100% recommend Stax for any and all weddings!
We had the BEST time with Stax for our wedding. They immediately brought the energy and the dance floor was full the entire time. They were so professional, friendly, and flexible despite some last minute timeline changes. We had multiple guests mention how one of their favorite parts of the day was the music. Would highly recommend.

ECS forever!!!
BEST. WEDDING. BAND. EVER!!! East Coast Soul absolutely CRUSHED IT at our September 2026 wedding in Vermont!!! The energy was electric, the dance floor was packed all night, and the vibes were unmatched. Their talent, stage presence, and ability to read the room kept everyone dancing from start to finish! We've lost count of how many guests have told us it was the best and most fun wedding they've ever attended, and ECS played a huge part in making that happen. Music was our priority and wow, they delivered. Several of our friends are now looking to book them for their own weddings, and our family is already talking about hiring them for future events. If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does! If you're considering East Coast Soul, BOOK THEM!!! Thank you, ECS, for bringing the incredible music, contagious energy, and unforgettable party. We wish we could do it all over again!

Hire them!!!!!
WOW. I cannot overstate how unbelievably talented this band is. They are not a normal wedding band. There were times that I thought it was the originally recording! The level of professionalism in their sound and operation was so impressive. More importantly, though, was their ability to get literally every SINGLE guest of our 160 person wedding on the dance floor ALL night. The set list was perfectly curated and their stage presence kept everyone feeling connected to the music and dancing. It was by far the highlight of our wedding and we didn't want it to end. I already know they will be getting lots of inquiries from our guests. Couldn't recommend them more!

Phenomenal!!
East Coast Soul made our wedding day unforgettable. From our first conversation, they were responsive and easy to work with, answering every question we had without hesitation. The band played all the songs we wanted, which made our celebration feel truly personal and special. Their energy on the dance floor was electric, and guests are still talking about how good they were. We couldn't have asked for a better group to set the tone for our night. If you're looking for a band that delivers exceptional music and genuine warmth, East Coast Soul is the clear choice.

LOVED East Coast Soul - Soulsville Ensemble
We hired East Coast Soul for our wedding (specifically the Soulsville Ensemble), and they completely blew us and our guests away. Their song selection list is super long, the vocals were fantastic, and the entire band brought so much talent and energy to the stage. They read the crowd perfectly, keeping the dance floor busy and the vibe high all night long. Beyond their amazing performance, they were incredibly fun, professional, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. So many wedding guests complimented our band selection, asked for their name and where they are based - a sign of how much people loved them! If you want a band that will make your wedding unforgettable, book them immediately!
