“Velvet Bay Groove were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Playing over 50 songs that spanned decades from the 40s to present day, they kept our reception dancing and singing non-stop all night long. Professional, accommodating, and insanely talented, Velvet Bay Groove transformed our reception into the most incredible night that will never be forgotten by any of those in attendance. Cannot be happier or more impressed with this group of musicians. They come highly highly highly recommended by this ecstatic groom.

“Velvet Bay was FANTASTIC! They learned our first dance (Missing Piece by Vance Joy) and totally came through on our wish for a big party! The dance floor was rockin’ the whole night! They played all genre’s we asked for, which was a lot and all over the music map (oldies, shag, pop/top 40, yacht rock, 80s/90s, soul/funk, and some country). Velvet Bay nailed it! And as a bonus, they were super easy to work with. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a great time for you and your guests!

People are still talking about how great the band was and how they couldn’t leave the dance floor. Velvet Bay helped create my perfect wedding night. Everything was beautiful and the music made the party! I can’t recommend them enough, Velvet Bay was outstanding! Bryson made planning the event so streamlined and checked in on the planning process.

“Velvet Bay not only put on an exceptional show for us, but also were a joy to work with throughout the planning process. They learned new songs for us, including our first dance. I would recommend this band to any bride and we are already thinking of excuses to host another party just to bring Velvet Bay Co back!

“HIRE THIS BAND. The one thing all my guests remember most: Velvet Bay Groove Company. They started the party, kept the party going and didn’t stop. At the end of the night, our guests were chanting “one more song” as if they were at a concert. Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band. Also, the band manager is fantastic at communication, the whole band was friendly and inviting, and the team is extremely patient. Just, hire them.

“Highly recommend if you are looking for a band for your wedding!! My husband and I received compliments the entire night about Velvet Bay, and we continue to get them even after the event. They are excellent, and play an extensive list of music that will get every guest on the dance floor at some point in the night. If you’re looking for a fun night, then you should hire Velvet Bay!!

“BOOK THEM NOW!! Velvet Bay Groove was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding in Charleston, SC. All band members were extremely talented, professional, personable, and kept all ages on the dance floor. We had never heard them before, besides listening to a few youtube videos and they blew us away. 10/10, I couldn’t recommend them enough!

“BOOK THEM! A band was one of our top priorities for our wedding. We wanted a band that could get everyone on the dance floor, sounded great, had good energy and were easy to work with and Velvet Bay was all of that and more. They were very easy to work with, learned a couple of extra songs for us, and blew us away. We heard them warming up during their soundcheck and knew in that quick few moments that we had zero buyers remorse. They successfully got everyone on the dance floor, they had the BEST energy all night long, and crushed every single song... and even gave us an encore! During and post wedding all of our guests + us couldn’t stop talking about how great they were. If we had the chance to do our wedding all over again, we would 100% hands down select Velvet Bay as our wedding band again. Thanks VB for making our wedding so memorable!

“I want to hire them for every event I ever have or even go to!! I mean what better compliment than 3 of our out of state friends asking if they travel as soon as they heard their sets! Another guest heard 3 notes and turned to the table and said “damn they are going to be good”! Not only did velvet bay learn 3 new songs but they CRUSHED every song they sang. Their set list was one hit after the other. We were very picky in terms of what we did not want played and they absolutely understood, listened, and knocked it out of the park. It’s been a few weeks since our wedding and we are STILL getting amazing compliments on the band. The energy and excitement about their music brought everyone in our wedding dancing the entire time! Not only are they incredibly talented but they brought their unique styles of music to each and every song. The band was the most important (besides the guest list) and we couldn’t be happier with our choice!! I cannot imagine a better wedding band so just hope they are still available for your wedding date! You can tell from just these sneak preview pictures from our photographer how much fun and dancing was happening thanks to Velvet Bay!!

“Our wedding was so much fun thanks to Velvet Bay! All of our guests were raving about them and didn’t stop dancing the entire night. They are incredibly talented with so much energy. Bryson, the band manager, was great to work with and very accommodating. We had pretty specific song requests that we wanted included in the set list and Bryson made sure to fit all of those in. We could not have asked for a better band for our wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band!

“Stop what you’re doing and hire this band! Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to put on a show. We had so many guests say “that was the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to!” Bryson was so easy and fun to work with. They allowed us to give detailed input on what songs we did/did not want played and came up with the most perfect playlist for us and our guests. We danced to a Leon Bridges song for our first dance and they totally nailed it. We are already talking about how we want to throw a party and have them play again!

“Velvet Bay were the perfect band for our wedding. They are exceptional communicators and went above and beyond to make our big day special. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

“Bryson and Dan were phenomenal through the entire planning phase leading up to our wedding. Like most couples there are a lot of nerves and anxiety wanting everything to be perfect! Velvet Bay made it so easy to plan and be at ease that the day of, the music would be a hit! And when the big day came they absolutely crushed it! The song selections and timing of every transition was truly world class. I’ve been to many weddings and the dance floor culture is dictated by the band and or DJ. From the first song to the last dance, the band kept everyone’s energy up and I don’t believe there was any moment the entire night that the dance floor wasn’t jam packed. My wife if from New Orleans and we got married in Savannah and Velvet Bay really stepped up and offered a brass section that paraded with us on our second line! Then they continued to blow us away all night making the total band for after dinner a 8 piece band. It’s been several weeks since our big day and all of friends and family cannot stop talking about how awesome our band was. You guys truly made our wedding day a memorable experience. And when I look back on photos and videos of the day the music was there throughout! Highly recommend Velvet Bay for your wedding or event, they are ridiculously talented and worth every cent!

“They are on the pricey side but WOW do you get what you pay for!!! Our wedding guests are still talking about how INCREDIBLE our band was and how it was the best wedding they have ever been to! Dan, Bryan, and the team are wonderful with communication and sound like talented professionals. They played a fun variety of tunes, including some special requests of ours that weren’t on their set list. I wish I got a raw recording of our first dance because they truly knocked it out of the park and sounded like angels. All we can say is THANK YOU and you will not regret having this energetic, fun, professional, and groovy band perform at your event!! <3
