The message is simple, The SweetBeats are an elite-tier wedding band, and you should hire them immediately. For some context - our wedding was ~130 people with about 50% being aging family members, and the remainder being our young friends. We...
knew we'd have to strike a balance between appealing to our friends and our family. Both during and after the wedding, numerous guests were blown away, and The SweetBeats were nothing short of spectacular. We went with their 7-piece band arrangement, and oh-my-god, it was mind blowing. They captured the range of our guests, and the dancefloor was packed the whole reception. My 83 year old grandmother had to occasionally be pulled over to some chairs for water breaks because she did not want to leave the action. They played the best version of classic songs like 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough', 'All the Small Things', and 'Billie Jean'. The SweetBeats have tremendous range, and are so playful. At one point a tie was stretched across the dancefloor for a limbo line, and the guitarist, while playing a solo with his teeth, decided to limbo through into the crowd. I have never seen anything like that before. From the start of the process with Sergei and UV answering our questions, to discussing our timelines which we had down to an insane 10-minute intervals, and collaborating on a playlist with the tone of songs we were hoping to have, the band was so easy to work with., and they definitely made our wedding the best day of our lives. Sergei, UV, and co - thank you so much!

zz musicians who teach the craft, have played the world over, published, and won awards. And what do they do for fun?? They play weddings! It was an unbelievable privilege to work with Dave and the guys. We hired a 5-piece band of keys, drums, alto sax & clarinet (one guy), tenor sax, and bass. Dave worked with us to make our Jazz Soirée Reception a reality: we got up and sang with them, from Andrews Sisters to Frank to Streisand and everything in between. They were kind, flexible, and simply phenomenal. Hire them and dance the night away - you simply won't find better musicians anywhere.

After doing a ton of research and watching a ton of bands we decided on the SweetBeats, and wow was that the absolute perfect decision. First of all, their band leader Sergei was incredibly responsive, very professional, and super easy to work with every step of the way. The contracting and planning process with him was a breeze. Most importantly though, SweetBeats showed up and absolutely rocked the wedding. They were a definite highlight of our dream wedding. We had a pretty specific vibe that we wanted out of the wedding music, and we were concerned that it would be difficult to pull off - basically we asked for non-stop high-energy party music spanning genres including classic rock, 80's, current pop, hip hop, etc. Additionally, we asked them to learn a couple of songs for our first dance and dances with parents. Well thank god that these guys are as talented as they are because they took our high expectations and absolutely exceeded them. They brought an incredible energy, had everyone dancing and partying the entire time, and their covers of songs were all perfect. We had a ton of guests comment that this was one of the best bands they've ever heard at a wedding and they were a definite highlight. I can't recommend Sweetbeats enough.

The Sweetbeats played for our daughter's wedding in NH in early August 2019 and were as amazing as everyone else has said. When they opened the dance floor, it was immediately mobbed and we were dancing for the four hours they played. Here are ...
some of the reasons they are so good: 1. Excellent musicians who are all there - they had so much infectious energy and enthusiasm plus amazing talent. 2. During the sets, they played without a break between songs - none of that awkward quiet when you're on the dance floor and unsure whether to stay or go while the band queues up the next song. 3. Totally read the crowd - we were not a slow dance crowd. They played one slow dance, most people stopped dancing and they never played another one again. 4. Songs covered a range of eras and genres - 5 year olds to 80+ year olds were dancing! 5. They inspired people to do dance moves that they might not have done since they were in their twenties. 6. They did an extraordinary job learning our requests, and played their fantastic versions of them - not the studio versions - and soared. My brother's comment: "I haven't danced in 15 years. This is so much fun!" Everyone raved about the music!!! My cousin's comment was that she wanted to throw a party just so she could hire and dance to the Sweetbeats.

and very impressed by the quality. We had a special (and somewhat complicated) request to play our First Dance song live and mash up an acoustic and full beat/band version in order to get some slow dancing but then use the same song to bring on the full energy of the dance floor (we’re not talented dancers so didn’t want to stay out there solo for very long). They made us look so good and we are very impressed by their performance. We highly recommend The Sweetbeats band!

you're considering a wedding band - here's what you'll get: -Sergei (band leader) - He's incredibly well organized and easy to work with. His response rate is fast (text, email, phone - he's got you quickly). He's very flexible and trustworthy - even when I made a few mistakes on my own end! He's got everything you need from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception. There wasn't a single moment where I thought that something could be off. -The band - They absolutely killed it. Knocked it out of the park completely. We had a 7 piece band (male and female vocal, guitar, bass, keys, drums, sax) - the sound and musicianship was incredible. They played every single song from my "DO play list" and avoided all of our "DON'Ts". They included some phenomenal renditions of fan favorites and even surprised us with a few remixes of songs that in all honesty were played better than the originals. The male vocalist may or may not have been Bruno Mars by the way he performed, and the female vocalist was hitting ridiculous notes. The instrument solos were lively and energetic. The band was on the dance floor frequently which made for an incredible dynamic that the guests were eating up. And the band looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves as well which is important in crowd dynamic. -Cost effective - the package that we got was extremely reasonable compared to other Boston-based bands out there. I've been in wedding season for the past two years, and I honestly can't think of other bands that generated that kind of performance for the fees we were quoted. Having the Sweetbeats play our wedding was a stress free option and I can't tell you how many guests would come up to us with glowing reviews, saying that the band "made their entire weekend", and I've never seen some of my friends and family dance they way they did. Trust in Sergei and the Sweetbeats - you won't regret it!

We hired The Sweetbeats for our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend The Sweetbeats for any event! As soon as I reached out for information, Sergei (the band leader) was extremely responsive and professional. He encouraged us to come see the band...
at a show--we went on New Year's Eve and booked them the next day, as Sergei sent the contract through immediately, even though it was New Year's Day. The planning process was extremely organized, detailed, and tailored to our musical taste. Sergei made sure we felt comfortable and even gladly accommodated a special request we had for my dad's best friend to sing "Fly Me to the Moon". The band accompanied his song and even played the song in the key of G Major, as requested by our guest, which is a great example of this band's talent. Each band member is a phenomenal musician, and as many of them hail from the esteemed Berklee College of Music, you can rest assured that the vocalists and instrumental solos will be top notch. On top of their obvious musical talent, this band knows how to put on a SHOW -- with vocalists and back-up musicians alike interacting with the crowd to create the perfect, impossibly fun and unforgettable night. We had The Sweetbeats perform the classical processional songs on the guitar at the ceremony and jazz standards on a grand piano during the cocktail hour in addition to the reception.

m. He was beyond meticulous and professional. Prior to the wedding he took the time to have another call with us and went over every detail to make sure he had a full understanding of how we wanted the announcements to go as well as the song lists. The musicians were so talented and professional and they sounded amazing. The band's energy and interactive nature really got the party going and set the tone for the evening. They had all of our guests up and dancing the whole night and everyone was raving about how amazing the band was. We are still hearing from our guests how our wedding was one of the best and most fun weddings they have ever attended and we believe that a big part of this is due to Sweetbeats!! I would highly recommend booking them for weddings or any other important events!
