Information for Weddings The Grooves specialize in wedding receptions and can make your special day a smashing success! We emcee for all events at the reception including announcing of bride and groom, best man toast, bouquet and garter toss, cutting of the cake and any special events you may have planned. If all guests will be eating dinner during our first set, we will play some nice mellow music that people can dance to if they prefer, but it won’t be too loud so that guests can still eat and converse comfortably. We play over a four hour period, which consists of three one hour sets with two half hour breaks during which you will be doing various wedding activities (cutting cake, bouquet toss, etc.). We also can play overtime if desired. We DJ music on our breaks as well, to keep the party momentum going. We have over 250 songs that we can choose from, to match any style to whatever crowd we are playing for which is a much larger selection than most wedding bands have. We play all styles, including standards for the older folks (Sinatra, Nat King Cole, etc.), Motown, Disco, oldies, rock, current dance, country if the crowd is into it, Eighties, and Nineties to the new millennium changing styles to please the crowd and keep the dance floor packed all night. We can wear tuxedos or add hilarious costumes later in the night to guarantee an outrageous extravaganza at your reception! For pricing and booking call Ron at 512-507-0589 or Email Us

The Grooves Band References

Hi, Ron.
Just wanted to tell you guys what a great time everyone had at the birthday party on May 25th. I got a zillion compliments on the band and already have requests from company employees wanting you all to play for our Christmas party in December! You guys are just GREAT; from your attire, to the great song selection, to the awesome voices of the girls (and guys), to the interaction with the crowd, to the overall sound of the band.....................you guys just really "MADE" the party. I can't compliment you all enough. You can most definitely count on me for any type of referral, not that you'd ever need one!!

Definitely hope to see you all again soon...............hopefully in December!

Dear Ron and the Grooves, Thank you so much for your outstanding and energetic performance at our August 7th, 2005 wedding! When guests describe our wedding, they use the word "magic" a lot - and your talent and enthusiasm contributed and helped create that magic. We all had the most fun dancing to your songs and really cutting loose - you infused the room with so much Energy and excitement! You made the reception meaningful, memorable and lots of fun! we truly appreciated your professionalism too. You impressed us and our guests so much! Thanks for such a magnificent time! With much gratitude, Sarah and Jorge

Hi Ron,

Thanks to you and all of The Grooves for Saturday night. You rocked! All of our guests loved the music and as you could tell, had a wonderful time. We appreciate your talent and all you did to make the reception a huge success.

Renee Barnes

Ron, I want you and the other band members to know how much our guests and family enjoyed your music at Mollie and Glenn’s wedding at Barr Mansion . So many people have commented on how great you all sounded. And another thing that has come up several times is that, although the music was jamming, people could carry on a conversation without having to scream to be heard. It really could not have been more perfect. Please be assured that we will happily recommend you to everyone, and as we have two more daughters to marry off, expect to hear from us in the future. Again, thank you. Bonnie Flynt

Here’s a referral letter from a bride that we played for that was forwarded to me:

Hi Rachel,

The Grooves were great! They were talented and professional. Ron was always easy to contact by phone or email and returned either type of message promptly. They were on time to set up and to begin the music for the reception. Their breaks were not excessive in number or length of time and they DJ'd music during the breaks. Ron was responsive to our personal preference requests regarding lighting, play list, etc. We had great comments from our guests about them. The Grooves are a talented, fun band who perform a good variety of music and they really kept the party going!!! I highly recommend them. Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions.

Renee

Ron, Thank you so much for making our reception the party of the century! Your band was fabulous, and as you saw all our family and friends were cutting a rug all night long! Everyone in your band is so talented, and we loved your choices of music. I don’t think the evening could have been more successful. I will definitely recommend you guys to all my friends who are getting married. Thanks again, and let me know if you need to use me as a reference. Take care, Bill Reese

Ron,

I can’t express how much we all loved your band at our reception at Barton Creek Country Club! Your band was the secret to the success of our party. I haven’t seen my mom and dad dance like that in years! All your band members were so polite and professional. Your vocalists had the most wonderful voices! Your choice of music couldn’t have been more perfect! Please tell the other members of your band how much we enjoyed them!

Sincerely,

Kim Edwards

Ron and The Grooves, Super! Wonderful! Excellent! Every superlative adjective in the dictionary pertains to your wonderful sound. Thank you for being a key part of the Saturday, March 10 wedding of Kathryn Smith and Nicholas Tylutki. You were really super! I had been so worried that we were only having 4 of the 7 Grooves, but I must say that the four of you sounded like a full group. Ron, you were particularly helpful to me by setting up a microphone for the vocalist and helping me walk through the schedule of events prior to the wedding. I didn't get a chance to say thank you in person, but please know that we will do our best to promote The Grooves in the future. Patricia Smith

Dear Ron,

I would like to thank you and your band for a wonderful time at my daughter's wedding on Saturday. Everyone enjoyed you so much. My daughter's main vision for her wedding was a great band, a large dance floor, and everyone up dancing. Around 11:00 that night she came up to me and said, "This is exactly the wedding I wanted." As I looked around there were only empty seats because everyone was dancing, from the 7 year old ring bearer to my 87 year old dad. Thank you very much.

Dear Ron and the Grooves,

Your band, lead male and female singers were incredible!!!!

Hi Ron,
Just wanted to send you a quick note and thank you again for such a great performance Saturday night! I especially appreciate you all being so kind as to sing us one more song after the raffle. You all really went above and beyond and everyone raved about how fantastic the music was! Thanks to the whole group for making our party a huge success.

Steph

Hi Ron!

Well, it is over and it was a huge success and your group/band contributed to that success immensely!
Everyone there, yes from my 21 month grand daughter who never seem to leave the dance floor to Granny , agrees your band was the best!
We appreciate all your hard work and efforts and hope that we made you guys and gals as comfortable and welcome as you made us.
Best of luck and tell anyone to call any of the 223 people who where there and you will get nothing but GOOD!!!!!!

David Bowers

Guys, you were the best. What a fun evening you provided for Tom and I and our guests. It was such a pleasure working with you and we were so pleased with the music.

If you ever need a reference, please do not hesitate to let us know. I hope to see you soon. Will you be playing in Houston again? I am sure you probably play for mostly private parties, but I will keep my ears open for places who do hire bands on weekends.

Thanks again for everything. I hope you got some pictures from the photographer.

Nancy Warren

Hi Grooves! You all were fantastic for the Catlin wedding this week-end in Bandera!! Thanks so much – I look forward to booking you again soon !

Regards,

Dorothy Lackey
Wedding Coordinator

Hello Ron,
You and your band are THE BEST!!! We had soooo much fun dancing. I am a strong believer that the entertainment at a party determines whether or not the party is a success or a flop. The Peck/Baird wedding reception was a phenomenal success!

Deborah Chase

Hi Ron!

You guys did an awesome job at the wedding and just wanted to say thanks again for the great time!

Katy Monson

Here's a response to a booking agent asking our party client how The Grooves show was:

Hi Susie!
Everything was perfect. The Grooves sounded great and even handled a few curve balls seamlessly. All our guests were talking about how great the band was. We are definitely passing their name along. We danced for hours and did not want the night to end. Thanks for everything!

Hillary Holmes

....and another great response to the grooves when another agent asked the client how the show was:

The Grooves were absoutely wonderful. We had such a great time and I can't tell you how many compliments we have received saying it was one of the best weddings people had ever been to. Most people were saying that they never dance, yet with our band they just couldn't help themselves. Ron and the Grooves were so great I will definitely pass their name along to anyone who needs a rockin' band at any event. Thanks for checking with us and have a great day!

Sincerely,

Adrian Bean

Dear Ken,

Just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for your help in finding the Grooves Band. They were really great and everyone kept saying how fabulous they were. The dance floor was hardly empty all night. They really made Dee's and my reception so fun, and I think they kept playing for the "fans" after we departed. They were a great talent and I am still hearing all the compliments.

Your professionalism and input made the planning so easy and I just appreciate your help. I will certainly refer you to my friends, as
well as the band themselves!

Thank you again, Ken and many blessings to you! Take care!

All the best,
Jessica Cole Buchanan

Ron,

I have been meaning to write you to say – THANK YOU so much for the wonderful job you guys did at our wedding! You were a hit! You kept everyone on the dance floor until the bitter end. We had such a great time that night, and your band played a big part in the fun! Thank you!

Marwah Fawcett

You guys were GREAT!!!!! Everyone said it was some of the best dance music they had ever heard. One of our friends is needing a band for a fundraiser. She works for the hospital. I told her to contact you . Thanks again for making the evening the best ever. Please use me for a reference if you wish,
D avid Kruger

Ron,
Just a note to let you know how much you all were a "smash" at my daughter's wedding reception (Gibbs) last weekend here in Ft. Worth.

Just to let you know how much we enjoyed you, are you available for another function 9-01-07 in Dallas? It would be a fraternity alumni party that I'm involved in ( in the planning stages at present). Let me know and again great job.
