    Great Band!

    We are so happy we found this band. They did an outstanding job. They worked with us to learn new songs. Their sound was terrific and many of our guests commented on how well they played. They are talented musicians, and we would recommend them to anyone.

    So helpful and accommodating in the process of postponing!

    My fiance and I had to make the difficult decision to postpone our wedding from August 1st 2020 to July 31st 2021 due to COVID-19. Riverside Lights and East Coast Entertainment was more than accommodating in making this switch. They were very prompt in their communication and allowed me to switch with no fee and no hassle. I highly recommend them to anyone and can't wait to hear them at my wedding in a year!

    Awesome Band!

    Riverside Lights was fantastic. From Ken’s acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour to the full band during the reception, we were moving and grooving. So many guests afterward told us what a great band we had, and we couldn’t agree more. Ken and Riverside Lights had the barn floor bumping, and Ken did a great job MC’ing throughout. Our photographer kept saying she had never been to a wedding that was so on-time, and that was partially due to Ken.

    Search No More...Riverside Lights Rocks!!

    Everything about our experience with Riverside Lights was exceptional, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Ken worked closely with us to troubleshoot acoustic challenges at the venue and conducted thorough sound checks to ensure a stellar performance. He was responsive by email and text, always prompt and professional. The band even learned two new line dances to fit our country-western theme and honored every special request. I am a musician myself, and they hit every note perfectly and sounded even better on covers than some of the original performances. What really sets this band apart, however, is their awesome, unflagging energy on stage and their ability to respond to their audience. They are in sync and clearly have polished their performance style, showcasing musicians who both sing and play mulltiple instruments, gorgeous harmonies, a strong and dynamic female lead vocalist, and an impressively varied and appealing set list across a myriad of genres. You will not regret hiring this very talented group for your special event. Riverside Lights MADE our party!

    Riverside Lights Review - awesome!!

    This band was amazing at my wedding!! Everyone had so much fun dancing and singing along. All my guests were raving about how good the band was and asking all about them because they want to hear them play again. They were all super kind and flexible and set my nerves at ease when I was super stressed with wedding planning. I highly recommend Riverside Lights! The booking company East Coast Entertainment was wonderful as well, very helpful, professional, and sincere. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you!

    Absolutely amazing! Could not recommend them highly enough!

    Riverside lights was absolutely amazing! We loved having them at my husband's birthday party and EVERYONE at the party told me they LOVED the band. I could not recommend them more highly. They will make your party/wedding/event a night to remember! I will definitely hire them again for a future event!

    Flexible, Upbeat & Fun!

    We used Riverside Lights for a Battle of the Bands for our members at our recent annual convention. The band was great to work with leading up to the event and even made a promo video for us to post on social media. Their performance was full of energy and fun! No matter what type of music you like - you will love this band!

    Stop! You've Found Your Wedding Band Right Here!

    My wife and I hired Riverside Lights to play our summer of 2019 wedding, and they exceeded our already high expectations. Ken is an absolute pleasure to work with and a real professional musician. We had multiple calls leading up to the wedding, and Ken came to each one prepared and also with his own ideas that we had not thought about previously!

    Riverside Lights played our ceremony and our reception. They set the tone for the evening perfectly and even learned a few songs for us that they did not know previously! Riverside Lights had all of the guests up and dancing and having a blast!

    My wife and I had multiple guests tell us after the wedding how great the band was and that it felt like they were at a concert with all their close family and friends.

    All in all, we could not recommend Ken and Riverside Lights enough! They are professional, prepared, and they rock! If you are looking for your guests to have the time of their lives and for you to have the pitch-perfect memorable wedding ceremony and reception - hire Riverside Lights!

    Incredible for all audiences!

    We were looking for a live band for our summer wedding that would get people out on the dance floor and keep them thcomingwere. Let me say they exceeded all my expectations. I had family and friends coming up to me all night saying how much they loved them. Highly recommend!!

    A Band Everyone Will Enjoy

    Yes, everyone enjoyed their music. The female lead vocalist was cute and engaged with the crowd well. Make sure you ask them to provide music for when the band takes breaks in advanced.

    Perfect for Holiday Parties!

    Cannot recommend Riverside Lights enough! We hired them for our corporate holiday party and they were amazing! They had everyone out on the dance floor having a great time. Their set list had a little bit of everything which was perfect for our guests.

    Loved them at my wedding!!!!

    Riverside Lights was amazing at our wedding reception and exceeded all expectations! They made the reception so fun with their incredible talent, energy, and connection to guests. They had way more people up and dancing than I expected and I will always cherish those memories! We loved their wide range of songs and take on them, including a song they learned specially for us. It was a nice surprise to have Ken on saxophone for some songs!! Additionally, he did an excellent job with enthusiastic introductions/ announcements. The band was so sweet when I talked with them at my wedding, and easy to work with in planning leading up to the event. We have heard several praises of Riverside Lights (and even band name inquiries) from guests since the wedding and I am so glad we had them there!!!

    Riverside Lights played at our wedding on September 1, 2018, and they were absolutely phenomenal! Ken and the entire band are so incredibly talented! Their blend of country, rock and pop had everyone out on the dance floor all night long and our guests are still raving about how great they were! Ken was super responsive prior to the wedding and we can’t thank them enough for their flexibility and helping us through some last minute changes. Out of 5 stars, I would give them a 10! Absolutely recommend them a million times over!

    Riverside Lights...Thanks for the fantastic music you provided for my daughter's wedding. We all had a GREAT time! Your song selections, sound, lights, instrumentals and voices were excellent. Guests of all ages (3 - 70 years old) were dancing and enjoying the vibe. The dance floor was packed throughout the evening. Thanks for combining your expertise with our requests to make dancing at the reception a FUN and memorable occasion!

    Awesome wedding band

    We loved having Riverside Lights play at our wedding in early November. The dance floor was packed pretty much all night, and the band played a great mix of rock, country, and a few modern "dance" songs. This was exactly what we were looking for. The band was really upbeat and fun, engaging well with our guests all night. They sounded great! Ken, the band leader, took our list of top songs and made sure these were played during the night. We were nervous when we first booked as we had never heard them in person beforehand (and at that point they didn't have reviews yet), but they exceeded our expectations!! We had the best time dancing all night! Would highly recommend to couples looking for a good blend of classic rock, country, and "top 40."
