Groove Authority

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!

the whole band made our big day very special. When people bring up our wedding the first thing they say is “wow.. that band was amazing”. I could not recommend them enough! If we ever host another event that needs a band you better believe we are calling Groove Authority!!

on the dance floor, salads still on table, people literally could not stay seated. Throughout the night people kept telling me things like "dude where did you find these guys, they're incredible" or "I can't believe how amazing this band is". The dance floor was packed the entire night. At the end of the wedding I heard from many friends and family that this was the best wedding they had ever been to and I genuinely believe that this band had a lot to do with that. You could have everything go wrong with your special day and this band alone could make it great again. You seriously will not be disappointed with these guys.

st dance song as well as the songs for the first dances with our parents. Paul was very flexible and great to work with. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to have them perform!

the entire night, which was exactly what we wanted for our event. We have received so many compliments on Groove Authority from our guests, and the band was all anyone could talk about! They made our wedding fun and exciting for everyone there, and we would highly recommend them for any event!

. Paul was amazing with communicating prior to my big day. He was always willing to chat about any changes and even was flexible when changes needed to be made minutes before they were supposed to happen at the wedding. Paul and his band we’re incredible. I could listen to them play everyday! They played music to get every body on the dance floor and stay on the dance floor. A night I will never forget! I highly highly recommend Groove Authority for any event but especially weddings!

t the band was amazing. The band let them play for a song which made things feel even more personal. Thank you Paul!

to add a few extra musicians to get the sound we wanted, and they even learned a new song that we requested. At the wedding itself, they were amazing. They kept everyone dancing the entire night, and so many people complimented us on our band. A couple people commented that at times they thought the band was on a break and playing recorded music because their rendition sounded so much like the original artist. They truly made our wedding an amazing party and were a joy to work with. You won't regret booking them!

and these musicians took the stage, everybody couldn’t help but get out of their chair! They are simply the best. Paul was a dream to work with- he’s extremely detail oriented and very flexible with the slate of music. He even got the band to learn a brand new song just for the my husband’s side of the family! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!!

casionally off-the-wall requests, timely in all communications, and essentially, the consummate professional. He actually pointed our some possible 'weaknesses' in our timeline, offered suggestions, and with his valued and insightful input, improved on what we were trying to create. He was not pushy or insistent, but helped to save us from ourselves! He helped manage the pre-wedding planning process with timely reminders, and accommodated our availability. And musically? There are simply none better. Ours was a black-tie-optional wedding (so the band all dressed the part), and we all wanted to dance. Together, we curated a list of songs and let Paul 'manage' the set timing (as well as handling the MC responsibilities). EVERYONE raved about how great the music was, and how they truly "danced the night away." These folks are absolute treasures, and I offer my highest endorsement of them, their professionalism, and believe that they really contributed a lion's share to 'make' the wedding such a huge success!

they run all of the PA for our wedding ceremony, they also played music for our cocktail hour. When it came to the wedding reception they had everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, from French to Americans, cutting up the dance floor all night. We are so happy we picked this band and will certainly hire them again. There range of songs was unreal, they were able to keep everyone happy and dancing.

w good they were and how much fun they made our wedding. They were very easy to work with, incorporated all of the songs that we asked them to, and had a great feel for the crowd, playing different songs that appealed to people of all ages throughout the night. They even let my husband sit in on bass for a few songs which was a lot of fun and was an awesome surprise for our guests! They made our wedding very memorable and I would highly recommend them!!!

was amazing. Paul was professional, responsive and totally on the ball. He listened to all of our requests from first dance song to songs we were hoping to be played throughout the night and made it all happen. Before I got to the wedding that day, Groove Authority was the one thing I was so confident in that I did not even need to worry about. They did not disappoint and all of our wedding guests keep talking about them weeks later. Couldn't be happier! We feel so grateful that they were able to be part of our wedding day.

and was worth every penny we paid. People are still talking about how incredible the band was.

shame on you!...your loss for sure! Our event wouldn't have been the same without them!

p to country - you name it! I absolutely loved this band and recommend them for ANY wedding or party!!!

ts because of their expertise and energy they brought to our wedding! They truly are amazing!

st words out of every guests mouth has been "wow, that band was incredible." They're a "turn key" operation with unyielding energy and a distinct ability to read the crowd. We made several changes which Paul handled very well, IF they're available, book with confidence.

pecial requests and worked with us to make sure the day was exactly how we wanted it. Thanks so much for an amazing night Groove Authority!

that played. We were referred to GA, and quickly connected with Paul. He was personable, informative and willing to accommodate exactly what we were looking for! On the day of our wedding, GA traveled 3+ hours to our venue in northern Maine. We had two members of GA perform at cocktail hour who were phenomenal! When it came time to announcements at the reception, they were fantastic! Next, moving on to the 1st dance, they performed a song we asked them to learn. It was here that I saw my husband tear up for only the second time in our over 7 year relationship! He was beyond impressed! The audience was also incredibly impressed as everyone was up and dancing even before dinner was served! The dance floor was packed the entire night! At the end they were even willing to accommodate one more song...Roadhouse Blues by the Doors, and it blew everyone away! Two months later, we are still having guests come up to us and rave about the band! I would recommend Groove Authority many times over! On a final note, the bands version of "Killing Me Softly" gave people the chills!!!

e was there because they were all dancing!!!! AlLL NIGHT! All my guests RAVED about the band weeks later when we got together! In fact, a very close friend of ours will be having Groove Authority at their daughter's wedding in October in RI. Looking forward to spending another fun evening with the band! They are the BEST!!!!

g with male or female vocals and played a perfect rendition of our first dance song. Paul was communicative throughout the planning process and has lots of experience. Plus he absolutely shreds on the guitar.

pianist and saxophonist played jazz during our cocktail hour. During the reception, we had 250 guests and every single person was on the dance floor at one point or another, some even before salad was served! Paul, the director, was excellent to work with and very responsive. All the band members were exciting, talented, and interactive throughout the night. Guests of all ages enjoyed their vast playlist from multiple genres and generations of music. Thank you so much for making our wedding a night our guests will always remember!

er and over that this was the best band at a wedding they had ever seen! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

dding. Where do I start? -First off, they are very easy to work with. I had several email and phone conversations with Paul, who was very approachable and upfront about what they had to offer. He was flexible and was able to work with the budget my wife and I set for a band. As we approached the wedding date, Paul was very organized and worked with us on every detail possible to make sure we would have a flawless reception. On the day of the wedding, there were no surprises and everything was organized and went off without a hitch. -Next, the most important question: how do they sound?? Well first let me say they have so much range! We had them play our cocktail hour with some light background keyboard. During dinner, they created a great atmosphere with music like Sinatra, etc. When it came time to get people on the dance floor, they brought the Energy. They knew how to play to the audience and get young and old involved. There was so much range, from classic hits to covers of brand new songs. Their voices sound great and their skill is incredible. One of my good friends is a musician and said to me on the dance floor, "these guys are TOO GOOD to just be a wedding band". We are more than a month out from our wedding, and we are STILL getting compliments on how fun the wedding was because of Groove Authority. Now we just have to convince friends to hire them for their wedding or renew our vows so we can hear them play again!

fairs, Groove Authority knows how to work it. The talent is amazing and the singers are engaging and help keep the mood going. The pricing is a great value - highest quality performers at a price that is fair. A real bonus for this event planner!

rehearsals we knew we’d found it and booked them two days later. Paul was very on top of the process throughout planning and checked in regularly to see if we had questions or keep us up to date on what he needed to move forward. Our first dance was a song written and performed by my cousin. We sent the music to the band, they did one rehearsal with my cousin, and nailed it on the wedding day. The dance floor was packed the whole night and proved to be exactly what we’d imagined. This is thanks in large part to the amazing energy and talent of these folks. Groove Authority is by far the element of the wedding our guests bring up most when reminiscing about the day. There is no better in Boston and we highly recommend you secure Groove Authority for your wedding day.

e the best wedding band, hire Groove Authority. You won't regret it.

Not only did they execute an amazing performance but working with Paul, the manager was a pleasure. He is so kind and so sincerely wants to make your day perfect. He will try to accommodate all of your wishes but will be honest with you about what he thinks will work or not based on his experience. The value of this band was another huge sell for us. This band continues to charge a reasonable rate though they certainly have the talent to inflate their prices as the rest of the competition seems to have done. Couldn't recommend them enough : )

ght and played all of recommended songs. We also hired Paul to help play music during our ceremony, which worked out nicely. Highly recommend.

ianship (every member was top notch), repertoire, presence, audio/video samples, website, song list, etc. I got in touch with Paul (leader) and was impressed with his thorough communication, accommodation, friendliness, ease with working with us, along with being financially reasonable given their highly professional status. After comparing them to several other bands we realized they were the best we could find. [Keep in mind, I myself am a professional musician with a music degree. I have quite high standards, I know what I am talking about when I say this.] Soon after we made our choice we were able to see them at a rehearsal venue (Jamspot) where 'Groove Authority' does periodic showcases for those who are looking to hire them. When seeing them live, my wife and I realized more than ever that we made a fantastic decision. They are very impressive entertainers who put on a fantastic show, exuding great energy while not sounding overbearing volume-wise. They also play such a wide variety of classics and contemporary hits and styles; Dance, Pop, Funk, R&B, Rock, Jazz. My wife and I would highly recommend 'Groove Authority' to anyone looking for a very talented, high energy band . I cannot count the amount of raving compliments we got during and after our wedding. People were very content with the entire day and 'Groove Authority' was certainly one of the fantastic ingredients. Their energy is contagious and hence they got people dancing on the floor the entire night who I didn't even think would end up there. They even let me sit in on Drums for a few songs, funking it up with them, which was an honor. We couldn't have been happier. Thanks to Paul & 'Groove Authority'! - Carl & Debbie
