The Groovy Groove Band was a big hit at our event! We booked them within a close turnaround to our event after our other entertainment fell through and they confirmed right away all the details and were able to make it happen to perform at our corporate reception! Everyone loved the energy and the music they brought to the event, the guests had a wonderful time and they rolled with the changes as we had to move from outdoor to indoor and adjust the flow of the event due to weather. Many of our local guests took their information for their own use and we will certainly use them again should business bring us back to the Atlanta area.

Details: Corporate event • 51 - 75 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Guitar • Other strings • Band • Variety • Pop / top 40 • Jazz / Blues • Outdoors

These gentleman (and a very talented lady) were a delight to work, flexible, understanding and above all- they made fantastic music and really leveled up my husband’s 50th birthday party. They were super responsive, worked with me on the playlist, made great suggestions and even rolled with it when we had a sudden thunderstorm an hour before the (outdoor) party. If i could give them 10 stars, I would and i will definitely be calling them again anytime i need entertainment.
