    Best young DJ!

    We are so happy that we hired DJ Daniel for our wedding reception. Daniel is so easy to work with and the night could not have run more perfectly and smooth. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a young and experienced DJ who you can count on for a memorable and seamless night!

    ATL Groove Factory is a must!

    We had ATL Groove Factory as our band at our wedding last month and they were FANTASTIC! My husband's number one request when planning our wedding was to have an awesome band and to say ATL Groove Factory delivered is an understatement. Normally at weddings there is a point at which the band officially "opens" the dance floor and invites all guests to the dance floor. At our wedding, guests were practically leaping out of their seats to dance and began dancing right when they finished eating, before we had planned to officially open the dance floor. The band kept the energy high all night and knew how to interact with the crowd to get every one going. They were just incredible and truly made the entire evening. Thank you ATL Groove Factory!

    EastCoast Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Casey! Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It sounds like a magical night and we're so honored you chose ATL Groove Factory to be a part of it. Best, ECE

    Men of Distinction

    We hired the band Men of Distinction!
    Where to begin?! My first conversation about song selections went splendidly with David Kitchings. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional! As the wedding date neared we made a few selection changes…no problem at all. At the last minute we changed the song for last dance - done! I didn’t think they would have the song…silly me, they know EVERY song.

    Wedding reception night - can I tell you how many people said “Who is that band!” “ What’s the name of this band!” “This is the best band I’ve ever heard!”
    No, I can’t tell you how many people asked because I lost count! Men of Distinction knocked our socks off! Every member of the band had a really cool vibe and magically connected with the crowd of 350+ I’ve had texts telling me people are SORE from dancing so much. Soul, Hip Hop, Beach, Motown - no matter what Men of Distinction played, our dance floor was packed. What an awesome New Year’s Eve WEDDING for our daughter.

    THIS IS THE BAND YOU WANT.
    THIS IS THE. AND YOU NEED.

    Amazing, responsive,

    We used ECE to hire a band for our wedding. They were super responsive throughout the entire process and hired the best band possible for our wedding day! Highly recommend using them. Steve was amazing to work with and BOUNCE! was the most amazing band. Our guests didn’t leave the dance floor for the entire 4 hours!

    Java Band with ECE

    My husband and I saw Java at a wedding in September 2021, and we knew instantly that we wanted to have them play at our wedding someday. Fast forward to October 2021, we got engaged, and Java was one of the first vendors that we booked!

    Java played at our wedding in September 2022, and they were even better than we remembered! They were so gracious to play all of our first dance songs, allow my husband’s grandfather to play a song on the guitar with them, and even play an extra 15 min longer than originally planned. Once Java began playing for the night, the dance floor was never empty! They played a perfect mix of classic and pop songs that everyone could sing along and dance to. They know how to keep everyone dancing, and they allowed the bride and groom to get on stage, which we loved! We’ve had countless guests mention that Java was the best band they’ve ever seen and that our wedding was one of the most fun they had ever been to. I’m 100% sure it’s because Java was absolutely crushing it!

    I cannot recommend Java enough; they are incredible!! I hope we get to see them again one day! Thank you so much Java & thank you so much ECE for being great to work with!

    Outstanding experience with DJ

    We had DJ Mike for our wedding and DJ Ben came along as well! They did a great job with playing music that we enjoyed and took requests from guests. They were fun and engaging the entire night with everyone! I would use them again in the future!

    Highly Recommend!!

    East coast entertainment was super helpful in helping us navigate wedding band options. We ultimately went with The Band Punch and WOW. BEST BAND EVER. They did an amazing job with having everyone on the dance floor as soon as they started. They were so much fun and were so engaged with the crowd. Highly recommend!! You will not regret including them on your big day!

    A perfect evening and wonderful music!

    Geno Matesi at Charleston Place recommended Steve Harry at ECE for the best source for a professional dj. Steve put us in touch with Ken Markovits. Perfect!
    Ken is a professional and talented dj. Attentive to our daughter’s and her husband’s wishes Ken provided appropriate music, conducive to conversation during an elegant dinner. Volume of music to conversation was ideal. From my perch as MOB I heard so many “oh I love this song” during cocktails and dinner. Ken was great at moving the evening schedule, keeping to our daughter’s request timing wise.
    Best of all my 7 year old granddaughter now does a great dj imitation. With one finger to her right ear and her head bobbing to the music, she plays her iPad like a pro! Thanks again, Ken for a wonderful evening.

    EastCoast Entertainment's reply:

    Nancy, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved DJ Ken Markovits. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Love to hear that your granddaughter now tries to play DJ on her iPad. :) Best, ECE

    Best reception ever thanks to the band!

    With all the challenges of planning a pandemic wedding, Steve Harry, at ECE was a pleasure to work with! He responded quickly to emails and texts. Steve was very helpful in taking what we thought we wanted in a band and pulling the bands he thought would work! We had to move the reception from a Country Club to our yard and Steve helped brainstorm what would work best. I would definitely use ECE for any events that you are in need of a band!

    Fabulous Chaz resource at ECE and band!

    We gave Steve Harry budget and size parameters and created ~12 bands for us to review. From that list, we selected Southside Station band, and they were tremendous. Truly, so guests told us Southside Station were the BEST wedding band they had ever heard, and this wedding was the most fun one they had ever attended. And we had guests from CA, MA, WA, CO, and in between. You were so flexible about learning new songs for us, changing the date from April to August, and making the FOB's surprise song just unforgettable. And the very best of surprises for the bride and groom! We can not highly recommend SSS enough!

    EastCoast Entertainment's reply:

    Rebecca, this is wonderful to hear! Working with you was a pleasure and I am thrilled that you and your guests had such a great time with Southside Station. Please stay in touch and I would love to help plan your next event! Cheers, Steve

    Perfect wedding band- will get you and guests dancing

    The band was a hit! They were fantastic with announcements, and the music was spectacular! They did a wonderful job with the first dances, and then, we were all on the dance floor until the end. They were also very nice and easy to get in touch with- even during a pandemic, wedding postponement, and venue change.

    East Coast Entertainment provided excellent service to help my daughter, her fiance, and myself find the band for their wedding. Steve Harry, the ECE representative was so good to recommend the type of band and music we were looking for. He provided us with several bands to preview, and the band we chose, The Michel Jons Band, proved to be AWESOME! The dance floor at the reception was packed all night, and our guests had so much fun! They were not only a great band, but also great entertainers! At the end of the night, almost all of our guests were still at the reception with sparklers to send off my daughter and her husband. this was primarily due to how entertaining the band was...no one wanted the night to end! Thank you Michel Jons for being so great to work with, thanks to the band for such great music, and thank you East Coast Entertainment for helping to make my daughter's wedding the wedding of her dreams!

    Sherri, thanks for sharing your kind words. I am so glad that Michele Jons Band exceeded your expectations. I hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, Steve

    You NEED Right to Party!

    We used Right to Party for our reception, and they were better than we could have imagined! They were interactive, played the kind of music we had requested and kept the guests on the dance floor the ENTIRE night! Absolutely awesome way to celebrate our marriage!

    The Business is THE Best

    We first heard this band at a wedding the weekend after our daughter got engaged. They were absolutely fantastic that night. We never stopped dancing and the dance floor was never empty the entire night. We went up to the leader, Jim Arendale, at the end and said we really wanted him to come to our wedding 9 months later. The bride and groom listed to a couple of sample tapes and gave them two thumbs up. Our daughter’s wedding was a week ago and The Business did not disappoint. The dance floor was packed all night long and people are still talking about how great the band was. We might have to find out their schedule and be wedding crashers so can keep up the fun times. Beware though, if you engage this band you might need to increase the size of your dance floor because it will be full!

    Overall great experience

    Scott at ECE was great to work with. Very professional, personable, and understanding of our wants and needs. I provided a budget and want we were looking for. He quickly provided a list of several band to chose from. We went with “The Business” and they absolutely killed it! Everyone was commenting on how great the band was!
