My wife and I hired East Coast Band for our wedding this past February. We were completely blown away by their quality, professionalism, talent, and sheer fun-factor. We worked with Paul to schedule everything and he was fantastic. Not only a really good guy, but also very honest and professional about setting expectations and working with us on the details. The band played our ceremony and cocktail hour in addition to the reception. We extended the entire wedding by one hour, and the group was right there with great energy all night.
We worked with Paul to set the music lineup for each part of the event. He gave us their song sheet, which is very extensive, but also dusted off a handful of other options we requested. Everything sounded fantastic. If you're thinking of them for your ceremony, have no fear. They played a very tasteful guitar and a piano combo, which was really appropriate. They had a sax and guitar for cocktails and that also went off perfectly. An important element here is that East Coast knew our venue (Bourne Mansion), and was able to set up and break down their equipment quickly and effeciently as necessary.
As to the band's performance, we cannot say enough. My wife and I consider East Coast to be the gold standard for wedding bands, and would recommend them without question to anyone looking for a top notch group. We've been to many weddings in addition to our own, and no other event's music has come remotely close. And I'm not just saying that because it was our own big day. The most telling piece of evidence we have was provided by our guests. Numerous married couples came up to us, raving about East Coast, wishing they could get married again just so they could hire this band. Lots of our guests told us they hadn't been to a wedding where everyone was up to dance so quickly. I've read that remark in other reviews here, and it is absolutely the case. Needless to say, we obviously agree. The band drove a fantastic event all night long!
If you're planning your wedding, contact Paul at East Coast immediately. They are the best wedding band we have ever seen at any event anywhere in the United States!
