I cannot say enough amazing things about Groove Authority! Planning a wedding in a pandemic was stressful but Paul & Team were fantastic each and every step of the way. Paul was extremely organized, communicative, and thoughtful. Their emcee was nothing short of fantastic. The introductions through the encore was perfect every step of they way. Plus they got the crowd going and everyone was on the dance floor all night! They even let me and my brother perform karaoke with the band!! I cannot say enough amazing things about this group. They certainly gained a lot of future customers at our wedding so I cant wait to see them again as a guest!

Groove Authority is amazing. We were so excited to have them play at our wedding and they exceeded our very high expectations.My wife and I are huge music lovers, and it was very important to us to have a band—and lots of dancing—at our wedding. We couldn’t have done better than Groove Authority. They did a great job at keeping the energy up on the dance floor, and playing a good mix of songs to keep everyone happy. They also blew us away with the songs we asked them to learn.Paul, who manages the band, was a pleasure to work with. Very thorough, accommodating, and friendly. I can’t recommend Groove Authority enough!

Groove Authority played at our 60 person wedding in July 2021 and was simply amazing! Nobody left the dance floor, and afterwards our guests kept complementing us on our band selection. We even got playfully booed by our own guests for asking the band to take a break so we could make a toast! Paul was extremely responsive and made the planning process stress-free. We highly recommend!

Groove Authority was amazing at our wedding in June 2021. Paul was very helpful, responsive & accommodating throughout the entire planning processes with many unknowns during the pandemic. We could not have asked for a better performance the night of our wedding. All our guest were raving about the performance of the band and up dancing on the dance floor the entire time. Groove Authority has talented musicians and singers who bring a lot of energy to the room and did a great job playing across the spectrum to keep crowds of all ages loving the night and having a blast. We would highly recommend them for your wedding in the future!!

I cant recommend the Groove Authority enough! For the past few weeks after our wedding, people continue to reach out and say it was the best and most fun wedding they have been to because WOW THAT BAND! They played the best songs, were interactive with the crowd, amazing to work with, and flexible with all our changes throughout planning during Covid. If you want to have the most talked about wedding, you should book Groove Authority immediately!

We have used Groove Authority for 6 years+ for our annual Ball. We wouldnt use anyone else. They are a crowd favorite. From oldies to current top 10 they can do it all...and with style. They know how to get the crowd dancing!

Words cannot describe how amazing Grove Authority is! We had them recently play at our wedding at Waterville Valley, NH. They kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night! Not one person was sitting. Given the current state of the world I was concerned that people would not dance but our fears were wrong! Everyone commented at how talented the singers were and especially gave praise to the brass guys! We didnt make any pre requests we let the band read the crowd and their song selection was incredible! The venue even commented that they were the best band they have seen. During our booking process we were able to see the band live and went out on a limb and booked. Well let me tell you it was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process! Paul the band manager is a class act! Hes honest, up front, professional and a joy to work with! I have absolutely no hesitation in telling everyone to book Groove Authority!

Groove Authority was, hands down, the best addition to our November 2nd wedding. Paul, and the rest of the talented band, was accommodating and professional with us and our wedding coordinator. At the reception, people were out on the dance floor all night- even at dinner, which I had not experienced before at a wedding and made it a fun environment right off the bat! Groove Authority kept the energy high all night, and our guests are still raving about how fun of a night it was! You will NOT regret booking this band!

Groove authority was incredible! We can’t say enough amazing things about the band and their performance at our wedding. Every single guest commented on how amazing they were. Literally the highlight of the night (besides getting married) was dancing with all our family and friends to their music.

We hired Groove Authority for our wedding and despite COVID we stuck with it and didnt regret it at all! They were very flexible with us during the planning process (and re-planning lol) and were spot on when it came to the wedding.And most importantly, THEY WERE AMAZING. So many friends and family members asked us who the band was because they were so good and wanted to keep them in mind for future events. They played a wide range of music and had multiple vocalists which is the key in my opinion. Highly recommend! Paul was great to work with which is very helpful during a stressful wedding planning time. Cheers!

Wow! What a performance by Groove Authority at my wedding this past October. They had everyone dancing the whole night- even during dinner! They play a great variety of music and bring a contagious energy to the room. They are also very responsive and organized. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a band to play at their wedding or other event. Our guests commented how it was the best wedding they had ever been to, in part due to the stellar performance by Groove Authority!

If we could give Groove Authority 10 out of 5 stars, we would. Groove Authority was by far the best use of our money that was spent on our wedding!! From start to finish, the booking process and communication was outstanding with Paul. Very professional, quick to reply, and was willing to work with us with requested songs and additional items. Used the pianist for ceremony and cocktail, which set the mood and was beautiful. The 8-piece band came on afterward. They have unbelievable talent and their positive energy is contagious! They interacted with everyone on the dance floor, jammed out non-stop with minimal breaks, and gave one of the best live performances, including a mix of genres & artists. Choose Groove Authority for your wedding, or next event, -you will 110% be so grateful that you did!! Friends & Family cant stop saying how AMAZING the band was and how everyones calves and quads hurt the next day from all the dancing! Thank you for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives!

Absolutely amazing band!! These guys brought our wedding reception to a whole other level of fantastically fun :) We looked around at a fair few bands and I am sooo beyond glad we went with Groove Authority. Paul was super lovey to work with in the lead up with the band learning some new songs for us, including one for our first dance, and also editing their usual wedding playlist to only play songs we liked (from their seriously extensive catalogue) at the reception. The singers were absolutely incredible and as a band they are honestly on par with most any band I’ve ever seen live. They reduced the number in their band to fit within our budget (they have very reasonable pricing for their crazy high quality level btw) and also happily agreed to travel to Branford, CT in the middle of February. We received sooo many compliments from people at the wedding saying things like “Why did I only have a DJ at my wedding, this is so much more fun!” and everyone at our wedding was dancing the whole night through (which is no small feat given the very wide age arrange!). I have been to many weddings and always thought I’d go with a DJ like most people I know (particularly from a cost perspective) but this band was easily one of the best parts of our wedding - I’m so glad my husband convinced me! If you’re torn seriously just go for it and hire Groove Authority - they will make your wedding a night to remember not only for you but for all who attend :) Such an absolute blast and could not recommend them more!!

Groove Authority was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Paul was so easy to communicate with - and quick to respond to calls and emails. He communicated with our venue to make sure the evening went smoothly (which we greatly appreciated!) We went with their 3 piece jazz band for cocktail hour and the full band for the reception, and they were just perfect. They learned a couple new songs for us for our First Dance and Father Daughter Dance - and they absolutely killed it! The dance floor was packed the entire night! We had an amazing time and our guests cant stop talking about how great the band was. This was definitely the best decision we made for our wedding - we absolutely recommend them! Thank you Paul and Groove Authority for an unforgettable night! You guys were incredible!

This band is not just a wedding band but a talented, versatile group of accomplished music professionals that were by far the highlight of my daughters wedding reception. Groove Authority provided jazz standards (4 piece ensemble) for outdoor cocktails, and seamlessly moved to the reception hall with dinner background and dancing. Several guests commented on the level of talent of both the instrumentals and vocals.I noticed more than once dinner guests stopping conversation just to listen to this great band. Did I mention that they also handled the outdoor PA system for the ceremony? They can do it all - Amazing!

Groove Authority was absolutely amazing to work with, and put on quite the show at our wedding this past November. Our guests are still talking about how awesome they were and how much fun they had! Would highly recommend working with GA, theyre the best!

Groove authority is awesome! They got every piece of the reception down, ran everything smoothly, and brought the house down on the dance floor! We had >200 people, everyone on the floor every time the band started up. Great folks, great song selection, and they know how to work a crowd.

From the introduction of the bride and groom to the last dance of the night the dance floor was full!! Best band we have ever danced to or hired. Cant wait for our next child to get married so we can hire them again. Paul was professional and everything went so smoothly to make our sons wedding reception perfect! Thank you Groove Authority.

Groove Authority truly transformed a good wedding to a great wedding. From the initial phone call through the final dance Paul and the rest of Groove Authority made every effort to give us their best. We loved everything about our evening with GA. The whole process was very thorough and the night of everything went perfectly because of Groove Authority’s planning and attention to detail. The lighting, introductions, song list, the bands energy and ability to get the crowd going was amazing. We first saw the band a few years back at my older sisters wedding and knew that they were the real deal. One of the constants we’ve heard about our wedding is how amazing the band was and how much fun they had dancing the night away to Groove Authority. If your reading this trying to decide between another band or DJ, STOP! and get Groove Authority booked now, they will not disappoint.

Paul from Groove Authority was an absolute pleasure to work with. Communication and a dedication to make the customers wishes come true is what Paul is all about. The amazing band he has put together turned the ideas I had for the wedding into reality. Fantastic, thank you.

Holy moly did these guys rock. They played at our wedding in July and people will NOT stop talking about them. They brought so much energy and good vibes. Their set list is amazing. Very professional to work with and hands-down the highlight of our whole event. I cant recommend them enough.

Groove Authority is the best in every way. I highly recommend booking them for your wedding band or any party event; they were and continue to be one of the most complimented aspects of our weekend. Every time we see family or friends and talk about the wedding, they say how spectacular the band was.Paul and his team are so easy and pleasant to work with. From the early stages of planning, they were extremely tuned into preferences, coordination of the day-of timing, accommodations and special requests. Pauls also very efficient and quick to reply by email or phone.We had a few planning calls leading up to the event and Paul was so thorough in each conversation, really capturing what we wanted the night to look like - from introduction preferences to our last dance song request and everything in between that. Groove is an ideal wedding partner, often helping with thinking ahead and planning for next steps. I always felt like we had the music/dancing part of things covered with Groove and Paul leading the chargeWe wanted to maximize the dancing and time on the dance floor and Groove really helped us to make that happen!Our entire party was on the dance floor dancing before the entrees were served - one guest coined the phrase sweating before salads! and many others said it was the most fun dance floor theyd ever seen at a wedding.We had such a special night and loved how customized Grooves setlist was for us and the interaction between band and guests really added to everyones experience; we had guests from 10 years old to 86 from all parts of the country and all enjoyed the song selection and danceability of everything Groove played! There were so many special memories made on the dance-floor with family and friends; we continue to hear that Groove was THE best band our guests had ever seen at a wedding -If youre looking for a wedding band in Boston or Cape Cod, look no further and book Groove today.Thanks Paul and Groove for such a special night :]

Groove Authority made my wedding unforgettable! Their music and talent was amazing! Everyone had so much fun and they truly kept the party alive - I wish it didn’t have to end! Paul was very easy to work with and very responsive. He worked seamlessly with the venue staff making for an extremely smooth evening. When my ceremony violinist was late - the keyboardist stepped in to play some music for my guests. This band is truly talented and your guests will feel like they’re at a concert. I am so glad we chose Groove Authority for our wedding day!
