Irresistible Groove/GrooveTown "The Knot Best Of 13-17

em 2 weeks later. They also learned a song or two that my daughter really wanted and they were great about it. Wish I was hosting another wedding so we could hire them again!!

kes were definitely going to be high. I have a lot of friends in really great bands but we decided to stay away from using our friends and take a chance on a band we didn't know that lived in the area where we were having our wedding. My wife got ahold of the East Coast Entertainment Booking Agency which her company often uses for weddings where we live. I gave her a price range and a description of what I felt we needed. Soon after I was sent a list of bands from the company and I, of course, was EXTREMELY picky. I also had to consider a list of songs that could cover everyone from the younger crowd on up to the relatives who were in their 90s. As I browsed down the list bands some would seem corny, or had singers that I felt were trying too hard, or just plain didn't like, but as I got further down I put on Irresistible Groove's promo video and I knew that I found what I was looking for! To me, the price was great and their song list had everything we could have wanted for our wedding! I really loved the singer's voice. At the same time, in fulfilling such a vast song list, other people in the band could take the lead on singing. Some could also switch to different instruments so that they could seamlessly nail down the many different sounds and styles of such a vast song list authentically. My reception entertainment was now covered! Yay!!! However... I still needed some form of entertainment for my cocktail party which was to take place before that. I was looking for a very dynamic Jazz Trio. Sure enough, they assured me they could do that with some of their members and the add-on price to make that happen was fantastic! Fast forward to the wedding... The Jazz trio started right after our ceremony and we're completely legit! They had no music tablets or sheets in front of them anywhere and they were an excellent fit for the cocktail vibe! I knew with the way these guys could swing some Jazz that they were truly top-level pro musicians! Soon after the cocktail party we walked in as Mr. and Mrs. for our first dance at the reception which the band executed perfectly. Once dinner was over, the lights went down and they instantly brought the party to life!! They literally NEVER stopped playing and everything they did musically was amazing!! It was a ball of energy from start to finish! Their sound levels we're great! (That's a big thing for me and my Mom as well) They we're so accommodating with anything I asked of them and I honestly could not have found a better, more professional band for my wedding! They completely blew my expectations away!! I am now a fan for life and I'll be recommending them to everyone I know! BOOK THEM!!! You'll be glad you did!

ur asks and were the talk of the wedding. They also did an amazing job of running the show and ensuring the event had a professional feel and energy. Can't recommend them enough - they are top-notch musicians and great to work with. Book them now!

ot everyone on the dance floor for two straight hours. Amazing energy. Many of our guests said this was the best band they ever heard at an event. I would agree. Their play list ranged from 1980s to today. I have hired many bands and this group is the best. Plus, they are easy to work with.

me regardless of whether it’s instrumental, jazz, country, pop, rock, hip-hop, ….they do it all. We were amazed and our guests were equally impressed. They performed at the ceremony portion with sax and guitar, performed couple’s first dance, father/bride, mother/groom dances, instrumental during dinner, and then got nearly everyone out on the dance floor after dinner. with a variety. They also MC’d the evening for us. I truly did not have to worry about keeping everything on our planners timeline. They stayed on point. Highly recommend! They will make your wedding perfect!

set, and even learned a song or two as special requests. Beyond the full band playing at the reception, we hired Lee and his team to manage the sound for our entire day -- managing the sound system during our ceremony, setting up speakers and running our playlists during cocktail hour / dinner, and kindly MCing introductions for the wedding party and other programming. They exceeded our expectations, and many of our guests complimented them on how awesome they were. Could not recommend highly enough!

ep people on the dance floor the entire night and a group with a large play list. I’m telling you, no one left the dance floor once they started playing. People have been raving about them ever since!!! They did an amazing job! It was such a fun night and a huge part of it was this band. They have great communication, talent and are just a good group of people. I highly recommend them for any event but especially your wedding!!!

re, one guest even booked them for an event the next weekend on the spot. I can’t say enough good things about this group they were awesome in every way possible.

lp ease our mind. They even went so far as to learn 5 new songs for our wedding- we were blown away. I (bride) was speaking with Lee, the band leader, and he told me to not stress about anything and to enjoy the day. What amazing people! We love this band so much!

much fun and amazing the band was throughout the entire night. My brother, when he gets married, plans to hire them as they are a guaranteed favorite part of any wedding night! Thank you again to the whole team, and especially Lee, for making our wedding so great! Thanks, Bennett and Rawls

y would be a good fit for our crowd but as we have experienced in the past, it's really hard to know how a band will perform until you actually see them live. I'm struggling to find the words that could possibly describe their talent but all I can say is the minute they started playing everyone was BLOWN AWAY!! Literally, our guests stopped dead in their tracks with their mouths open looking at each other in disbelief. They were SO GOOD! Irresistible Groove is not your average "wedding band." Lee, the band leader and saxophonist, and the entire band are all extraordinary musicians not to mention really nice guys. There is not one weak link in the group and having several musicians and passionate music lovers as guests at the wedding, this was not an easy crowd to please. Everyone was so awestruck that at times our event felt more like a concert than a wedding reception! Lee and the band did an equally amazing job of emceeing the evening, intuitively knowing when to quietly slip into the background, and when to get everyone up dancing and having fun!! Simply remarkable. Clearly, I've gone from that person who rarely writes a review to gushing about Irresistible Groove but they are worthy of every word! Thank you again, Lee. You and the band made our event memorable and for that we are grateful.

perfect choice for our wedding celebration!

finish. The band was easy to work with, professional, and sounded amazing as well as brought a ton of energy and fun to our wedding day. Not a regret in the world with this band.

all regards. They clearly have done a lot of weddings because the wedding party introductions and all of their transitions were so well done. They played some amazing jazz during our dinner hour and then immediately turned it up when dinner was finished and we were ready to dance. Lee, the point of contact within the band, was super easy to work with and made me very confident going into our big day that we hired the right band. We asked them to learn a specific Bruce Springsteen song just a few days before our wedding that wasn't on their regular song list, they played the song so well! We couldn't have asked for a better band for our wedding and highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a great time!

being so organized. I’m a pandemic bride who delayed my reception, so I worked on planning the event for more than two years. Lee saved every note I sent him, and he and the band brought my visions to life with such ease. You can’t ask for a better emcee, and their live music will have your guests dancing all night long. Thank you!

to the fact bands can't play the music we want to dance to, etc. Well, there is nothing like a live band and after the night was over, the DJ crowd were converts to live bands! These guys were the best! They had a long song list we could select from, and even if it wasn't on the list, they still learned and played the songs we requested (for father/daughter dance, etc.) We had an eclectic group of people at our reception...they never left the dance floor and were all singing word for word. IG new the crowd well and served up a great night! Lee was great and very welcoming and made it easy for us to contract and not worry about anything. They also helped with the actual ceremony playing background music, etc. Highly recommended!!!

to anyone! Very talented singers and musicians!

king it down! Thanks so much Irresistible Groove! Jennipher B.

night!

r first dance, father/daughter and mother/son songs, classic hits and countless songs that are popular today. They had everyone dancing! I literally danced the entire reception and our guests continue to comment on how incredible the band was. Irresistible Groove keeps the party going with their high energy and immense talent. They are so easy to work with and made our wedding a night to remember. You will not regret booking Irresistible Groove!

nge the footprint of the band. They also agreed to learn our first dance song and Mother/Groom dance song, and it was so much better to have them perform the songs than to play the recording. They played a great variety of music and kept the party going. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a band!

"Wild Horses" - and played what felt like a very personalized set list without any input from us. We considered requesting some specific songs be played during the ceremony, but I'm so glad we just let them do their thing, they hit everything that we wanted and then some. They rolled out everything from the Rolling Stones to Outkast, James Brown to 'Old Town Road', and even sprinkled in some Taj Mahal to scratch our blues itch. They switched between a variety of genres and eras seamlessly and kept the dance floor full all night, which was a solid 4 hours, and brought an incredible energy to the whole night. I can't recommend Irresistible Groove highly enough, they were one of the best parts of our wedding night and I'm confident that they'll make any party they're at better.

d the entire night - these guys really read our crowd and knew what to play according to the energy in the room. They have a diverse song choice already and were so willing to learn some newer songs for us, as well as our First Dance song that was not on their song list (Luke Combs). Lee was so patient in the calls with us leading up to our day and really listened to the vision that we had to keep the party going as long as possible. We had the best time of our lives on our wedding night thanks to Irresistible Groove, and cannot wait to see our video to re-live those moments on the dance floor. The talent of this group is unparalleled - being from the NJ area, we've been to tons of weddings with bands, and we can undoubtedly say that IG is the best of the best. If you are on the fence about considering a band, and have wiggle room in your budget, look no further than these guys. They have the ability to get your guests that don't even dance on the dance floor, and will literally raise the roof! Lee, thank you for everything!!! You guys are so amazing and we are so thankful that we had you as such a vital party of our day. We'd recommend you a million times over to everyone!

d “Irresistible Groove”, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. Their sound and recommendations said it all. The band leader, Lee, was very responsive and immediately got back to me to answer questions or to talk about the wedding and music we envisioned; even when I contacted him multiple times to go over details, he was patient and thoughtful. He was so responsive, he even texted and attempted to call me when stranded overseas on a vacation. The wedding was November 2, 2019 in Blowing Rock, NC. The band was extremely professional and friendly, arrived early, overcame some logistical issues that arose at the venue, and were very accommodating. A duo from the band, the acoustic guitar and the saxophone musicians, played the ceremony music, and a duo of the acoustic guitar and bass played the cocktail music. They were excellent and exactly what we wanted! The seven-member band played the reception and were fantastic. They got everyone into the party mood and out on the dance floor. Their playlist was extensive and cross many styles of music, and they accommodated our song requests that had memories for the bride and groom, and the bride’s parents. Their music and vocals were outstanding, and we got so many complements from the guests who stated that they were the best band they had heard at a wedding or other event. I have attended a lot of weddings and other events and can confirm how good they are. My wife and I highly recommend them for any event, whether a wedding or just an event with good music and fun. You made the reception the best and brought big smiles to the bride and groom! Thank you all for making it a great night, in the North Carolina mountains, with a clear sky and cold temperatures, and even fireworks at the cake cutting. We are looking forward to attending another event open to the public to see you perform again!!!!

mix of motown / beach music and today's hits, which is exactly what we were looking for! They were lively and energetic and such a great part of our reception!!

nd raved about the music all night long! Lee, the band leader, was a joy to work with and made the process as easy as possible! They went above and beyond and we will be forever grateful.

one for the evening and then turned it up a notch with party songs for the rest of the night. Our family and friends were in awe at the talent and energy that the band possesses. The band was extremely friendly and easy to work with throughout the entire process, as well. If you’re searching for a band for your wedding or event, you need Irresistible Groove!

g us surprise guests with a second line parade (that we had to rearrange due to the rain -- they were so flexible!), and killing it with their performance for our reception dance party. They touched on so many varieties of music for us and nailed every song. We got a lot of compliments on our wedding and most of them were for the band. It was the highlight for everyone and I'd highly recommend investing in making Irresistible Groove part of your big day!!

(and were having a great time with us too!), and we loved the bands range and flexibility with songs. If you want to hear it, they can play it. I would recommend them to anyone having a wedding looking for a band. Thanks Irresistible Groove!

just that. They are a super talented group of musicians that can play a wide range of genres for all crowds. Leading up to the event, we communicated with Lee, the band leader, to share our vision of the night. He executed it perfectly! The dance floor was packed the entire night just like we hoped. Our wedding guests are still telling us how much fun they had at our reception and we owe credit to Irresistible Groove for keeping the party going. Each member – the male and female lead vocalists, the sax, guitarists, drummer, everyone – are incredible performers. I highly recommend Irresistible Groove to anyone considering a band for their wedding reception!

on how fun and wonderful the band was! Lee, the bandleader, was very communicative and organized prior to the wedding day. He even worked behind the scene with one of our guests to help coordinate a surprise solo! Not only did they sound great on the stage, they were all so fun and nice and easy to work with. The only item I would change was that the band requested we do a short video to review them as the reception was ending. With so much going on, I would have preferred a written review (such as this), but perhaps this is just personal preference:) Irresistible Groove is an ace-in-the-hole for a high-end, supremely talented, professional band experience!

tional ones. They were also able to read the crowd and change songs to get people dancing.

hined on the day of. We did not have to worry about a thing. And the music ROCKED! Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the band was. They kept the party going all night long! BOOK THIS BAND

make or break a good time. Hands down Irresistible Groove, they give it their all and the crowd was non stop engaged during the entirety of their playing. The venue where they played lost electricity for a spell and I never knew it. Irresistible Groove kept playing with acoustical instruments, had the entire wedding guest list on the dance floor with an incredible rhythm. Our special night would not have been nearly as memorable without this group. Horns, powerful female vocalist and Lee Johnson who coordinated it all made my job so easy. Grateful for the energy this Band put into our celebration! Thumbs up and Gratefully we say Thank you to the entire group!

did not leave the dance floor the entire night.

e, we knew they had to play at our wedding too! I can't recommend this band enough! Thankyou for making our wedding spectacular! -Brooke and Eric

ng the meal, and then played great dance music, which kept the dance floor full! And, they played non-stop during the entire event! Amazing! We wholeheartedly recommend them!

so many people asking about the band and telling me what a great time they had all night. They can play such a wide range of songs and were such a pleasure to work with throughout the process. Thank you for making my wedding so much fun. HIGHLY recommend.

including Motown and yacht rock. Our guests were dancing the entire night, and the band played for over 2 hours straight through. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great party band for their wedding.

estly they sounded even better than in their videos. Their vocals are stunning. I had a million comments from guests at how wonderful they were. I was worried that after the cake cutting that the party would wind down, but they knew exactly how to pump up the crowd and keep it going. They started with classics and ended with top 40 for the younger and more energetic crowd. I know it was my wedding but it was the most fun I've had dancing probably ever. Thank you!! Book them if you want to host an unforgettable party!!!!
