Yelba’s Variety Band did an awesome job entertaining some very important clients and prospects at our corporate cocktail reception held in Grotto Downtown Houston’s private event area. I told the group that this crowd was theirs to entertain, and they deliver a great mix of rock, pop and even Latin music. They kept the crowd there for the full 3 hours of the event and had them dancing til the last song. I was able to focus on talking to my guests while Yelba’s band entertained them to the max. They may be the best party band I’ve ever hired!
Response from Yelba's Variety Band:
It was our pleasure, thank you for entrusting us with your clients! Great venue and wonderful buffet and staff.
They are so good and put on a fantastic show!
Response from Yelba's Variety Band:
Thank you for having us, and am glad you had a wonderful birthday and Yelba’s Trio could be a part of it.
Hugs,
Yelba
Yelba and her team played at our wedding this past October. It was such a special day for us, but Yelba really made it feel perfect by getting ALL our guests on the dance floor ALL night long!
They are so professional, kind, and punctual. They sound AMAZING live and people are still raving about the music/band at our wedding (I am also still on cloud 9).
I recommend Yelba 110%. Our first dance was split between "You Make My Dream Come True" by Hall & Oates and "Tu Amor me hace bien". Yelba ROCKED it. I think that just goes to show their talent- playing an 80's American classic song followed by Marc Anthony salsa. I am Colombian and my husband is from Austin so it was the perfect band for our wedding.
Thanks again Yelba & team, you guys are the BEST!!!
Response from Yelba's Variety Band:
It was our pleasure to work with you Alejandra, you made our day!
We hired Yelba's Variety Band for our wedding in January 2016 and were absolutely blown away by how great they were!
I must have heard at least 2 dozen positive comments about the band during the wedding and many more in the days following. Yelba's band is talented and really knows how to get everybody out on the dance floor. As a groom running around making his rounds trying to say hello to everybody every time I looked up I saw our guest dancing and having a great time.
In addition to their talent, Yelba was professional, quick to respond, and courteous during our communication prior to the event.
We went the route of planning the wedding our selves so we had to make a ton of decisions. By far the decision to hire Yelba was the best one we made.

Response from Yelba's Variety Band:
Victor, it was with pleasure we drove to Austin to perform at your wedding reception! I am glad the guests enjoyed the band's Variety and danced all night long! You were wonderful to work with as well, and I wish you and Natalie a life time of happiness!

Yelba and ("the Boys" ) Variety Band gave it all to our community dance.
We could not have received more rave compliments about the event ,which was a
return engagement. She mixes it up and shares herself with our diverse audience in such a way that all are having a night to remember. Thank you Yelba and see you soon again.
Fantastic mix of Latin and traditional rock n roll. Taught us Latin dance moves. Evening can best be encapsulated by her getting my ex-boss on the dance floor, as his wife turned to me and said "you know, he didn't even dance with me at our wedding!"
Response from Yelba's Variety Band:
Carmen!
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo! Que bendicion fue pasarlas con Uds.
Besitos,
Yelba
Wonderful band couldn't ask for anything better thanks Yelba you're awesome we are hoping to have you again next year...
