South Florida's Heatwave Band

ore special than the next! They took my twangy country songs and made them into beautiful ballads that made our night! We’ve been to weddings where they had the full band and we cannot express how amazing they are. Even with less than the full crew we had an equally as amazing night! This band is who you need to get if you can!!!

d, 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!”

the band and one person didn’t even want to step out to take a phone call because they “didn’t want to miss the next song.” Hire Heat Wave - you won’t t regret it.

nitely use them if you have the chance!

was hesitant to sign them. My Dad listened to Heatwave at a wedding and sent me videos. I am 27 years old and he is 31 years old. Heatwave did a great job pumping up the crowd with their pipes, encouragement of the wedding guests to stand in a circle around the first dance, and announcing events like the bouquet toss. The band gave me 8 pages of songs to choose from and the opportunity for them to learn 2 songs not on the list. I gave the band leader, Yoel Hyman, a list of “Do Not Play” songs and a few mandatory ones I wanted played. They were a smashing success and my friend in Canada even asked for their contact info to see if they can come play at her future wedding. You will be making a mistake if you don’t have them play for your wedding.

unded so good. We kept hearing about how wonderful the band was weeks after our wedding. Their careful planning and attention to detail gave us and our guests a night we will never forget and everything we wanted. We couldn't have asked for anything better.

o want a hora on the longer side and they did not hesitate and delivered! They played a great variety of music, sang everything amazingly and were a pleasure to work with. Our guests are still talking about Heatwave and we cannot wait to go to another event they are performing at!

ests that people were even dancing in between tables because the dance floor was so packed! Our guests were blown away by the band and all had an amazing time dancing to their music. Not only are they fabulous but they also truly care about the kind of music the couple enjoys and the type of party you expect. It was as though they could read our minds because we loved every single song they played. We will never forget when we went on the stage with the band to sing and dance to "Wagon Wheel" - our guests were so surprised and absolutely loved this. You will have the best night of your life dancing away with friends and family if you hire Heatwave! Thank you guys for the best night ever, my feet still hurt!

was dancing the whole night! I highly recommend this band!

ding special! We would totally hire them again and can not rave enough about their performance!All of our guests commented that they were as good as seeing a band in a professional venue !

ntastic job of working with us on the timeline and making sure our day was special. They were seriously fantastic and set the tone for the party from the get-go. Would recommend them in a heartbeat!

talented! They had so much energy and really got the crowd going!! Everyone in the room was out of their chair the whole evening! I’d highly recommend heatwave!

e most memorable and incredible part of our wedding. They are all professional, personable, and above and beyond talented. This band is way more than a band to me. I truly love them and hope to be in touch with them for many years to come!!

l to work with. He included our requests, helped create our reception timeline, and played to the crowd, which resulted in the most memorable night of our lives. Our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing this band is. They are dynamic, professional, and each musician brings something special that creates a spectacular vibe. The vocalists are so talented, you won't believe that this is a live band playing until you look up. Art also did a great job MCing, and this band truly made our reception flow perfectly from beginning to end. No one wanted to stop dancing when the night ended! Yoel was awesome on the keyboard during our ceremony and played our special songs beautifully. Thank you Art, Yoel and Heatwave for giving us the wedding party of our dreams!

just kept everyone dancing all night long. These guys know what they're doing. Art is very very easy to work with. Just give him a call about 2-3 weeks before your event and set up a meeting with him. He'll go through your song lists and any requests, review your reception timeline with you and you're done! Plus he's a sweetheart so you know you're in good hands. If you want a really great band, go with Heatwave. You won't regret it.

d is. I highly recommend Heatwave for your wedding!! Thank you guys for an incredible night!

& the entire Heatwave band are true professionals; not to mention nice people to work with. We all have choices in life...choose Heatwave Band you will not be disappointed! Sharyn K.

the music list - even learning a few songs - which killed it. Art was incredibly involved and responsive (probably had over 20 calls and 20+ e-mails). he also organized up an incredible 4 string quartet for the wedding ceremony. seamless organization (which is nice when wedding planning!). couldn't speak higher of heatwave - they knew what songs to play and when to keep the energy high. everyone loved them. they have incredible mash-ups and a huge list of songs that they absolutely nail. thanks heatwave for celebrating with us in Palm Beach two weeks ago! you made the evening.

esome ~ the dance floor was packed from beginning to end. 5 stars!!

reached out weeks later when he had to go over the wedding day timeline. This was after I put down the deposit (half). When he would finally meet with me, he did not want to play any of the songs I chose and continued to tell me that he knew how to run a party and have a good time. He did not listen to anything i said about the timeline my wedding planner created. I emailed Yoel, who was in charge of my ceremony music. I wanted to tell him the three songs we wanted for our ceremony. He tried to tell me that I should have Israeli music at my ceremony because it was a Jewish ceremony and that I can not have "here comes the bride" because that is church music. I told him that was what I would like and I am not religious. He made me feel as though I was doing something wrong. I emailed him with extreme specifics in songs and the timeline, which was to start at 6 PM. He said he would start at ten to six as entertainment for the guests. He did not start until ten after six, which I found out from my guests. At the reception, Art never said hello to me, my mother or my husband. He never once asked how everything was going. My reception started somewhat late and he just sat inside with the band waiting. He still took a 20 minute break at the incorrect time. They played songs that were not on my list and did not even play the top requested songs that I took time to write out for them. I had to ask my now husband to go up and tell them to play different music because we did not know what they were playing. Art never said goodbye. He just stopped at exactly 12, packed up and walked out. The professionalism with this band is horrible. I am extremely unhappy with Heatwave and would never recommend them to anyone.

eption, the band kept the party going all night long -- nobody wanted it to end!!

one song they couldn’t perform to perfection. We were particularly impressed with Art and Yoel as they were always professional, responsive and accommodating. Our reception was a blast! The band got everyone up and dancing. Their energy was infectious! No one wanted the party to end! We saw many bands before choosing SF Heatwave. They surpassed all other bands by far. We are so glad we chose SF Heatwave! Thanks Art and Yoel! Best Wishes-Elana and Bob

floor was packed all evening long, in fact, after the last song was played, the crowd shouted in unison . . "One more song"! No one wanted the party to end. Heatwave sensed the mood of the crowd and performed the perfect songs. They were able play every song my daughter and her husband requested even if they weren't in their extensive list. The lead singers were phenomenal backed up by equally talented musicians. Their renditions sounded like the original artists versions, in fact, some guests said they sounded better! Art Weiss and Yoel Hyman were wonderful to work with . . . Extremely responsive and helpful in making suggestions. They coordinated with our Catering Director to make sure everything flowed smoothly and on schedule and it DID. I can not rave enough about Heatwave. Congratulations if you are lucky enough to have Heatwave on your most special day. They are A- MAZING!!!

et choosing them!

ith...I would use Heatwave for any future event I might have...they are the best band in town!!!

g about the band and my wedding was a month ago! If you want your wedding to be filled with non-stop energy and dancing...Heatwave is your band!!!

worth it!

d the band behind them was top notch. The dance floor was packed from the first minute they started until the very last song. The most consistent comment we got throughout and after our wedding was "who is that AMAZING band!? They are unbelievable!" Our guests have been raving about them for weeks now. Even the grandparents were up dancing until 1am! There are truly not enough words for how much we loved heatwave!!! The energy in the room was unstoppable. Thank you thank you thank you heatwave!!!!

ey are urban, fun and always keep the party going! A++++++

t is performing at your wedding! I can't say enough great things about them....I can't wait until our friend's wedding since they have Heatwave booked as well!

here you start dancing write away and the whole party stays on the dance floor the whole night. It was just so much fun! Thank you guys, you made the night!

as the talk of the Sunday morning brunch and will likely be the hot topic in upcoming family gatherings. Heatwave got our crowd dancing throughout the night. Their sets (the combinations of songs) and delivery created an energy that was magical. It is clear Heatwave has the most talented group of singers, musicians, instrumentalists, and vocalists in South Florida. As residents of New Jersey, who have attended many unbelievable affairs in New York City, we say with conviction that there is not another band in their league. In musical terms, HEATWAVE ROCKS! We will remember a million things about our special day as we truly believe we had the wedding of the century, but the one thing that our guests will always remember is Heatwave bringing the house down.

ey play music from the 2000's and then can switch to the "classics" the older guests enjoy. I would highly recommend this band. They might be a little over your budget, but it is well worth it. Music is such a key element in any event so you won't regret it!

Latin music!
