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!

Royal Suits was AMAZING!

The Royal Suits absolutely blew us away and were one of the absolute best parts of our wedding! Every single band member is incredibly musically talented — they all have amazing voices and are exceptionally skilled at their respective instruments. They are hands down the best wedding band we have ever seen, and we can't believe we were lucky enough to have them at our own celebration. In fact, our guests are still raving about them. Many guests came up to us during the reception to tell us they were the best wedding band they had ever heard, and guests who we never expected to see on the dance floor were up dancing for multiple songs.

Beyond their incredible musical talent, The Royal Suits were also an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire process. Rich is as kind, flexible, professional, and accommodating as could be. He was super patient answering all of our questions leading up to the big day and really listened to exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day itself, the whole band rolled with some last-minute timing changes due to weather and switched around the order of events effortlessly, handling everything like true professionals. Their emceeing was also fantastic all night long, and we were beyond impressed at how well they read the room and chose songs that perfectly matched the energy of our guests throughout the night. Every song selection felt totally perfect and on point :)

All that to say, I cannot recommend The Royal Suits highly enough - any couple would be incredibly lucky to have them at their wedding! They really are the best band that a couple could dream of.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
