Review Centre: Motown Bands

"We throw an annual celebration for our staff and clients at the end of every year and try to throw events throughout the year to keep everyone engaged, show our appreciation and announce any new rollouts. This year we decided to go with a Michael Jackson Impersonator and found Jovan. He had everyone moving and was the perfect way to get people on their feet, and the energy carried us right through the night. All the communication prior was straightforward, and was also very professional in person. We are already planning to try to schedule something next year."

"We made the best decision to have Soulmates Collective at our wedding in Poggibonsi. From the start, Francesco was an absolute delight to deal with and provided answers to all our questions. We were a mess prior to the wedding and he took all the stress of music away from us. On the day, Francesco on piano, and Sergio on trumpet, played incredibly. At times they were the centre point of attention, at other times, soft harmony in the background. The music was perfect and I was often captivated by their mastery of music and their chemistry playing together. In addition to this, Francesco and Sergio were just beautiful human beings. We felt like they were part of our family, playing from the heart. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone. You can’t go wrong with Soulmates Collective. "

"We contacted Fernando after seeing some videos online of their music. We wanted some jazz for our cocktails and some ambient music throughout dinner. I was concerned that the trio would be too small for the large space that we had but they were perfect. From song choices to sound to friendless to accommodating us when we were running late. Their skill matched with their professionalism was just slightly tipped with their friendliness and reliability. I cannot rate them highly enough. They set the perfect tone for what was our most magical day. Thank you Fernando and team for being so wonderful. Thanks, Craig and Gizelle"

"Harry and the band played at our wedding in a beautiful Chateau in France. On the build up Harry was proactive in checking in with us to make sure everything ran smoothly, he was amazing, his suggestions were so helpful. On the day the band were incredible, they kept all our guests on the dance floor all night, it was perfect. The Sax player made it even more special, the band gave us a day we will never forgot. We just wish we could do it all again."

"Robin and I would like to say a massive thank you to you all for the amazing performance you put on at our wedding in September! You were truly phenomenal and our guests had an absolute blast dancing along to the music (one of our guests told us she didn't leave the dancefloor all night!). The energy in the room was incredible; all thanks to your brilliant performance. You brought the exact type of vibe to our wedding, and we honestly couldn't have wished for a better band. Thank you so much for being part of our special day!"

"Blue Moon was even better than we expected. A wonderful band with every soft and hard skill you would want from the wedding band. From great instrumentalists to a brilliant lead vocalist and reading the crowd and choosing the perfect song for the moment. Our guests and us were astonished by the charming sounds throughout our wedding evening. Grazie mille <3 "

"I can’t say enough good things about Groove Gang Avenue. It’s always challenging to hire a band or any other service from another country. Giuseppe did everything possible to make the process stress free. He was quick to respond, eager to accommodate all of our requests, and even suggested a video chat on WhatsApp a few months before the wedding to make sure we all knew what to expect. On the day of the wedding, the band drove from Rome to a small town outside Sorrento just for our wedding. After a quick consultation on where we wanted them to set up, they got to it and we were able to get back to handling other details. When our guests began arriving and the band started playing, I knew instantly that we had made the right choice. Our group instantly loved the music, from their standard repertoire up to a few songs that they learned just for us. The sound was balanced and full. I was also very glad that we went with the 5-piece group, since the saxophone added so much to the mood! Then, a rain shower blew through. As soon as we made the decision to move inside, the band started grabbing equipment and within 20 minutes they had set up indoors and were back to keeping the party going. Several times throughout the night I had a guest come up to me, nod toward the band and say: “They’re REALLY good!” And they are. I couldn’t be more glad that we chose Groove Gang Avenue to play for our wedding, and that they were willing to travel so far to make the party happen as wonderfully as it did! Wedding Date: 2025-03-13 Venue: Massa Lubrense, Italy Tom "

"Whoa!!! Jovan, as Michael Jackson, arrived right on schedule, at our venue in Monroe GA, to close out the show, on the night of our beautiful wedding on 9-5-21; and what a SPECTACULAR SHOW IT WAS!!!! It was so hilarious initially, when MJ first entered into our dance hall at the start of his performance, because one of the children watching, immediately started crying and sobbing, saying “Oh my god! Mommy, mommy Michael Jackson is still ALIVE!” Lol tooooo funny!!! And I must say that ironically, for a moment in time, it felt as if Jovan REALLY DID bring Michael back to life… It was such momentous, unforgettable experience, and an amazing and astonishing performance. EVERY move, EVERY twitch, and EVERY expression was done so perfectly! It’s easy to see and tell, that Jovan is an artist with a gift, who is extremely passionate about his work! At the end of the show, a lucky member of our family was also fortunate enough to catch the vintage MJ hat, which was randomly tossed into the audience just after the “Billy Jean” moon walk performance! What a special treat and surprise!!! Afterwards, Jovan even stayed long enough for everyone to snap photos with him as the one and only icon; which was ‘The cherry on top’… 2 Thumbs Up! 10 out of 10!! Bravo!!! Encore, Encore!!!!!"

"We booked StraightFire for our work Christmas party. I had seen the smaller line-up of the band but booked the full 8-piece with the brass section and they blew us away. Incredible - recommended without reservation."
