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. They 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.

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!

AWESOME Wedding Band!
Sweetbeats was an AWESOME wedding band!! They were great to work with from beginning to end. Sergei was knowledgeable about all necessary details to make our wedding reception for 185 people a really fun party, and the band did not disappoint. What a blast!! The songs played were terrific; the lead female vocalist, Shanelle, had an incredible voice, and Ahmad the male lead got everyone on the dance floor and took some great video.
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.
response 12/03/2024
Hi Eliza,
Wow, thank you so much for such an amazing review! We’re so happy to hear that ...
you and your guests had a blast at your wedding. 🎉
Shanelle, Ahmad, and the rest of the band had such a great time performing for you—it was such a fun crowd, and seeing everyone on the dance floor was just the best! We’re so glad we could help make your reception everything you hoped for.
It really means a lot to us that you’d recommend The SweetBeats so highly. Wishing you and Kevin all the happiness in the world—and hopefully, we’ll get to see you on the dance floor again someday! 💃🕺
All the best,
Serge

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 having 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!

SweetBeats was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with, and when our wedding day came, they rocked at the reception! They listened to our requests and had great song suggestions as well. Guests raved about the band that night and also the next day. People had so much fun during the dancing and it was impossible for guests to stay off the dance floor for very long. We also had their string duo play during our ceremony and they were fantastic.
We would highly recommend having the SweetBeats band play at anyone’s wedding!

The SweetBeats were incredible for our August 2024 wedding! Almost every guest came up to us at the wedding and the following weeks raving about the band - both their music, interaction with the crowd, and overall energy! They were so helpful in meetings leading up to the wedding, with great suggestions/tips/ and offering expertise. Half of the time at the wedding I had to look up to see if it was the band playing or the original version of songs - they were that good! They have a variety of song styles, tons of instruments and truly made for an incredible event. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a live band for an event. We love you - Sergei, UV and all of the SweetBeats band members!!!!

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!

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!

We don't know where to begin. The SweetBeats made our wedding day unforgettable! From us initially reaching out, throughout the planning phases, and up until our wedding day, they were supportive, organized, thoughtful, and communicative in ensuring the day was everything we had envisioned. The day of, they did not disappoint. Every member of the band was incredible and had the crowd (of all ages!) dancing all night. Nearly every guest came up to us after the night was over or in the following days to let us know how amazing the band was and how it was the most FUN wedding they have ever been to.

The SweetBeats Band truly made our wedding an unforgettable experience. It started with an exceptional cocktail hour (where my grandma loved the pianist) and then they beautifully handled our introductions into the reception. Throughout the reception, their ability to seamlessly transition between various popular music across decades, keeping the party alive with on-the-spot decisions, and flawlessly incorporating our special songs into the playlist made for an extraordinary night. Their enthusiasm was infectious, and they didn't just play for the crowd but joined us on the dance floor, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere. It's been months since our wedding, and our friends and family are still raving about the fantastic time they had and how amazing the band was. Our dream of spending the entire night on the dance floor with loved ones came true, thanks to The SweetBeats. We can't express enough how much we loved working with them – they were simply outstanding!!

The Sweetbeats Band absolutely rocked it!!!! We had so much fun and our guests did too (so many came up to us and told us that you were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen.) This band is SOOO talented and brings such fun and amazing energy. They absolutely crushed the 3 songs we asked them to learn (including our first dance to Robin Williams’ Angels which is no small feat)! They also let my dad play for a few songs which was the highlight of his life! We can't say enough amazing things and we're sooooo thankful.

These raving reviews are all 100% accurate. The Sweetbeats are in the absolute top tier of wedding bands. The dance floor was packed all night and there was a nonstop stream of guests telling us how much they love the band.
Every member of the band is extremely talented and great entertainers. From the tasteful piano renditions during the ceremony to the last song of the night, they nailed everything.
In terms of planning and logistics, every single part of the process was better than I could've hoped for. Sergei and UV were always responsive, great communicators, reasonable with negotiations, efficient with logistics, and listened to all of our questions and requests. And the wedding day itself was the perfect balance of us conveying the vibe that we wanted, while the band read the room and played the right songs with the right energy at the right time to keep the party going.
Seriously just stop reading. Your search is over. Book this band

The SweetBeats are amazing. My husband and I wanted a packed dance floor at our wedding in RI, and the SweetBeats delivered in a BIG way. Multiple wedding guests have reached out for their info to book them for their own upcoming weddings. At the time of booking, the total cost was a bit less (or comparable to) other top New England wedding bands we reached out to. I can't recommend them more (highly suggest adding a horn or two like we did)!

The Sweet Beats band is absolutely amazing! The musicians are all beyond talented and truly know how to put on a show! They had all our wedding guests on their feet dancing all night long. The band also took the extra step to learn our first dance song and they didn't skip a beat - it sounded even better than the original! We were completely blown away with how great their sound is. We know another couple who booked The Sweet Beats for their wedding and we cannot wait to see them perform again!

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!

The Sweetbeats were phenomenal!! From working with Sergei on all the logistics, to chatting with UV about the flow of the reception and which songs/tempo we were looking for, to the band and their infectious energy which kept everyone on the dance floor the entire reception, working with The Sweetbeats was just incredible and an absolutely stressfree joy! I received so many compliments from my guests about how amazing, talented, professional, accommodating and fun the band was. I would hire them many times over, they went above and beyond to make our day amazing! Thank you for everything Sweetbeats!!

The sweetbeats were incredible! Every single band member was incredibly talented. One of my favorite parts was how interactive the band was and when they showcased each member's talent. Everyone is still talking about how great they were. They did a great cover of our first dance song. During the ceremony I was so impressed with the guitarist. They also did an awesome job MC-ing the reception. We think they were the best wedding band we have seen so far! We were blow away by the sweetbeats and highly recommend them.

Phenomenal, worldclass, friendly and fun, these guys are the real deal. Let me tell you about the jazz-specific portion of The Sweetbeats: The Jazzlanders. They are professors of music 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.

You know you picked the right band when your uncle comes up to you on the dance floor asking for the band’s website so he can recommend them to his other friends.
The SweetBeats 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!

We loved working with Sweetbeats and would recommend them to anyone! We hired them for our wedding this June and had such an amazing experience. Leading up to the wedding, Sergei was 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!

Sergei and his whole team were absolutely amazing to work with! For my wedding, I used them for the ceremony (trio of strings), cocktail hour (3 piece jazz band), and the reception (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.

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!

The Sweetbeats are amazing!!! Absolutely hire them!
We had a duo perform during our cocktail hour and the full band for our reception and they were an unbelievable hit the entire time. All night people (even other vendors, who see lots of bands!) were telling us they had never seen such a good wedding band. Our dance floor was packed all night and we had so much fun.
It was a breeze to work with Sergei, and the band learned a song for our first dance. The musicians were professional and organized. For both the cocktail hour and the reception, the Sweetbeats created just the right atmosphere. We had been on the fence about a band or a DJ, but the energy the Sweetbeats bring can't be beat. We're so glad we chose them-- thank you!

Sweetbeats was the first vendor we hired for our wedding and we could not have been happier with our decision. They received high praises from other couples we know, and when we saw them at a demo, their energy, sound and performance, did not compare to anything else we had seen and they were booked immediately. Sergei their manager was extremely attentive to detail and accommodating during the pandemic, and keeping our happiness the priority. The night of our wedding, not one person left the dance floor, and it made the wedding absolutely what it was. I undoubtedly would recommend the Sweetbands over and over again!!!

The Sweetbeats did an absolutely incredible job at our wedding this past weekend. We had to change our original date and rescheduled to September and Sergei was so flexible and wanted to make sure the day was perfect for us.

As many weddings in 2020, we were forced to reschedule our large, dream wedding due to the global pandemic. With the anxiety and uncertainty of what was unfolding personally, I was so thankful I did not have to stress over rescheduling the most important piece (other than family) for my wedding, the band!! Sergei and The SweetBeats Band were beyond understanding and flexible, while we all navigate through these times. Sergei made this time as seamless as possible - I cannot wait for our dream wedding (and lets face it, the live band!!) in 2021!! Thank you for everything - one less thing to worry about :).

Sergei and the SweetBeats were incredible to work with and are an extremely talented group of musicians. Sergei was awesome to work with in coordinating all the details. The SweetBeats are an amazingly talented group of musicians who played an amazing set list to perfection. The band also learned two new songs at the request of bride and groom, both on very short notice. All of our guests couldn’t stop raving about how talented they were and how much fun they had. The band gets the crowd involved in the performance and comes out onto the dance floor with their instruments and makes it a one of a kind experience. Couldn’t have asked for more from the SweetBeats and Sergei!

You must be out of your mind not to book this band, especially for the price and the quality! We had gone through a bunch of bands before hiring The Sweetbeats for our wedding, some of them were good, but the price was about twice as much as The Sweetbeats. They truly were the highlight of the night, SO MUCH FUN! Almost all the musicians came out into the crowd at the different point of the night playing and entertaining. The crowd loved the interactions! Our friends are still talking about HOW GOOD THE BAND was and where we found these guys? I would highly recommend them for any events. They left us with a night to remember for many years!

We told Sergei about the music we wanted and also gave him the special songs for our dances to learn. On a day of they didn’t miss a single beat for any song! They played hit after hit that kept all young and old on the dance floor the entire night. The band leader Sergei was so great to work with leading up to the wedding. We’ve had a bunch of questions prior to the wedding and also conferenced with him over a phone a few weeks before the wedding. He eased all our worries and assured that our wedding will be great. On the day of the band exceeded all of our expectations! We would highly recommend them especially if you have a variety of people and different generations attending the wedding!

The Sweetbeats rock! As soon as the dance floor opened, every single person at the wedding RUSHED the dance floor and didn't stop dancing for the entire night! There wasn't a single song where people were sitting down. They are the best wedding band and entertainment group that we had ever seen, and we are overjoyed that we chose them to rock our wedding. The band knows what gets the crowd going and they interact with guests on the dance floor. We had countless comments after the fact, "THE BAND WAS AMAZING!" On top of the music, they are very professional. Prior to our the big day, the band manager, Sergei, made us feel very comfortable with our decision to choose The Sweetbeats. He was thorough, quick to respond and was very helpful with coordination. We are already trying to think of ways to throw a party and have them play for us again. I can't wait to make a trip to Boston to see them play. If you don't get The Sweetbeats for your wedding, you're doing it wrong.

Everyone knows the key to a fun wedding is the band and the music. Having locked down a date in August 2019, and the perfect venue in Newport, RI, our focus turned to searching for a band that was going to be high-energy and fun, have pretty wide range in terms of types of music they can play, obviously sound incredible, and have the ability to learn a couple of specific songs for key dances. 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. Thank you to Sergei and the band, you guys rock!

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.

We hired the Sweet Beats after seeing them at my friend's wedding in 2017. They did not disappoint. We had a packed dance floor our WHOLE wedding! We invited 220 people so the dance floor was overflowing. It was amazing! Sergei, the band director, worked with us before to come up with a reception timeline and is INCREDIBLY detail oriented. Everything went off without a hitch! The band learned my family's favorite song, Rock The Boat and brought the energy to the dance floor. I cannot thank the band enough and I hope to see them at the Green Dragon & friend's weddings in the future.

We are so happy with our choice of The Sweetbeats band for our wedding! They were so easy to work with and really brought our wedding ceremony and reception to the next level. Our guests can’t stop raving about how awesome their performance was 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!

They played our wedding in June and once again did an unbelievable job. Sergei was a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding — he is professional, organized, and detail-oriented. He made sure to run through everything with my husband and I, as far as special requests, itinerary day of, etc. The band is insanely talented and everyone absolutely loved them! They did a great job announcing and MC-ing before dinner and got everyone up and on the dance floor during their sets. I highly recommend The Sweetbeats for any event!

How do you even describe this band? The Sweetbeats are THE choice for your wedding band. Truth be told, our venue was running 30 minutes late. We were already short on time, and Sergei told the band to start playing. He snuck his way over to our table to explain the situation, and I so appreciated him taking command of the situation. He and the band were even kind enough to work with a special performer for the evening. My father said, "I have never been to a wedding where everyone literally hit the dance floor and stayed there." Not a single person was in their seats - dynamic, fun, engaging. Thank you for an unforgettable music experience!

Having GREAT music at our wedding was a priority for us and so we took great care in selecting the band for our wedding. We found the Sweetbeats from their rave reviews and they exceeded our expectations every step of the way! Sergei, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with, from the very first conversation! He was integral in helping us select our songs (we wanted some top 40 hits, but a lot of Motown and R&B) and we were SO happy with every single song the band played! They were a highlight of the wedding and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long! Months later, all my friends and family are still raving about the Sweetbeats. I have already passed Sergei's contact along to a few friends. Your wedding band really sets the tone for your reception, so I would suggest looking no further and contacting the Sweetbeats! I also think that for the amazing quality of the musicians that their pricing is very reasonable. Thank you Sweetbeats!
