CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Our wedding reception was magical & memorable & Royal Groove was simply spectacular! Michael was wonderful to work & they even learned several songs for us which were incredible! Ricky did a fantastic job of calling the tables for dinner (we'll never forget Table 10) & kept the mood right all night! Their musical style, stage presence and professionalism is extremely impressive & Melodee’s is amazing! Their talent attracted a great deal of attention and praise and everyone is still talking about how much fun they had! The dance floor was packed the entire night! Royal Groove did an excellent job for us and we would recommend them anytime, anywhere for anyone!

We cannot say enough great things about Royal Groove. They really made our wedding a fantastically fun and memorable event for everyone who attended. We are still getting calls asking where we found such amazingly talented singers/musicians! The band is not only talented from a musical perspective, but they also do a wonderful job creating and promoting a lively and fun atmosphere by getting the audience involved. They are warm and personable, talented and very professional. I would highly recommend them on every level, as our wedding would never have been the same without them!

Royal Groove took our wedding reception to another level times 100! I have seen and heard a lot of bands throughout the southest, but none of them are on the level of Royal Groove. Everyone is still talking about how much they loved the band!! Everyone was dancing non-stop! CD quality sound! Huge song selection! Excellent price! The members are very down to earth and were very willing to add songs to the reception that were not previously in their song list. I recommend Royal Groove 110% percent! Also, the lead singer, Ricky Beavers, sang the Lord's Prayer in my wedding at the last minute (someone else pulled out)! Great people and great music! Forever in our hearts!

I could not have been happier with the Royal Groove Band at my 50th Birthday Party. Their name Royal Groove mean to me you will get the Royal Treatment!!! if you book this band. Everyone really enjoyed the band. They couldn't believe that their sound was just, like CD recording, but live! All my friends and family love this band. It June now and they're still talking about this band! Many say, that they are better than any band that heard in past. They all says that they want to book this band's for their future events. I know I'll in the near future book this band Royal Groove. This band should be on your BEST BAND LIST!! FABULOUS!!! Mrs. Phyllis Putman, Greenville, SC
