EastCoast Entertainment

Before we even got engaged we knew we wanted a wedding band but really didn't know where to start. We reached out to a few different entertainment companies that all gave us some information, but not enough to easily make a decision. Robert, however, was very specific and sent back a list of bands that were actually in our price range and told us we could set up a date to hear them play. We picked one band and decided if we didn't like them we'd go to another performance. There were supposed to be other couples at the "showcase" but it ended up being just us so Polaris gave us our own private concert! We decided to book them almost right away. Our venue also had an interesting set-up where the tables were outside so Robert also helped us set up an outdoor speaker system so that the speeches could be hear better during the toasts! Robert always followed up throughout the process and we honestly wouldn't have booked a band as quickly if it wasn't for him - so thank you!

John at ECE was great to work with and help us find the PERFECT band for our wedding within the budget we set. Dee and the entire band of Signature Live were spectacular. The dance floor was full the entire wedding reception and friends and family are still talking about how they knocked it out of the park.

Working with ECE was great - they listened exactly to what we wanted as well as what our budget was, and we were paired with the perfect band for our wedding. John was also extremely helpful and responsive. Highly recommend working with ECE!

Blue Label Band was without a doubt the best part of our wedding reception in Philadelphia. Working with Jefe was a breeze, and they even learned our First Dance and Father/Bride dance songs and executed them better than I could have imagined. The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and the interaction with the group was flawless. We have received excellent feedback from wedding attendees on "the best wedding band ever". We highly recommend Blue Label Band and EastCoast Entertainment to complete your wedding reception dreams. I can't thank them enough.

Stacy was great in helping us find a band - we wanted something a little different for our wedding. Good Shot Judy was perfect, we got many compliments afterward on the music. They were a huge hit with our friends and our parents and the older generation as well. Great dancing music, and different from your usual wedding circuit band. They got off the stage and interacted with the crowd and made it fun.

OMG BEST company ever to help find your entertainment for your special event!! 30 years ago my husband and I used East Coast Entertainment for our own wedding and this year we contacted them to help us for our daughters wedding. John Wolfslayer was the BEST in guiding us to pick the perfect band for our guest. I can't say enough about the band 76 Degrees West!!! The dance floor was packed from the minute they started until the minute they finished. If you want to have the perfect entertainment for your event your first call needs to be to East Coast Entertainment ; )))

ECE is professional all the way. Prompt, courteous, and thorough. Everything was as promised and the band they provided, Kustom Made, was incredible. And, as we all know, the music makes the party. Worth every penny. Ask for Kustom Made, you'll be glad you did.

We booked Forest Hill aka The Shack Band through EastCoast Entertainment for our October 6, 2018 wedding. Mason Owen was amazing to work with from our first conversation (about a year out) through to the day of our wedding. The band itself was AMAZING! We haven't stopped receiving compliments from our guests with how much fun they had on the dance floor and how impressive the band was! We had both a jazz trio for cocktail hour and a 6-piece band (Drums, Bass, Keys, Sax/Flute, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar/Mandolin) for our reception and both were phenomenal. They played the perfect mix of songs, and our dance floor was PACKED all night long. Can't recommend them enough!!

East Coast Entertainment was WONDERFUL! We worked with Ellie and she was fantastic in helping us find the perfect band for the vibe we wanted. Men of Distinction was amazing! We highly recommend using East Coast Entertainment.

We had Modern Luxe play our wedding a few weeks ago, and I'm so glad they did! They were phenomenal! I have had so many people ask who they were and where we found them. I think we had one of their first gigs with the horn section who also killed it! We were referred from Kaitlin at ECE and couldn't be more grateful. Modern Luxe totally made our reception amazing! I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a great band for any event. They were down to earth, easy to work with and did a great job not only learning new songs for us but also reading the crowd and picking the right songs all night long.

Working with Ellie was great from our inquiry to the contract to the actual event. The band we hired was fabulous and exceeded our expectations! Great experience.

Our experience with East Coast Entertainment could not have been more wonderful! Our agent, Chris McClure, was always prompt in his communication. The band, Black & Blue Experience, was perfect for our occasion. I've been to too many weddings where the band makes it about themselves (i.e. stopping the music for way too long during "Shout"). This band knows how to engage an audience without distracting from the celebration. They perform, entertain, and captain the party in the most professional way I've ever seen. Thank you, ECE!

Diverse Groove was exactly what we needed to make our day extra special. Hank from East coast entertainment and all of the members of the band were so nice and accommodating. All of our guests loved the music and danced the night away! They played a great variety that kept everyone having fun. We wanted a big celebration and with the help of Diverse Groove that is exactly what we got!!

I highly recommend using EastCoast Entertainment! We worked with Ellie out of the Charlotte office and she was amazing. We had a freak blizzard the day of the wedding and some of the roads were not passable. Ellie worked closely with my mom to make sure we would have quality entertainment for our reception. Luckily, the band we had contracted with (The Royal Suits) were able to make it to the resort. They were incredible! They will get your crowd up and dancing and create an unforgettable night! Great company and outstanding band!

Not only are they first class entertainers with incredible talent, they have exceptional customer service. I wish we had another wedding to plan!

We loved working with ECE Entertainment to book our band for our January wedding. They were very responsive to emails, and were great with suggesting bands that fit our price point and the music style we were looking for. We ended up choosing TFC Band, and could not have been happier with them!! All of guests thought they were FANTASTIC, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous, upbeat band that kept all of our guests dancing all night long.

We had Papa Sol and they exceeded all expectations!!! They brought so much energy and we received so many compliments. Amazing!

Legacy was our first choice for our wedding band! They were so easy to work with and really listened to what we were looking for. The dance floor was packed all night! We had so much fun and would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Surround Sound is an amazing band! They really know how to get the party started. Zack was really helpful while planning the reception for my bride and groom. He made sure they were happy from the start and made it a night that everyone will remember.

ECE was so easy to work with. They represent the top bands. We hired the JAVA BAND for a wedding reception and danced the night away. Very happy we worked through ECE to find JAVA.

We used ECE to book our band. ECE was easy to work with but I really didn't talk with him much. After it was booked I worked directly with the band: The Royal Suits-- they were FABULOUS!!! It's been 2 months and everyone is STILL talking about our band. At the end of their set, all of our guests were cheering for them to do "ONE MORE SONG!" I am sure they will go up in price but they are WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

Blue Label Band was AMAZING at our wedding. They played a great variety of music, were very professional and easy to work with. Everyone was raving about the band!

Blue Label (Jefe) was fantastic! My wedding was on 11/5/17 and my now husband and I both went to the University of Delaware where we would see Jefe every Tuesday night at Deer Park. On a whim we contacted Blue Label to see if they were available. Sure enough we booked them and couldn't be happier. We had a dilemma with our venue and Blue Label was able to work with us easily. Laura was our point person and she is amazing. All of our friends and family keep saying how great the band was. We were up and dancing the whole night. Blue Label worked with us to include the Hora and other traditional Jewish pieces that we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail and reception. Highly recommend Blue Label! They are well priced compared to other bands and overall, just fantastic people with so much energy. No need to look any further, book Blue Label! <3 them all! Thank you for making our wedding day so special and so perfect.

I loved our band. We had In The Pocket as our band for our wedding and they were incredible. The group was always very professional in responding to emails and timely in their responses. They kept our guests entertained and played a wide array of music for us. They knew how to keep our guests entertained and when to play the slower songs versus fast songs. I had so many people compliment us on our band and tell us how wonderful they were. I could not have been more pleased than to have them as our band. What an incredible night of dancing and celebrating.

East Coast Entertainment was wonderful to work. They were very responsive, helpful and I could not have been happier with the band Java. They were awesome. I highly recommend to anyone getting married in this area to use ECE to find their band!

Larry Farber with East Coast was a pleasure to work with as I as the mother of the bride sought to identify a memorable band experience for my daughter's wedding at Boone Hall in Charleston. He listened to us explain the kind of experience we wanted for dinner and dancing at the Cotton Dock and then recommended a band that exceeded our wildest expectations, the Black and Blue Experience! I would never consider using anyone but East Coast (and the Black and Blue Experience). Everything was perfect.

The most amazing band! Easy to work with and they play ALL kinds of music genres! We didn't have a single person sitting when they started playing. Truly wonderful!

Great band, easy to work with!

The band exceeded all of our expectations! The ceremony songs were played perfectly and the cocktail hour was great too. They did an amazing job singing band of horses for our first dance (and that is not an easy song)! And every song they played during the reception was a hit! All age groups were on the dance floor and the dance floor was packed all night. We all wished they could have played longer! We were very happy with them and would definitely recommend them to other people!

They definitely know what they're doing! We had a great time.

My husband and I recently used EastCoast Entertainment for our wedding and contracted Big Baby Band. Not only were they extremely accommodating, the band went above and beyond and almost didn't take a break to ensure everyone was still having a good time!! They truly made the reception what it was and their energy was infectious!! I would recommend them time and time again!!!!!

To The Max was AMAZING!!! They were everything we could have hoped for and more; not only were they a dream to work with in the weeks leading up to the wedding but on the day of they brought the house down. The dance floor was packed from the start of the reception to the bitter end, to this day we’re still hearing rave reviews from our guests in reference to the band. To The Max brought the energy and the party, everything was perfect from start to finish. We could not be happier with our decision to choose To The Max for our wedding and we highly recommend booking them!

Transparent communication, talented musicians, passionate about what they do, easy to do business with. They have learned a first dance song for us and created the most positive, fun and joyful atmosphere we could have asked for. It was a pleasure to have them at our wedding.

We got married this past weekend and worked with Ellie to find the band. She recommended We Got the Beat and they were INCREDIBLE. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and our guests have been raving about them nonstop. They played a great mix of old school, classics and new hits. Couldn't recommend them enough.

ECE provided excellent customer service and communication. The band Mo' Money was exactly what we had hoped for. They were very professional and kept us dancing and entertained all night. Even the music they provided during their breaks was terrific!

For our wedding we hired American Delux (AMDLX), a band managed by EastCoast Entertainment. We originally saw them at my friends wedding, thought they were amazing and hired them from there. Throughout the entire process they were fantastic! We chose a none-traditional song for our first dance and at first were concerned the band wouldn't be willing to learn it. Honestly though, they didn't even bat an eye and played it better than the original band. Throughout the entire night they dazzled and the dance floor was never empty. We also hired them for the ceremony and cocktail hour. The guitarist for the ceremony added such a beautiful touch and really set the mood. And the trio for the cocktail hour were also amazing. Overall I just can't rave enough about how amazing this band was and would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to make their wedding amazing.

Our wedding day would have not been complete without the EastCoast Entertainment and the Shimmer Band!! We had previously seen Shimmer perform at a wedding my now husband and I had attended. My husband loved their performance so much that he took one of the contact cards when we left that wedding in 2016 and then we ended up booking them for our wedding this year! Hank Patterson is amazing to work with to make sure each detail and song selection is handled well in advance. The band is sounds incredible and people cannot be on the dance floor when they perform. Such a great group!!

BEST BAND EVER!! My husband and I got married on October 15, 2017 and we have not stopped receiving calls telling us how amazing the band was! They were very easy to work with, and really made our wedding. There was never an empty dance floor. I highly recommend using EastCoast Entertainment. I have been to many wedding where the band does not really engage or get people up and dancing. From the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception, Blue label killed it! Again, BEST BAND EVER!!

ECE was so helpful in helping me find the perfect band for our wedding. We ended up choosing Modern Luxe as our band and was the best choice we could have made. They literally blew the roof off the place!! After there last song, the crowd was chanting "one more song, one more song!'' and they played an extra 15 min! 90% of the 150 that attended were dancing, with everyone saying, this is the best band! They appealed to everyone of all ages which kept everyone dancing all night long! Current Hip Hop, Country, Classics, they absolutely killed it! And most important of all they nailed our wedding song! The process was painless and the band was above and beyond expectations!

Working with East Coast Entertainment was fantastic! Ellie was so easy to communicate and work with. The Royal Suits were truly the best wedding band I have ever heard! As soon as they started playing, our wedding guests were on the dance floor and were dancing all night long. They played some of our favorite songs by request and they even took the time to learn our first dance song for the wedding for no extra charge. I would absolutely recommend the Royal Suits, they are fantastic!!

We worked with ECE to have The Royal Suits play at our wedding. ECE was easy to work with--they were responsive to our questions and requests, and did a great job of curating a list of bands for us to consider. I can't say enough wonderful things about The Royal Suits! They were truly AMAZING!!! We had high expectations based on their demos and feedback from ECE, but they absolutely surpassed everything we expected and hoped for! We've heard nothing but glowing comments from our guests as well. Our whole wedding party agreed that they were the best wedding band we've seen (and we've all been to a lot of weddings!). Thanks to The Royal Suits for helping to make our wedding reception so much fun and the best day of our lives!

Hands down the best decision we made for our wedding was using ECE and having Clay and the rest of American Deluxe as our band. A number of guests told us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard, and some even asked for Clay's information to schedule them for upcoming weddings. From the beginning, both Laura from ECE and Clay were incredibly responsive and helpful. The process was seamless and by the time we got to the reception, everything went perfectly. American Deluxe are incredibly talented - they were able to play most any song we talked to them about, and the full band played for four hours straight after two of them played during cocktail hour and four of them played during dinner. By the end it truly did feel like a concert at a wedding. I couldn't recommend ECE or American Deluxe any more highly. Thanks Laura and Clay!

I am a wedding planner in Charleston, SC so when it came to picking out my own reception entertainment, I went straight to East Coast Entertainment. Scott Toole sent me a list of recommendations within my budget and he did not disappoint. The Root Doctors were our wedding band and they were amazing! I am still getting compliments on how fun, talented and entertaining they were. I would never have found them without ECE. I recommend them for all of your entertainment needs!

East Coast Entertainment was a breeze to work with! We told them what we were looking for and our budget, and they came up with so many great options to choose from. They were very responsive and the process was easy from start to finish. Our wedding would not have been half as fun without Right to Party, and we are so grateful that ECE suggested them for us! Would definitely recommend them for all your entertainment needs.

The band was incredible. Everyone we worked with was kind, responsive, flexible, and accommodating. Our guests had a blast!

Brad from East Coast entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with. We began working with him when we reached out to East Coast entertainments for Wedding Band Recommendations. He recommended our wedding band (InsideOut Band) who our guest are still raving about saying they were the "Best Wedding Band they ever heard." Thank you Brad for recommending a band that kept our guest dancing and having the time of our lives. The caterers had to move the tables at the reception because EVERYONE was on the dance floor! Brad also recommended our String Group (The String Poets) who played the most beautiful music during our ceremony. I will remember that walk down the aisle forever and the music that brought tears to my eyes. Brad was accommodating and available from day one, super flexible, and willing to work with us within our budget. He even attended our wedding because our band was doing an Instagram Takeover, and my husband and I were happy we got to meet him in person. Thank you for helping us choose and coordinate with two wonderful vendors that made our day absolutely perfect!

We had The Royals play at our wedding in Jacksonville, FL and they did not disappoint! They began playing during dinner and wow did they capture the attention of everyone in the room. The lead vocalists both have INCREDIBLE voices. They literally put on a show for us and had everybody clapping and singing along. They played a couple songs and went on a short break. At that time everyone finished dinner and they performed our "first dance" song and from then on everybody was dancing for the WHOLE NIGHT! If you just want background noise..this is not the band for you. You will be entertained. By the end of the night my husband and I were on stage singing to Journey (karaoke style). They actually turned down our microphones and had the professionals singing it for us. All of our friends and family were cheering for us and singing along. It was truly a night to remember. They are expensive compared to other local bands because they put on a professional production. They MADE our whole wedding, and in my opinion they should be charging more. The management company had strong communication with us throughout the booking process and leading up to our event. They brought in all of their own equipment and sound system, lighting, etc. All we had to do is provide a stage for them, and an area for them to get ready in and meals for all members of the band and crew. The music was the best part of our wedding and we are so glad we were able to fit them in our budget. All of our guests are still talking about the show they put on. Thank you to the Royals and EastCoast Entertainment, you are true professionals!

EastCoast Entertainment found us not one, not two, but three absolutely perfect bands for our Friday and Saturday night parties. We told Ellie at ECE what we were looking for, and she very quickly sent us multiple wonderful options. She also steered us towards a band that ended up being the perfect reception band and exactly what we wanted. We are so happy that we decided to work with ECE and cannot recommend them highly enough!

East Coast Entertainment makes hiring your wedding entertainers a breeze! We hired The Business, and they are the best band in the world! They were absolutley incredible, and we could not have imagined a more perfect bunch. Jim was such a joy to work with. They certainly made it the most memorable night of our lives, and I don't think we're the only ones still in awe of their performance. There was not one square inch of dance floor left empty, and everyone danced the night away. So, so good!

My husband and I chose Funktion 11 for our wedding on 9.9.17. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice, the band was simply amazing. From the moment the first note was played, our guests were up and out of their seats dancing, and didn’t return to their seats all night! The variety of music was perfect, the set list appealed to all ages and musical tastes. The band members brought so much excitement to the dance floor, their interactions with our guests brought it to a whole new level. It’s a month later and our guests are still reaching out to tell us how amazing our band was. If you are looking for an amazing band for your wedding, look no further, you have found it!

ECE played a vital role in making our wedding better than we could have ever imagined! A friend of our who had an amazing band recommended we use ECE, and there is no way we would have been able to find such an amazing band without their help. Our agent Ellie sent was excellent! She was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and after only a brief phone discussion she quickly understood what we were looking for in a band and sent multiple options within our price range, and at various price points. For our wedding, we wanted the band/party to be the highlight of the night- fun, interactive, great vocals/musicians, and Ellie sent us so many great options that we had a difficult time choosing. However, there was one band that really stuck out-- The Business! Let me tell you-- best decision we could have made. The Business exceeded our expectations in every way, and countless guests told us they were the best band they had ever heard (and we're talking ALL BANDS, not "wedding bands"). It was hands down the absolute best night of our lives, and they played a major role in making that happen. They had such a range in energy, and it was truly perfect for each moment of the evening-- from the smooth jazz to the sweat-inducing Motown jams that guests of all ages could enjoy. We couldn't believe how packed the dance floor was, even at the very end! Even several of our "mature" guests said they couldn't help but stay until the end because the band was just THAT good. We would have never known of The Business had it not been for our agent Ellie and ECE! Countless thanks for making our night the best ever!

We chose Funktion11 as our wedding band for our wedding on 9.9.17. What can I say, the band was beyond expectation! From the moment the band started, everyone was out of their seats, the room was emptied out onto the dance floor. The band interacted with the guests, they kept the crowd moving and dancing the whole night. Almost a month later and guests are still raving about our band and what an amazing night it was. I would reccomend this band to anyone looking for a memorable, dance filled night! Thank you SO much!!

Awesome to work with. Helped with selecting the right band, the music, the contract, etc. Highly recommend Hank!

An amazing experience overall! Everything from the management to the Swinging Richards performance was top notch. I honestly could not have asked for anything else. We have had many people tell it was one of the most fun if not the very best wedding they have been too. A lot of that is thanks to the band and their staff. All communications leading up to the event were clear and simple. I highly recommend this team.

We used the East Coast Entertainment office in Raleigh, NC to book the band Smile for our daughter's wedding. They were not only very talented musicians, but brought great attitudes and tons of energy! Guests of all ages loved the music. I would highly recommend them!
