“East Coast Music & Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with. They worked closely with us to create a music list that represented us as a couple and our culture.  We had asked them to learn several Spanish songs to represent our culture and East Coast was happy to take on the task.  These songs sounded authentic and brought everyone out to dance.  Not only did their music and energy keep everyone on the dance floor all night, but I’ve received countless calls asking me where we found them.  I would recommend East Coast for any event.”

“Ooh my god you guys are better than you say. Lynda and company were simply amazing last sat and you are still being talked about by all the guests in Australia, England, Germany, Cambodia and of course Ireland. If you ever need a recommendation or review, just ask.”

Thanks so much….

“Just wanted to thank you and the band for a job well done at my wedding on May 16, 2009. You guys were simply amazing! I heard nothing but rave reviews. If you need me to write a review on a website or if you ever need to use me as a referral, please feel free to give out my telephone number and email.”

 

– Thanks again

“You guys were absolutely amazing last night. So many guests came up to us throughout the night to express what an incredible job you guys were doing and we have received a bunch more calls today. You set the tone from the start and kept the dance floor full all night long. The “MC’ing” was perfect. Erica and I were so happy with all of you. Your transitions between tunes was flawless and your ability to switch genres was effortless.

 

Should you need a reference, we would be happy to recommend you.

 

You rock!”

– John & Erica Scarrone

Hiring The Entertainment For Your Wedding Day

Having been in the entertainment business for over 30 years now, we know what makes or breaks a wedding. Hiring a band is one of the most important decisions that you will make for your big day. Along with the food and catering, entertainment can make or break your wedding. If this is your first time planning a big event you may be unsure of whether to hire a band or a DJ, check out the benefits of hiring a band over a DJ. When you hire a band it brings a certain level of sophistication that is not possible with a DJ. A live performance is magical and brings real meaning to your event. If you absolutely need to hear some songs by the original artist we offer a band/DJ combo at a minimal additional cost.

 

When hiring a band be sure to ask as many questions as you need to so that you feel comfortable. East Coast is here from the very beginning of the planning of your entertainment so that you will have an easy time planning. Hiring a band does not have to be stressful and is not when you work with East Coast. We can provide you with references of satisfied clients.

If you would like to see a copy of our song list we can provide you with one. Here you can choose the songs that you absolutely want to hear and even songs that you do not want played at your wedding. If your wedding song, or special song is not on our list and we are given ample time to prepare (at least 30 days) we can learn your song and have it ready to be played on your big day!

Make Or Break Your Wedding!

East Coast band members are experts on weddings! We collectively have 30 years experience of performing at weddings and other events. We might just be a band and provide entertainment for weddings but we know what works and what doesn’t. Here are a few tips from us to help make your event and not break it!

 

Last edition we discussed how NEW YORK style weddings are famous for the high energy way we blend food, music and  DANCING. The timing gives the allusion of non-stop action even though there is balance between calorie burning dance time and judiciously placed pauses that allow all to catch there breath. Today we address our pet peeve, a caterer induced trend toward four hours uninterrupted food service.
Several years ago caterers began to introduce the concept of 90 minute cocktail hours. This was a logical way to insure adequate time for guests to enjoy the ever increasing and often believable array of food presented.

 

Our beef comes with those  who insist guests then be moved directly into 90 minutes of uninterrupted dinner service, punctuated only by a never ending parade of speeches. The salesperson/planner then suggests that guests are free to “party” for 2 1/2  hours straight! Yipee!!!

 

The unfortunate reality is that  after sitting for an hour at  a wedding ceremony,  then three more drinking and eating most people (especially the older folks)  cannot be expected to do much more than fall asleep.

 

Doing all the food at once may allow a caterer to make a very impressive spread and send staff home earlier but it does not make  for a good dance party. Insist on a common sense party plan! Trust us on this!

When planning your wedding there are two decisions that you will have to make that will make or break your big day. One major decision that you will have to make is the catering for the event. You want to make sure that the food at your wedding will be something that is going to be talked about and raved over. The other decision you will make that will either bring your party to life or stifle it, is the entertainment.

 

For the last three decades, wedding couples, corporate party coordinators and country clubs have made East Coast their first choice for entertainment. East Coast is very easy to work with and will be there for you from the very first moment to personally assist you with every single phase of your entrainment planning.

East Coast knows that you have enough things to worry about when planning your big day, now music doesn’t have to be one of them!

No matter the budget we can help you try and find a solution for your current situation. East Coast plays music that makes each and every wedding unique and memorable. They include songs that are not in your typical wedding band fare. If you would like to learn more about East Coast Band, explore the website, check out the song list and media page!

East Coast Is The Right Band For Your Wedding

With 30 years of experience and over 1000 weddings under our belt we’re happy to have performed for (and with) some amazing people. Over the years the band has performed for countless celebrities from all walks of life. These include Jon Bon Jovi, Mayor Giuliani, Martha Stewart, John Belushi, Vanessa Williams, Yankees and Mets (among hundreds of others). East Coast’s band members and singers have some awesome accomplishments of their own.

 

The latest one to chirp about is “Big Mike” making it to the final 4 on American Idol. From 2007 until 2/2010, Michael Lynche has been performing with East Coast as an additional vocalist.  We all take pride in helping him develop as an artist. Michael joined us for a dozen or so select performances in 2012 and will be back in NYC and more available to us in 2013.

 

East Coast is part of an ever expanding network of bands,  musicians and D.J.’s.  If  East Coast is booked for your date or not exactly what you are looking for (hey, it happens!) be sure to ask about alternatives. Featured are Henry Haid’s “Only in America” , “The Storytellers” & “Eastsiders”  (slightly younger versions of East Coast) and “The Gordon Dukes Band”.

 

Decisions That Can Make Or Break Your Wedding

Living in New York, there is a reputation of a certain uniqueness for the people who live here. New York style weddings certainly have a reputation for their unique blend of great food, music and dancing. When planning a wedding there are certain choices that can make or break your wedding. Certainly the music and entertainment for your wedding is surely important, it will keep the party going or it won’t. Also another major decision is the food and catering. When planning a wedding it is  best to do as much research as you can to find out the best caterers and entertainers in your area.

 

Many couples feel increasing pressure to abandon the winning “less is more” strategy. To insure their wedding is personal and unique, they advised to incorporate 20 page lists of “must haves” and and complete even longer lists of decisions to be made. The best advice is much simpler. Hire PROFESSIONALS and use their expertise to help limit your overall stress!

 

Guests will remember a great party, not necessarily what they specifically ate or even what songs were played. Choosing East Coast ensures that you can take an active role in creating a “playlist” that reflects your general taste and sense of style but will still work in a party setting. With multiple weekly performances and over 1000 successful weddings in our resume we have become expert in combining client input in a way that it keeps all your guests involved in the non-stop dance floor action. Weddings are dance parties; if that is what you are looking for, we excel. Choosing pros ensures that you are relaxed enough to enjoy and remember your own party!

 

Check out our reviews on Wedding Wire, “In all the weddings we’ve attended, we’ve never seen guests abandoned the first dinner course to dance. The band created such a lively, classy and pleasurable atmosphere that no one could stay sitting in his or her seat.” We have won brides choice award for 2013!
