Modern Luxe (MLX) was amazing!!

Modern Luxe (which we signed through ECE --via Paula) 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 awry 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!!

Mr. Potato Head and String Poets

ECE set my wife and I up with exactly the wedding band we were looking for in Mr. Potato Head. Our guests raved and the band catered to (in my opinion “refined” and in my wife’s opinion “weird”) taste in music. But they had something for everyone and their versatility kept the dance floor hopping the entire night.

String Poets also provided wonderful ambiance for our ceremony and it was great to be able to add a lot of customizations (eg how many musicians, what songs, live music during cocktail hour).

Party Rockers Band

Greg and the band were unbelievable! So fun, so much energy. They made the party awesome. I have been getting texts from all of the guests telling me how much fun they had and how great the band was. I'm so grateful to the Party Rockers for making my daughter's party magical. We had seen them two times before, but they really outdid themselves this time. They were even better than I remembered.

ECE For The Win!

Loved working with Jenny at ECE and our wedding band For The Win. You all did an amazing job. We really appreciate Kevin working with us to adjust the timeline and the style of music given some competing challenges with wanting a dinner where people could talk and a much more concert like portion. You balanced that challenge very well. The MC did a wonderful job managing the flow of the evening as well. I personally (the bride) had so much fun during the last set--when you all completely upped the energy and had more than 50% of the group out dancing the entire time. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how good you all were and the lead singer's voice. Our guests loved it so much they asked for an encore! We're so grateful yall rolled with that and made it happen--it just added to the concert vibe we wanted for our night. Thank you so much for the excellent excellent job--you all were the centerpiece of our reception and did not disappoint--you exceeded our expectations, which is remarkable because we never saw you perform (other than online videos) before the reception itself!

Highly Recommend!!

Paula from ECE played a big part in making our wedding awesome. We originally booked a band before COVID-19 and had to move our wedding date twice. Paula was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire experience. Her professionalism and how she handled moving the dates twice was incredible. She also recommended an absolutely incredible band that everyone loved. I’d recommend Paula’s services to anyone.

The life of the party

Paula of ECE recommended Patrick Zurn for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Patrick was so helpful- he also did our lighting for the venue! Paula was the best! She even recommended some other vendors for us as well. She truly knows the wedding industry. Patrick was the life of the party!! He kept our guests on the dance floor all night! I, the bride, never left once I got out there! We have had so many compliments on our amazing dance party! Thank you ECE, Paula and Patrick!!!

Uncle Jessie was exactly the band we were looking for

My husband is a musician but wanted to sit back and enjoy the day, so he worked with Uncle Jessie to have his band play just at the start of the reception, with COVID-safe protocols in place. We always knew we wanted our wedding to feature 90’s and early 00’s covers and Uncle Jessie was the perfect fit. With both female and male lead vocals depending on the song, they wowed our guests and made us feel like this wedding reflected our style and taste in music. So many of our guests came up to us by the end of the evening to complement us on selecting Uncle Jessie!

Wedding date - 10.10.2020

Paula was great to work with!

I loved working with Paula. She is very knowledgeable about the bands and has great ideas for other fun additions to the festivities. She is quick to respond to any questions as well. Thank you Paula!!

Great communication and understanding

Although we haven't had our wedding, (we unfortunately have had to change the date twice due to COVID-19) ECE (specifically Paula) has been very responsive and understanding of the situation, making the process as easy as it can be in a tough time. We can't wait to have Modern Luxe play at our wedding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
