Choosing Ariel as our band was the best decision we made for our wedding. All night long we had guests telling us how amazing the band sounded. They kept the party very up beat and the dance floor was packed, even with people we never expected to see dancing. The band sounded absolutely flawless. We loved everyone in the 8 piece band, particularly Kevin and Taileen who have spectacular voices. Elizabeth was so extremely helpful during the planning process and calmed my nerves every time I spoke with her. We can honestly say that Ariel made our wedding the best night of our lives.

Ariel is a great band. We saw them at a friend's wedding and immediately said we wanted to use them for our wedding. Elizabeth was very easy to work with and they were able to provide all of the music we needed for our wedding. They learned a special song for our father/daughter dance and they matched the tempo for our first dance exactly to the version that we had practiced to. Everyone was up and dancing at our wedding and Ariel made it a great event.

> Your wedding at The Rittenhouse Hotel was spectacular! You had an amazing team of professionals working together to make it so perfect. I can't wait to see the finished video. Your videographer captured the night so beautifully. It was a pleasure to work with you to plan all the details of your wedding!

Hiring Ariel Entertainment (as a 9 piece band) was one of the very best decisions that we made for our April 20, 2013 wedding. Several months before the big day, we traveled from midtown NYC to North Jersey to see them play their monthly showcase, and it only took a few songs for us to know that they would be the perfect fit for our party. Even with that preview, their performance at our wedding reception exceeded even our lofty expectations. The musicianship was outstanding and the three vocalists were incredible. As a result, the dance floor was consistently busy throughout the night, and literally dozens of guests came up to us specifically to tell us how great the band was. (We also used the keyboard player for our cocktail hour). Beyond the performance, we can't comment enough on how grateful we were to be working with Elizabeth, who worked hard to provide exactly the experience that we had hoped for. In a world where lots of wedding vendors are flaky, Elizabeth's quick responses and eagerness to work with us was extremely refreshing. She made sure that the evening was paced the way we wanted it (consistently high energy), gave us as much control as we wanted over choosing the song list (which is incredibly varied, although we featured a lot of motown -- had to take advantage of the great vocals and the sweet horn section!), and ensured that the band played a couple of songs not on the song list that we really wanted. In our experience, the music is one of the few things that people remember about a wedding. Thanks to Ariel Entertainment, we know that all of our guests will have great memories when they think back on our special day.

> Thank you for your wonderful review! We had a great time performing for your wedding at The NY Botanical Gardens. It's such a great space! Your song selections and fun-loving crowd made for a great night. Congratulations on a fantastic wedding celebration!

Amazing! We were thrilled with Ariel at our wedding. Everything we asked for and more was played. Elizabeth and all the band members were wonderful. Elizabeth was great in preparing for the wedding too. She made everything very simple and easy. She was great to talk to, and we were confident that the band would be entertaining and fun. I would highly recommend them for any big event. Pricing was very reasonable. Every one of our guests commented about how wonderful they were, which made us really happy!

> Thank you, Francesca! Your wedding was LOTS of fun. You put a lot of love and care into your planning and it made for a great night with lots of personal touches. Congratulations to you and Anthony!!

My husband and I hosted our daughter's wedding on Saturday evening, Oct 27, 2012 and Ariel Entertainment was our band. WOW!!!! The music was FANTASTIC!!! I have been to many beautiful weddings but I have NEVER heard a band as good as Ariel. We had 140 guests and virtually everyone was up on the dance floor. Our guests raved about the band after the wedding. Ariel Entertainment played a great mixture of songs to appeal to all ages. Elizabeth put a great deal of time into gathering the info she needed from bride, groom and me in order to give us the mix of music we wanted. Her musicians and singers are just tops. We could not have been happier. In our opinion, you couldn't find a better band than Ariel for your own wedding.

> It's true. Your daughter's wedding was flawless. We were so happy to be a part of everything from the piano and flute for your ceremony to the jazz trio at cocktail hour to the 9 piece band for the reception. The planning was superb. It was a pleasure to work with you on all the details. I am thrilled with how well everything turned out!!

We love this band! They made our wedding so much fun. All our guests still can't believe how great the band was and how much fun they had on the dance floor. Elizabeth Greene, the band leader, is so incredibly professional and responsive. She was really great to deal with and kept us on track from a planning perspective. She really knows how to keep the evening flowing at the proper pace and is an absolute pleasure to work with. This band takes the time to really understand what you are looking for in terms of the tone for the wedding and they execute flawlessly. We initially hired Ariel with 8 piece band and then we added an extra singer and trumpet player and they rocked! They were all so amazing and had such a great range of music including really current and fun pop songs. They are constantly updating their song list to include the latest hits which is very impressive and they have a great range of all types of music from all decades. I loved how much input we had into the song list that was played at the wedding and their interaction with our crowd. They played our wedding song fabulously and it is not really a popular wedding song so I was really impressed with how they performed it. Also, talk about getting the crowd up and on the dance floor, this band had all our guests on the dance floor with the first song of the night and they never left the dance floor. It was so amazing. Ariel really brings the fun to the wedding and the talent is top notch. They also played during our cocktail hour which was lovely. This band is very talented and knows how to entertain! I couldn't be happier with our selection. Also I thought their pricing was very reasonable considering the level of talent and the size of the band compared to other bands we looked at, a true value in my opinion. Definitely check them out if you are looking for a great band!

We hired ARIEL for our son's wedding after hearing them at a friend's wedding. They were absolutely FANTASTIC!! From the ceremony music to the very last dance at the reception, they were outstanding! All the band members are extremely talented musicians and consummate professionals in every way. Also, it was a pleasure dealing with Elizabeth Green, the band leader. She was responsive to our every wish to ensure that my son and his bride had the wedding of their dreams! If you are searching for a really exceptional band to make your wedding the event of the year...look no further, the clear choice is ARIEL !!

Ariel Entertainment ROCKED THE HOUSE! We had our wedding at the Crest Hollow Country Club on an absolutely beautiful Saturday evening in June and they provided us with excellent entertainment for our guests. Elizabeth, the band leader, worked with us prior to our wedding to make sure every little detail was perfect and made the time to chat with us on a number of occasions prior to the event. She was able to learn a few songs for us, which was also very nice (one even in Italian) and fulfilled her promise to make our wedding a happy, upbeat party. Our guests were also very impressed and have asked about them for their weddings. We also appreciated Elizabeth’s willingness to help us with coming up with different songs for each part of our wedding (Mom/Groom dance, our dance, etc.) and helped piece together a very cohesive order to the night, given we had a few special parts to our wedding.

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!

Excellent choice for a wedding band. Our guests loved the variety in their performance. Elizabeth was great to deal with and helped us perfectly place our song choices. They were flexible with last minute changes. They have a great collective energy and get the guests dancing.

Ariel Entertainment was such a pleasure to work with! The music was so great it really made the party. Prior to the wedding, Elizabeth coordinated all the music with me and she was so great to work with. The band even learned 2 songs for us which was really great and everyone at the wedding raved about the music!

The BEST wedding band EVER!!!!!!! I'm at a loss for words... I loved them SO much! Elizabeth was amazing throughout the entire experience. They learned 2 songs that weren't on the song list. This band is made up of the most talented musicians! I think we had 11 pieces... we just had to have them all!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!! I think I went to 3 showcases after we booked them just because I was obsessed! I listen to their demo cd all the time! I would pay money to see them play. They are on a whole different level... not your typical wedding band!

> Thank you Rebecca and Massimo! It was wonderful to see you at so many of our showcases. I loved having you in the audience, watching you almost bounce out of your seat with excitement! Bonnet Island Estate was magical. I absolutely loved the setting and the understated elegance of the building. Your wedding was as perfect as any we have ever had the good fortune to perform at. Note: Ariel performed for Rebecca and Massimo's wedding with our 10pc. band

AMAZING BAND!! My guests never sat down..never a dull moment! I worked with Elizabeth and we coordinated song after song. She created versions of songs for special dedications, and even brought along a study that sang one of my favorite new songs by Colby Caillat!!! Easy to work with - so flexible. All this band wanted to do was make sure that I was happy...job well done!!! Recently nominated as best band in 2008 on TheKnot.com!

> Thank you Melissa and Adam! Your wedding was non-stop fun. The spectacular stage and ballroom at The Carraige House created an impressive setting for a beautiful wedding. You were a pleasure to work with too! Thanks for the great review! Note: Ariel performed for Melissa and Adam's wedding reception with our 10pc band.

Ariel was amazing. My husband insisted on going to their showcase when I was already set on another band. Well, after seeing them live I dropped the other band and booked with them. They learned songs for us for our parent dances and the entire dance floor was packed all night. At one point when they sang "At Last" by Etta James, and my guests were in tears because how amazing it was sung. See them live to get the full effect!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Elizabeth and her band. They are an amazing band, plus they were great at managing time at our wedding. They made our wedding so much fun! People are still talking about how great our band was. Also, their rates are not too bad at all! Great investment.

Ariel Entertainment is great. They were a sensational wedding band. Elizabeth and the band was very flexible and even learned one of my favorite Jewish parody songs to sing during the hora. We also sent them a song to learn for our first dance and they learned it without any complaint. They are very accommodating. They were easy to work with and a real hit at the wedding. No one believed that I found them on the internet. Ariel Entertainment is fantastic!

ARIEL ENTERTAINMENT was PHENOMENAL!!! From planning to the actual wedding day, Elizabeth was extremely helpful. Since my bridal entourage was HUGE, and also names were really HARD to pronounce (most are foreign names), she made sure she had the right pronunciation of the entourage! And the guests were amazed that she got them right! ALL the songs they have played were great!!! EVERYBODY enjoyed every second of their performance. Many have commented that our band was the BEST BAND that they have ever heard at a wedding!!! And my husband and I totally AGREE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH Elizabeth! And please extend my appreciation to all the members of ARIEL ENTERTAINMENT!!! YOU GUYS WERE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! P.S. Elizabeth, you are really a pleasure to work with. You listened to all my recommendations, from the songs to the timeline. Thank you once again! =)

This is the best wedding band! Period! Book them soon! They MADE our wedding. Great song list, musicians and vocalists. My uncle wrote a song for our wedding that the band learned on the SPOT and played it like they had been playing it for years. They learned several special songs for us ahead of time and just made it so much fun. Highly reccomended!

What can I say... Ariel made the wedding! They are great, and very flexible. We did not want a formal wedding and Ariel understood our requests, and made the day even special. My guests had a great time, and so did we. My husband talked about them since we met, so we already knew the band we would get in case we have got married. Highly recommended. Book it now!

Ariel was great! Really great sound and the music kept the people partying. As my brother-in-law said, wedding bands have only one currency, did they keep people on the floor? Well the floor was packed. Fun, fun songs. They also played for me as I surprised my husband and sang for him and let my brother-in-law, a professional drummer, sit in for a song. They were exactly what I wanted.

> Thank you Gretchen and Matt! It was really fun to plan your wedding with you, with all of its special touches. I loved the setting at West Park Wine Cellars. It made for such an unusual and beautiful atmosphere. It was a moving moment when you sang, "Come Rain or Come Shine" with the band. You sounded great! I hope we can take a yoga class together one day! Note: Ariel performed for Matt and Gretchen's wedding as an 8pc band.

The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests kept coming up to us saying how great the band was... the ceremony musicians learned how to play an instrumental version of Coldplay's "Yellow" which was beautiful. Taileen's voice was AMAZING during our first dance to Alicia Keys "No One". Elizabeth was attentive and catered to our musical choices. Overall a great band who look like they are having a great time while performing.

Ariel did a great job keeping everyone (of all ages) on the dance floor. They played a great mix of oldies, slow songs and top 40. Everyone kept commenting on how amazing they were! They learned two songs (our wedding song and the groom and sister dance song) which they did a great job on. I marked them down on professionalism because they introduced one of our groomsman with the wrong first name and announced my husband would be dancing with his mother (who passed away) instead of his sister. We had discussed at great length beforehand that he would be dancing with his sister and I then reiterated the fact 5 minutes before when we were getting lined up to be introduced. Elizabeth did come over to apologize afterwards. Overall, Ariel is a great wedding band and we would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or a party!

Dear Elizabeth and the Ariel Band, We were so thrilled to have Ariel Entertainment for our wedding! Your professionalism and performance exceeded our expectations throughout the planning process and on our wedding day! Thank you, Elizabeth, for your patience with us as we negotiated and planned every detail. You made the whole process easy and really stress-free. I appreciate your willingness to let us have the freedom to make our own announcements and introductions. The evening was also flawless in terms of your timing and accommodating any last minute delays, etc. We were really blown away by Kevin and the Band's performance of our wedding song, So In Love, and the other special parent songs. We were amazed by the Band's ability to get everyone dancing- some people that hadnt danced for 30 or more years were grooving all night long....and my grandpa danced to the more contemporary hip hop songs with me and my cousins....that is a miracle! We would be happy to provide a reference for anyone who is contemplating booking the band as we were. We could not have been more pleased with Ariel. We wish we could do it all over again! Thank you so much, Becca and Brandon Keehn

I had a great experience with Ariel Entertainment. I used their services for both our ceremony and reception, and they were fantastic. For the ceremony, we wanted very traditional Jewish music and they were perfect. Our cocktail hour had more jazzy music, and we had a full nine piece band for the reception. They are extremely versatile and able to move from traditional music to standards to more modern music, and all of it was great. We had an afternoon wedding and I was concerned we wouldn't have a lot of people on the dance floor, but they were so upbeat, they kept people dancing all day. They are also very accommodating of special requests. My uncle wanted to sing us a song and, while the band didn't know the song, they were willing to learn the music and allowed him to perform with them. It was really a highlight our our day. Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with - very professional and responsive, and it was a very smooth process. I would recommend Ariel to any bride!

> HI Jessica and Adam! Ariel was so pleased to be a part of your special day. Your wedding reception at The Crystal Plaza was so beautiful, from start to finish. We loved backing up your uncle when he sang, "Some Enchanted Evening". He sounded great and the moment was very moving! Note: Ariel performed for Jessica and Adam's wedding with our 9pc band.

Our guitarist was excellent. Ariel Entertainment was a pleasure to deal with!

> Thank you Arlene and Robert! We're glad that you enjoyed the classical guitarist that we provided for your wedding ceremony. It was a lovely choice that made your ceremony elegant and unique!
