Where do I even begin…. Before the wedding, Jenny was so lovely to work with. She handled questions, reminders, and information gathering with such grace. They even managed some interesting song requests for us, which turned out SO good.
Our guests had nothing but the best to say about Moonshine. Neither of us have many dancers in our families, but our dance floor was PACKED all night long. Their rock/blues set list was definitely welcomed amongst our group. We had so much fun!
They offered to play the recorded version our first dance song because of the number and types of instruments, and I appreciated Jenny’s honesty about their concerns with performing it live. But they did play our private last dance song for us, and it was so beautiful. All around, Moonshine was the perfect band for our reception! We loved it!

Hi Stephen,
This is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I am thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Moonshine. Please stay in touch and I would love to help plan your next event! Cheers, Jenny
The wedding reception was the best party I have ever been to, much less had the privilege to throw. The Hippodrome venue was fantastic. Moonshine Society was the perfect fit and drove the party! It would not have happened without you. Thanks to Jenny and the band...absolutely fabulous. Hope to see you again real soon.

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your honesty. I’m sorry you had a negative experience. As much as we love getting positive reviews, honest feedback - even when negative – is important for us to hear as it helps us to learn how our company and artists ...
can be better.
Any questions?
Brad S. at ECE was great to work with! He helped us find the perfect band for our wedding reception and also helped us seamlessly navigate through a COVID reschedule!
The band was amazing!! Moonshine provided the perfect blend of music for our wedding reception and had everyone dancing all night long! Moonshine is composed of impeccable musicians and complete professionals. Band leader Jenny made the entire process seamless, including navigating a COVID reschedule and 3 special tune requests (2 of which my dad and I sang with the band!) I absolutely would recommend booking with ECE and specifically booking Moonshine for your next event for a stress-free planning process and most of all, incredible, top-notch entertainment!

Hi Victoria, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I am thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Moonshine. Please stay in touch and I would love to help plan your next event! Cheers, Brad
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!
Response from the Vendor on 04/14/2020
Jacqueline, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I am thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Polaris. Cheers, Robert
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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/12/2019
Caroline, thanks for sharing your kind words. Working with you was a pleasure and I am thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Signature Live. Please stay in touch! Cheers, John
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!

Olivia, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and we are thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time. Please stay in touch and we would love to help plan your next event! Cheers, 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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2018
Allison, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that Blue Label exceeded your expectations. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE
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.
Response from the Vendor on 12/19/2018
Jennifer, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved Good Shot Judy! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Stacy
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 ; )))
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2018
Maria, thanks for sharing your kind words. I am so glad you not only booked through us for your own wedding but that you came back and booked us again for your daughter's wedding. We are so glad that 76 Degrees West band exceeded your expectat...
ions. We hope our paths cross again for another occasion soon. Cheers, John
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.
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2018
Peter, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and we are thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Kustom Made. Please stay in touch! Cheers, ECE
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!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/30/2018
Oliver, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Forest Hill. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Mason
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.
Response from the Vendor on 04/25/2018
Caroline, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved Men of Distinction! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Ellie
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.
Response from the Vendor on 04/25/2018
Leia, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Modern Luxe. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Kaitlin
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.

Liz, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m so glad that Ascension exceeded your expectations. I hope our paths cross again soon. Best, Ellie
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!
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2018
Owen, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I am thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Black & Blue Experience. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Chris
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!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2018
Allison, it was such a pleasure working with you! I knew Diverse Groove would be the perfect fit for your wedding day. I’m so glad you and everyone had a such a wonderful time! Best Wishes, Hank
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!
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2018
Meredith, thanks for sharing your kind words. I am so glad that The Royal Suits exceeded your expectations. I hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, Ellie
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.
Response from the Vendor on 02/26/2018
Katie, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and we are thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with TFC Band. Please stay in touch! Cheers, ECE

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!

Danielle, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved Legacy. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
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.

Lindsay, it’s great to hear that your clients wedding day was amazing and that everyone loved Surround Sound Band! It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2018
Margaret, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that JAVA exceeded your expectations. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE.
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!!!

Allie, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved Blue Label Band. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/31/2018
Dina, thank you so much for the review! You guys are awesome. I loved working with you for your big day and I am so glad you enjoyed the band! Jefe and the other members of Blue Label had a blast and were honored to be apart of your wedding. Al...

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!

Brittany, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved Java. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2018
Priscilla, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Black and Blue Experience. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Larry
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!

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!

Lisa, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE
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!!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2018
Amanda, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that Big Baby Band exceeded your expectations. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE
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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2018
Sara, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and we are thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time. Please stay in touch! Cheers, ECE
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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2018
Maggie, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved We Got The Beat! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Ellie
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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2018
Emily, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that Mo Money exceeded your expectations. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE
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!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2018
Kristen, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved the Shimmer Band! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Hank
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!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2018
Erin, thanks for sharing your kind words. I’m so glad that the Royal Suits exceeded your expectations. I hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, Ellie
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!
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2018
Samantha, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time the Royal Suits. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Ellie
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!
Response from the Vendor on 12/21/2017
Pamela, thanks for the kind words. It is always great working with you and your clients and we really appreciated the opportunity to work with you on your own wedding. We are so glad that you and your guests loved The Root Doctors. Best, Scott ...
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!
Response from the Vendor on 02/13/2018
Katie, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that the band exceeded your expectations. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE
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!

Camille, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Ellie
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!

Morgan, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved The Business. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2017
Heather, thank you so much for the amazing review on Funktion 11! It was such a pleasure working with you throughout the process, and I’m so happy to hear that the band exceeded your expectations and was able to really impress your guests! They...
sure know how to make the dance floor packed, and the band had an awesome time keeping everyone entertained all night. Wishing you all the best, Megan
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!

Shelly, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that the Business exceeded your expectations. Thank for sharing your kind words. I hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, Ellie
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!
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2017
Lori, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that Smile band exceeded your expectations. We hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, ECE
Working with EastCoast Entertainment was such a delightful experience. Hank was so prompt with all his responses and answered all of our questions quickly and carefully. Additionally, we would have never found our band without Hank's suggestion. Our band was incredible. It is hard to put into words just how much we loved working with them. We had so many people come up to us during the wedding and after telling us how incredible our band was. I cannot recommend The Business enough!!! Jim and his crew made our wedding so memorable
Response from the Vendor on 10/17/2017
Gracie, I knew you would love the Business! You were an absolute pleasure to work with, and it was an honor to help with your wedding day!! Best wishes to you! Thanks again, Hank
Easy to work with, helped us find a great band. They personally knew all of the bands so could provide actually commentary and advice about each one.
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2017
Dave, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and we are thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with the band. Please stay in touch! Cheers, ECE
Planning a Wedding is a stressful process. When it came to hire a band I looked to East-Coast Entertainment for advise, direction, pricing and the right fit for our group. Everything was a match. The band "Oh No Stereo" was professional and the perfect band for our daughter's Wedding. They were on time, played brilliantly and we're a hit with everyone. I received many compliments. When you have so many details and decisions to make for a Wedding you can be assured East Coast Entertainment can take care of you.
Blue Label was AMAZING!!!! I've never been to a wedding where literally everyone is up on the dance floor all night. We had 210 people and everyone danced the entire night. We had so many people tell us that night and call us the next morning to say it was the best band they ever heard. From the beginning they made sure to customize a set list based on our likes and dislikes but still also read the crowd to adjust as needed. The set list was perfect and they were so much fun. People from 3-88 were up on the dance floor. We had people ask for their information the next day to hire them for other weddings and were shocked that they didn't take any long breaks like bands tend to do a lot at weddings.
They even let the groom do an impromptu Garth Brooks sing-a-long at the end. They made our night so perfect and we cannot recommend them enough. Jefe performed acoustic at our cocktail hour as well which was phenomenal and started the party off the right way! The best band you could ask for and SO talented. A Must Pick!! - especially if you are a University of Delaware or Dewey Beach Alum
10 STARS. Blue label is the best band for your wedding. You don’t have to look any further. We booked Blue label for our daughters wedding after to listening to them at a Wedding show. We knew immediately that this was “The” band for us. Our daughter worked with the coordinator and later on with the band and it couldn’t have been a greater experience for her and her fiancé. The day of the wedding came and they literally had us dancing all night. They are incredibly talented and a fun group. We had so many great comments from our guests and family, they were blown away with how good this band really was. From the MC/DJ who led us in and made announcements to the great songs that they delivered it couldn’t have been any better. They must have run out of business cards because everyone loved them. Blue Label will make your wedding the best day ever for your son or daughter and I highly recommend them for any function or wedding.
We had To The Max perform at our wedding - they rocked!! They are so talented, and they got everyone out on the dance floor! I got multiple compliments from our guests about how great the band was. Vaneisa was great at announcing everything(entrances, dances, cake cutting) and was so friendly and fun to work with. The consultant at ECE who handled the contract was very helpful and quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 10/05/2017
Amy, so happy to hear you and your guests loved To the Max and I know they had a blast performing for your special day! Thank you for the kind words and I wish you all the best! - Megan.
No regrets from this former bride - Blue Label was absolutely amazing! I cannot say enough good things about this band. We had the best night ever dancing the night away and our guests could not stop talking about how good they were. Blue Label was so easy to work with, accommodated every request we had, and were extremely professional. They even learned two new songs for our parent dances! If they are available, do NOT hesitate to book them. I would hire them again in an instant!
Ellie Schwarz was wonderful to work with! She helped us look through potential bands within our budget that met the style of music and engaging personalities we were looking for. We picked Shimmer for our wedding this September and were beyond thrilled with their talent and performance!
Amazing band and ECE was so easy to work with. I highly recommend them and the Next Level Band!
The 919 band out of Raleigh, organized by ECE, absolutely MADE our wedding! Their energy was infectious, and they didn't take a break the entire night! The lead singers had a ton of range and performed everything from Frank Sinatra, to Motown, to Backstreet Boys. The dance floor was packed, and I received so many compliments on their performance. I may be biased, but it was the best wedding band I've ever heard!
Response from the Vendor on 03/29/2018
Emily, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved The 919 band. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
East Coast Entertainment is the best company to work with on the East Coast (no pun intended). I use them in my corporate event planning job and chose to use them in my personal lives for my biggest event yet - my own wedding! They have tons of amazing bands, DJs, whatever you need in all different price ranges. They will not disappoint you! There talent is always on time, well dressed, organized. As a matter of fact they are typically the ones asking for me for the event run-of-show so they know how to plan. They always read the vibe of the crowd and play appropriate stuff. Seriously, they are the best. Shout out to my rep. with ECE Chris McClure - he is truly a rock star but so is everyone else with their team. They are simply the best!!

Kalen, thank you so much for the kind words, it was an honor to have Sol Fusion perform for your wedding day. We love working with you in your professional career and we were thrilled to be able to be a part of such an amazing day. Thanks again...

East Coast Entertainment was reliable and easy to work with. I shared my budget, and they helped provided a range of bands within it. They also featured the band we ultimately picked, and they completely made our wedding reception! We had a blast and the whole evening ran smooth, thanks to the guidance and security that East Coast Entertainment provided.
Response from the Vendor on 03/29/2018
Ambra, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests enjoyed the band! It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE
Hunter with EastCoast was such an amazing asset and truly listened to what we wanted in regards to our band. He gave us options and helped us walk through them. As much as I could brag on him, I could say just as many great things about the band - Oh No Stereo was AMAZING!! Everyone (of all ages) loved them. We had a blast and got so many compliments on them. A big thank you to all of EastCoast for our amazing reception.
We hired TRADEMARK through EastCoast Entertainment for our daughter's wedding. We had used them once before and were entirely happy...and, if anything, this time was better! I can't recomment TRADEMARK enough! They had people dancing on the dance floor who I usually see seated at a given event. Totally fun and engaging. You can no doubt spend a lot more money, but you won't get a better sound, better vibe, more fun, or a more packed dance floor than they will provide. James is attentive and interested in his client's needs and very adaptable. We are still getting compliments on the band months after my daughter's wedding. Stacy at ECE was also a dream to work with. Call them!!
Response from the Vendor on 05/07/2018
Ann, it’s great to hear that your daughter's wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved Trademark! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Stacy
ECE exceeded our expectations. We booked both bands and DJ's and were extremely happy with the performance of both. We had an amazing wedding in Asheville, North Carolina. Mr. Potato Head, DJ Scientific and the string trio helped in making for a great weekend with friends and family!!
We had a great experience working with Kaitlin at EastCoast Entertainment for our recent wedding in Lake Tahoe, CA. Kaitlin helped us find the perfect band for our event – Surround Sound. They were phenomenal! My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Zack and Crystal and the entire band. The group was professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. And most of all – they are extremely talented and played their hearts out to make our wedding truly unforgettable. The band even learned a special “2nd Line” song (a New Orleans tradition) to kick off the festivities. And then they played for 3 and a half hours straight – no breaks, no intermissions, just an all out party. The day after our wedding, we were told repeatedly by our guests that Surround Sound was the best band they had ever seen. We could not agree more. Work with EastCoast, work with Kaitlin, book Surround Sound. You will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 08/07/2017
Craig, Surround Sound Band had an amazing time with you and your guests at your wedding, and we are so honored to have been a part of such a special occasion for you and your families. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and ...
we wish you all the best! - Kaitlin
The Java Band was AMAZING!!!! The saxophone and guitar player were out of this world! The whole band put on an INCREDIBLE show! My guests are still talking about them!
We could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding. Working with East Coast Entertainment was very smooth and Jeff was very thoughtful in his preparation of his set list and last minute details before the wedding. Not to mention an INCREDIBLE job at the wedding itself. I can't tell you how many guests commented on how it was the best band they'd ever heard/seen at a wedding. (No joke!) There was so much energy from the very start, and it's exactly what we hoped for. I really appreciated the band learning a new song for us (On the Street Where you Live) and (I was told) they even practiced through headphones before the reception so that my dad wouldn't hear and it wouldn't ruin the surprise. So so thoughtful.
I was really excited to hear that Blue Label plays in public (Dewey!) so that we can make a point to get out and see them again.
I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Label to couples for their big day!
I worked with Kaitlin Sweeney through East Coast Entertainment to hire Modern Luxe Band to play at our wedding. Kaitlin was there to answer any and all questions prior to the wedding getting closer. As the wedding became closer, I was in contact with the band coordinator, Ian. He was also wonderful to work with. He was in constant communication via phone and email and made sure he understood all of the details of our wedding (timeline, songs, etc.). I literally emailed him multiple times with crazy song requests and wanted to personalize the special dances. Not only did the band honor all of my crazy requests, but exceeded my expectations. They learned all the songs I wanted them to learn from the ceremony to the reception! They even included voicemails from my now hubby into our first dance. They had everyone on the dance floor the entire time and all of my guests are still raving about how incredible they were. Some of them even said they want their contact information for them to use at their own events. I cannot rave enough about this entertainment company and band and could go on and on about how amazing they were. They made our wedding unforgettable, and I would be happy to speak with anyone directly to tell them in person that they NEED to hire this band to play at their wedding to make their day fun and memorable!

Angela, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved Modern Luxe! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Kaitlin
Ellie was so wonderful to work with. She always responded promptly to any email/question we had and made things easy for us. She also found us the perfect band for our wedding! Would highly recommend using ECE!!

Lainie, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I’m thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time. Please stay in touch! Cheers, Ellie
ECE helped us get the right band for my daughter's wedding. They were easy to work with. You just give them your price and the type of music you prefer and DONE!
I worked with Rebecca in Raleigh and she was GREAT! She was very attentive through picking out a band and communicated with me up until the day. I recommend working with Rebecca.
Response from the Vendor on 07/20/2017
Hunter, thank you so much for the kind feedback. I’m so glad that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved Punch! Best, Rebecca
DJ Chuck was the DJ at our wedding and he was amazing! He played a good mix of classic old songs to recent (but not overplayed) songs. The whole wedding day flew by to me as a bride, but I got lots of compliments from my guests on how great the DJ was and they had a great time dancing to the mix of songs. DJ Chuck was responsive, organized, and willing to work with me on first dance song and other song choices. I definitely recommend him!
