What People Are Saying

“The Groove Nation Orchestra gave a great performance at our wedding. Dave was terrific at playing the crowd. He kept the band upbeat but understated throughout dinner and then totally rocked the hora! Everyone danced the night away and people are still telling us what a great time they had at our wedding. Groove Nation MADE our event!”
-- Roxann & Adam Fromm (Bride & Groom)

“I hired Groove Nation for my company holiday party and was knocked out by their professionalism. They not only played great dance music but performed holiday songs that set the mood for the party. They sounded so good that I hired them again for my wedding! Highly Recommended.”
-- Dr. John Curlander - IBM Team Manager

“When a corporate client needs live music for an event, I never hesitate to recommend the Groove Nation Orchestra. Their fantastic video shows how the GNO will rock the party, but clients also rave about their professionalism. Groove Nation has an incredibly diverse repertoire, they read the room and anticipate the client's needs, and they keep the dance floor filled all night long. Kathy and Joe are wonderful entertainers.”
-- Nancy Whittimore - Logistics / Events Manager PSI

“Whenever I have a large-scale event to orchestrate, one thing I don't have to worry about is the band! The Groove Nation Orchestra have almost become the “house band” here at Ballyneal. Whether it's a golf tournament or a destination wedding, The GNO really deliver for our members & their guests!”
-- Rupert O'Neal - Owner / GM Ballyneal Golf Club & Resort
