Ariana Hodes and The Longest Yard is the perfect duo for those special moments!

When plans changed an hour before the show, they stepped in with calm, grace, and total professionalism. Their music is warm and intimate, their harmonies are stunning, and their presence instantly puts a room at ease. They’re artists you can truly trust with meaningful moments — a perfect choice for weddings or any celebration where atmosphere matters.

Great duo to book!

This talented two-person band pairs smooth harmonies, intimate sounds with creative covers and originals. Their versatile style can adapt seamlessly to any setting, like a rowdy Soccer crowd, or a quiet afternoon in the sun with a few guests. We look forward to booking them again this year
