I think every bride thinks that their wedding was the greatest wedding to ever occur. But at the end of the day I think the true test of a great wedding...was the food / drink great, was the entertainment lively and the dance floor filled, and was there a ton of energy among the guests.

I think Band selection plays a huge role. Before selecting our band, we met and/or looked at the following:
Kim Sozzi - Creations
Faze 4 bands
Stan Allen
Hank Lane - specifically Bobby Attiko (which we saw at another wedding).
Groove Shop (Silver Pro Entertainment)

We ultimately went with Groove Shop (silver pro) and couldn't have been happier. We had 13 pieces - 4 singers, keyboard, 2 sax, trumpet, trombone, percussionist, guitar, bass, drums. Unbelievable... I wish I could post a snapshot of my facebook page because the day after our wedding, numerous guests wrote how our band was amazing and the one of the best they've ever heard at a wedding.

First - Music. They are attentive to what you want and don't try to oversell. My husband and I like top 40, R&B and hip hop...we were worried about having a band that wouldn't sound like the music we like on the radio. Groove Shop is unbelievable when it comes to this... they will even learn a few songs if they are not in your repetoire. For instance, they learned Ne-Yo / Pitbull - give me everything, Chris Brown - Yeah 3x and played a David Guetta / Kelly Rowland song for us. They are up on the latest music and their singers are unbelievable... you will have the real thing at your wedding. Second - they play through if you want them too which means, they never stick you with an MacBook while they are taking breaks. I've been to a lot of weddings this year and was appalled at how many times I saw this. During mealtime, they play through with softer music and its awesome.

Energy - Nonstop- your party will be on the dance floor all night.

Admin - We worked with Addie from the time we were evaluating bands all the way through to our wedding night. She is amazing and a sweetheart. She handles everything from managing the band to payments to putting together your schedule and playlists. She was awesome and made the whole process stress-free and fun. She was also on hand with the sound people on our wedding night to oversee everything and it was really flawless.

I can't say enough good things about this band and the energy that they brought to the wedding.... there are several reasons why we selected this band over the others but the closest other selection was Bobby Attiko which also puts on an amazing event, but for a significantly higher price. When it comes to talent, everyone in Addie's band is top notch. We highly recommend them if you want to have an awesome party. :)

If 100 stars was an option that is what The Rhythm Shop deserves. They were absolutely fantastic. Our guests were blown away by their performance all night at our wedding last Saturday 8/24/19 at the Park Chateau. I am so glad my husband pushed me to get a band for our wedding. It was the best decision we made and it was honestly what made the night !! From start to finish they had people on their feet whether the music was fast or slow. They were flawless. We asked them to sing a lot of Spanish music and they mastered every single song we asked for. It was a perfect mix of music of new and old school. The way they engage the crowd is just awesome. Everyone was feeling the music the entire night. David and Michelle were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. David assured me the band would learn my song to dance with my father - and if it’s possible I think I loved their version more than the original. If I could, I would relive our wedding party with the rhythm shop over and over again and absolutely recommend silver pro entertainment to any one !! Such a friendly and pleasurable group of people to work with. People are STILL talking about the band days later. We have received so many compliments. Thank you for rocking our wedding !!!

This is my first review on ANY review site-- but our experience with the Groove Shop (July 2014, NYC) was so positive that I felt I needed to help spread the word. Finding right band was VERY important to my husband and I; having a packed dance floor was a top priority in our minds. We were feeling a bit hopeless as we started searching-. Even a year out, many of the more well-known bands were already booked and we were frequently being offered alternate bands from the same companies, with no opportunity to see the band in person, which seemed ridiculous, especially since they mostly came with sky high price tags. We were extremely lucky to stumble upon the Groove Shop the night they were holding a showcase in NYC. We were very impressed, and booked them immediately.

We went with a 12 piece band and they also provided ceremony and cocktail hour music. We cannot begin to describe how happy we were with the performance. The Groove Shop absolutely ROCKED it, for lack of a better term. They had the dance floor packed all night, playing everything from oldies to current hits, and sounding better than the original artists. They were amazing at getting the crowd going and interacting with the crowd; for several songs the horn section came out onto the floor, as did some of the singers/rappers, which was a big hit. This group is amazingly talented and versatile. They performed a huge range of music and even learned a new song just for our first dance. Addie, the band leader, was extremely flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. By the end of wedding planning, chasing down vendors can become a full-time job; it was great to have one vendor I knew would always get back to me right away. The prices are also extremely fair-- I echo the sentiments of one reviewer who said this was the one vendor I felt I should have paid MORE for. A month after the wedding we are still being told by guests that this was the best wedding band they have seen.
