Coastal Celebrations
New Haven weddings often carry the sound of the sea. From waterfront settings like Anthony’s Ocean View to intimate ceremonies at Lighthouse Point Park, couples come here for that effortless mix of ocean breeze and city comfort.
Groove Authority brings music that belongs in these spaces. Acoustic guitars for open-air ceremonies, light jazz for sunset cocktails, and high-energy sets once the evening cools and the lights reflect off the water. Each moment flows naturally into the next.
The band’s approach is simple: let the view lead and let the music elevate it. Together, they create the kind of atmosphere that feels distinctly coastal yet undeniably elegant.
Generational Playlists with Style
New Haven’s weddings often bring together guests of all ages, from college friends to family traveling in from across the region. The secret to keeping everyone on the dance floor is variety done right.
Groove Authority builds its playlists to bridge decades. Soul and Motown start the night, pop and rock classics keep it moving, and current hits add just the right edge. The transitions feel effortless, with one song blending into the next so smoothly that no one even notices the shift.
That balance between nostalgia and freshness is what defines the night. Every guest, from grandparents to newlyweds’ friends, hears something they love—and often something they didn’t expect to.

Endings That Stay With You
The best weddings never really end; they linger in memory, carried by the music that closed the night. Groove Authority knows how to shape that final moment, turning an encore into a shared experience guests remember long after the last song.
The band’s closings are never scripted. They’re built on instinct, the energy in the room, the laughter, and the sense that no one’s ready to leave. Sometimes it’s a sing-along anthem, other times a slow classic that brings everyone together one last time.
Whatever the choice, the effect is the same. The room feels full, connected, and alive. It’s not just the end of a celebration but the moment that defines it.
