We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Groove Authority for our wedding on 9/6/24 at the Sea Crest! From start to finish, Paul was a total rockstar, keeping everything organized, accommodating all of our requests, and communicating with us every step of the way. The band’s performance was simply incredible—our guests were on the dance floor all night, and the energy was through the roof! The music was amazing, and they played everything we wanted (and more!). If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, Groove Authority is the way to go. Best decision ever! -

Groove Authority drove from Boston to northern Vermont to provide entertainment for our wedding reception and ceremonial music for our wedding held on 20-July-2024. We had an absolutely amazing time: Groove Authority is an incredible band. We loved everything they performed, and they did it with precision and artistry. Best wedding reception band ever! Paul communicated with us many times in preparation - he was always clear, prompt, and very easy to plan the festivities with. He helped us make good decisions and was flexible when we wanted to do something out of the ordinary. My wife and I are both very particular and planned so many things in detail. Paul and Groove Authority executed every detail perfectly. We downloaded their song list and highlighted all the songs we wanted them to be sure to play. And they did. Every musician in the band is extremely skilled. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We wanted to find an extraordinary band for our celebration, and we did: Groove Authority! If you hire this band, you will not be disappointed. -

I cannot capture in a post how phenomenal Groove Authority is. We booked our wedding date around their schedule to make sure that they would be our wedding band. They kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. They engaged with the crowd, sounded amazing and were the most fun and kindest people you'll ever meet. We are already trying to figure out a way to hear them play again. Every guest raved about the band and many asked for details and contact info to book them for future weddings. We loved how Groove Authority is a band that always plays together so their chemistry is unmatched. We paid extra for a third singer and an extra horn and could not have been happier. We also paid for an extra half hour which was 100% worth it. We did not want the night to end. I cannot say enough good things about Groove Authority. If you are between a band or a DJ, a band is the way to go and Groove Authority is the only band I would hire for the job! If you want to have the best wedding ever and for your guests to say it was the best wedding they have ever been to, hire Groove Authority!!!! -

It was such a pleasure working with Paul and Groove Authority throughout the planning process. They were responsive, supportive and accessible, answering all of our questions and really talking through how we wanted the day to go. Not to mention, they are an incredible band that had our guests dancing the whole night! We really wanted a band that would set the tone for the day and Groove Authority exceeded that expectation. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a packed dance floor and a good time!! -

I just got married last weekend and I couldn't wait to join the long list of glowing reviews for Groove Authority. I knew from my very first phone call with Paul that I was without a doubt going to hire them. Paul was personable, friendly and his obvious love for the band really shows. He was patient with all my requests and changes leading up to the wedding. We hired them to play piano at ceremony, jazz music at cocktail hour and then a 7 person band for the reception. They had everyone from my 90 year old grandma to my 10 year old niece on the dance floor. They interacted with our wedding guests which was a great display of how much they love what they do. They weren't just there to play some music; they were there to put on a show! The lead singer busted out some dance moves that impressed everyone and we even saw one of them play guitar behind their back!!
It was very apparent that this band plays together all the time. Their harmonious flow is not one that can be achieved by just putting a bunch of musicians in a room together, this level of compatibility takes years to perfect. I recommend Groove Authority to absolutely any couple looking for a band that will leave both you and your guests begging for one last song. I will never get tired of hearing our guests raving about Groove Authority's performance! -

Two months after our wedding, people are still commenting on our amazing our band was. Hiring Groove Authority as our wedding band was the best decision we made! We had been to a wedding a few years ago where they played, and when we got engaged the first band we thought of was GA. We wanted a band who could play songs that we loved but also songs that our parents/grandparents loved - and they were a perfect fit.
Paul was immediately responsive and extremely helpful. He was happy to walk us through the process and patient with all of our questions. Once we got closer to the wedding, we spoke a few times and walked through our timeline and order of everything any time that things changed, which made me feel so comfortable that Paul was on top of it all. My dad is a musician and wanted to play with the band - they were so accommodating. The song went so well that the band asked my dad to play Sweet Caroline later on in the night with them, which everyone also loved.
They interacted with the crowd, came into the middle of the dance floor and everyone had the most amazing time with them. We did not leave the dance floor all night - and neither did our guests! Our dance floor was completely packed and we wouldn't have had it any other way. I couldn't imagine our wedding without Groove Authority - if you're thinking about working with them, don't hesitate!! -

Groove Authority played at our wedding at Wequassett Resort this past November and we cannot recommend them enough!! The band manager (and guitarist) Paul was amazing to work with from the start. He was very helpful at answering all our questions and planning with us to make sure everything on the day went smoothly. Groove Authority played music for our ceremony and at our reception. We had so many of our guests come up to us that night & in the weeks after to say how amazing the band was!
Paul and the band also did an incredible job with our formal dance songs. They were able to shorten them just the way we wanted and they played them perfectly. They even did a special bonus formal dance song so I could share a dance with my grandfather, which was such a memorable moment.
Groove Authority truly brought the energy for our reception and made it such a party. The dance floor was so crowded because no one wanted to leave and miss a song. They did a great job at engaging the crowd and playing songs that kept guests of all ages out dancing. We can’t thank Groove Authority enough for helping to make our day special and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Groove Authority was INCREDIBLE! Our wedding was about a month ago now, and I'm still hearing from guests how much they loved the band. Many guests have said that the band made the wedding! Their energy was amazing, they kept the party going and there was music for everyone. Paul was fantastic to work with leading up to the big day - he was organized, informative and professional. I cannot say enough good things about them! -

As a musician myself, I have nothing but the highest praise for Groove Authority. Paul especially made things so easy and comfortable from our very first interactions through the night of our wedding. That was really important for us because we were asking Groove Authority to do everything from managing the sound system, emceeing throughout the night, playing live music for both the cocktail hour and the reception (including new song requests), and many other details.
And what a night of dancing we had! Groove Authority has such talented performers who really know how to work the crowd. We had so many guests tell us how memorable Groove Authority made our celebration, and some even decided that they now need a live band (instead of DJ) for their own upcoming weddings. We feel so grateful that we were able to have them as part of our wedding!
