• I could not have found a better band to play at my reception. They were extremely accommodating. Our first dance was to a Louis Armstrong song and they learned it and played beautifully. Groove Knight was definitely one of the best touches of the entire night. All of the guests enjoyed to music and their talent. One of my favorite memories of the entire night was dancing to "Shout" with what seemed like the entire guest list. I would highly recommend this band to anyone having a special event. Wonderful music, great to work with, and professional. -- Barry H, San Antonio, TX, 4/6/2012
• Groove Knight was incredible!!!! My wedding reception was a blast, thanks to them. Not only that, but throughout the entire planning process, Dave was so helpful and accommodating - even with matters that had nothing to do with the music! I cannot begin to express how thankful I am for that. Without Groove Knight, my reception would have been just like any other; instead, they transformed it into the best party of my life! -- Melissa N, Bryan, TX, 3/5/2011
• Extremely awesome wedding band. They learned a couple new songs just for us, and nearly everyone at our wedding got up and danced. Everyone was having so much fun, we went ahead and paid for an extra hour. Even my 85 year old great aunts got up and danced to a few of the songs. Totally amazing, and highly recommended! Much better than having just a wedding DJ, which was our first thought. They could read the crowd well and knew exactly when to switch songs. Very talented :) -- Daniel E, Driftwood, TX, 1/8/2011
• Groove Knight is absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, our contract, interactions and finally wedding night with them were flawless. I sent probably over 200 hundred emails to Dave and the band figuring out all the smallest details and there wasn't once when it would take more than a few hours or a day to hear back from them. This put me at ease and made the process very fun and easy. Regarding their performance for the wedding...AMAZING! No problems or mess-ups in the slightest. We received an overwhelming amount of praise regarding the band and everyone couldn't believe how they sounded exactly like the originals! I couldn't have selected a better band!!!! -- Kathy C, San Antonio, TX, 3/10/2012
• Groove Knight did an awesome job at my reception. The right tunes at the right volume with the right energy. They kept the dance floor full all night long with everyone from grandparents to grade-school cousins joining in the fun. They were very professional and extremely talented - I got lots of comments from my guests about the great band. We were a bit late getting started for the evening and they even skipped one of their breaks to maximize the time we had left. I'm glad we decided to go with a live band and hire these guys! -- Todd H, Fredericksburg, TX, 5/15/2010
• The band was super! I highly recommend them for any occasion in which you want your guests to have a great time! I booked them for my wedding reception and was glad I did. They accommodated a tricky first dance song, had a terrific variety of songs to play, and were super friendly and professional. I only wish I had booked my venue for longer so that I could have the band play longer! If the occasion presents itself, I'll book them again! -- Katie D, Austin, TX, 4/16/2011
• Great band! They were very professional and courteous. They took the initiative to stay in contact concerning the details of the event. They were on time and dressed professional. Very talented group that made my wedding reception very memorable. I highly recommend this band. -- Rusty C, White Castle, LA, 5/22/2010
• Very professional in all aspects of the booking and entertainment. Answered all of my questions promptly by email. Very accommodating in song selections and some awesome talent in this group! Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any occassion, especially amenable to dancing! We enjoyed them in every way! Thanks Groove Knight! Carol Rizer, Tyler, Texas -- Carol R, Tyler, TX, 7/16/2011
• In one word... WOW!!! Played the right music at the right moments and never had a dull moment. I'm still getting compliments. Perfect band for any event. Thanks for the Memories Gina and AJ 4/9/2011 -- Gina H, Hebbronville, TX, 4/9/2011
• Great band! The music was really good and the vocals were fantastic. I would recommend this group for whatever funtion you are having. You will be completely blown away!! Everyone at my 50th birthday party wants to book them for their next event. -- Phil C, San Marcos, TX, 7/24/2010
• We looked very hard for a band before our wedding and were very impressed by Groove Knight when we went to listen to them. Their performance at our wedding was outstanding -- great energy and musical skills. There are very few bands that can play such a wide range of music so well, and we would recommend them to anyone. Great band! -- Matt T, Houston, TX, 11/13/2010
• Groove Knight was AMAZING!! They were everything I hoped for and more! My guests loved the band and so did my husband and I. Not only was the performance spectacular, but the band was so helpful before our big day! No regrets, two thumbs up! Definitely recommending to everyone I talk to about party bands! -- Chaille M, Caldwell, TX, 7/9/2011
• WOW...what an amazing band!!! Great all the way around... Our guests are still asking us about the band... Everyone enjoyed them!! They made our wedding night absolutely perfect!!! -- Elaine D, Llano, TX, 11/12/2011
• Groove Knight was awesome! Everyone keeps talking about "how great the band was" at our wedding! Wedding planning was very stressful, but Dave from Groove Knight was SO accommodating and easy to work with! If I had a question or needed anything he got back to me immediately. They played all of our favorite songs and kept our guests on the dance floor all night. Thank you Groove Knight for making our reception so fun and memorable! ~ Christy and Jason Nolingberg -- Christy H, Wharton, TX, 10/8/2011
