The Heartbeat Band killed it. From the outset, it was clear we were dealing with a professional operation. Liz was extremely detailed and worked with our planner to map out the day to the minute. The band’s energy was incredible and kept people on the dance floor all night long. We received so many compliments from guests about the band. The saxophonist in particular was amazing. Thank you, Liz and the Heartbeat Band, for helping make our wedding so special!

I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are for Liz and her team! The planning process was so smooth - and the execution on our wedding day… Priceless! The entire reception was a party from start to finish! Everyone said it was the best band they have ever witnessed at a wedding, and as a wedding planner myself - I can 1000% confirm that is true! Their main goal is to make sure everyone is dancing, and having the best time and they will make sure of it!

The band was absolutely incredible! The singers were phenomenal, full of energy, amazing voices, and such great stage presence. By the second song the entire wedding was on the dance floor. We received endless compliments all night and even after the wedding about how amazing the band was. They truly made the night unforgettable. The quality of service was top notch from start to finish. Liz was organized, easy to work with, and made sure every detail was perfect!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Ariel Music & Events. We had the band Heartbeat for our wedding and they made the night spectacular. All our family and friends kept asking where we found this band, and how unbelievable they were. We worked closely with Liz to build the perfect timeline for the evening to integrate dancing and fun for the guests throughout the dinner and entire evening. I highly recommend Ariel Music and Events, they are worth every penny.

This band is super talented and was a big hit at our wedding! Liz was very organized and communicative throughout the the process from ceremony, cocktail hour and reception! The band was super lively with the crowd and had amazing energy! The band had a nice mix of music so all ages had an amazing time! Everyone one was dancing! I highly recommend!!!!!!

We hired Ariel after wanting to hire their sister band Heartbeat who we have seen play at other weddings. Heartbeat was not available and we decided to go with Ariel. We were not disappointed! They lived up to the hype and brought great energy all night. Our guests loved them! They did everything exactly as we asked and did an awesome job learning our special songs. Liz was extremely kind & understanding & very responsive! She was so easy to work with and is extremely professional! We would hire Ariel again in a heartbeat!
