Absolutely Amazing!

I could not recommend GrooveManuva enough. Our wedding was so much fun because of them. The dance floor for filled. Guests enjoyed the acoustic live set in the day and our live first dance was stunning (and definitely not because of our awkward dancing but because of the performance). The live set was a mix of classics and modern music and everybody from young to old commented on how good the entertainment was.

If you are looking for a band/DJ then do it! Contact Mitch and his team, they are fantastic!

The best band!!

The best wedding band!!! Groove Manuva performed at our wedding last Saturday and we cannot recommend enough. They sounded amazing and even learnt our slightly unique first dance song! Each band member was friendly and fun, they set up in a timely manner and were easily contactable in the build up. They then turned into a DJ whereby they were happy to take requests from all our wedding guests all night long! I cannot recommend enough and wish I had a reason/event to book them again!!🥂🥂

Fantastic evening entertainment!

From start to finish, Groove Manuva were an absolute dream to work with. Not only were they a really talented bunch of musicians, they were incredibly helpful and friendly when it came to organising our event. We were a little nervous about finding a band for our wedding, but they couldn't have made it easier for us. They really got the crowd going and everyone was having an absolute blast - AND they played my all time favourite songs! We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks again Groove Manuva for making our special day even better!

Brilliant band

Huge thanks to the band who played at our wedding in September at Rudby Hall! They were great from start to finish. They covered our first dance brilliantly and from then on the dance floor was full! The band knew exactly how to get the party going and we didn’t want it to end! All of our guests have commented on how much they loved the band too! Thank you! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a band for their wedding or other event!

Unforgettable band!

We booked Groove Manuva for our wedding at Woolas Barn. They were absolutely fantastic. Being a musician myself I can highly recommend Groove Manuva. They were professional, friendly, and played all the songs you’d want to hear at your wedding. Do not hesitate to book these guys! One of our friends is getting married in September and they booked Groove Manuva because they saw them at our wedding!!

Absolutely outstanding

Well, early hours after my wedding party and I can't sleep because of the adrenaline coursing through my body.
Mitch and the band were absolutely outstanding, and every one of our 170 guests commented on how incredible they were. From the first to the last song, including an impeccable performance for our first dance, my beautiful wife and I can't thank them enough.
Thank you so much guys, a superb night celebrating our wedding, made even better by your performance, words just can't give you enough credit.............absolutely superb 👏👏👏👏👏
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
