Davey M. Sent on 12/27/2023The absolute best!
I'm a professional musician and I own a nationally acclaimed award-winning music venue. My now wife is a wedding and events coordinator. For any band we were going to hire, the stakes were definitely going to be high. I have a lot of friends in really great bands but we decided to stay away from using our friends and take a chance on a band we didn't know that lived in the area where we were having our wedding. My wife got ahold of the East Coast Entertainment Booking Agency which her company often uses for weddings where we live. I gave her a price range and a description of what I felt we needed. Soon after I was sent a list of bands from the company and I, of course, was EXTREMELY picky. I also had to consider a list of songs that could cover everyone from the younger crowd on up to the relatives who were in their 90s. As I browsed down the list of bands some would seem corny, or had singers that I felt were trying too hard, or singers I just plain didn't like, but as I got further down, I put on Irresistible Groove's promo video and I knew that I found what I was looking for! To me, the price was great and their song list had everything we could have wanted for our wedding! I really loved the singer's voice. At the same time, in fulfilling such a vast song list, other people in the band could also take the lead on singing. Some would also switch to different instruments so that they could seamlessly nail down the many different sounds and styles of such a vast song list authentically. My reception entertainment was now covered! Yay!!! However... I still needed some form of entertainment for my cocktail party which was to take place before that. I was looking for a very dynamic Jazz Trio. Sure enough, they assured me they could do that with some of their members and the add-on price to make that happen was fantastic! Fast forward to the wedding... The Jazz trio started right after our ceremony and were completely legit!! They had no music tablets or sheets in front of them anywhere and they were an excellent fit for the cocktail party vibe! I knew with the way these guys could swing some Jazz that they were truly top-level pro musicians! Soon after the cocktail party we walked in as Mr. and Mrs. for our first dance at the reception which the band executed perfectly. Once dinner was over, the lights went down and they instantly brought the party to life!! They literally NEVER stopped playing and everything they did musically was amazing!! It was a ball of energy from start to finish! Their sound levels we're great! (That's a big thing for me and my Mom as well) They we're so accommodating with anything I asked of them and I honestly could not have found a better, more professional band for my wedding! They completely blew my expectations away!! I am now a fan for life and I'll be recommending them to everyone I know! BOOK THEM!!! You'll be glad you did! -

Best wedding band ever!
WOW! I don't even know where to begin with a review for Irresistible Groove... This band is incredible and has it all! Music is so important to us and we were blown away by Lee and the members of the band. Their setlist variety is huge and they are willing to expand for special requests. When we came to them with an idea for a New Orleans style exit Lee was excited to help us fulfill all our wedding dreams. We had guests dancing that have NEVER been on the dance floor and one guest literally stood there all night and filmed them because he 'had to show everyone how great they were'. I could cry thinking about how perfect our night way and IG was a huge contributor to that. They are fun, professional, communicative and most importantly truly want all your wedding dreams to come true. We want to get married again just to hire this amazing band. -

Irresistible Groove was an amazing choice for our wedding band! We still have guests raving about them and we have been married for a month! They were so great that our venue staff were all dancing behind the bars and we had a full dance floor the entire night! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun night of dancing & a wide range of songs/vocals! -

This band is hands down the best wedding band i’ve ever heard. They know exactly how to read the room and play what the crowd wants to head. The manager is super nice and timely with his responses and flexible with whatever you want. Everyone at our wedding was raving about how amazing they were and one guest even booked them for an event the next weekend on the spot. I would book this band over and over again without a second thought. -

Best band ever!
Irresistible Groove absolutely made our reception! They were so easy to work with leading up to the big day and were flexible with us when we wanted to add an instrument in and change the footprint of the band. They also agreed to learn our first dance song and Mother/Groom dance song, and it was so much better to have them perform the songs than to play the recording. They played a great variety of music and kept the party going. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a band! -

Without a doubt, this band gets all 5 stars! They learned our first dance song and absolutely crushed it! We've continued to get messages from all our friends and family about how much fun and amazing the band was throughout the entire night. My brother, when he gets married, plans to hire them as they are a guaranteed favorite part of any wedding night!
Thank you again to the whole team, and especially Lee, for making our wedding so great!
Thanks,
Bennett and Rawls -

Jackie H. Sent on 11/23/2021Hands down the best band ever!!
Irresistible Groove made our wedding UNFORGETTABLE. They brought the best energy all night long and didn't even take a break! Our guests are still raving about what a great time they had and it speaks for itself when the entire wedding is on the dance floor all night long! Lee reached out ahead of the wedding to make sure they could learn our first dance song and understand the types of music we wanted played and with very little direction they absolutely crushed it! The energy all night was next-level and THEIR VOICES AND ARTISTRY!!!! It was insane - you never knew a band was covering these Prince, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder songs. We are still in awe and cannot say enough of a thank you for them making our special night so memorable. -

After endlessly scouring the internet for wedding bands, we decided on Irresistible Groove for our daughter's wedding. Based on their promotional videos, we felt pretty certain they would be a good fit for our crowd but as we have experienced in the past, it's really hard to know how a band will perform until you actually see them live. I'm struggling to find the words that could possibly describe their talent but all I can say is the minute they started playing everyone was BLOWN AWAY!! Literally, our guests stopped dead in their tracks with their mouths open looking at each other in disbelief. They were SO GOOD! Irresistible Groove is not your average "wedding band." Lee, the band leader and saxophonist, and the entire band are all extraordinary musicians not to mention really nice guys. There is not one weak link in the group and having several musicians and passionate music lovers as guests at the wedding, this was not an easy crowd to please. Everyone was so awestruck that at times our event felt more like a concert than a wedding reception! Lee and the band did an equally amazing job of emceeing the evening, intuitively knowing when to quietly slip into the background, and when to get everyone up dancing and having fun!! Simply remarkable. Clearly, I've gone from that person who rarely writes a review to gushing about Irresistible Groove but they are worthy of every word! Thank you again, Lee. You and the band made our event memorable and for that we are grateful. -

Best… reception…. band…. ever.
Seriously. From the moment they played the first note, Irresistible Groove had the dance floor overflowing with guests. They were absolutely the perfect choice for our wedding celebration!

Wow! Irresistible Groove lived up to their 5-star ratings! There are usually two camps when it comes to music for a wedding reception = DJ vs Live Band. The DJ crowd usually points to the fact bands can't play the music we want to dance to, etc. Well, there is nothing like a live band and after the night was over, the DJ crowd were converts to live bands! These guys were the best! They had a long song list we could select from, and even if it wasn't on the list, they still learned and played the songs we requested (for father/daughter dance, etc.) We had an eclectic group of people at our reception...they never left the dance floor and were all singing word for word. IG new the crowd well and served up a great night!
Lee was great and very welcoming and made it easy for us to contract and not worry about anything. They also helped with the actual ceremony playing background music, etc.
Highly recommended!!! -

Katy C. Sent on 09/23/2020Incredible Band!
Irresistible Groove is hands down the absolute BEST wedding band! My husband and I had the night of our dreams and Irresistible Groove played a huge part in that. They performed our first dance, father/daughter and mother/son songs, classic hits and countless songs that are popular today. They had everyone dancing! I literally danced the entire reception and our guests continue to comment on how incredible the band was. Irresistible Groove keeps the party going with their high energy and immense talent. They are so easy to work with and made our wedding a night to remember. You will not regret booking Irresistible Groove! -

Our original wedding date was 2020 and pushed a year due to COVID. The Irresistible Groove was amazing and flexible during this process. Working with Lee in planning was tremendous. They were professional & experienced. They did a perfect mix of songs from different periods to cater to all guests. I have nothing but 100% positive things to say about them - for days after the wedding I had guests complimenting the band for keeping the energy up and making our night everything we had hoped for. Our only regret is not being able to have them go another hour due to outdoor noise ordinances! -

Best band ever! And i've attended a lot of events!
I am the father of the bride and spent a lot of time, along with my wife and the bride and groom, in looking for the perfect band for our daughter’s wedding. When we found and heard “Irresistible Groove”, we knew we didn’t need to look any further. Their sound and recommendations said it all. The band leader, Lee, was very responsive and immediately got back to me to answer questions or to talk about the wedding and music we envisioned; even when I contacted him multiple times to go over details, he was patient and thoughtful. He was so responsive, he even texted and attempted to call me when stranded overseas on a vacation. The wedding was November 2, 2019 in Blowing Rock, NC. The band was extremely professional and friendly, arrived early, overcame some logistical issues that arose at the venue, and were very accommodating. A duo from the band, the acoustic guitar and the saxophone musicians, played the ceremony music, and a duo of the acoustic guitar and bass played the cocktail music. They were excellent and exactly what we wanted! The seven-member band played the reception and were fantastic. They got everyone into the party mood and out on the dance floor. Their playlist was extensive and cross many styles of music, and they accommodated our song requests that had memories for the bride and groom, and the bride’s parents. Their music and vocals were outstanding, and we got so many complements from the guests who stated that they were the best band they had heard at a wedding or other event. I have attended a lot of weddings and other events and can confirm how good they are. My wife and I highly recommend them for any event, whether a wedding or just an event with good music and fun. You made the reception the best and brought big smiles to the bride and groom! Thank you all for making it a great night, in the North Carolina mountains, with a clear sky and cold temperatures, and even fireworks at the cake cutting. We are looking forward to attending another event open to the public to see you perform again!!!! -

Elizabeth T. Sent on 01/05/2020You want energy? You got it!
I will admit that I did not want a band, but my parents insisted on having on to really increase the energy of the reception. I am so glad we went with this group! They were excellent MCs during the "administrative" stuff (intros, toasts, first dances). They let us use canned music for the first dances, which was important to us. They played great soft music during dinner and then started the party right when we wanted them to with specially requested songs. Everyone was up on the dance floor all night, and they really fed into the crowd. Thanks for helping us make our day so special! -

The music was a great mix of motown / beach music and today's hits, which is exactly what we were looking for! They were lively and energetic and such a great part of our reception!!
