Elizabeth Sent on 01/03/2025The best band!
We were so lucky to have The Groove Spot Band & Show play our wedding this December. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Groove Spot Band & Show! The band leader, Vance, is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and professional and the band is so so so talented! Groove Spot made our wedding unforgettable - so many guests told us that Groove Spot is not only the best wedding band they've ever seen but also one of the best shows/live acts they've seen!!!! The energy was truly infectious - we had guests of all ages on the dance floor all night with songs/dances for everyone and the vocalists made the whole event so interactive and fun! Vance and The Groove Spot were so accommodating with requests and some changes on the week/day of for a seamless experience - rolling with the changes and keeping guests entertained and having a great time! We had a few unconventional song requests that Groove Spot absolutely mastered - all 3 were better than the originals! We were lucky enough to get to work with Vance and Groove Spot for our ceremony music, cocktail hour music, reception music and av/amplification. We got compliments from guests about how fun and beautiful our cocktail hour music was - as a wedding guest I don't know the last time I remembered/noticed the cocktail music, but Groove Spot truly brought such love and talent and energy to make our wedding perfect. Several guests told us walking into the reception they knew it was going to be a great wedding because the ceremony and cocktail hour music had already knocked it out of the park!! We've had 4 engaged couples from our wedding reach out to ask for Vance's info :) (wedding was less than a week ago) - in wedding planning it can be stressful because there are SO many decisions, band/music is such a big decision for setting the tone of your wedding - if you want your guests to dance and have fun that they'll be talking about long after the wedding, we cannot recommend Vance and The Groove Spot highly enough!!! -

The Groove Spot Band was very professional, communicative, experienced, and entertaining. My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed their performance! Definitely worth the investment! (I was unable to upload pictures from my phone. I will keep trying). -

First of all, Vance was so professional and down to earth when me and my aunt met him to do the contract. He kept the lines of communication open and was always available if we had a question. The band's performance was nothing but phenomenal. We also loved how they interacted with the guest. They went above and beyond our expectations. We will no doubt utilize their services again when needed. They even came dressed in the colors of all the guess. They bring the house down with the sounds of motown. -

Excellent band with a variety of playlists to accommodate your guests. We had a black-tie event and the band played in black tie attire. Warning: Be prepared to expand your dance floor because everyone, couples and singles, will be up dancing and singing to the beats. People kicked off their shoes just to dance on the carpet next to the dance floor! Well worth the investment and the event that everyone will remember! -

Our son was the first to have this band back in 2017. Now my daughter got married this pasted weekend 10/2023 and had them. Between then and now we have recommended this band about 9 times. A must have for a fantastic event. -

Wonderful job!!! Kept our guest motivated and comfortable. Made sure all of our requests were followed including introducing the guest of honor, the Happy Birthday song, and guest interaction, just to name a few. Thanks so much for contributing to the success of this very lovely event. -

The Groove Spot Band & Show showed incredible grooves in ensuring the success of our 200-guest company event. As our first year coming back from the pandemic, the band did an amazing job of entertaining our folks during the 2-hour Dinner Party. Although this crowd wasn’t the kind of crowd that would get up and dance, our attendees mentioned they loved the upbeat music and good vibes. Their professionalism with visiting the space and meeting with the AV Director was very much appreciated as our company is not based locally. We are grateful for their talents in making the event special and memorable. -

The celebration was all the more special by choosing The Groove Spot Band, they provided so much energy with their quality service. There was no way that anyone could sit in their seats while this band and vocalist did their thing. I would definitely recommend this band to anyone wanting their party to be A Real PARTY! -

If you are looking for a great wedding band, I wholeheartedly recommend The Groove Spot. This band kept all of the guests on the dance floor the entire evening. Amazing musicians and singers. My son, who is a drummer, saw this band at another wedding and was so impressed - horns, keyboard, all of it. So as the parents of the groom we paid to make this happen. This band is awesome! They looked so professional as well in their white dinner jackets. Vance was so accommodating and easy to work with. He listened to the bride and groom and fulfilled all of their requests. It was an amazing wedding due to The Groove Spot! Worth every penny spent. -

Holly Sent on 07/20/2022Phenomenal Wedding Band!!
We had the Groove Spot for our May 28 wedding. In a magical weekend, they were one of the highlights.
Vance was quick and responsive to initial inquiries. He was professional and enthusiastic. He listened to our original plans and then as the big day approached, he listened and helped integrate the audio services and the band into our vision. We used the bands speakers and microphones for our onsite ceremony.
The band did a great job of setting the mood during our cocktail and appetizer hour and then for our dancing portion. The Groove Spot played the songs that we requested and then came up with additional songs that got our guests out dancing. The Groove Spot accommodated a guest singer.
When people talk about our wedding almost everyone mentions how great the band was and everyone hopes that we have an anniversary party next year with the band.
I would highly recommend. The band was great; they were great musicians and played great sets. Additionally, they were easy to work with and very professional. Vance’s enthusiasm for what he does and for the people he works with was an added bonus. -

The Groove Spot was EXACTLY what I wanted for our big day. They were so great and helpful for the ceremony and absolutely rocked the reception. At some point I just gave up on saying hello to all of our guests so i could just dance my butt off - which seems a sign of a damn good band. I heard so many compliments from so many guests the next day. By far, one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. -

Our wedding would not have been half the party it was without Vance & the Groove Spot Band. The band sounded amazing, looked fantastic, and were very accommodating throughout the evening. They also kept our guests dancing through heat, humidity, and a thunderstorm or two. Highly recommend if you want your guests on the dance floor!!

Elaine Sent on 03/10/2021Hire this band immediately!
From our first call with Vance and the band, they made the whole planning process so smooth and worry-free. Vance (band manager and drummer) kept in regular contact with my wife and I during our planning stages- even more so after we had to postpone and change venues due to COVID. Just as Vance assured us, this group has been doing events and weddings for a long time together, and it really showed. They offered every accommodation including music styles, song requests (they offered to learn any for specific occasions like the mother/groom dance), and even allowed us to request band dress to match the wedding attire. We cannot stress how impressed we and the guests were with their style, their flare, and how much fun they made our night. Not only that, but their day-of services were so incredible. They assisted with our music selections played during the ceremony, provided a mic and stand for the officiant, and even moved some speakers around for the ceremony sound. Even more, Vance is incredibly flexible and will go to great lengths to make your day special. My wife and I cannot recommend Groove Spot highly enough to anyone looking for live music for their event. This group is so much fun and we promise you will never regret hiring them. -

Nick Sent on 07/23/2019Hire these guys! Fantastic musicians and great value!
As a musician who plays weddings myself, and would be having dozens of musician friends attend our wedding as guests, it was important to me to hire a professional and talented band that would bring energy the entire night, and The Groove Spot Band and Show delivered. Vance is a fantastic band leader. He’s tremendously responsive and energetic, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure the night went smoothly, with minimal need for direction from us. The band is extremely talented and nails renditions of popular Motown and dance numbers - our guests were dancing and complementing us on the band the entire night. They also were fantastic playing jazz standards and improvisational jams during dinner and transition times. These guys are truly soulful musicians and way more than just the “factory of top 40 covers” that so many other overpriced wedding bands seem to be today. And as for flexibility, they even let me and some of my friends sit in with them on short notice. I highly recommend them! -

What drew the most raves at my wedding this past weekend? Not the venue, which was gorgeous. Not the food, which was delicious. Not the decorations, which were beautiful. It was the Groove Spot Band, which was outstanding. After the wedding, people were coming up to me, left and right, to talk about how great the band was. Our wedding would not have been the same without them.
The Groove Spot Band has a broad playlist that spans genres and eras. My wife is Jewish and I am Black, and they crafted a set list that seamlessly appealed to both cultures. My wife was particularly concerned with how they would handle the Hora. They killed it! And our guests loved every moment. In addition, we particularly enjoyed their renditions of "The Electric Slide" and "Uptown Funk." Everybody was on their feet dancing from beginning to end.
The Groove Spot Band director, Vance, is a true professional. He was easy to work with, super responsive, and very accommodating; working with him was among the most stress-free parts of the planning experience. He also worked well with our coordinator and handled MC duties at the reception.
The Groove Spot Band provided a 3-player brass band to handle music for our cocktail hour, and when our ceremony musician was unable to make it, they provided a pianist on short notice. We loved our wedding, and we credit The Groove Spot Band and their music as a big part of the reason it was so wonderful.
As for pricing, their rates are incredibly competitive. (I honestly think they should be charging a lot more.) The rate for our 9-person reception band, 3-person cocktail hour band, and ceremony pianist was actually less than the ceremony-only rate for many of the 4-person or 5-piece bands we looked at. The Groove Spot Band's packages are very flexible, and they are able to provide anything from a 6-piece to a 15-piece band.
The Groove Spot Band is the one you want for your event. They do not disappoint. -

That was what we heard from multiple people. The floor was packed all night as Vance promised. Vance was a consummate professional and helped me get through my multiple anxieties surrounding the music. I can't recommend them highly enough! -

Kelsey Sent on 03/28/2019Best Wedding Band in the extended Maryland area!!
Vance and his team were 12/10 amazing. They bring such energy and love to their events that they elevate any event that they play. Their mo-town/classic vibe is perfect for all ages of dancing and they have fantastic interaction with the crowd. My favorite song of the night was Proud Mary when all of the girls were on the dance floor having a blast with the singer. Everyone raved to me about them after the wedding and it was not shocking in the slightest. I would hire them again in a heartbeat for any event that needs dancing. -

Julie Sent on 11/05/2018The Groove Spot Band Was The Highlight Of Our Wedding!
The Groove Spot Band was the highlight of our wedding! Everyone keeps talking about how much they loved our band. They are so talented and were able to keep our guests on the dance floor all night! When planning our wedding, we weren't sure if we wanted to splurge on a band and thought we could have a great wedding with a DJ, but I'm certain our wedding wouldn't have been as memorable and fun without The Groove Spot Band; I'm SO glad I decided to hire them! The band's leader Vance is very personable and responsive. He went over to check out my venue before we hired them to make sure they could fit in the small ballroom of our venue. He also responded to my countless emails and calls with questions that popped up throughout the planning process. Hire this band! You won't regret it! -

Steve Sent on 11/12/2015A big and loud “Thank You!” from me and Nicole. You have 185 new fans after Saturday night, and Nicole and I are going to evangelize for you guys for any parties or events that we hear about. You were absolutely brilliant – from the opening three songs, which absolutely set the tone for the night all the way through the slow dancing, the ad libbed pop songs (Blurred Lines into Marvin Gaye!), to the final notes accompanying Jed on his freestyle. Your sound and arrangements, your versatility and complete facility with all the music we wanted to hear, your showmanship – it was all superb and everything we hoped for. Beyond that, you were a pleasure to work with, and Vance, you in particular showed so much concern for making Nicole and I comfortable and happy. Thank you. We cannot say enough. We will absolutely post everywhere and tell everybody we know about you. I certainly hope we have the chance to work with you again.
Thank you sincerely,
Steve & Nicole
