“We’ve used East Coast Entertainment for two very different events. One was a very successful themed client event with hundreds of guests at a large venue where East Coast Entertainment provided production and the band Halifax Pier. The other was an intimate gathering for a high end property launch where which we were provided a talented classical guitarist. They were friendly and professional and handled all the details we would have missed. They did everything from hiring a full band, coordinating with the venue and taking care of production at the large event and providing a talented classical guitarist for the more intimate event. All of our needs were taken into consideration and both events had rave reviews from people attending. ) and will definitely use them again “

“We used East Coast Entertainment to book the band Halifax Pier for our annual corporate event this summer and they did not disappoint. They had an extensive library of songs that kept our guests dancing the whole night. East Coast Entertainment were very easy to work with and accommodating to our evolving timeline. I would definitely recommend them to enhance any type of event, big, small, private or corporate – they were awesome! “
