East Coast Music & Entertainment Inc — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

We cannot say enough amazing things about East Coast Band!

We got married in July 2025 at Giorgio’s in Baiting Hollow and used East Coast Band. We had sax and piano for our cocktail hour, and we had 9-pieces for our reception. CC was our producer, and Eartley, Tom, and KT also led songs.

During our search for a band, we were looking for a group that was experienced, allowed us to see them live, and played music that kept guests of all ages dancing all night.

First, East Coast’s expertise made the whole night as smooth as could be. Throughout the planning process, we had calls with CC and Tom. They were always so kind and confident in their work. Prior to the wedding, CC scheduled a call with my fiance and I. She reviewed all the night’s details with us. She also asked about us and our guests to ensure the requested songs were tailored to our crowd. One of the best recommendations CC had was how to structure the evening to keep the energy up. Guests specifically complimented how seamlessly the events of the night flowed into one another.

Secondly, in our search for a band, it was important to us to have a group that we could see playing in a wedding setting or live. We loved that East Coast had videos from weddings they’d played on their website. It was clear how upbeat, talented, and engaging they were. Additionally, East Coast plays live gigs regularly, so my family had the chance to see them twice before the wedding day. They were just as amazing in-person as they were in the online videos.

Lastly, East Coast played such a wide variety of music that kept guests dancing all night. One of our favorite memories from the night was seeing people from different parts of our lives on the dance floor. East Coast played music that included every generation from friends to grandparents. Additionally, it felt like East Coast didn’t take a break all night long. CC perfectly aligned “breaks” with dinner and dessert being served. A dance set was never interrupted by a break, it just effortlessly flowed into the next part of the evening. Guests complimented the quality of the music, each vocalist’s unique style, and the sing-along quality of the songs. The dance floor was full all night long.

Guests are still raving about our band, and honestly so are we!! We couldn’t have been in better hands. I highly recommend East Coast Band for anyone looking for an experienced band that brings the best energy and will have guests of all ages...

I typically do not write reviews, however I felt absolutely compelled to leave a 5 star review for East Coast Band! I had the pleasure of meeting them at my family members wedding and I was immediately hooked. Never have I seen a dance floor so packed, both with 30 year old’s like myself however equally as packed with individuals who are my parents age as well. The music selection catered beautifully to both generations, was not too loud, and allowed for a celebration where truly everyone enjoyed, danced and no one felt left out based on the style of music played to be left sitting at a table throughout the night. I have gone to many weddings where the DJ plays all music catered to the younger generation, however this leaves others seated at tables with music too loud where they can not even talk at all, just left to sit at the table and watch the dance floor. This is the absolute opposite of what you will get with having East Coast perform on your big day! I was so compelled that a week after attending my family members wedding with East Coast Band performing, I reached out and signed them as well for my own wedding! Besides a packed dance floor, with super talented performers, that all of your guests will rave about I wanted to also take a moment and place emphasis on the character of this company. From its very owner, Paul, who is incredibly professional, kind and does not pressure you into signing with them what so ever! He truly spends his time with you ( was on the phone for one hour) answering your every question and concern to make your day super special. My fiancé and myself are completely overwhelmed by the talent this entire group has to offer. In particular, Big Mike ( performed on American Idol), Kenny, KT and Tom (guitarist) really caught our attention. Not only were all members incredibly talented, but it is worth noting that they are very kind, thoughtful and will bend over backwards to make your day super special. It is an honor for us to have them performing at our wedding and if you are unsure about a vender for music, I am here to say that there is no where else to look than...

East Coast Band was not only amazing on the day of, but incredible to work with leading up to our wedding. Our main point of contact was Paul who is awesome! They were the first vendor that we booked for our original date--booked back in December of 2018 after hearing rave reviews from a family friend and then going to see them ourselves, we didn't even look or go to hear any other bands play.

Our very large wedding was originally scheduled for May of 2020, but due to COVID-19 our plans had to change. When we reached out to East Coast about our new plans they were incredibly accommodating and worked with us on the date options we had with our venue to figure out which date would work best to get the same configuration we had originally settled on. After all of that replanning- we changed out plans AGAIN once we realized a 275 person wedding wasn't going to happen in November of 2020. So, with our third plan in place,- a much smaller, 45 person celebration- and with only 1 month notice we went back to Paul who was eager and excited to work with us on figuring out a new set up for the much smaller event.

Our crowd was particularly cautious given the pandemic, and our venue did not allow dancing- so we worked with Paul to figure out what would work for our long dinner party.

Fast forward to the day of the wedding and man did they deliver! Who knew a dinner party could be so much fun-- they absolutely NAILED our first dance song, took requests from the crowd and even let my husband's father play the guitar with them for a number of songs. They were great at keeping the crowd engaged, even at an unconventional wedding, and EVERYONE commented on how great they were. People were Impressed and had a great time, and we couldn't be more grateful and happy that we chose East Coast Band to work with for our wedding.

If you're looking for an awesome band who can adapt to any situation, are easy to work with, who very much LOVE what they do, are down to earth, and fun to be around--- seriously...
