    the bartenders steal your cash. plain and simple. If you need more characters then ok. They take your cash and don't provide accurate change

    Great venue for Jazz and "Old" time bar that you can smoke ( jazz area is no smoking). Great drink pricing and get a bag of fresh popcorn.

    Small fun place that is inexpensive. It is a smoking bar, so keep that in mind if those type of places bother you.

    Booking Intrinsic Groove for our wedding was the best decision we made. Nearly three weeks later,…read moreguests are still texting me about how incredible the band was. So many people commented on how well they entertained every age group. Their sound was fantastic, and they brought an amazing, fun energy. Choosing wedding entertainment is a big decision, and if you want a great time, I highly recommend Intrinsic Groove. I'm also incredibly grateful to the management. Like many brides, I had plenty of questions and requests, which meant a lot of back-and-forth over email and phone. Louis and Theresa were always responsive, kind, and patient throughout. They made the entire experience smooth and professional from start to finish. I could go on forever about their raw talent. They didn't just play music--they created an unforgettable atmosphere that had everyone on the dance floor. Highlight of our big day.

    We hired this company for our wedding based on their advertised flexibility with music choices…read more Their song list and initial emails claimed, 'If there is music that you'd like, but isn't on the list, let us know!' We expected to pay a fee for them to learn some of our songs but the pricing was unclear on the contract. However, our experience was disappointing. After booking a duet and submitting our song list a few weeks later, we were informed that three of our favorite songs couldn't be performed at all, and six others required an additional fee. They suggested upgrading to a trio (with an additional fee) to accommodate these songs, citing the availability of sheet music only for piano and not for violin. Feeling upset, I contacted several other violin companies in the area, all of which confirmed they could perform the songs we wanted using piano sheet music. These songs were also widely performed by other violinists at weddings, as seen on social media. Every song we selected we found on tik tok or YouTube performed by a violin. Ultimately, we chose to forfeit our deposit and go with a different company that offered more flexibility. Other companies we contacted charged $25-50 to learn new songs and provided guidance on the music's role in the ceremony. Unlike Louis Pettinelli, they assured us they wouldn't charge for songs they might reuse in the future. We value the hard work of musicians and understand charging a fee for learning new songs. However this fee should be clear on the contract, the client should not be charged for songs that may be reused, and a talented musician should be able to use sheet music from piano and make it their own. We were told they could not play at all "Aint no Mountain High Enough" and quickly found free sheet music online for this song. Many of the other songs they charged large fees for were located free online with a quick Google search. If you consider this company, I recommend finalizing your song list before booking and ensuring they are truly willing to accommodate your music preferences without hefty additional fees. Louis's defensive responses to negative reviews, blaming the client instead of taking constructive criticism, also raised concerns for us.
