Matthews "The One & Only" Photo of Groove Ride Groove Ride "If you're considering Groove Ride for your wedding or event, stop searching and book them immediately. Groove Ride was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Doc was incredible to work with. He was responsive, organized, thoughtful, and made the entire planning process feel effortless. Every question was answered quickly, every detail was handled professionally, and he gave us complete confidence that the entertainment would be amazing. And wow—did they deliver. The band absolutely brought the party. Our dance floor was packed all night long, from the first song to the last. The energy, talent, and ability to read the crowd were unmatched. We had guests of all ages dancing, singing along, and having the time of their lives. One of the things we heard over and over throughout the night was, “Where did you find this band?” and “They are incredible!” Our guests are still talking about them weeks later. If you want a band that will keep your guests engaged, create unforgettable memories, and make your reception the party everyone talks about, Groove Ride is it. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Doc and the entire Groove Ride team, for helping make our wedding so special and so much fun!" Based in San Francisco, California (162 miles from Fresno) 15th June 2026 Julie - Wedding Photo of Private Affair Band Private Affair Band "Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs."
