    ECE’s Color the Night ROCKED

    Color the Night was FANTASTIC. We had high expectations for the band and they completely blew them out of the water. Almost every guest came up to us at the end of the night to compliment the band. They put on an amazing show and the dance floor was packed all night. In addition they were super communicative and easy to work with leading up to wedding day - we are big music lovers so they let us collaborate on the set list and accommodated our requests for special dances and even sang an awesome rendition of the hora. We cannot recommend Color the Night enough, they truly made it the best wedding ever

    Hot Sauce Party Band Review!

    I booked through ECE for Hot Sauce Party Band and COULD NOT have been happier with this vendor! We really took a chance with Hot Sauce, with not hearing of them before and we are SO glad that we did. Hot Sauce was a fantastic wedding band, so talented, and knew how to keep the guests on the dancefloor all night. They carefully selected each song to ensure everyone stayed partying! At the end of the night, we had to actually drag the guests off of the dance floor for our private last dance - and the guests were cheering for an encore, I mean this band was UNREAL. Hot Sauce was able to learn our first dance song and our private last dance song, which they performed to perfection! If you are looking for a diverse, talented, fun wedding band then look no further - Hot Sauce is it, and they are sure to make your wedding a blast! Our wedding would not have been complete without Hot Sauce!

    Kristen, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved Hot Sauce band. It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE

    Energetic Band that will Spark the Wedding Party of Your Dreams!

    We booked the band PUNCH through East Coast Entertainment for our wedding reception in September 2021. It was the second booking we made after selecting our venue, and then again, it was one of the first re-bookings we completed once we decided to postpone our wedding due to Covid. Fortunately, PUNCH was available on our new date, and our ECE representative (Barry) made the re-booking process a breeze. As our new date approached, the band leader, Rodney, reached out via email and phone to review my song request list. He was friendly and very open to all my requests, suggestions etc. He promised to bring the party, and that they did! PUNCH put on an absolutely amazing show; we had such a fun dance party that I missed out on the photobooth! I simply did not want to leave the dancefloor all night. I know our guests felt similarly. If you are looking for an energetic, fun, and extremely talented band for your wedding, the band PUNCH is for you!

    EastCoast Entertainment's reply:

    Hannah, thanks for sharing your kind words. We are so glad that you and your guests loved the band Punch. It was a pleasure working with you and I am so glad that everything worked out as it was suppose to even with the reschedule. I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Barry

    Wedding Reception Band

    Rebecca Thomas at ECE was incredible to work with. She went above and beyond to answer all of my questions on a timely basis. She has a real passion for music and strives for her clients to be completely satisfied with their band choice. After giving her our budget and our music preferences, she recommended a few bands for us to look into. We chose an amazing band called Night Years and they blew it out of the water at our wedding reception! I also had specific requests for our first dances and she immediately connected me with the manager of Night Years so we could work those details out. It was such a smooth and easy process. I could not recommend ECE enough! You won't be disappointed!!!

    EastCoast Entertainment's reply:

    Macon, thanks for sharing your kind words. I am so glad that Night Years band exceeded your expectations. I hope our paths cross again soon. Cheers, Rebecca

    We Loved SPO and Andrew!

    My husband and I can't say enough wonderful things about Andrew and Soul Psychedelic Orchestra! They were quick to respond, incredibly easy to work with, and our favorite part of our wedding day! The band kept the party going, and everyone raved about them for weeks afterwards. We would highly recommend working with Andrew and ECE for your band booking needs!

    Irresistible Groove

    Irresistible Groove had an extensive song selection and was able to play all of our hits. They brought amazing energy and worked to accommodate our every request. We would highly recommend them for any other person looking to host an event!

    The best band in north carolina!

    Andrew at East Coast Entertainment helped us find the EXACT band that we were looking for. He was great to work with, very attentive and responded quickly to our emails and calls. We definitely recommend working with him! The Fifth Divine was the band we chose and they were nothing short of OUTSTANDING!!! They put on the best show. We were on the dance floor the entire night because they were THAT good. Their song selection for our group was absolutely perfect. We had the time of our lives dancing and singing the night away. At the end of the night we were all drenched with sweat from dancing so hard. We wish they could have played for hours on end, they were amazing. Dave, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with and truly accommodated our wants. The entire group was so kind. Lindsay has an incredible voice, beyond description! Thank you for making our day/night one to remember!!!! HIGHLY recommend to everyone! We wish we could give them 10 stars!!!!!! Y'all are amazing!!!!!! THANK YOU!

    ECE helped us find the perfect band!

    Rebecca with EastCoast Entertainment helped us find the perfect band for our wedding! Of all of the things we spent money on for our wedding reception, none contributed more to the joy, energy and experience than hiring The Soul Psychedelique Orchestra. It has been two months since our big day, and we are still getting unsolicited compliments from our friends and family because of our 'amazing band'. Working with ECE and TSPO leading up the event was efficient and painless. We had a couple of calls with the band leader, Wade, before the wedding to talk through our special dances (first dance, father/daughter, mother/son) and the timeline. They helped to kick off the celebration by playing and emceeing intros for our entire wedding party, then transitioned straight into the song that they learned for our first dance which made it so special and personal! Everyone was so talented and the synchronized dance moves really added to the party! We are incredibly happy that we booked The Soul Psychedelique Orchestra for our wedding, and we really hope to see them at an event again soon!

    Alissa, thanks for sharing your kind words. I am so glad that you and your guests loved Soul Psychedelic Orchestra. It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, Rebecca

    Phenomenal wedding band!

    Sleeping Booty absolutely made our reception. We couldn't have asked for a better band experience. They were incredibly talented, energetic and fun. The dance floor was full all night long and our guests are still talking about how great the party was. We cannot thank them enough--we only hope one day we may have a reason to throw another party where we can book Sleeping Booty again!

    East Coast Entertainment is a first class, very responsive, awesome and professional entertainment agency!

    Working with Barry at East Coast Entertainment along with booking the band, Punch, was the first and best decision my husband and I made within 24 hours of our daughter becoming engaged! I highly recommend them both! My daughter and her new husband and all of their friends plus all our friends truly believe they are the best band around right now! Everyone was a joy to work with from the first phone call to the last song of the night! We can’t say enough wonderful things about Barry, the agency, and Punch!

    AMAZING band! All In One!

    EastCoast Entertainment helped us find the wedding band of our dreams! We had an absolute blast with the All In One band at our wedding! The dance floor was packed the ENTIRE time. More than several people came to me (the bride) directly and said how much fun the band was. We couldn't be happier with All In One, and we would HIGHLY recommend them to many friends for any event!

    The Best Wedding Band

    We booked the InsideOut band through ECE and let me just say: WOW, this group was phenomenal. They got every detail right about MCing the event -- timing and introductions were spot on, but most importantly THE MUSIC WAS INCREDIBLE! They personally arranged a slowed down version of a hit for our first dance, and then their talent and energy kept the dance floor full the whole time. We were very hands off with them in terms of a set list; we just gave them a little information about our music taste and they delivered a perfect evening. Their closing number was so good, people tell us months later they that it still reminds them of our wedding. Do yourself a favor and book InsideOut band and let them do their thing. You'll love them.

    EastCoast Entertainment's reply:

    Erica, it’s great to hear that your wedding day was amazing and that you and your guests loved InsideOut Band! It was a pleasure working with you and we appreciate you sharing your experience. Best, ECE

    Hot Sauce did a great job learning songs we wanted to hear and playing all of the crowd pleasers! Not to mention, Mike, was awesome at responding to emails and dealing with planning on the days an weeks leading up to the wedding
