“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.”

“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
