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

Hey Atlanta, The Groovy Groove Band is a Phenomenal Group. I am so happy I chose them for my husband’s 70th birthday party. They were absolutely Amazing. They even learned a song for my husband that wasn’t a part of the normal songs they play. My husband was and still Over The Moon. I thank you again on behalf of everyone that was at this Amazing Birthday Celebration. I will definitely be promoting The Groovy Grove Band!!!!

The Groovy Groove Band is absolutely exceptional! I hired them for my husband’s 40th surprise party with over 100 guests, and they exceeded every expectation. Their communication was professional, they were incredibly flexible, and they adapted quickly when unexpected rain forced changes to the setup.
The crowd loved them and repeatedly complimented how fun, talented, and engaging they were throughout the night. They truly made the party unforgettable. With their level of talent, professionalism, and energy, I have no doubt they have a very successful future ahead. You will not be disappointed. I will absolutely be using them again and referring them to many others! If you are considering booking them, do it, you will not be disappointed. I will absolutely be using them again and referring them to many others. They are truly incredible, and we are so grateful for an amazing evening that we will cherish for years to come! THANK YOU!!
