Where Rhode Island Celebrates in Style
Live Music for Providence Weddings
From elegant hotels like the Biltmore and Graduate to waterfront spaces such as Skyline at Waterplace, Groove Authority brings the perfect balance of sophistication and energy.
City Venues with Character
Providence weddings have a distinct personality - sophisticated, creative, and rooted in history. The city’s venues capture that spirit beautifully, from the stately Biltmore and Graduate hotels to modern spaces like Skyline at Waterplace and the WaterFire Arts Center. Each offers its own mood, whether you’re aiming for ballroom grandeur or contemporary style.
Groove Authority has performed across them all, shaping its sound to fit each space. A cocktail hour at Skyline calls for smooth, modern arrangements that echo the waterfront, while a night inside the Biltmore ballroom pairs perfectly with bold horns and powerhouse vocals.
No matter the setting, the band’s goal is the same: to make the music feel like part of the venue’s identity. Every note supports the atmosphere you’ve chosen, so the night unfolds seamlessly - elegant, joyful, and unmistakably Providence.

Historic Charm Meets Modern Sound
Providence is a city where history and creativity coexist. Cobblestone streets lead to contemporary galleries, and classic venues sit just steps from the riverwalk. It’s that mix of old and new that makes weddings here so memorable - and Groove Authority’s performances reflect that same blend.
The band’s polished ceremony music and timeless jazz sets pair naturally with Providence’s historic charm. But when the reception begins, the tone shifts. Funk, soul, pop, and current hits transform those stately spaces into something vibrant and modern.
That evolution keeps the celebration authentic — a reflection of the city itself. It’s tradition with edge, elegance with rhythm, and a reminder that Providence has never been afraid to mix eras or styles when it comes to a good party.
A True Band, Every Time 
Music That Moves 
Undivided Attention 
A Reputation for Excellence 
Intimate Gatherings, Big Sound
Not every Providence wedding fills a grand ballroom — and it doesn’t need to. Smaller venues like the Aldrich House, Hope Events on Main, or a private loft downtown prove that intimacy can be just as powerful. With the right music, those close-knit gatherings feel expansive, personal, and full of energy.
Groove Authority scales its performance to the space. A smaller ensemble might handle a ceremony or dinner set with warmth and precision, while a compact but powerful band keeps the dance floor alive later on. Every arrangement is chosen to complement the room, not overpower it.
That attention to balance is what makes guests remember the night. The scale may be intimate, but the impact feels anything but small — proof that in Rhode Island, a wedding doesn’t have to be huge to be unforgettable.
