Groove Place is a ten-piece horn band that performs a wide variety of music including Dance, R&B, Funk, Soul, Motown, Rock, Blues, Big Band, Jazz and Latin. We feature a dedicated front male and female vocalist, a hot four-piece horn section consisting of sax, two trumpets, and trombone; combined with a rocking rhythm section of keyboard, guitar, bass and drums. Having worked throughout the Mid-Atlantic States for the past seven years, Groove Place has developed into a polished, extremely entertaining, high-energy dance party band determined to captivate the crowd at your special event. Our diverse song repertoire and experience make us a leader in the Philadelphia wedding and private party arena. We are proud to have served so many satisfied clients over the years and we hope you become one of the many who rave about us.
As you already probably know, finding an excellent horn band at a reasonable price is like finding a needle in a haystack. It is a jungle out there with so many bands at varying sizes and rates. How do you know what is right for you and what is reasonable or overpriced?
Why us? We are solely owned and operated and are not part of a larger conglomerate. This means you deal directly with the bandleader and save on the overhead cost found within many larger entertainment entities. Our goal is to provide excellent entertainment at a reasonable cost.

We pride ourselves on nothing but satisfied customers.Our feedback below is an example of the hard work we put into each client we serve:
Grooveplace made our wedding a huge success! Everyone (even those that don't dance) was on the dance floor from start to finish. Dana was professional, accommodating, and kind, and made the process so easy from start to finish. We asked for upbeat and motown, and they killed it. We had sooo many compliments from our guests on how great the band was, and it really made the wedding. You cannot beat the value that you get with grooveplace, and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a great party at their wedding! -- Lindsey L, Coatesville, PA, 9/26/2009
What can I say about Groove Place that would let the next person know just how wonderful they are??? I could sit and write 500 words, or I could just say Groove Place, in my book was "OUTSTANDING" "WONDERFUL" "TALENT" "VOICES", they were the BEST band I have seen in a very long time. I was very surprised how good they were, all of my guests had something to say about them, not the food, not the venue, just them. Thank you Groove Place for making the party wonderful.... I will hire you again and again. Thanks again YOU CAN'T GO WRONG IF YOU GET THIS BAND -- Lisa H, Harrisburg, PA
Groove Place had the 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. I was impressed by their versatility as 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. -- Robert B, Philadelphia, PA
You and your band did much to make the wedding such an enjoyable and memorable event. Everyone thought that the band was wonderful and so much fun! You are all truly talented musicians and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone we know who is looking for a band. Thank you so very much for your professionalism and musical expertise. We were so grateful that Bridget and Rob chose The Groove Place for their reception. -- Mother of the Bride, Patti Oconnell, Philadelphia, PA
These guys were amazing!! We ditched our flower budget and went with a band and it made the party! Groove Place had all of our friends and family on the dance floor for the entire night and people are still talking about it. It was great! Dana, the band manager was awesome to work and they nailed our wedding song that was outside their usual play list. We give Groove Place our 100% recommendation! -- Sky A, Rehoboth, DE
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. -- Ritujoy C, Philadelphia, PA, 11/15/2008
The Groove Place performed for my nephews wedding this past month. They were absolutely magnificent. A family member said he had not danced in years, but the music moved him to dance. YOU will never regret the decision to have Groove place be a part of your very special day. The food was delicious the Bride was beautiful, but when it was all said and done the one thing that everyone was still talking about was the dancing and the music. Groove Place was truly a gift from the Bride and Groom to all their guest. Thank you Groove Place for the memories our family will cherish for a life time. Victoria Santopietro -- Victoria S, Rehoboth Beach, DE, 10/17/2008
Groove place is a fantastic band that my husband and I highly recommend! The band made our wedding reception. All of our guests were up dancing and having a blast. Everyone raved about the quality of Groove Place. We love you guys! -- Shane C, Rose Valley, PA, 8/30/2008
Groove Place worked with us every step of the way. Any request we made, they went out of their way to get it done. Everyone that attended our wedding makes comments about how great of a job the band did. They kept the dance floor packed all night long. I would recommend them for any event, especially a wedding. Top notch all the way. -- Terry L, Buena, NJ, 8/9/2008
What an awesome band! They exceeded our expectations! We can't wait till next year & will plan our party around when they are available! (The whole band!) Loved the horns!! And the girls - they can SING! -- Donna G, Shrewsbury, PA, 7/12/2008
Groove Place was awesome!!! We really enjoyed ourselves, as did our guests. Everyone is still talking about how great the band was. They were very professional, and very fun! An unexpected limbo contest even broke out! What a blast, and I will DEFINITELY be recommending Groove Place to anyone looking for a great band! Stephanie Holloway -- Stephanie H, Media, PA, 6/21/2008
This group was a pleasure to work with from the moment we met. They took our "Havana" theme and hired a few extra singers to create the sound we were looking for. They are flexible and will do what it takes to make your evnt a success. The instrumentalists were absolute professionals and the singers were extremely talented. Besides that, Grooveplace is filled with a great group of individuals that are passionate about their music. The American Heart Association is glad they had the opportunity to work with Grooveplace and looks forward to working with them on future events. -- Jodi S, Whippany, NJ, 6/7/2008
We just had our wedding on the 3rd of Nov 2007, and if it wasn't for Groove Place the 3rd of Nov, would of came and went like any other wedding. Bottom line they made that night kick ass. It is a sight to see when 90% of the guests are up and dancing BEFORE they even got their food. No one had to tell them to get up and dance, they just couldn't resist. Unbelievably friendly, professional, talented, and really just there for you to make it a special night. I had a silly 3 segway song thing to introduce my people, thinking it would never fly i put it out there and they thought it was a great idea and got it down pat to make it happen. Don't pass them up!!!!!!!!!! -- Keith D, Philadelphia, PA, 9/15/2007
