The band did an outstanding job of providing great entertainment for my mom's 80th birthday party.
Groove Nation ROCKED our 25thw Anniversary bash. Dave & crew were insanely entertaining & did a great job of getting the crowd in the Mardi Gras mood! I can't recommend them highly enough!
The Groove Nation Orchestra got everyone dancing at our wedding!!! Quite an accomplishment for having such a diverse age range with our two families combined! Dave was very professional and warm, and played the most beautiful rendition of Thinking Out Loud for our first dance. Highly recommended!
My husband Brian and I hired Groove Nation Orchestra for our wedding last September and we were BLOWN AWAY by their incredible performance. From our first contact with Dave he was professional and accommodating- happy to help us make our big day into a great party. The band kept everyone dancing all night long- from our parents to our college friends. Thanks Dave and the GNO team!
GNO is a talented and very diverse band. I have seen them many times and you will love them!

Since Groove Nation Orchestra is the new kid on the GigSalad block, pardon our lack of reviews here at GigSalad. We're sure that will be changing soon! Till then, here are some testimonials from our past clients found on our other websites:
Besides my wife saying "I DO" , the Groove Nation Orchestra was the biggest reason our wedding was such as success :) They had the ability to learn songs that were not on their playlist. They showed up very early to give themselves time to set up and prepare. The MC was precise and kept the party moving along at a good pace. The band was friendly and very professional. Songs sounded AMAZING and almost identical to the original artists. I can't recall a moment that the dance floor wasn't completely full of guests dancing. With over 150 total guests, their musical demeanor appealed to everyone in attendance. I strongly recommend this band without hesitation.

You guys were AWESOME! Thanks so very much.
-Former Colorado Governor O, Father of the Bride 2015
EVERYONE is RAVING over the Groove Nation Orchestra! We had an international crowd and the band’s extensive song repertoire met everyone’s needs. Dave, from the first contact with Celebration Nation Entertainment, you were professional, prompt, and patient. We interviewed numerous bands and Groove Nation quickly rose to the top of our list. We look forward to having another opportunity to hire you again!
—Alli R, Corporate Event Planner 2013
The Groove Nation Orchestra gave a great performance at our wedding. Dave was terrific at playing the crowd. He kept the band upbeat but understated throughout dinner and then totally rocked the hora! Everyone danced the night away — people are still telling us what a great time they had at our wedding. Groove Nation MADE our event!
—Roxann & Adam F, Bride & Groom 2011
When my clients need live music for an event, I always recommend the Groove Nation Orchestra. They deliver a great night of non-stop dancing and my clients continue to rave about their professionalism. Groove Nation has an incredibly diverse repertoire, they read the audience, anticipate the client’s needs, and keep the dance floor filled all night long. Dave, Kathy and Joe are wonderful entertainers.
—Nancy W, Logistics/Events Manager PSI Denver 2007
I hired Groove Nation for my company holiday party and was knocked out by their professionalism. They not only played great dance music but performed holiday songs that set the mood for the party. They sounded so good that I hired them again for my wedding! Highly Recommended.

Groove Nation Orchestra - One Nation - Under a Groove
Groove Nation requires 2 hours for early setup - even though we often are done in 1 1/2 hours!
We have 2 state of the art digital PA systems. One for audiences of 100 or less. One for audiences of up to 350. Because they are digital, we have been dialing them in for over 2 years. This means no annoying "CHECK 1-2-3" soundchecks! We have even set up silently behind a curtain with a ceremony being performed on the other side lol....
Our sound mix is repeatable gig after gig. Just take a listen to our live videos - they were recorded direct from our board. We'll sound just like that (only better) at your event!
We carry a very low-profile set of LED lighting that sufficently illuminates the band. No giant trees of spotlights, no lasers, no fog or disco balls. We try to keep our sound and lights as minimal impact to your party as possible.
We carry no staging. Nor do we require one. We do require a solid and level surface to perform on. ie: You can't set up a drumset on grass, flagstones, a hill etc... Our area or stage requirements vary depending on band size. While we've set up in some pretty crazy settings, 8x12 is our minimum up to 16x24 for max.
If you have any further thoughts or questions please don't hesitate to ask! You can always call Dave at (phone number hidden) or email ddemusic(link hidden) for more answers!
