We found Groove Place online and were drawn in by positive reviews, so going to reinforce that here. We reached out and got a quick response from the band leader, Dana. Dana was very friendly and poured alot of time and effort into getting to know our music taste, event details, logistics, announcements, etc. They learned multiple songs for us, including our first dance- which they did an incredible job covering. They have an extensive song list and let us pick our must haves, likes, don't likes, etc. Dana put together a great playlist that kept us all moving and out on the dance floor all night. The singers were high-energy, the instrumentalists were talented, and they even let some of our family members get up there and sing with them, it was a great time! Definitely recommend the full 10-piece set, the full horn section is worth it, especially if you have big dancers in your group. On top of all of it they were one of the more reasonably priced groups we talked to, so bonus points for that. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Our wedding was back in 2022 and my husband and I were just talking about how great Groove Place was. The band was PHENOMENAL. Their talent and professionalism were just the beginning. We booked them last minute for our wedding because they happened to have a free weekend and it was the highlight of our wedding reception. I have had COUNTLESS people tell me that our wedding reception was one of the greatest weddings they’ve ever been too. The band jammed all night - have amazing talent and great, nonstop energy. A guest asked me if they were from New Orleans which is a huge compliment! So thankful that we hired Groove Place. It made our wedding even more special.

Also, everyone in the band was so kind, respectful and a joy to work with! Would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to any bride & groom or anyone hiring a band!

Dana Camacho the band leader was very friendly and easy to talk to, and went out of his way to make sure that the music was right for the crowd. He took detailed notes so that everything went smoothly just like we wanted. The band has a repertoire of over 400 songs to choose from. So if you want, classic rock, disco, soul, funk, and some new tunes, everyone will be happy.. The musicians are very talented, and play well together, with great vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and a brass section fills out the songs. So when we were talking to him, I told him that we both love music and I played guitar. He said.: “ would you like to play with us?”. I said “ would I ever.!” I chose to play two songs “I want you to want me” and “ Uptown Funk” .We exchanged music and I got to practice with him once.. So when I (the groom) got up to play and sing it was a big crowd pleaser and great fun.

I can’t say enough good things about Groove Place. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. During our pre-wedding meeting, we walked through every song on our list and curated the perfect setlist together, which gave us so much confidence in the band. They even offered to learn new songs for us and asked if we wanted anyone to join them on stage. We took them up on it, and our Maid of Honor played harmonica during Piano Man, it was a major highlight of the night!

Groove Place completely exceeded our expectations. From the horns leading our guests into the reception to a night full of jaw-dropping performances that kept the dance floor packed, they truly blew us and our guests away. And all of this came at a very fair price.

If you’re considering Groove Place and want to hear more about our experience, please reach out, I’d be happy to chat. But trust me: you won’t regret choosing them!

From the jump, we had an amazing experience with the Groove Place and Dana, it's leader. He was extremely responsive, organized, and accommodating to our setup, playlist, additional songs, and crazy dancefloor! Guests young and old raved about the band and our dancefloor was awesome. Highly recommend working with Dana and Groove Place!

The Groove Place was amazing! Our guests could not stop raving about the music and our dance floor stayed packed all night. We wanted to have the Father of the Bride, Groom, and another friend join the band at different points throughout the night and they were all for it! My dad (FOB) had a few meetings with them to ensure his performance was as perfect as possible.

They truly go above and beyond to ensure that it is the most fun and perfect party.

Groove Place brought the energy! While recapping the wedding with our friends and family, they ALWAYS say, "the band was AMAZING!" and we could tell from the first notes they played. Fantastic singing / playing, so much spirit, and extremely easy to work with. These guys are the BEST and I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone getting married.

Not only that, but I play guitar and Dana encouraged me to hop up on stage and sing a song with them. I got up there and it was one of the best parts of the night. It was so much fun playing/singing with the band in front of our closest friends and family and I have Dana to thank for the wonderful experience!

So if you're reading this review, stop, and go hire Groove Place for your wedding / event, they're the best!

Dana and the rest of Groove Place made our wedding experience exceptional! All of our guests were on the dance floor all night and we had soo much fun! They were able to learn a few songs we had to have and they totally ROCKED them!

We were so thrilled to have Groove Place at our wedding. They were so much fun, professional, communicated great, and reasonable. Dana was responsive and helpful in assisting us with deciding our setlist and helped us decide on which songs would get people dancing more! The band even learned one of our songs for us! Groove Place exceeded all of my expectations and had all ages dancing from 4 years of age to 80. They even let my dad jump on stage and sing a song to the both of us, making it very memorable. I've been getting texts all week on how getting a band was the way to go and Groove Place will be what I recommend to anyone who wants have a good time at their wedding.

We have had Groove Place play for our 3 children's weddings. Their communication is always prompt, they have a huge song list and they sound great! At this last wedding 6/17/23, we had all ages dancing , from 4 to 80. Everyone always comments on how much fun they had and how good the band is. They will learn songs for you and we had my husband play a special song with them to make it even more memorable. We wouldn't choose anyone else!
