    AMAZING wedding band

    East Coast Band was the highlight of our wedding at Lands End in Sayville! From the first song to the last, they brought an incredible energy that had everyone on their feet. The dance floor was packed all night, and the music was absolutely perfect. They played all the hits we love and kept the party vibe going strong. So many of our guests commented on how amazing the band was. Their timing throughout the night was perfect. They truly made our wedding night everything we dreamed of and more!

    East Coast Band is the best wedding band on LI!

    East Coast Band went above and beyond to give us an amazing day at Land’s End. They played all different genres of music and they had my entire wedding dancing by the end of the day. Paul accommodated any requests I had ahead of time and the band learned our first song which was “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by Queen. People raved about the band and it honestly made our wedding great. 10x better than a DJ! People are still talking about it months later! Go with East Coast Band! I have gone to see the band play live at Lazy Lobster and at other locations with friends post wedding-that’s how good they are! You will not regret hiring them for one of the best days of your life!

    The best band

    We had East Coast Music as our wedding band, and they truly made the night unforgettable! CC and Showtime, the lead singers, brought an amazing energy that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. CC was also our main contact during planning, and she was fantastic—calm, approachable, and flexible with every request.

    The music was beyond anything we could have hoped for. They had an incredible range of songs, from Bruce Springsteen to Beyoncé and The Beatles, and they knew exactly how to read the crowd. Every single guest was raving about them, both during the night and for weeks afterward. The band even accommodated a special request to let the bride’s brother sing a couple of songs, which was such a meaningful touch.

    The dance floor was packed the entire evening, with guests of all ages dancing and singing along. East Coast Music was absolutely the highlight of our wedding, bringing an energy and joy that made the night feel electric. We can’t recommend them enough—if you’re looking for a band that will keep your party alive, this is it!

    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!

    Best 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!

    A 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!

    A no-brainer

    No notes. Unqualified ringing endorsement: 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a wedding band.
    They had every person at our wedding up and dancing the entire time, and so many guests went out of their way to tell us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen or heard.
    From ceremony to cocktail hour and through the entire reception, everyone was flawless.
    They learned custom music for the ceremony and performed our first dance and parent dances expertly. They incorporated the handful of songs we definitely wanted to hear while avoiding the types of music we didn’t want while also reading the crowd and consistently delivering hits that kept the energy high. CC did a great job as emcee and brought incredible vibes. Paul was a pleasure to work with - extremely kind and always keeping things light. We did not need to micromanage anything as we were confident he had everything under control. He definitely delivered and everything was seamless!

    Five 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 -- summer 2024 wedding

    Live music was one of the things we were most excited about for our wedding, and the best band we've ever heard was East Coast, who performed at the groom's brother's wedding back in 2019. We danced all night then and knew we had to hire the band for our wedding this summer. And they exceeded our high expectations! We received endless compliments about the music East Coast performed (especially star piano player Henry and the two fabulous vocalists) from our family and guests, and the general consensus is that the set list was flawless.

    John and Paul were great collaborators in advance, taking our tastes into consideration, and we loved the set list so much we asked for it after the fact to keep it as a playlist. The team at East Coast was very professional before and during our event, and they helped us throw a kickass party. We cannot recommend them enough.

    Amazing band

    Of all the guests we've spoken to since our June 2024 wedding, every single one of them has mentioned how incredible the East Coast Band was. Friends have already requested their information for their own upcoming weddings. Not only are they super talented, but also incredibly easy to work with, checking in with us leading up to the event, and creating a perfect set for our intergenerational crowd. The dance floor was packed the entire night. (That's not an exaggeration. We've gotten some photos back where not one person is in their seat, including our 94-year-old grandmother!) In addition to hiring the 10-piece band for our reception, the East Coast Band also provided our ceremony music, a jazz trio for our cocktail hour, and a DJ for our after party. They have RANGE. We had selected really traditional, classical songs for our ceremony, everything from disco to country for our reception, and dancehall and throwback hip hop for our after party, and they delivered all night long. A great highlight was the way they performed our first dance song, as well as our parent dances. From the horn section and the rest of the amazing musicians, to the singers, and CC as our MC and bandleader, The East Coast band absolutely made our wedding the most fun night of our lives.

    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!!!

    Christine is AMAZING-this band will make your wedding! Must hire!

    If you want to have a memorable and epic wedding, hire East Coast band. They made our wedding! Christine is awesome. She is so easy to work with and kept me calm throughout the entire process. The playlist was fantastic and they really get a sense of what the crowd is like to make sure it's a fun party. Shoutout to Eartley who has a voice of an angel! Magical night! Can't say enough great things about all of them!

    Best 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!!

    Best Wedding Band!

    East Coast Band made our wedding night! They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night which was a dream come true. We got married at Peconic Bay Yacht Club on the North Fork and they worked seamlessly together. We didn't have a wedding planner and didn't have to worry at all about the band setting up and knowing exactly what to do. Paul is super responsive and honest. Many of our friends and family asked for the band name for their future events. They were awesome!

    BEST band you will ever hear - even outside a wedding!

    Paul and the band performed for our NYC wedding at the Essex House and I cannot recommend enough!!! Absolutely CRUSHED it.
    The amount of messages I've gotten from guests, in the week(s) following, flooding my inbox with the BEST things to say about these guys is honestly hard to keep up with!

    We had a bit of a different song list we were hoping for...they not only took it on, while maintaining our expectations in a reasonable and professional manner, but they blew every song out of the park - mix was mostly classic rock (heavy on Bruce and horn songs) but really all over the spectrum (ample Sinatra, Shania Twain and even a number of niche Irish Pub drinking songs mixed in for our Galway family in town). They even let my one cousin perform with them and sing Steve Earle's "Galway Girl"! Best version of "Livin on a Prayer" and "Jersey Girl" we'd ever heard (coming from a huge Irish NJ based fam of Boss and JBJ Lovers....that's a praise like no other and not given lightly)

    The best way I could sum these guys is in two recaps:

    1) There were people on the dance floor (all night, at that) that I/my parents have never seen even bounce along at a single wedding in the past (and we've had many in our fam)

    2) My dad, who's seen over 1000 live concerts (including 15+ of the Stones alone), and two of my professional musician cousins all unanimously voted East Coast to be the best live band they'd ever seen (as in best of ANY bands, not just wedding, that they've seen in 60+ years of shows)

    BOOK IMMEDIATELY! :-)

    Best 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!

    First off: A+ Absolutely fantastic!

    We used East Coast Band for our July 2023 wedding and they completely made the party! EVERYONE was dancing for nearly the whole night, and we received so many compliments both the night of and afterwards. They were very good at reading the crowd with music selection.

    We went with a 10 pc band because my husband really wanted the brass section. Also really made the party! CC was our point of contact and producer/bandleader and she was really great throughout the process. Gave us good feedback as we were planning and was very accommodating of some specific music requests we made.

    We went to The Red Lion to see them perform and that’s when we knew we needed to book them. They had the whole crowd going, and we also felt they were a very cohesive band that frequently work with each other (unlike some other bands we checked out that seemed to have a ton of artists per instrument who didn’t all necessarily work together often.)

    East Coast Band was one of the few vendors that delivered perfection. Can’t recommend them enough!!!! I know bands can be expensive vs a DJ, but it really was a fantastic investment in the night.

    East 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!!

    East 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!!!

    Book Blaze the City

    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!

    Highly recommend!

    Having East Coast Band play at our NYC wedding in September was the truly the highlight of our wedding reception! CC was the MC of the night and she was absolutely wonderful. She had an amazing voice, great energy, and knew exactly the right songs to play throughout the night. She was so friendly and wonderful to work with, we could not recommend more!
    We are not exaggerating when we say that the guests were on the dance floor the ENTIRE night, singing and dancing together. Months after our wedding, we are still hearing from our friends and family how incredible the band was and what a fun night everyone had. In addition to the great talent and knowing all the right songs to play, East Coast Band was so professional and pleasant to work with.

    Thank you so much CC and the East Coast Band for making our wedding the most fun, memorable night for us!

    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!!
