Paul and the band performed for our NYC wedding at the Essex House and I cannot recommend enough!!! Absolutely CRUSHED it. The amount of messages I've gotten from guests, in the week(s) following, flooding my inbox with the BEST things to say about these guys is honestly hard to keep up with! We had a bit of a different song list we were hoping for...they not only took it on, while maintaining our expectations in a reasonable and professional manner, but they blew every song out of the park - mix was mostly classic rock (heavy on Bruce and horn songs) but really all over the spectrum (ample Sinatra, Shania Twain and even a number of niche Irish Pub drinking songs mixed in for our Galway family in town). They even let my one cousin perform with them and sing Steve Earle's "Galway Girl"! Best version of "Livin on a Prayer" and "Jersey Girl" we'd ever heard (coming from a huge Irish NJ based fam of Boss and JBJ Lovers....that's a praise like no other and not given lightly) The best way I could sum these guys is in two recaps: 1) There were people on the dance floor (all night, at that) that I/my parents have never seen even bounce along at a single wedding in the past (and we've had many in our fam) 2) My dad, who's seen over 1000 live concerts (including 15+ of the Stones alone), and two of my professional musician cousins all unanimously voted East Coast to be the best live band they'd ever seen (as in best of ANY bands, not just wedding, that they've seen in 60+ years of shows) BOOK IMMEDIATELY! :-) More...

Once my husband and I saw East Coast Band play at my sister's wedding in 2019, we knew when we got married, we 100% wanted to book them. This band is truly amazing!! Every singer and musician is so talented and had the guests on the dance floor all night. We had Amy and Kenny as our lead singers and they were amazing! Tom was our point of contact throughout the whole process and was extremely responsive to every email. He worked with us to ensure everything went exactly as we imagined. We hope to see East Coast play again in the future because they are that amazing! More...

The East Coast Band played at my wedding this October. They were fantastic! The music was really 5 stars excellent...great song choices, very talented musicians which led to such a fun dance floor! All of this at a very fair price compared to other wedding bands that I had considered. Definitely the most fun wedding band that I have experienced! I highly recommend! More...

Outstanding is the only way to describe EAST COAST! The party didn't quit until the last note was played! The band electrified the crowd with music and personality playing fabulous covers to all our favorites and then some! On top of that, the bride and groom requested a song for their first dance that the band learned and may have done better than the original! A delight to work with from booking until the last note was played, East Coast is guaranteed to get your party into high gear! More...

We used East Coast Band for our July 2023 wedding and they completely made the party! EVERYONE was dancing for nearly the whole night, and we received so many compliments both the night of and afterwards. They were very good at reading the crowd with music selection. We went with a 10 pc band because my husband really wanted the brass section. Also really made the party! CC was our point of contact and producer/bandleader and she was really great throughout the process. Gave us good feedback as we were planning and was very accommodating of some specific music requests we made. We went to The Red Lion to see them perform and that’s when we knew we needed to book them. They had the whole crowd going, and we also felt they were a very cohesive band that frequently work with each other (unlike some other bands we checked out that seemed to have a ton of artists per instrument who didn’t all necessarily work together often.) East Coast Band was one of the few vendors that delivered perfection. Can’t recommend them enough!!!! I know bands can be expensive vs a DJ, but it really was a fantastic investment in the night.

East Coast Music is amazing! So many people complimented me and told me it was the best wedding band they have ever seen. They are so professional and have so much experience and it really shows . I wanted my wedding to be a nonstop dance party and they totally crushed it! Everyone was dancing all night. They were also really honest about my venue, and where the sound would be good and where it would not. They helped explain the logistics and acoustics of the venue before I even booked them, and helped me with a lot of logistics to ensure that everything was perfect during my ceremony and reception after I did. They are also really reasonably priced. I highly recommend them! More...

East Coast Band is truly so talented and incredible at what they do. The song selection and transitions are amazing and they definitely know how to get the party started! We had the most fun wedding and I can fully attribute that to East Coast Band. They had everyone out on the dance floor dancing their hearts out. We received so many comments from our friends and family about how amazing the band was at our wedding. Additionally, they had to learn our first dance song as it’s not a popular song and they did a fantastic job. They were on time setting up, all dressed professionally, and sounded out of this world. CC was our lead singer and MC and she did such a great job. She even remembered to play a specific song that I asked for (in memory of my father) which really made my night. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to use ECB as our wedding band and I highly recommend them to any bride/groom looking for an amazing band to create the most epic dance party and most memorable wedding! Thank you, East Coast Band, for making our wedding the best night of our lives. We can’t imagine our wedding without you!! More...

When choosing a band for my wedding, I knew I want 3 things: 1. I wanted the band to get everyone dancing all night. A band that would interact with the guests and add to the celebratory energy. 2. A large range of song options and instruments to choose from (I love horns). 3. A band that my guests would remember and rave about! East Coast Band provided all 3 and more! Paul, the band leader was extremely easy to work with. He is very accommodating in every sense of the word. Paul played the keys for my ceremony, and I thought it was beautiful. He played some classical secular music while guests were arriving and nailed each song request for the ceremony. Then Paul put together a Jazz Trio for our cocktail hour. It was lovely- it felt so classy and fun! My one main request there was to have a saxophonist. Paul’s usual sax player, Dimitry was on stand-up bass, so he hired an additional musician to play sax. She was great, and she also pulled out a flute at some point which was a nice surprise. Their jazz was perfect to have while enjoying our outdoor cocktail hour. Now, the reception! I had Miriam and Kenny singing and they were both SO great. A month later, our friends are still talking about the band and about Miriam. All the band members showed up to the wedding with a wonderful attitude and truly looked like they loved their work playing music. The joy was tangible and contagious to our guests. We danced all night, I forgot to even make rounds at my dinner tables… oops! They had a huge list of songs to choose from and inspire us. My father even played his own song and sent it to the band. They backed him up so beautifully as if they’d rehearsed together in advance. So special! Choosing a band for your wedding is a huge decision. I highly recommend East Coast Band! It’s one of the best decisions I made in wedding planning and I’d make the same exact decision today if I had to do it over again. More...

East Coast is absolutely the best - don’t look any further. Our wedding guests had an absolute blast and we got endless compliments on the entertainment. Tom and Melissa were a joy to work with and accommodated all of our unique requests for ceremony music, special dances and beyond. The band got and kept the party going all night and we couldn’t have been happier. They killed our wedding song and that’s something we will remember forever. Book East Coast immediately - you won’t be disappointed!! THANK YOU EAST COAST! More...

East Coast Band surpassed all of our expectations the day of our wedding. They are absolutely incredible and we and all of our guests were completely blown away. If you want to guarantee an amazing wedding, with all your guests dancing and having fun, this is the way to go. From beginning to end, they were amazing - from intro call with Paul, their manager, and working with him on our vision to the actual day, it was flawless. Huge shoutout to Miriam Kenny and Eartley who absolutely crushed every single song they sang. Cannot recommend them enough!!! More...
