    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 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!!

    Such a fun band...highly recommend

    We hired the East Coast Band to play at our wedding this October. I cannot recommend them highly enough! They were so much fun...so talented, great song choices, very communicative and responsive at a great value! We had such a great time and the band had everyone dancing!

    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!

    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!!

    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 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!

    We love East Coast!! We highly recommend them to all of our friends!!! They’ve played at all of our family weddings and get better every time! CC, Eartley, and Kenny Shotime are so talented and the best singing trio! CC was an awesome MC! Along with band members Tom, Jake, Mikey and Drew they kept all of our guests dancing all night long!! I Especially loved “shout” at the end of the night our guests went crazy! The energy was amazing all night long. Thank you east coast for being a part of the best night ever!! ❤️

    Best wedding band on the East Coast.

    I would recommend East Coast Music 10/10. Kenny and Christine were amazing along with the entire ensemble. They played my wedding this past weekend 10/9/2022 and they played my sisters wedding in 2019. They were even better than I remember from a few years ago. The dance floor was packed the entire night. They’re very accommodating and easy to work with. I and my guests can’t say enough good things about this band.

    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!!

    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!

    Best Wedding Band

    We saw them play at a friends wedding 2 weeks after we got engaged and had to have them at our wedding! East Coast Band was amazing to work with- making it a seamless process and really understood our vision. They play every type of music and brought the party to life. Everyone from every age group and musical preference has complimented us on them. 1000% would recommend

    Amazing band to get everyone dancing!

    East Coast Band was absolutely incredible for our wedding in Vermont in August! They truly made the reception -- all our guests could not stop commenting on how great the band was. Would highly, highly recommend if you're looking for a good lively dance party! Paul was also great to deal up in preparation for the wedding, including a COVID delay and some unforeseen issues to deal with last minute at the outdoors, private residential, rustic location. Cannot recommend strongly enough. Thank you, East Coast Band!!

    This band is amazing! Our guests are still raving about how good they are. The entire night, the dance floor was filled. They performed a wide variety of music that appealed to all ages. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. I would definitely recommend them!

    The Best Wedding Band!

    East Coast Band is hands down the best wedding band. They are the most professional musicians that have an incredible sound and their talent made our wedding that much more amazing! Paul was a pleasure to work with and he worked seamlessly with all of our vendors to find creative solutions for our unique reception venue setup! The energy level the band brought had our guests dancing so much that the dance floor nearly caved in! The music flowed perfectly and the band knew exactly what songs to play when. They were so awesome and flexible with special requests including letting my mom sing with the band twice, which was absolutely amazing and so special for us! Gabi, Mike, and the entire band were simply incredible! We had the most fun and the best night! Our guests can't stop talking about how amazing this band is and we had friends of ours book them right away after seeing them play at our wedding! Thank you to Paul, Gabi, Mike, and the entire East Coast band for being such an amazing part of our wedding!

    CC & Eartley & co. gave us the greatest night

    East Coast Music & Entertainment performed at our wedding (June 2022) and the band was genuinely absolutely incredible! We had CC and Eartley as our two lead vocalists and they were both unbelievable, the rest of the band was spot on, the song selection and flow of the music throughout the night was just absolutely perfect. 

    We had so many people come up to us saying how insane the band was, this is the best wedding band they've ever heard. Song after song, absolutely phenomenal. 

    CC also did an incredible job MCing, she was so sweet to us and accommodating… the energy was perfect the entire night. People were dancing and loving the song selection, and the way the night evolved, the dance floor was electric. Between the two of them, and the rest of the musicians that sang, they covered every possible sound and voice so unbelievably well.

    Also a massive shoutout to Paul, the manager, for his communication throughout the entire planning process leading up to the big day. He was always accommodating and professional, and I never had any doubt that everything was being taken care of.

    Our wedding was such an incredible night, and this band was a massive part of it. Could not have been happier.

    Everyone should request CC and Eartley as their lead vocalists, I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

    Spectacular - everyone loved the band

    Wife and I had our wedding this weekend and everyone keeps writing me about the band. Paul and his team were absolutely spectacular. They made the party a party! From the very beginning, Paul was great to work with. He and his team learned a few new songs for us, they bought sheet music to a special request for the flower girls, they brought in a singer from Movin Out to sing some Billy Joel songs. They brought the energy and read the crowd wonderfully. They played one of the most robust and lively horas I've ever been a part of. I can't recommend these guys enough - every aspect of their performance was a hit. Hire them for your wedding, don't look at the other bands, and then go to bed without any hesitation that you got one heck of a party coming up.

    Best band!

    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!

    3.19.2022 Wedding

    East Coast brought the party at our wedding! They are a truly talented group and a wide range of song selections, both old and contemporary. Eartly and CC were our vocalists and they brought the house down! Paul was so easy to work with throughout the whole process. We cannot wait to see them again! Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!

    Hands down the best wedding band out there!

    Could not have made a better pick choosing East Coast! I totally clicked with Paul when we first spoke and it felt like they were the perfect match for our wedding vibe. He was amazing to work with even through us needing to change our venue due to COVID and that was really reassuring. Then, when the big day arrived - they were completely amazing! So much energy and talent all on one stage - every one of our guests told us how amazing they were and it was evident that they could totally read our crowd when even all the 80+ year old guests were out dancing alongside our flower girl and the young members of our bridal party. I would not hesitate to book them again in a second! Thank you so much!!!

    The Best Band!

    When looking for music for my wedding, I knew I wanted a band but was positively overwhelmed when looking at all the options. I am so glad I chose East Coast Band! Tom was incredibly helpful and responsive in the planning process, and was more than willing adapt timelines to help as I was planning my wedding from abroad. His expert advice helped us put together a wonderful band led by the fantastic CC! The musicians were all so fantastic and talented. The pianist for the ceremony was able to learn an instrumental version of the song I wanted for my processional with no problem. They were able to put together a fantastic setlist using just a few genres and songs we highlighted. And everyone (guests, my husband and myself, even my 90 year old grandmother!) could not stay off the dance floor. We even had guests from the neighboring wedding come up to compliment us on how amazing our band sounded! If you love a dance party, you definitely want East Coast Band at your wedding!
