TheGrooves: The best band for an unforgettable night!

The Grooves were recommended to me as I sought out a band for my wedding reception. They could not have done a better job! They were perfect for me! They worked within my budget. I loved what I saw on their website but that hardly compares to how wonderful they actually were at our reception!

Bruce, the band leader was especially communicative throughout the months leading up to the wedding. He reached out every few weeks to make sure we were on track and talk about how he and the band could make the night more perfect for us. The Grooves have a huge list of songs but they were willing to learn our wedding song and any other requests we had. We were requesting "With This Ring" by the Platters because we wanted to learn the Carolina Shag. The band played that perfectly and created a full Shag set to keep my NC family and us on the dance floor.

They were very flexible throughout the night willing to make adjustments as needed for our schedule. They worked seamlessly with our MC and the catering captain. Our caterer even mentioned how good they were...and I imagine she sees a lot of bands.

I think the most important review I can give though is from my guests. I had countless people come up to me all night long and ask "WHERE did you find this band?" and proclaim "I LOVE this band!" or "Good job picking the band!" My advice to you is to book them as soon as you can!

Love this band! So fun!

Did the Grooves really deserve 5 stars? YES! I am still smiling from my party. We had a gathering of about 100 outdoors. It rained. So what did the band do? They went with the flow... problem solved any rain problem that got in our way and rocked our party. We couldn't have been happier. When you book a vendor and they help you through a stressful situation- right then and there... I knew the party would be great.
On to the performance! From Abba to Dua Lipa! EVERYONE was out of their seats dancing. The band sounded great and they were fun. They had a set list that appealed to everyone.
Hire this band. Your guests will be talking about your party for months!
