Music for Long Island’s Most Beautiful Venues

Live Music for Long Island Weddings

Long Island’s mix of coastlines, vineyards, and grand ballrooms deserves music that’s just as versatile - refined when it needs to be, and electric when it’s time to celebrate.

About Groove Authority

Waterfront Receptions

Long Island weddings have a way of blending elegance with ease. The backdrop might be the open Atlantic, a quiet harbor, or a sunlit terrace overlooking the Sound - places like Gurney’s Montauk, Crescent Beach Club, or Peconic Bay vineyards. Each one turns the horizon into part of the celebration.

Groove Authority builds that connection through music. Soft strings and acoustic melodies suit a ceremony beside the water, while upbeat dinner sets carry the rhythm of the tide. When evening falls, the sound grows bigger, echoing across the shoreline and pulling guests to the dance floor.

There’s something timeless about live music carried by ocean air. The band doesn’t just perform - it becomes part of the setting, syncing with waves, laughter, and the glow of a Long Island night.

From Ceremony to Dance Floor

Every great wedding feels like a story, and on Long Island, the music is what ties each chapter together. The calm anticipation of vows, the relaxed chatter over cocktails, and the wild celebration that follows - all flow naturally when every moment has its own sound.

Groove Authority crafts that arc with precision. The band might open with an elegant piano arrangement for the ceremony, move to a soulful trio for dinner, and end with a full ensemble once the party begins. Each stage feels seamless, the energy shifting exactly when it should.

That progression turns a wedding day into an experience. Guests never notice the transitions - they just feel the momentum building until the dance floor takes over completely.

Unforgettable Finales

Every Long Island wedding deserves a big finish. The last set of the night isn’t just a performance - it’s the exclamation point on the entire day. Groove Authority understands that, saving a few surprises for when the lights are low and the crowd is at its happiest.

The band builds the energy piece by piece: a sing-along hit everyone knows by heart, a classic anthem that fills the room, then one last song that sends guests into the night smiling. It’s never forced or overdone - just perfectly timed and completely alive.

That’s the kind of ending people remember. Long after the tables are cleared and the ocean quiets, they’ll still be talking about the band, the songs, and that feeling when everything came together one last time.
