Groove Authority

stomize our playlist from their extensive song catalog, and the performance (including lots of fun crowd interaction) was stellar!

riginal singer. Their talent is beyond! They knew exactly what songs to play and when to play them to get the dance floor going. Our guests can't stop raving about how amazing they were and neither can we. Paul was an absolute joy to work with as well. So helpful and accommodating and never once did I feel like just another client. He genuinely cared and wanted to ensure we had the best day even if that meant dealing with my last minutes changes/requests. I would recommend Groove Authority to anyone and honestly hope to attend an event they play again soon. SO SOO GOOD!

lessly with the venue staff making for an extremely smooth evening. When my ceremony violinist was late - the keyboardist stepped in to play some music for my guests. This band is truly talented and your guests will feel like they’re at a concert. I am so glad we chose Groove Authority for our wedding day!

ay with. We highly recommend Groove Authority. They are such a talented group that helped to make our wedding day one we will never forget! Thank you!

and to take a break so we could make a toast! Paul was extremely responsive and made the planning process stress-free.

re time! Highly recommend!!!

dancing for the entire evening. The vocals, instrumental, etc was out of this world. Our guests are still raving several weeks later about GA being the best band they have seen! At weddings, I think one of the most memorable part for guests is having fun on the dance floor -- and GA delivered! We will never forget our wedding day and how much fun we all had, thanks to the fun vibe created by GA. Aside from their incredible performance, they were so wonderful to work with. Throughout the planning process, they were very organized, prompt, responsive and helpful to any questions we had. I hope to see them again at weddings we attend in the future!!

othly. Dwayne is a great addition to GA and does a great job of getting the guests to dance.

active with the crowd, amazing to work with, and flexible with all our changes throughout planning during Covid. If you want to have the most talked about wedding, you should book Groove Authority immediately!

night of our wedding. All our guest were raving about the performance of the band and up dancing on the dance floor the entire time. Groove Authority has talented musicians and singers who bring a lot of energy to the room and did a great job playing across the spectrum to keep crowds of all ages loving the night and having a blast. We would highly recommend them for your wedding in the future!!

s nothing short of fantastic. The introductions through the encore was perfect every step of they way. Plus they got the crowd going and everyone was on the dance floor all night! They even let me and my brother perform karaoke with the band!! I cannot say enough amazing things about this group. They certainly gained a lot of future customers at our wedding so I can't wait to see them again as a guest!

ing. We couldn’t have done better than Groove Authority. They did a great job at keeping the energy up on the dance floor, and playing a good mix of songs to keep everyone happy. They also blew us away with the songs we asked them to learn. Paul, who manages the band, was a pleasure to work with. Very thorough, accommodating, and friendly. I can’t recommend Groove Authority enough!

the lead up with the band learning some new songs for us, including one for our first dance, and also editing their usual wedding playlist to only play songs we liked (from their seriously extensive catalogue) at the reception. The singers were absolutely incredible and as a band they are honestly on par with most any band I’ve ever seen live. They reduced the number in their band to fit within our budget (they have very reasonable pricing for their crazy high quality level btw) and also happily agreed to travel to Branford, CT in the middle of February. We received sooo many compliments from people at the wedding saying things like “Why did I only have a DJ at my wedding, this is so much more fun!” and everyone at our wedding was dancing the whole night through (which is no small feat given the very wide age arrange!). I have been to many weddings and always thought I’d go with a DJ like most people I know (particularly from a cost perspective) but this band was easily one of the best parts of our wedding - I’m so glad my husband convinced me! If you’re torn seriously just go for it and hire Groove Authority - they will make your wedding a night to remember not only for you but for all who attend :) Such an absolute blast and could not recommend them more!!

s of songs to choose from and even offer to learn a few for our first dances. Paul was great to work with, he made sure he had all the details and even connected with our coordinator before the big day. If you are looking for a band for your wedding, or any event, we highly recommend Groove Authority!

ntly, THEY WERE AMAZING. So many friends and family members asked us who the band was because they were so good and wanted to keep them in mind for future events. They played a wide range of music and had multiple vocalists which is the key in my opinion. Highly recommend! Paul was great to work with which is very helpful during a stressful wedding planning time. Cheers!

dancing and I got so many compliments on the Band, long after our wedding night concluded! I would hire them over and over again!

dancing with all our family and friends to their music.

was concerned that people would not dance but our fears were wrong! Everyone commented at how talented the singers were and especially gave praise to the brass guys! We didn't make any pre requests we let the band read the crowd and their song selection was incredible! The venue even commented that they were the best band they have seen. During our booking process we were able to see the band live and went out on a limb and booked. Well let me tell you it was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process! Paul the band manager is a class act! He's honest, up front, professional and a joy to work with! I have absolutely no hesitation in telling everyone to book Groove Authority!

fessional, quick to reply, and was willing to work with us with requested songs and additional items. Used the pianist for ceremony and cocktail, which set the mood and was beautiful. The 8-piece band came on afterward. They have unbelievable talent and their positive energy is contagious! They interacted with everyone on the dance floor, jammed out non-stop with minimal breaks, and gave one of the best live performances, including a mix of genres & artists. Choose Groove Authority for your wedding ,or next event, -you will 110% be so grateful that you did!! Friends & Family can't stop saying how AMAZING the band was and how everyone's calves and quads hurt the next day from all the dancing! Thank you for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

the band composition might change prior to our wedding (because they were so great as it was)-- not only were they all there on the day but they actually added an additional amazing singer in the interim who performed at no extra charge. Our wedding guests were literally up dancing before the salads came out. I had so many guests tell me they were the best band they had ever seen, people asked about them all night. Paul also manages all the announcements and is the MC for the entire reception, which was perfect. Everything about their work is incredible-- if I could give them six stars I would! Book them early, you will be so glad you did.

d!) We went with their 3 piece jazz band for cocktail hour and the full band for the reception, and they were just perfect. They learned a couple new songs for us for our First Dance and Father Daughter Dance - and they absolutely killed it! The dance floor was packed the entire night! We had an amazing time and our guests can't stop talking about how great the band was. We absolutely recommend them! Thank you Paul and Groove Authority for an unforgettable night! You guys were incredible!

erformance the night of my NYE wedding. The entire night their energy seemed to grow and I continually heard that all of our guests were amazed with the band, amazed with the singing and their talent. Please listen to me when I tell you . This band will transfer your wedding into the event of a lifetime for your guests. Hiring groove authority was the single best decision we made. Thanks again Dan and Emily 12/31/19

accommodating and fulfilled our wedding dreams! I just had my wedding saturday and I could not wait to write them a review because they are that amazing! Do not hesitate to book these guys!

re the best!

king about how great the band was. The band gets out in the crowd and interacts with guests which makes it even more fun! Groove authority exceeded all of our expectations!

professional, and most of all FUN. Having a great band was a high priority for us and if it is for you, choose Groove Authority. Have you ever heard guests at a wedding ask for an encore? I hadn't, until the crowd started chanting "One more song! One more song!" at the end of our wedding. Truly a hilarious and wonderful way to cap off the day. Choose Groove Authority, you can't go wrong!

ive and organized. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a band to play at their wedding or other event. Our guests commented how it was the best wedding they had ever been to, in part due to the stellar performance by Groove Authority!

or all night- even at dinner, which I had not experienced before at a wedding and made it a fun environment right off the bat! Groove Authority kept the energy high all night, and our guests are still raving about how fun of a night it was! You will NOT regret booking this band!!

seamlessly moved to the reception hall for dinner/background and of course dancing. Many guests (especially those with music backgrounds) were impressed with the level of talent these accomplished musicians displayed. Amazing!

sts sat down, they danced all night and had so much fun! They are still talking about the band! We would definitely recommend them to our family and friends! Thank you again Groove Authority, you were all amazing!!!

ome last minute adjustments and were extremely open with communication for the entire process. Paul kept communication lines open and was happy to help us make the wedding of our dreams. If Groove Authority is available, just do yourself a favor and book them, you will not regret it for a moment. Great talent and will come out on the floor and keep the energy high!!

accommodating of any and all of our requests! They provided our ceremony music, as well as reception music and both were perfect. We decided to go with Groove Authority after seeing them perform at our friends’ wedding, so, I can say wholeheartedly that they only get better and better. They have an unbelievable range of song options, and perform each and every one of them amazingly. The musicians and singers were very interactive with our guests and embraced all the excitement and enthusiasm from the crowd. Since our wedding day I’ve had numerous guests reach out to me to compliment the band. I’ve even had some engaged friends ask the name and I happily recommended Groove Authority. If you choose Groove Authority for your big day, you will not be disappointed. They really made our wedding memorable.

Paul was very professional and organized. He provided a PA for our ceremony, and handled the music for that and cocktail hour. Everything went very smoothly. The reception, as I mentioned, was a blast. The introductions were smooth, they played a great set during dinner, and the dance floor was packed for the rest of the night. In fact, people were so busy dancing that our bar tab ended up well under budget. You might even say that Groove Authority saved us a lot of money in alcohol. Not to mention the intangible benefits of the exercise all of our family and friends got. If you’re looking for a wedding band, look no further. I would absolutely book them again.

ey are amazing at getting the crowd up and out of their seats -- everyone started dancing even before meals were served! We got SOO many compliments about how great the band was - you will not regret booking them!

GA. The whole process was very thorough and the night of everything went perfectly because of Groove Authority’s planning and attention to detail. The lighting, introductions, song list, the bands energy and ability to get the crowd going was amazing. We first saw the band a few years back at my older sisters wedding and knew that they were the real deal. One of the constants we’ve heard about our wedding is how amazing the band was and how much fun they had dancing the night away to Groove Authority. If your reading this trying to decide between another band or DJ, STOP! and get Groove Authority booked now, they will not disappoint.

to every event if I could!

about the wedding, they say how spectacular the band was. Paul and his team are so easy and pleasant to work with. From the early stages of planning, they were extremely tuned into preferences, coordination of the day-of timing, accommodations and special requests. Paul's also very efficient and quick to reply by email or phone. We had a few planning calls leading up to the event and Paul was so thorough in each conversation, really capturing what we wanted the night to look like - from introduction preferences to our last dance song request and everything in between that. Groove is an ideal wedding partner, often helping with thinking ahead and planning for next steps. I always felt like we had the music/dancing part of things covered with Groove and Paul leading the charge We wanted to maximize the dancing and time on the dance floor and Groove really helped us to make that happen! Our entire party was on the dance floor dancing before the entrees were served - one guest coined the phrase "sweating before salads!" and many others said it was the most fun dance floor they'd ever seen at a wedding. We had such a special night and loved how customized Groove's setlist was for us and the interaction between band and guests really added to everyone's experience; we had guests from 10 years old to 86 from all parts of the country and all enjoyed the song selection and danceability of everything Groove played! There were so many special memories made on the dance-floor with family and friends; we continue to hear that Groove was THE best band our guests had ever seen at a wedding - If you're looking for a wedding band in Boston or Cape Cod, look no further and book Groove today. Thanks Paul and Groove for such a special night :]

t showed up and they put on a blast of a party. Low stress, nice people and most importantly, extremely talented.

ad we chose them.

ority!

xibility of this group as we were able to use a few mp3 versions of songs for our first dance and parent dances. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!

lutely rocked and the vocalists were flawless all night. From the ceremony, through the cocktail hour, and the reception all the way up until the clock struck midnight, the band consistently brought the upbeat energy and kept the hits coming. I can’t say it enough; the band was phenomenal. We couldn’t be happier with everything about Groove Authority. We would highly recommend them for any wedding!

about the music at our wedding. Huge thanks to Paul and the rest of the band, I'd highly recommend!

law, on the dance floor all day long! All of our friends and family commented on how fantastic they are. Excellent musicians and a lot of fun!!!

inally saw them at) Everyone at brunch the next morning would not stop talking about how amazing the band was. Paul and team were amazing at coordinating, organizing and ensuring nothing was missed! Paul made sure we had the perfect plan and schedule for our big day, we had calls prior to review everything and he did not miss a single thing! Every single detail was covered and accounted for. We even rehearsed all the bridal party names prior so he knew how to announce them- detail!! If you want the most fun reception ever with a band that keeps everyone on the dance floor all night long, book Groove Authority!!

at our wedding. Paul was helpful during the planning process. He made sure that he had all of the correct details and he tailored the songs they played to fit our style. They were such a hit hat our guests chanted "one more song" and the band kindly fulfilled their request! Our friends raved about the band and several different guests told us that it was the most packed dance floor at any wedding they've been to.

ST professional, honest, detail-oriented of them all. The band learned my parent’s wedding song as a special surprise for them, and Paul coordinated with our wedding coordinator at the hotel to ensure I didn’t have anything to worry about on the wedding day. Groove Authority kept the night alive, and people were on the dance floor from the first song all the way to the last! You will not be disappointed hiring them for any event, especially your wedding! So many of my guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and that was with great help from Groove Authority.

couldn't be happier!

ion certainly did not disappoint. We asked them to learn our first dance song which really made it "ours", it was perfect. To top it off, even the guests loved them as well. All night during the reception and for the last few weeks whenever someone talks about the wedding they mention how amazing the band was, how the music selection was perfect, and how it made the reception that much better. We cannot recommend Groove Authority enough and we would hire them a thousand times over again.

last song of the night. They will learn a couple of songs for you which was helpful for some of the first dances. You could tell every member of the band enjoyed being there which made all the guests love them even more. I couldn't tell you how many guests told me it was the best band they've heard at a wedding. You 100% want Groove Authority as your wedding band.

l as learning and old Irish favorite “Black Velvet Band” to surprise my grandmother and big Irish clan and they did it flawlessly. Everyone including myself and my husband are STILL raving about how awesome they are. Paul was so easy to work with and the band was incredible, fun, interactive, and read my crowd so perfectly the dance floor was full all night. I cannot thank them enough for executing my special song requests and entertaining our large guest group all night. I have friends planning their weddings in upcoming months that are now not even considering a DJ and finding a way to budget a live band because that’s how awesome Groove Authority is! Thanks again to you guys for really bringing the perfect energy to our special day!

a froup of talented musicians oulled together by a company for random gigs- that makes a difference! We were looking for a band that could play upbeat, funky, fun tunes and they delivered.. and then some!! We were so impressed at how much fun they had along with all the guests but were extremely professional! Also worth noting, We had a jewish wedding which added a layer of complexity for a few jewish songs, and they once again delivered perfectly with fun upbeat dance tunes! We absolutely loved having them play our wedding and highly highly recommend them to anyone on the lookout. Stop your search— this is your band!!

and his friends come up and sing. Still everyone keeps telling us how great to band was at our wedding. They played a mix of all kinds of music. Hands down the best band for weddings! Thank you Groove Authority

ssible. Every musician in the band exuded talent and enthusiasm. We had hundreds of song choices to pick from and our guests danced the entire wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice of the Groove Authority for our wedding band!

y patient with us when we changed our mind a couple times on specific choices and made the whole planning process very easy. The hardest part of planning actually was picking which songs we wanted them to play as their list of known songs is RIDICULOUSLY long. Like over 500 songs long. And they genuinely know ALL of them and are also willing to learn new songs for you! I can confidently say that they made the night. The band did a fantastic job of reading the room and keeping the party going. They were so good, we even had people on the dance floor during dinner when the band was playing some slower music. On multiple occasions the lead singers made their way onto the dance floor to truly engage all of our guests and get down with them. At one point, Paul even played his electric guitar behind his head during a solo on the dance floor! My wife and I (thanks to a great waitress bringing us drinks) didn’t leave the dance floor a single time the entire night. We were all hoarse and exhausted by the end of the night from singing and dancing for hours. Every individual member of the band is incredibly talented and they did a great job of sharing lead singers during different songs to add to the variety. We have been to our fair share of weddings over the years, some with DJs and others with live bands. We have never danced so much or had as much fun as we did with Groove Authority. A month later, our friends and guests are still commenting and texting us that they are the best wedding band they have ever heard. They are professional, talented, engaging, and overall an absolute blast. If you are on the fence about who to book, book them! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for helping to give us the best night of our lives!

Authority. The band owner, Paul, was wonderful to work with during the planning process and during the day of our wedding. Paul was available to answer any necessary questions, and was extremely helpful by accommodating our particular band requests. Groove Authority was extremely professional and willing to tailor their performance as necessary for our wedding. Groove Authority also played the piano during our ceremony and cocktail hour - and we received endless complements on the music. I cannot say enough great things about Groove Authority. If you are looking for someone to keep your guests on the dance floor and to enjoy incredible music throughout your event, book with Groove Authority!!!

as able to accommodate all of our requests. My mom contacted him for a surprise father daughter dance moment which Paul pulled off without hesitation and was an incredible surprise to me! The band had everyone on the dance floor all night, our guests can't stop talking about. how amazing they were! Thank you so much to Paul and Groove Authority for making our wedding such a memorable night!!

riety of songs. The dance floor was jammed all night long. If you want the best, then hire Groove Authority!

y had to be dragged off dance floor and were “one more song” . I think my favorite part was the groom “air guitaring “ it with a member of the band ... it was just so awesome! You will not regret hiring them! Worth every penny and knocks a DJ out of the water!

year.

h. Everyone in the band is so talented and the music selection was perfect (kept everyone happy!) I can honestly say that the only time people were sitting during our wedding was dinner and dessert. Our friends and family couldn't stop raving about the music- we all had a blast!! Thank you for everything!

d in communication with us right along. He was also very willing to help us with some last minute changes we made to our reception. If you are looking for an easy going vendor to help you throw an awesome party, these guys are the band for you!

the night, they even pulled out an encore song. Highly recommend!

nd to play at my wedding in August of 2018 and they exceeded my expectations! From the initial phone call with Paul to my wedding day, all of the communication was prompt, thorough, and an overall very pleasant experience. The band members are extremely talented performers and they also know how to read the room – they had guests from every generation out on the dance floor having a wonderful time throughout the evening. The band learned two new songs for us for our father /daughter dance and mother/son dance, including a mash up of two versions of one of the songs to go along with a choreographed routine. Groove Authority was one of my favorite vendors to work with and I highly recommend them! All of the band members were very professional, friendly, courteous, and a pleasure to have at my wedding!

s one heck of a party. Our guests were on the dance floor the entire evening, and no one was ready to stop when the lights came on. It is also important to note that Groove Authority was equally as wonderful throughout the researching and booking phases. From our initial phone call to the last song on the night of our wedding, Paul was professional, responsive, flexible, and pleasant. As we researched different wedding bands, we got to see Groove Authority in action at a Tuesday night showcase. They were energetic, fun, and talented, and we knew right away that we had to book them. As we approached our wedding date, we appreciated Paul's wedding worksheet, which kept us, the band, and our venue all on the same page. We cannot recommend Groove Authority enough! Thank you, Paul and Groove Authority!

. It also seemed like a massive time suck to review videos and/or visit bands in person. Thankfully, a co-worker of mine recommended Groove Authority – and I can’t thank her enough. I can confidently say that Groove Authority was one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding. THEY KILLED IT. Paul was so organized throughout the entire process – nothing fell through the cracks – and he was always available to hop on a quick call or answer a text if I needed to confirm something (for the millionth time). Beyond the music, he was incredible at sticking to our timeline – he even introduced the MOH / best man speeches on his “break” – truly going above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible day. I’ve also never seen a band be more engaging with the audience – Paul & the rest of the band members actually got out on the dance floor and sang with the crowd – he even played the guitar behind his head. IT WAS INSANE. They even had people on the dance floor before the entrees were served – something I’ve never seen at a wedding. People still come up to me to this day saying it was by far the best band they have experienced at a wedding and it was more like that were at a concert than a wedding. Groove Authority was one of the best vendors we hired & we would recommend them whole heartedly.

e wedding! I highly recommend Groove Authority!

es. He was so accommodating to all of our requests, one example: the band offers to learn new songs that they don't have in their giant repertoire if there is a song you are dying for them to play. In our case they learned I think 3 songs, one of which was our first dance song. We were super nervous and decided to take dance lessons, so asked for a preview of the song. They sent us the preview, and we asked for it to be slightly changed, so they changed it, and sent us another recording all a few MONTHS before the wedding so we would have enough time to practice! INCREDIBLE! Paul also gave us such good advice on the order of events, and he was the most organized and basically carried through our whole wedding from start to finish in the smoothest and cleanest way possible. Paul started with micing up the ceremony, then we had two instruments for the cocktail hour, and the whole band for the reception. I wish he was our wedding planner in general, he is just so on top of things. Our hora was unheard of with EVERY SINGLE PERSON on the dance floor, we were all dripping in sweat from the first second of the reception through the rest of the night since we were all dancing so hard. At one point, the band somehow coaxed my usually introverted up on stage and handed him a microphone and he sang with the band to his favorite song! At the very end, I don't know how this happened, and I've never seen this at a wedding, but all of our friends and family were so into the music, they created a giant dance circle and all did the "can-can" legs in sync. I've never smiled, danced, laughed so hard in my life. Since the wedding everyone has asked us who our band was and wanted to book them. Thank you Groove Authority times a million!
