Hire now!

Wow wow wow! If you want to have a personal concert at your wedding, you need to hire Heart Beat Band from Ariel Music & Events. The process before the wedding was extremely organized and every person they brought that day was out of this world, we were blown away. We could not be happier with this band.

Amazing wedding band!!

We used the Heartbeat Dance Band for our June 2024 wedding and it was amazing! People were coming up to us all night complimenting the band. Leading up to the wedding, communication with Liz, the band manager, was easy and thorough! We were able to detail exactly what we were looking for and get quick responses on any questions we had. We wanted a band that would give us a lively dance floor and they did just that! Would 100% recommend.

I have known and worked with the Ariel Entertainment for over 15 years and each and every time is a true pleasure. The owners, Elizabeth and Lenny are caring, genuine individuals who want nothing more that to please their clients. As musicians and vocalists their talent is unsurpassed, as business people they are fair and honest. Working with the professionals who make up Ariel Entertainment allow me to focus on my bride and her family because I know that the music is in good hands with them.
