    Excellent Band ---outstanding music! and Fun members!

    As the father of the Bride I volunteered to take care of the band selection. I chose The Grooves and hit a home run! Ron was very patient with me and answered my many questions! All our guests commented how good the band sounded and enjoyed the entertainment from the members as well! They definitely know how to get the crowd moving and grooving! Great Job!! Kirk Bond

    The Grooves's reply:

    Thank you so much for having us! It was an honor to be chosen as your band for your wedding day! Thanks again for the rockstar treatment with the Awesome food and all! We wish you all the best!

    Great band

    My mother in law hired the Grooves for my sister in laws wedding, so this was a repeat hire. They did not disappoint.

    The only suggestion I have is that it would have been awesome to not have the lights w the Band Logo on during the ceremony...it showed up in all my walking down the aisle pictures. :(

    The Grooves's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review it was an honor to be a part of your special day! Sorry about the logo showing up in your photos, please send me all the photos with that logo in it and I will digitally remove the logo for you. I own a photography studio so it would be easy to remove these and my pleasure to do it for you.

    Here's Your Wedding Band!

    We can't say enough positive words about The Grooves! They are absolutely fantastic! Ron was so easy to work with and very responsive to all our questions (even while he was on vacation!). During the reception, our dance floor was packed! We heard so many great comments from our guests such as "they are the best wedding band" and "they're so awesome!" Book them today!!

    Amazing band, unforgettable day

    Ron and the Grooves were absolutely incredible to work with. Ron was flexible with our budget and song list, and was always very responsive. He would text/email with us or our coordinator immediately. We provided our recommended song list to the band a few weeks before the wedding, and he followed up with any questions. The whole process was seamless and very easy.

    During the wedding itself, a member of the band (Jessica Parke) sang during our ceremony and helped make it an unforgettable day. She learned songs for the event, and sang them beautifully. For the reception, the Grooves kept the atmosphere lively and energetic. I have never heard another band sing a rendition of Selena's "Bidid Bidi Bom Bom" so well.

    Ron and the Grooves helped make our wedding day to be a memory that we won't ever forget.

    The Grooves's reply:

    Thank you so much for treating us like rock stars with the amazing food and all. It was an honor performing for your special day! You folks were seriously the best, and everyone in the band loved working with you! I'm so glad you had as much fun as we did! All the best!

    They'll keep you on the dance floor all night!

    The talent in this band is second to none. There were all high energy and really performed as a unit. From the moment they started they kept everyone on the dance floor with a mix of oldies and 90s and current songs, some fast - some slow, but always someone's "favorite song"! They were absolutely wonderful and everyone that went to our wedding always comments on how amazing the band was. We would def. recommend!

    Music for All Ages and Musical Tastes

    In my opinion, the Grooves are the best band in Texas, for a wedding as well as other parties. Ron is fantastic to work with, and unlike many bands, they try to play all the songs you request from their play list......they can probably play your favorite song, even if it's not on their list.

    Amazing band members!

    We spent months researching bands with a wide variety of music.
    We wanted to see our guests dancing, enjoying the entertainment and having a great time at our wedding.
    The Grooves were a perfect fit!
    They also recommended an excellent singer after an unexpected cancellation we had with one of our other vendors.
    We received several compliments on all the band members and our family/friends are still talking about how great they were!
    We would like to thank “The Grooves” for the amazing performance and helping us create indelible memories of our wedding!

    Hiring The Grooves as our band was by far the best decision we made regarding our Dallas wedding! They were PHENOMENAL. My husband is from New Orleans, and their brass players surprised us by coming down from the stage onto the dance floor to play the Second Line. They nailed every genre of music, from love ballads during dinner to country and hip hop as the night went on. The dance floor was packed the entire night. All of our guests said over and over again how awesome the band was and we couldn't have been happier with them. Ron was also extremely accommodating during the booking process. Highly recommend!

    The Grooves's reply:

    Thanks again for a wonderful night! you folks rocked!

    Thank you so much for playing at my daughters wedding!! You’ll were great, we had compliments all night long. Everyone kept asking where we found you!! The little ones were mesmerized by the band and the parents couldn’t leave until the end, as their kids stood in front watching you. My daughter and son-in-law had a fabulous time and decided to stay until you were done!! Thank you again and if anyone is reading this book early as they fill up their time spots fast!! You did everything you said you would and interacted with our quests which they loved!! Thank you again!!!

    As a wedding planner at Weddings X Weaver, I have worked with many bands. The Grooves not only impressed me by their amazing performance, but they were extremely friendly to work with, arrived on time, had everything set up early, tore down and cleaned up after themselves - which helped me save time focusing on other aspects of the wedding day! If you need a vendor that will bring 120% to the stage (the crowd was WILD while they played - the energy was electric) and respond promptly, then you should definitely book The Grooves! I look forward to recommending them to clients and working with them again soon

    Ron and The Grooves were so easy to work with, and they made our wedding so enjoyable for everyone! Ron has been totally responsive and professional since before I even booked them, all the way up to the wedding day. They did our ceremony music, acoustics during cocktail hour, then rocked the reception. They were wonderful and kept the dance floor full! When the guests didn't know a certain dance, one of the girls would run down and lead our group. It was such a fun time and they kept us in line with our timeline to a tee. I was so sad when the night was over!

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME LOOKING ANY FURTHER - THIS BAND IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!!!! OUR WEDDING WAS APPARENTLY THE "EVENT OF THE YEAR" BECAUSE OF THESE GUYS!!! OUR GUESTS ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT A MONTH LATER - "THAT BAND WAS THE BEST BAND I'VE EVER HEARD". WE HAD GUESTS THAT DIDN'T KNOW OTHER GUESTS AND THEY DIDN'T LEAVE UNTIL AFTER THE SEND OFF BECAUSE OF THE BAND'S ENERGY, EXCITEMENT, AND MUSICAL TALENT. THE GROOVES KEPT EVERYONE ON THE DANCE FLOOR - LITERALLY. THEY PLAYED THE BEST MUSIC. SOUNDED GREAT. LOOKED GREAT. (HAVE REALLY GOOD LOOKING WOMEN AND MEN SINGERS.) AND WERE EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATIVE. THE EASIEST AND GREATEST PEOPLE I'VE WORKED WITH FOR OUR WEDDING!!! GROOVES - THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE EVENING!!!!

    The Grooves played at our daughters wedding in February, 2016 and they are awesome!! We found them on the internet via a very complete, updated video that they made in 2015. This really sold us, as some of the other bands we were looking at only had wedding clips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3aISwWbuFs They are so much fun and the dance floor was packed all night long! We only gave them a list of the songs that the bride and groom didn't want to hear, and they went from there to make choices that kept everyone involved and dancing. Had a very good mix of old and new songs. They are extremely easy to work with and we loved them! Would use them again in a heartbeat!! Love, Love, Love!!!!!

    The Grooves played at our wedding and I have to say it was one of the highlights. I was hesitant about booking a band because they are quite more expensive than DJ costs. I am so so glad we went with a live band. Our dance floor was PACKED until the very end of the night. I LOVED that they played to the crowd and what music kept people dancing. They even allowed my mom and I up on stage (with tambourines) to sing and dance together. It was a blast. Ron was great to work with and made planning very easy. Booking the Grooves was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding weekend. I really think having a live band like The Grooves MADE our wedding. It would have been a totally different experience without them!

    Amazing - Perfect!
    Russ sang acoustic during our dinner and was better than amazing.
    We had their 6 piece band play during the reception and they were so entertaining and great.
    Booking and communication were super easy. I could always get a hold of them with any questions.

    Wow what can I say... our wedding three weeks ago was the time of my life! Your band made the party! I was so excited and couldnt believe that our guests were dancing on the dance floor before they were even done with their salads! The main course had not even been served at people were already on the dance floor bustin a move!!

    Thank you so very much for playing every single song i asked for. If you guys didnt know the song as a band, you made sure to play it on your DJ breaks. My wedding was the first and only wedding I have ever been to with a band.. I must say.. DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY!

    Thanks again!

    We were very pleased with Ron and the Grooves. It of course was helpful that we provided a detailed list of the music we wanted them to play so there were no surprises. The energy level was high and the dance floor never emptied all night. Our guests almost universally complemented the Grooves. We highly recommend Ron and the Grooves.

    I wasn't sold on having a band, but my fiance insisted on it. It ended up being exactly what we needed/wanted! They were fabulous! Their set up was amazing, music rocked, and they went along with our timeline perfectly! I was on the dance floor the entire time (and have the pics to prove it!!)

    I would highly recommend the Groove's. They play a great variety of songs and were always friendly and quick to get back to me. Just have a good plan for music during the breaks.
