Energetic & Awesome

They were AWESOME. Pierre’s energy was contagious and he jumped down into the crowd a few times which everyone loved! We would recommend them to anyone. We opted to add a saxophone for an additional charge. They provided all their own equipment. Pierre was a great emcee too for introductions, cake cutting, last call, etc.

Groove Motive was amazing!!

The band brought so much life to our wedding! There energy was something we loved the most! They danced with our guests and encouraged them to have fun. The day of the wedding was a breeze because they were so easy to work with and followed our timeline. We couldn't have asked for a better group to play at our wedding!

Groove Motive Band Leader Pierre is GREAT!

Groove Motive has performed for our group at two consecutive New Year's Eve Galas and the attendees have been impressed both times. Pierre is a fantastic singer and super entertainer; and our group would invite him back in the future.

AMAZING wedding band!

Groove Motive performed at our wedding last weekend and absolutely killed it! Pierre and the gang put together a perfect setlist, engaged the crowd to keep everyone entertained, and sounded amazing on every single song. We have gotten endless compliments on our band selection and we couldn't agree more! Already talking about what the next event is that we can have them back!
