    Highlight of our wedding!

    I'm not sure I can put into words just how INCREDIBLE Heatwave is. My parents saw the band at a wedding seven years ago, and when it came time for my wedding in April 2023, they were our first call. Art was a pleasure to work with--he's so responsive and knows how to time the party to keep guests dancing all night long. We had a twelve-piece band at the wedding, and our guests haven't stopped talking about how great they were. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    High Energy - Professional- PERFECT!!!

    High energy and sensational! Our guests had rave reviews for Heatwave but the packed dance floor throughout the night said it all!
    The band manager took the time to get to know the bride and groom and really understand their expectations. The band MC was great, the flow of the evening was perfect.
    They also provided the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as a great DJ. All were outstanding!
    THANK YOU HEATWAVE, your talent, dedication and ability to capture the crowd made my son and daughter-in-laws wedding simply perfect and truly memorable!!!

    Hi Lynn,
    Thank you so much for your awesome review. It was a pleasure working with you from the planning to the wedding. We will always remember that precious evening.

    Best Band Ever!!!

    WOW. What can we say but, "Thank you!" Heatwave turned our wedding into a dream. Not only were the vocals and the music phenomenal, but the band took control of the party and ran the night seamlessly. Multiple guests have since told us how spectacular the band was, with many describing Heatwave as "the best ever." Would highly recommend!!!

    Beyond expectations

    Heatwave was everything we could have dreamed of. Definitely the highlight of the night. They kept the energy going for hours on end and had everyone on their feet! Yoel is an amazing band director. He met with us many times on zoom prior to the big day to solidify our style and our goals. He's creative beyond imagination and made our ideas come to life. We wanted to create a second line entrance into our reception straight into a medley of our favorite songs and he truly delivered, not to mention the other songs they learned for us and true musician ship and pure talent on the stage! Every moment was special and bespoke.

    We vetted COUNTLESS bands in FL and beyond... and coming from someone who's been playing instruments most of their life - Heatwave was an absolute TREASURE to find. If they're not taken on your day, you literally hit the jackpot because you need to book them ASAP!

    Best Wedding Band I've Ever Seen

    Leading up to our wedding, I was focused almost entirely on the band. As the groom, this was the only thing I was particular about. I’ve been to numerous weddings, and from experience, I knew the band set the tone for the entire night. From start to finish, the group was incredible. The communication was constant and they organized multiple meetings to make sure everything would go exactly as planned for the wedding. When we finally heard them for the first time, I realized just how fortunate we were. Their live sound is considerably better than all of their recordings. Their energy was nonstop and our guests were dancing all night. The one compliment we kept getting during and after our wedding was “this is the best wedding band I’ve ever heard”. They were one of the highlights for everyone, I can’t recommend them enough.

    Wedding band

    Heatwave did a wonderful job at our wedding. The band sounded amazing, and everyone had a blast on the dance floor. The string quartet was lovely during the ceremony. Yoel was very helpful and responsive prior to the wedding, and helped make sure all of our questions and requests were fulfilled. We would highly recommend them for any event!

    Heatwave is the Best!

    Hiring a wedding band can be a stressful decision. Take the stress out of it by picking up the phone right now, calling Art, and booking Heatwave. They are the BEST. From Art to Yoel to Dre to James, every single band member was truly a pleasure to work with and each was so incredibly talented. They will, without any doubt, make your wedding the most memorable and fun night of your entire life. Our guests could not stop telling us how incredible they were and we are forever grateful to have had Heatwave on our big day.

    Hire this band without a second thought.

    About 3 years before my husband and I got married, we saw Heatwave at a wedding we went to! After dancing the night away, the lead singer came up to us at the end of the night and said to us “You’re next!” so picking Heatwave for our wedding band was a no-brainer!!! The second we got engaged, I reached out Heatwave and booked them for our wedding! Art is absolutely amazing! He is a pro having been in the South Florida wedding business for so long! He sat with us and mapped out our entire night and assured us that they could play almost any music we wanted and run the most amazing party. They delivered everything we asked for 1000x over and we cannot thank Heatwave enough for making this the absolute BEST night of our lives! We have gotten sooooo many compliments on our band from our wedding day! They have such amazing vocals and being at their performance is truly like being at a concert! As a “surprise” from the band, my husband and I spent the last few songs up on stage with them and honestly, it was INCREDIBLE and one of my favorite moments from the night! They also honored our request of a private last dance between my husband and I and it was so special! This band is amazing. I highly highly highly recommend Heatwave for any wedding or other event you’re thinking of booking them for!!!

    Oh and I forgot to mention that as the biggest surprise of the night, my dad wrote me a song and Heatwave even coordinated with my dad and played the music in the background for him. That was the highlight of the party. Thank you so much Heatwave for a moment I will never forget.

    Incredible!

    Heatwave surpassed my expectations in every way. The ENTIRE party was dancing, not a moment of cheesiness, just amazing music and pure FUN. Everyone raved about how amazing they were. HIRE THEM!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!

    We cannot thank Heatwave Band enough for their amazing performance at our wedding! From the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception, everything was perfect. They sounded incredible together and each band member brought something special to each song. All of the reviews are true that your guests will be raving about this band! Art and Yoel were so great to work with too. They helped us to plan the order of events for reception and listened to all of our requests! They learned our requested songs and played them absolutely perfect - beyond what we could have imagined! I can’t say enough good things about this band!! Thank you Heatwave Band!!

    Heatwave Music & Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Ed & Erin,

    Thank you so much for that glowing review. It also was a pleasure working with you from the first inquiry call to the last song.
    Thank you for having Heatwave for your special day.
    Wishing you both the best of luck and happiness.
    Warm wishes,
    Art

    Best Band Ever

    If I could give Heatwave 100 stars it wouldn’t be enough. The band was spectacular in every way. From the moment we first contacted them Art was terrific. He assured me they could play almost any music and run the party. Well, he wasn’t kidding. The timing of the party was perfect. The music was outstanding, playing all genres and keeping the crowd dancing all night. People kept asking how we found them and if we had hired Earth, Wind and Fire!! The comment we heard all night was this band is fantastic! One guest that’s in the music industry said they were awesome. At the end of the night the crowd chanted one more song, one more song, they didn’t want the music to stop. We would have gladly gone into overtime had there not been noise ordinances prohibiting going past midnight. We can’t thank Heatwave enough for making Corey & Bailey’s wedding a great party that no one will soon forget. Hire this band without a second thought.

    Heatwave Entertainment rocked our party!

    This band is absolutely top-notch! Their energy, talent level, and incredible vibe made everybody at our party dance all night! Every song they played was fantastic. They worked with us and performed songs that were perfect for our crowd. They even learned a song that the groom wanted to dedicate to the bride. And it was phenomenal! If I had a dollar for every person that came up to me and said how amazing the band was I would not have had to pay for the wedding! Heatwave is beyond amazing!

    Book them!

    We could have not picked a better band for our wedding! Heatwave completely blew us and our guests away! Everything was perfect and they kept the party going all night!! Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun they had and how incredible the band was! My parents had been to two Heatwave weddings before and they completely lived up to our expectations and then some! Art was great to work with, especially having to postpone our wedding to 2021 due to Covid. Thank you Heatwave!

    Heatwave is Unbelievable!!!

    Our wedding was the best night of our lives. Period. There are so many decisions that have to be made in the course of planning a wedding… and booking Heatwave to be our band was the best decision we made!

    Your guests *might* remember the food, or the cake, or details of the venue… but they *will* remember the band.

    The music was such an important part of every moment of our day. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to first dances, and then having a celebration on the dance floor for the rest of the evening… Heatwave created the energy & atmosphere we wanted for every moment of our special day.

    1.) They sound amazing. I’m a musician myself… I play piano, guitar, and drums, and have played in several bands. My dad played in a wedding band for 30 years. Myself and my whole family have been around music our entire lives… and these guys sound amazing. Each band member was exceptional, their chemistry as a group was outstanding, and the sound quality was superb.

    2.) They can play anything. The song list that they gave us spanned every musical genre from modern hits back to the 50’s. We had them play a mix of old & new, including some demanding special requests... and they nailed every note. The dance floor was full all night, which was exactly what we wanted.

    3.) Communication. There’s so much more to hiring a wedding band than just finding a band and booking them. You’ve got decisions about ceremony music, cocktail hour, introductions of the wedding party, first dances, and more… We even had a few special requests. The band was organized, quickly responded to any emails or text messages I sent them, and inspired confidence that they would deliver… and they did!

    4.) Attention to details... and to us. Due to weather concerns, we waited until the last moment to make a final decision on indoor versus outdoor set-up. This is a big deal, as a band has to plan staging & equipment set-up. They were remarkably flexible, and gave us all the time we needed to make our decision. They basically planned the set-up for two separate venues and allowed us to make a call at the last minute based on weather. There were so many other vendors pressuring us to make this decision… meanwhile… these guys made it clear that their top priority was to make us happy... and bent over backwards to do so! :D

    Do yourself a favor and book Heatwave. Whenever I talk to one of my wedding guests the first thing they say to me is… “Your wedding was so amazing… That band was incredible!”

    SO Incredible!

    Heatwave was absolutely incredible! They learned my first dance song and it was performed beautifully. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night and people are STILL talking about how amazing the band was at my wedding. Art + team were incredible to work with and I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone!

    Best band ever!

    My husband and I saw Heatwave at a wedding one month before we got engaged in December 2018. We both looked at each other and we're like "Yup, that's our band!" We were instantly sold. The second we got engaged my mom reached out to Heatwave and booked them for our wedding, which was originally scheduled for May 2, 2020. For obvious reasons, we postponed twice -- but were finally able to have the wedding celebration of our dreams on December 18, 2021! We cannot thank Heatwave enough for making this the absolute BEST night of our lives! Everyone was and is beyond obsessed with them! Like some of the other reviewers said, it's truly like being at a concert! Their talent and energy is just on another level! My husband and I spent the last few songs up on stage with them and honestly, it was INCREDIBLE! Also, honorable mention for Art! He is beyond amazing! He spent hours with my parents coordinating the perfect wedding music for all 3 iterations of our wedding!!! Run.. do not walk to book this band for your wedding! THEY ARE THE GOAT!

    One of a Kind!

    There are no words to describe Heatwave. Art, whom we’ve spoken with so often (after 3 rescheduled dates) has been absolutely exceptional and so patient. Every detail of the music was covered thanks to Art and the Heatwave Band. And finally on our May 21, 2021 wedding date Heatwave shined through. They absolutely rocked the wedding, had everyone dancing and having the time of our lives. The compliments we are still receiving on the band haven’t stopped. Tamara, one of the lead singers, sang “At Last” a special song to us, so gorgeous, it captivated the whole room. The talent of these band members is unmatched. We are so grateful they were a part of our special day, hiring Heatwave was the best decision ever. There is no one like them!

    Hire heatwave

    HEATWave was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I truly enjoyed every interaction with Art and Yoel leading up to the wedding. The entire team is very attentive to details and wants to make sure that you and your guest have the best experience. My wedding consisted of only family due to covid and they had us on the dance floor the entire time!! They are extremely talented and a 10 out of 10 in my book. I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Party all night long

    I can not express in words how thrilled we were with Heatwave. We had 166 people in attendance and I think I had over 1000 compliments on the band. They kept the party going all night long. People danced and celebrated all night long. Their performance and sound was incredible.
    I have to mention how professional they were too. We were not aware of some problems with the venue and the vendor meals that were served. We were told of the problem after the event. The vendor meals were inedible and basically the band performed all evening without anything to eat. We would not have known of this unless our "day of" coordinator told us. Art and his band never mentioned a thing and kept the party going. Art was great to work with and is such a professional. We also used them for our ceremony and cocktail hour. My daughter did not know what type of music she wanted for that, so she just went with their recommendations. The music was perfect from beginning to end. Thank you Art and the Heatwave band.

    Hi Donna,
    Thank you so much for having Heatwave be a part of Cassandra & Mark's wedding. We had such a great time entertaining your family. It was also a pleasure working with you going over all the details.
    Please give our regards to Cassandra & Mark.
