Where do I even start? Tim was a superstar on our wedding day, so easy to communicate with and he even went above and beyond to supply the crazy playlist we asked for, everything from English to Moroccan music, salsa, bachata, samba ... He was super friendly and accommodating and all the guests loved him! He played the trumpet on some of the songs and the dance floor turned into a cheering crowd. People still haven’t recovered, thank you so much Tim :)

Tim, was really good with communication on the run up to the event and performed great on the night. Would hire him again!

Groove Empire are a band with tons of smiles, good vibes and even better music. I found myself wanting to dance to every song they performed, and found myself thoroughly enjoying myself. I would happily hire them again if I was to have another event and hope I get to see them perform again!

If I was to offer other couples one tip, it would be to get Groove Empire to be your band. From the moment we were first in contact with Tim, he was incredibly responsive, professional and utterly attentive to all our needs. The band were incredibly flexible and collaborative and we worked together to put together our perfect wedding playlist which mixed new and old and included all our favourites. The musical talent of every band member was exceptional and they kept the dance floor packed for the full two-hour set. You will not find a better wedding band anywhere in Europe, and we know, we spent weeks checking!
