WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“I have worked with and seen The 1999 on multiple occasions and they are amazing! Not only are they fun, but they are also professional. They engage, keep the energy up and really know how to pick songs that aren’t the same cover band playlist. The band is tight while still being fun and energetic. They cover every genre and will surprise even those of us that have seen it all. If you have a club, hire them. If you’re having an event, hire them. If you’re going out and they are playing at a club, GO SEE THEM! You will not be disappointed!”

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Maybe most importantly to me, we had heard from our other vendors AHEAD of our wedding date to tell us how excited they were to work with the 1999 based on both past experiences and their reputation in the industry. How they treated not only us, but their relationship with our venue and other vendors spoke volumes to me about who they were as a group. We wanted most of all our wedding to overwhelmingly feel like a gathering of our closest friends and The 1999 fit right into that mold. Couldn’t recommend enough hiring the 1999 for your wedding.”

–  Kelsey & Matt

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“If you’ve found this review, book The 1999 for your wedding or event. If you don’t, you’ll 100% regret it. They are some of the most talented individuals we’ve ever met. They listen, and advise, but most of all are passionate about what they do. Our wedding day was beyond perfect but The 1999 one made it EPIC. From the ceremony to the acoustic cocktail hour to the reception, The 1999 brought their talent, passion, and expertise with them throughout the entire day. You won’t have to look any further because if you want it all, The 1999 is meant for you.”

–  Shelby & Mike

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Our night flowed perfectly because of their planning and all the secret stuff they did in the background to make it work. We asked them for 3 custom song edits (processional, first dance and mother-son dance) and he offered up a few options and which one he thought could work best. These guys are amazing. My friends could not stop talking about how great the band was; I have shy, older family members and they somehow were able to get them onto the dance floor. These guys are incredibly talented and passionate. All around amazing.”

–  Andrea & Greg

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“A month later, we still have friends and family raving about how amazing the music was. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without The 1999 – they truly made the party! If you are thinking of booking them for your wedding – don’t wait!”

–  Kaitlyn & Jake

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“The combination of band and DJ creates seamless transitions throughout the night from the ceremony right through the reception. Our guests were all asking us about The 1999 and on the dance floor all night. They even made a custom track for my dance with my dad. We know that choosing the right wedding entertainment is so important and the 1999 is worth every penny! Book them! Follow them on Instagram! 11/10 from us!”

–  Brianna & Sam

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“They certainly know how to rock the crowd! We were first introduced to Groove Authority at my cousin’s wedding in Sept of 2017, where they were the band. My fiance and I immediately decided that we must have them at our own wedding. And our decision certainly did not disappoint. We asked them to learn our first dance song, which really made it “ours”. It was perfect. To top it off, even the guests loved them as well. All night, during the reception, and for the last few weeks, whenever someone talks about the wedding, they mention how amazing the band was, how the music selection was perfect, and how it made the reception that much better. We cannot recommend Groove Authority enough and we would hire them a thousand times over again.”

– Rebecca T.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Hands-down the absolute best band ever! We had looked at a lot of bands before deciding on Groove Authority and they were even better than I imagined. So incredible to work with to make sure we got everything we needed from the entrances to the last song of the night. They will learn a couple of songs for you, which was helpful for some of the first dances. You could tell every member of the band enjoyed being there, which made all the guests love them even more. I couldn’t tell you how many guests told me it was the best band they’ve heard at a wedding. You 100% want Groove Authority as your wedding band.“

– Nicole C.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“We booked Groove Authority for our wedding in October. My husband and I threw around the idea of getting a DJ or a band and I am glad we went with a band, with this band! They had everyone on the dance floor dancing and they even let my husband and his friends come up and sing. Still, everyone keeps telling us how great the band was at our wedding. They played a mix of all kinds of music. Hands down the best band for weddings! Thank you, Groove Authority.”

– Cristine L.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Amazing, Incredible, Fabulous!!! Groove Authority made our wedding a celebration to remember. If you’re looking for a wedding band who will get every single person on the dance floor, look no further. Paul was easy to work with and very accessible. Every musician in the band exuded talent and enthusiasm. We had hundreds of song choices to pick from and our guests danced the entire wedding. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of Groove Authority for our wedding band!”

– Joie E.

“WOW! What a great band! Our daughter and her fiancé chose The Party Factor for their wedding at the Fairmont Copley Plaza after hearing them at one of their showcases. Lisa and Danny told me they were a great band, but I didn’t realize just how great until the day of the wedding. Rick, the bandleader, and the drummer are extremely responsive and easy to work with. The band members are an amazing, well-trained, talented group of musicians and singers. We used the keyboard player during the ceremony for classical music, added a sax during the cocktail hour to “jazz it up” and rocked the house with the full band during the reception. They can play it all!! As a very happy mother of the bride, I say if you want a fun, lively wedding, with a professional group of musicians, don’t think twice about hiring The Party Factor!!”

– Lori W.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“The Party Factor should be the only option when it comes to hiring a band for your wedding. They are extremely professional, accommodating, and talented…On the day of our wedding, a few of the band members played jazz for our cocktail hour, one member emceed the entire event, and the band as a whole absolutely crushed it throughout the rest of the night. The emcee did an outstanding job introducing everyone and kept the night flowing. Most importantly, the dance floor was packed the entire night. The Party Factor does a great job reading the crowd, choosing songs from their expansive song list, and bringing the energy…From our perspective, it was a huge highlight of our amazing wedding, we couldn’t be happier. Skip the DJ and spend the extra money to get The Party Factor, they are 100% worth it.“

– Tim & Brie M.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“On behalf of Andrew and myself I want to thank you and the entire band for the most incredible and unforgettable experience! We absolutely loved every second of music that was provided. You guys are absolutely fantastic. So many of our guests have been raving about you and how they had the best time dancing. Andy and I agree that you and the rest of the band members are the reason why our wedding was absolutely perfect and a dream come true! Thank you for going above and beyond the entire night. The memory of us singing on our wedding night will last a lifetime. Please know that The Party Factor is and will always be our favorite band!”

– Mr. & Mrs. Gilmore

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Want to thank the band once again for fabulous music for Katie and Ben’s wedding. I don’t ever recall being at a wedding where the dance floor was full the whole evening. We have been to 16 weddings in the last 3 and a half years! We continue to get texts and emails from our guests who traveled from all parts of the country just raving about how great the band was. When Mary Ellen and I heard your first song a year ago in Somerville, we knew this was the band we wanted. You didn’t prove us wrong. The band, caterer, and venue provided for a perfect wedding for Katie and Ben. Thanks again.“

– Paul H.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“We loved Party Factor! They had a great energy, got everyone on the dance floor, and interacted with the crowd perfectly. We got so many compliments on the band, one of my friends even told me he’s now questioning their decision to hire a DJ for his upcoming wedding after seeing Party Factor at ours. The band was also flexible to our interests and requests – we have dreamed of a long Horah (Jewish circle dance), and boy did they deliver! Thanks, Party Factor“

– Ivy & Ben

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“The Party Factor was the highlight of our wedding. People still are talking about them. They catered to young and old, had literally everyone dancing, and they might have had an even better time than we did. Rick was a breeze in the planning process, totally flexible even up to the day of the wedding. There was such enthusiasm, and SO much talent, it’s hard to fail with that combination. I’d recommend the Party Factor to anyone.”

– Steve F.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Hiring the Party Factor to play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. They were so easy to work with and learned a specific song to perfection for our first dance. Not a single person remained in their seat throughout our reception and we received so many rave reviews about the music throughout the night. We wouldn’t change a single thing about their performance and would recommend them to anyone looking to make their wedding or event the time of their lives. Thanks again for being a part of our night. Greg and I continue to reflect on how you guys transformed our wedding!”

– Nicole & Greg H.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“The Party Factor performed at our 9/15/18 wedding and they were FANTASTIC. I had listened to the videos online, but being in person was an entirely different experience. Every single guest commented on how amazing the band was. I am just so incredibly glad that we hired The Party Factor. Importantly, Rick was also very easy to work with, and helped make our wedding vision come true. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing The Party Factor is — worth every penny.”

– Ali & Martin B.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“We hired the Party Factor for our wedding at the Seacoast Science Center on the ocean in Rye, NH. Having never hired a band before, we weren’t quite sure of the process, but Paul and Rick were terrific to work with and made it easy for us. The Band looked great, sounded great and really made the Party! Everybody was on the dance floor! They even learned a few songs for us that were not in their repertoire (yet)! We aren’t going to get married again, but if you are, you should hire the Party Factor for your big day!”

– John & Fa

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“We had the Party Factor play for our wedding at the Eagle Mountain House in Jackson, New Hampshire on September 22, 2018. We are still getting calls from our guests who can’t stop raving about the band. A lot of friends have said it was the best wedding they have been to because everyone was up dancing and having a blast! Rick and Paul were awesome to work with and got every little detail we asked for. We can’t thank the entire band enough for truly making our wedding such a great success. If you are looking for a great, talented, energetic band for your wedding, book The Party Factor. We can’t wait to visit you guys when playing local in Boston!”
