Luke Sent on 10/19/2023Awesome high-energy dance wedding band!
We found Groove Place online and were drawn in by positive reviews, so going to reinforce that here. We reached out and got a quick response from the band leader, Dana. Dana was very friendly and poured alot of time and effort into getting to know our music taste, event details, logistics, announcements, etc. They learned multiple songs for us, including our first dance- which they did an incredible job covering. They have an extensive song list and let us pick our must haves, likes, don't likes, etc. Dana put together a great playlist that kept us all moving and out on the dance floor all night. The singers were high-energy, the instrumentalists were talented, and they even let some of our family members get up there and sing with them, it was a great time! Definitely recommend the full 10-piece set, the full horn section is worth it, especially if you have big dancers in your group. On top of all of it they were one of the more reasonably priced groups we talked to, so bonus points for that. Couldn't recommend them enough! -

From the jump, we had an amazing experience with the Groove Place and Dana, it's leader. He was extremely responsive, organized, and accommodating to our setup, playlist, additional songs, and crazy dancefloor! Guests young and old raved about the band and our dancefloor was awesome. Highly recommend working with Dana and Groove Place! -

The Groove Place was amazing! Our guests could not stop raving about the music and our dance floor stayed packed all night. We wanted to have the Father of the Bride, Groom, and another friend join the band at different points throughout the night and they were all for it! My dad (FOB) had a few meetings with them to ensure his performance was as perfect as possible.
They truly go above and beyond to ensure that it is the most fun and perfect party. -

Bethany Sent on 07/06/2023Amazing Band!
We were so thrilled to have Groove Place at our wedding. They were so much fun, professional, communicated great, and reasonable. Dana was responsive and helpful in assisting us with deciding our setlist and helped us decide on which songs would get people dancing more! The band even learned one of our songs for us! Groove Place exceeded all of my expectations and had all ages dancing from 4 years of age to 80. They even let my dad jump on stage and sing a song to the both of us, making it very memorable. I've been getting texts all week on how getting a band was the way to go and Groove Place will be what I recommend to anyone who wants have a good time at their wedding. -

Dana and his band was amazing. They kept the entire wedding up on the dance floor all night. We received so many comments from not only the wedding guests but the Elks members that could hear them on the lounge side. Prior to that Dana was amazing at helping plan our event and even gave advice on how to keep the flow of the party going. We had a few last minute changes with needing to move the wedding inside as well as changing out a groomsman. They were able to adapt on the spot. I cannot recommend the Groove Place enough! -

Honestly planning a wedding is one of the most stressful events you can go through. The two most important things you can have at a wedding to make it successfully (for the entertainment of your guests) is a good open bar and a bad ass band/DJ. Not knowing any DJs or Bands we were fortunate enough to book the best band on the market which is Groove Place LLC! This guys showed up with their game place and played the best tunes! We couldn’t be happier with the performance and coordination of this band! Dana did an amazing job meeting with us, as well as checking out the venue space (because we lived 4 hours away) to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests loved the band and will be talking about their performance for decades to come! They were truly the best and rocked the night away with amazing instrumentals and vocals to all our song requests! They even played Pepas by Farruko with their trumpet Player on the dance floor with our guest which was a special request by us. You will not find a better band on the market that is more accommodating or have the abilities of this amazing band! Weddings or events are stressful enough planning but having a amazing band coming up to perform and take the party to the next level is unreal expectation you should not over look! Thank you so much Dana and the rest of the member of Groove place!!! You guys ROCK!

Dana and the rest of the Groove Place crew,
You guys ROCKED IT!!! Thank you so much for bringing the party to life! We had an amazing time and everyone loved you guys! The 3 songs you learned were especially great. Clearly our crew is a big fan of Mr Brightside and it was a HUGE hit as our last song of the night, even with your new band member/our best man Freddy as your lead singer :) . I really loved when the saxophone player came out to the dance floor and played amongst all of the guests! My only advice to you would be to get more active on social media (Instagram/Facebook) and post lots of videos for future couples to see your talents! We will be sure to send pictures/videos for you to repost once we get them back! Thank you guys again so much!!

Danielle Sent on 06/17/2021Playlist and Performance = 10 out of 10
We had such an amazing time at our wedding with Groove Place as our band. Working with Dana leading up to the day of our wedding was such an easy process. He tailored their setlists exactly how we imagined and learned several new songs for us for our special dances. Everyone was out on the dance floor all night. They really made the night so much fun and everyone I have spoken to after the fact still raves about their performance! If you are looking for an affordable, professional and versatile band - Groove Place is definitely for you. -

Groove Place was one of the highlights of my wedding! They were incredible! The band got people up and dancing. All of my guests were raving about them, both during and after the reception! I can't say enough wonderful things about Groove Place! -

Mike Sent on 03/16/2020Groove Place is awesome!!!
These guys and gals were awesome! Groove Place is one of the best wedding bands my wife and I have heard and it was so great to have them be a part of our wedding. Our guests were dancing all night and all told us how much they enjoyed the wedding because of the music. Dana was awesome to deal with throughout the whole process. He was able to meet with us in person to go over a very wide range of songs that the band could play. They were also very willing to learn songs that we wanted to hear that were not on their list. Overall, I would highly recommend Groove Place to any couple who wants to have an awesome band be a part of their big day! -

Lauren Sent on 02/10/2020Best band ever!
There are no words to describe what a FANTASTIC job Dana and the entire Groove Place Band did. From the moment we reached out to them and visited their showcase to the last dance of our wedding reception, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Dana made us feel so comfortable and we felt confident that they had everything under control. We didn’t have to worry about a thing! They helped us keep to our timeline and ran the show flawlessly. Our wedding guests fed off their energy and there was not a single moment that the dance floor wasn’t packed. We danced our butts off from the moment we stepped in the room. THANK YOU to Dana and the rest of the crew!!! Hope to party with you all again soon. -

Mike Sent on 12/02/2019Highlight of our reception!
Groove Place was the highlight of our reception! This band was great and learned all the songs we asked for. Dana (the band leader), was a pleasure to work with throughout the process. His easy-going attitude made it very comfortable to ask for changes or requests. The song selection process, organizing the timeline and set up was done flawlessly. And when it came time to play, these guys brought the house down. I am still receiving compliments on the band. At one point, we had a saxophone and a trumpet player playing out in the crowd. It was as interactive as we wanted it to be. Everyone had a great time. Thanks again Dana and band! -

I researched bands and DJs for my wedding for a while until I came across Groove Place. They sounded fantastic and Dana the band leader was quick to respond. We went to listen to them live and knew right away we wanted to book them for our wedding. They were very affordable for a 9 piece band with a horn section. And boy did they deliver! They were fantastic. Cocktail hour was a 3 piece jazz ensemble and then the full 9 afterwards. Everyone loved them! They are able to play a wide variety of music and get everybody on the dance floor. They learned mine and my dads dance and my dad who plays trumpet was even invited to play with them and had a blast! We danced all night and i cannot stress enough how fantastic they are. Great musicians. Great singers. Very professional. If you want a band for your wedding/event book these guys! -

Meghan Sent on 09/03/2017We are so thrilled to have Groove Place perform at our wedding. Dana and the band were an absolute dream to work with from beginning to end. Dana was extremely helpful and positive throughout the whole process and even helped us surprise my dad at the end of our parent dance. Not only did the band sound incredible, but they kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! My guests said that they felt like they were at their own private concert. One guest even said that their feet hurt so much from dancing, but the band sounded so good that they didn't want to leave the dance floor. We are so so happy with our choice to hire Groove Place for our big day and we cannot reccommend them enough!! -
![Joy]()
Joy Sent on 11/05/2016Groove Place was one of the first bands recommended to us for our wedding (they have already done several other family weddings), but of course, we did our research and checked out a few showcases. It didn't take us long to realize that the first choice was the best choice! Not only for the quality of music and entertainment, but also for the price! They were an incredible 10 piece band. We had a wedding of over 200 guests and everyone was having an absolute blast. Their catalog was extensive and covered a very wide range of styles (which was crucial considering the age range of our guests). I cannot recommend this band enough! Do yourself a favor an check out one of their showcases before booking with anyone else. -

Becky Sent on 10/07/2015What more can we say that hasn’t already been said about Dana and the band Groove Place? From the first conversation we had with Dana (he called the day after we filled in the online info request form) to our goodbyes after the event and follow-up emails, it was a real pleasure working together. Dana is a real people-person and he wants his clients to be happy. He does whatever he can to fulfill any and all wishes. We had a 5 hour reception and he worked with us to have different musical arrangements (piano and trumpet at ceremony, jazz trio at cocktail hour, and full 9 piece band for the final three hours) throughout the entire event. Unfortunately Jamie was unable to perform at our wedding because of a health issue, but Sheena filled in spectacularly for her. Jamie, we missed you (!), but Sheena, our guests never even knew you were not the regular lead vocalist! Thank you for your rendition of “You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me”. We loved it.
Our guests raved about the band all night and afterwards. We even had several male cousins on the dance floor and they said it was the highest compliment to the band because they never dance in public! We are so pleased that we chose Groove Place to make our party exactly what we wanted it to be.
As an aside that may matter to some people, ours was the first same-sex wedding for Groove Place and we could not have felt more love and respect from the band. They really care about their customers.

Sarah Sent on 09/03/2015We found Groove Place on WeddingWire, looked at the reviews, listened to the demos, and went to see them live at one of their showcases. We are very serious about music! The showcase was awesome. They crunched down a wedding reception into 40 minutes so we could hear snippets of all the different music they play, the way they make announcements, everything. They were awesome.
About a year went by until we heard them again at our wedding and they were BETTER THAN WE REMEMBER! Guest after guest came up to me to tell me how great the band was and how much fun the wedding was. They really made the night! The brass section makes all the difference. It really gets guest's attention and gets them on the dance floor! We could not have chosen a better band for our wedding day and we would refer them to anyone looking to book a band for a wedding or special event. The price was even better...this was the best price we could find for 5 hours of music! Best music, best value, best time!
Thank you Groove Place for making our wedding day so memorable and FUN!
love - Sarah & Travis -

Frank Sent on 02/04/2013Groove Place was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The first words from everyone who attended our wedding are to commend the band and ask where we found them. From the moment we reached out to Groove Place, they were a pleasure to work with. Dana was absolutely amazing in making sure they accommodated our requests and help with any questions that we had. We scheduled several touch points leading up to the wedding and he was always very responsive and helpful. At our wedding reception, Groove Place had the entire room up and dancing even before the first course was served and the dance floor was packed the entire evening! The band played music based on our input while adjusting to the mood of the room and nailed every song they played. I can't recommend them enough and we have several family members who already want to plan some kind of other event just so we can hire the band again. To Dana and the band: thank you, you made our wedding day magical and amazing! -
![Michael]()
Michael Sent on 11/12/2012STOP! Do not hire any other band until you have heard these guys! Our guests are still talking about them 3 weeks after the event! Everyone was on the dance floor the whole time! The event venue manager talked to me about making them one of their preferred bands! If you want a band that understands how to rock a Wedding, relates to the audience, gets everyone dancing, then Groove Place is the band!
Now the details.... a successful event takes planning; it's not only the music. Their band manager, Dana Camacho, is extremely competent and experienced with Wedding events. He understands the planning process, listens to your needs, is readily available to answer questions and worked extremely well with our wedding planner, venue manager, sound company and, of course, us. We met early, picking through their substantial song list, worked out timing and schedule and what we wanted. He then worked with our planner and caterer for a seamless integration. He also took charge in resolving a concern about the in-house sound system and the venue constraints we had. Dana visited the site and came up with a solution that resulted in an incredible event! He knows what is needed behind the scenes to make it effortless. We had a lot of confidence in him and the Band. He also addressed our questions on back-up contingencies, eliminating anxiety about unforeseen illnesses on the part of any of the band members.
Now the performance! From the incredible vocals and presence of Bobby Jones and Jamie, to the awesome horn section, the rocking guitars and drums, they have a great presence! They interacted with the audience, knew how best to sequence the songs, were very flexible and moved with the vibe of the crowd! We felt they understood that it was our wedding and our enjoyment was the most important thing to them.
We highly recommend Groove Place for any event! -

Nancy Sent on 10/15/2012Thank you Groove Place for providing amazing dance music for my daughter's wedding. The ballroom at the Philadelphia Cricket Club was rocking all night long. My guests all asked the same question, "where did you find this band"?
Your professionalism shone through the entire process, from the preview of the music, the contracting to the actual event, no surprises. My guests were completely engaged and we all had sore feet from dancing the night away. Thank you for being the cherry on top of our happy, celebration. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Groove place again. -
![Tanya]()
Tanya Sent on 09/25/2012We can't say enough about how impressed we were with the Groove Place band! We had seen them at a wedding a few years ago before we were even engaged but got their name at the time because we were so impressed even before we were in the market for a wedding band. To our pleasant surprise, the band was even better than we remembered! All of our guests commented on how great the band was. They nailed every single song they played and the dance floor was packed the entire night! From the planning process, to recommendations, to the actual wedding, Groove Place was nothing but first class and a pleasure to work with! They met and exceed all of our expectations and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was as close to perfect as possible! Thanks to Dana and the band for their hard work and professionalism! -

Lauren Sent on 09/16/2012Comments from the Bride: I have only positive things to say about Groove Place. From start to finish they were absolutely great to work with! Dana, the band manager is so organized. He has quick responses and always give the details necessary; he is concise and to the point but detailed enough to know exactly what is going on. The planning process was wonderful, we did not know what to expect but Groove Place knows what they are doing and helped us through every step of the way! The day of the wedding, I was so distracted with everything going on and I did not have to think about the band. When we came into the reception, the leader of the band came to check in with us and his confidence and calmness took all of my cares away and I knew that I was in good hands! The presentation of all the names - and we had some difficult names - was absolutely flawless and each transition was smooth and they were flexible even when we asked to change something up at the last minute. The band could read the crowd and kept everyone dancing the entire time. They played songs that such a huge range of people wanted to dance to. Out on the dance floor were young adults, children, and grandparents. Groove Place knows how to party! My dad, who was the most skeptical about the band, said that getting the band was THE best decision we made, he said he could not have been happier about their professionalism and performance. Everyone was telling us at the wedding how much they loved the band and they are still talking about it 2 months later! Having Groove Place play at our wedding is the best decision we made :) -
![Geneva]()
Geneva Sent on 02/08/2012GroovePlace is the best wedding band I have ever seen and boy have I have seen a ton. Prior to our wedding day I had never actually seen them live. Two of my friends had, one was the bride and one a bridesmaid, and they could not praise them enough. We watched all the videos and listed to all the demos and they can’t compare the seeing GP live. The warm response and professionalism we received from Grooveplace goes unmatched. We went with the sight unseen based on the feeling we had. Dana goes above and beyond and after booking these guys we knew the wedding would be a success. The dance floor was packed from the first song (7 p.m.-12 p.m.) until the last with crowd even chanting "One more song!" Pleasing everyone one from 21-91 these guys (and gal) just knocked it out of the park. My sister should be getting engaged within the next few weeks and I think we will greatly disappoint our family and friends by not booking them again! So mnay people have complimented us on the choice of band and the variety of music they play so well.
Go with Grooveplace for your wedding and you will not regret it.
