Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a entertainment partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

I had the pleasure of having Groove Authority perform at a non-profit gala celebration, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, they brought incredible energy, professionalism, and talent that truly elevated the entire evening. The band kept our guests engaged, entertained, and on the dance floor all night long. Their music selection was fantastic, their performance was outstanding, and they helped create such a fun and memorable atmosphere for our guests, sponsors, staff, and community partners. We received so many compliments throughout the night about how amazing the band was! Groove Authority played a huge role in making our gala celebration a success, and we are so ...

Groove Authority was absolutely AMAZING!!! We had such a blast and the talent was exceptional. They did such a beautiful job with our first dance, father-daughter dance, and kept the dance floor moving and grooving all night. All our guests raved about how amazing the band was and couldn't stop talking about the awesome selection and variety of songs. They were extremely communicative, professional, and made our whole day go smoothly. They were also very accommodating about noise levels and song requests. I would highly recommend hiring Groove Authority for your wedding or next special event, you won't be disappointed and you're guaranteed an unforgettable night!

Groove Authority is the best wedding band out there! We recently hired Groove Authority for our ceremony pianist, cocktail hour jazz trio, and reception 8 piece band. Groove authority was very easy to work with throughout the entire process: scoping out our estimate, talking through options based on the unique layout of our venue, discussing add ons that may enhance the flow of the night and getting us prepped for the wedding in the weeks leading up. Through each stage, Groove Authority had all of the details covered and worked with us even when we threw in some last minute song changes. At the wedding, Groove Authority was a standout. The band had amazing energy and are true performing pro...

We first hired Groove Authority for my daughter's wedding in 2022. They were awesome...their talent, endless array of songs and genres, their vibe, and their MC role in leading the wedding program and agenda. It was perfect, and all night long, the dance floor was the best place to be! We were so impressed by the that Janice, and I hired Groove Authority for our own wedding on New Years Eve, 2025. 300 people, and they did not disappoint. The dance floor was full the entire night, and our guests are still talking about the wedding, and the band. 3 weeks later, we hired them to play at my Company January holiday party - and from our post-party survey - we will be having back again. I give G...
