Band first, DJ second, or both on the one night. Essential Groove cover Melbourne weddings, corporate events, private functions and birthdays with a songbook stretching from 60s soul through disco, funk, Latin and salsa to current pop, plus lighting and staging when the room needs it. So the music never has to stop when the band takes a break. One host said guests couldn't stop raving about them, and credited the packed dance floor with making the night.
