Ariel Entertainment

My wife and I were absolutely thrilled with the performance that Ariel Entertainment gave at our wedding! We had the reception on a Yacht that cruised around Manhattan. We were concerned with the logistics involved with a live band playing on different decks at different points of the evening, but Ariel went out of their way to coordinate everything in advance to deliver flawless performances the entire time! Also - the flexibility of their music stylings was wonderful. My wife and I were very particular about what we wanted played and worked very closely with the band leader (Elizabeth) on the setlist. While they can perform music from all different eras, we mainly wanted dance music from the last few years. Ariel was able to perform live and professional renditions of VERY current hits like "Empire State of Mind", "On the Floor", "Tik-Tok", "Just Dance" and many more. Our guests were blown away with how current and fresh Ariel keeps themselves! No other band's showcase we saw was able to compare. Stop shopping around! Go to one of Ariel Entertainment's showcases, see how great they are for yourselves, and book them for your wedding today!

Awesome

What a band! Elizabeth and her team gave us an unforgettable day. People still haven't stopped talking about how awesome Ariel was for our big day. The flute and keyboard was beautiful during our ceremony, just what I had imagined. The band really listened to our request not to overpower conversation during dinner and crank it up after the main course. EVERYONE was on the dance floor. It was amazing and what you always hope will happen when you're planning the day. What great voices and perfect renditions of the songs. I will always remember the songs I danced to with my family and friends on our special day. We gave Ariel quite a challenge with our song and Elizabeth told me that they had practiced it a lot, but it wasn't where she wanted it to be. We went with the recorded version (that they had edited for us- wonderful) and I was so appreciative of her honesty. We had a few hiccups in the planning but worked through the issues with Elizabeth to find a solution for both parties. While Ariel was more than we had originally budgeted for our band, we now know it was worth it- they really made the party! Thank you to Elizabeth and Ariel for making our day not just memorable for us, but for our guests as well.

We had an 8-piece band for our reception (3 vocalists, keyboard, drums, bass, guitar, and saxophone), and they played the whole range of music from ballads to motown to pop dance FLAWLESSLY. But, the performance only was the icing on the cake. Well before the date, Elizabeth responded IMMEDIATELY with poise and helpfulness to a multitude of requests--from a special reception entrance song to a incorporating a special family sing a long (yes--it was a unique request) in the reception... and lots of other small details that made the wedding celebration uniquely ours. She and the other vocalists did a costume change that made things extra special, and the motown set just blew us all away. My LARGE extended family commented on how GREAT the band was--how well they timed stuff/ how they got people dancing/ how flawless and professional the sound was (none of the out of key or slightly off rhythym or weirdness I've heard with other places). And everyone danced--all three generations of us, including my husband's fairly reserved parents, an accomplishment. More than one person said that the wedding celebration was one of the best they had ever gone to. On top of this, the price was perfect for our budget and a bargain for an element of the celebration that, in my opinion, with the food and open bar, makes or breaks the party. Thank you for making our night memorable and for making us leave the celebration worry free and happy that everyone had as good a time as we did. I would not have created this account and given such a glowing review if you did not deserve it!

This band is beyond fantastic. They blew the roof off at our wedding; I have never seen so much energy in one room at a time, people were on the dance floor non-stop, which is exactly what we wanted! The vocalists were all stellar, and were individually fantastic, but together there was just amazing charisma. They had costume changes too, that really gave an extra something special to the evening. My husband and I planned very closely with the band leader-we discussed which genre of songs to be played at which times throughout the evening, which is pretty normal, but even our wedding planner was impressed with how specific they were about timing details between meals. At the last minute, literally a week before the wedding, we decided to have an after party. I asked the band if they could also DJ, and without batting an eye lash, they did. They asked for songs that we'd like to play, and had absolutely everything we wanted. I'm thrilled that I got them for the extra time. Everybody commented about the band, and rightfully so! Yay Ariel Entertainment!

It is easy to see (and hear) why Ariel Entertainment is the very best. We had our wedding at Highlawn Pavilion on June 11, 2011 and started searching for music options 3-4 months before. We met with several bands but Ariel was the clear choice to go. From the very start, Elizabeth showed professionalism, understanding and interest in our wedding. We attended one of Ariel's showcases and booked Ariel the next day. Elizabeth was very responsive in working with us to plan our reception. Which brings us to our wedding day. Everyone was blown away by their talent. Their singing lineup has got to be the BEST out there (no joke, some of their renditions are better than the originals). The whole band brings energy and sounds amazing live. Ariel did a good job of playing a mix of music and making sure to play some songs we requested. I thought this was a cliche, but guests really were coming up to us and telling us how fantastic the band sounded. Ariel was a crucial part in making our wedding a success. We would highly recommend Ariel.

Ariel played at my wedding reception and they were amazing!!! Our guests have not stopped raving about how great the band was. Ariel had my guests on the dance floor all night and played a great mix of music to keep everyone happy. They are very talented and created such a great atmosphere for our wedding. They were also willing to accommodate all of our special song requests. Elizabeth was wonderful to work with - she is responsive and helpful and truly loves what she does.

Words cannot express what an amazing job Ariel did at our wedding. I cannot think of ever experiencing an evening more perfect, and your band was a main piece of the puzzle. From your seamless breaks, to your Korean songs, to your overwhelming professionalism in the face of an ever-evolving evening of music, Christina and I could not have envisioned entertainment that was more perfect. Thank you for an absolutely unforgettable night!

The band was just amazing.. they kept the whole crowd dancing on their feet until the reception ended.. They were flexible to adjust the type of music depending on the response. It was a good mix of current hits and the not-so contemporary ones and everyone was able to relate to their music. Highly recommended!

Ariel did an amazing job at our wedding! They kept everyone of all ages dancing all night and played all of the songs we wanted. They were extremely professional and were always quick to answer any questions. My husband ended up performing a surprise song with Ariel and it was perfect. Choosing Ariel was one of our absolute best wedding decisions!

We were married October 9th, 2010 and hired Ariel Entertainment for our wedding band. They were off the hook amazing! Extremely easy to work with. Elizabeth Greene, the manager is great to work with, makes everything so simple for you and caters to your every need. They really worked with our budget and accomadated all the songs we wanted to hear. Not only were they the songs we wanted to hear, but we felt like we were at a concert. Everyone danced all night, it was the best night of our lives and Ariel Entertaiment made it even more special then we could ever imagine. Special thanks to Taileen, for learing Dodi Li a hebrew song, which is not her language and sang so beautifully as I walked down the aisle. In addition super special thanks to Taileen for learning Starlight, by Muse for our first dance. Every single member of the band is extremeley talented and they are worth every single penny. I am still getting phone calls telling me how amazing our band was. Thank you for making our wedding so special!!

Ariel Entertainment was spectacular!! Elizabeth and the rest of the band members were so professional and easy to work with. They made our reception incredible and many of our guests came up to us and said that they were the BEST wedding band they have EVER seen. I cannot say enough positive things about Ariel and I would recommend them to anyone who is considering a band for their wedding day!!

They are amazing! My guests couldn't stop saying how great they are!!!

We booked Ariel for our wedding and they were amazing! I seriously can't say enough about how great the band is. Kevin learned our first dance song and it sounded wonderful. THe band had people dancing all night long. People didn't sit down! Our reception was on the hot side because the AC wasn't working that great and people didn't care, they just kept on dancing. The members can sing everything from motown to hip hop with such ease. They are worth every penny and made our wedding memorable and fun! Definitely book them.

Ariel Entertainment, Elizabeth and the members of the band are amazing! We had the BEST time at our wedding and the music made the party! Ariel was recommended to me by a friend who attended a wedding where they performed. She said they were terrific and urged me to look into booking them for our wedding. I have to say I was blown away. They exceeded all expectations. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and asking for more at the end. These guys will give you an amazing experience!

I'm the bride: Our caterer and coordinator recommended Ariel to us, and we could not have been happier - they MADE our wedding for us, and I'm not exaggerating. We had 200 people in a tent at a private estate in Connecticut. The band's crew came to set up very early, they provided cocktail music and the party band - 12 pieces from Power Play, one of Ariel's bands. Elizabeth from the company coordinates all the bands personally - you can email her or call her at any hour and she is always attentive, professional, and knows what she's doing. The band was incredible - each musician an artist, the singers were GREAT, and I swear, I'd never have thought that a wedding band could go from Nat King Cole, to the Stones, to U2, to Lady Gaga in one set, but they did and everything was amazing. We had the time of our lives because of this band. They're wonderful - hire them - they are worth every penny. There are only two things you need for a great wedding, alcohol, and a killer band - these guys will get you 50% of the way there.

Ariel entertainment was the absolutely perfect band for my wedding! The only direction I provided them was that I wanted my guests on the dance floor all night long! Ariel Entertainment did just that! They played music for everybody, and for every age group. The compliments I received from my guests on the band choice ranged from everything to: "They played every song so well, it sounded like the CD!" and "There were times where I would go to sit down, and I'd get right back up again". I would recommend Ariel Entertainment to any bride for a wedding celebration!

The feedback we received from our guests was overwhelming! They loved Ariel Entertainment! My husband and I enjoyed planning our wedding with them as they were so happy to make suggestions and even performed our song before one of their showcases for us to hear. The lights were fabulous and really made the band special. They were super professional, friendly, knowledgeable, prompt to emails, incredibly talented. We particularly liked the fact that 5 of the members performed various songs giving a real variety and depth to the songs performed. It was like having 5 lead singers! We were thrilled and would recommend them wholeheartedly!

WOW!!!! OUTSTANDING, FABULOUS, TALENTED - every single song...this group made our wedding reception!!! We had such an incredible, partying time - their sound is truly amazing. Working with Elizabeth, a breeze....whatever we wanted, she and the band delivered. The vocalists were so pure - Everyone kept commenting on just how FABULOUS the band was - some thinking it was a DJ playing the songs - their sound is so TRUE!!! We only wish we had another celebration to hire them for!!!

We had Ariel Entertainment at our wedding and they were amazing! We had so many guests compliment us on our choice and the dance floor was packed all night. They learned a song that is special to us for our first dance and they played it perfectly. I would highly recommend them for your party as they exceeded our expectations and helped to make our night perfect!
