    Party Rockers Band

    Greg and the band were unbelievable! So fun, so much energy. They made the party awesome. I have been getting texts from all of the guests telling me how much fun they had and how great the band was. I'm so grateful to the Party Rockers for making my daughter's party magical. We had seen them two times before, but they really outdid themselves this time. They were even better than I remembered.

    ECE For The Win!

    Loved working with Jenny at ECE and our wedding band For The Win. You all did an amazing job. We really appreciate Kevin working with us to adjust the timeline and the style of music given some competing challenges with wanting a dinner where people could talk and a much more concert like portion. You balanced that challenge very well. The MC did a wonderful job managing the flow of the evening as well. I personally (the bride) had so much fun during the last set--when you all completely upped the energy and had more than 50% of the group out dancing the entire time. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how good you all were and the lead singer's voice. Our guests loved it so much they asked for an encore! We're so grateful yall rolled with that and made it happen--it just added to the concert vibe we wanted for our night. Thank you so much for the excellent excellent job--you all were the centerpiece of our reception and did not disappoint--you exceeded our expectations, which is remarkable because we never saw you perform (other than online videos) before the reception itself!

    Awesome Vendor

    Paula and the ECE team have been amazing to work with. We were forced to reschedule the wedding and Paula worked with me to quickly make changes in a stress free manner. Responsive and helpful at all times. Can't recommend enough.

    Highly Recommend!!

    Paula from ECE played a big part in making our wedding awesome. We originally booked a band before COVID-19 and had to move our wedding date twice. Paula was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the entire experience. Her professionalism and how she handled moving the dates twice was incredible. She also recommended an absolutely incredible band that everyone loved. I’d recommend Paula’s services to anyone.

    Great communication and understanding

    Although we haven't had our wedding, (we unfortunately have had to change the date twice due to COVID-19) ECE (specifically Paula) has been very responsive and understanding of the situation, making the process as easy as it can be in a tough time. We can't wait to have Modern Luxe play at our wedding!

    Outstanding Service

    Working with ECE, and John and Paula, has been a pleasure. They are so professional and very helpful which we value so much because of the added stress of rescheduling our wedding during the pandemic. Their responsiveness, support and flexibility are just a few examples of their outstanding service!

    The life of the party

    Paula of ECE recommended Patrick Zurn for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier. Patrick was so helpful- he also did our lighting for the venue! Paula was the best! She even recommended some other vendors for us as well. She truly knows the wedding industry. Patrick was the life of the party!! He kept our guests on the dance floor all night! I, the bride, never left once I got out there! We have had so many compliments on our amazing dance party! Thank you ECE, Paula and Patrick!!!

    So Accomodating During the Pandemic!

    Unfortunately, we have had to reschedule our wedding TWICE due to Covid-19. Fortunately, I had hired amazing vendors who have been wonderful to work with. Paula with ECE has been so responsive and flexible while changing up my dates (tons of questions/communication), and I can tell she really cares! Leading up to the pandemic was flawless as well, we were able to speak directly with the band and they answered all our questions. We sadly have to wait a little longer for our wedding, but I can't wait to party the night away with JukeBoxx!

    The entertainment group you want to work with because they'll work with you!

    John Wolfslayer and ECE are awesome! They represent BroadSound Band whose musical talent and energy are unmatched. John worked with us to allow us to see the band in person before booking them for our NYE 2020 wedding. We recently made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding to NYE 2021 to keep our families and guests safe during COVID-19. Even though our experience working with John and ECE had been seamless and great, we were expecting some pushback given that all of my friends that have had to postpone their weddings because of COVID have had some sort of issue with their bands - either an unwillingness to postpone or charging large fees to move the date. We didn't experience any of that with ECE! They couldn't be nicer and more understanding and allowing us to postpone took a huge weight off our shoulders as we made the decision. That solidified again that we couldn't have picked a better band than BroadSound. We're very grateful to John and ECE for helping us find them and working with us and the band to postpone to next year. We know ECE/BroadSound will give us and our guests the NYE dance party that we've been waiting for!

    Uncle Jessie was exactly the band we were looking for

    My husband is a musician but wanted to sit back and enjoy the day, so he worked with Uncle Jessie to have his band play just at the start of the reception, with COVID-safe protocols in place. We always knew we wanted our wedding to feature 90’s and early 00’s covers and Uncle Jessie was the perfect fit. With both female and male lead vocals depending on the song, they wowed our guests and made us feel like this wedding reflected our style and taste in music. So many of our guests came up to us by the end of the evening to complement us on selecting Uncle Jessie!

    Wonderful -- best vendor experience.

    Due to the coronavirus pandemic my fall wedding was postponed-- which is not unique to me. I know every 2020 bride/groom are going through this as well. However, prior to the pandemic I started to plan my wedding and Paula Shrum (ECE consultant) was one of the first people I spoke to about entertainment for my wedding. She took the time to get to know me and my fiance and helped us pick the perfect band for our wedding. Her personable approach, kindness and good taste in music comforted me in a stressful planning time. Then the world turned upside down and we had to move our date and Paula has been there every step of the way rebooking and rescheduling the band for our wedding. We had some obstacles, but Paula made the entire process easy. She is awesome to work with, has been so flexible and in such uncertain times, I'm so grateful for her guidance and calm demeanor. She goes with the flow, which makes everything better. I hightly recommend ECE and Paula Shrum!

    Great company very accommodating!

    Due to COVID-19 my fiance and I had to make the difficult decision to postpone our wedding on August 1st 2020 to July 31st 2021. East Coast Entertainment was more than accommodating in helping me switch my band to my new date and was very prompt in all of their communication. I highly recommend anyone to use them. John has been so helpful this whole process!

    Paula and 76 degrees west are an amazing team that we've been very lucky to work with. They've been incredibly responsive/accommodating throughout our booking process and super flexible in light of this pandemic. I would recommend this group to any bride and groom!

    Phenomenal Service

    Have had the pleasure to work with Paula at East Coast over the past couple months. She made it a very easy process to book the band. Sadly we had to postpone our wedding because of COVID-19 and Paula couldn't have made the process of rebooking any easier! One email and she had the band moved to our new date! We'll definitely be using them again in the future for any events.

    amazing performance, amazing service

    We hired "The Perfect 10" band for our clients on 8/10. They were nothing short of amazing. Their stage show, presence and sound were top notch. The team at EastCoast Entertainment was great to work with (as usual) and Leslie & Jason from The Perfect 10 Band did not disappoint with their service. THANK YOU!

    Guided me every step of the way, easy payment and communication, constantly discussing everything!

    They are amazing at finding the right person for you. Their choices may be a tad bit above average for price, but it's completely worth it! They do all the heavywork for you in finding the best local vendors for your wedding, and their interfaces to pay and communication with you is *TOP NOTCH*. You never have to worry about lack of communication between you, the music coordinator, and the vendor themselves. AND you're never pressured to choose someone, you can browse their vendors they have and if you don't like any, you do not have to do business with them anymore. Highly recommend, very easy to work with!

    Excellent service...CHOOSE THEM!

    East Coast Entertainment made the process of booking a wedding band super easy! Not only did the agent Mason provide a ton of great options but the band we went with (Diamond River Band) was incredible and truly made the event a night we will never forget

    Best wedding band ever

    We received so many comments about the band being the best wedding band ever, and we agree! Multiple people said they sounded so good that they forgot it was a live band. They played music that was tailored to the crowd throughout the night, and the dance floor was never empty.

    Fantastic experience with ECE and agent, Brad Strouse!

    From the first time I talked to Brad, I felt he really listened and understood exactly what we were looking for in a wedding band. He made some great recommendations and steered us towards what ended up being a great band. Brad stayed in touch with us, facilitated communication with the band all the way up to the day before the wedding, and followed up afterwards to make sure everything went well. He even helped coordinate music for our ceremony. Brad was there for us every step of the way to make sure every aspect of our wedding day music and entertainment was perfect!
