Love this band
We were nervous about selecting a band that we hadn’t seen perform in person. No need to be nervous. They were awesome. They are a delight to work with and are really talented and energetic group. I would *strongly* recommend booking with them because you will also save money. Other bands are marked up because they have an agent. Blue Avenue Groove manages itself and so there isn’t the markup and they are truly just as good. We loved them and would hire them all over again.We were nervous about selecting a band that we hadn’t seen perform in person. No need to be nervous. They were awesome.

Fabulous wedding experience with Blue Ave. Groove
As a musician myself, I was particularly focused on getting the music for my son's wedding just right knowing how important the quality of the band is to the overall success of a wedding reception. Accordingly, I did extensive "homework" on checking out literally dozens of bands before finally deciding on Blue Ave Groove. First I asked other musicians who they recommended, then I spoke to savvy colleagues who went to weddings and were impressed with the music. Finally, I listened to many bands online. It was hands-down Blue Ave Groove as a choice and I am really happy I went with both instinct and an empiric sense of what would work best.
We had an eight piece ensemble which was ideal for the venue. They covered a wide range of genres from old American song-book standards, to R&B, soul, Motown, folk and blues rock, contemporary hits, ethnic-favorites (Hora), ballades and did so with a blend of great enthusiasm, high quality arrangements, charismatic and engaged vocals and a sense of tailoring the music to the crowd. It was a professional give and take with the wedding guests especially after dinner where there was a steady set of non-stop dance music with most of the guests on the floor and very enthusiastic. They learned the requested bride-groom, father-bride and mother-groom songs beautifully actually better than the original. The members of the band were young, highly gifted musicians with really good technical and musical skills. The piano-sax duo at the extended cocktail hour were well versed in be-bop improv as evidenced by a great riff on a Charlie Parker request.
Pam as the lead singer bolstered by Justin another amazingly charismatic singer were perfect as the front line interface to the guests. Their sound engineer insured the right volume level. All too frequently especially with DJs and many bands, the decibel level is painful and disruptive, The sound was absolutely perfect for the hall and my somewhat overly-discriminating musician friends were quite impressed with how they kept the acoustic adjustments just perfect.
In short, this is the band to hire for your venue. Versatility, energy, enthusiasm, charisma, talent both musically and technically coupled with great arrangements, and soulfulness made for a fabulous and unforgettable wedding reception.

Summer Wedding Review - 10/10
From beginning to end, the entire process with Blue Avenue Groove was seamless. Will and Pam were both excellent in explaining the booking and preparation process. Pam couldn't have been more helpful in handling last-minute details, requests, and questions. When it came time for the wedding day, everything ran smoothly. The sound engineer arrived early to get setup and we did not hear of any issues (even on a hot summer day!). The band flawlessly executed all of our requests and went above and beyond for us to make it a truly unforgettable night. All of our guests said how amazing the performance was and we would highly recommend Blue Avenue Groove to anyone looking for a kick-ass band.From beginning to end, the entire process with Blue Avenue Groove was seamless.

Jammin' at the Mandarin
We had a destination wedding in Manhattan, N.Y. at the Mandarin Oriental. Our online review of several bands came down to our final selection, Blue Avenue Groove. Selection was based upon price, flexibility, and quality. I worked with Pam Steebler; she was stellar in her response time, and extremely helpful throughout the process. She coordinated easily with the Mandarin regarding logistics for the wedding day, to include lighting and directional flow of events.
On the wedding day, we had a 2-man group during the cocktail hour, and an 11-man group for the reception. This 11-man group included saxophone, trumpets, drums and guitar. There were three vocalists - all spectacular! The energy of the performers was contagious, and the guests danced until the party ended sadly at 10 PM. During one song, the whole dance floor was full, and the floor was shaking so much the table flowers were also jumping! Everyone told us this was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. So, while I rarely write reviews, I felt very strongly to share this experience with you, in generous thanks to Pam and her professionals.We had a destination wedding in Manhattan, N.Y. at the Mandarin Oriental.

Perfect Wedding Band
I can’t recommend Blue Avenue Groove highly enough. They were truly incredible, making our evening memorable with every song they played. Their performance was a big hit, earning us numerous compliments from our guests, who are still talking about how great the band was weeks later! They know how to create an enjoyable atmosphere and got everyone up and dancing.
Their music selection was spot-on, perfectly fitting the vibe of our wedding.
Working with Pam and the band leading up to the wedding was incredibly smooth. Pam was professional, accommodating, and made the whole process stress-free. It was refreshing to work with such an easygoing yet thoroughly prepared group.
If you’re looking for a band for any event, I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Avenue Groove. Their performance was incredible, and we were so lucky to have found them. They helped make our big day so memorable. We’re so glad we chose them for our wedding.I can’t recommend Blue Avenue Groove highly enough.

Amazing Band!
Blue Avenue Groove was incredible! Every one of the musicians was top notch. All our guests were raving about the band on the night of the wedding and days after. We requested that the band particularly focus on Motown classics and the band really delivered. Will was great and responsive in the run-up to the wedding, even as we had to reschedule around Covid. We could not be more happy with the music and the experience. They really made our day special. Highly recommended!Blue Avenue Groove was incredible! Every one of the musicians was top notch.

They were perfect for us and our wedding!
Will, Jon, and the rest of the band were amazing! We had a small wedding because of ongoing restrictions due to CV19, and Will worked wonders with us to reduce the band to just guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. This made us a little nervous, but Blue Avenue Grooce absolutely killed it our wedding. All of our guests raved about the band. Jon's voice especially is stunning beautiful. Can't recommend the band enough! Thanks so much, guys!!

The best band
Will and Blue Avenue Groove were everything and more! From the day we sent an inquiry up until the day of our wedding, Will was extremely responsive and super helpful. My husband and I are both musicians, so having a great band for our wedding was a top priority. Blue Avenue Groove delivered 10000000%!!! They made our wedding day so much more special and we are so grateful for that. Our guests said they were the best band they’ve seen at a wedding and they truly are. Amazing amazing stuff! Definitely book them for your wedding, you will not regret it. I just want to go back!!!Will and Blue Avenue Groove were everything and more!

Best Wedding Band I've Ever Heard
What I love about Blue Avenue Groove is that they let their high level of musicianship speak for itself. Whereas other bands often compensate for average musicianship by doing over-the-top antics that provide lots of "show", these guys are truly badass musicians, to the point that they don't need to force things - the music carries the day (and they look good doing it too). We heard feedback from countless guests, saying that it was far and away the best wedding band they had ever heard. They also went above and beyond the call of duty, accommodating a very last minute request for "All I Want For Christmas is You", by learning and rehearsing it on their drive down to VA from NYC. The three singers Jon, Sami, and Leah are off the charts! We couldn't have been happier with our choice to hire Blue Avenue Groove.What I love about Blue Avenue Groove is that they let their high level of musicianship speak for itself.

Book This Band!
Music is a huge part of our family's life, and actually was my husband's major in college, so we knew having an epic band was a must at our wedding. While looking online, the minute we found Blue Avenue Groove, we knew the search was over. Every member is an exceptional professional musician who will make your night even more memorable then you can imagine. It seriously felt like we had our own personal concert! They played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and of course reception. While we couldn't stop dancing, at times we just wanted to stand there and listen to their awesome talent. Will was so easy to work with and knowing the caliber of his team we just picked our 3 personal songs, named our genre of music and left them to do the rest. We didn't even want to see the set list before the wedding because we trusted him completely to own the night and he did!
Save your time, stop looking and book this band. They will exceed all your expectations.Music is a huge part of our family's life, and actually was my husband's major in college, so we knew having an epic band was a must at our wedding.

Amazing band!
We absolutely loved having Blue Avenue Groove play our ceremony, cocktail reception, and reception. They were amazing and helped us think through every detail. They learned all of the music that we needed them to, were professional and most importantly - kept the crowd dancing! They even mixed in some songs that we weren't expecting but that the crowd loved. A+ all around -- we wish that we were getting married again this weekend so that we could hear Blue Avenue Groove play again!We absolutely loved having Blue Avenue Groove play our ceremony, cocktail reception, and reception.

Best dance party ever
My husband and I wanted our wedding day to feel like the best party ever, and Blue Avenue Groove made that happen for us. We knew they would be a great addition to our wedding, but we were totally floored by the standard to which they performed. They provided a jazzy saxophone and keyboard duo for cocktail hour, then an 8 piece band for the reception. (Don't skimp on the brass!) Jon and Sami's vocals blew everyone away and got the party started! We received so many compliments and inquiries from our guests, wondering who these talented, beautiful musicians were and where we found them. Thank you to Will and the band for bringing funk, soul and fun to our wedding day!My husband and I wanted our wedding day to feel like the best party ever, and Blue Avenue Groove made that happen for us.

Great band!
Blue avenue groove played our summer camp wedding, and boy did they bring the party! EVERYONE was up dancing, and many guests came up to me specifically to remark on how great the band was. They are extremely talented people and they sounded amazing.

EVERYONE was up dancing, and many guests came up to me specifically to remark on how great the band was. They are extremely talented people and they sounded amazing. They also were very helpful and flexible when, during the reception, we found out we had given the caterers and the band different schedules and conflicting information.

Incredible wedding band
Can’t say enough amazing things about Blue Avenue Groove. Will and his band were absolutely amazing and we got a ton of compliments from our guests. At one point I even noticed the bartenders watching, and one pulled me aside saying they were the best band they’ve ever had at the venue! They were an absolute pleasure to work with and I’d recommend them to anyone looking to knock their wedding out of the park. True professionals in every sense of the word.Can’t say enough amazing things about Blue Avenue Groove. Will and his band were absolutely amazing and we got a ton of compliments from our guests.

Blue avenue groove rocked the house
"Where did you find your band?!"
That will be the refrain after your wedding if you go with Will and Blue Avenue Groove. I know, because that is all my wife and I have been hearing from our guests. Blue Avenue Groove were consummate professionals, easy to work with, and extremely talented to boot. They had the whole party rocking, and everyone danced their socks off. I honestly cannot recommend them more. We have a friend who is getting married next year, and they have already reached out to get Blue Avenue Groove's contact information because they loved them so much. Make your life easy; just pick Blue Avenue Groove to be your band and enjoy the party! Thank you so much to Will and his team of incredibly talented performers!"Where did you find your band?!"

Awesome wedding band!
Blue Avenue Groove just played at our wedding in Long Island City and did a fantastic job. They were very easy to work with, were able to play our requests super well, and everyone kept asking where we had found them! We had Sami as our vocalist and she was awesome, could really belt it out!Blue Avenue Groove just played at our wedding in Long Island City and did a fantastic job.

Awesome funky wedding band
We were extremely happy that we hired Blue Avenue Groove as our wedding band. First, the wedding involved a number of logistical complications, including multiple transitions between different locations for cocktails, dinner, and dancing, some special requests on the first dance song, and my band using their equipment to play a couple of songs. They handled all of these logistics smoothly so we didn't have to worry about anything.
And then second, they put on a fantastic show, especially wowing the crowd with some funk power and a singer than can really wail. Everybody loved it, and it was just what we were looking for.We were extremely happy that we hired Blue Avenue Groove as our wedding band.

My daughter and her (now) husband are professional musicians, and half of the guests at their wedding would be serious musicians, so it was important to get a first-rate band -- which Blue Avenue Groove was, and more. They were -- by far -- the best band I have ever heard at a wedding. More than being excellent musicians, they energized the whole crowd, which ranged from a five-year old, who could not stop dancing, to post-70s folks, who had not danced in years. People have been telling us ever since the wedding what a great band Blue Avenue Groove is. Do yourself a favor and hire themMy daughter and her (now) husband are professional musicians, and half of the guests at their wedding would be serious musicians, so it was important to get a first-rate band -- which Blue Avenue Groove was, and more.

Blue Avenue Groove was truly one of the best parts of our wedding. I don't think I've ever attended a wedding where people were more motivated to dance, and that's all thanks to Blue Avenue Groove's incredible musicianship, emceeing flair, and true professionalism. My husband and I are both musicians, and were getting really disheartened by how many wedding bands seemed like bad karaoke outfits. We could tell from Blue Avenue Groove's demos that they were really making all these classic songs their own - while still making them extremely danceable, and we couldn't be happier that we hired them. Will was extremely accommodating and flexible with our requests, from agreeing to play a song with my dad sitting in on guitar to switching the father-daughter song last-minute when my dad broke his wrist. Will and the sound technician (Billy, I think) also helped accommodate a late request from me to perform with one of my bridesmaids, and seamlessly set up microphones for us to play cello and sing in the middle of the reception. Every single musician on stage was top-notch, and the singers did an especially great job guiding the flow of the reception and making all the transitions super-organic! They're also incredibly reasonable as far as bands go, and in my opinion worth far more than they charge. At least 50 or so of our guests were professional musicians, and every one of them (as well as the non-musicians in the crowd) commented on how amazing the band was - I only wish we could get married again so we could have another Blue Avenue Groove dance party!Blue Avenue Groove was truly one of the best parts of our wedding.
