What It Costs
What Golden Hour Groove costs
Golden Hour Groove does not publish wedding pricing. Request a quote through their website with your date, venue, and guest count, and ask for the full rate sheet rather than a single starting figure.
Only 3 of the 31 South Carolina live wedding bands in our directory publish a flat starting price, too few for a reliable median; the cost guide below covers the typical range instead.

About
Golden Hour Groove
Golden Hour Groove is built around a single premise: cover every hour of a wedding day with live musicians instead of splitting the work across separate vendors. The Columbia-based band offers ceremony music with vocals, acoustic guitar, or classical piano, then a duo, trio, or quartet for cocktail hour, before expanding to a five-plus-piece configuration for the reception.
The reception band draws on Motown, rock, soul, pop, funk, and R&B, with a bandleader handling emcee duties for introductions and announcements alongside the group's own sound and lighting production. Couples can book ceremony, cocktail, and reception coverage as one act rather than coordinating a string ensemble, a DJ, and a band separately.
Based in Columbia, the band serves weddings across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, with regular bookings in Charlotte, Charleston, Greenville, and Savannah. Booking inquiries route through Sam Hill Entertainment, the agency that represents the group; no pricing is published on the band's own site.
