Hi Sue,
Just a quick note to say thank you to you and the band for the fantastic gig you put on for us at our wedding. We had a wonderful day and it was topped off by the great party you put on in the evening. We've already had people asking us about where we found you!
Thanks again and look forward to seeing you in Motion/Sway etc!!!
Cheers, Phil.

Hi Sue,
Following a search for a quality band for our wedding we booked Groovetunes.
After hearing Groovetunes we believed they should be good but nothing could have prepaid us for the great evening they delivered.
The band not only learnt our "First Dance" song and performed it perfectly they also proved to be the perfect band for a great wedding party. They involved the guests in singing songs such as Mustang Sally and ensured that the dance floor was always full. Every single guest has commented on how fantastic the band was and that they made the night.
I have no hesitation in recommending Groovetunes for a wedding or party evening they are amazingl. They delivered the perfect mix of well known all time classics and sing along songs through the evening. Many thanks for helping making our day so special.

Sue,
Groovetunes - absolutely marvellous!! So many people have said that they have never been to a wedding where the dance floor has been packed - from the first dance to the last!! So much variety and it was just so amazing!! I know we didn't stop dancing all night !!
We also appreciated the band letting people take over - Stuart on the drums, followed by my Dad and Andrew's best man Jason singing. It really was appreciated - my Dad had been learning to play the drums for over 4 years now and that was his first time in front of an audience - he loved it!!
I'd like to thank you again for all of your efforts, the day ran really smoothly and we were so pleased with the artists you provided. Please pass our sincere thanks to all of them and we know where to come if we need anyone else!! We'd definitely recommend you to our friends and family.
Thank you ever so much for your help.
Love
Naomi and Andrew Sanger

A huge massive thank you to you and the band for Saturday night, the band were absolutely amazing, everyone was so impressed at how brilliant they were, how enthusiastic and involving they were and the
incredible job they did at making us sound somewhat good - it was a very difficult task.
Thank you, we look forward to seeing you at our next party, where we where we will try to learn the words a little better.
Thanks for all the organising and rearranging you did for us Sue.

Thank you for creating such a party atmosphere. Everyone was on the dance floor from the first song and pretty much stayed there".

"The professionalism of the whole band is the best I've seen particularly the way in which the disco and band produce the seamless changeovers which of course keeps everyone on the dance floor.
Thanks for helping to make their wedding the most memorable day of Nicky and Dave's life"
