“I could fill a ballroom full of superlatives to describe how incredible Heartdance performed and injected such musical vitality into our wedding day. Together, with the beauty of the Don Cesar Hotel, Joe Yazbeck and the Heartdance Band really delivered a gorgeous ceremony with beautiful music, created a cocktail hour with elegant ambiance, MC’d our reception with perfect style and delivery and then proceeded to totally wow our guests with absolutely the best live music. And how we danced! Thank you so much for not only far exceeding our expectations but making our wedding day so very special.” B & T Henry - Tampa, Fl

Hi Joe...

“WOW - what a FANTASTIC event that was on Saturday - thank you so very much for making it so wonderful and so much fun. You were all fantastic.

I have been surveying the people that attended and one for one they have said how much they enjoyed the band - so it is unanimous - we all loved you guys!

I have booked the room again for the same Saturday next year - and we would love to have you all play again on that night if you are available?” Jude Barnes, Director, Clearwater Academy (Fundraiser)

“Dear Joe, We wanted to send to you and your Heartdance band our deepest heartfelt thanks for being the perfect compliment to our Wedding Celebration. It was truly a magical evening with much thanks to you and your band!

You and your band’s flexibility and breadth of musical styles were amazing. You not only have the top level of musical talent that we expected from a highly recommended professional band, but you went beyond our expectations in terms of your ability to connect with us as a couple and all of our guests. The variety of music and styles kept our guests entertained the entire evening; not an easy task when our guest list included ages 7 to 70. And the vocals were awe inspiring! We will always have that special feeling in our hearts and souls thanks to you.

Your ability to also act as emcee for our special event was quite evident. You expertly kept the flow of the evening moving with just the right balance of fun and seriousness. You were also invaluable to us in terms of the actual planning of the evening’s events. Your suggestion of the acoustical jazz guitar during the cocktail hour was wonderful. And the breadth of musical options you offered us for the reception was vast and impressive. We were delighted with Heartdance’s magical contribution to our Wedding Celebration and would highly recommend you to anyone who is seeking the perfect compliment for their special occasion. With our heartfelt thanks, Judi and Jeff Snyder, Oldsmar, FL

Dear Joe: We would like to sincerely express our appreciation for the wonderful music Heartdance provided at our wedding reception, held at the Bayou Club on October 27, 2006. It was an exceptional evening of music. We have heard nothing but rave reviews about Heartdance, which set the perfect tone during cocktails and dinner. All of our guests had a grand time as the full dance floor clearly showed. It was an amazing wedding reception, and you and your musicians played a very large and important part of a perfect evening celebrating our wedding. Joe, your vocals were just outstanding!

We both appreciated your professionalism and the generous sharing of the talent of Heartdance's musicians. We would hire Heartdance again in a nano-second and will recommend you to anyone at anytime. Dick and Denna Sheiben Largo, Florida

“Dear Joe,

Thanks again for helping to make the recent Halloween Party at Carlouel Yacht Club such a great success. The Heartdance Band put on a spectacular show that was enjoyed by all that attended. You blended a wide variety of different music in a seamless fashion that was fun to listen and dance to. You generated a lot of enthusiasm from our group and had people of all ages up on the dance floor. The extra touches of having the band wear costumes and throwing in songs like the "Monster Mash" were noted. Liz and I appreciated your flexibility and the band's willingness to take special requests and change gears to play songs that matched the mood of the crowd. You made a wonderful evening that much better. The band's performance was recognized by both the revelers and the staff, and I'm sure this will not be the last time you play at the club.” Dr. . & Mrs Paul Phillips, Indian Rocks Beach, Florida

Dear Joe, thanks you very much for providing your four piece jazz group. They were absolutely wonderful. The music was terrific with lots of great compliments. We appreciated it so much. Sandy McLaughlin, Lighthouse of Pinellas (Fundraiser)

Thank you so much for the wonderful performance Heartdance put on at our wedding. I highly recommend Heartdance for anyone wanting to enjoy live music. You really delivered. We had no idea how good you all sounded. Wendy & Eric P. Tarpon Springs, Fl.

Joe, You and your band did a phenomenal job performing at our event. One of the most important attractions at any special occasion is the music. Your band made our evening special by playing a great variety of music genres. The mix of instruments combined with eloquent and soothing vocals made us all wanted to join in the fun. All the musicians were in professional attire and it was very evident that they enjoyed performing as much as we enjoyed listening to them. Joe, thank you for your willingness to customize the evening so that everyone could enjoy the music regardless of their music preference. I would recommend your band to anyone who is looking for a classy and highly talented band to make their occasion not only special but one to remember.
