Best band you could pick for your wedding night. Catered to our every need and helped make my wedding the best night ever. So many compliments about the band and so easy to work with!

If I could recommend just one thing to any couple planning their wedding… HIRE GROOVE AND MOTION!!!!
I can’t gush about our experience enough. The band was extremely communicative and easy to work with throughout the planning process. My husband and I had a few fun / specific song requests we asked GnM to learn - and they were SO accommodating with all of them. Leading up to the wedding, we knew they would be good - but I truly cannot put into words how much they absolutely rocked. Our dance floor was PACKED all evening. I lost count of the times that guests said “this is the best wedding band I’ve ever seen!” (Or something similar.)
Every song was SO GOOD, I did not leave the dance floor for the entirety of their set. I missed my own dessert for dancing too much & my feet were killing me by the end of the night, but GnM single-handedly made our reception into one of the most fun evenings of my life.
Groove and Motion….. thank you for everything. You are amazing and we will be on the lookout for a GnM show next time we visit Colorado!

Wedding Band
How do you create a successful wedding? You surround yourself with your people, great food and amazing music. That is just what we did at our daughter’s wedding in Larkspur, Colorado.
We knew we wanted a band to provide music throughout the wedding day from ceremony to reception. After a long search, which included watching many videos and dropping in at live performances, we chose Groove ‘N Motion without question. Scott Handler, the band’s leader, is compassionate about his work and proud of what he has created. We communicated several times throughout the planning process with Scott, and he immediately responded to our phone calls and emails. He listened closely to all our requests and wholeheartedly carried them out on the day of the wedding. Each band member is unique and extremely talented in their craft from vocals to horns. They engaged with our guests and truly put on an amazing performance. If you want a band for your wedding, look no further. We’ve done the legwork. You will not be disappointed, and your guests will thank you for bringing joy to their day. Thank you, Groove ‘N Motion for the emotional and heartwarming sounds during our daughter’s wedding ceremony that brought tears to some of our guests, classy music during the cocktail hour and jamming, energetic sounds that got our guests dance the night away during the reception. Everyone had a memorable time that will be talked about for the years to come.

Absolutely LOVE this crew. They brought such an energy to our wedding and engaged with us all evening. Their catalog is the most extensive of any of the bands we considered and yet they still went out of their way to learn some of our favorites.
They sound perfect, play a wide variety of music and feed off the crowd. Most importantly, they're extremely easy to communicate with. Can't say enough good things about Groove 'N Motion.
Jazz Band, Wedding Band
Groove 'N Motion performed at our wedding this year and were outstanding! Their library of songs to choose from is extensive and their communication was great leading up to our event as well. Our dance floor was packed the whole night and many of our guests were raving about the band. I would highly recommend Groove 'N Motion for any event!
Wedding Band
The band was the most important decision for me while planning our wedding celebration and I couldn't have been more happy with GnM. They were absolutely wonderful to work with and had prompt communication through out the planning process. They learned extra songs for us which made our wedding day the most perfect day. They had the greatest variety of songs and allowed me to have an input in their setlist. The dance floor was completely packed the entire reception. 10/10 would recommend this band if your looking for a fun & groovy party. The musicians were extremely talented and know how to put on a great show. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Cannot recommend Groove 'N Motion enough. Our band selection was near the top of our priority list, if not at the very top, and Groove 'N Motion exceeded our high expectations. We've lost count of how many comments we've received from guests about their talent and our dance party. But more than that, they are incredibly professional, responsive, and accomodative. They worked with us for months leading up to our wedding, including requests and adjustments, even us changing our first dance tune weeks away from the wedding. We couldn't be more pleased and happy to write this review. If you're browsing reviews and considering G'nM, your search for a top tier wedding band should end here, with them.
