Toronto Wedding Band Spotlight: Ascension Groove Band

Tuesday, 21 July 2015 by Tarisha Beniprashad

Toronto Wedding Band

We’d like to introduce the Ascension Groove Band as the second addition to our featured vendors series! Working as a live wedding band for over a decade, this band offers a unique and experienced perspective on the wedding music industry. Keep reading to find out more:

1. How did you get into live wedding entertainment? What initially piqued your interest?

Ascension Groove Band is made up professional musicians. We have been together for more than twenty years. The band has played various venues locally and internationally. We primarily worked overseas a lot. It just takes one client to see you at a club and book you for a wedding and that’s what happened. We still perform at clubs and casinos and also do corporate/private events. It is always a thrill to be part of someone’s special day and provide lasting memories.

2. Tell us about your very first gig in wedding entertainment?

Our first wedding gig was more than 10 years.

3. If you weren’t into live wedding entertainment, what would you be?

We can’t imagine doing anything else but we all would still be involved in music. We have all harnessed our craft through school and performing over the years. Once in your system, you never leave music.

4. When you’re not getting people moving on the dance floor, what could we find you doing?

We are always making sure everyone is having a good time and things are running smoothly. So when we are not on stage entertaining we are perhaps on a short break, having dinner while speeches taking place but we are constantly keeping track and in close contact with the planner if the client has one. My job primarily during breaks is to connect with the planner or if there is no planner I help with coordinating between the client and venue.

5. What’s your absolute favourite thing about being a wedding band?

Being in a wedding band is fun!!! You perform a variety of genres, you meet interesting people and at the end of the day you were part of a special moment and it’s quite an honour to be the entertainment that was chosen. It not only means something to the client but to us as well…you like what we do.

6. What’s something you don’t think many people know about creating what you do?

I don’t think people realize the work put into preparing for a wedding. A band learns new repertoire, perhaps performing their first dance, coordinating and booking of musicians whether it’s for the ceremony or the reception, organizing/arranging for sound and lighting etc.

7. What are some of your other passions (or hobbies)?

Besides music we are family type individuals. Our downtime is spent with family, sports, travelling and photography.
