    Night Years

    Great band (Night Years) and great agent (Brad Strouse) Almost every comment that I have heard about the wedding references how great the band is, so I really appreciate the time and effort. We had a blast!

    Professional and fun from start to finish!

    Amir was FANTASTIC! He was very professional throughout the entire planning process and the day-of. We appreciate his flexibility and willingness to communicate with our venue contact as some details with our venue changed last minute. Our guests had a BLAST at our reception and Amir was definitely a major reason why. No one wanted to leave the dance floor. Amir listened to our requests, was great with our guests, and played all the right songs. Amir definitely made our reception memorable and we are so glad we went with him and ECE.

    Amazing Experience!! 10/10 Recommend

    Everything went perfect with the Dundies (through ECE) during our wedding weekend! They were an absolute hit with us and our guests, Danny's energy is unreal and unmatched! The Dundies were such a huge part of making our night be everything we wanted it to be and the dance floor was full and high energy all night long just like we wanted. 10/10 recommend to anyone that wants a lively dance floor all night long!

    Blair's West is the Best!

    Alison and I will be forever grateful for the show Blair’s West performed at our wedding. The band had our dance floor packed from the first song through the last, with everyone cheering for “One more song!” at the end of the night. The band brought so much joyful energy and artful musicality to the experience that we simply can’t recommend them enough. From an operational standpoint, they were ultimate professionals and helped us figure out everything from where to source electricity to coordinating the mic and equipment for speeches. From a music perspective, our guests—many of whom are accomplished musicians themselves—were so excited by the band’s incredible skills, talents, and clear love of music. They covered everything from country to the best of pop and rock from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and beyond. What a fantastic and fun night. We’ll remember it forever. Thank you, Blair’s West.

    The Absolute Greatest Wedding Band!

    We had the absolute greatest time for our wedding thanks to the Atlanta Showstoppers and EastCoast Entertainment! The band was amazing and so fun. We had seen them once before and they were even better this time around. Their energy is incredible and they brought immaculate vibes to the entire party. Everyone has told us how much they enjoyed them! ECE is an absolute pleasure to work with - they helped us find the perfect band and were incredibly professional the entire time. I cannot recommend EastCoast enough!

    EastCoast Entertainment, Inc's reply:

    Hi Speight! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and these kind words. It was such an honor to a part of such a magical evening. Cheers, ECE

    Wonderful Wedding with Vinyl Headlights!

    After I did an online search for wedding bands in Virginia and listened to some, I contacted the band Vinyl Headlights and they put me in touch with their booking agent Mason with EastCoast Entertainment to get the process started. Mason did an excellent job in explaining everything to me about booking the band. He sent me the contract and then put me in touch with the band to hash out the details for our big day. The band had a Wedding Questionnaire that I could fill out to help them get a better idea of exactly what we wanted.

    I communicated with John and Alex of Vinyl Headlights through email so we could become familiar with one another. They were very helpful and receptive to what we wanted.

    When our wedding day came, the band was at the venue early to set up, which was great! The guys knew exactly where to set up. When the reception kicked off, they were a hit! Everyone loved them and they were so entertaining. They kept the party going for about three hours. I highly recommend Vinyl Headlights to anyone looking to have a band at their wedding. Also, thank you to Mason and EastCoast Entertainment for making our big day even more special!

    EastCoast Entertainment, Inc's reply:

    Hi Ethan! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this amazing testament. We are honored you chose us to be a part of your special evening. Cheers, ECE

    A Personalized Concert

    The Dundies made our wedding an incredible, personalized concert. They were so welcoming and somehow still made the reception about us as a couple, all while playing amazing (loud, rock) songs that everyone loved. All of the guests we talked to after the wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, thanks to the Dundies. We will cherish our night forever and will travel anywhere to see another one of their shows again. Thank you to ALL of you for being such amazing musicians and making us feel even more amazing on our day.

    Extravagant!

    As a bride who had to QUICKLY postpone our wedding and figure everything out within an afternoon, ECE, especially Brad could not have been more helpful! He was soooo attentive and quick to respond AND very accommodating with our new date. They DID NOT charge us a thing, did not take any extra $$, and we still have the original DJ we chose. From the beginning of the planning process, Brad has been an exceptional help and took the time to talk to us and hear what we envisioned for a wedding reception party and I can already tell he is going to deliver! I have talked to many other vendors when planning, and they all love working with ECE and even more the DJ that Brad picked out to fit our style. DO NOT look past ECE! You have found your match in an entertainment team!

    Brad Strouse & DJ Patrick Zurn: Brad was the most phenomenal wedding director! Bring a C*vid couple and cancelling, postponing TWICE, and finally having the big day 2.5 years later, Brad stuck with us through it all! He even answered my emails on his vacation! He went above and beyond and I won’t hesitate to reach out for other events. Anyone looking MUST book through them!

    Patrick not only stayed with us for the long haul, but he was so committed in planning calls and very easy to work with! He took our dreams of music and SHOWED UP! There was not one song that someone wasn’t on the dance floor! Patrick gave us the most special gift of entertainment for our long awaited wedding day and we will never forget it! Our guests have non stop talked about how amazing the DJ was!! A night we will be reliving over and over.

    Very Professional

    The InsideOut band was phenomenal at our wedding! They exceeded our expectations and kept our guests on the dance floor all night long! You will NOT be disappointed in hiring this professional band! Brad from East Coast Entertainment took the time to make sure everything was on point!

    Amazing DJ Experience

    We booked Elliott Ness to be our DJ for our wedding and he did not disappoint! He was awesome to work with and did an amazing job. He played a wide range of music and kept the dance floor filled all night! The google doc that he sent us to fill out is what my type A bride dreams are made of! The day went so perfectly thanks to Elliott!

    Just amazing all around!

    East Coast Entertainment was very helpful throughout the process. They were very responsive and gave us insight into the right band for us. Trademark was the BEST BAND ever! We have never seen so many people on the dance floor at a wedding, all night long. They truly made the night the best night of our lives, and we could not be more appreciative. The songs were amazing, the lighting and acoustics were incredible. They are the best wedding band around!!

    Super Helpful!

    ECE was the middle man between my wife and i and the band we were looking to book for our wedding. Mason is who we were put in touch with and he always responded super quickly to our emails and helped us get our band right away. Along the way he kept us updating on anything the band needed from us and made sure to pass along any questions. Overall great experience with ECE and they helped us put on an amazing event for our guests.

    By hiring ECE you are guaranteed to be in good hands.

    Brad Strouse at ECE was such a pleasure to work with. He was responsive and communication as clear. We also enjoyed the clear platform ECE has created for their online portal, making payment and contacts clear and most importantly transparent with no hidden fees.

    By hiring ECE you are guaranteed to be in good hands. Trust me you won't look back!

    Side note if you are considering a DJ, we can not recommend DJ Felton more. If you want your guests pulled to the dance floor there is no better person than DJ Felton.

    Best choice for music lovers

    Southside Station blew us away. They played beautiful renditions of some of our favorite songs. They played our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They were so lively and fun while
    keeping within the sound we wanted. We’re Christian and requested clean versions of our songs and the band was so respectful and careful during our reception. We loved their version of our wedding song so much we wish we could record it to dance to forever! You cannot
    go wrong with this amazing team.

    We hired Big Blast Band because we saw them at a wedding and they were off the charts good. We hired them for a huge retirement party/bash and they brought the fun, joy, excellent music and great energy. I highly recommend them!

    Wonderful wedding pianist

    Brad helped us navigate exactly what we wanted for our wedding ceremony musician, and that led us to Jennifer C, our amazing pianist! We want to give a huge THANK YOU for making our ceremony completely magical! We were just so happy with how the ceremony music turned out, especially the custom song requests - simply perfect! We got so many compliments on the music from guests as well. We are so, so appreciative of ECE and Jennifer for making our ceremony so perfect!

    Paula Shrum did an outstanding job as our agent, and we absolutely loved Forest Hill and DJ John! It was the perfect music for our wedding -- both for listening and for dancing.

    So helpful and sincere throughout! When I spoke to Paula and told her what we were looking for, she hit the nail on the head with her suggestions/recommendations! We also sadly had to postpone last year in 2020 due to the pandemic and Paula was so helpful and professional the entire time and made the process so easy for us. Forever grateful for her help and kindness!
