| "I
just wanted to thank
you and every
member of Atomic Groove for making Lauren and Cory's wedding so
incredible. I
have never been to a wedding before where every
single person
actually danced. Most of the time people are intimidated or the
music does not draw them to the dance floor. Not with AG… The selection
of music at
every step of the way was
perfect. I had
everyone from grandparents to young kids tell me that Atomic Groove
was the best live
music they have ever heard!!!
Also, Carrie’s help before and throughout the wedding keeping
things on track was really appreciated.
You & AG made the whole night the best
night of our lives!!!
BTW, I cringe every time I think we almost used a DJ!!!!" |

exactly what music
to play. Every single guest loved
you guys! AG

so happy
we made Atomic Groove our 'must-have'
for the wedding. You kept everyone dancing
from the first note until the doors closed. Carrie was able to accommodate
all the special little details we requested,
while still giving us great
advice on how
to make it all come together for the perfect
event. Some of
my favorite moments of the wedding were spent watching the guests
just interact
with the band -- it brought us great
joy to see all
our guests, young and old, dancing all night long." |

During our reception (and still) our guests keep telling us what a fantastic
band we had. It’s the first wedding I’ve ever been to where ALL
the guests were
on the dance floor all
night long.
Your variety
of music and song selection is like
no other band
I’ve heard. You were willing to learn songs that were important
to us and
completely created the playlist that we
wanted to hear,
including reggae and Jimmy Buffet! You were energetic,
fun and kept
the party rockin'
all night long. There is truly no
other band like
Atomic Groove! " |

choosing a band
was our first order of business. We absolutely
wanted to have Atomic

to learn that they would make the trip to Los Angeles. They were wonderful
-- high energy, great attitude, and very
talented. We
continue to receive rave
reviews from

wanted to say 'thank

now wants to be a "singer like Carrie". Rob
(keyboardist), thank you as well for your ceremonial selections -
spot on! You guys were fantastic, humorous and very
entertaining.
Everyone whom attended commented favorably about Atomic Groove and
several stated it was the best
entertainment
they had ever witnessed!" |

from
learning our first dance
song, to fulfilling all of our request for 80’s hits and even when
the Groomsmen felt the urge to jump onstage to sing with the band!
You have no idea how many compliments we had about the band...during
the reception, and for days after, everyone wanted to know – where
did you find that band ???!!!! Atomic Groove made our wedding so memorable
for all!" |
