Feedback
- Groovetown performed for my wedding and they were better than I ever could have imagined. Everything was spot-on: Their professionalism, sound, song choices, sound level and balance was perfect. Along with music for the reception, we also had Groovetown play a jazz set for our cocktail hour. We couldn't have hired a better jazz group, and Groovetown's ability to effortlessly flow from jazz to dance music saved us a ton of headache by not having to hire a second ensemble.
I can honestly say that they are the best wedding band I ever have heard. Groovetown was youthful, yet professional, played old classics and new hits that any age could enjoy. -- Ben S, Charleston, SC, 3/29/2008
- We were researching bands for our wedding on Gigmasters.com when we found Groovetown. They were all extremely easy to work with and professional, prompt and curteous. Groovetown covered our dinner and reception providing everything from jazz to Outcast and it all was extremely well done. Our friends and family couldn't believe the range of music and how well they all played! Everyone was satisfied! As our brother in law said, there's a reason why they're not called "SlowlySwaysFromSideToSide-Town!" We had a blast! Thanks so much Groovetown!

- Wow is all I can Say !!!!! GrooveTown was amazing !!!!! The band rocked. I am SO glad that we picked them to play at our wedding. We got married in Asheville, NC. We had searched high and low for a good band, and really couldn’t find one in the area. We drove to Raleigh to see them play in a bar and we hired them the next day. My husband and I wanted a band that would play music to accommodate anyone, young or old. Everyone danced at our wedding the entire night. I had to be reminded to cut my cake three times because I couldn’t stop dancing. They are well worth it. If I had to get a band for another event I would immediately call them up. Guests of our wedding have even booked them for an event next year! Highly recommended.
