Of course. If you want to avoid creating gaps in the day or disturbing the ambience if everything is in the same room, we can help find a suitable time for your act to arrive and set up.

Will you play our First Dance Live?

Yes, wherever possible! Craig will learn your first dance song providing enough prior notice is given and the song is within his style.

Boring (but useful) bits:

As standard with all bookings through the Groove, you'll have unlimited opportunities for consultation with our team of dedicated wedding and event planners. You can also chat directly with your act to discuss musical choices and specific logistics for the day of your booking.

To confirm and book, you'll initially receive confirmation that the guys are available on your date following your enquiry. On the same email, you'll also be sent a booking form which you can fill in to populate our system with information regarding your day. You'll then receive a deposit invoice for 20% to secure the bands attendance and complete your booking. Following both these steps, you'll get a confirmation pack with a link to book a meeting with one of our dedicated entertainment planners, some checklists and ideas of musical options to think about, and the next steps involved in your booking. It really is that simple.
