The heartbeats were INCREDIBLE!! If you’re looking for a fun band with great energy, they’re your people. The only time people left the dance floor is when they took a super short break. Zack made sure our every wish was grated and is really easy to work with! We could not recommend them enough!!
They provided excellent service: communicated clearly, pleasant, professional, quality performances and overall an outstanding group. I highly recommend them!

They are a high-energy group with an eclectic catalog including classic rock, Motown, disco, and country, as well as throwback songs and the biggest hits of today. When the Heartbeats start pumping on your wedding day, they promise plenty of crowd interaction and a full dance floor throughout the day and night.
Vastly Experienced and Always in Control
The Heartbeats feature multiple lead vocalists and can provide professional sound, tracks, live instruments, and a fully synchronized light show to enhance the magic of your special occasion. Imagine the energy and production of a concert, but entirely bespoke and dedicated to your and your partner's happiness. Zack Hawes, the drummer and band leader, has seen it all before, and he will be the one behind the scenes making sure every detail is perfect.
From the First Song to the Final Encore
If you wish, The Heartbeats can be there throughout the wedding day, from the ceremony through cocktail hour and the reception. They are such a diverse band that they offer an acoustic set for your walk down the aisle, featuring a solo piano and violin to set the mood. Then, during cocktail hour, your guests can sip and mingle to the backdrop of a mellow DJ set before the energy begins to increase and the dance floor beckons. Reach out to Zach today and find out why his band is the Heartbeat of the wedding music scene.
