EastCoast Entertainment

Amazing talent and FUN! Everyone was wonderful to work with! They made the night so special and we are grateful to have had them be a big part of our special day.

Steve with ECE was amazing! He was so responsive and helped us pick the perfect band for our wedding. Big City Rhythm was UNREAL! Everyone stayed on the dance floor all night long and we still have people talking about it over a week later! They were interactive, accommodating, and overall just so entertaining!

East Coast Entertainment helped us find the BEST band for us, Right To Party! When I say they were the absolute best, I am not kidding. They played the most fun mashups I have ever heard. There were times that the ENTIRE party of 250+ guests was up dancing. East Coast made the process smooth and easy for us. I cannot recommend both of them enough.

We are so happy that we hired DJ Daniel for our wedding reception. Daniel is so easy to work with and the night could not have run more perfectly and smooth. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a young and experienced DJ who you can count on for a memorable and seamless night!

We had ATL Groove Factory as our band at our wedding last month and they were FANTASTIC! My husband's number one request when planning our wedding was to have an awesome band and to say ATL Groove Factory delivered is an understatement. Normally at weddings there is a point at which the band officially "opens" the dance floor and invites all guests to start dancing. At our wedding, guests were practically leaping out of their seats to dance right when they finished eating, before we had planned to officially open the dance floor. The band kept the energy high all night and knew how to interact with the crowd to get everyone going. They were just incredible and truly made the entire evening. Thank you ATL Groove Factory!

I had the privilege of being a guest at a recent wedding with ECE and I have to tell you - from the minute we walked into the ballroom and the band was playing music, they had me! Their energy, their stage presence, and their talent - WOW!! - they blew me away! As we ate dinner and the band played, everyone at the table kept saying “when can we get up and dance?? The music is too good to be sitting in our seats!”. Then when it was finally time to dance, the dance floor was packed the entire night! My feet were sore and my shoes came off - it was just that good. The band had so much fun with the bride/groom and the rest of the guests - they were simply outstanding! I highly recommend them for local and destination events. I honestly cannot remember having that much fun at a wedding and it was all due to the band!!

We hired Men of Distinction! Where to begin?! My first conversation about song selections went splendidly with David Kitchings. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional! As the wedding date neared we made a few selection changes…no problem at all. At the last minute we changed the song for last dance - done! I didn’t think they would have the song…silly me, they know EVERY song. Wedding reception night - can I tell you how many people said “Who is that band!” “ What’s the name of this band!” “This is the best band I’ve ever heard!” No, I can’t tell you how many people asked because I lost count! Men of Distinction knocked our socks off! Every member of the band had a really cool vibe and magically connected with the crowd of 350+ I’ve had texts telling me people are SORE from dancing so much. Soul, Hip Hop, Beach, Motown - no matter what Men of Distinction played, our dance floor was packed. What an awesome New Year’s Eve WEDDING for our daughter. THIS IS THE BAND YOU WANT. THIS IS THE. AND YOU NEED.

My husband and I saw Java at a wedding in September 2021, and we knew instantly that we wanted to have them play at our wedding someday. Fast forward to October 2021, we got engaged, and Java was one of the first vendors that we booked! Java played at our wedding in September 2022, and they were even better than we remembered! They were so gracious to play all of our first dance songs, allow my husband’s grandfather to play a song on the guitar with them, and even play an extra 15 min longer than originally planned. Once Java began playing for the night, the dance floor was never empty! They played a perfect mix of classic and pop songs that everyone could sing along and dance to. They know how to keep everyone dancing, and they allowed the bride and groom to get on stage, which we loved! We’ve had countless guests mention that Java was the best band they’ve ever seen and that our wedding was one of the most fun they had ever been to. I’m 100% sure it’s because Java was absolutely crushing it! I cannot recommend Java enough; they are incredible!! I hope we get to see them again one day! Thank you so much Java & thank you so much ECE for being great to work with!

the Night Years band were a last minute, wonderful surprise for our daughter's wedding. Two weeks before the wedding, the band that we had hired wrote to say that they were not coming!! Major panic stations, but due to the phenomenal work of our wedding planner and the hugely, amazing, talented Night Years Band, the wedding went off without a hitch and the band not only showed up and came through for us but did so as one of the best bands I , and all who attended,have ever heard at a wedding-WOW

We had DJ Mike for our wedding and DJ Ben came along as well! They did a great job with playing music that we enjoyed and took requests from guests. They were fun and engaging the entire night with everyone! I would use them again in the future!

We LOVED working with the Right To Party in every aspect! From our initial phone call to the last song of our wedding night, they were professional, friendly, and SO TALENTED AND FUN!! I am still blown away by their talent and their MC was the reason our wedding ran so smoothly. Our guests were dancing the night away the whole time and the band knew how to read the room and keep the energy up. I am so grateful for them and appreciate everything they did for us.

Steve is the best - so kind and easy to work with and super responsive!!! I highly recommend!

Steve at EastCoast Entertainment helped us find the perfect band for our wedding. Tru Sol Band was everything we were hoping they would be and more! They were high-energy, engaging, and extremely talented. We loved this band and would highly recommend them to others.

The Rising Tide was tremendous throughout the whole wedding planning process, then absolutely blew our guests away the night of our wedding! Jay took the time to have a few phone calls before the big day as we got to know the band and they got to know us. At my wife's secret prodding, The Rising Tide also learned and surprised me with a song to close out the night. They’re great musicians and top-notch professionals. Our guests kept complimenting them--they got the young ones dancing and a 97 year old grandma moving, could not recommend more!

Party rockers got my guest up dancing immediately and had them dancing all night long! They sounded terrific, they interacted with my guest, I would have them at all my events.

We hired the Perfect 10 band before the pandemic started and when we had to postpone my daughter's wedding last May, they were one of the first vendors we made sure were available to rebook for this year! We could not have asked for a better band at the reception! They played for 3 hours straight and were super high energy and so much fun!! Leslie, the manager who is also one of the vocalists, is the easiest person to work with and so, so nice! The horns and rhythm section were amazing!! The vocalists kept the crowd energized and even did a costume change. I can't recommend them highly enough and I wish I could give them an even higher rating!!! Perfect is right!!!

EastCoast not only found us a fantastic band for the wedding, but worked with us through two COVID postponement. The band they found us - Sleeping Booty (great name) were excellent, and everybody loved them.

Steve Harry at ECE was recommended by Geno Matesi at Charleston Place as the best source for professional djs. Steve put us in touch with Ken Markovits who was, as promised, professional and talented. He coordinated everything with Charleston Place. He provided music at request of bride and groom that was appropriate and conducive to conversation during an outdoor cocktail hour and elegant seated dinner. Ken was great at moving the evening schedule along, keeping to the bride and groom’s requests timing wise. He more than exceeded our hopes! Perfect!

The Rising Tide helped make our wedding day all the more spectacular. Incredibly talented, easy to work with, timely, and organized. Our guests complimented us on the music all night! Jay is the best. He was so great to work with and was always available to touch base leading up to the big day. We planned a choreographed dance to surprise our guests and the band learned our song and played it perfectly. It was so special to be able to dance to a live performance. There aren’t enough good things to say, they are amazing. Worth every penny!!

ATL Groove Factory was such a fun band! They played the best variety of music and had the crowd dancing the entire time! They were so friendly and fun and interactive with the crowd! Highly recommend!

The Hot Sauce Band exceeded our expectations for our wedding in Isle of Palms, SC! All of our guests were raving at how awesome they were! I have NEVER seen my dad dance and he was out on the dance floor busting his moves. We couldn’t have been happier and would recommend them to anyone wanting a talented and fun band!

Steve Harry with ECE was fantastic to work with! He responded quickly to emails and texts and was very helpful in helping us find the PERFECT band! He even followed up after the BIG DAY to see how the wedding and reception went. I would definitely use ECE again. We have 1 daughter so won’t be planning another wedding reception-but I’m thinking for my 4 sons...band at the rehearsal party will be a must!

MVP was incredible from the moment of booking to the last dance! They were professional , on time and so much fun! From playing the oldies to modern music, they are top notch! We heard them several times and knew when our daughter got married, they were our band!

In a nutshell, Southside Station, the band we hired through ECE were tremendous. Truly, I can not tell you how many guests told us SSS were the BEST wedding band they had ever heard, and this wedding was the most fun one they had ever attended. And we had guests from CA, MA, WA, CO, and in between. The band was so flexible about learning new songs for us, changing the date from April to August due to covid, and making the FOB's surprise song with the band just unforgettable. And the very best of surprises for the bride and groom! Thank you, thank you!

They did a fantastic job! I had to postpone my wedding and change venues because of Covid, and the band was so nice throughout that process. They came on August 22, 2020 and blew it out of the water. They played all of the first dance songs perfectly (we have some odd first dance requests), and then we all danced until the night ended! So fun!

We booked Men of Distinction thru East Coast Entertainment for our daughter’s wedding. From start to finish Steve Harry (ECE) was wonderful! Both Steve and the band leader were quick to respond, very organized, and easy to work with. Since she was married during the pandemic, our plans were ever-changing. East Coast had a great COVID plan in place and Men of Distinction followed it to a tee! Even with “social distancing”, the band engaged the guest and kept everyone on the dance floor. I would not hesitate to book them again!

They were amazing! We used the Root Doctors, and they made the wedding! They are awesome performers and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. Would definitely hire the Root Doctors and Steve again!

We were just married on 06/20/2020 and selected a local option, The Rising Tide, to play at our event! Despite COVID-19 related issues, Scott and the band were able to accommodate our changes. Jay, who is the coordinator for the group, was AMAZING! He and his group went above and beyond to make our special song requests perfect and to respect our music choices as related to their set list as well. He was available by phone to discuss our music preferences and vision for the evening. On the day of, they even included a gift, which was our first dance song typed up and framed! My guests are still asking about them and we couldn't say enough how easy, flexible, positive, charismatic, and energetic they were! Thank you guys and Scott for helping us coordinate and arrange our special day!

We love working with Scott at East Coast Entertainment. East Coast Entertainment represents a wide variety of ceremony + reception entertainment options, including bands, DJs + acoustic groups. Scott takes the time to connect with our couples + offers entertainment options well-suited for their musical preferences, personalities, venue + budgets. In addition to providing helpful recommendations for our clients, he is also familiar with our venues’ policies ensuring musicians are well prepared for performance.

First rate business!! Extremely accommodating , professional and dependable! Our agent , Steve Harry could not have been more helpful ! Our reception was a huge success our wonderful ECE band - Continental Divide! Just the sound we wanted , played all of our song list ! The band manager was extremely easy to work with , and all of the band members were ultimate professionals . Truly talented !! Highly recommend Continental Divide !!

Dave Landeo and the Sol Beats were fabulous! They engaged our wedding guests throughout the evening. Everyone loved the music and energy! Folks are still talking about how much fun they had.

We used EastCoast Entertainment and one of their new bands, The Rising Tide, for our ceremony and reception entertainment. We were very happy with the band. They sounded great - the lead singer has a beautiful voice! The band was very easy to work with, reliable, and responsive to communication. They graciously learned some requested songs, including our first dance, which sounded great. We got several compliments on the music and the band's unique style. Really happy with our choice!

I loved working with EastCoast Entertainment and the band Envision, all were professional and accommodating. The band was wonderful and everyone enjoyed the night dancing away!

We hired PUNCH for our wedding in Raleigh and they were a HIT. East Coast Entertainment and PUNCH were great to work with, and helped us ensure all details for our wedding reception went on without any issues. They had such a great attitude the whole time, kept the energy up, and even let some of our rowdy guests join them on the mic. They are PROs and know how to host a FANTASTIC reception. You cannot go wrong with PUNCH. Thanks East Coast Entertainment and the band PUNCH for everything you all did to make our day amazing!

My wife and are so happy we found EastCoast Entertainment and the band Right to Party. From everything leading up to the wedding to the actual big day, they were very professional and easy to work with. Their flexibility to create a playlist with your own touch/taste meant a lot to us and it shows during the reception. A name has never been more appropriate – with Right to Party, you truly are getting the best party you can ask for. I’m a big believer in the Band making or breaking the wedding, and ECE and Right to Party certainly made ours. Everyone was on the dance floor for the entire 4 hours of the reception, and you could see the guests disappointment when they played their last song. All our friends and family continue to talk about how great the band was. They were an easy 10 out of 10. ECE & RTP, thank you for being a huge part of our perfect wedding!

Finesse was an excellent band! Best reception ever!!!

EastCoast Entertainment was great to work with. They were very professional and easy to work with. The band was excellent. Everything went well!

Perfect 10 Band Turns It Up to 11. We were originally supposed to be married on September 15th, 2018, but Hurricane Florence had other plans. One of the things we had to rearrange due to our date change was our band. We worked with Steve at ECE, he already knew what qualities we were looking for in a band and supplied us with some options right away. We went with Perfect 10 Band and now I can’t even fathom a world in which they were not our wedding band. Not only were they incredibly easy to work with and totally professional, but their talent was off the charts. From the singers, to the choreography to the musicians, even the sound guys felt like a part of the show. Our guests’ eyes were glued to the stage and their feet were glued to the dance floor. (This is a metaphor, of course dancing would require people’s feet to move.) Not only did the band members get off the stage and dance among our guests, they also invited me, the bride and several groomsmen up to the stage to perform with them. And I don't mean in a drunkenly singing along to the chorus of “Don’t Stop Believin’” kind of way. I mean they trusted us to sing and perform full songs along with the band’s perfect accompaniment. It was a thrill for us and our guests. In all honesty, I was a little gun shy about getting a wedding band, I feared over the top stage antics and corny covers but Perfect 10 had NONE OF THAT. Their arrangements were spot on, their harmonies impressive and their version of “All I Do Is Win” melted everyone’s face off. They brought the party. They made the party. They kept the party going until the venue made us stop. We would hire them again in a second and recommend them to all of our friends.

I was a little confused initially when working out the details regarding the rider, contract, etc. with the EastCoast team, but it was worth it in the end. We signed with the band Java. I will never experience a better live wedding band performance I don't think!!! They went above and beyond for us. Their bus broke down on the way down from NC and managed to pull together two separate rental cars, hired a Charleston PA crew to set up immediately, and the first half of the band was there just in time to do our first dance! None of the guests or bridal party even realized that half the band was missing. They were just so amazing and I can't say enough good things about them. When the full band did arrive, the party went from an 8 to a 10. I got an additional female singer - totally worth it! She did Crazy In Love and one of my "Beyonce-obsessed connoisseur" friends found me just to tell me that the female singer sounded just as good as Beyonce. I told them to just go with the feel of the crowd and they did amazing. The latter half of the night was filled with the guests on the dance floor and singing along with the band. They even got down on the dance floor with everyone and were interacting. So much fun!

AMAZING! The Root Doctors were incredible!

Steve from ECE was great to work with. We were planning a wedding from out of town and explained what we wanted in a band as well as our budget and he came back with about 10 options. After watching videos of each band we decided on the band PUNCH. Best. Decision. We. Made. PUNCH absolutely KILLED it and exceeded our high expectations for live music. If you're trying to find live music for your wedding, go with ECE and book PUNCH asap-you won't regret it!

ECE was perfect! Our contact with our band was very easy to get in contact with and always responded to emails and calls very quickly! They made this whole process easy and worry-free!

We booked the Finesse Band out of Columbia, SC. They were fabulous! We got so many compliments on their performance and guests who asked for their information they loved them so much. The band was interactive, got us on the dance floor and were able to tune into our guests so the music they played was in line with what we wanted. I highly recommend the Finesse band for anyone seeking a band for a wedding or event.

We booked Diverse Groove via EastCoast Entertainment and loved them! They were very friendly and communicated with us often before our big day. They made our reception so fun and played perfect music for our crowd. Everyone was dancing and having a great time! Would highly recommend Diverse Groove!

The Royals Band was fantastic! Such great energy, fun, entertaining, and very talented! They even got people who don't usually dance on the dance floor. I had a number of people ask me who they were or commented how great the band sounded. We didn't want them to stop... but unfortunately, encores don't work at weddings since the bride and groom have to make their exit. I highly recommend this band for a great party! ECE was very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this band for a good party!

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!
