Review Centre: R&B Bands

"My husband and I recently got married in Ostuni at Masseria Il Frantoio. When we began looking for music for the reception, jazz was on the top of our list. Blue Moon Jazz Band came highly recommended by our wedding planner and after hearing from her that they were able to keep a small intimate wedding dancing all night, I was sold. I love to dance and I was worried by having a smaller wedding we would miss out on that. Not the case at all! They learned the few pieces we wanted played for our ceremony and we gave them some suggestions for the reception, but left the rest up to them. They did not disappoint! We danced all night- even when it started to rain, they moved under an overhang so that they could continue the party! I highly recommend the Blue Moon Jazz Band for your wedding or event, I can’t say enough great things about them!! "

"This is not the first time I had heard Lisa and the E-lusions but it seems they have only gotten better. They engaged the crowd and people have done nothing but tell me how great our band was. I can't wait to hire them again. They made our wedding exactly what we wanted! "

"We've hired Mike twice in the last couple of years and will again. He's great to work with. Always professional very friendly and crowd-pleasing. Most importantly, he's a top-notch musician and vocalist and so are his players. He can draw from among some of the best Macon area musicians, when needed, in addition to his own band. Its a real treat to hear his band's caliber of music in one's home or for a corporate venue. I can't emphasize enough how good he is."

"Posted 07/24/2023 R You know a band is great when guests ask to band contact info after the event. Le Mixx is a group of incredibly talented musicians who not only kept everyone on the dance floor, but ensured there was never music-less time. Cordial, cooperative, professional. Myke even allowed the groom to play a song with them. This is the only band you should hire for your wedding. (The Knot) "

"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. "

"LaQuin did an amazing job at my client’s wedding! I reached out to him with an initial inquiry for providing ceremony music for my client’s big day. She knew that she wanted a saxophonist, but wasn’t sure if the songs that she wanted would be compatible with that specific instrument. LaQuin literally made me a quick “mixtape” of all the songs she wanted to show her how they would sound beforehand. Who does that?!!! We booked him on the spot! He came fully equipped with all of the background tracks and sound system. He was so easy to work with and worked seamlessly with the DJ and my staff with cues for the breaks in the ceremony. The ceremony was flawless. The prelude, ceremony, and postlude music was a perfect mix of traditional and contemporary songs. He can literally learn/play anything. I would absolutely hire him again!"
