Groove Alliance

Everyone raved about Groove Alliance from my grandmother to my friends. I had people ask me who they were and for their information. They got the room up and moving the whole night. Most of my guests stayed until the very end, 12:30am, best they were enjoying the music and dancing. They got people involved and Mike even sang to my grandmother. Not one complaint, they were highly regarded by all and absolutely professional.

Hi Justin,

Groove Alliance was incredible last night – everyone said that they were the best wedding band they have ever seen! 

We are so thrilled with Groove Alliance and the music from our wedding. Michael was very easy to get in touch with and a pleasure to deal with. Our guests all raved about the music, they made the night!

The entire Groove Alliance band was outstanding. We could not be happier. Everything was wonderful and they sounded amazing. They were so fun and energetic. Thank you so much!

Groove Alliance is like family to all of us at Colby College. They love the crowd and our crowd loves them. We look forward to working with them each and every year. Top-rate musicians and performers all the way.

Everything was so great!!! We loved having groove alliance as our band. The horn section was a hit and we love how they interacted with the crowd!! We would definitely recommend Groove Alliance!

I can’t say enough good things about Groove Alliance. Every band member is so talented, fun, and interactive with the crowd. Mike was so easy to work with… always answering my questions clearly and always available to discuss and go over details. We have gotten so many compliments on their music and entertainment. My sister used them in 2015 for her wedding and when we told family and friends they were doing mine people were ecstatic. Incredible group of people with amazing musical talent while at the same time able to captivate their crowd and interact with everyone. I’d highly, highly recommend Wilson Stevens and Groove Alliance over and over again!!

The entire Groove Alliance experience was amazing. Every guest at our wedding was blown away by the band and had the most fun. Their playlist was perfect. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

I was 100% satisfied with Groove Alliance and enjoyed working with Mike and his professionalism. We would highly recommend!

I received dozens of extremely favorable comments about Groove Alliance. They played great light jazz style music during dinner…and at the appropriate level…i.e. Not too loud. Mike & Amy’s voices are outstanding! The songs they picked for after dinner were appropriate for the age group of the crowd. An excellent experience!

Groove Alliance was amazing and working with Wilson Stevens was so easy and not stressful at all! I assumed I would have to do a lot more work / coordination with the band myself, but I had to do very little and everything was perfect! I couldn’t have asked for a better band experience – from the music choices, to the music quality, to the atmosphere the band created (with the fun interactive aspects of the performance), it was all perfect! 

Thank you!!

Groove Alliance was amazing. I would definitely hire them again. I will recommend them to friends too. Thank you!!!

Mike,

Just want to offer a quick thanks to you and Groove Alliance for a phenomenal performance on Saturday. All of our guests, young and old, were raving afterwards. And as I’m sure you noticed, the younger crew kept on singing even after you were done (and the singing continued on the buses!), as they didn’t want the music to end.

Similarly, you guys did a great job with all of our requests: Bryan’s performing special songs for the ceremony, the entrance music, our first dances, and everything else. We had so, so much fun.

Thanks again!

(And thanks to you, Tim, for directing us to Groove Alliance!)

Best,

I loved Groove Alliance. My husband and I decided that a live band was in the top three things we needed for our wedding and they helped to make the day perfect. We got so many compliments on them and I’ve heard of at least one of our guests who can’t wait to see one of their public shows.

This band was amazing. Our guests all wanted to know who the band was so they could use them at their next event. I overheard many people commenting that Groove Alliance was the BEST wedding band they’ve heard. We had nearly 400 guests and the dance floor was packed all night long. Thank you Groove Alliance!!!

Everyone LOVED Groove Alliance! Everyone. It was great. We really appreciated the music, energy, professionalism and the effect the music had on our alumni. They were dancing like crazy. It was really fun to see everyone enjoying the music so much. I knew I had a hit with your group. The whole scene was so successful. Thank you so much for making it all possible.

Groove Alliance made our event so special, they filled the dance floor, they were so fun and so entertaining! But most important their talent was incredible!!

Mike is very easy to collaborate with and provides great advice to make your event truly special. He and Groove Alliance were able to match our style, venue, and time the music to the respective moment… gauged our audience perfectly!

Groove Alliance is simply the BEST! Hopefully your special date fits their schedule.

Groove Alliance is the best dance band we, or any of our guests, have ever seen or danced to. We have been to over 50 weddings and events with dance bands and we can say unequivocally that Griove Alliance sets the bar. Mike understood the bride and groom perfectly and customized a play list that had every guest dancing, laughing and leaping for 3 hours. It was simply amazing. If you are seeking a wedding or event dance band, look no further. Highest recommendation.

Where to begin….Groove Alliance made our wedding!!!! I knew I always wanted a band for my wedding and when I began searching I was so glad to come across Groove Alliance. I had never seen them live but I just had a great feeling about them and booked them right away. I was blown away with how amazing they truly were. Mike was so fun to work with and so professional with an amazing sense of humor. Mike once texted me until 11:30 at night to make sure the song I wanted with my dad was just right. So not only did they rock on my wedding day but they were there with me along the way. My guests raved about the band and several of them said it was the best wedding they had been to because the band rocked!! I had the wedding I always wanted and I am so happy for my decision with booking Groove Alliance. I highly recommend them and do not even think twice they will be amazing!!!

Groove Alliance was amazing as the band for my wedding! From talking with the band leader on the phone, he made me feel so great about how everything was going to be and was soothing and reassuring to a nervous and overwhelmed bride. The singers did an amazing job with the songs that we requested from the first dance, father daughter dance, mother son dance, to the rest of the music of the evening. The dance floor was always packed and when the band had to end for the evening the guests were begging for more songs. Another amazing part of Groove Alliance is the horn section… it adds so much to the event. I recommend this band whole heartedly!

The Groove Alliance performed at our son/daughter-in-laws wedding at the Newport Yachting Center. The songs they performed had everyone up and dancing the entire night and were perfect for ALL ages that were there! Mike, Amy and the band were wonderful, very talented and entertaining, even coming down onto the dance floor and interacting with the guests who were dancing. I continue to receive compliments from our friends and family how great and impressive Groove Alliance was and how much they enjoyed the band and the entire night!

Groove Alliance was great! They were classy, professional, entertaining and very talented. Our guests raved about them!

For me, a wedding is successful when everyone is on their feet dancing all night. Groove Alliance played at my daughter’s wedding at Wolffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack, NY. This band was the best band I’ve ever heard at a wedding! People are still talking about how much fun they had. It didn’t matter what age you were. , you were out there dancing! Groove is wonderful to work with,talented and professional. They entertained and played to the crowd all night! If you want your wedding to be memorable, hire this group. You’ll be glad you did!

Groove Alliance was awesome! Mike was a pleasure to work with and was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The band had everyone up on the dance floor all night and we received a lot of compliments about them after the wedding. I would highly recommend them for a wedding.

Groove Alliance was an amazing wedding band! We received so many compliments from everyone at the wedding, including guests from MA, FL, TX, CA, from overseas in the UK. The wedding guests wouldn’t stop dancing, even those who do not usually dance at weddings. It was incredible, and Grove Alliance is worth every penny. Mike Pacheco and Amy Fichera are extremely talented vocals. We loved the way the horns and band members engaged the audience. Mike was so professional and responsive, just great to work with. The band learned a couple songs specifically for our reception, and it was perfect! Such a fun night! Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

I had seen Groove Alliance perform at a wedding band line up and really enjoyed them. So I started discussing availability and price. I researched many bands from the New England area, and Groove Alliance was a top pick. Then took my (now) husband to an event to see Groove Alliance perform. He also thought the band was really talented and personable. So we booked them! Bands always seem expensive when compared to a DJ, but they really kick the wedding reception up 10 fold and ensure everyone has a good time.

A few weeks before the wedding we realized the reception hall would not allow the band to play as late as we had originally booked them for… I guess there was a noise ordinance. We worked with Mike and the band agreed to play the time and shorten their breaks. They were very flexible and accommodating. Some of our guests even commented how impressed they were that Groove Alliance took such short breaks.

We even were impressed with Groove Alliance when watching the night via video from our videographer. Almost as good as live!

Again Mike was wonderful and we would highly recommend Groove Alliance!! They really made our wedding celebration a night to remember.

Groove Alliance did a fantastic job at our June wedding. Absolutely the best and the reviews from all the guests and hotel staff were amazing. So well done. Mike is a true professional and has an amazing band.

Getting a great wedding band was a very high priority for us, and we conducted a pretty large search to ensure this happened. It included asking friends in the industry, checking review sites, and most importantly seeing the top bands live.

We were amazed to find that not only was Groove Alliance the best band we saw live, but their pricing was extremely competitive and Mike and his band mates were extremely friendly and responsive and a pleasure to work with. They were open to any ideas and willing to do whatever we wanted to make the day exactly as we wanted, even if it meant learning new songs or getting on late night conference calls.

In the end the thing that really matters is the wedding day. They were very professional and well prepared so that we did not need to do anything. They did our ceremony (classical guitar) and cocktail hour (keyboard), which worked very well. The songs they learned for our first dance/etc were perfect and their music during dinner was well received and very appropriate.

We couldn’t have asked more when it came to their post-dinner sets. They had everyone up dancing the entire night, filling the dance floor, with a good mix of older stuff early for the parents/relatives and more modern, upbeat stuff later for the younger crowd.

We couldn’t have asked for more, and were ecstatic to hear from so many people that they thought the band was incredible. I could not recommend Groove Alliance more, and you absolutely need to strongly consider them for your wedding/ event.
