East Coast Event Group

East Coast was recommended to us by many people – and for good reason! We hired them for photography and DJ, and everything was wonderful. Mike was supposed to be our original DJ but had to cancel due to a medical emergency – he called me immediately from the doctor’s office to tell me he’d already found a replacement and that we were in safe hands. It’s so great to know that they know how to handle crazy, nervous brides! Ha! Our music and our DJ were so much fun and the pictures are GORGEOUS. We’ve been recommending ECEG to all our engaged friends and will continue to do so. Thank you for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Wow — our DJ, Josiah (Jay) Barclay, did a FANTASTIC job! We really couldn’t have asked for anything more. We wanted a ton of dancing at our wedding and requested upbeat current music with some EDM mixed in, and he created an excellent mix. Everyone had such a great time dancing all night. In addition to the amazing music at the reception, he also took care of our ceremony and cocktail hour music which was prefect. Finally, he did the lighting for our entire reception hall. This was the part that really blew us away. He provided uplights surrounding the entire room, and a wash over the dancefloor. The color of the lights were configurable from his DJ booth, so he updated the lighting based on the mood… champagne solid color lights during the toasts… purple /​rose lighting during dance breaks, and every once in a while, he’d cut the lights completely and make a strobe effect to match the music. The lighting completely tranformed our reception hall into a fun club. Everyone told us how much fun they had dancing the night away, and it was entirely due to Josiah. I’d recommend him to anyone!

DJ: When searching for a DJ we started as most couples planning a wedding do. We listened to suggestions from friends and family, recommendations from our venue, and of course online reviews and websites. What drew us in initially to East Coast Event Group was that their DJ’s all had highlight reels. This really helped us find a DJ that fit the mood we wanted for our wedding, and after meeting Eric Scott Gold we were certain we found the right guy for the job. We went with a package that included music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, along with uplighting for the banquet hall. Eric arrived at the venue hours before the ceremony took place to get everything set up, and go over last minute details with myself and my wife. What we didn’t expect was his willingness to support the other vendors in attendance. He was always on the look out making sure my wife and I didn’t bump into each other before the ceremony. He played music to set the mood for our photo sessions, joked around with the bridal party, and couldn’t have been any nicer. When it was time for the reception, that’s when Eric’s personality really shined. Prior to our wedding we told him what music we liked, and made a few song selections, but the rest we left up to him. When it came time for the reception I can’t recall a time when I looked up and didn’t see the dance floor packed full of people dancing. His introductions, announcements, and general excitement throughout the evening helped to get the party started, keep the party going, and helped to create some of the most memorable moments of the night. I can’t say enough about the quality of service Eric provided us for our wedding, and would recommend him to any couple that wants to make their wedding a memorable day, not only for them, but for every guest in attendance.
VIDEO: We originally planned on not having a videographer for the wedding. Everything else was expensive enough that, this was something that we didn’t see absolutely necessary. However, as our wedding grew closer, we found a little extra to potentially afford a videographer. With one month left before our wedding we asked Eric about their video services and packages, and he put me in touch with Andrew from his video services department. Andrew gave me a few different options to meet our wants and needs. Come the wedding day Andrew was there with top notch camera, audio, and lighting equipment to shoot our special day. He worked along side the photographers, often assisting them with his lights, and playing off one another for photo and video ideas. Andrew was extremely professional, polite, and creative in the different shots he used throughout the day. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would recommend him for anyones special day.
