Great performance!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 28, 2025•From Tacoma, WA

We has a four piece Jazz Quartet play an alumni gathering at our school and the band was a huge hit. Ed was great to communicate with and worked with me to figure out the best combination of musicians for our event. They came early to set up and played throughout the heat of the day. Our guests loved them and the live music truly elevated the party. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much, Julia. Hope to see you again next year!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on September 3, 2024•From Seattle, WA

Ed was very accommodating for a fundraiser event I was hosting. I explained what we were looking for and he put together a trio to play classic rock covers. It was just what I was looking for. Thanks Ed!

Band was easy to communicate with. They were professional and the party that consisted of 14-85 years of age had a blast. Would recommend

Corporate Function•Reviewed on June 23, 2022•From Blaine, WA

What an absolute treat to have Ed Mays Groove Kitchen at our corporate event. We hosted a Roaring 1920's theme and the band absolutely nailed it. They were incredible. Everything from their dress attire, showing up early to prep, to the musical sets. By the end of the evening we had people out dancing. I received so many compliments not just from my attendees but even the hotel staff who loved the ambiance that Ed Mays created. I would book this group again for anything around the Seattle-Bellingham area. 5 star experience for sure!

Thanks for the wonderful review, Jasen!

The band arrived when they said they would for set up. They were fun and interacted with the guest as they played their sets. I would definitely hire them again if I have another get-together that requires music.

Happy Hour•Reviewed on September 18, 2019•From Seattle, WA

Groove Kitchen is an absolute gem!! The band offered us a spectacular show during our corporate happy hour event. People normally leave when food runs out but many of them stayed towards the very end solely because of their intoxicating music! The band members played seamlessly and knew their way to interact with the crowd. The vocal of their lead singer Stacy was STUNNING. We all very pleased to have Groove Kitchen in our house and we recommend them to anyone who wants a great party experience!

Holiday Party•Reviewed on December 13, 2018•From Seattle, WA

We booked Ed May's Groove Kitchen for our company holiday party and they were incredible to work with. The band we had originally booked cancelled last minute, and even with short notice Ed was able to get his band together and provide top notch entertainment. They are all extremely talented musicians and performers- Stacey was able to get some of our most reserved employees dancing! I would definitely recommend booking Groove Kitchen if you are looking for professional, fun, upbeat, and quality music.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 17, 2018•From Gig Harbor, WA

The Groove Kitchen band was fantastic at our event. They were spot on for the sound level of the room, played well to the guests, and were extremely talented. I would highly recommend this band to anyone looking for good music at their next event.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 10, 2017•From Mercer Island, WA

Groove Kitchen was phenomenal! They showed up well in advance of the guests to setup. All of the band members introduced themselves and worked well to accommodate our needs. Very professional and friendly. Their talent was top notch and played great dance music. The band has a lot of infectious energy that quickly got the crowd going. The guests were up dancing on the first song and never stopped for the night. The lead singer (Stacey) has incredible energy and a great voice. Exceptional talent and a class act. I highly recommend Groove Kitchen. I would hire them again, no question, for the next party we have that needs a band.

We absolutely LOVED having the Ed Mays Groove Kitchen band at our corporate function. What a funky band with a great sound. The bass player was by far a favorite for our crowd! They played tons of songs that everyone knew and they really fit the downtown Seattle funk we were looking for. Thanks so much!

Community Event•Reviewed on August 3, 2016•From Seattle, WA

This band was perfect for our night out block party! They arrived in plenty of time and the setup looked great! They played the perfect kind of music at the right volume to make the night fabulous for the entire neighborhood. I would definitely hire them again! Very impressed with the talent and how nice and accommodating the band members were!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 4, 2016•From Gig Harbor, WA

Ed and the band showed on time and played 3 exceptional sets for all of our guests. They accommodated some of the audience talent to sing a few songs with them which was greatly appreciated. I would book them again!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 18, 2015•From Cle Elum, WA

Ed Mays Groove Kitchen Band was the best. Our guests loved the music.... and were up dancing to every song. Ed didn't know the song that I asked them to play for our first dance. But they looked it up... and yes.. they played it for us..... and it was beautiful. I would recommend this band if you want your guests to have a good time. This was a party for our 50th anniversary..... and Ed helped to make it very special. Thank you Ed and your band.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 4, 2015•From Seattle, WA

They were fabulous! They arrived early to set up their instruments, accommodating themselves to rather limited space of the venue. Their selection of musical numbers was very appropriate to the nature of the event, 90th birthday celebration, and my guests' ages. Their performance received rave responses from my guests who congratulated me for selecting this group of talented musicians. When I have another opportunity to engage an entertainment, I would not hesitate to ask them, and I would enthusiastically recommend them to friends and acquaintances who plan a similar need.

We hired Groove Kitchen for our Summer Tenant Event for 3000 people. Everyone loved them and the music was perfect for pleasing such a large crowd! They were very accommodating with our scheduling needs and flexible to work with us on exact time and date. Would definitely hire them again!
