A must have!

We went through East Coast Entertainment and booked Southside Station for my wedding. HOLY. COW. They absolutely rocked it!!!! The dance floor was completely full from 7pm-11pm which I feel like is rare for a wedding! Every guest was talking about how awesome our band was. I would chose them every time and you should, too! Southside Station and ECE— you are AWESOME!

What a Show!!

We had the pleasure of working with Payton Orlando from ECE. She was professional, kind, a great communicator, and always there for any questions/concerns we had. She made the process so easy for us!
We had the band, Night Years, perform at our wedding. They truly outdid themselves. They knew how to work the crowd and provided the best atmosphere we could have asked for. We received so many complements about them throughout the night. This group has true professionals performing. They were definitely a highlight of the night for us. They were also so great to work with leading up to the performance. They truly want this to be a night you will remember and work to hard to make it so. We highly recommend them!

ECE & Blaze the City Delivered an Outstanding Experience!

I would highly recommend ECE for any type of event! Ellie was amazing to work with from start to finish. She helped us find a band that fit our sound, establish a budget, and everything in between. The band brought incredible energy, kept everyone on the dance floor, and made the entire evening unforgettable. They were professional, talented, and sounded amazing. We had a violinist play at the ceremony, a guitarist for happy hour and had the entire band together for the ceremony. My wife and I can't recommend them enough and we are still receiving compliments from our guests about the music. Highly recommend ECE and Blaze the City for any wedding or special event!

Royal Suits were fantastic!

We recently had the Royal Suits at our wedding and they absolutely made the night. They had everyone on the dance floor and kept them there. So many people commented that night and over the coming days about how good they were and how much fun they’d had. If you’re thinking about booking them just do it - they are worth every penny.

The Business is WOW!

The business was everything we wanted and more. We were looking for a band to play groovy hits, especially 90s-2000s and they hit the mark. The head singers were amazing, guitarist was killer, and the sax team was perfection. Totally worth the price point. Many of our goers said it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. They also made some day of changes to make sure our day went perfect. Very professional and on schedule. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing band!

We hired Color the Night through ECE. The process was extremely smooth. Kelly Hicks was very helpful, especially as we discussed microphone options for the ceremony. They will work with you! As for the band itself, we couldn't be happier. They were excellent and played all of our favorite songs. Everyone afterwards remarked how fun the band was!
