Client Reviews

WOW the band was a big hit with everyone. A lot of people commented on how good they were and they wanted them to play longer but we were ready to call it a night. – Mr. Hudiburg

Everyone loved the band and danced all night! I believe that a band can make or break a reception and the Groove Merchants provided for a great time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Many of the guests asked who they were and where they were from, so that is always a good sign! Thanks so much for everything along the way. – Jennifer

It was sooooo great and the Groove Merchants were a HUGE hit!!!  I have had several girls with upcoming weddings inquiring about the band!  Truly were amazing!!!!  Everything went perfectly well and we couldn’t have been more pleased!!!  Please let them know how much we loved them and were so happy with the music!!!   Thank you!!! – Jetta

Just want to let you know the band did an amazing job!  Everyone at our reception was dancing and letting loose like we wanted. I just want to thank you and the band for making our night. I will definitely work with you and/or recommend you to anyone in the future. Thanks again!” – Zack

They were wonderful!  Everyone enjoyed them and thought they were great.  I would highly recommend the Groove Merchants to anyone!!!!” – Sarah

Please pass along the groom’s and my thanks to the Groove Merchants for playing our wedding on Saturday.  They were absolutely fantastic — many people told us it was the best music they’d ever heard at a wedding, and the whole crowd got into the dancing.  They really did a great job of MC’ing the evening.  We really appreciate your work and the band’s to make it such a great night.” – Stephanie

Thank you for your patience with our many questions leading up to last weekend’s wedding!  It all went great, thanks in part to your help. Everyone loved the band.  They were absolutely terrific, and just exactly what the bride and groom had hoped for.  Everyone we’ve talked to agrees the band was a huge hit. Personally, I think the band is what set just the right tone for every phase of the reception/vows/party/dancing.  We couldn’t be happier with them, and with your great service on their behalf.” – Barbara
