What
People Say
"An
amazing band - this is the third time we have used them. They
never fail to get everyone dancing from start to finish - thank
you. And a nicer bunch you couldn't hope to meet."
Amanda Robinson, summer ball, Hertfordshire, June 2005
"We
just wanted to say a big thank you for playing such fantastic
music at our wedding. We had lots of comments about the fact that
it was the best wedding band that people had ever heard and I
think that the fact that the dance floor was never empty was testament
to that! Obviously if you ever need a singer, I'm always available
for a Madonna rendition!"
Alison Lomax, wedding reception, Surrey, May 2005
"I
was thrilled with the quality of their performance, and the female
lead singer has a great voice. Everyone at the party was up bopping,
which is a testament to their excellent and professional performance
the party was a huge success and I would have no hesitation in
booking them again."
Jacquie Rayment, party, Warwickshire, November 2004
"The
Groove Factory are a huge credit to Function Junction, they really
made the evening - we all went wild
we all could have stayed
dancing all night long to this high quality band. They were also
a good set of people to have around us on our special night -
good sense of humour! Extremely up-together, professional band
- we would definitely book again."
Mark Shaw, wedding reception, Hampshire, July 2002
"Words
cannot express my appreciation to you for providing The Groove
Factory for my recent wedding, but 'thank you' is a good start!
The band really were fantastic and so many people commented on
how wonderful they were, the non-stop packed dance floor and shouts
of 'encore' was also a big indication."
Natalie Spong, wedding reception, central London, September 2001
