    Highly recommend!

    Paul and his band are absolutely amazing! We attended a couple of weddings they played at and knew we wanted them for our wedding which occurred a couple of weeks ago! He was easy to work with and took our requests of songs to play and crushed it! The band even learns new songs if you have one or two in mind. Paul also arranged live music at our cocktail hour and that was appreciated by many guests! We were allowed to get on stage with the singers and the band engaged with the crowd which is definitely key! Everyone raved about the wedding and the band is one vendor that can make or break the special day! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Stop here, you've found your wedding band!

    We cannot say enough good things about Groove Authority - they absolutely rocked out at our wedding and we had such an incredible time celebrating with them. Our guests were also raving about the band - it simply would not have been the same wedding without them. We also wanted to mention how organized and on top of things Paul was from the start. He is incredibly organized and responsive, and went out of his way to answer all of our questions and concerns. We had some pretty specific requests about song timing etc., and Groove Authority pulled it off without a hitch. If you are considering a wedding band, Groove Authority is a no-brainer. Even if you are not sure they'll fit into your budget, it's worth having a phone call with Paul and he'll try to work with you. You can tell that Paul (and the rest of the band) genuinely love performing at weddings, and it shows! Their vibe is unmatched, and the experience was unforgettable.

    Great Band, Great Value, Great Wedding!

    We reached out to Groove Authority after seeing the YouTube videos they had posted of them performing live at various weddings. So many other bands have only "produced" promo videos, and we wanted to make sure our band would have our guests on the dance floor as much as possible...and they delivered!

    From the first time we spoke on the phone with Paul until the last song they played at our wedding, the members of Groove Authority were professionals and made our day exactly what we wanted it to be. We even rented our uplighting from them, as well.

    They are reliable and a great value. Our suggestion would be to splurge and pay the very little bit extra to have the third singer. All three singers and the band put on an incredible show!! Worth it!!

    Everyone at the wedding and in the days after have been telling us how great our band was, and they are 100% correct!

    Can not recommend Groove Authority enough!!

    The Amazing Groove Authority

    Paul Fudin and his band, Groove Authority, played at my daughter's wedding on Cape Cod last month. They were absolutely amazing! From the beginning of the reception until the bride and groom danced their last dance, this band hit the exact vibe we were looking for. People couldn't stop dancing!! Thank you, Paul, for helping to make this wedding day so very special for all of us!

    HIRE THIS BAND if you are lucky enough that they are available!

    After being to many weddings, I knew a band was very important to me come our wedding day. I did a LOT of research and finally came to Groove Authority.

    What really sold me is that this is a band that plays together consistently - its not just a wedding business where whoever is available - comes and plays. We hired them without ever seeing them live - just based on their youtube videos - and let me tell you it was the BEST decision of our wedding. The dance floor was never empty, they got the crowd excited and hyped. There is not one single person we have talked to who hasn't mentioned how great they were. Our wedding was a majoirty of younger people ( some bands lean more old-school so I thought this was important to mention).

    On top of them truly being the best part of our wedding day: working with Paul, the one who executes the contract and gets everything set up, was truly incredible. All vendors should take a lesson from him. He's responsive, helpful, accommodating, and all the above. I was concerned about my budget and Paul reassured me we could make it work. Please don't even hesitate to book this band if you are lucky enough to have them available on your date. it will be the best decision you make!

    Choose Groove Authority!

    My husband and I got married in August, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have Groove Authority on our vendor team. After our first phone call with Paul, we felt confident moving forward with this band. You could tell he not only has tons of experience in the field, but he was incredibly friendly, personable, communicative, and organized! The planning process was no different. Paul was very proactive in coordinating phone calls to make sure we were always on the same page, or just to check in if we had questions. It made us feel at ease because we knew we were in good hands!

    On the day of the wedding, Paul and his team were instrumental in making the day flow seamlessly. They provided a PA system and microphone for our outdoor ceremony, and they provided the cocktail music via keys and sax (sounded fantastic!). Not only did they help the day go smoothly, but they kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had. We loved the range of music they played, and how they were able to cater to what the guests responded to most. It was a blast!

    If you are looking for a band with tons of experience, excellent communication, and great energy, look no further than Groove Authority :)

    We love GA!

    We are so happy we chose Paul and Groove Authority for our wedding band. From the very beginning Paul was communicative and organized. When it came time for the wedding, he worked with us to ensure we had set break lists that didn't overlap with what the band would play. The band is extremely engaging and dynamic, bringing phenomenal energy that will keep your party going. They did a great job reading the crowd and playing songs that reached different generations. We had so many guests come up to us personally to compliment the music throughout the night, which reenforced the fact that we made the right decision bringing them on board! One of the best parts of the night was when the groom joined the band for a song, it was so much fun and an honor to get on stage with these musicians. Thank you!

    AMAZING band, extremely talented and created the most fun dance floor at our wedding.

    Absolutely INCREDIBLY talented band. The band was the one thing my husband and I really cared about for our wedding, so we put in a lot of time researching bands in the Boston area. We even ended up doing our own "Battle of the Bands" with all the demo tapes of Boston area bands, and Groove Authority was the clear winner from the start. They were unbelievably good at the wedding, and the dancefloor was packed the entire time. People are still reaching out to me to say how it’s the best wedding band they’ve ever heard, and it certainly is the best I’ve ever witnessed as well. They played such a perfect mix of today’s hits and wedding classics and our requested songs, and they can play and sing all different genres seamlessly. If you’re going to invest in one thing to make your wedding unforgettable and extremely fun, Groove Authority is it! I am still so blown away by how amazing they were. Highly, highly recommend booking this band. No notes.

    GA was also incredibly great to work with throughout the entire planning process. Even when I changed my mind a few times, it was never an issue. They were so kind and flexible it made the process better. I cannot thank GA enough.

    Amazing- the best decision was hiring groove authority!

    We could not be happier with our decision to have Groove Authority play at our wedding! They made our wedding so much fun. From the time we started communicating with Paul, we knew we were in good hands. He was incredibly responsive and listened to exactly what we wanted. My husband and I were so impressed with groove authority. The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last. We have been told by all of our guests that GA is the best band they have ever heard. They were so interactive, upbeat and talented! Guests are still talking about the band a month later. We cannot recommend them enough for making our wedding reception everything we wanted and more!

    Best Decision

    We couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire Groove Authority for our wedding on 9/6/24 at the Sea Crest! From start to finish, Paul was a total rockstar, keeping everything organized, accommodating all of our requests, and communicating with us every step of the way. The band’s performance was simply incredible—our guests were on the dance floor all night, and the energy was through the roof! The music was amazing, and they played everything we wanted (and more!). If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, Groove Authority is the way to go. Best decision ever!

    Best Band Ever

    Hiring Groove Authority was one of the best wedding decisions we made. Paul was incredibly easy to communicate with and he was very accommodating of our needs. The band themselves were incredible, super fun, high energy, and kept the dance floor moving all night. From the ceremony and cocktail hour to the first dances and the dancing later on, they were great at everything. We also had a photobooth from them which guests loved. They were engaging and went into the crowd. We heard rave reviews from every guest! Cannot recommend them enough, anyone getting married should stop looking around and just hire Groove Authority, you won't regret it.

    Groove Authority came to Vermont - they are awesome!

    Groove Authority drove from Boston to northern Vermont to provide entertainment for our wedding reception and ceremonial music for our wedding held on 20-July-2024. We had an absolutely amazing time: Groove Authority is an incredible band. We loved everything they performed, and they did it with precision and artistry. Best wedding reception band ever! Paul communicated with us many times in preparation - he was always clear, prompt, and very easy to plan the festivities with. He helped us make good decisions and was flexible when we wanted to do something out of the ordinary. My wife and I are both very particular and planned so many things in detail. Paul and Groove Authority executed every detail perfectly. We downloaded their song list and highlighted all the songs we wanted them to be sure to play. And they did. Every musician in the band is extremely skilled. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We wanted to find an extraordinary band for our celebration, and we did: Groove Authority! If you hire this band, you will not be disappointed.

    Look no further!

    I cannot capture in a post how phenomenal Groove Authority is. We booked our wedding date around their schedule to make sure that they would be our wedding band. They kept everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. They engaged with the crowd, sounded amazing and were the most fun and kindest people you'll ever meet. We are already trying to figure out a way to hear them play again. Every guest raved about the band and many asked for details and contact info to book them for future weddings. We loved how Groove Authority is a band that always plays together so their chemistry is unmatched. We paid extra for a third singer and an extra horn and could not have been happier. We also paid for an extra half hour which was 100% worth it. We did not want the night to end. I cannot say enough good things about Groove Authority. If you are between a band or a DJ, a band is the way to go and Groove Authority is the only band I would hire for the job! If you want to have the best wedding ever and for your guests to say it was the best wedding they have ever been to, hire Groove Authority!!!!

    Look no further....book now

    From the very beginning Paul was extremely communicative in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding. He made every step of the process seamless and easy. We certainly appreciated that part alone and had high hopes for our big day, but we were truly blown away by Paul and Groove Authority. They absolutely elevated the day and exceeded any expectations we had. Bias aside...this was the best band I have ever seen at a wedding. They had everyone out of their seats, interacted with our guests, and made us feel like this was their biggest gig of the year. If Groove Authority is available for your wedding, or any event you are hosting, just stop your search and book them now. You won't regret it. Groove Authority is THE BEST! Thank you Groove Authority!

    Groove Authority is the best!

    It was such a pleasure working with Paul and Groove Authority throughout the planning process. They were responsive, supportive and accessible, answering all of our questions and really talking through how we wanted the day to go. Not to mention, they are an incredible band that had our guests dancing the whole night! We really wanted a band that would set the tone for the day and Groove Authority exceeded that expectation. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have a packed dance floor and a good time!!

    Even the best reviews don't do this band enough justice!

    I just got married last weekend and I couldn't wait to join the long list of glowing reviews for Groove Authority. I knew from my very first phone call with Paul that I was without a doubt going to hire them. Paul was personable, friendly and his obvious love for the band really shows. He was patient with all my requests and changes leading up to the wedding. We hired them to play piano at ceremony, jazz music at cocktail hour and then a 7 person band for the reception. They had everyone from my 90 year old grandma to my 10 year old niece on the dance floor. They interacted with our wedding guests which was a great display of how much they love what they do. They weren't just there to play some music; they were there to put on a show! The lead singer busted out some dance moves that impressed everyone and we even saw one of them play guitar behind their back!!
    It was very apparent that this band plays together all the time. Their harmonious flow is not one that can be achieved by just putting a bunch of musicians in a room together, this level of compatibility takes years to perfect. I recommend Groove Authority to absolutely any couple looking for a band that will leave both you and your guests begging for one last song. I will never get tired of hearing our guests raving about Groove Authority's performance!

    Best band we've ever seen!

    Groove Authority was nothing short of incredible at our wedding!! Our guests did not leave the dance floor. We loved how there were a variety of lead singers and they even came into the crowd which was a hit! Had many people coming up to us asking us how they could have them at their next event. Would recommend 10/10!

    Best investment of our wedding

    Our priority for our wedding was that it was fun, and we felt that a good band is always the most fun. We chose Groove Authority based on what we could find online; we never saw them in person first. But within the first five minutes of dancing, multiple guests came up to us to say how great the band was. We were blown away by how energetic, engaging, and overall fun GA was. They were easy to work with and plan, they were flexible when our ceremony time had to be adjusted, and were overall the best investment of the wedding.

    Amazing Band!

    My daughter was married in March of 2024. Groove Authority was our band. We can't say enough about how wonderful they were. Almost everyone was out on the dance floor as soon as they started playing. The music was great for young and old alike. Absolutely fabulous to work with too. They really helped to make this wedding so special. Thanks Groove Authority!

    Exceptional

    We loved Groove Authority! They kept everyone, from our 2 year old niece to our 90 year old grandma, on the dance floor all night long. Paul was incredibly professional and organized, and was a clear and enthusiastic MC while keeping the focus on us. We got so many compliments and danced the night away. Thank you GA for making our wedding so special!

    Groove Authority Brings the Energy!

    Groove Authority played at our wedding at Wequassett Resort this past November and we cannot recommend them enough!! The band manager (and guitarist) Paul was amazing to work with from the start. He was very helpful at answering all our questions and planning with us to make sure everything on the day went smoothly. Groove Authority played music for our ceremony and at our reception. We had so many of our guests come up to us that night & in the weeks after to say how amazing the band was!

    Paul and the band also did an incredible job with our formal dance songs. They were able to shorten them just the way we wanted and they played them perfectly. They even did a special bonus formal dance song so I could share a dance with my grandfather, which was such a memorable moment.

    Groove Authority truly brought the energy for our reception and made it such a party. The dance floor was so crowded because no one wanted to leave and miss a song. They did a great job at engaging the crowd and playing songs that kept guests of all ages out dancing. We can’t thank Groove Authority enough for helping to make our day special and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

    Best Part of Our Wedding!

    Two months after our wedding, people are still commenting on our amazing our band was. Hiring Groove Authority as our wedding band was the best decision we made! We had been to a wedding a few years ago where they played, and when we got engaged the first band we thought of was GA. We wanted a band who could play songs that we loved but also songs that our parents/grandparents loved - and they were a perfect fit.
    Paul was immediately responsive and extremely helpful. He was happy to walk us through the process and patient with all of our questions. Once we got closer to the wedding, we spoke a few times and walked through our timeline and order of everything any time that things changed, which made me feel so comfortable that Paul was on top of it all. My dad is a musician and wanted to play with the band - they were so accommodating. The song went so well that the band asked my dad to play Sweet Caroline later on in the night with them, which everyone also loved.
    They interacted with the crowd, came into the middle of the dance floor and everyone had the most amazing time with them. We did not leave the dance floor all night - and neither did our guests! Our dance floor was completely packed and we wouldn't have had it any other way. I couldn't imagine our wedding without Groove Authority - if you're thinking about working with them, don't hesitate!!

    When planning our wedding my husband and I went to my best friends wedding in Boston in 2022 and Groove Authority was the band they had. We danced ALL night! We loved them so much that we booked them for our own wedding which at Sugarbush in Vermont, and they were amazing again! Our family and friends could not stop saying how much they loved the band. We even had friends who joined them on the mic.
    We also had members of the band play music for our ceremony - and they did an incredible job with that as well!
    AND we were able to book a photo booth through them, which was a huge hit with our guests.
    Incredible Experience - Highly, highly recommend!

    Hands down the best band!

    Groove authority was the first vendor that we booked!! We saw groove authority at two back to back weddings a few summers before our wedding. We wrote down their name and the second we got engaged we contacted them. When we reached out about a year and a half prior to our wedding they already had a few inquiries for the day of our wedding. We decided that we wanted to book them immediately! Paul was easy to talk to, very detailed and wanted to make sure he could do anything in his power to make it the best day possible for us! The band captured the attention of all of our guests. They played a variety of music (all of the genres VERY well) and everyone heard a song that spoke to them. The band was the major thing all of our guests still talk about. The singers were interactive with the guests and everyone LOVED them- including us!! A few things that Paul offered that we didn’t think of before were ceremony music, cocktail hour music, up lighting in the reception hall, Photo Booth and more. We highly recommend groove authority!!!
