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!! :)

Best Wedding Band Ever!

My son just got married in November 2023 and this was the second time I hired the band Groove Knight. They are simply the best when it comes to a fun and memorable occasion. Dave is so easy to work with and they even learned new songs we requested for the father/daughter and mother/son dances. The singers and musicians are so talented and it is clear how much they truly enjoy the music and the audience. I can't wait to have another event so I can hire them again!!

Book Groove Knight - you won’t regret it!

I take Customer Reviews with a grain of salt, but these comments are exactly true -- Groove Knight is FANTASTIC! We hired them for our daughter's wedding Oct 2023. So many guests told us "the band was awesome!" The band was easy to work with and affordable. They played all of the hits and accommodated a wide variety of ages and styles of music. We enjoyed it so much that I asked them if I could write a review for them. Another review put it best: "Book Groove Knight - you won’t regret it!"

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!
