Sara Sent on 09/29/2020The best of the best!
East Coast Band was not only amazing on the day of, but incredible to work with leading up to our wedding. Our main point of contact was Paul who is awesome! They were the first vendor that we booked for our original date--booked back in December of 2018 after hearing rave reviews from a family friend and then going to see them ourselves, we didn't even look or go to hear any other bands play.
Our very large wedding was originally scheduled for May of 2020, but due to COVID-19 our plans had to change. When we reached out to East Coast about our new plans they were incredibly accommodating and worked with us on the date options we had with our venue to figure out which date would work best to get the same configuration we had originally settled on. After all of that replanning- we changed out plans AGAIN once we realized a 275 person wedding wasn't going to happen in November of 2020. So, with our third plan in place,- a much smaller, 45 person celebration- and with only 1 month notice we went back to Paul who was eager and excited to work with us on figuring out a new set up for the much smaller event.
Our crowd was particularly cautious given the pandemic, and our venue did not allow dancing- so we worked with Paul to figure out what would work for our long dinner party.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding and man did they deliver! Who knew a dinner party could be so much fun-- they absolutely NAILED our first dance song, took requests from the crowd and even let my husband's father play the guitar with them for a number of songs. They were great at keeping the crowd engaged, even at an unconventional wedding, and EVERYONE commented on how great they were. People were Impressed and had a great time, and we couldn't be more grateful and happy that we chose
East Coast Band to work with for our wedding. If you're looking for an awesome band who can adapt to any situation, are easy to work with, who very much LOVE what they do, are down to earth, and fun to be around--- seriously look no further -

We had the East Coast Band play at our Wedding in September and we have nothing but great things to say! The dance floor was packed all night, the music was amazing and our guests still are raving about how much they loved the band. We worked with CC and Tom to set up everything and they made the process smooth & easy! -

Matthew Sent on 10/05/2025ECB is the Best!
ECB was amazing for our wedding. They were super responsive from the start, very organized on the business side of things, and absolutely rocked the show at the wedding. We gave them songs we liked which was great, though they knew the ones to get the crowd going and everyone had a blast. we used them for the after party as well as they brought a DJ for us once they wrapped up, who was awesome as well. if you live in NJ or NY and are looking for a band, ECB is a must you wont regret them. So talented and fun. -

We hired East Coast Band for our 225-person outdoor tented wedding this September, and they had EVERYONE on their feet the entire night. We worked with CC, the lead singer and producer, and she and the crew created the most incredible atmosphere. Their talent is unmatched, and it’s clear they genuinely love what they do. They made our night so special—we couldn’t have asked for more! -

Jillian Sent on 09/02/2025Barn Wedding Recap
We heard East Coast Band at two of our closest family/friends' weddings, and they were on the top of our list to try to book for our wedding. Our guests and we couldn't have had a better time. Their sound in the barn was off the charts and the dancing didn't stop. Our guests said the song list was perfect. We worked with CC as the band producer and leader, and she was extremely attentive and accommodating to all of our requests and needs while planning and also during the wedding. She was very easy going and made us feel calm and at ease when reviewing our song requests and the venue accommodations. Her voice and range is also a highlight of the performance. Other singers and musicians who performed were Shotime, Amos, and Brendan, and they were all incredible and turned the party up for us! We got so many compliments how awesome the band was, and we were so thrilled with the turn out on the dance floor. -

Carly Sent on 08/26/2025Did not disappoint!
JUST DO IT!!!! Went to 2 weddings that used East Coast and knew we had to have them at our wedding. It was the best decision we ever made. The music was outstanding, the perfect mix of oldies and modern music, and they listened to what songs we definitely did not want playing at our wedding. Paul and the band members were so helpful and made it smooth sailing. 10/10 would recommend! They do a great job of getting everyone on the dance floor and keeping them there. -

Jessica Sent on 08/19/2025Amazing Wedding Band!
East Coast Band was absolutely incredible! They kept the dance floor packed all night and brought so much energy to our wedding. The music selection was perfect for all ages, and they read the crowd beautifully. Our guests are still raving about how fun and lively the reception was thanks to them. Professional, talented, and truly unforgettable—we couldn’t have asked for a better band! Christine was a pleasure to work with as the MC, as well as the other band members Miriam, Drew, Tom, and Kate. Everyone sounded amazing! -

Max Sent on 04/08/2025Put on an amazing show at our wedding
Paul and the rest of the East Coast Band were super easy to work with and incredibly helpful in the lead-up to our wedding. Paul helped coordinate everything with the venue and other vendors we were working with. During the event itself, the band put on amazing show that had our guests dancing and enjoying for the entire evening. Can't recommend them enough! -

Best Wedding Band EVER!
We cannot recommend East Coast Band enough! From start to finish, they helped make our wedding day unforgettable. Paul was fantastic to work with – so professional, responsive, and really took the time to understand what we wanted for our big day. Big Mike absolutely nailed it with the playlist! He curated the perfect mix of songs that kept our guests on their feet all night long. Even months after our wedding in August, we still have friends and family talking about how much fun they had and how great the music was. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and they truly set the tone for an epic celebration. If you want a band that will make your wedding the best night ever, East Coast Band is the way to go! Thank you for making our special day even more amazing! -

Mike Sent on 10/28/2024Best night ever
We couldn’t have asked for a better band than East Coast Band for our wedding in the Poconos! They turned our backyard wedding into a full-on concert, and all of our guests have said it was the best band they’d ever seen. Insanely talented vocalists with unmatched energy had our dance floor literally overflowing! Not only did they keep the energy high, but they also fit perfectly into our aesthetic, looking polished and professional for our black-tie wedding.
CC, the producer and band leader, was incredible to work with leading up to the wedding and ensured everything flowed seamlessly on the day of. Shotime, Amos, and Sasha exceeded all expectations – Instagram and TikTok do not do them justice! They even captured priceless moments from their perspective on stage, giving us unforgettable memories of the dance floor in full swing. East Coast Band made our wedding epic, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking for a band that will turn your wedding into the best party you’ve ever been to! -

Laura Sent on 10/27/2024A Night to Remember!
We could gush on and on about East Coast Band (ECB)! Music and entertainment was one of our top priorities for our wedding, so we wanted to find the perfect match. ECB has a roster of incredibly talented musicians that really know how to work a crowd. This band is the real deal!
Working with Paul was a dream — he’s so personable, funny, and kind. It was clear from our first call with him that ECB was the right choice. Not only did we look forward to our calls with him, he was also very responsive and detail oriented throughout the planning process. We ended up engaging ECB for a 10-piece band, DJ, stage lighting, and photo booth.
In terms of process, we had an initial call with Paul to discuss our vision and he provided various proposals and pricing options. As we closed in on the wedding, Paul sent several questionnaires to help tailor the sound/overall vibe to our order of events (e.g., band song list, details for the ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner/dance portions of the night, DJ song list, etc.) and coordinated setup specifications with the venue and our wedding planners. Paul and the ECB team accommodated so many of our specific requests (e.g., vocalist duet with a member of our wedding party). Our guests were floored when ECB brought on a vocalist that sang two Chinese love songs (in perfect Mandarin!), and the band even learned to play our last dance song so we closed out the night with bang. So many of our guests have remarked that ECB is the best band they’ve ever seen perform at a wedding. (Mission accomplished!)
ECB exceeded all our expectations in terms of professionalism, quality of service, and overall value. We would recommend ECB to others without hesitation, and certainly plan on catching their sets at the Red Lion in the future. Go with ECB if you want a night to remember! -

Lauren Sent on 07/24/2024Five stars isn't enough!!!!
Five stars isn't enough for the East Coast band - they absolutely knocked it out of the park for my wedding. From the set list, the musical talent, the stress free planning, I cannot thank them enough. Paul was absolutely amazing to work with; they added so much to my day, it would not have been the same without them. Trust you're getting an unbelievably talented, fun and worth every penny experience with East Coast!!!! -

Best Band Ever!!!
Hiring East Coast Band was the best decision I made! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night, and they made this bride's dreams of singing with the band come true! Big Mike, Miriam and Kenny were out of this world, as was the rest of the band. Big Mike did an amazing job emceeing and they all welcomed me to sing and rap with the band...and let my brother-in-law play sax! I can't tell you how many people asked who the band was b/c they were so amazing. Cannot recommend enough!!! -

Megan Sent on 02/16/2024Best band ever
My husband and I are big live music people, and knew we wanted to book a band. East Coast Band is the best band EVER and a total must book! The entire dance floor was packed the entire night. Everyone (literally everyone) was up dancing and singing all night long. The atmosphere was amazing, the band was SO talented, they were such a highlight. All of our guests left raving about East Coast Band. We haven't stopped hearing "best wedding ever", and East Coast Band is a huge reason why. When they said 'last song' I actually looked at my husband and we both were like "how is it already over"?! We had the 9 piece band, and worked with Tom. Tom was super easy to work with, answered all our questions, and made the process very easy. The day of the wedding, they completely blew away any and all of our expectations. They are SO talented!!! They played the ENTIRE night long, they didn't take one break. We literally danced the entire night, my voice didn't recover until days later. Prior to the wedding they sent out a preference sheet, and they stuck to all our requests and even learned songs we requested. 1000000% book this band to have the best night ever!! -

Sue S. Sent on 10/20/2023Best band out there - East Coast Music & Entertainment
Outstanding is the only way to describe EAST COAST! The party didn't quit until the last note was played! The band electrified the crowd with music and personality playing fabulous covers to all our favorites and then some! On top of that, the bride and groom requested a song for their first dance that the band learned and may have done better than the original! A delight to work with from booking until the last note was played, East Coast is guaranteed to get your party into gear! -

Shana Sent on 09/18/2023East Coast Band - best part of our wedding!!
East Coast Band is truly so talented and incredible at what they do. The song selection and transitions are amazing and they definitely know how to get the party started! We had the most fun wedding and I can fully attribute that to East Coast Band. They had everyone out on the dance floor dancing their hearts out. We received so many comments from our friends and family about how amazing the band was at our wedding. Additionally, they had to learn our first dance song as it’s not a popular song and they did a fantastic job. They were on time setting up, all dressed professionally, and sounded out of this world. CC was our lead singer and MC and she did such a great job. She even remembered to play a specific song that I asked for (in memory of my father) which really made my night. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to use ECB as our wedding band and I highly recommend them to any bride/groom looking for an amazing band to create the most epic dance party and most memorable wedding! Thank you, East Coast Band, for making our wedding the best night of our lives. We can’t imagine our wedding without you!! -

Esther Sent on 05/03/2023East Coast Band surpassed all expectations!
East Coast Band surpassed all of our expectations the day of our wedding. They are absolutely incredible and we and all of our guests were completely blown away. If you want to guarantee an amazing wedding, with all your guests dancing and having fun, this is the way to go. From beginning to end, they were amazing - from intro call with Paul, their manager, and working with him on our vision to the actual day, it was flawless. Huge shoutout to Miriam Kenny and Eartley who absolutely crushed every single song they sang. Cannot recommend them enough!!! -

We used ECE to book our wedding band, Blaze the City! Our entire experience was wonderful from start to finish! We had a small wedding of 35 people and they for sure made the reception not boring! Nisha even sang for our ceremony, and it was honestly magical, she has such beautiful voice! Thank you again for making our wedding memorable Blaze! -

Book This Band NOW! You will not be disappointed
We hired the East Coast Band for our 10/1/22 wedding in New Jersey. We initially heard about this band through a family friend who saw them perform at a wedding they had attended. Because we planned the majority of our wedding during the covid lockdowns, we didn't have a chance to see the band perform live before booking them as our vendor. They were honestly one of the best decisions we could've made for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and wedding reception. Our guests are still raving about our wedding band more than 2 months later. If you have the chance, book the East Coast Band now! They are incredible, extremely talented, and keep your guests dancing all night long. Paul, CC, John and the rest of the band are an absolute pleasure to work with and make the planning process super easy and stress free. 10/10 recommend this band if you want to have an unforgettable wedding with some of the most talented musicians around!! -

Before my husband and I even met, he had already decided that he wanted to use East Coast Band for his wedding after hearing them at his friends wedding years ago. We could not have made a better decision! Paul and Melissa made the entire process so seamless, and the band was the best part of our wedding! Our guests still have not stopped raving about the band, and some of them have even asked where they perform so they can go see them! If you want to have the most fun, energetic, and talented musicians who are able to get everyone dancing the entire night, East Coast Band will not disappoint! -

10/10 HIGHLY recommend
It is hard to put into context just how much ECB elevated the experience for our guests at our wedding. “Wedding band” does this group no justice, as the feel the entire night was that you were at a live concert. We would have changed our date, venue, and country to accommodate the band as the most important factor of our wedding. The way that they feel off of the crowd and run with it is truly incredible. Not only did we have guests tell us it was the best wedding they had been to, one person told us it was the best night of their life (and it wasn’t even a family member). Paul is someone who truly gets it, and takes the time to listen to what kind of event you are trying to put on. Christine and Kenny are two of the most talented lead vocalists we have ever heard, as evidenced by the fact that the dance floor was at full capacity the entire evening.
Our only regret is that this will be our only marriage and that we can only do this once!

Julia Sent on 08/03/2021Had everyone on the dance floor all night!
East Coast Band just performed at our wedding on Thursday and it was honestly the best part of the wedding. From start to finish, the band has worked with us to meet every want and need. Paul is amazing-very professional and helpful. Whenever I had a question, Paul would get back to me right away. Big Mike’s voice was just magical, and so were the women. We decided to do vocals during the ceremony, and it made it so much more magical. They chose the right singers in the band for specific songs, and it truly brought us to tears how good it was. Everyone was asking for our band because of how good they were. There was a huge range of songs, and they definitely took our suggestions to heart. People were on the dance floor allll night, even asking for an encore-which they of course did. Thank you so much East Coast band for making our wedding truly perfect! -

Mary Sent on 06/09/2021Fantastic band
My husband and I cannot recommend East Coast enough!! After doing a long search of other bands, we weren't able to find anyone else who had the same quality, professionalism, and reasonable price. They were absolutely ELECTRIC at our wedding. There's no other way to describe it!! Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night. We are still getting compliments from friends and family, young and old, about how amazing their music was. Besides their fantastic performance, they were so easy to deal with and genuinely great people to work with. We had to switch our venue from LI to NJ due to COVID, and they were so accommodating and professional about the change. East Coast is a MUST book!! -

Lauren Sent on 10/30/2020They got us!
We never got a chance to review the band immediately after our 2016 wedding because life got really busy. We first heard the band at my brother’s wedding in 2014 and knew that we wanted to hire them - we looked no further. They were a pleasure to work with, kept us happy and dancing the whole night and - best of all they totally captured our quirky musical tastes from pop to Israeli to Billy Joel to James Taylor and even some Broadway. Highly recommend! -

East Coast is the BEST BAND THERE IS! They played our wedding last year and they were absolutely fantastic. We got compliments on our wedding (specifically our band) for months following the event. We had a rocking party; the dance floor was packed and hopping the entire night, thanks to East Coast. People were rarely in their seats because they just HAD to dance. I am a professional musician myself, so I am a tough critic, and they are AMAZING. Incredible musicians and know how to keep a party hopping. GET THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING ASAP!!!!!!!! -

Karen Sent on 10/01/2020The band for our wedding
East Coast Band played for our wedding in April of 2019 and our guests still tell us how great they were and definitely want to see them again. We learned about East Coast when they played at my cousins wedding and fell in love with them instantly. We attended one of their showcases and were able to speak with them which confirmed for us how wonderful each member is personally and professionally and knew we had to have them at our wedding. We still follow them to see them play any opportunity we can. East Coast Band is the BEST! -

Sadly our wedding was cancelled due to coronovirus, but East Coast was an absolute joy to work with during these unfortunate times. They were professional and truly made this whole process bearable. We chose them as our wedding band because my brother used them back in 2016. They were absolutely amazing. So amazing that we got so many family/ friend suggestions to use them. Highly recommend using them! 10/10! -

Danielle Sent on 11/14/2019Absolutely AMAZING - book this band!
For full disclosure, I did not book this band. Although had I known about them I would have!! I contacted one of their lead singers, Kenny, through a mutual friend a couple of weeks before my wedding to sing my first dance song as a surprise to my husband. He was AMAZING! He created a track specifically for it, came right into the crowd as he sang, and started the reception off on an incredible note. I still have friends and family talking about what a cool experience it was. I hope someday I do go to a wedding with this band because that will be one hell of a wedding! -

Mike Sent on 11/06/2019Completely Nailed It
We couldn't have been happier with our experience with East Coast Music & Entertainment. We were looking for a band that would work with us to not just play the typical, same old wedding songs you hear at every wedding, but rather a more personal playlist that really spoke to us and our guests. Paul was very responsive and flexible with our plans, and it showed. I felt like they offered a tremendous value, especially compared with some of the prices I had seen from other vendors. Highly recommended. -
Jeanne Sent on 10/24/2019
Excellent in every way!
Thanks to East Coast for providing a wonderful night of entertainment at our daughter's wedding! Their music was fabulous and kept everyone on their feet! One of my favorite surprises was when the band took breaks (which were amazingly brief!), and their "Bruce" musician (not sure of his name) played "If I Should Fall Behind" as background music. It is one of my favorite songs and I just loved that addition!!
CC was great at getting us organized and running the intro's! Kenny and CC were so much fun and we loved their interaction with the guests on the dance floor. They were both great performers, as were all the members of the band! The horn section was amazing without being overpowering! The day after our wedding event our friend contacted East Coast to book them for her son's wedding!
Again, thanks to Paul for his patience and guidance throughout this process! We all totally enjoyed the evening!
Best to all, Jeanne -

Jill Sent on 10/19/2019Amazing Band! We couldn't have been happier
We hired East Coast Music & Entertainment as our wedding band and we couldn't have been happier. They came recommended to us by close friends who used them for their wedding. Paul and his team were terrific to work with throughout the whole process. We loved that we could see the band play at a local bar ahead of time; that sealed the deal. We really liked the fact that we could tailor the number and type of musicians to fit within our budget and our desired musical needs. Some other "bands" that we spoke with simply pulled together musicians as contractors as needed, but East Coast Music employs a smaller roster of musicians that work together on a regular basis. The band had great energy, got the guests up and dancing, played great music, and were interactive with guests on the dance floor. East Coast Music provided an amazing band that everyone loved for a reasonable price.
