1,000/10 would recommend!

Groove Knight was an amazing band that kept the wedding reception going all evening long!! We had 8 musicians including the 3 piece horn section and our dance floor was packed the whole night because our guests enjoyed the music so much! The band even learned an acoustic version of our first dance song and it was absolutely beautiful.

Dave is super easy to work with, communicates well and in a timely manner, and does everything he can to ensure you will have the perfect wedding reception entertainment!

If you’re having trouble with your decision, this is your sign to choose Groove Knight, you won’t be disappointed!! :)

Perfect wedding band!

Groove Knight was the perfect wedding band. They were organized, thoughtful, proactive and had great suggestions during the planning process.

As for the music, they crushed it! They had everyone out on the dance floor young to old and even learned a special song for us for our first dance. They also ended the night with a bang and were able to do a second line!

So impressed! Definitely recommend them!

Danced the night away!!!

If there's one piece of wedding advice I could give to a fellow bride - hire Groove Knight!! They were incredible. They are all amazingly talented, and so easy to work with. Dave was absolutely outstanding in his communication, and he rocked the bass, too! Super impressive. They learned our first dance song, an instrumental French jazz piece, and I cannot stop raving about the saxophone player. We receive so many compliments on Groove Knight and I have only the best things to say about them. I danced all night long with all of our guests who couldn't stay off the dance floor because GK was rockin' it. Thank you, GK, for making our wedding dreams into a reality!!

We recently photographed a wedding and Groove Knight was the live band. This group is incredible and is one of the best live wedding bands we have heard. Everyone enjoyed the music and not once was the dance floor empty. Hire them and you won't regret it!
