FAQ

Groove Culture use a touring grade modular LOGIC System PA, so sound quality is never a problem and due to its modular nature, the PA can be adjusted to suit venues of all shapes and sizes from the small and intimate Carberry Tower to the large and beautiful Melville Hall at Crieff Hydro. We use a Jobeky electronic drum kit which allows us to have full volume control of all instruments including the drum kit, ensuring that even if the volume is low we can adjust the settings to ensure we still get a good kick on the dance floor for dancing!  

Our standard arrival time is 1¼ hours prior to our scheduled performance time, to give us enough time to set up, soundcheck and change. An earlier arrival time can be arranged (additional fee applies); please ask about this when booking or getting a quote.

Groove Culture's standard performance times are from 8pm until 12am including a half-hour break (normally taken during your evening buffet).  An earlier start time or later finish time can be arranged (additional fees apply); please ask about this when booking or getting a quote.

Yes, a pre-set playlist of popular music is played for the duration of the break. Alternatively, you are more than welcome to bring a ready-made playlist of your favourite songs on your phone or iPod and we can play this instead.

You certainly can – we would be delighted to learn your choice of first dance.  All we ask is that you let us know at least 8 weeks before your wedding to allow us to rehearse and perfect the song.

Yes. This does not have to be a hotel room; anywhere clean, tidy and private is fine. Unfortunately toilets or disabled toilets are not suitable.

Our set list has been picked to appeal to all ages and tastes, with each set being tailored on the night to the type of crowd present and their reactions. Judging the best songs to play is something we have extensive experience in, and has been key to our success so far. Therefore picking the full set is something we ask you to trust us with – we’ll bring the party, you bring your dancing shoes!

Yes – we do not use any pre-recorded music in our performances. Everything you hear on the night is generated by us and our instruments, live on stage.

Yes. Limiters are usually set at a reasonable enough level not to cause any issues. However, in our experience, it can sometimes be tricky to provide the dynamic energy that is the full Groove Culture experience if very low-volume requirement limiters are in place. For your peace of mind, we would always recommend checking with your venue if a volume limiter is installed, and if present, to be aware of the volume level at which they are set.
