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. Liz was a pleasure to work with as well!

I seen the Harrisons last night and they played good music but I didnt appreciate the sny remarks for the husband. So FYI dont talk to his wife or he will heckle you.

Absolutely spectacular! They made our wedding.

WOW. Ariel Music & Events (and especially the Heartbeat Dance Band) were PHENOMENAL. We are still on a high from our wedding nearly 2 months later. My husband and I knew we wanted a great band for our wedding reception, and Heartbeat delivered in every way. They blew us (and all of our guests) away with their energy and their talent. The energy on our dance floor was something I had never seen at a wedding before. The dance floor was packed the entire night - from the very beginning until the very end of the reception. This was largely due to the quality and energy of the Heartbeat Band. They knew exactly how to get the crowd going, and they knew which songs to play during which times in the night. They were truly the best wedding band I have ever heard.I cannot count how many compliments we received about the band. People not only commented the night of our wedding, but we are still getting compliments on the band nearly 2 months later. Several of our friends have even asked for the name of the band, so they can reserve them for their upcoming weddings.Working with Ariel Music was extremely easy - a special thank you to Liz for making sure everything was perfect for our wedding day. Working with her was seamless, she is extremely professional and genuinely wanted us to have a perfect day. We HIGHLY recommend this band to our family, friends, and anyone else reading this.

BEST wedding band out there!! 5 stars all the way. They performed at my wedding ceremony and reception. Their energy was infectious. Not a single person sat in their seats the whole night! The band manager, Liz, is so easy to work with and so accommodating. I am a singer-songwriter, and I wanted to perform one of my songs at the reception in front of all my guests... It worked out beautifully! Liz scheduled a time for me to meet with the band leader and run a rehearsal. The band nailed it when it mattered most. It couldnt have gone more smoothly. Trust me, this is the band to go with!

Ariel is an awesome band! They played last week at our daughters wedding, and we couldnt have been happier. The song list is very varied, and they played lots of great hits and songs everyone knew and enjoyed dancing to. We had 10 pieces, and the different vocalists were all amazing! Liz was really terrific to work with to set everything up, and she was also extremely patient with repeated phone calls from the groom and my husband about different songs. The band also worked with the groom who sang a song, which worked out great. Overall, I cannot say enough great things about Ariel... they are fabulous! I would highly recommend them for a wedding or any event where a band is needed. As they say, the band makes the party, and Ariel helped to make our wedding a great success! Thank you!!!

We would highly recommend Ariel Band to anyone and everyone we know. The band really set the tone for our wedding, got everyone onto the dance floor, and was just fantastic in every way. We were blown away but how perfect everything was. The flow of the evening from the ceremony music, to our introductions, to our last dance was seamless and so professional. Our guests were commenting all night on how great the band sounded. Even the banquet manager we worked with, Bobby, told us it was the best band hes heard and he has been to a lot of events ;-) At one point, Frosty and Frank Elmo went back and forth between the trumpet and sax and the crowd gathered around to watch and listen. It was awesome! Thank you again for all of your meticulous planning prior to our wedding. The evening couldn’t have been any better!!!

We hired Ariel band to entertain at one of our private corporate events we had in New York just recently. They were referred to us by the NY venues event manager. We were so happy the we did, because their non-stop energy, showmanship and amazing vocals had everyone up dancing. Our party was such a success thanks to them. It was such a memorable fun night, I cannot recommend them enough.

My wife and I had the Ariel band at our wedding at Snug Harbor, and the guests still talk about them. A friend of mine recently asked me who my wife and I used, and I instantly remembered and decided to write this review. They were exceptional to work with, learned a number of songs they didnt have on their original list and provided a great atmosphere for the wedding.

Booking Ariel for our wedding was a very smooth and straightforward process. Liz helped us from the very start and she was always extremely helpful and friendly. We had several long telephone calls and emails prior to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. She also liaised with the venue coordinator to make sure everything would run smoothly. Liz was extremely organized and thorough (which we love), she listened to our ideas and wishes and was very accommodating, and she also gave us advice and feedback as we went along. We had some special requests and she was very happy to help accommodate those too. Overall, the whole planning and pre-wedding communication was excellent.The band was absolutely amazing! All excellent musicians, and we can say that for sure because we are professional musicians ourselves! Frosty (band leader) arrived at the venue early, he was very calm and was extremely helpful the entire night, playing, singing, MCing & working the sound board. He is an excellent pianist, vocalist, has great energy and he even played his trumpet on a couple of songs (whilst playing the piano at the same time!).Akua and Kevin (singers) sounded INCREDIBLE. The whole band looked lovely (Akua looked stunning in a beautiful dress). The dance floor was packed the entire night, the repertoire they chose was great, Kevin is an amazing singer as well as a great entertainer, always engaging with the crowd.We believe that having live music is always the way to go, but it is very important to choose the right performers who have the talent, attitude, energy and experience to put on a good party – and this band has it all! Thank you Ariel Music and Events!

Ariel played at our daughters wedding on August 29, 2015. Our guests still talk about the band and it being the best part of the day. I highly recommend Ariel for your next event. Gloria and Mike
