Groove Place LLC

Groove Place played at my wedding at the Horticultural Center in Philadelphia on March 24. I was absolutely thrilled with their performance. Jazz during cocktail hour was perfect for setting the atmosphere. Once the reception started, they had everyone up on the dance floor from the very beginning. Their energy was amazing, and it never let up for the entire night. They had the entire wedding (including all the horn players) weaving around the room in one of the best congo lines I've ever been a part of. They played a great collection of songs, and they did an excellent job with our wedding song, which they learned for the event. The lead singers did an amazing job, the horns were fantastic, and Dana was excellent - responsive, had great suggestions, was very organized, and extremely easy to work with. We received so many compliments about the band - everyone at the wedding had something good to say about them. I absolutely recommend Groove Place.

If there were more stars then 5, Groove Place would receive it. Every band member was so pleasant and they did a fantastic job at our wedding reception. Many of our guests commented that they were blown away by the band's performance. A special thanks to Dana, he really worked with us to get to know my now husband and what our guests would like. He even worked with our banquet hall contact to see if any additional equipment would be necessary. After hearing them at a showcase they set my expectations really high, and they definitely far exceeded them. I would recommend this to any bride planning their wedding.

Grooveplace was amazing!!!! The band seriously made my wedding reception perfect!!! Everyone was dancing even the very old!! I received so many compliments from my guest on how incredible the band played!! Not only was the music selection perfect but the band was amazing to work with. I was planning a wedding, selling a house, and moving across the country -the flexibily in scheduling meetings was great with my crazy schedule! Dana, the manager was so pleasant, accomodatting, and absolutely the easiest vender I had with my entire wedding planning!! I had so many special request for my wedding and they fulfilled ALL of them!!!! They learned the song for our first dance along with some other requested music! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!! They were professional and incredibly talented!! THANK YOU Grooveplace for making my wedding reception AMAZING!!! With enormous gratitude Lisa and Chris

Groove Place was amazing! They were wonderful from beginning to end. They were so helpful picking songs, they even learned songs for us. Planning was a breeze with them. During the reception, they were flexible when some of the music order changed. The dance floor was packed all night, and people kept coming up to us to tell us how great the band was. We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for an awesome band. They were an awesome value. THANK YOU DANA AND GROOVE PLACE!

Hiring Groove Place was the best decision we made for our reception. Groove Place sounded a-maz-ing, and had everyone up dancing and having a great time. I would reccomend them to anyone. They learned our first song and performed it perfectly. They also learned some other music for us. What a great experience and no hassle at all. You know how planning a wedding reception can be. Groove Place made the music part of the reception a breeze. We worried about NOTHING. If you want a talented, classy, fun and experienced band for your wedding (or any event I am sure), GROOVE PLACE IS IT!!! No need to look any further. Thank you again Dana, Bobby & the rest of the band. Groove Place was the BEST!

Groove Place was an absolute joy to work with. They responded immediately when we first inquired about their services, and quickly set up a time for us to come listen to them. We knew that we wanted to book them as soon as we heard them play, and didn't regret it for an instant. They allowed us to pick practically every song they played at our reception, as well as how we wanted the night to go. Our guests loved them and had a great time; we will never forget the experience we had at our reception!

The Groove Place music was more then great it was fabulous. Great wedding band. Our guests are still taking about the band. They provided everything they said they would. They had our guest dancing all night. It was a pleasure working with them, they were eager to please us. We would recomend their services for anyone needing music.

Groove Place was an excellent choice of bands for our party. They were professional, on time and GREAT musicians. We thoroughly enjoyed them and their music. Groove Place was very flexible, and learned new songs at our request. They are all around a super band, and a super value. I would reccomend them to anyone.

Groove Place played at my Dad's 60th birthday party and they were absolutely amazing.

From my first phone call with Dana, through all of the planning, to the actual day of the party, they were so easy to work with, were very flexible to last minute changes/requests, and put on the an amazing performance. They had everyone up on the floor dancing. I don't think I stopped dancing all night. In fact, they barely even took a break!

They were also very good with the crowd, and incorporated them into their performance. for the entire night. At one point, the saxophonist was leading the entire party through the venue in a congo line, while playing "Love Train."

I can honestly say that they made the night. My mother and I are still getting emails, phone calls and letters from people saying how great of a time they had, and asking who the band was.

Thanks Groove Place!!

Best Band our guests have ever heard. If you want a fabulous dance party this is the band to have at your wedding. Wonderful to deal with...very accommodating!!! would highly recommend...you won't be dissapointed!!

Groove place had the family and friends up and dancing before the night even got started. They were easy to work with and very flexible. The Set list was perfect. They even learned one of my original songs and performed it with me!!

These guys were awesome...from singing to harmony to wireless Sax Solos... I don't just recommend them... I STRONGLY Recommend them. If you don't stop by Groove Place your wasting your time and money.

Sincerely,
Brett and Hilary Dearth Married Oct 1st 2011

Hi
Our band was fabulous. They did every song we wanted and learned our wedding song. I couldn't of been happier. Everyone was dancing all night at our wedding. I highly recommend them for your next event!!!!

GroovePlace is the best wedding band I have ever seen and boy have I have seen a ton. Prior to our wedding day I had never actually seen them live. Two of my friends had, one was the bride and one a bridesmaid, and they could not praise them enough. We watched all the videos and listed to all the demos and they can’t compare the seeing GP live. The warm response and professionalism we received from Grooveplace goes unmatched. We went with the sight unseen based on the feeling we had. Dana goes above and beyond and after booking these guys we knew the wedding would be a success. The dance floor was packed from the first song (7 p.m.-12 p.m.) until the last with crowd even chanting "One more song!" Pleasing everyone one from 21-91 these guys (and gal) just knocked it out of the park. My sister should be getting engaged within the next few weeks and I think we will greatly disappoint our family and friends by not booking them again! So mnay people have complimented us on the choice of band and the variety of music they play so well.

Go with Grooveplace for your wedding and you will not regret it.

I cannot speak highly enough of Groove Place. We are still getting compliments from our guests more than two months later.

Dana was accommodating, professional, and above all else responsive, he was a pleasure to work with.

So what can I say. Some professionals are dedicated and some go over the top. Groove place went over the top. Anyone could have canceled their sevrvices based on the biggest hurricane of the decade but not Groove Place they showed up ready to rock the crowd which they did. I cannot thank them enough for sticking it out and making our daughter's wedding a huge success. How bout learning the song Rock me like a Hurricane with hours to spare so the bride and groom could use this for their entrance song. They are all great people and very down to earth. So cheers to you Dana and band with another blue hurricane signature drink. Thank you. Fran Besack

Groove Place is AWESOME!!! They have the friendliest band members who really enjoy interacting with the crowd - they keep your guests up and dancing!!! Would definetely recommend them to brides looking for a great, entertaining band for their wedding! They learned our entrance song the night before our wedding since it was during a hurricane - we wanted them to sing "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and they did - true troopers as they all traveled from pretty far places in the middle of Hurricane Irene!

What a great band! From the cocktail hour, to the first dance, to the tasteful dinner music, and finally to the wild and crazy dance floor, Dana Camacho and Groove Place kept everyone at our wedding snapping, tapping, and dancing all night long. Cairnwood Mansion may never be the same! Not only did they learn the first dance for us, but they played the songs we requested, and took very little break time. No one wanted the music to end. Anyone who wants fantastic music with a great variety of selections, professional service, and all-around great musicians should definitely book Groove Place. We can’t thank them enough for their outstanding performance and for making our wedding an unforgettable evening of music, dancing, and fun.

Groove Place was AMAZING!! They made the reception and people continue to talk about how great the band was. Everyone ages 5-75, were dancing almost the entire night. The only complaint was that the dance floor was too crowded! Dana and the GP gang were friendly, professional, fun, and flexible. Groove Place truly made our wedding reception the dance party we wanted. I highly recommend them to any bride!

Groove Place was the perfect choice for our wedding reception. The band leader Dana was incredibly professional and really knows what he is doing. He met with us several weeks before the wedding and talked through details and took the time to figure out what we really wanted. The band was also extremely flexible and were able to take all of our special requests in stride. They cover such a wide array of music that there is something for everyone. Groove Place had the dance floor packed all night long and was such a hit with our guests that we haven't stopped receiving compliments about them.

Dana and his band Groove Place performed at our wedding on July 16, 2011. They were very professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. I am not the easiest customer and am very demanding. They met my every need without any complaints. They learned our First Dance and the Mother/Son song which they did beautifully. For a 10 piece band their pricing is unbeatable. I did much research on bands and listened to about 6 different ones before making my decision, out of all of them they were hands down the best (even better then the $10k band we looked at). All of the guests at the wedding are still commenting on how much they loved the band and how a live band was a nice touch. I would highly recommend them for your wedding or any special occasion and I will be using them again in the future. Thanks Groove Place for everything.

Wow!!! Groove Place performed at our wedding on July 2nd at the Crystal Tea Room and boy were they amazing! We had gone to check out many bands and they were definitely our favorite! I wanted a big horn band and that is what we got! Dana, the leader of the band was great to work with! They played music that appealed to every person in the crowd and kept the dance floor packed from the first dance on! All of our guests had such a great time. They even let us (bride & groom) get on stage and sing the last song of the night with the band! Would definitely recommend them for anyone trying to decide to book for their event. Our guests have not stopped talking about them!!! We were just on vacation with all of my cousins and they could not stop raving about how they are the best band they have ever seen at a wedding.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this band, they exceeded our expectations. We did extensive research to find a wedding band and were rather discouraged with how expensive they can be...groove place however was very reasonable and fabulous! If you want a wedding where the dance floor is never empty this is the band you want! They were professional and loads of fun! We still get comments how they were the best wedding band that our guests had ever heard! They really helped make our wedding a blast! Thank you again Groove Place, I will forever recommend you!

Outstanding - Groove Place played at my brother Brian's wedding, and then at ours. They are a very talented and fun band, and helped make our wedding reception such a great time. They really know how to throw a party! Thanks Dana and the rest of the band.

Groove Place was awesome. We had so much fun at our wedding and a lot of that was because of the band. We never left the dance floor. They are talented and flexible. They were great with learning new songs for our first dance and parent dance. We truly had a wonderful time.
Thank you!

Quite simply, Groove Place was the best wedding band imaginable. We could not have been more pleased! They were courteous and responsive -- the coordinator at our reception site indicated to us that they were very organized and professional. They also were very accommodating -- our first dance song, our father/daughter song, and our mother/son song were not on their play list, but they mastered them. We got a ton of compliments from our guests, including "best band we've ever heard at a wedding!" They were really entertaining, and the voices and musicianship were top notch. We really cannot recommend them highly enough -- they were great, and we had a blast!

Groove Place made my boyfriend's 50th Birthday Party a blast!! Right from the beginning they were very responsive and accommodating. We met the band at our convenience and discussed what songs and what we expected. We placed everything in the hands of the band and they were great. Everything was perfect and went as we wanted and expected. The band interacted with our guests and we loved it and so did our guests. Everyone was up dancing the entire evening. We requested a special Polish song and they learned it with only a few days notice. They were professional in every sense of the word!!! They only took two very short breaks. The next day we received so many phone calls saying what a great time people had at the party. It is a week later and we are still receiving calls! If you hire this band for your special occasion you will not be disappointed. I wish I could hire them every weekend!!! Trust me for our next special occasion Groove Place will definitely be included!!!

Best Band Ever!!! My Guest didn't leave the dance floor, they did everything we asked, and sounds was perfect! So Glad we picked Grooveplace for our wedding! Best Night of my Life!!!

Having The Groove Place was one of the best decisions we made about our wedding! Their spectacular music and their awesome energy made the evening. No one could leave the dance floor all night--each song was better than the next! All of our guests told us The Groove Place was "the best band they had ever heard at a wedding"---and we could not have agreed more! Groove Place made this a night we will always remember. They were a pleasure to work with and their amazing performance exceeded all of our expectations. I would highly recommend The Groove Place for any event!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Groove Place. The band performed at our wedding on October 2nd, 2010 and far exceeded any expectations we had. Aside from being such a talented band with a wide range of songs, Dana Camacho, the leader of the band was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made our special day the best one of our lives. If you want a party that no one will ever forget then you need to book Groove Place for your event.

Having Groove Place at our wedding was the best decision we made!!! All our guests danced all night. They all told us this was the best wedding band they have every seen. They were so easy to work with, accommodating, and professional. If you want a band that are true professional musicians, that can read the energy of the group and play their hearts out then Groove Place is the right choice! They truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Do not hesitate to book them. You will not be disappointed.

people talk about 2 things when the wedding has past. the music and the food. We were so happy when people kept coming up to us DURING the wedding saying how awesome the band was and how much fun they were having.. this was, of course, in between their dance steps b/c everyone was on the dance floor...

we looked at about 5 bands seriously, and probably hundreds of other bands through websites like gigmasters and just google searches. we narrowed it down to a couple within our price range, that had setlists to our tastes. we wanted everyone dancing and having fun to songs they knew and could sing to... 70s, 80s, 90s funk and party music with jazz standards for the ceremony, dinner and cocktail hour.

we went and saw Groove place at a bar in Pennsylvania and instantly were impressed and fell in love. they were playing to a packed house, a typical, mixed nj/ny/pa crowd, standing around drinking and chatting... Within the first song, everyone stopped and turned and was singing and dancing. there was, seriously, a dance floor going on in the middle of this bar, unlike anything i'd seen... a couple other engaged couples were there, checking out the band and we chatted with one or two. They all seemed interested as well...

We booked em for aug 28th of 2010. We did almost the most work on finding a band over anything else.. But once the planning started with Dana, the band leader, it turned out to be one of the easiest parts... He was super easy to talk to, get advice from, and count on when you needed him. He always responded to emails promptly and was knowledgeable about wedding process. He worked well with the event planner & caterer to get his equipment in and set up. we didn't see any of it happen, but it happened as planned. We got to be involved in making the setlist for th wedding and the songs we didn't choose turned out to be amazing. we chose our first dance and they learned it... Dave Matthews Crush.

shredding guitar solo from micheal jackson, sax player in the middle of the dance floor soloing, my buddy on stage playing guitar with the band, mustang sally, trumpet players dancing together to the song, lead singers have great voices, frank sinatra... all memorable moments...

i could go on for hours. these guys seriously rock. dana is so awesome. trust him with your event and he'll have everyone dancing and having a blast. people still tell us how awesome the band was.. i wish we could do it again. if we could, choosing the band this time would be much easier :)

The Groove Place Band is FABULOUS!!! We are back to reality now just returning from North Carolina and are still singing the songs you played at the wedding! I can't begin to tell you how happy we were to celebrate with you at the wedding!! We had an AMAZING time and our guests did because of the Groove Place's outstanding music. You were right, everyone was out on the dance floor!! We are so thankful for the time you spent making our night so special! From the two songs you learned for us to the never-ending emails...you took so much time to make our day perfect! The jazz trio was so well received everyone was raving...then to the main event, the music had everyone singing! We can't wait to see you at your future gig and are proud to be the newest members of the Groove Place fan club...along with our 200 guests!!! You are fabulous and we would love to reccomend you to anyone having a special event!! If you could please pass this along to the entire crew as we want to show our appreciation to everyone!!

From the sound of the first horn, Groove Place had everyone on the dance floor. Our guest list could not have been any more diverse in ages; we had great-grandchildren, their great-grandparents and everyone in between. Yet absolutely everyone danced the night away to the magic of motown, the sauciness of swing, and even the shake of Shakira. The band was more than flexible, they worked with us to really make the night what we wanted it to be. They even helped us wow all of our guests with our first dance, a surprise swing dance to the tune of "Here Comes the Bride"!

We could not have asked for anything more from the night. We had all the typical last-minute jitters but Dana the bandleader was great in walking us through the steps and helping us stay calm. The band as a whole was personal enough to make you feel like you've known them for years, but professional enough to look damn good in their tuxes (and dress!). The energy was high from start to finish and Groove Place truly made the party. You won't get this pizaaz from a dj and you'd be hard-pressed to find a band that your guests will enjoy as much as Groove Place.
For a good time, call 484-459-0101! Groove Place!

Groove Place will not disappoint! The sound is spectacular, and the band members are very professional. They guys and gal have GREAT personality and kept our guests dancing. There is a great variety of music, and the musicians come onto the dance floor for some added fun. Groove Place learned a special song for our entrance in no time, and it was spot on. Our guests are raving about them! Groove Place will make your special event memorable to everyone!

I cannot say enough positive remarks about Groove Place. My husband and I hired them to play at our wedding cocktail hour and reception. They added the perfect atmosphere to the wedding. During the cocktail hour, they had select members of the band playing jazz standards. It was very classy and made for nice background music. This was perfect because people could still do all of the normal chatting that cocktail hour usually consists of but with great music in the background. The lead male vocalist is also the MC. He did a great job with announcing the wedding party. Groove Place learned our first dance song. They were so accomodating in making sure that the songs that we wanted to hear were played. Dana Camacho is the band leader and he is great. He responds to all emails almost instantaneously. He met with us before the wedding to map out a plan. When we left the meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Dana is receptive to ideas and is great at suggesting things that you may not have thought of. The crowd at my wedding raved about Groove Place. I have been getting calls and emails from my guests raving about the band. They have been saying that the band was fantastic and that they hope to get to see them again. Hire Groove Place to play at your wedding!!! You will not regret it!!

Absolutely fabulous band! Couldn't have asked for a better band to top off a perfect night! They are diverse and classy. Thanks Groove Place!!!

Groove Place, Raul and I absolutley loved you guys! You were professional, fun and above all extremely talented! Thank you for all your hard work, you were the life of the party!

Lots of love

Mr. & Mrs. Castillo 2010

An exceptional band. We were told that guests would be on the dance floor from song number 1 and they actually were! This band really made the reception a great success. They listened to what we wanted and carried it out flawlessly.

Groove Place had our entire party dancing and we received an overwhelming response from our wedding guests. Everybody LOVED them! They are easy to work with, professional, motivated, take a deep interest in your special event, had the best price and blew the roof off the party. They were able to feel the vibe from our party and deliver on our wishes. Groove Place exceeded our expectations and totally rocked. We did a lot of searching and couldn't be happier with our choice. Seriously, there is no need to hesitate when booking this band, the bride and I couldn?t be happier.

Let me begin by saying that my wife and I are music nerds. Dana and his team were extremely kind and considerate. They offered to let me play a song with the band, learned four songs and helped us craft a set list that hit all the right notes. They sounded as good as or better than any of the bands we ever looked at; and I�m including bands that cost FIVE TIMES as much. Guests remarked how some songs sounded just like the originals and the energy and musicianship were absolutely fantastic. I would be happy to talk about them in more detail if you wanted to contact me at ritujoyc at yahoo dot com. I would strongly recommend you choose Grooveplace and Dana.

Every time I have had the privilege to witness Groove Place, they've sounded great and kept the dance floor hopping!

Groove Place performed here (Ballroom at the Moorestown Community House) last September for a wedding. The bride and groom raved as well as the parents of the bride and the caterer. I went to see and hear them for myself, and ended up booking them for my daughters wedding. I recommend them all the time. If your budget allows...go for live music and go for Groove Place!
