Best wedding band ever! We're so glad we picked Irresistible Groove to provide the music for our special day. They did an outstanding job keeping the energy high and keeping people on the dance floor. We received so many compliments during the reception and in the days since telling us how much they loved the band and how much fun they had. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding or any other event!

Irresistible groove was truly incredible. If I could give 10 stars I would. My husband and l wanted everyone of all ages to feel included in our special day and Lee and all of irresistible groove did just that. I gave them free creativity to play whatever I wanted and just asked that they read the room. They certainly did!!! Everyone is still talking about them. It was the best night thanks to them. We love you!!!!!!!

Look no further. Irresistible Groove was incredible. They read the crowd and played amazing songs. The dance floor was pack all night. Our family & guests are still raving about them 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!!

I'm a professional musician and I own a nationally acclaimed award-winning music venue. My now wife is a wedding and events coordinator. For any band we were going to hire, the stakes 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!

WOW! I don't even know where to begin with a review for Irresistible Groove... This band is incredible and has it all! Music is so important to us and we were blown away by Lee and the members of the band. Their setlist variety is huge and they are willing to expand for special requests. When we came to them with an idea for a New Orleans style exit Lee was excited to help us fulfill all our wedding dreams. We had guests dancing that have NEVER been on the dance floor and one guest literally stood there all night and filmed them because he 'had to show everyone how great they were'. I could cry thinking about how perfect our night was and IG was a huge contributor to that. They are fun, professional, communicative and most importantly truly want all your wedding dreams to come true. We want to get married again just to hire this amazing band. Hire them, you will not regret it!

Irresistible Groove played my wedding in Asheville, NC on 9/1/23. I can't sing their praises enough. They were absolutely fantastic. They played a very specific setlist based on our 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!

I cannot speak highly enough of Irresistable Groove. We hired them to play on our property for a small wedding in the Outerbanks and they were absolutely sensational. Initially, I was sold on their promotion video and was excited to see how they would be in person… and they absolutely delivered it on all fronts. Every one of my guests at my wedding couldn't stop commenting on how talented, and engaging the band was and what incredible performers and entertainers each one of them are. Truly an incredible performance and worth every dollar.

The Irresistible Groove played at my daughter’s wedding on June 17th. Absolutely fabulous. They are all very talented musicians and several of them are accomplishes singers. They got 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.

Irresistible Groove is absolutely wonderful. They performed at my daughter’s wedding and we could not have been any more pleased! They play any type of music and nail it every time 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!

Irresistible Grove was incredible. The band played an excellent show at our wedding reception, ranging from oldies to recent hits. They brought great energy, played a 2.5 - 3 hour 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!

If you’re considering Irresistible Groove as your band, this is your sign… do it!!!!
We did A LOT of research on bands in the North Carolina area. We wanted a group that would keep 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!!!

This band was THE BEST wedding band. They knew how to read the room and play things for the crowd they knew would be into. Everyone at our wedding was raving about how good there are, 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.

One of many words that comes to mind is incredible when thinking about this band. They communicated so well with us. Anytime we had a question, we could text them and they would help 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!

Without a doubt, this band gets all 5 stars! They learned our first dance song and absolutely crushed it! We've continued to get messages from all our friends and family about how 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,

After endlessly scouring the internet for wedding bands, we decided on Irresistible Groove for our daughter's wedding. Based on their promotional videos, we felt pretty certain they 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.

Irresistible Groove was unreal at our wedding. Our goal was to have everyone on the dance floor as much as possible and this band made that so easy. These guys are professionals in 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!

Wow, wow, wow! I knew this band was going to take my reception to the next level, but Irresistible Groove still exceeded every expectation. Amazing!
I also want to thank Lee for 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!

Wow! Irresistible Groove lived up to their 5-star ratings! There are usually two camps when it comes to music for a wedding reception = DJ vs Live Band. The DJ crowd usually points 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!!!

Irresistible Groove is hands down the absolute BEST wedding band! My husband and I had the night of our dreams and Irresistible Groove played a huge part in that. They performed our 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!

Irresistible Groove absolutely made our reception! They were so easy to work with leading up to the big day and were flexible with us when we wanted to add an instrument in and change 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!

I really don't have enough good things to say about these guys, they were absolutely fantastic, top to bottom. They were very easy to work with, they nailed our first dance song - "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.

The absolute best band. We hardly even remember our wedding day because it all happened so quickly, but OMG do we remember Irresistible Groove. The dance floor was completely filled 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!

I am the father of the bride and spent a lot of time, along with my wife and the bride and groom, in looking for the perfect band for our daughter’s wedding. When we found and heard “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!!!!

They performed a classic jazz set during the reception dinner that set the tone 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.

Irresistible Groove, and namely Lee, were amazing to work with. They went out of their way to make our day special by queueing ceremony music, providing mics for our toasts, helping 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!!

Irresistible Groove is absolutely amazing. It was really important to us to have a fun, high energy, engaging band to keep the dance floor going throughout the night, and they did 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!

Irresistible Groove did not disappoint!! They are a highly professional, experienced band that can play anything from any genre for all generations! We received so many compliments 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!

This was the best part of our children's wedding celebration! Irresistible Groove personalized our night by getting a quick read on our crowd. Do not skimp on the band... it will 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!

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.

Finding an amazing band was a top priority in our planning process. Irresistible groove was an absolutely incredible choice for our wedding in Durham NC. The sound was perfect- honestly 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!!!!

I can’t say enough about this amazing band! They are complete professionals from beginning to end. They have a list of, what seems like, every song ever that you can choose from to give them direction for your special occasion. We gave them a few selections that we definitely wanted to hear as well as the songs to play for the traditional dances (father/daughter, mother/son, etc.). After that they did their thing and nailed it. The depth and range of the vocalists was mind blowing. The band is spot-on for all of the songs and each musician is phenomenal at their job. Some members of the band play 3,4,5 different instruments! Another thing my wife and I really liked is that they have guitar, bass, horns, piano, female and male vocalists, and a seasoned MC.
We had great communication with the band manager leading up to our event and they were prompt, prepared, set-up timely (all equipment, lights, etc. and sound-checked) and dressed impeccably on our wedding day. With all of the vendors to coordinate and issues that we were having, they were a breath of fresh air and we couldn’t appreciate it more.
During our wedding reception they were the shining stars. Our guests danced like crazy and had the best time! Their song selection was perfect and they delivered a performance that was better than we could have ever imagined. All we kept hearing from our friends and family for weeks was how blown away they were by the band. The ability to deliver songs by Aretha, Bruno Mars, Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, AC/DC, Sublime, and the list goes on and on and on and on, is crazy!
If you are looking for a band for any event, don’t think twice, don’t look anywhere else, just book Irresistible Groove!!!

Irresistible Groove was amazing! They were very accommodating and played at a private residence for our wedding. They were very flexible in setting up in an unknown space and making the best of it. We loved having them and they made our wedding a complete dance party! It was non-stop! They were great - and highly recommend. Thank you!

We hired Irresistible Groove (for brevity I'll shorten to IG) for music at our ceremony and reception in Savannah, Georgia. They were recommended to us by friends who had gotten married in Chapel Hill, North Carolina several months prior. They were amazing; their set lists were extensive and they played a variety of music from Rock to Soul/R&B to Country, Pop, Big Band...the list goes on.
We didn't do a traditional sit down dinner, so the band was tasked with playing for the entire evening. IG kept everyone on the feet the entire night, and it was awesome to see all our guests enjoying themselves in the experience that this band's music and energy helped to create. It was apparent that these guys love what they do; they were into each and every song they played, which invested us and our guests in the party!
The most refreshing thing we encountered was how genuine, pleasant, and professional the IG band was. Many of our family, friends and other vendors had conversations with band members during breaks, before and after they played, and spoke highly of their character. Coordination with the IG band before, during and after our wedding was seamless, and we could not be more satisfied with everyone's attitude and professionalism. They were great helping us make decisions on flow and sequence of events since we didn’t have a traditional wedding, and were reasonably flexible to unexpected changes. IG was responsive to our musical requests, but used their expert knowledge to ensure all our guests could enjoy the entertainment. I highly recommend hiring Irresistible Groove for their talent, professionalism and incredible amount of experience; my husband's company has already booked them for their holiday party!

We would like to write a review for Irresistible Groove, who played at our son's wedding this past September. They were very professional, and we feel we got everything we had wanted and more. Everyone loved the band and
made comments all night at how great the music was at the wedding. Everyone was dancing and having a great time all night. We are glad we hired them.

We had Irresistible Groove play our wedding, and we are very happy we did! They played an awesome show! Everyone in the band is really talented- we felt like we were at a concert! We got so many compliments from our guests,
and a few people even asked for their contact info, so we knew we made the right choice. Entertainment is probably the most important part of the reception and what everyone will remember for years to come. We will have memories for a lifetime thanks to this band.

Hi, Dave and I were truly blessed to have found Irresistible Groove at the last minute. They made our wedding so special and fun! We asked them to do a jazz set during our dinner, and then crank it up to party music after dinner, and the transition was seamless. They played our Father/Daughter dance, our first couples dance, and our Mother/Son dance, perfectly and it was really special. Words to describe Irresistible Groove: excellent, upbeat, fun, classy. They are the best wedding band I have EVER heard by far. We knew we wanted them because of their extensive song list that they provided and the fact they were able to play the songs we wanted for our special dances, which were kind of unique. They can do jazz, country, top 40, R&B, 80s, rock, pretty much every kind of music, so it is something for everyone. They were very pleasant to work with, were timely and professional in every way.

Aw man, what can't I say about these guys!? Their professionalism was on par with something from out of a movie! They were so in tune with our guests, they knew how to smoothe it out during dinner, and then crank it up and keep everyone dancing later in the night. I mean even my grandparents were out there giving our friends a run for their money! Our only regret is that we couldn't party literally all night. They truly left us floating on cloud 9. Wedding or not, best love band experience ever!

So, it's that day and you're nervous, your loved ones are nervous for you and you're thinking I hope today is amazing. Everything goes as planned and it's a good day then this band comes out and smashes it. I couldn't believe it they turned "OK" into bloody fantastic! We can't thank you guys and lady enough! You gave us an absolutely wonderful night! I honestly couldn't recommend better!

I know it sounds crazy to think anyone could have a perfect score, but this band hit on all fronts! Not only did they look great on stage and threw an amazing party that kept everyone dancing all night, but they also were so easy to work with. There was nothing we asked for that they didn't oblige. Even the other vendors enjoyed working with them! All our guests, young an old, had a great time, and we still hear them talk about how good the band was. We couldn't have asked for a better group for our night!

Not only are they So talented, Every song was perfect, they were also so much fun!!! They kept all of us engaged and the dance floor packed! They interacted with my guests coming off the stage and onto the dance floor with us and then pulling some of us on stage with them , all of this without losing an ounce of class! All of my guests thought they were as amazing as I did (I heard it all night!) I could go on and on about how incredible they are, they truly were everything I could have hoped for and more!

GrooveTown was amazing! Our guests are still talking about the band from our March wedding. They were energetic, upbeat, and the playlist kept the dance floor full. They did an excellent job on the father/daughter, mother/son, bouquet and garter toss songs! Highly recommend.

We absolutely LOVED GrooveTown. They were everything we thought they would be and more. They had our guests dancing all night long, their playlist was perfect, and our guests raved about how amazing the band was for days after. Working with Lee and the rest of the band was a breeze. We could not have been more pleased with everything they provided and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band that will keep the dance floor full of all generations, all night long.
