Best wedding band ever!

Best wedding band ever! We're so glad we picked Irresistible Groove to provide the music for our special day. They did an outstanding job keeping the energy high and keeping people on the dance floor. We received so many compliments during the reception and in the days since telling us how much they loved the band and how much fun they had. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band for their wedding or any other event!

The absolute best!

I'm a professional musician and I own a nationally acclaimed award-winning music venue. My now wife is a wedding and events coordinator. For any band we were going to hire, the stakes were definitely going to be high. I have a lot of friends in really great bands but we decided to stay away from using our friends and take a chance on a band we didn't know that lived in the area where we were having our wedding. My wife got ahold of the East Coast Entertainment Booking Agency which her company often uses for weddings where we live. I gave her a price range and a description of what I felt we needed. Soon after I was sent a list of bands from the company and I, of course, was EXTREMELY picky. I also had to consider a list of songs that could cover everyone from the younger crowd on up to the relatives who were in their 90s. As I browsed down the list of bands some would seem corny, or had singers that I felt were trying too hard, or singers I just plain didn't like, but as I got further down, I put on Irresistible Groove's promo video and I knew that I found what I was looking for! To me, the price was great and their song list had everything we could have wanted for our wedding! I really loved the singer's voice. At the same time, in fulfilling such a vast song list, other people in the band could also take the lead on singing. Some would also switch to different instruments so that they could seamlessly nail down the many different sounds and styles of such a vast song list authentically. My reception entertainment was now covered! Yay!!! However... I still needed some form of entertainment for my cocktail party which was to take place before that. I was looking for a very dynamic Jazz Trio. Sure enough, they assured me they could do that with some of their members and the add-on price to make that happen was fantastic! Fast forward to the wedding... The Jazz trio started right after our ceremony and were completely legit!! They had no music tablets or sheets in front of them anywhere and they were an excellent fit for the cocktail party vibe! I knew with the way these guys could swing some Jazz that they were truly top-level pro musicians! Soon after the cocktail party we walked in as Mr. and Mrs. for our first dance at the reception which the band executed perfectly. Once dinner was over, the lights went down and they instantly brought the party to life!! They literally NEVER stopped playing and everything they did musically was amazing!! It was a ball of energy from start to finish! Their sound levels we're great! (That's a big thing for me and my Mom as well) They we're so accommodating with anything I asked of them and I honestly could not have found a better, more professional band for my wedding! They completely blew my expectations away!! I am now a fan for life and I'll be recommending them to everyone I know! BOOK THEM!!! You'll be glad you did!

Best wedding band ever!

WOW! I don't even know where to begin with a review for Irresistible Groove... This band is incredible and has it all! Music is so important to us and we were blown away by Lee and the members of the band. Their setlist variety is huge and they are willing to expand for special requests. When we came to them with an idea for a New Orleans style exit Lee was excited to help us fulfill all our wedding dreams. We had guests dancing that have NEVER been on the dance floor and one guest literally stood there all night and filmed them because he 'had to show everyone how great they were'. I could cry thinking about how perfect our night way and IG was a huge contributor to that. They are fun, professional, communicative and most importantly truly want all your wedding dreams to come true. We want to get married again just to hire this amazing band.

Perfect Wedding Band

Irresistible Groove played my wedding in Asheville, NC on 9/1/23. I can't sing their praises enough. They were absolutely fantastic. They played a very specific setlist based on our asks and were the talk of the wedding. They also did an amazing job of running the show and ensuring the event had a professional feel and energy. Can't recommend them enough - they are top-notch musicians and great to work with. Book them now!

Great Band

The Irresistible Groove played at my daughter’s wedding on June 17th. Absolutely fabulous. They are all very talented musicians and several of them are accomplishes singers. They got everyone on the dance floor for two straight hours. Amazing energy. Many of our guests said this was the best band they ever heard at an event. I would agree. Their play list ranged from 1980s to today. I have hired many bands and this group is the best. Plus, they are easy to work with.

Best Wedding Band!

Irresistible Groove was an amazing choice for our wedding band! We still have guests raving about them and we have been married for a month! They were so great that our venue staff were all dancing behind the bars and we had a full dance floor the entire night! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun night of dancing & a wide range of songs/vocals!

Awesome experience!

Irresistible Groove is absolutely wonderful. They performed at my daughter’s wedding and we could not have been any more pleased! They play any type of music and nail it every time regardless of whether it’s instrumental, jazz, country, pop, rock, hip-hop, ….they do it all. We were amazed and our guests were equally impressed. They performed at the ceremony portion with sax and guitar, performed couple’s first dance, father/bride, mother/groom dances, instrumental during dinner, and then got nearly everyone out on the dance floor after dinner. with a variety. They also MC’d the evening for us. I truly did not have to worry about keeping everything on our planners timeline. They stayed on point. Highly recommend! They will make your wedding perfect!

Irresistible Groove did it all

Irresistible Grove was incredible. The band played an excellent show at our wedding reception, ranging from oldies to recent hits. They brought great energy, played a 2.5 - 3 hour set, and even learned a song or two as special requests. Beyond the full band playing at the reception, we hired Lee and his team to manage the sound for our entire day -- managing the sound system during our ceremony, setting up speakers and running our playlists during cocktail hour / dinner, and kindly MCing introductions for the wedding party and other programming. They exceeded our expectations, and many of our guests complimented them on how awesome they were. Could not recommend highly enough!

Phenomenal band

If you’re considering Irresistible Groove as your band, this is your sign… do it!!!! We did A LOT of research on bands in the North Carolina area. We wanted a group that would keep people on the dance floor the entire night and a group with a large play list. I’m telling you, no one left the dance floor once they started playing. People have been raving about them ever since!!! They did an amazing job! It was such a fun night and a huge part of it was this band. They have great communication, talent and are just a good group of people. I highly recommend them for any event but especially your wedding!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
