Customer Feedback

“A week on, now that you've had a chance to properly reminisce we just wanted to say another MASSIVE THANK YOU to you and Ocean City Groove for being so incredible last Saturday. We were totally blown away and we've heard from so many guests that you were the best wedding band they've ever seen! 

Voices and instruments were brilliant and your energy was fantastic. Exactly what we had been hoping for and more. We loved your interaction with the crowd, especially when the trumpet and saxophone got involved - along with the fish! You can't go wrong! You were all so friendly and it was so brilliant having you as part of our day. We'll never forget it! 

Thank you also for all your flexibility with the change in our first dance song, stage size and playlists. The Connemara at the end was one of the best we've ever experienced! You've been so awesome to work with and we'll definitely be recommending to people for their own events - if they haven't clocked you already”

We wanted to say an absolutely ginormous thank you  for Saturday night.  The band was amazing, truly a full experience with a big sound and excellent lighting rig and when the sax / trumpet joined the crowd everyone loved the interactivity. We had so many compliments about you guys (even though you were competing with a glorious sunset during your first set!) and it was really exactly what we wanted for the evening. Thank you!
