East Coast Music & Entertainment Inc.

edible energy at the NYAC and knew right then and there that we had to have them for our big day. They did not disappoint. Our guests are still reaching out to tell us they were the best band they have ever seen. A huge shoutout to Big Mike, who is a total showstopper, his talent and stage presence are unmatched. What we loved most was seeing guests of all ages out there dancing the night away. The energy was high, the music was flawless, and the dance floor was never empty. Thank you, East Coast Band, Paul, Melissa, and Big Mike, for making our night unforgettable!

edibly organized and keeps everything running seamlessly, but he is also part of the band. Every single band member is talented, engaging, and brings nonstop energy. One of my husband’s must-haves was having both a male and female singer, plus horns, and TMA delivered beyond expectations. Having both vocalists meant every genre and song sounded amazing, and the horns took the energy to another level and made the night completely unforgettable. We had cello and piano for the ceremony, sax and keys for cocktail hour, and then the full band with a DJ for the reception. This was hands down the best decision. It allowed us to play everything we wanted without any lulls, and the dance floor stayed packed all night. This is not your typical traditional wedding band. They were also incredibly accommodating. They helped coordinate and execute a surprise voiceover from me to my husband during the ceremony, which went perfectly and made the moment even more special. They played all of our must-have songs and even learned a few new ones for our dances. One of the funniest moments of the night was when they brought our friend on stage. He lives for karaoke and Taylor Swift, and they made it such a fun, unforgettable moment. The band members are constantly on the dance floor with their solos. It is a full-on show, not just background music. They also surprised us with a highlight video, which meant so much since we didn’t have a videographer and now have something we will cherish forever. The entire day ran flawlessly. The ceremony and reception stayed perfectly on track, there were zero hiccups, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. You truly get what you pay for, and our wedding would not have been the same without them. We can’t recommend TMA Band enough. They absolutely exceeded every expectation.

were the best" So many people we know have had East coast and EVERYONE raves about them. They have a great mix of music and with horn section can play anything. If you want a band that will keep people of all ages on the dance floor this is your band!!

modern music, and listened to what songs I definitely did not want playing! Paul and the band members were so helpful and made it smooth sailing. 10/10 would recommend!

il hour, and we had 9-pieces for our reception. CC was our producer, and Eartley, Tom, and KT also led songs. During our search for a band, we were looking for a group that was experienced, allowed us to see them live, and played music that kept guests of all ages dancing all night. First, East Coast’s expertise made the whole night as smooth as could be. Throughout the planning process, we had calls with CC and Tom. They were always so kind and confident in their work. Prior to the wedding, CC scheduled a call with my fiance and I. She reviewed all the night’s details with us. She also asked about us and our guests to ensure the requested songs were tailored to our crowd. One of the best recommendations CC had was how to structure the evening to keep the energy up. Guests specifically complimented how seamlessly the events of the night flowed into one another. Secondly, in our search for a band, it was important to us to have a group that we could see playing in a wedding setting or live. We loved that East Coast had videos from weddings they’d played on their website. It was clear how upbeat, talented, and engaging they were. Additionally, East Coast plays live gigs regularly, so my family had the chance to see them twice before the wedding day. They were just as amazing in-person as they were in the online videos. Lastly, East Coast played such a wide variety of music that kept guests dancing all night. One of our favorite memories from the night was seeing people from different parts of our lives on the dance floor. East Coast played music that included every generation from friends to grandparents. Additionally, it felt like East Coast didn’t take a break all night long. CC perfectly aligned “breaks” with dinner and dessert being served. A dance set was never interrupted by a break, it just effortlessly flowed into the next part of the evening. Guests complimented the quality of the music, each vocalist’s unique style, and the sing-along quality of the songs. The dance floor was full all night long. Guests are still raving about our band, and honestly so are we!! We couldn’t have been in better hands. I highly recommend East Coast Band for anyone looking for an experienced band that brings the best energy and will have guests of all ages dancing all night.

and I was immediately hooked. Never have I seen a dance floor so packed, both with 30 year old’s like myself however equally as packed with individuals who are my parents age as well. The music selection catered beautifully to both generations, was not too loud, and allowed for a celebration where truly everyone enjoyed, danced and no one felt left out based on the style of music played to be left sitting at a table throughout the night. I have gone to many weddings where the DJ plays all music catered to the younger generation, however this leaves others seated at tables with music too loud where they can not even talk at all, just left to sit at the table and watch the dance floor. This is the absolute opposite of what you will get with having East Coast perform on your big day! I was so compelled that a week after attending my family members wedding with East Coast Band performing, I reached out and signed them as well for my own wedding! Besides a packed dance floor, with super talented performers, that all of your guests will rave about I wanted to also take a moment and place emphasis on the character of this company. From its very owner, Paul, who is incredibly professional, kind and does not pressure you into signing with them what so ever! He truly spends his time with you ( was on the phone for one hour) answering your every question and concern to make your day super special. My fiancé and myself are completely overwhelmed by the talent this entire group has to offer. In particular, Big Mike ( performed on American Idol), Kenny, KT and Tom (guitarist) really caught our attention. Not only were all members incredibly talented, but it is worth noting that they are very kind, thoughtful and will bend over backwards to make your day super special. It is an honor for us to have them performing at our wedding and if you are unsure about a vender for music, I am here to say that there is no where else to look than East Coast Band!

nd’s wedding a few years ago and were so blown away that we said, “We’re booking them for ours someday,” *before we were even engaged*. And they still managed to exceed every expectation. From the first song to the last, they were absolutely incredible. The energy, the talent, the crowd interaction — they had *everyone* on the dance floor all night long, from our friends to our grandparents. Literally every single guest came up to us at some point during the night (and after) to say it was the best band they had *ever* seen at a wedding. And we couldn’t agree more. We spoke with Paul Schuermann before booking, and he was so helpful and informative. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and cares deeply about making each event unforgettable. The band was also super accommodating and made sure every moment of the night felt seamless, exciting, and totally personalized to us. If you're looking for a wedding or event band, *stop your search now* and book **East Coast Band**. They blew our minds, made our wedding unforgettable, and gave us the party of a lifetime. We are forever grateful. **We love you, East Coast Band!!**

gh people I’ve ever worked with. Paul didn’t miss a beat—pun intended! We were lucky enough to have Paul himself at our wedding, along with Big Mike and Melissa. They were absolutely amazing. I might be biased, but this was hands-down the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. Every guest we spoke to said the same, and several even asked for their contact info for their own weddings! Paul was amazing to work with, making sure everything ran smoothly from our song list to the flow of the evening. Our wedding went into overtime, and Paul and the band committed to staying for us (fees included, but totally worth it). And if you want to see these guys in action before booking, they even play throughout Long Island and NYC—including at Red Lion once a month on a Tuesday night! Thank you, Paul, Big Mike, Melissa, and the entire East Coast Band for an unforgettable night. You truly made our wedding what it was—fun, energetic, and absolutely perfect.

er vendors we were working with. During the event itself, the band put on amazing show that had our guests dancing and enjoying for the entire evening. Can't recommend them enough!

create the perfect atmosphere, and they exceeded every expectation. They played all the hits and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. Guests of all ages were out there dancing and having the time of their lives. So many friends and family came up to us afterward to rave about how incredible the band was. Their energy, talent, and ability to read the crowd made our reception unforgettable. If you’re planning an event and want a band that will truly bring the party to life, East Coast Band is the one to choose. We can’t recommend them enough!

y. Paul accommodated any requests I had ahead of time and the band learned our first song which was “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by Queen. People raved about the band and it honestly made our wedding great. 10x better than a DJ! People are still talking about it months later! Go with East Coast Band! I have gone to see the band play live at Lazy Lobster and at other locations with friends post wedding-that’s how good they are! You will not regret hiring them for one of the best days of your life!

really took the time to understand what we wanted for our big day. Big Mike absolutely nailed it with the playlist! He curated the perfect mix of songs that kept our guests on their feet all night long. Even months after our wedding in August, we still have friends and family talking about how much fun they had and how great the music was. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and they truly set the tone for an epic celebration. If you want a band that will make your wedding the best night ever, East Coast Band is the way to go! Thank you for making our special day even more amazing!

f the best bands they've ever seen - I don't think anyone sat post dinner the whole night lol. Can't recommend them enough!

er of incredibly talented musicians that really know how to work a crowd. This band is the real deal! Working with Paul was a dream — he’s so personable, funny, and kind. It was clear from our first call with him that ECB was the right choice. Not only did we look forward to our calls with him, he was also very responsive and detail oriented throughout the planning process. We ended up engaging ECB for a 10-piece band, DJ, stage lighting, and photo booth. In terms of process, we had an initial call with Paul to discuss our vision and he provided various proposals and pricing options. As we closed in on the wedding, Paul sent several questionnaires to help tailor the sound/overall vibe to our order of events (e.g., band song list, details for the ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner/dance portions of the night, DJ song list, etc.) and coordinated setup specifications with the venue and our wedding planners. Paul and the ECB team accommodated so many of our specific requests (e.g., vocalist duet with a member of our wedding party). Our guests were floored when ECB brought on a vocalist that sang two Chinese love songs (in perfect Mandarin!), and the band even learned to play our last dance song so we closed out the night with bang. So many of our guests have remarked that ECB is the best band they’ve ever seen perform at a wedding. (Mission accomplished!) ECB exceeded all our expectations in terms of professionalism, quality of service, and overall value. We would recommend ECB to others without hesitation, and certainly plan on catching their sets at the Red Lion in the future. Go with ECB if you want a night to remember!

le. The band is truly incredible we had people up on the dance floor all night long and have non stop received compliments on how amazing they were! Thank you Paul and East Coast Band!

n away with their professionalism. The Band created a set list full of songs that I love while also making sure to include choices that guests of all ages enjoyed. They managed to successfully keep the party going all night long and my guests still haven’t stopped raving about them. Each member of the band is so talented and there to make sure your wedding is one to remember!

in 2019. We danced all night then and knew we had to hire the band for our wedding this summer. And they exceeded our high expectations! We received endless compliments about the music East Coast performed (especially star piano player Henry and the two fabulous vocalists) from our family and guests, and the general consensus is that the set list was flawless. John and Paul were great collaborators in advance, taking our tastes into consideration, and we loved the set list so much we asked for it after the fact to keep it as a playlist. The team at East Coast was very professional before and during our event, and they helped us throw a kickass party. We cannot recommend them enough.

rge group of young people in the 20s, spanning to the older generations, they played music for everyone. Multiple guests shared that they had never been to a wedding where people did not leave the dance floor the entire reception and that is exactly what East Coast Band helped us achieve. There was not one single song, or even one single note, that missed. Most importantly, they were kind. My planner and multiple venue staff shared with me how respectful the entire band was of them on the day of, which is unfortunately not something they often receive in the industry. Melissa was an amazing MC and really felt like she integrated herself into the day in the very best way, making me feel comfortable and like she wasn't a stranger from the start. I wish that I could do my wedding all over again exclusively so I could hire East Coast Band and have the best dance party one more time!

at band was booked on our wedding date. He asked what we liked about them, and found us a few other options available for our date. Within his suggestions we found Blairs West Band, listened to their wedding song collaboration and fell in love! The band was so helpful and proactive leading up to our wedding date, making sure all the logistics were in place and asking about our song list and special song requests. I was impressed when they learned songs off our special song request just for us! On the day of, they were SO good, very very sweet and made our wedding feel personalized. 10/10 recommend Blairs West Band, booked through East Coast Music & Entertainment.

k and they worked seamlessly together. We didn't have a wedding planner and didn't have to worry at all about the band setting up and knowing exactly what to do. Paul is super responsive and honest. Many of our friends and family asked for the band name for their future events. They were awesome!

eek(s) following, flooding my inbox with the BEST things to say about these guys is honestly hard to keep up with! We had a bit of a different song list we were hoping for...they not only took it on, while maintaining our expectations in a reasonable and professional manner, but they blew every song out of the park - mix was mostly classic rock (heavy on Bruce and horn songs) but really all over the spectrum (ample Sinatra, Shania Twain and even a number of niche Irish Pub drinking songs mixed in for our Galway family in town). They even let my one cousin perform with them and sing Steve Earle's "Galway Girl"! Best version of "Livin on a Prayer" and "Jersey Girl" we'd ever heard (coming from a huge Irish NJ based fam of Boss and JBJ Lovers....that's a praise like no other and not given lightly) The best way I could sum these guys is in two recaps: 1) There were people on the dance floor (all night, at that) that I/my parents have never seen even bounce along at a single wedding in the past (and we've had many in our fam) 2) My dad, who's seen over 1000 live concerts (including 15+ of the Stones alone), and two of my professional musician cousins all unanimously voted East Coast to be the best live band they'd ever seen (as in best of ANY bands, not just wedding, that they've seen in 60+ years of shows) BOOK IMMEDIATELY! :-)

a fun dance floor! All of this at a very fair price compared to other wedding bands that I had considered. Definitely the most fun wedding band that I have experienced! I highly recommend!

covers to all our favorites and then some! On top of that, the bride and groom requested a song for their first dance that the band learned and may have done better than the original! A delight to work with from booking until the last note was played, East Coast is guaranteed to get your party into high gear!

t really shows. I wanted my wedding to be a nonstop dance party and they totally crushed it! Everyone was dancing all night. They were also really honest about my venue, and where the sound would be good and where it would not. They helped explain the logistics and acoustics of the venue before I even booked them, and helped me with a lot of logistics to ensure that everything was perfect during my ceremony and reception after I did. They are also really reasonably priced. I highly recommend them!

ratory energy. 2. A large range of song options and instruments to choose from (I love horns). 3. A band that my guests would remember and rave about! East Coast Band provided all 3 and more! Paul, the band leader was extremely easy to work with. He is very accommodating in every sense of the word. Paul played the keys for my ceremony, and I thought it was beautiful. He played some classical secular music while guests were arriving and nailed each song request for the ceremony. Then Paul put together a Jazz Trio for our cocktail hour. It was lovely- it felt so classy and fun! My one main request there was to have a saxophonist. Paul’s usual sax player, Dimitry was on stand-up bass, so he hired an additional musician to play sax. She was great, and she also pulled out a flute at some point which was a nice surprise. Their jazz was perfect to have while enjoying our outdoor cocktail hour. Now, the reception! I had Miriam and Kenny singing and they were both SO great. A month later, our friends are still talking about the band and about Miriam. All the band members showed up to the wedding with a wonderful attitude and truly looked like they loved their work playing music. The joy was tangible and contagious to our guests. We danced all night, I forgot to even make rounds at my dinner tables… oops! They had a huge list of songs to choose from and inspire us. My father even played his own song and sent it to the band. They backed him up so beautifully as if they’d rehearsed together in advance. So special! Choosing a band for your wedding is a huge decision. I highly recommend East Coast Band! It’s one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I’d make the same exact decision today if I had to do it over again.

wedding had the absolute best time, and it truly was because of how amazing the band was!! I highly recommend booking them!!

oy to work with and accommodated all of our unique requests for ceremony music, special dances and beyond. The band got and kept the party going all night and we couldn’t have been happier. They killed our wedding song and that’s something we will remember forever. Book East Coast immediately - you won’t be disappointed!! THANK YOU EAST COAST!

rantee an amazing wedding, with all your guests dancing and having fun, this is the way to go. From beginning to end, they were amazing - from intro call with Paul, their manager, and working with him on our vision to the actual day, it was flawless. Huge shoutout to Miriam Kenny and Eartley who absolutely crushed every single song they sang. Cannot recommend them enough!!!

we got to experience with our closest friends and family. We danced, we laughed, we cried, we did splits on the dance floor, and we had the most amazing experience. Our friends and family are still raving about what an amazing night it was, and how they've never been to a wedding where every single person was out on the dance floor for the entire evening. Thank you to all of the amazing musicians who brought their A game for our special day! -Sara & Mike, Alan & Laurie

iments from our guests and everyone was dancing through the night and wanted more at the end! Paul was incredibly easy to work with, competent and knowledgeable. CC was our MC and was great! Fantastic experience!!!!!

xecuted each one perfectly. They had our guests on the dance floor the entire night and knocked it out of the park with their song selections. They made our wedding and had the crowd energized the whole time and we we couldn’t be happier. Look no further than East Coast!!!

nd, so since we live out of state, we decided it was a sign and booked them sight unseen. I cannot emphasize how glad I am that we made this decision. They are PHENOMENAL. We had SO many people from our tell us how great they did, and we could not agree more. The energy at our wedding was unreal. Everyone was dancing and smiling. Their playlist is vast, their ranges are wide, and their energy is unbeatable. If you are on the fence-book them! Don't hesitate. I am hopeful I can attend someone else's wedding, so we don't have to have another one just to hear them play!

ters wedding in 2019. They were even better than I remember from a few years ago. The dance floor was packed the entire night. They’re very accommodating and easy to work with. I and my guests can’t say enough good things about this band.

Would highly, highly recommend if you're looking for a good lively dance party! Paul was also great to deal up in preparation for the wedding, including a COVID delay and some unforeseen issues to deal with last minute at the outdoors, private residential, rustic location. Cannot recommend strongly enough. Thank you, East Coast Band!!

! Paul was a pleasure to work with and he worked seamlessly with all of our vendors to find creative solutions for our unique reception venue setup! The energy level the band brought had our guests dancing so much that the dance floor nearly caved in! The music flowed perfectly and the band knew exactly what songs to play when. They were so awesome and flexible with special requests including letting my mom sing with the band twice, which was absolutely amazing and so special for us! Gabi, Mike, and the entire band were simply incredible! We had the most fun and the best night! Our guests can't stop talking about how amazing this band is and we had friends of ours book them right away after seeing them play at our wedding! Thank you to Paul, Gabi, Mike, and the entire East Coast band for being such an amazing part of our wedding!

ages. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. I would definitely recommend them!

ck and efficient. They accommodated us by learning a new song to make my father-daughter dance so special. EARTLEY is the best!!!!! but everyone is AMAZING (shoutout to Melissa and Amy as my other singers who can nail every song, so talented!). I had a 9 piece band and the dance floor was packed the entire night and the song choices were on point, they can gauge the crowd perfectly. The HORNS the guitar the drums everything was amazing, I also had 1 performer sing and play the piano for the cocktail hour, I sadly forget his name but he was phenomenal too!!!!!!

daughter's wedding. That was the best decision --they were lots of fun, had great suggestions on how to start the party off with energy, and played great songs - everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! Lot's of compliments from friends! Would do it all over again !!! Thanks, Paul and band!

etc.; however, the one we repeatedly heard was how good the band was and how much fun our guests had on the dance floor. ECB played a great mix of tunes that spanned a wide age range of our guests and we would have never thought our elder guests would be jumping up and down to "All the Small Things" but ECB had them going! Paul managed the process seamlessly and was responsive which was helpful in relieving stress on an important day. They were also very happy to accommodate specific song requests that weren't listed in their wide rolodex of songs. More than anything, we wanted our guests to have a good time at our wedding and having a great band is essential to that. Two of our friends who attended our wedding are using ECB in a few weeks at theirs' and we couldn't be more excited for them that they can rest easy knowing ECB was the right choice!

e both unbelievable, the rest of the band was spot on, the song selection and flow of the music throughout the night was just absolutely perfect.  We had so many people come up to us saying how insane the band was, this is the best wedding band they've ever heard. Song after song, they were absolutely phenomenal.  CC also did an incredible job MCing, she was so sweet to us and accommodating… the energy was perfect the entire night. People were dancing and loving the song selection, and the way the night evolved, the dance floor was electric. Between the two of them, and the rest of the musicians that sang, they covered every possible sound and voice so unbelievably well. Also a massive shoutout to Paul, the manager, for his communication throughout the entire planning process leading up to the big day. He was always accommodating and professional, and I never had any doubt that everything was being taken care of. Our wedding was such an incredible night, and this band was a massive part of it. Could not have been happier. Everyone should request CC and Eartley as their lead vocalists, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

one of our guests on the dance floor. They did a great job of playing songs for the older crowd as well as some more current hits. Tom and his team was also great to work with. We couldn’t recommend them enough!
