Kaitlin Sent on 09/27/2022Best Day Ever
Andy was amazing and made our wedding day go so smoothly! We had a lot of moving parts, a live musician, and he truly helped to run the show. He made sure there were people on the dance floor the entire time and played a wide variety of music to please all age groups and interests. He was very willing to incorporate requested songs from our guest rsvps, and took inspiration from some playlists we put together. A DJ can make or break a wedding day, and I cannot recommend a more fun, reliable dj for your big day! We also loved that he offered the phone guestbook and photobooth as an add on to our package. He handled... -

Cynthia Sent on 02/13/2025I highly recommend The Groove!
We chose The Groove as they were highly recommended by our place of venue and I'm so pleased how perfectly my daughters wedding was from pre-ceremony music, ceremony music, and entire reception. Andy coordinated with us on the timeline making helpful suggestions which we are grateful for his expertise and professionalism. His MC skills are the best I have ever seen at a wedding as Andy did all the announcing and made everything run so smoothly with the timeline. With four generations attending everyone enjoyed the music and the dance floor stayed busy all evening. Everyone said it was the best and most fun wedding they'd been to and I credit Andy & The Groove for helping make this day so perfect! -

I 100% recommend The Groove for any event! They made planning for the big day very easy and stress-free. Tim was our DJ, and after our planning call with him, I knew it would be a seamless day. He was very knowledgeable and reassuring. He was very professional and helped us when planning which specific dances or events to include during our reception. He did a great job being flexible and changing the music to keep the dance floor busy. He also made requested announcements throughout the night to keep us on track with our timeline. He was also very approachable and friendly! I am so glad we used The Groove for our special day. -

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Groove! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. The planning process was seamless—they listened to our preferences, gave great suggestions, and were incredibly organized.
On the big day, Andy created the perfect atmosphere, keeping the dance floor packed all night long! They read the crowd so well, mixing in our favorite songs and adding their own expert touches that kept the energy high. Every guest raved about how much fun they had, and we owe so much of that to this amazing team.
Thank you, The Groove, for being such a huge part of our special day. You made it magical, and we’ll recommend you to everyone we know! -

The Groove truly set the perfect tone for our special day!! Andy's expertise and professionalism stood out as he played the perfect songs at just the right moments. The seamless transitions between tracks kept the energy high and the dance floor full. In addition to his DJ skills, his MC services were top-notch, ensuring that all announcements were made clearly and efficiently, allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration.

Andy from the Groove was great. From the planning stage to the day of the party, he was professional, responsive, and knew how to keep our guests on the dance floor. We made guests from 9 mo. to 82 and all were on the dance floor. Andy also offers a photo booth which was the hit of our party. I highly recommend. -

Andy's company is professional with quality service. Andy provided good communication and streamlined planning. The DJ for our wedding, Jay, was phenomenal - he made excellent song choices and was an all around great emcee! -

Grace Sent on 06/19/2021A+++++++ 10/10 RECOMMEND
We had the absolute best experience with Andy and The Groove. He was so fun and easy to work with and I always looked forward to talking to him! He was so flexible and helped us perfectly edit the song we wanted to walk down the aisle to so it worked perfectly. He also did a FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE MUSIC ON THE DANCE FLOOR. He really read his audience and just came in with banger after banger and our hoarse voices the next day from singing the night away further confirmed that! He also helped us when we ran into a little unplanned snafu and helped seamlessly keep the wedding going and keeping the guests having the time of their lives. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANDY AND THE GROOVE. -

Matthew Sent on 06/12/2021Very professional!
My wife and I found Andy on The Knot website. He had excellent reviews and comments from past customers. Andy gave us a call and introduced himself. Andy was very professional, excited, and organized. Prior to our wedding, I asked Andy if he could switch through different songs during the Garter Toss. He said Yes! & it turned out perfectly. Andy kept our dance floor moving with no one questioning the song choices. Thank you foe making our special day even better! -

The Groove and Andy made our night so very special! It was so important to my husband and I to have a full dance floor all night long - and Andy accomplished just that. The dance floor NEVER cleared! He was great to work with us through the types of music we wanted, the mood, the atmosphere we wanted for our night. Not once did Andy make it about him or what he wanted, he was so focused on making our day exactly what we wanted. If I was to do it again, I'd chose The Groove 100x over! Thank you Andy and The Groove for helping make our night one we will never forget!! -

Laurie Sent on 10/03/2020Highly Recommend!
We hired The Groove to DJ our wedding a few years ago, and to this day one of our favorite memories, that friends and family continue to rave about, was the dance floor that evening. It was packed the entire time and I think every single person got out there for at least one song (and some never left!)
Andy was our DJ that night and prior to the big day we were able to sit down with him and discuss our vision, favorite songs...and "please don't play" songs :), and songs to play and announcements to make during specific portions of the evening (cake cutting, etc.) He was so helpful, knowledgeable, full of suggestions, but also really... -

Andy is an amazing DJ, and saved the day by jumping in and running my ceremony music. Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else! His playlist met all our wants and expectations. He is professional and timely. Gave us a great price. Thank you so much for making our wedding day perfect! -

Danielle Sent on 10/03/2020Must Hire!
Andy from The Groove is worth every penny! We decided to have The Groove DJ for our wedding and he exceeded our expectations! Everyone was on the dance floor from start to finish. Andy kept the party going all night and everyone was sad for the music to end.
Andy was easy to contact and work with. He went above and beyond. If I had another event, I wouldn’t think twice about asking The Groove to be our DJ. I would recommend him for anyone and everyone looking to get married and have a fun time in the San Diego area. Thanks for making our wedding a night we will never forget! -

David Sent on 11/01/2019Attention to detail and On-Time performance!
Attention to the music that we wanted to play at certain times during the ceremony was priority and Andy hit the nail on the head! The music requested for the reception was also on point. Great job! Thank you! I WILL recommend you for future events. -

Holly Sent on 07/07/2019Organized, Personable DJ!
We are so excited to have Andy for our wedding in August. We have talked to him a few times and he even joined us for a venue tour. He is very organized and has helped guide us in our timeline of the day. His website is really cool and allows you to go on and choose your songs. We can't wait to work with him closer on our wedding day!
Update! Andy was absolutely a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. He kept everything moving along and worked with our friends to incorporate some fun surprises throughout the night. We also added a last min photo booth through him which was a huge hit. I would strongly recommend Andy and his DJ and photo booth services! Excellent!!! -

Joanie Sent on 05/04/2019My favorite vendor of my wedding
Andy was PHENOMENAL! So much fun, really read the crowd, kept the party going until the very end. He was very responsive and professional- truly a pleasure to work with. He even verified how to pronounce the name of every single member of my wedding party (greek, polish, and german- not easy!). He remembered details from our very first phone meeting, and I could not recommend him more highly. He was the only vendor that I had that wasn't somehow connected to me personally, yet he still ended up as my favorite. Hire Andy- he will make it fun and easy on you! -

The Groove DJ was one of the highlights of our wedding! All of our friends and family raved about how our DJ was a hit! From the very beginning we were impressed with the online profile for our wedding that made song selections and timeline planning a breeze! Andy met with us before the wedding to discuss everything and was very fun and professional. Andy did such a great job with song selections and making sure that our wedding timeline kept moving on time. The set up for the ceremony was perfect and made it so all of our friends and family were able to hear our ceremony without the wind howling into the microphones. We had such a fun time dancing and would definitely use The Groove for any future events! -

Andy has the best energy! He had the best recommendations and when you let him take the reins he gets the party going. So accommodating, he knows his stuff, hes a crowd pleaser and made our event perfect! Hes a DJ for everybody. My family kept raving about him. -

Megan Sent on 10/29/2018Great with tricky family dynamics
Andy is terrific at handling the most nitpicky details of weddings--including any uncomfortable family dynamics (divorced parents), unconventional introductions ( I didn't take my husband's name, and we'd already been legally married for some time, so we weren't just 'the new mr. and mrs. so-and-so). On top of that, we had to cancel our ceremony musicians the night before the wedding due to inclement weather, so at 10pm the night before the wedding I hastily sent Andy my music requests for our ceremony. He was totally flexible and accommodating, and it all turned out perfectly! -

Jessica Sent on 09/24/2017We could not have asked for a better DJ! Andy was referred to us by our photographer. Our wedding coordinator had spoken to Andy on the phone before we met with him and gushed about how professional and experienced he seemed to be. Then after meeting with Andy in person, he continued to exceed our expectations. He is hilarious, friendly, informative, and professional. His services are worth the cost. Any questions we had were easily answered. My husband and I went into our wedding day with full confidence. The day of was flawless. Every song was perfect, and I did not provide him with a list of songs, all we did was discuss the type of music we listen... -

Kristen Sent on 10/20/2016The Groove with Andy Hagenah is hands down – the BEST DJ in San Diego! He was professional, detailed, and creative with the song choices. I knew he was going to be the best, not only by word-of-mouth but also because I’ve seen him at work when I was a guest at another wedding for which he was the DJ. I was impressed and greatly appreciative for his upbeat & outgoing personality because it made the reception atmosphere so much more exciting for all the guests. I highly recommend his service to anyone and for any event. -
