The Groove Motive

We haven’t stopped hearing from our guests about how much fun The Groove Motive was at our wedding! We could not be happier. They had the crowd hyped from the moment they started to the moment they finished - which is exactly what kind of party we wanted to throw! They were interactive with our guests in the best way and had an amazing energy that filled the room and the dance floor. They also MC’ed all of the other special parts of our night (the bride and groom entrance, announcements, dances, group photos, cake cutting, etc.) They are true professionals with amazing musical talent - Pierre and Kelly have great voices and the rest of the band played amazingly! On top of being amazing performers, they are all such nice people. I went up to each of them at the end of the night to thank them and they all had such nice things to say about the evening and how much they enjoyed it as well. If you are looking for a band for your wedding that does a great job and knows how to have fun with your guests - this is the band for you! Thanks to The Groove Motive for helping to make our night special :)

Groove Motive MADE our wedding! The music was incredible! Pierre was so inclusive with guests and created the exact type of atmosphere we were looking for. Kelly has an out of this world voice. Rich's energy is unreal. The horns!!! We are so lucky we had the opportunity to have them play at our wedding. Can not say enough good things!! Thank you!! -Melissa Z. Nolan & Brent <3

My wife and I hired "The Groove Motive" for our January Charlottesville wedding! We received many compliments from guests about how the band was so talented and raised the energy level. They interacted well with the crowd and played lots of "oldies but goodies". Some other fun moments included them asking us to sing songs, calling out people for having good dance moves, etc. BUT we were also frustrated with some aspects of our experience. Specifically, we emailed with them in late November to figure out a few questions, and we had to email them again in early January before getting a response from the band. Further, we were hoping to play some more modern music that our friends would recognize and enjoy, but they responded that they needed 5 weeks notice to play songs off the set list (but they didn't respond to our email 8 weeks ahead of time until about 4 weeks beforehand). So, we audibled and asked for some specific songs on the setlist to be played, but not all of those were played either. That was a little disappointing on the wedding day to not have more music that people our age (we were born in 92 and 94) would recognize. In sum, even though there were some communication issues, The Groove Motive did a great job bringing energy and entertainment to our wedding.

The Groove Motive was by far the best thing about my wedding! Pierre and the band were so incredible and attentive. They kept the party dancing all night. So many guests were asking for their information to hire them for their own events in the coming future. I've never had so much fun with a band! They were talented, professional, and able to read the crowd perfectly. Also, they did not take A SINGLE BREAK!!! They were above and beyond what I could have wanted. Reviews and videos just do not do them justice! See them live!!!
