Ocean Views, Historic Mansions, and Endless Celebration
Your Newport Wedding Band
Whether your celebration unfolds at a historic mansion or beneath a tent overlooking the Atlantic, the band delivers the perfect rhythm for Rhode Island’s most iconic destination.
Seaside Venues and Iconic Views
Newport is built for celebration. Historic mansions and sweeping oceanfront lawns make it one of the most sought-after wedding destinations in New England. Couples fall in love with places like Rosecliff, OceanCliff, and Castle Hill Inn - venues that carry a sense of history without ever feeling stiff.
Groove Authority understands how to match that grandeur with music that feels effortless. Acoustic melodies during the ceremony let the ocean set the mood, while upbeat dinner sets and dance-floor anthems bring energy to the evening without stealing from the scenery.
As the night unfolds, the band’s dynamic performance turns elegant spaces into something alive. Whether it’s a ballroom echoing with brass or a tent glowing beside the Atlantic, every note amplifies Newport’s natural magic.

Elegance Meets Energy
Newport weddings are a study in balance - refined, elegant, and full of life. The same ballroom that hosted dinner an hour earlier becomes a full-fledged party once Groove Authority hits the first note. The shift feels organic, a transition guests hardly notice until they’re already dancing.
That’s the hallmark of the band’s approach: knowing when to hold back and when to let go. From cocktail-hour jazz echoing through marble halls to soulful vocals that fill the night air, each song is chosen to fit the flow of the evening.
It’s a kind of musical choreography that complements Newport itself - poised, graceful, and always ready for a celebration.
A Destination Worth the Dance
Couples don’t just choose Newport for the view - they choose it for the feeling. Guests travel from across New England for a weekend that feels like a true getaway. Between the waterfront sunsets and the buzz of Thames Street, the city already hums with its own rhythm.
Groove Authority builds on that energy. The band turns receptions into full experiences, blending timeless hits and modern favorites so everyone - from college friends to grandparents — finds their moment on the dance floor.
By the time the night ends, the location and the music are inseparable. The salt air, the sound of laughter, and the last song under string lights become the memories that linger long after everyone’s gone home.
