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!! :)

Incredible wedding band!

Groove Knight performed at our wedding in May in San Antonio and they were honestly the highlight of the party. All of our guests could not stop talking about how fun, talented, and high-energy the band was! We picked some songs, but they had a great sense of which songs to play to keep everyone on the dance floor for almost 3 full hours. The singers and horn section were incredible - saxophone on the dance floor and the horns marching us out to our grand exit were highlights. Dave was also great to work with throughout the long planning process - so responsive and helpful every step of the way. Could not recommend them enough!!!!

Groove Knight was the highlight of our wedding

I got married at Umlauf Sculpture Garden on 04/25/2026, and we hired Groove Knight as our band. They were absolutely incredible both at the event and during the planning process. I worked with Dave leading up to the wedding, and he was amazing to work with. He made it easy to plan the logistics, and was up for the challenge of a tight load-in schedule at Umlauf. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly, and the band was probably our most complimented part of the wedding. Everyone had a blast on the dance floor, and I had friends tell me they’ve never had such good music or so much fun on a wedding dance floor. 

Prior to booking Groove Knight we went to one of their shows and the show of another band we were considering. Groove Knight had a packed dance floor, and was the more cost effective option. That sealed the deal for us. If I had another event to plan, I would book them again in a heartbeat.

Must Book!

Groove Knight performed for both my ceremony and reception on April 18, 2026. They were absolutely incredible! We booked the 11-piece band with the full horn section, which was SO MUCH FUN! We had so many guests tell us that it was one of the most fun receptions they had ever been to because of how wonderful the band was. Dave was also incredibly responsive and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend Groove Knight for any event!

Book this band. You won’t regret it!

We hired Groove Night band for my daughter’s wedding last weekend in San Antonio and they were a huge hit. Everyone kept asking “where did you get that band!”  Other comments were, “how incredible they were”, and even heard, “it was the most fun wedding reception they had ever been to.”  Their energy level was incredible, and the dance floor stayed packed all night long. Dave was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. I give them an easy 5 stars review. Book them immediately. You won’t regret it.

Amazing!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect band for our wedding! We actually saw them perform at a venue the night we got engaged, and we were so impressed that we booked them for the wedding too!! We went with the 9-piece band, and every element was exceptional. The saxophonist set the tone during cocktail hour with a smooth, upscale vibe that our guests are still raving about. During dinner, the band played light, elegant music that created the perfect ambiance, and once dinner wrapped up, they absolutely brought the energy and got everyone on the dance floor. What really stood out was how interactive they were—they read the crowd perfectly and played a great mix that appealed to all ages. The dance floor was never empty, which is exactly what we hoped for! They even kept the celebration going through our send-off, making the entire evening feel seamless and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a band that’s not only incredibly talented but also knows how to create an amazing experience from start to finish, we can’t recommend them enough!

Best wedding band ever!

We truly could not have asked for a better wedding band!! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible, and we are so beyond grateful we chose them for our day. So many of our guests came up to us during the wedding and even after to say it was the best band they have ever heard at a wedding, and we could not agree more!!

Not only are they unbelievably talented, but they were also amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Their communication was fantastic, and they were so kind, responsive, and willing to work with us on special requests to make everything feel personal and exactly how we envisioned it. That meant so much to us!!

They also went above and beyond by helping play my bridal entrance music during the ceremony, which made that moment feel so special. And having the saxophone and trumpet during cocktail hour was such a fun and elevated touch that our guests loved!!

One of the absolute highlights of the night was when the saxophone made its way onto the dance floor!! It completely transformed the energy and had everyone out there dancing and having the best time. It was such a fun and unforgettable moment that our guests are still talking about!!

We are so, so grateful for them and the energy they brought to our wedding. They truly made the night unforgettable, and we cannot recommend them enough!!
