GOT Groove has the personalities that stick with you. A core of 9 pieces with 4 singers who's synergy is felt through any crowd, and horns totally engaged in the energy coming from the front line. Since GOT Grooves inception, they have been "different," and they had "it."

Similar to the other ultra luxury Artists in Blue Earth, they have taken these factors that you can't teach, and applied an approach that translates to any level event. Their diversity as a unit touches every generation, with the ability to change the perception of even the most overplayed songs.

If you’re looking for a group of insanely talented individuals who will keep you on the dance floor all night, look no further! Book G.O.T. Groove now! The booking process and communication was fantastic from day one. Whenever James and I talk...
wedding memories with friends and family…even now over a month later…they still talk about these amazing performers. James and I were so excited to have GOT Groove on our wedding day team, and they truly brought the party and more! I witnessed friends and family on the dance floor ALL night that I never in my life would have expected to see dancing, my hubby included! We could relive our wedding reception over again a thousand times, and not change one thing about our experience with these performers. They truly put on a show and made every one of our family and friends feel like a part of it! Thanks GOT Groove!
GOT Groove is an awesome band to book for your wedding! They are super fun and keep the crowd engaged and having a great time! The dance floor at my wedding was consistently packed with guests dancing the night away! They also did my second lin...
e from my church to venue which was an absolutely incredible experience. The management was easy to get in touch with and had fast responses. Would absolutely recommend.
We couldn’t have asked for a better group for our wedding band!!!! They were easy to work and communicate with. They played all of the songs we requested and even learned some new ones for us! We got SO many compliments from our guests. One of ...
our guests said that they had never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding, and they were so interactive and fun with the crowd! 1000% recommend GOT Groove for your event!
Any questions?
We had GOT Groove play at our wedding, and over a year later our friends and family still tell us how awesome our band was. They played a cover for our first dance and it was amazing. If you want a band with talented vocalists and high energy t...

Got Groove played at our wedding reception in October 2022. We had several people tell us how great they were! We even had one guest offer them a good bit of cash to play for another hour! They were EXCELLENT. Our dance floor was full the entir...

GOT Groove was incredible! Our dance floor was full the entire night. 10/10 would recommend and hire again!
GOT Groove was such a highlight of our night! The dance floor was packed all night long. After the wedding, they were all any of the guests could talk about. For us, they made everything easy, we literally just showed up! They did such a good j...
ob of matching the music to all the changing moods of the night doing everything from classic cocktail music and street jazz, to blues, modern hits and everything in between. What was also so special for us is they were able to expand and bring in a latin singer and percussionist which was a total hit for the blending of our families. Book em. You will NOT be disappointed!
Got Groove was AMAZING!!!! Our family and friends stayed on the dance floor the entire night which is exactly what we wanted. The band was one of the most, if not the most, important aspect of my reception to me and my husband, and they did not...
disappoint! I always say a band makes the reception and that could not be more true for Got Groove. We had so many people ask us after the fact who the band was, how to find them on social media, etc. Truly so awesome! Yomond sang our first dance song and our last "private" dance song and both were incredible. My dad and a few of my uncles got up there to play drums, sing, and play guitar for one song and the band members were right there with them movin' and groovin'! My step-daughter also loved them and jammed with the lead singers the whole night, even having dance-offs. Thank you to Got Groove, our wedding would not have been the same without you!
GOT Groove was an amazing part of our wedding experience! HANDS DOWN! Their energy was unmatched with the music selection. Nearly everyone of my guests made it to the dance floor at least once, if not the whole time to groove and dance the nigh...
t away. Even my 89 y/o grandma made it to the floor for a song or two. I, the bride, stayed in front of the stage nearly the whole night dancing away with my husband. I have had so many friends/guests ask who they were, where are they from and how did I find them!
BOOK THEM NOW! You will not regret it if you want a band to set the mood for your reception/special day!
TLDR: Book GOT Groove. Don't question or doubt your decision, they are AMAZING and I promise they will exceed your expectations. Me and my family care a lot about music (we have a ton of musicians in the family so I was STRESSING about this dec...
ision). I initially tried to book their brother band but the price was a bit out of my budget. At first I was worried about not knowing who would be our exact musicians were, but every single one of them was so talented and exuded excellence, I could not believe it. Half the time at my reception, I was literally standing in front of the stage with my jaw dropped in awe of how amazing they sounded. It was like being at our own personal concert on frenchman... except better. They even let me, my husband, and my bridesmaids on stage to sing a song with them for a song! Our three singers, Kentro, Colleen, and one other person whose name I didn't catch (sorry) were unbelievable. All of them gave me goosebumps and I wanted to be their friends! The energy was UNMATCHED and everyone at our wedding RAVED about how good they were, weeks after our wedding they are still a talking point for all our friends and family. They really knew how to work a crowd, get people hyped, and engage everyone; I was so worried that people wouldn't be dancing, but GOT Groove blew everyone away and you couldn't NOT be on the dance floor. I truly couldn't have asked for a better band and cannot thank them enough for the amazing experience and energy. I also couldn't believe they learned all of our first dance songs (which aren't really popular or well known) and sung them so beautifully. Johnny was also so easy to work with and always answered all of my questions; they made sure that we had all the audio equipment we needed for our ceremony (mics for our officiant/vows/for my brother who played the guitar and sang while I walked down the aisle). They're the whole package and will have your back for literally any audio need you have beyond just music; Truly don't look further, this is your sign. Book them as your band!
Book this band!!! One of the first comments about our big day was about how amazing GOT Groove was! They had the party going the whole time and the unexpected part was the interactiveness that was had. Everyone was having the best time and GOT ...
Groove was a huge reason for that. We just loved them!
I’m still dreaming about GOT Groove band we booked for our big day. They were INCREDIBLE. I’ve had 10 people ask me for their contact information. They sounded incredible and MASTERED our first dance song. They kept the party going all night. B...
ook them. You won’t regret it. Natalie and Paul Sansom- Jan 29, 2022, Riverview Room NOLA
BEST WEDDING BAND EVER! Hands down! We started talking with Got Groove during COVID pandemic, when seeing bands live was nearly impossible. We made the risky decision to move forward without hearing them, based on the many recommendations we’d ...
heard and I am so glad we did! I cannot express how many compliments we received during and after the wedding in regards to the band. They were so fun! So interactive! So entertaining!! Would recommend to any and everyone for any kind of event.
A M A Z I N G !
Don't think twice- just book them.
This band is so talented- all genres, all decades, a true crowd pleaser. We felt like we were at a concert with amazing music. All of our guests were up out of their seats dancing, and couldn...
't believe how talented the band was. None of us pictured "Sweet Child of Mine" as a wedding finale- but when the crowd chanted "one more song!" and the band asked us what we wanted to hear- we told them it was their choice. And man, it was awesome! We found GOT Groove through their sister band, but honestly it was a blessing in disguise that they were booked and we were able to have GOT Groove instead.
Best wedding band ever, hands down!
This band was hands-down the best part of our wedding! I cannot tell you how many friends and family members have said this is the best wedding band they've heard and that this wedding was the most fun they had been to. One of my friends had 3 ...
back-to-back weddings after ours and she told me that GOT Groove ruined other wedding bands for her because the other wedding bands couldn't compare to how amazing GOT Groove was. They managed to play every genre, kill each song, and get everyone on the dance floor. They can cover ANYTHING. Trust them--they feel the crowd and will know just what to play. We found ourselves listening Cardi B, Nirvana, Kanye West, The Temptations, Snoop Dogg, Ozzy Ozborne, Beyonce, Marvin Gaye, and the list goes on. They are also amazing at blending all these genres together in such a fun way. We were so sad when their set was ending--we have pictures of our guests bowing and applauding them. They finished off strong with an acapella version of Shout that had everyone stomping and singing, and then they played the music for our second line. Look no further!
GOT Groove was my favorite part of our wedding celebration! We hired GOT groove based on recommendation from our planner, who was backed by many 5 star reviews. Being from out of state, we had no clue what they would sound like but figured we c...
ould trust our sources.
THEY BLEW US ALL AWAY!
10 months later and people are still raving about the band from our wedding. We spent the entire night dancing and they kept the party going nonstop from start to finish. They also helped mic up the ceremony and played the recorded music we processed in and out to FYI. When our second line band stood us up, they quickly improvised and stepped in so we could still have the experience.
GOT Groove thank you for being so kind and so fun. I cannot recommend this group highly enough!
Where do I start?!? GOT Groove put on an amazing show! They were high-energy and had a great stage presence. The band knew when to play the right song at the right time. Their music kept our guests dancing all night long. We have received so ma...
ny compliments on the band! A number of our guests now want to book GOT Groove for their weddings. If you’re looking to have a good time and get people out on the dance floor, this band is the one for you.
Our Band - Got Groove- was fantastic!
They were great to work with, kept everyone dancing and we are still getting positive feedback from our family and guests weeks later!
Thank You so much for making Kelly and Austin’s day so special!

BEST BAND!! We hired G.O.T Groove for our wedding this past weekend and they were amazing! They truly made the wedding so special and brought the best energy. Everyone was talking about how amazing they were. I haven’t seen so many people danci...
ng in a long time.
Highly Recommend!! You won't want to sit out a single song! Every song keeps the dance floor hopping. Cannot say enough about this band's professionalism and ability to keep the crowd entertained all night!! We have used them for two of our chi...
ldren's weddings, and would book them again in a heart beat. So much fun!!
Booking Got Groove was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! They engaged the crowd, played music for all generations, and were the MOST fun band I’ve ever heard at a wedding, even if it was my own! They were so easy to ...
work with throughout the entire process, even adding in planning throughout a pandemic. They helped us work through all of the craziness and made our day even easier, while giving our day the most fun atmosphere we could’ve asked for! Already looking for another event we can book them for! Your friends and family will comment for weeks about how much fun they had because of Got Groove!!
The best wedding band I have EVER seen. I’m not just saying that because they played at my wedding although I feel so very fortunate that they did! My family and friends will not stop talking about how amazing they were and how much fun they ma...
de the reception. Being a covid bride, it was incredible to have them make the reception feel normal and incredibly fun. They had so much energy and personality it was incredible. Also each person has a talent that is unmatched. I highly recommend. Thank you so much, GOT Groove!
G.O.T. Groove is the best band by far! Where do I begin? This band was phenomenal! They came all of the way to the Houma area and stunned us all. Everyone was on their feet dancing the night away. We did not stop until the last song. They put o...
n such an amazing show that we all felt like we were at their concert. They would get my highest recommendation. I highly recommend getting the horns, also. If you are looking for a band to make your reception the best ever, get these guys. Absolutely amazing!!!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
GOT Groove is such a fun band! They play music that everyone enjoys - current songs for the younger crowd and oldie faves for the older crowd. The lead singers are so fun and interactive with the guests.
Not only were they su...
per fun, but also super helpful during the planning process. They send their song list and are totally open to playing your “must haves” (we had a lot - too many good songs to choose from!)
We hear about how fun our wedding was allll of the time, and it was in large part due to this amazing band, GOT Groove!!!
By far the best wedding band in NOLA. They were so much fun, kept the energy up all night, and played so many great songs from different genres. Everyone has been asking us who the band was at our wedding. My wife put me in charge of the food a...
nd music for our wedding, and I definitely knocked it out of the park by choosing G.O.T. Groove. I even saw my dad dancing (he hates dancing)!
I filled out a questionnaire beforehand and didn’t worry about another thing. GOT Groove puts on a fantastic show and really involves everyone. The best decision I made was booking them for our reception!
Where do I even begin with how AMAZING G.O.T. Groove was at our wedding reception?! Seriously. We had our ceremony on the rooftop and our reception on the second floor of the Chicory. We hired G.O.T. Groove to do our ceremony music, reception b...
and, and to end the night with a second line. From the hiring to the very end of our second line, they were seriously one of the easiest vendors to work with. Our guests danced the night away and had the best time. The dance moves of the lead singers...WOW! They interacted with our guests so much which helped make it even more memorable for everyone. The band also did a great job with feeling the crowd for the songs. Of course, my groom and I had some songs we knew we wanted played and those songs/genres we didn't want played and the band nailed it.
It has been 2 and a 1/2 months since we had our big day and family + friends are STILL talking about how amazing the band was. And we got the photos back from our photographer and you can just tell that everyone was having so much fun throughout the night because of the energy G.O.T. Groove was giving us!
G.O.T. Groove played a variety of music to keep everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Our favorite requests were played and then some. It truly made our wedding the best!
Got Groove was seriously THE best band!!! They were extremely easy to work with and knew exactly what they were doing! I wanted a “mashup” for my first dance song and they learned it exactly as I wanted it! We had the best day and a large part ...
of it was because of how great Got Groove was! I would get married again tomorrow just to party with them!!!!! They are a MUST HAVE at your wedding reception (or any party!!)
G.O.T. Groove was awesome! They played our wedding at Marche in Feb 2019 and did a great job. John was super communicative throughout the planning process and they had the party going all night long. We'd highly recommend them for your wedding/...
event!
Got Groove was FANTASTIC!!!!! They were on time, professional and helpful throughout the entire process and delivered an energetic great night of music. We had numerous complements on the band. They have a comprehensive list of songs from d...
ifferent genres to pick from. Their sound and equipment was of high quality. I can Highly Recommend them. You will be quite pleased you did! We certainly were!!!
Choosing a band for our wedding reception was the most difficult decision we had to make during our wedding planning. Finding a band that fits your budget, the reception space, and the sound you are looking for can be really daunting. When we f...
ound the band G.O.T. Groove, we immediately knew we loved their sound but was not sure if they were able to fit our budget. Fortunately, John (the band's manager) was gracious enough to work with us and we came to an agreement that we both felt comfortable with.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to cancel our April Wedding =(. Again, John was gracious enough to work with us again in finding a solution. We do not know when we will be able to get married in NOLA, but John and G.O.T. Groove will be the first call we make once we do. If you love G.O.T. Groove's sound, please do not hesitate to contact John! They are well worth the call!
Beyond awesome !!!
Cannot say enough good things about this band! I booked them solely based off The Knot reviews. Up until our wedding day, we never had the opportunity to see them play live.
They are AWESOME! Everything you want in a band: interactive, high en...
ergy, fun, and memorable. So many people have asked who my band was that night— what a compliment!
If you are on the fence about booking GOT GROOVE, don’t be. Book them now! You will have no regrets :).
GOT Groove was amazing for our wedding! Ourselves and our guests were in our mid-late 20's and they had our guests moving the entire time. They played great songs and their energy level was contagious. They also played an amazing cover for our ...
choreographed first dance. I would highly recommend them!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2019
Thank you Michael! Your party will forever go down as one of the most hype parties we've EVER experienced.
My husband and I had such a great experience with G.O.T. Groove. John was very professional and super responsive. We just attended another wedding last month in NYC, and everyone who attended our wedding was still talking about our band. V...
egas was a hit, and she covered all the songs on our playlist. Everyone was very impressed!
If you are planning an event soon, we highly recommend hiring G.O.T. Groove as they were the highlight of the reception.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2019
Christal and Scott, you two were so much fun to work for. They all enjoyed putting on a great show for you and your friends!
GOT GROOVE was the absolute BEST. WEDDING. BAND. EVER! Seriously, their wide variety in music was amazing! My guests and I (of course) loved them!!!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2019
Thank you!
We loved GOT Groove. The band was amazing and surpassed our expectations. They did our ceremony music, second line and our reception - each were fantastic, and they learned songs and did a fabulous job. There were a few minor issues - such as h...
aving to provide food prior to the start of everything, but then they still ate our reception food, and a misunderstanding of what time to begin the reception - but those were extremely minor points that certainly did not reflect on the performers and they started as soon as our coordinator provided the contract. The food also wasn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Don't hesitate to use them, they really did such an amazing job and sounded so good. They really knew how to put on a great show and they did a spectacular job with the songs we wanted them to learn.
Response from the Vendor on 10/31/2019
Hey Norah! Thank you for the compliments and I'm glad you mentioned the issues. I spoke to Natalie after the fact and agreed, they should never assume they can eat of the buffet, even if most clients encourage that it should not be wit...
hout asking. We ask for food prior for start up food and to not hold up the break if we have to eat on it but I totally understand and has definitely been addressed!
As for the start time, yes that day was crazy and they had to reset the ceremony 3 times due to the rain and couldn't even do the full reception set up and sound check with the puddles right where all the drums and some sound eq went. They were a little flustered trying to do it all in a very hectic environment but that experience has since made me implement a system that would allow them to easily stay on top of all of that, even in hectic and stressful situations out of their control.
I'm glad your experience was not hindered by those things but we strive to be perfect so I have for sure made these issues already known even before this review :-)
G.O.T. Groove exceeded the expectations we had for our wedding. They were eager and prompt to meet with us during our first consult, responsive to emails leading up to the event, and knew exactly how to work a room. We initially choose them ...
because they had a slightly different, and better, song list than the other bands. They were also open to learning three other songs of our choice. When it came to the wedding day, they seamlessly worked songs together on the fly, based on the temperature of the crowd. They had everyone dancing, including friends and family who I've never seen dance before. The energy was unreal and everyone specifically mentioned them as a highlight after the wedding. I would use them again and easily recommend them.
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2019
Jason, I'm glad I personally got to sit down and meet with you and your wife. I'm so glad that you ended up choosing GOT Groove.
G.O.T. Groove was AMAZING! Our guests never left the dance floor. They made our wedding reception on that we will never forget. We hope that we have another event that we can book them at in the future!
Response from the Vendor on 11/01/2019
Thank you Jacqueline!
G.O.T. Groove was the band at my wedding 8/3/19, and I must say that they were perfect. The singers are, not only, great singer, but they also are amazing entertainers. They were able to keep the dance floor going the entire night without miss...

Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2019
Thank you Charles! Yes they really LOVE interacting and entertaining for sure. It isn't just about their incredible voice and that's what we believe makes them special.
Got Groove is a MUST for your wedding band. They are so engaging, fun, and had all our wedding guest on their feet the whole night. Their energy level is amazing! I think the compliment we received most from our wedding was how amazing this ban...

Thank you Hannah for the amazing compliments!
They put on the best show!! We had so much listening and singing with them all night!

Thank you Marli!!!
Best decision we ever made was choosing GOT Groove as our wedding band. It's been over 7 months and we still get stopped by people who attended saying they've never had so much fun at a wedding! We literally shut the place down while still danc...
ing! They are the most entertaining, talented band and couldn't recommend them more! Thank you for making our night more fun than we thought possible!
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2019
Haley! Thank you so much for the kind words. GOT Groove loved performing for you as well.
It wasn’t a question who I wanted to play at my wedding. I went to two receptions GOT Groove played at and was blown away each time. They are so incredibly good and so much fun! They are so entertaining and infused the whole night with energy. ...
They truly started the party and made my wedding reception the most fun. I still have my guests talking about them. I have had numerous people ask me what band they were and that they wanted them for their reception! We were all blown away.. They were so inclusive and wanted everyone to join in. The dance floor was full the WHOLE night. I had requested that they play Garth Brooks and told them that my brother in law loves them. They got him on stage and let him sing a few GB songs! It was amazing and I will always remember these sweet memories. I am so grateful for all the memories made that night because of this band. They made our night one to always remember. Trust me, you want this band and NEED them for your reception! ❤️
G.O.T. Groove absolutely killed it at our reception. They were very engaging with the audience and everyone loved them. In fact, most of our guests asked us how we found them. Highly recommend G.O.T. Groove for any occasion.
G.O.T Groove was so much fun for our wedding reception! The constant thing all of our guests have mentioned after the wedding is how much fun the band was and how they interacted with the dance floor. I definitely recommend them for any wedding...
reception or other event where a fun atmosphere is wanted!
UMM OK -- I'm still in shock from how amazing the wedding day was, and G.O.T. Groove brought THE. HOUSE. DOWN. I'm super picky (being a musician and semi-music snob) and was also overwhelmed by the different band options available. They invited...
us to check them out at a performance they had at some corporate event. It was reassuring to see them in real life and know they can bring it for reals. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and said how much fun they had and how awesome the band was. People were asking what the name of the band was. They had everyone dancing and singing along. We requested a wide range of music -- from 60s soul to 70s rock to 80s dance to 90s grunge to dirty south rap and old school hip hop -- and they did not fail to impress and take it to the NEXT LEVEL. I felt like the reception somehow turned into a rave towards the end. It was surreal. I cannot tell you how much I recommend this band for any event or wedding. They were super easy to work with. The band members are so great and down to earth and fun to kick with. We hope to hire them again for another event we are planning. THANK YOU G.O.T. GROOVE FOR MAKING THIS DAY UNFORGETTABLE!
We would book them over and over.... they were AMAZING and very interactive with the guests! It has been two months since the wedding and I still have people coming up to me and saying how FANTASTIC the band was!! All of my husband's family and...
friends came from Texas and they said, "we have never gotten down like that before but the band was so great we just couldn't stop LOL!" Super easy to work with throughout the whole process from booking to the event! :) Thank you for making my husband and I's big day one we will never forget!
They rock! We hired GOT Groove for our wedding on April 27. The manager, John Hozey, was attentive, detail-oriented, and professional the entire process, and he worked with us when we submitted some requests last-minute the week before the wedd...
ing. The approach this group takes for preferences is to have you fill out a preference sheet with your take on general genres, in addition to any particular requested songs, and they use their professional musical expertise to create a tailored musical experience. Our guests were on the dance floor much of the night, jamming to a variety of stuff from country to classic rock to r&b. Every song, GOT Groove knocked it out of the park with high quality music and an energetic atmosphere. A few particular highlights were the first dances, which they learned, and a special request for "Beyond" by Leon Bridges which they ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED. The only thing I would have changed was that the second line only had two saxophones once we went outside, which was a little weak on sound. Originally John and I had discussed by email having at least two drums and one sax, though admittedly we didn't specify # of pieces in the contract itself. The discrepancy in the actual second line at the reception was likely the result of a miscommunication between the venue (Southern Oaks Plantation), the band manager, and me because the venue was used to doing second lines indoors where the whole band can be and we had been assuming we'd be outside without anybody specifically clarifying until last-minute upon our prompting. Just be sure to have that conversation early on with all involved. All in all, I would hire GOT Groove again in a heartbeat. We were very happy with them, and many of our guests said they were the best wedding band they'd ever heard. GOT Groove will work with you smoothly and professionally and will knock off your guests' socks with an amazing diversity of music. Don't hesitate to lock them down. You won't be disappointed.
Wildly impressed is an understatement.
We originally connected with John (band manager) and were back and forth on whether or not to move forward because they had no showcases coming up. John met with us several times and was endlessly patien...
t answering our questions and addressing our hesitation to book someone without seeing them live. He arranged an opportunity for us to swing by a wedding they booked and we only needed 30 seconds to make our decision once seeing them in front of a crowd. EVERYONE was dancing, the talent was irrefutable, and we were stoked to book them. We ended up also signing the brass band, which is an optional add-on that we weren't able to see in person.
The night of our wedding there wasn't one person who didn't enjoy the music and entertainment G.O.T. Groove brought. Patrick not only led the band with a passion and excitement you just can't match. He also MC-ed parts of our reception that were less organized on our parts with grace and humor. They interact with the crowd and, honestly, it feels like an extension of your friends group/family up on stage throughout the night.
We couldn't be more grateful for their talent, collaboration, and patience with us as we figured out what we were looking for!
Thank you, G.O.T. Groove - you'll see us at your next public gig cheering you on and dancing the night away!
GOT Groove was the highlight of our wedding. Extremely easy to work with and very accommodating with each request we had throughout the planning process. We are still receiving compliments on them 3 months later. They definitely MADE the party-...
we never stopped dancing!
Would book them again in a heartbeat- worth every penny. Look no further- you have found your wedding band!
Seriously the BEST wedding band we have ever experienced and we feel so lucky that they were ours! Three months on, we are still getting comments from our guests about how amazing the band were. We had a small wedding but they managed to get ev...
eryone up and on the dance floor, which was full for most of the time, and I certainly was never off it. Their set list was so varied which matched their incredible musical talents and vocal skills. I cannot say enough how amazing they were. A breeze to work with on the lead up to the wedding and out-of-this-world good on the day. Thank you guys so much!
Having the perfect band for my wedding was one of my top priorities. I searched extensively and Got Groove exceeded expectations x1000! This band does it all; they played beautiful jazz music during dinner then quickly got the party started! Th...
ey were so fun and engaging, the dance floor stayed busy the entire reception! Got Groove even had my grandparents on the dance floor! I have received many inquireies about my wedding band, guests wondering who they were because they were “one of the best bands they’ve heard!” I cannot thank Got Groove enough for all they did to make our wedding reception everything I wanted it to be and more!
I'll be honest...We looked for a while for the perfect band for our wedding. I read reviews on wedding wire, the knot, gigmasters, Etc. We wanted something that everyone would love and could dance to. We finally settled on GOT Groove for our...
wedding band and could not be more happy with our choice!! We had heard them perform a few other times at some events we attended about 8 months into our wedding planning and knew we wanted them. We were only about 2 months out from our wedding and still hadn't decided until we saw them perform for the first time. Great group of people! They are super energetic, great performers, very personable and they really got our crowd going. People STILL talk about how awesome our band was and ask for their info because they want them as well. I also had requested a saxophone and keyboard at our ceremony which they were able to provide and they did a fantastic job!!! So I got both ceremony and reception music from the same band...**BONUS**!! We could not be more thrilled with their performance! They were worth every penny! <3
If you are still looking for a band...STOP!! Just hire GOT Groove...You will be so happy you did!!!
“Most bands have one or two songs that everyone goes to sit down or refill their drinks. That never happened last night. Every song was a hit!” - wedding guest
GOT Groove was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We have been t...
o numerous wedding the last two years and knew that a great band is what makes a wedding fun and memorable. This is 100% what we found with GOT Groove. We have been married for over three months now and people continue to ask about our band. In addition, they were so easy to work with. John, the manager, is organized, flexible, and so helpful when picking out first dance songs, playlists, etc. As a bride that was very focused on the picking the perfect band, I would recommend for any other bride out there. BOOK IT.
GOT Groove is amazing!! They were so easy to work with and really made the wedding reception a party! Everyone was complimenting how amazing the band was all night long - if you are thinking about booking them, do it! You seriously won’t regret...
it. I booked without hearing this band in person and let me tell you they exceeded every expectation I had and were the absolute best!
The absolute best wedding band ever!!! They were such a pleasure to work with and responded quickly to all my questions and emails. We added the ceremony package and I’m so glad we did. Thank you GOT Groove for making my reception so much fun!!...
!
I cannot say enough how much of a blast our wedding was, and I know G.O.T. Groove had so much to do with it! Everyone stayed on the dance floor having a great time. I love the mix of old and new songs that they can do--a little something for ev...
eryone! Seriously, book them now!

Thank you Hannah. We had A BLAST with you and your party!
GOT GROOVE WAS INCREDIBLE AT OUR WEDDING! People were dancing ALL NIGHT and the band interacted with all of our guests so well! Every song that I listed on the questionnaire they sent us was played, and beautifully, might I add! They had a pian...
ist set up for our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was truly perfect. Very reasonably priced for such talented, professional, and incredibly kind people! Thank you so much for making our wedding even more memorable and fun than I ever could have imagined!
GOT Groove was the best band we have ever heard at a wedding, and it was for our daughter's wedding! The band was punctual, professional, and a TOTAL BLAST! My husband and I agreed that the money we paid them was the best money we spent! We ...
got so much more than their cost. EVERYONE at the wedding was dancing and having a great time! We booked GOT Groove on faith, and we were SO THRILLED at how amazing our reception was because of the music! They were high energy and great musicians. SO MUCH FUN!!! Book them today! :)
We booked a keys player for our ceremony and a 6 piece band for the reception. Music and entertainment was one of the most important parts of our wedding day and G.O.T. Groove exceeded all of our expectations!! John was extremely responsive and...
reassuring whenever I would send an email with questions or concerns. The band curated an amazing playlist based on the songs we selected and the dance floor was full the entire night! They kept the energy high and made sure everyone had an amazing time. The vocals and musical abilities of the band members impressed all of our guests! I highly recommend G.O.T. Groove and hope to have another opportunity to use them in the future.
Fantastic band! Excellent musicians and great entertainers. Well versed in multiple genres and a wide array of instruments. Having both a male and a female lead vocalist was a huge plus! Highly recommended!
I got married on May 26, 2018. One thing I cared most about was a band at my wedding. When I reached out to G.O.T. Groove, I knew very little about them. The band manager, John, immediately contacted me, was so professional and truly wanted to...
make sure the band was able to provide everything that we wanted. The bad provided an acoustic guitar for the ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful. The reception was amazing and the bad was so entertaining. Since my wedding, I have had so many people tell me that the it was the funnest wedding they had ever been to because of the band. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and am currently looking for another reason to!
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2018
Thank you so Much Alysha for the amazing review!!! We appreciate you.
Got Groove was incredible. I had an outdoor reception, with plans for it to be an open air venue by a lake. The morning of the wedding, everyone woke up to tornado sirens, but Got Groove still showed up and brought all of their equipment throug...
h so much mud without any complaining. That night, we couldn't have asked for a better band. They played so many amazing songs, and got the crowd into every song. They turned the mudpit into a dance party. I had multiple people come up to me, my parents, and my in laws saying this was the best reception band they'd ever heard. Truly, couldn't have asked for a better night. Thank y'all!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2018
Thank you Natalie! We have one goal, make your night memorable and the best of your life. I'm glad the elements didn't get in the way of making that happen and you were able to dance just how it was meant to be!
G.O.T. Groove was AMAZING at our wedding in April! They are full of energy and really connect with their audience! Got Groove plays such a great variety of music! Everyone was on the dance floor all night long, and people were asking who they w...
ere. Chris and I were beyond pleased with their performance at our wedding. You won't regret booking them for your big day!
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2018
This wedding was on April 7th, 2018. Thank you so much Lauren. I wish you and Chris a lifetime of happiness!
GOT Groove played our wedding in New Orleans (4/20/18) and they were great! Music was awesome and band members were very friendly. Manager was very responsive and helpful. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for band.
My husband and I were thrilled with GOT Groove. Neither of us live in New Orleans and we were not able to meet with them ahead of time. Everything was easily organized through email. They band arrived on time for set up and allowed us to use th...
eir sound system to play "play lists" during the ceremony before they were scheduled to start. All the guests had a great time dancing and the band did an excellent job reading off of the crowd to keep everyone engaged. Although I was not able to spend a lot of time with the band members they were incredibly personable and kind.
Response from the Vendor on 05/01/2018
Thank you! I would love to know who this is so I can say thank you personally.
GOT Groove was amazing!! They were so easy to work with and my guests said they want to hire this band for their weddings. Can’t wait to hear them again!

Thank you Allison!!! They had a blast this past weekend with you all. This wedding was on 4/21/18.
We absolutely LOVED Got Groove! Their band manager, John Hozey, was very attentive and professional. The band was a blast! They sounded amazing and had all of our wedding guests on the dance floor. We recommend the band to anyone looking to hav...
e a fun reception. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day and for making it so special! -Emily and Trip
Response from the Vendor on 04/03/2018
Thank you Emily! I'm so happy that you decided to let GOT Groove rock your party. It was so fun and y'all were such a fun couple. Thank you! (this wedding was on December 1st, 2017)
Patrick (band leader) and the G.O.T. Groove team blew us away!!! While we initially tried to book their sister band, DPlay, that was booked for the date of our wedding - we are SO happy we ended up with G.O.T. Groove, because their talents and ...
sound is just as great. We used the band for our Second Line, cocktail music (sax and piano), and our reception band and every aspect of their work had the WOW factor. Most of our guests were visiting New Orleans for the first time and keep talking about our band. In fact, one of our dear friends is a band leader in Austin, TX and said he was amazed by the talents of the musicians and their ability to free style. Patrick was super accommodating when the schedule of events went haywire. He was in sync with us the entire time and made sure everyone on the dance floor was having a great time. Additionally, they were super flexible in working with us on our wedding song and the mother/son, and father/daughter dances as we had some unique requests. Patrick went over and beyond to make our asks come true. One pointer - Make sure you spell out exactly what you'll need for your ceremony needs (i.e. microphones, speakers, etc.) so that is all included in the quote and that it is set up to your liking. We only had one lapel mic for the ceremony that then had to be shared across all the people reading in our wedding - and it was a bit awkward. But overall, we 100% recommend G.O.T. Groove for your wedding band. They know how to please their clients and throw an awesome party!! Thank you Patrick, John, and the team.
Response from the Vendor on 04/03/2018
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'll be sure to tell Patrick all the amazing things that you said. I'm sorry about the mic situation. We 100% could've had another one. Most weddings only require a lapel for the officiant, and you are righ...
t, please be detailed about what you need and we'll make it happen! Thank you.
G.O.T. Groove was awesome! Patrick and Shavonne were so much fun and interactive with us which was super important to me. We were on the dance floor all night! John was so sweet and easy to work with as well. I would definitely recommend them!!...

Thank you Caroline! Y'all had an incredible party at the NOPSI!!
G.O.T Groove was amazing. So much fun and so nice to deal with. Patrick and Shavonne were great. See our wedding on their Facebook page. We had to reschedule the wedding and couldn't book a band that we were familiar with. I searched the kn...

Response from the Vendor on 03/27/2018
Thank you so much for your review! I don't know exactly who this is but it's much appreciated.
GOT Groove was a great choice for our wedding band! From start to finish, the group was professional and fun to work with. As an out of town bride, they were flexible in planning and helpful with suggestions. Come wedding day, we danced from co...
cktail hour to the very last step of our second line. We are so happy with GOT Groove and our wedding guest are still talking about the band!
Response from the Vendor on 03/27/2018
Thank you Andres for having us be a part of your celebration. Also, thank you for the uber ride hookup from our meeting 😂😂😂
Fantastic energy and music selection!
All I can say is wow. They played old and new and took suggestions. They kept the crowd dancing the whole time. They were the best live music I have ever seen at a wedding. Ever.
GOT was the best wedding band I've seen. I out danced my partner who is usually struggling to get me to dance for one song. I would book these folks for any fun event and only wish I could travel back in time and could get them at my wedding!
This band was AMAZING! We were all completely blown away worth the talent and energy they brought. So much fun!!
We planned a destination wedding and knew that we wanted to ultimately have a great party. G.O.T. Groove delivered. The band was amazing! They had our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Also, they kept our guests engaged and played ...
such a wide variety of music. Also, we saw John at another venue in New Orleans and he gave us a shout out, brining us on stage and congratulating us again! How wonderful. Such a great experience working with this band.
Response from the Vendor on 11/24/2017
Thank you Chris! This wedding was actually on 9/24/17
Absolutely amazing band! So much fun and very interactive with the crowd. People are still talking about how amazing they were!
Response from the Vendor on 11/23/2017
Thank you Logan! GOT groove is glad you let us be a part of your special day.
I am SO HAPPY I hired GOT Groove, I could cry. They were AWESOME. And this is coming from someone who is pretty critical of bands! My now husband and I spend every wedding dancing more than anyone, so it was VITAL that we had super energetic an...
d amazing-sounding musicians. The two singers sounded incredible, and the MC'ing, flow between songs, and energy that the whole band kept up really made the whole party. I was a little nervous giving them my first dance song which had barely any background music and depended on a good singer -- and Patrick SLAYED IT. It was absolutely beautiful. I also gave them a list of all of the songs I did and didn't want played, and they totally followed it and did everything well. (Even if I didn't suggest anything, I have faith they know exactly what to play and when for any party.) We did get the second line add-on, and that was also absolutely FABulous.
These guys are amazing. The manager is also SUPER easy to work with and responsive, and their lighting and sound setup was way more legit than I expected. I am genuinely so, so, so pumped about this band and all of the amazing energy that they brought into my wedding reception. I love you guys, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
This band was absolutely AMAZING! We were extremely lucky to get them booked less than a month before the wedding due to cancellations. EVERYONE at our reception had the best time dancing to all the songs. My husband was very upset that we didn...
't get to dance to "Don't Stop Believing" when he heard how good they were at it. (We were taking pictures during this song. I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for a band to look into them!!
Amazing Band... and they will travel... our wedding was in Orange Beach, AL.
We were on the dance floor all night long! Band is great at engaging the crowd, they danced with us, played all the great songs, including everything we requested...
. Months later my friends are still telling me the band was so GREAT- we had so much fun! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2017
Thank you so much. We love Orange Beach and we loved being a part of your evening!
I've been a groomsman in 16 weddings. Needless to say, I've seen good weddings and bad. So when it came time for me to have my own wedding, I knew that the band would be the most important factor for a memorable reception. With that in mind, I ...
set out to find the best band in the area. Based on reviews, it was obvious that any band managed by John Hozey would be an excellent choice. I contacted him, and as you would expect, he responded almost immediately. He sent some videos of Got Groove at their previous shows, and they were far superior to any other bands I had seen. I was in need of additional services like lighting and a P.A. system for the ceremony. He was able to provide those as well. With John's professionalism and Got Groove's talent, production experience, and positive reviews, choosing them for our reception was an easy choice.
Don't trust your once in a lifetime party to an amateur. Do yourself a favor, and book these guys before they're booked by someone else on your date.
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2017
Nicholas, your party was off the chain! Thank you for having us.
You will NOT regret booking GOT Groove for any event!!
We actually had another band booked, but after seeing GOT Groove at another wedding we decided to change bands, only 4 months before the wedding!! (They're that good!)
GOT Groove was able ...
to not only fit us in, but also work with us, since we were loosing our deposit from our other band.
Their performance at our wedding was impeccable! They were able to get the crowd up and dancing in minutes, and that was just what we were looking for!
Our guests are still talking about how fun and amazing our wedding was, and I know that GOT Groove made that possible!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2017
Thank you Candence! We are so happy you choose us to be your reason to dance.
Fantastic! Rockin band who helped make the reception a complete blast! Fabulous music, lots of personality and truly got everyone moving!

Thank you Heather!!! I got to see your parents at another wedding. They were so grateful. Made us feel like rock stars!
Absolutely fantastic! I have been asked over and over about the band that played at my wedding. They seriously kept the party fun and goovin'!
Response from the Vendor on 06/05/2017
Thank you so much for having us! Even through the howling winds, we seem to have had a great party on our hands!
We couldn't have booked a better band for our wedding! G.O.T. Groove was so friendly and easy to work with. They played all the hits, all the classics, and a few personal favorites. They even took the time to learn how to play our first dance s...
ong (and killed it) because it wasn't your typical wedding playlist song. I loved how much they interacted with the crowd and had guests from ALL ages out on the dance floor. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a soulful, sing and dance-the-night-away, absolute fun band!
Response from the Vendor on 06/05/2017
Thank you so much Leslie! We had a blast with you all. Thank you for trusting us!
AMAZING band! Couldn't stop dancing all night...every song was perfect to get everyone out on the dance floor! And the band members are so cool. One of them even came out with us to the bars after! She was a gem. :)
