On the day they arrived on time, were prepared and ready to go without the wedding party noticing which was great - no fuss!

A big thank you - so many guests commented on you guys and just how great you sounded and looked - the whole set up was fantastic!

Good luck for the future!

"Groove Star are an amazingly professional and competent band, with extremely talented singers and musicians. They intermingled with the guests on the dance floor from time to time which was fun; they played good songs; the dance floor was buzzing right to the end; we have received lots of comments saying that Groove Star were brilliant.

We would definitely recommend this band for a function playing to any age group. Our guests were aged 16 - 86 and everyone loved the band. We would book this band again if having another party - maybe a wedding one day!!"
