motown classics and modern hits with ease. Shoutout to Bill on the saxaphone in particular for crushing it and keeping the energy high. The band kept the crowd engaged throughout the night, coming on to the dancefloor to play sax and guitar on a couple of occasions.The vocals and instrumentals were all fantastic. I had aunts and uncles come up to me during the reception to tell me the band sounded like the original LP as the covered classics. We probably had over 100 people on the dance floor for much of the 2 hour main set. In case it wasn’t clear that our guests couldn’t get enough of this band, they literally chanted for an encore, with the band delivering their request for “One more song, One more song!” by rocking the house with a rendition of “Shout!”.
Behind the scenes, Liz was incredible helping us navigate figuring out what package made sense for us and helping us plan out the evening as we got closer to our big day. Everything went smoothly on the day of the event. The Heartbeat Dance Band professionalism is second to none and they made our wedding day a huge success. I hope one of our friends hires them at their wedding just so we can see them perform again! Can’t recommend them enough and wish them best of luck in the future.

The Best Wedding Band!
Heartbeat Dance Band was absolutely amazing, everyone was dancing all night (no awkward pauses) and kept raving about how great they are. Some of our guests were even saying they felt like their groupies 🤣 Not only was the music fantastic, they also did a great job mc’ing the evening. -
