ay of bringing the energy and getting everyone off their feet. They were so interactive with our guests, it made the night feel so fun and personal. They knew that 2 specific songs were our favorites so they took both of them to the next level and it was truly sensational. It meant so much to us. Communication leading up to the wedding was seamless, and we felt completely confident that everything would come together perfectly... and it did. We can’t recommend them enough!

We had an outstanding experience with the SweetBeats Band for our wedding in Sudbury, MA last month. From the very beginning, Serge was so helpful in answering all of our question...
s, was incredibly easy to communicate with, and made sure we felt completely taken care of leading up to the big day.
About a month out, we met with the band leader, UV, and he was fantastic. He really listened to what we envisioned for our wedding and worked with us to create specific renditions for our special request songs/dances. His attention to detail and genuine care made us feel confident that everything would be perfect—and it was.
On the wedding day, the band absolutely blew us (and everyone else) away! We had countless guests tell us during the reception and afterward that it was the best wedding band they had ever heard. Their crowd work was incredible, their talent was obvious, and they brought an energy that made the entire night unforgettable.
Halfway through the reception, one of our guests suggested that the groom sing a special request for his bride. Without missing a beat, the band jumped right in and played the song on the spot. It turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of the night and something we’ll cherish forever.
We truly had the time of our lives and wouldn’t change a single thing. We can’t recommend SweetBeats Band highly enough!!

It was an absolute joy to celebrate with you and your guests, and we are so grateful to have been part of such a memorable celebration. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!

Sweetbeats Band is the BEST. We had 185 guests ranging from ages 14 to 85, traveling in from all over the world (NYC, Boston, California, Cincinnati, Miami, Mexico, Brazil, England...
, Ireland, Spain, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, South Africa, Russia, Israel, and more), and the dance floor was actually packed all night—people didn’t want to leave! We even had to move tables to make more room for everyone dancing.
So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard (even better than the super high-end NYC wedding bands). Serge and UV were incredible to work with throughout the entire planning process and helped tailor the music perfectly to our crowd.
Sweetbeats made our wedding unforgettable and unbelievably fun. We took a leap of faith because we didn't see them live before booking and it was the best decision we made for our wedding. We could not recommend them more!

It was such a pleasure working with you throughout the planning process, and we’re so glad we could tailor the music to fit your crowd and your vibe. Taking that leap of faith means a lot, and we’re thrilled it paid off and made your wedding so fun and unforgettable.
We can’t thank you enough for trusting us and for these kind words — it really means the world. Sending you both lots of love and happy memories from that amazing day!

ate with many entertainment teams, but The Sweetbeats Band truly stands out on every level.
From the moment the music started, the energy in the reception room shifted. Guests from all over the world—different ages, different backgrounds—were on the dance floor all night. The band didn’t just play music; they created a shared experience that brought everyone together. It was seamless, electric, and unforgettable.
Serge, UV, and the entire Sweetbeats team were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional, responsive, and incredibly open to tailoring every detail to match my couple’s vision. Their talent is undeniable, but what impressed me even more was their heart. Everyone cared deeply about making the night perfect, and it showed in every song, every transition, every moment.
As a planner, I can confidently say that The Sweetbeats is one of the best bands I’ve ever worked with. If you want a packed dance floor, effortless collaboration and communication, and a team that goes above and beyond—this is the band to hire.
I cannot recommend them enough. They made the night magic.

We’re so grateful for your trust in us and for giving us the creative freedom to tailor every moment to the couple’s vision. Knowing that the dance floor was full all night and that guests of all ages and backgrounds were connecting through music is exactly why we love what we do. Your guidance and communication as a planner allowed us to shine and make the evening truly unforgettable.

The Sweetbeats are a must hire and made our wedding reception the best party we could’ve asked for!
We saw them play at two other weddings over the years so we knew that the band ...
was incredible. What we learned after hiring them for our own wedding is that they were as great to work with in the build-up to the wedding as they were on stage. We had multiple calls with the band’s leadership throughout the planning process and they were accommodating to every request. They made sure that we were all on the same page, all of our questions were answered, and that we felt incredibly comfortable heading into the wedding. The band is very organized and has a worksheet for the couple to fill out that allowed us to be as detailed as possible and ensure that we had specifics for every stage of the day.
From acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour to showstoppers during the reception, the band absolutely kills it on stage. We worked with them on a general idea of how we wanted the setlist to flow and specified a few requested songs, and they executed perfectly, including a great hora. All of the musicians and singers are top tier and we had a packed dance floor the entire reception. Many of our guests complimented us on our choice of band and everyone had an amazing time.
We cannot recommend the Sweetbeats enough – hiring them was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding!

ic and the energy they brought. They even learned and performed our first dance song, which made that moment so personal and unforgettable. And witnessing UV (the band leader) jam out on the keytar? Truly unforgettable!!
We hired the SweetBeats for acoustic guitar during our ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail hour, and then the full 7-piece band for the reception...absolutely worth every penny! Every part of the day was elevated by their talent and versatility. The dance floor was packed all night long, and the joy and energy in the room were beyond anything we could have hoped for.
The coordination with Serge, the band owner, and UV, the band leader, was seamless. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, and their communication was excellent throughout. Every member of the band is incredibly talented, and together they created the perfect soundtrack to our celebration.
We are so grateful we chose them and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an unforgettable live music experience!

We were so happy to have Sweetbeats play at our wedding this past summer. Special shoutout to the drummer, Matt, whom I met through club ultimate frisbee and who first introduced ...
me to the band. After a few phones calls with the manager, I was convinced that they'd be a hit at our wedding...and we were not disappointed! The band is so personable and talented. They worked with us ahead of time to create a schedule and discuss song requests, and everything was so well executed on the wedding day. They had people up and on their feet immediately after dinner and until the very end of the reception. The musicians came out into the crowd and were quite dynamic. As the wedding day can be chaotic, we appreciated having the music/emceeing aspect so well taken care of and not having to worry about that at all. I would gladly have Sweetbeats play at a future event of mine and hope to see them play again soon. Highly recommend!

We couldn't be happier with our choice for Sweetbeats as our wedding band. We recommend them with absolutely no reservations. If Sweetbeats plays, your wedding reception will be fun and a huge success.

Sweetbeats absolutely made our wedding night unforgettable! They kept the energy just right with the perfect combination of songs, never veering into cheesy or boring territory. Th...
ey knew exactly when to interact with the crowd and when to let the party flow on its own, creating an amazing vibe all night.
Working with them was a dream—they were professional, responsive, and worked closely with our venue to ensure all approvals were in place and that they stayed within the decibel limits (which was a big deal since not every band could do that). They performed our first dance song flawlessly, adding an extra layer of magic to that special moment, and their music throughout the night perfectly captured who we are—timeless, old-school, but always ready to party!
One of the best parts was that Sweetbeats was consistent from start to finish; they didn’t rotate performers, so we really got to connect with them. They even provided a wonderful acoustic guitarist and violinist for our ceremony and cocktail hour, setting the perfect mood and seamlessly transitioning from emotional moments to full-on celebration mode.

The Sweetbeats Band rocked the Marriott Long Wharf Hotel this weekend for our daughter's wedding - they were off the charts fantastic!! The dance floor was hopping all night and ha...
ving so many of the band members down on the floor with us made it even more fun. They were very respectful about keeping the volume down during dinner as we requested but once the party started, every single guest danced the rest of the night! We can't recommend them highly enough - best band in Boston in our opinion! A key point to consider in choosing a band is that the Sweetbeats musicians have been together for many years and they play together at all their events vs switching different musicians in/out so you never know who you are going to get. Key difference than a lot of wedding bands out there!

If you hire one vendor for your wedding, make sure it's The SweetBeats!! If I could give 6 stars I would.
From start to finish, The SweetBeats were such a joy to work with. Prior...
to our initial call with the band, I didn't understand that the majority of wedding bands aren't really bands - just a roster of individual musicians who get paired together for each wedding. Sergei, The SweetBeats manager, told us that one of the many things that sets their band apart is that they are in fact a band with the same musicians for every event. This was so evident on our wedding day as their chemistry was unmatched.
Coordination with Sergei leading up to the wedding was professional, seamless, and timely. Music is very important to my husband and I, and we went back and forth on whether to hire a band or DJ because of our specific music taste. Sergei took all of our preferences into account, and the band has an impressive roster with hundreds of songs from varied genres beyond your typical wedding music. On our wedding day, they absolutely nailed our taste perfectly, playing a wide range of songs from all our favorite genres.
The band FAR exceeded our already high expectations, and our dance floor was overflowing for the full 2 hours. My husband and I only left the dance floor once for a 5 minute break, and we didn't even see the bar at our wedding because we didn't want to miss one moment on the dance floor!
Our guests were absolutely wowed by the band, and we received endless compliments about their talent and energy and how downright fun the wedding was.
The band also learned three songs of our choice (all were very different genres) and they sounded even better than the originals. We couldn't get over the talent of not only the musicians, but also both vocalists.
We can't stop talking about how amazing The SweetBeats are, and can't recommend them enough if you want the most fun, memorable wedding!

Hearing that you didn’t want to leave the dance floor is the best compliment we could receive! We're also grateful for your recognition of the effort we put into learning your special song choices.

We had a summer destination wedding at The Wilburton in Vermont this July. We really wanted a classy/bougie dinner vibe as well as an awesome high-energy dancing bash as the night ...
went on. SweetBeats delivered on both! I can’t rave highly enough about their professionalism, classiness, and their dinner set was amazing. Exactly what we wanted. What I really liked about band leader UV was that he was very open to all of my particulars and special requests, even allowing me to create a larger than usual “do not play” list. He gave very reasonable pushback and recommendations on a couple things when it made sense and the band delivered on everything, including the management of our Spotify playlists for specific moments throughout the evening, and also their expertise at reading the crowd and bringing their energy to the crowd in the perfect way. We did a special “flash mob” type dance thing with some of our guests and a couple unique songs to transition from dinner into dancing, and they executed it perfectly. AND they learned a special song of ours to end the night on that was fantastic. Chanel sang the hell out of “Always Remember Us This Way” by Lady Gaga. We loved it.
So much more I could say but honestly, they were great, and all of our guests loved them. And we had a WIDE range of generations. 108 people at the wedding, A bunch of teens and 20’s (our kids and their cousins), a bunch in their 40’s and 50’s (us & our friends!), and some in their 70’s and 80’s (our kick-ass parents!). Also, we added the full horn section, which I highly recommend. They were great. Thanks for helping us celebrate a great weekend, SweetBeats!

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 agi...
ng 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!

usic at Berkley Conservatory in Boston, top-tier professional jazz 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.

absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Every single person who was there came up to us after and said how much fun they had dancing. We were on the dance floor the ENTIRE night and no one wanted them to stop playing.
On top of all that they were really easy to work with. After just a few calls they seemed to have a really good feel for what we were looking for and boy did they deliver!

as incredibly responsive, asked really great questions and always gave thoughtful responses. We never had to worry about whether something was taken care of, Sergei was on top of it. Leading up to the wedding UV was just as lovely to work with and so easy going! We had them play during our cocktail hour as a 3 piece band and during the wedding as an 8 piece band. The band crushed it! They got everyone on the dance floor, interacted with us and made the whole night a blast. Super talented band and so lovely to work with - thank you Sweetbeats!

(9 piece band) – the band went above and beyond what I expected. I got so many compliments about the music and UV, my particular band director, was amazing. He was easy to contact and took the stress out of everything. They didn’t have a specific setlist for me, he was able to just figure out what genre everyone was enjoying, which was so awesome! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great band in the Boston/Cape area.

SO talented!! My family (many of whom are working musicians) were extremely impressed and asked us several times how we found such a great group of musicians. We would definitely work with them again!

I cannot speak highly enough of the Sweet Beats Team! Sergi and his team are truly one of a kind, not to mention talented!
As a wedding pro, I'm always looking for professional, ...
punctual, well spoken MCs, who know their way around with music, which means not only taking into consideration the couple's fav music, but also reading the crowd to keep the dancefloor moving!
Very much looking forward to seeing their name on the roster again!
