Souljam band

Besides marrying the love of my life with all of my best friends and family, souljam was the best part about my wedding! They were incredible and such a crowd pleaser. I wish they could have played until 3 am because everyone would have stayed for them. I want to also recognize them for making the sound needs available at my actual ceremony when my string quartet failed to. 11/10 recommend. Thank you souljam!!!

Heads Up Penny Rocks!!

We had Heads Up Penny for our wedding reception and they were absolutely fabulous! Not only did they perform our first dance songs that were not on their song list, they also kept people on the dance floor all night. Super accommodating group and worth every *Penny*!
You’re missing out by not booking these guys!

Best wedding ever - punch band

We had the band PUNCH play at our wedding at Wrightsville Manor in Wilmington, NC. They absolutely killed it all night with every song they played. They were incredible easy to work with and made it the best experience possible. 10/10 recommend them for your wedding!! They kept every guest on the dance floor the entire night!

Chapel Hill Wedding Band

We had a great experience working with East Coast Entertainment for our wedding band. Rebecca was very helpful in the process of discussing our music preferences, providing band options and answering our questions. We were absolutely blown away with the band - Better By Tuesday - and could not have been happier with having them be part of our wedding.

The Band Punch

We could not give a higher recommendation for The Band Punch. After hearing them at other weddings my daughter knew that was the only band she wanted and they did not disappoint! Our dance floor was jampacked the entire time and they were just amazing! Our guests have not stopped talking about how fun it was! If you want the best wedding reception, you need to book Punch! 15/10 review!! Nicci Smith and family

DJ Daniel Jordan with ECE East Coast Entertainment

We hired DJ Daniel Jordan to DJ our daughter’s wedding. He provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and he was fabulous! He worked with my daughter to build the playlist for our event ahead of time and was very professional. He provided great sound quality and light show, and our guests stayed on the dance floor almost the entire time! He was nice and easy to work with, and I would highly recommend using him for your next special event.

Amazing Experience and Band!

East Coast Entertainment was SO easy to work with. We worked with Rebecca T and she was fast to respond, knowledgable of the bands, and really put thought into our requests. We were able to tell her the vibe we like, and she provided a list of potential bands. We went with Night Years Band, and they were AMAZING. Dance floor was full the entire time, and we loved their mix of oldies and new music. The lead singer was phenomenal, and their light set was so cool to watch - it really elevated the whole experience. We got numerous kudos on the band selection after the wedding!

ECE’s Color the Night ROCKED

Color the Night was FANTASTIC. We had high expectations for the band and they completely blew them out of the water. Almost every guest came up to us at the end of the night to compliment the band. They put on an amazing show and the dance floor was packed all night. In addition they were super communicative and easy to work with leading up to wedding day - we are big music lovers so they let us collaborate on the set list and accommodated our requests for special dances and even sang an awesome rendition of the hora. We cannot recommend Color the Night enough, they truly made it the best wedding ever

As Good as It Gets

The Band Punch is, quite frankly, insane. As a planner, I've worked with them several times and they were a quick hire when I got engaged. There is no better band. We wanted a really fun party and Punch delivered like no one else could. Our guests talk about how amazing they are all the time! I wouldn't have wanted to have a wedding without them!! THANK YOU.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
