Groove Manuva's Reviews

5 out of 5

Groove Manuva played at my wedding. They were so good! All the guests commented on how great they were. They learnt our first dance especially for us which was such a nice touch. We can’t thank them enough for being part of our special day. We also rented their Photo Booth which went down really well, lots of very funny photos were taken.

We had Groove Manuva play at our wedding on the 15th October at Oulton Hall…what I can say they were absolutely amazing!!!!!! The dance floor was full all the time,they played an amazing variety of music and all my guests afterwards said how fantastic they were and where did we find them! We also had acoustic music played whilst enjoying canapés and drinks and this was also a lovely touch from Mitch and the others from the band! The saxophone and music towards the end of the night was a great end to the night….I would highly recommend booking this band for your wedding!! Best we have ever heard 😊😊 thanks again to everyone who played we are so grateful. Sophie and paddy x
