"We hired the band for our business birthday party which we turned into a mini festival. The band turned up early and were perfect gentlemen even though we were running behind schedule. When the band finally managed to do their thing we were blown away and everyone was up and boogying away! We will be definitely hiring them for next years party!"

"We were hesitant to book a band over the internet for our wedding, being we’re based in Sydney and wouldn’t get to see them live first, however we were not disappointed. Trace were perfect over dinner and great to dance the night away later on. A high quality, professional band that didn’t let us down."

"We have been inundated with messages this morning from people who were at our party last night, where FIRESTAR played 2x1 hour sets. EVERY one of those messages was a variation on "Great band", "Amazing band" and "What a voice the lead singer has". It is fair to say that people were blown away by FIRESTAR, their live sound and the high-end sound and lighting system. They even got me on the dancefloor! From start to finish the communication with Trev was excellent. We had lots of questions and he always responded with lots of information in a very timely manner. The band are highly professional and a pleasure to work with. You really have to hear Charlene live to really understand how good her voice is. If you are looking for a band that know exactly how to get a party started, are a pleasure to deal with and are GREAT value for money FIRESTAR are it. Book them. You will not be disappointed!"

"Randy and his team blew me away at our wedding!! I hired Randy when my wedding planner suggested he do the entertainment and I’m SO happy I did! When I visited Rome to meet with vendors months out from the big day, I sat down with Randy as he wanted to understand my taste in music. He asked me what I like. “I’m an old soul, Randy… I love Elvis!” He looked really confused, haha, as I’m sure he had never heard that one before! Come wedding day, Randy and his band were playing and singing Elvis songs and they did a phenomenal job!! The violinist and saxophonist were spectacular and they played all night on the dance floor with the DJ. It was SO much fun!! Our wedding was a few weeks ago and all of our guests are still talking about the music! I can’t recommend Randy and his team enough. They handled all the entertainment and all the music for every aspect of the wedding. Truly terrific! "

Hi Lauren, Your words truly moved me — thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was such a pleasure to be part of your day and to help shape the energy, the music, and the joy that filled your wedding. When you told me, “I’m an old soul… I love Elvis,” I knew we had something special to create. Seeing you smile as we played those songs — that’s exactly why I do what I do. For me, your wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings of the year. I’ll cherish it always, and I’m truly honored that the music left a lasting impression on you and your guests. Wishing you and Michael a life full of dancing, soul, and rock & roll. And whenever you think about Rome… you know where to find us. Warmly, Randy

"Groove 'N Motion performed for our wedding in August 2021 and they were incredible at every level. GnM had excellent communication, were affordable, were accommodating and understanding, played an amazing and wide-ranging setlist, and rocked with high energy all through the night. Our wedding guests, young and old, have said over and over how much they loved our dance floor and that GnM was the best wedding band they had ever seen. We agree and could not recommend them any higher. Scott, our main point of contact, was very communicative and accommodating, including when we had to reschedule our wedding because of covid. He also had a great ability to give advice and perspective from GnM's significant experience playing weddings and large events while still taking our more specific requests to heart. For example, GnM offered a range of modern and classic songs on a designated setlist but also enabled us to make many of our own requests of favorite songs not on their list. They also allowed us to send family to see them rehearse before we booked them because we at the time lived out of state. And they traveled from Denver to our venue in Salida, CO and were great sports about making the trip. It is important to make clear that GnM is not just a random group of musicians who are occasionally pulled together to play a wedding (like we discovered many commercial wedding bands can be). Groove 'N Motion is a true band with great continuity and a range of talents. It's clear they love playing music together and have fantastic rapport. GnM was amazing during our reception. They have their own sound mixer, who helpfully made sure the music never got too loud for our older guests. They played approx 3.5-4 hours for our reception and kept everyone out on the dance floor. The only problem we had was that so many guests wanted to stay for the music that everyone waited to take the last shuttle home! GnM was also excellent for our ceremony songs (a couple songs for guest seating, processional, and recessional) and provided a nice jazz quartet during our cocktail hour. These guys are talented and have range. Being able to rock a country song that is a family favorite and then soon after play some true funk hits is not something just any band could pull off. GnM did it without any problem. If you want to make sure that you have a wedding band that can perform songs in your setlist for all your guests to enjoy, look no further than Groove 'N Motion. You will not be disappointed. "

"I wanted a swing/jazz band for my wedding, and oh boy, did they deliver! They were swinging, and lively; their repertoire was quite expansive. They reached out to ask if I had any specific songs and then added additional pieces that suited the style I wanted. We contracted them for both the ceremony and the reception, we had a 3 piece band for the ceremony (piano, bass, and sax) They showed up early and set up with no extra help needed, played some gentle jazz music until the ceremony began, and even added in a drummer for no extra charge. I flip-flopped on the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to until almost the very last moment, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible. For the ceremony, we requested a 7 piece band so it could be boisterous and fun. There was almost no time that the dance floor was empty from the moment they began playing, even though the music they played was a sort of old-school jazz that few people know how to properly dance to. They played so well and brought such an element of joy and fun, that all our guests felt comfortable enough to dance all night. We learned how to swing dance for our first dance (Louis Armstrong, 'Bout Time), and the band played it to perfection (even if we didn't dance it perfectly LOL). This moment is one I will treasure forever, it was exactly as I had wanted it to be. For the rest of the night, they played off a setlist of a few songs I gave them and filled in the rest with their own recommendations. The singer has the most beautiful voice, all the band members play perfectly, I felt like I was in a 1920s jazz bar which was exactly what I had wanted. We had guests approach us all throughout the night, and even now to ask who the band was and to congratulate us on such a fun event. If you want a band that can swing, rock, and any other musical verb you like, this is the band you want. They were so communicative, helpful, and perfectly able to understand my vision. To the Orignal Moonlighters: thank you for making my wedding as special as it was."
