Maria Amato wedding at Masseria Salamina, Puglia, Italy

We got married September at Masseria Salamina in Fasano (Puglia), and we’re SO glad we went with The Groove Gala for all of our wedding festivities! Through the “all-in” package, the band was able to play through the ceremony, aperitivo, and reception. The dance party was the hit of the night! All of our guests continue to talk to us about how great the band was, and how it was “the best band they’ve ever experienced at a wedding” and how fun our dance party was. The Groove Gala did not stop! And once they stopped, we were able to have the DJ play some highly requested songs. As Americans, who love to get down on the dance floor, it was truly the best of both worlds when you think of a great wedding reception! I highly recommend The Groove Gala if you want a party that will be memorable to you as a couple, and to your guests. People are still talking about them, and we’re so glad we booked them! Cherry on top of our perfect Italian wedding.

September 2025

Kate Morley wedding in Monticiano, Italy

The Groove Gala brought the party to the party. They were great to work with during the planning stages and quickly answered all of our questions and concerns. We chose the Extra Love package. This Package provided music during cocktails, a party train and an 8- piece live show with DJ services. The quality of the music was amazing. They accommodated all of our special requests and took the pressure off of us. Amazing voices during the cocktails, creating a dream-like Italian garden party. The party train was a perfect way to start the after-dinner party. Our guests are still talking about the band!!! From beginning until end, they made the enjoyment of our guests the priority. We highly recommend The Groove Gala.

July 2025

Rachael Clarke wedding at Casale Doria Pamphilj, Rome

We got married in Casale Doria Pamphilj and were so excited to have The Groove Gala as our musical entertainment for two nights. We had seen clips of them on social media before and they looked absolutely amazing! We got the “extra love” package for our wedding day and had the acoustic duo for our pizza party. A completely jam-packed dance floor for the entire night tells you all you need to know! They exceeded our expectations and provided the best entertainment that our friends and family are still talking about weeks later! The party train to take people from dinner into the dance floor was genius and the dance offs they orchestrated were incredible. Their voices and the sheer talent of all the musicians were honestly outstanding! We can’t recommend them highly enough for any couple getting married in Italy! We wish we could enjoy it all over again!

Rebecca Wilson wedding at Borgo Di Tragliata, Rome, Italy

One of the best decisions we made in the whole planning process was booking The Groove Gala!! Not only do they put on a full interactive performance but their expertise really shows in making sure they are playing the songs that they know will get your guests dancing all night long. We had booked them for the after dinner party and we booked the add on of the party train and if you are contemplating this just do it, it made the move from dinner to party absolutely seamless and was something so different to anything our guests had seen before it was definitely my highlight from them! Our only complaint is we couldn’t bring them home for future events in Ireland! The whole process of booking them was made so easy, nothing was too much trouble for them. So if you're thinking of booking them just do it, you won't be disappointed – they truly are the best! Rebecca & Gavin.

Sinead Collins wedding at Borgo Di Tragliata, Rome, Italy

We had Groove Gala for the ‘All in’ package from aperitifs and to say they went above and beyond is an understatement. They had the place hopping. Our highlight was the train – if you are booking an Italian wedding band this is a must have for your wedding!! Also their interactions during the after dark dance was exceptional, there was nobody sitting in their seats. Best band I have ever heard. There was a game of best dancer between two guests that the Bride & Groom chose and this was so entertaining. We were all up in the stitches. Our guests are going to be talking about the Groove Gala forever and we feel so honoured to have had them as our wedding band!
