Groove Place Dance Horn Band

We found Groove Place online and were drawn in by positive reviews, so going to reinforce that here. We reached out and got a quick response from the band leader, Dana. Dana was very friendly and poured alot of time and effort into getting to know our music taste, event details, logistics, announcements, etc. They learned multiple songs for us, including our first dance- which they did an incredible job covering. They have an extensive song list and let us pick our must haves, likes, don't likes, etc. Dana put together a great playlist that kept us all moving and out on the dance floor all night. The singers were high-energy, the instrumentalists were talented, and they even let some of our family members get up there and sing with them, it was a great time! Definitely recommend the full 10-piece set, the full horn section is worth it, especially if you have big dancers in your group. On top of all of it they were one of the more reasonably priced groups we talked to, so bonus points for that. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Amazing Band! We were so thrilled to have Groove Place at our wedding. They were so much fun, professional, communicated great, and reasonable. Dana was responsive and helpful in assisting us with deciding our setlist and helped us decide on which songs would get people dancing more! The band even learned one of our songs for us! Groove Place exceeded all of my expectations and had all ages dancing from 4 years of age to 80. They even let my dad jump on stage and sing a song to the both of us, making it very memorable. I've been getting texts all week on how getting a band was the way to go and Groove Place will be what I recommend to anyone who wants have a good time at their wedding.

We were so thrilled to have Groove Place at our wedding. They were affordable, professional, and fun. Dana was responsive and helpful in assisting us with deciding our setlist. The band even learned a few songs for us! As a musician myself, I can be picky about live music, and Groove Place exceeded all of my expectations. They even let me jump on stage and sing a song to my bride. I've been getting texts all week about how great Groove Place was and will definitely be recommending them to all of my engaged friends.

Dana and his band was amazing. They kept the entire wedding up on the dance floor all night. We received so many comments from not only the wedding guests but the Elks members that could hear them on the lounge side. Prior to that Dana was amazing at helping plan our event and even gave advice on how to keep the flow of the party going. We had a few last minute changes with needing to move the wedding inside as well as changing out a groomsman. They were able to adapt on the spot. I cannot recommend the Groove Place enough!

Great Band..... was great to work with planning the event from the very beginning, thorough in their preparation with a giant list o songs to choose from. Performance was awesome... everyone danced the night away and then some! Highly recommend them for your wedding or special event.

Honestly planning a wedding is one of the most stressful events you can go through. The two most important things you can have at a wedding to make it successfully (for the entertainment of your guests) is a good open bar and a bad ass band/DJ. Not knowing any DJs or Bands we were fortunate enough to book the best band on the market which is Groove Place LLC! This guys showed up with their game place and played the best tunes! We couldn’t be happier with the performance and coordination of this band! Dana did an amazing job meeting with us, as well as checking out the venue space (because we lived 4 hours away) to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests loved the band and will be talking about their performance for decades to come! They were truly the best and rocked the night away with amazing instrumentals and vocals to all our song requests! They even played Pepas by Farruko with their trumpet Player on the dance floor with our guest which was a special request by us. You will not find a better band on the market that is more accommodating or have the abilities of this amazing band! Weddings or events are stressful enough planning but having a amazing band coming up to perform and take the party to the next level is unreal expectation you should not over look! Thank you so much Dana and the rest of the member of Groove place!!! You guys ROCK!

We are so happy we hired Groove Place to perform at our wedding after hearing them at two of my cousins' weddings several years ago! They truly made our wedding day so fun and memorable. The band was so friendly, professional, and personal and were interactive with the guests, keeping everyone on the dance floor the entire night! They are all so talented and know a tremendous amount of songs, and were excited to learn a couple of new songs for us. You could feel their love and excitement for what they do and it was contagious to everyone on the dance floor! We have gotten so many compliments from guests on how great and fun they were. We highly recommend hiring Groove Place for your wedding!!

We hired this band to perform at our wedding, and they delivered the absolute best possible performance we could have imagined!! They were super easy to work with, very responsive; especially the week leading up to the wedding (when you're most stressed). We asked them to learn several songs, which they not only did, but also played them so well, it was as if they were playing the tune for years. We recently got our wedding video back, and there wasn't a single song that our guests weren't on the dance floor. They have the absolute perfect mix of music to get folks of all ages up and out on the dance floor. Would absolutely book them again if we had to!!!!

Don't hesitate to reach out to this band! They were fantastic all around and our wedding guests talk about how fabulous the band was daily. If you're looking for a party band with horns etc. etc. this is it! They are incredibly flexible on song choices (that was important to me when looking for a band, no one knows your guests music preferences like you will) along with options for music at the cocktail hour as well. Communication, band set up and tear down, along with all other details were seamless. Check them out!

Groove Place played at our wedding with their full 10-piece horn band and absolutely brought the house down. The dance floor was full all night long, and after the wedding, many of our guests let us know that this was one of the best bands they had ever seen at a wedding. All of the musicians were incredibly talented, and it was easy to see that they have great chemistry with each other and their audience. Dana, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with; he had a meeting with us to understand exactly what we were looking for from the band, reviewed the (enormous!) song list with us, and even learned a new song for our first dance. I cannot recommend this band highly enough. If they are available for your date, do yourself and your guests a favor and book them!

We LOVE Groove place!! They were very enthusiastic and energetic. The nine piece band kept our friends and family dancing the entire night. Dana was very organized and so nice to work with. The band learned some new songs for us and killed it!!! The three piece jazz band at cocktail hour was a lovely touch. We have heard nothing but great things from our guests about the band and would highly recommend them to anyone!

I first met Groove Place at my brother’s wedding over 6 years ago. They did such a fantastic job at my his wedding that family members would casually bring up how great they were in the following years. When I got engaged and my now husband told me that he wanted a band, we didn’t even bother looking around. Dana told me that since I last saw them, they have only gotten better. I seriously believe that that was an understatement. Once again, the dance floor was packed the entire evening. They did an incredible job at mixing in newer and older music so that everyone found something they liked. Our guests were raving about them on the way back to the hotel so they were once again a huge hit. Even with a postponement, Groove Place was so easy and fun to work with. We cannot thank them enough for making the night absolutely perfect.

Groove Place Band was awesome! The musicians were very skilled and the singers voices were the best. Their 10 piece band filled the venue with their superb music made all our guests want to dance. All our guests remarked how great the band was and how much they enjoyed them. They also learned songs that we specifically requested and they performed them to perfection. They made our special occasion even more special. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band.

After seeing how amazing Groove Place was for my sister's wedding, it was a no brainer to hire them. They were our first call after we booked the venue! They are so professional and responsive with emails. Any questions or changes I had were met with flexibility and genuine care to make our day the best. We had a mix of all age groups and EVERYONE was on the dance floor all night! From our first dance to the end of the night, everything was perfect. Guests are still contacting me weeks later to say how much they loved Groove Place!

We hired Groove Place for our wedding in June 2020. Due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19 we had to reschedule our celebration to June 2021. Dana, the band leader, was easy to work with throughout the process and we are so glad we decided to have our full reception (and a HUGE 1st anniversary celebration) in June 2021. Because we were unable to meet in person Dana kept in touch with us via text, email and Zoom meetings. We knew having a horn band at our wedding was a non-negotiable. We interviewed several bands but once we saw Groove Place at a showcase we knew they were the band for us. We were impressed by Dana’s attention to detail and passion for the band. We could tell that each member of the band was dedicated to making our celebration memorable and went above and beyond to engage with our guests at the wedding. Several guests remarked that Groove Place was the best wedding band they’ve seen. They learned a few songs for us, including a special song for our father and daughter dance, and they welcomed Alex’s uncle to the stage to play alongside them. We had so much fun dancing to all of the music and even when the band took breaks they had an awesome pre-recorded playlist going and our guests were still dancing. We are incredibly pleased we hired Groove Place for our wedding and have been actively watching their website in hopes of seeing them live again soon. Alex and Rob Rooke

Dana and the rest of the Groove Place crew, You guys ROCKED IT!!! Thank you so much for bringing the party to life! We had an amazing time and everyone loved you guys! The 3 songs you learned were especially great. Clearly our crew is a big fan of Mr Brightside and it was a HUGE hit as our last song of the night, even with your new band member/our best man Freddy as your lead singer :) . I really loved when the saxophone player came out to the dance floor and played amongst all of the guests! My only advice to you would be to get more active on social media (Instagram/Facebook) and post lots of videos for future couples to see your talents! We will be sure to send pictures/videos for you to repost once we get them back! Thank you guys again so much!! Maddi and Pete

Just wanted to send a note of thanks for the amazing entertainment you all provided on May 15th at our son, Logan’s wedding at Catalpa. We have never seen Danielle and him so happy! Your voices and music were outstanding and everyone was “singing” your praises. The best wedding band ever! Will definitely recommend you to our friends. Thanks again and blessings to you all. Karen and Dale Schleicher

Hire this band for my son’s wedding. They play the cocktail hour with a jazz ensemble and full 10 piece band for the reception We could not have asked for a better band. Dana the bandleader met with us and went over all the species and made sure our request we completed. He was in touch during our entire wedding planning. Everyone was in the dance floor and stated “this band is AMAZING!! The dance floor was packed all night!! Would hire Groove Place again and again!!

These guys and gals were awesome! Groove Place is one of the best wedding bands my wife and I have heard and it was so great to have them be a part of our wedding. Our guests were dancing all night and all told us how much they enjoyed the wedding because of the music. Dana was awesome to deal with throughout the whole process. He was able to meet with us in person to go over a very wide range of songs that the band could play. They were also very willing to learn songs that we wanted to hear that were not on their list. Overall, I would highly recommend Groove Place to any couple who wants to have an awesome band be a part of their big day!

There are no words to describe what a FANTASTIC job Dana and the entire Groove Place Band did. From the moment we reached out to them and visited their showcase to the last dance of our wedding reception, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Dana made us feel so comfortable and we felt confident that they had everything under control. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! They helped us keep to our timeline and ran the show flawlessly. Our wedding guests fed off their energy and there was not a single moment that the dance floor wasn’t packed. We danced our butts off from the moment we stepped in the room. THANK YOU to Dana and the rest of the crew!!! Hope to party with you all again soon.

Groove Place was the highlight of our reception! This band was great and learned all the songs we asked for. Dana (the band leader), was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. His easy-going attitude made it very comfortable to ask for changes or requests. The song selection process, organizing the timeline and set up was done flawlessly. And when it came time to play, these guys brought the house down. I am still receiving compliments on the band. At one point, we had a saxophone and a trumpet player playing out in the crowd. It was as interactive as we wanted it to be. Everyone had a great time. Thanks again Dana and band!

I can't say enough about how amazing Groove Place was. Honestly, a highlight of our wedding! First, Dana is amazing to work with. He is the first vendor we had to work on logistics with us, was organized, friendly, and thoughtful. We loved working with him and appreciated his fun, flexible attitude when we didn't always have answers for him. He was resourceful and made sure to get everything right even when we didn't give him guidance! Next, the band is INCREDIBLE! They were fun, engaging, and played music everyone loved. They did an awesome job with our song even though they had never used it before our wedding (We chose "you're my best friend" by Queen!) and a few of my relatives said they actually had to check sometimes to see if the music was live or if they'd started playing a CD all of a sudden. It sounded that good! If you are planning a wedding, your first question should not be "When is our venue available?" Instead, your first question should be "When is Groove Place available?" They made our night and were reasonably priced, to boot! We will recommend them to anyone and everyone. Our wedding was SO MUCH FUN thanks to these guys!

The band was so great! They learned a new song for us and played it beautifully and our entrance songs and first dance were perfect. In the middle of our reception the fire alarms went off and we were evacuated for about 20 minutes, but the band made it fun for everyone and continued playing on the steps of our venue. They were even accommodating with playing an extra 20 minutes for everyone once we were allowed back inside. HIGHLY recommend this band! They were nothing short of amazing!

Almost too much fun!! High energy and so nice to work with! Awesome band, made our night perfect!!

Groove Place Band made our night! They were so engaging with our guests and had every person up dancing! We got such great feedback from our guests which is not a surprise to us. Working with Dana and the band was so easy as they are incredibly kind and knowledgable. Booking Groove Place was one of the best decisions that we made!

Groove Place blew it out of the park AGAIN! They played for my daughters wedding so we knew we had to use them for my sons wedding. They kept the place jumping! What a fun evening!

By far the best of the best. These guys absolutely crushed it and were amazing from start to finish. Every single person said it was the best wedding band they have seen and the dance floor was at max capacity all night. Being located near NYC we had a lot of choices but Groove Place did an A+ job with the sales support (Jamie rocks), planning, and most importantly the execution. If you want to dance all night and have everyone talking about the music, call these guys now!

Having Groove Place Horn Band made my wedding exceptional. The band learned our wedding song and songs special to our families. The dance floor was full the entire night. That night and the next day everyone from the wedding continually asked “where did you find that band”. Everyone raved about them. Entertainment is so important at a wedding and i am so happy i choose Grove Place for my band! I can not say enough about them

This band blew it out of the park for my daughter's wedding at Skytop, PA. Everyone was dancing the entire night. It was a party that no DJ could provide. They were the talk of the guests that night and the weekend. I can't begin to tell you how many people came up to me and commented on how great they were. I had text messages the next day asking for the name of the band. My friends keep bringing up how unbelievable they were. Hearing the band in their home does not do it justice. Goove Place Dance Horn Band provided top-notch entertainment.. Dana was wonderful to deal with and he worked with my daughter and her fiance to learn songs that were important to them. They are the best!!!

Groove Place was nothing less than AMAZING at our wedding last weekend. From our initial meeting, Dana left us feeling reassured that he would make our wedding day very special. During our final meeting, we had thrown some unique ideas to Dana, and the band executed at a most professional level. Our friends and family throughout the night and over the last week have been RAVING about the band's performance. If you're looking for an awesome band, that will keep your party going--- this is the band for you.

These guys are absolutely amazing. Worth every penny. My guests absolutely loved them. Dana is really great and easy to work with. They did an excellent job despite the sweltering June humidity of our outdoor wedding. I'd recommend them to anyone.

They did a fantastic job!! It all turned out very beautiful and fun. Everyone had an awesome time. The sets were great and everyone loved the music. I think I missed a lot from having to do pictures and cake and all that other stuff, but when I was able to make it to the floor, I had a great time. The kids were loving it too! The sax player played on the floor while the kids danced along! It was a wonderful night and they did an amazing job keeping everyone up and dancing and having fun! I look forward to seeing them again!

Groove Place played at my sister's wedding 6 years ago and my family STILL talks about how it was the most they've ever danced at a wedding. So when it came time to book a band for my wedding, Groove Place was the only option! From our first meeting with Dana we knew we were in good hands - he is so friendly, funny, and really knows what he's doing. Even with my countless emails leading up to the wedding he happily responded to each one! He spent time really listening to us and offered great advice from timeline logistics to song recommendations. They know exactly how to keep the momentum going at a party! Groove Place really goes above and beyond to make your day special and personal. My fiance surprised me by playing a beautiful piano song - Dana had been secretly working with him to make sure it was absolutely perfect! My wedding also happened to fall on the day of the Fiesta Bowl, so when Penn State won the band immediately played the fight song - everyone loved it! They learned a few songs for us and played them beautifully (including our bridal party entrance songs). Our first dance was to a Queen song and the band absolutely KILLED it! The dance floor was full the entire night - guests who claimed they "don't dance" couldn't tear themselves away. Dana and the band really made us feel so special and made our wedding absolutely perfect. Thank you Groove Place!!

Groove Place was AMAZING! So easy to work with, very responsive, and they truly know their craft. They definitely transformed the atmosphere of the reception, and we received MANY compliments about the band and the music at and since the reception! Hiring this band was definitely one of the wisest decision we made about the wedding.

Groove Place absolutely crushed it at our wedding. They played great sets and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! They were professional and kind, from the original open house they had to display their talents, to the personal meeting with Dana discussing our idea of good dance music and specialty songs! They learned our song for us, which is super obscure, and they did a beautiful job performing it. On top of it all, they were affordable, especially for a 10 piece horn band! I have to believe part of this is because you aren't going through an entertainment company, which also adds the personal touch. By the end of the night Groove Place felt like part of the family, we absolutely loved having them at our wedding!!!!

We hired Groove Place to play our wedding in August, 2017, and they were FANTASTIC! We knew that after going to their showcase at Dana's house we were in for something great, but that is an understatement. We chose the 10 piece band. Dana was not only professional, but warm and inviting and was a pleasure to work with when planning the details of the wedding set list. He was accommodating, organized, and answered all of our questions without delay. On the night of, our guests couldn't stop talking about the band and how great they were. They loved the song selection and everyone was up and dancing. The two singers for the band were both excellent and had a really wide range which made for a varied performance and kept people of all ages up and dancing. I was always weary of reading these reviews on these wedding websites because either they're all glowing or filled with complaints, but let me tell you, I genuinely have no complaints about Groove Place! HIRE THEM!

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Groove Place, that it's hard to know where to start. We knew after hearing the band play their first song at their showcase that they were the band for us! Dana was an absolute pleasure to work with, always reassuring us that everything was going to work out seamlessly. The night of our wedding, they absolutely blew us away! The music was incredible and they kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. Our guests had nothing but great things to say like they felt like they were at their own personal concert & the music choices were so good that they didn't want to leave the dance floor. I would 100% recommend Groove Place to anyone considering hiring a band for their special day!

Dana and his crew were wonderful to work with. On the day of the wedding they arrived on time and set up sound for the outdoor ceremony...all during a heat advisory and epic humidity. We didn't have to worry about a thing! During the reception my maid of honor decided to rap and the band backed her up with a beat on the spot! They learned a few songs outside of their rep just for our reception and played them beautifully. Everyone was on the floor all night and we received multiple compliments on the music selection and the energy of the band! Thank you Groove Place for making it a night to remember!!

I think I speak for everyone when I say we were blown away by you and your bands performance! I knew you guys would be good, but I had no idea you would be that great! The love train with the horns going in the loft, and your solos right in the middle of the crowd was awesome. The songs you played could not have been picked better. The fact that you guys learned Radar love complete with the guitar and drum solos was icing on the cake that we will never forget. You really did make the night even more special for us and we truly appreciate it. You were great to work with. We could tell from the start that you were the right choice and we never second guessed that. You put us at ease during the planning stages and totally blew the roof off the barn. We will definitely be giving you the highest praise possible on the wedding sites and please let us know any other way we can help by being a reference etc.

Groove Place Dance Horn Band did an amazing job for us at our wedding that took place at the Horticulture Center. in Fairmount Park. From their showcase, planning along the way, and finally to our wedding, they kept everything going smoothly and kept our guests on their feet! We would definitely recommend Dana and his band. Dana is very accommodating and his main focus to make sure everyone is engaged and having fun dancing the night away. Groove Place Dance and Horn Band learned new songs for our special dances that weren't on their playlist and performed them beautifully. They even were nice enough to end the night with an encore in tribute to my parents, that was a touching surprise and an excellent conclusion to a "Wonderful Night." Do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding!

Based on multiple recommendations from family members and experiencing Groove Place at their weddings, we knew Groove Place had to be the entertainment for our wedding. We were beyond thrilled by Dana's enthusiasm while working with us. 5 stars does not seem enough to rate how wonderful Groove Place is. From the elegant dinner music to the Love Train (my favorite part) and learning our first dance and getting the most people to the dance floor I have seen, I would highly recommend Groove Place to anyone who puts a priority to the entertainment at their wedding! To Dana and the gang, thanks so much, you are simply the best! Love Jill and Joe Sessa

I knew Groove Place is a great band, because I heard them a year earlier at my cousin's wedding, but they exceeded every expectation I had. Dana was a pleasure to work with - very professional and detail-oriented, yet easygoing. They have an extensive, constantly-updating repertoire and plenty of old/new songs from which to choose a "must play" list, but they really know how to read and play to the crowd. They kept the dance floor packed all night long with guests from all generations. We are actually still getting compliments and rave reviews on the band from our guests! You will NOT be disappointed with Groove Place!

If you're looking for an amazing wedding band look no further!! Groove place is absolutely amazing and we couldn't have thought of another band to have had at our wedding. Everyone in the band are super sweet and they really get into it! Near the end of the night they called my husband up on stage and had him sing with the lead singer to one of his favorite songs! A memory I will never forget and thank them for. Everyone I speak to now comments on how awesome they were and how many songs they know. By far the best band to book for your wedding or any other event! :)

The Groove Place ROCKED our wedding reception (and ceremony!) in Avalon, NJ! They got everyone on the dance floor with a mix of current songs and the oldies everyone loves! They did an amazing job, and everyone mentioned how much they LOVED the band! Thank you, Groove Place!!!

Groove Place was one of the first bands recommended to us for our wedding (they have already done several other family weddings), but of course, we did our research and checked out a few showcases. It didn't take us long to realize that the first choice was the best choice! Not only for the quality of music and entertainment, but also for the price! They were an incredible 10 piece band. We had a wedding of over 200 guests and everyone was having an absolute blast. Their catalog was extensive and covered a very wide range of styles (which was crucial considering the age range of our guests). I cannot recommend this band enough! Do yourself a favor an check out one of their showcases before booking with anyone else.
