June 30, 2025Groove N Motion Rocks!
Groove N Motion is the best! We heard them at a friend’s wedding in Telluride and couldn’t stop talking about how great they were after the wedding. Once we began planning our big day, I knew immediately that they were the choice. They exceeded all of our expectations. Scott Handler was incredibly communicative and easy to work with in the months prior to our wedding. He was extremely flexible on transportation and lodging for the band which made our lives a lot easier. They have a massive list of songs that they can play and will work with you to create the perfect set list. The band also went out of their way to learn songs for our dances. They crushed it at our wedding and had the dance floor full the entire night. Guests of all ages loved their music and everyone I have talked to has said how great they were. We are extremely grateful that they played at our wedding and can’t recommend Groove N Motion highly enough!

September 16, 2025Unbelievable band!
This band is no joke!! Scott was so easy to work with and so accommodating. They learned 7 new songs for us and made our event feel super customized. Every guest at our wedding commented on how this band blew them away. They can truly do it all and bring so much energy to the stage. I cannot recommend this band enough for your event!! The Rocky Mountain horns are elite!!

August 1, 2025Blew us away!
Scott and the GnM team were the perfect band for our Rocky Mountain wedding! Scott (lead) was extremely communicative, and their song list was expansive. They were able to play everything that we were looking for (heavy yacht rock, 70s, 80s). And the horns brought everything together! They are a big band (15 pieces) and if you are looking for a band in CO that brings a little bit of everything and that can play every type of sound - look no further!

July 10, 2025Cocktail hour jazz trio was Unreal!
GnM was the BEST choice possible to get our guests in a good mood for our evening cocktail hour! After a more traditional Indian Hindu ceremony, I wanted an 80s/90s upbeat, summery feel and chose GnM's jazz trio with piano, bass, and drums. They created such a fun atmosphere and stayed extra to accommodate our schedule running behind. Scott was such a pleasure to work with and all the guests loved the vibes!! We highly recommend them! - Love, Riya & Chris
