Review Centre: Party Bands

"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. "

"We had the most magical evening at Cavo Ventus in Santorini, and one of the highlights of the night was the incredible live saxophone performance by Xrhstos. As a couple visiting the island for a special getaway, we were already amazed by the breathtaking view and atmosphere, but the music truly elevated the entire experience. Xrhstos created such a beautiful and romantic vibe that perfectly matched the sunset and the elegant setting. Every melody felt emotional and perfectly timed with the moment. It made our evening feel cinematic and unforgettable."

"We contacted Supermusica (organizer) at the last minute to find a band for our wedding’s opening party. But on the very same day, everything was sorted! Alex handled it all so quickly and immediately found the perfect band: Ay Trick (Adrian Black 4-piece). The energy they brought was unmatched! An amazing band combining Funk, R&B, Soul, and Disco. Everyone was blown away by them. Many guests even asked me about them the next day! Infinitely grateful to Supermusica and Ay Trick!!"

"We hired the Neo Roots Band for our wedding reception after they were referred to us by a friend. We spoke to Tino and Jess. Both are lovely people and excellent to work with. They worked with us for our set lists and made amazing recommendations. When it came to our event we hired them as a 9 piece band. They blew our minds with how good they were. Our guests had an absolute smashing time. Everyone loved them. Overall we found them a delight to work with. Super professional and great people! I cannot recommend them any higher"

"Hi guys, I just wanted to drop you a quick message to thank you so much for playing at our wedding, our guests kept telling us how amazing you were throughout the evening, right from the first dance to the very end you kept all ages up and dancing….exactly what we were hoping for when booking a band, you certainly delivered…and then some!"

"We booked The Indie Thrillers after my (now) wife seen them at a wedding fare. I had a listen to their demos and was sold on them straight away. Come the wedding night and they where even more amazing in real life. Before they got on stage to perform they went out of their way to help an amateur band we also had playing (my wife's teenage cousin and friends). They even borrowed them some equipment to get them through. They where very accommodating and even though we agreed and paid for 2 x 45 slots, on the night when a few things had over-ran we asked them to start a little later than agreed and do the full 90 minutes without the break, which they happily agreed to do. Once on stage they had our guests (and ourselves) gripped. Their energy on stage rubs off on to everyone in the room and even though I can't/don't dance I found myself on the dance floor on several occasions. The Indie Thrillers are an extremely professional band who absolutely love what they do. They have a wide variety of songs that span the decades. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone for any function, big or small. They were a massive part in making our wedding as amazing as it was and we would like to thank them for that. "

"Couldn't recommend the band more, they were truly amazing! Funk'N'Soul performed at a corporate party for us, they came with a DJ included which was a bonus. Everyone was dancing and had an incredible evening. Will definitely use them again"

"Rachel and Peter, WOW. They are both so talented with incredible voices! They played at our garden wedding from the first dance, and their version of our song did not disappoint! We keep watching videos of it on repeat and we are so happy with it! They were also accommodating of letting us use their PA systems for our cermony and speeches during dinner. It made it a lot easier than us having to find something temporary. Despite the rain for the most part of the evening, everyone had a great time and was on the dancefloor for most of it! All the guests have thoroughly enjoyed themselvess and feedback on them have been 100% positive. They are very professional but also very friendly. Would definitely recommend them. Thank you both for making our special day even more special!"
