Modern Luxe (hired through ECE) was amazing from start to finish. They were super responsive to all emails and calls, flexible to accommodate our ideas, came to meetings when we asked them to be there, and most of all, helped us navigate an unforeseen issue with our hotel's power source on the big day. We hired a huge band with MLX and I guess our hotel venue's power was having issues; MLX navigated these issues so well that the groom and I had no idea at the time that anything was going on backstage. They handled it like true professionals; they are the type of vendor that you want to have on your side when things go ary on your big day (which, inevitably, most of the time WILL happen). They will go to bat for you to ensure that these things do not affect you or your big day -- MAJOR kudos to them for this. They were so much fun that my husband got on the stage twice to sing with them, which they just rolled with and made into a fun memory. Our friends and family all wanted their info after the wedding. They helped us coordinate a jazz guitarist and violinist for the cocktail hour (this duo absolutely rocked! Loved their song selection), and allowed us to play a Spotify playlist through their system for an after-hours dance party even when they weren't under contract to keep performing. They genuinely just wanted to see us happy and to have a great night. Would absolutely choose them again, and you will not regret choosing them either! Thank you Ian and Janelle and the entire MLX crew!!

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 in...
teresting 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!

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!

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!

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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 f...
rom 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 bl...
ew 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!!

st 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 b...
and 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!
