Yoel was amazing to work with! This band is PHENOMENAL!! Thanks so much! We had the best wedding ever because of the band. Everyone kept telling us how amazing the band was, and that it’s the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. Many also said that every one of the members really put their all into it and seemed to enjoy and love what they do, not just phone it in. I’m loving all of the compliments!

Art and his team absolutely blew my guest away! Do not think twice about hiring South Florida Heat Wave. They kept the guests on the dance floor all night long! Art was extremely easy to work with and their entertainment all night long was everything I was hoping for. Thank you Art & the rest of the South Florida Heatwave Band!

I used Heatwave as the band for my wedding. Working with Art was great. He was responsive and made so many accommodations for us. We had a unique first dance song which the band learned and executed perfectly. The band the night of the wedding was great. We were told by so many people how great the music was. The band knows a wide variety of songs that everyone enjoyed. I let them choose the majority of songs played and the flow of the night which was perfect for our crowd. I highly recommend Heatwave.

Heatwave was an absolute hit at our event! Their performance was electrifying and kept the energy soaring throughout the night. They were not just a band; they were the catalyst that turned the gathering into an unforgettable party. The dance floor was never empty—everyone was out of their seats. Days after the event, conversations were still buzzing about how phenomenal Heatwave was. People were raving, saying it was the best live band they have ever experienced. They truly set the bar high and made the evening an absolute blast! I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception truly magical.

The band exceeded my wildest expectations. They were incredible. On the day after my wedding I expected to hear things like "the bride was beautiful" or "your ceremony was so touching".
Instead, all anyone could talk about was how amazing the band was. And I wasn't upset with that at all - South Florida's Heatwave Band truly did a ridiculously good job, kept every wedding guest on the dance floor the entire night, sounded great, and were overall a lot of fun. I highly recommend them for any wedding or similar event. Fantastic!!

High energy and sensational! Our guests had rave reviews for Heatwave but the packed dance floor throughout the night said it all!
The band manager took the time to get to know the bride and groom and really understand their expectations. The band MC was great, the flow of the evening was perfect.
They also provided the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well as a great DJ. All were outstanding!
THANK YOU HEATWAVE, your talent, dedication and ability to capture the crowd made my son and daughter-in-laws wedding simply perfect and truly memorable!!!

The night would not have been complete without the Heatwave! The Band was unforgettable and had all the wedding guests (even the grandkids and grandparents) dancing the night away! Yoel was easy going and super helpful coordinating the flow of the evening, making sure all the sounds and speeches went without a hitch. Honestly the best money you can spend to make sure your wedding is memorable for all your guests. 100% happy with our decision.

Heatwave was everything we could have dreamed of. Definitely the highlight of the night. They kept the energy going for hours on end and had everyone on their feet! Yoel is an amazing band director. He met with us many times on zoom prior to the big day to solidify our style and our goals. He's creative beyond imagination and made our ideas come to life. We wanted to create a second line entrance into our reception straight into a medley of our favorite songs and he truly delivered, not to mention the other songs they learned for us and true musician ship and pure talent on the stage! Every moment was special and bespoke.
We vetted COUNTLESS bands in FL and beyond... and coming from someone who's been playing instruments most of their life - Heatwave was an absolute TREASURE to find. If they're not taken on your day, you literally hit the jackpot because you need to book them ASAP!

Hands down the BEST South Florida wedding band there is! We cannot say enough about how amazing Yoel and the band were for our wedding night! Our night was so incredible thanks to them! Their energy, talent, and engagement is amazing and they kept people on the dance floor all night! You might read this in other band reviews but we’re telling you all guests from the first to the last song did not leave the dance floor! This is what we wanted. We wanted a party and we got so much more! Heatwave went above and beyond. People keep raving to us about how amazing our band was! We wish we can do it all again! We got to form a relationship with Yoel over these months which has been really special and we are grateful to have become friends! We cannot thank them enough! Thank you Yoel and Heatwave for making this the best night of our lives!

Leading up to our wedding, I was focused almost entirely on the band. As the groom, this was the only thing I was particular about. I’ve been to numerous weddings, and from experience, I knew the band set the tone for the entire night. From start to finish, the group was incredible. The communication was constant and they organized multiple meetings to make sure everything would go exactly as planned for the wedding. When we finally heard them for the first time, I realized just how fortunate we were. Their live sound is considerably better than all of their recordings. Their energy was nonstop and our guests were dancing all night. The one compliment we kept getting during and after our wedding was “this is the best wedding band I’ve ever heard”. They were one of the highlights for everyone, I can’t recommend them enough.

As a professional musician myself, having played literally thousands of Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs in the N.Y. area for over 25 years, you can imagine my standards in hiring a band for my son’s wedding would be incredibly high. My expectations were MORE than met when Heatwave performed for us on May 7, 2022!
First off, you could tell these musicians have played together A LOT – you just get the feeling that they are a tight-knit family who deliver super tight grooves, with fantastic song selections that flow from one to the other naturally and effortlessly. You want that in a band, because that experience and comradery enables them to react to an audience and change songs on a dime to keep the energy and momentum moving throughout the evening.
The four singers (2 men, 2 women) EACH has simply fantastic (but different) voices that allowed them to literally cover literally every genre of music; from classic Motown, soul and pop to today’s hip hop, to beautiful ballads and hot Latin dance tracks. And they also blended beautifully when they all harmonized together. And if you’re a Queen fan, ask Dre to sing “Don’t Stop Me Now;” he tore down the house with that performance!
Besides all being great musicians, it’s also important that a band works effectively to customize the music for their client. My particular requests called for a unique Beatle-themed wedding ceremony, two songs that I would sing with the band (once a musician always a musician!) and a bunch of other special song requests.
Both Art and his music director Yoel were really easy to work with; they never said no to any of my special requests, and I know they worked hard behind the scenes to make sure the band learned anything they didn’t already know. The night of the wedding, they came fully prepared and made me sound great! If a song is important to you, they will learn it and perform it to perfection.
It was a true pleasure working with Art and all the members of Heatwave; I’ve heard nothing but raves from our guests, with many saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
I HIGHLY recommend them!

About 3 years before my husband and I got married, we saw Heatwave at a wedding we went to! After dancing the night away, the lead singer came up to us at the end of the night and said to us “You’re next!” so picking Heatwave for our wedding band was a no-brainer!!! The second we got engaged, I reached out Heatwave and booked them for our wedding! Art is absolutely amazing! He is a pro having been in the South Florida wedding business for so long! He sat with us and mapped out our entire night and assured us that they could play almost any music we wanted and run the most amazing party. They delivered everything we asked for 1000x over and we cannot thank Heatwave enough for making this the absolute BEST night of our lives! We have gotten sooooo many compliments on our band from our wedding day! They have such amazing vocals and being at their performance is truly like being at a concert! As a “surprise” from the band, my husband and I spent the last few songs up on stage with them and honestly, it was INCREDIBLE and one of my favorite moments from the night! They also honored our request of a private last dance between my husband and I and it was so special! This band is amazing. I highly highly highly recommend Heatwave for any wedding or other event you’re thinking of booking them for!!!

South Florida's Heatwave Band was amazing! Their music and energy was awesome - all of our guests danced the ENTIRE night - really didn't leave the dancefloor! We all had so much fun thanks to them. They were excited to learn a few new songs that we requested and killed it! While there were some minor communication issues, the wedding went perfectly and the band was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend if you want to dance the night away!

They were absolutely spectacular- myself and the guests could not and will not stop talking about how incredible they were. It was a nonstop party on the dance floor and every single musician was so talented, they made the night even better than I could have ever imagined. I wish I could give them a hundred stars, they were that good! If you’re looking for a wedding band, book them immediately, you will NOT regret it ( and invite me so I can listen to them again!)

Hiring a wedding band can be a stressful decision. Take the stress out of it by picking up the phone right now, calling Art, and booking Heatwave. They are the BEST. From Art to Yoel to Dre to James, every single band member was truly a pleasure to work with and each was so incredibly talented. They will, without any doubt, make your wedding the most memorable and fun night of your entire life. Our guests could not stop telling us how incredible they were and we are forever grateful to have had Heatwave on our big day.

My husband and I saw Heatwave at a wedding one month before we got engaged in December 2018. We both looked at each other and we're like "Yup, that's our band!" We were instantly sold. The second we got engaged my mom reached out Heatwave and booked them for our wedding, which was originally scheduled for May 2, 2020. For obvious reasons, we postponed twice -- but were finally able to have the wedding celebration of our dreams on December 18, 2021! We cannot thank Heatwave enough for making this the absolute BEST night of our lives! Everyone was and is beyond obsessed with them! Like some of the other reviewers said, it's truly like being at a concert! Their talent and energy is just on another level! My husband and I spent the last few songs up on stage with them and honestly, it was INCREDIBLE! Also, honorable mention for Art! He is beyond amazing! He spent hours with my parents coordinating the perfect wedding music for all 3 iterations of our wedding!!! Run.. do not walk to book this band for your wedding! THEY ARE THE GOAT!

If Heatwave is available and in your budget, hire them. They are the best. We got married six weeks ago, and people are still telling me Heatwave was the best band they'd ever heard at a wedding. We had guests asking to take selfies with the band members at the end of the reception. It almost felt like a concert. They are fantastic, will keep your guests dancing all night, and will ensure you and your guests have a wonderful time. Do not hesitate - hire them today. I'm so glad I did.

I wish I could have given 100 stars! I can’t even express how incredible and how talented this band is and how spectacular they made our event. Hands down, the BEST band! My husband and I are beyond thrilled that we hired them for our daughter’s wedding. Believe me when I say, their video does not give the full impression of what they can do. They are even more unbelievable in person, and what an experience to see them live! Their sound is so outstanding, and the authenticity is unreal. Besides the 4 main singers who sound just like the actual artists, the musicians sing as well. Any song from any genre and decade had the perfect voice for the song. They played the most current popular music and all the way back to the classics everyone remembers and loves. Every musician is so talented, and every vocalist is so fabulous! We thought we were at a concert. Their professionalism is exceptional! From the moment our guests stepped into the ballroom, we started getting comments about this band. Guests were in awe and asked us where on earth we found them! The highest compliments came from our guests who are in the music industry. That just shows what a reception we had. The greatest part was that we did not need to worry about any of the details. We just put it in Art, the band leader’s hands, and just enjoyed the celebration. He sets a timeline down to the last second, and the entire evening runs so smoothly. These performers have been in this business for so long and know how to read a crowd. They knew exactly what to play and when. From beginning to end, the dance floor was packed, and they knew how to keep everyone out there. They brought the party and kept it going, and my guests stayed until the last song. We didn’t want it to end. We have a big, Italian family who go to tons of weddings. Having their wonderful comments made it such a night. It was awesome to see every guest of every age from teens to grandparents all having the best time the entire time! Thanks, Heatwave, for making our daughter’s wedding unforgettable!!!

There are no words to describe Heatwave. Art, whom we’ve spoken with so often (after 3 rescheduled dates) has been absolutely exceptional and so patient. Every detail of the music was covered thanks to Art and the Heatwave Band. And finally on our May 21, 2021 wedding date Heatwave shined through. They absolutely rocked the wedding, had everyone dancing and having the time of our lives. The compliments we are still receiving on the band haven’t stopped. Tamara, one of the lead singers, sang “At Last” a special song to us, so gorgeous, it captivated the whole room. The talent of these band members is unmatched. We are so grateful they were a part of our special day, hiring Heatwave was the best decision ever. There is no one like them!

We give 6 stars to the band, their energy and talent. However, the MC for the band did go off script several times during the event which created undue stress to the Bride and her event coordinators. We had several calls in preparation for the event yet ultimately our MC elected not to follow our agreed timeline/script with very clear details and songs we had asked to hold off until later in the evening. We were disappointment and truly shocked this was even possible after all the clear calls and emails we had. The band's talent is undeniable worth booking yet we wish our MC simply followed what was spelt out and planned.

The entire team is very attentive to details and wants to make sure that you and your guest have the best experience. My wedding consisted of only family due to covid and they had us on the dance floor the entire time!! They even learned an acoustic version of Eye of the Tiger for me! The entire band is extremely talented and a 10 out of 10 in my book. I promise you won't be disappointed!

While I would have loved to have the entire band we had to cut back our wedding which meant cutting down the band. The two people that we had, singer and keyboard, were beyond incredible! They brought the energy we needed and made every dance more 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!!!

Our wedding was the best night of our lives. Period. There are so many decisions that have to be made in the course of planning a wedding… and booking Heatwave to be our band was the best decision we made!
Your guests *might* remember the food, 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!”

Heatwave’s 11-person band played at our wedding on 10/26/19 at the Marriott Beach Harbor in Fort Lauderdale, FL. They were the best band my husband and I have ever heard, and I highly recommend them!! I heard a couple of bands play at bars but 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.

Heatwave was absolutely incredible! Their musicianship is stellar. As guests were making their way from the cocktail hour to the reception area, the best man turned to me in disbelief that the band was playing and not a recording, since they sounded 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.

Heatwave is the absolute best. They performed at our February wedding and kept the party going all night long. They are incredible musicians and have so much energy; no one wanted to leave the dance floor. We also told them that we were going to 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!

If you want a party that your guests will never forget, look no further than Heatwave! Yoel is wonderful to work with and has such talented band members. From the second my husband and I entered the room, the party did not stop. I heard from guests 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!

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!

Truly.. the best ever . My dad is a musician and extremely hard to please but he told me the minute he heard this band he “got goosebumps”. They were perfect. At the end of the day (outside of my husband, family, friends, etc.) this band was the 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!!

Don't hesitate - HIRE Heatwave for your wedding!!! Heatwave was phenomenal at our January wedding, and kept the party going all night long. Every single person was on the dance floor, including relatives in their 80's and 90's! Art was wonderful 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!

I love these guys! I spent the night with people coming over to me on the dance floor shouting "THIS BAND IS AMAZING!" all night long. And still, a month later, I keep having people tell me how much fun they had at our wedding because the band 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.

I am so impressed with South Florida's Heatwave
Band. South Florida's Heatwave Band is incredible! We first saw them at another wedding. No one would leave the dance floor. Heatwave kept the crowd up and partying through the night. Art, Yoel, & 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!

This band flat out kills it. makes the party... wide range of talented singers w/ a range of music genres. super interactive and kept the dance floor full all night.
Art was super easy to work with and very professional and open to tailoring 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.

We had seen Heatwave at two weddings before our daughter's wedding and immediately hired them when the kids got engaged. Art was wonderful in listening to what we wanted and our guests told us they felt like they were at a concert! They were awesome ~ the dance floor was packed from beginning to end. 5 stars!!

I want to start out by saying that Art, the band manager and owner was very nice initially when he was first contacted. However, he never called back once my wedding day began to approach. I called and emailed several times and then finally he 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.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback. There are many things that go on behind the...
scenes which you may be unaware of. I would like to share some additional information from your event.
The guests entered the ballroom later than expected which made it extremely difficult to catch up to the original timeline however we did shorten our set break to attempt to get back on track. There were also other factors that were out of our control and we tried to remedy the situation by creating a fun atmosphere for the reception. I apologize if the bride was upset that I did not say goodbye at the end of the evening, I wanted to be respectful to her since she was busy tending to her guests.
With over 35 years of experience and from all of our other reviews, you can see we put our hearts into every event to make it the very best it can possible be.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for having us be a part of your wedding and wish you fruitful and prosperous future.

Heatwave gave us an absolutely awesome performance at our wedding last weekend!!! We've gotten more compliments about the band than we can count. Everyone at the wedding had such an amazing time. From the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception, the band kept the party going all night long -- nobody wanted it to end!!

South Florida Heatwave is simply amazing! We were married on 12/7/14 at Broken Sound Country Club. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, we could not have been happier with how incredible SF Heatwave sounded. There wasn’t 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

Heatwave's reputation as one of the BEST bands in Florida did NOT disappoint! Every element that goes into a wedding is important but if the music falls flat, the wedding will be a disaster. My daughter's wedding rocked literally. The dance 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!!!

From the first song to the last, Heatwave kept everyone at our wedding out of their seats and dancing! The music is fabulous...the bride and groom were so thrilled with the entire evening...we didn't want them to stop! Art is terrific to work with...I would use Heatwave for any future event I might have...they are the best band in town!!!
