Reviews Of Long Island's Most Versatile Band

Posted on April 22, 2013 by east-logic

“If you are a musician, then this is the band for you! I come from a family of musicians, so finding a band was one of the most important part of planning my wedding day. My husband and I are both singers and I am a music teacher. East Coast was the only band we considered for our event and boy did they deliver!!!! With their tight harmonies and stellar vocals, my party was unreal! The band kept everyone, and I mean everyone, dancing the entire party! They were so easy to work with and my guests still tell me how AWESOME my band was! My friend got engaged a few weeks after my wedding and the first thing she asked me was for the band’s number. All people care about at weddings are the food and the music. East Coast has got your music covered! Thank you for making our wedding perfection!”

– Karen

“The East Coast Band played at our wedding a month ago and our guests are still talking about them. No matter what the age, the dance floor was always packed. They knew exactly what to play and kept everyone on their feet. Everyone said The Band was the Best I’ve Ever Heard. Three friends are booking them for their weddings. Paul was absolutely amazing to work with. He and the musicians in the band made our wedding an unforgettable night for us and our guests.”

– Anonymous

“Out of all the decisions that go into making a wedding happen, you will definitely not regret deciding to use East Coast Band. They are flexible, versatile, and most importantly, extremely talented! I first heard them at my cousin’s wedding over 5 years ago, and I never forgot how great they were. I knew that I had to use them for my wedding, and everyone raved to me about how fantastic they were. Even people who normally do not dance were out on the dance floor. Choosing them was easily the best wedding decision that I made. Thanks ECB!”

– Rita

“East Coast played at our wedding back in May, and they were beyond AMAZING! We had Paul playing the piano during our cocktail hour which was beautiful and many of our guests commented on how nice it was. During the reception every single guest, young and old, was on the dance floor. We didn’t even have to specify a song list, the band knew what to play and kept everyone up on their feet! I can’t even count how many people commented that this was the best band they’d ever heard play at a wedding. Paul was so great to work with, and made the whole process so easy for me. East Coast is playing at a friend’s wedding this weekend, and we are so excited to see them again!! Thanks for everything!”
