Great Band!

We are so happy we found this band. They did an outstanding job. They worked with us to learn new songs. Their sound was terrific and many of our guests commented on how well they played. They are talented musicians, and we would recommend them to anyone.

So helpful and accommodating in the process of postponing!

My fiance and I had to make the difficult decision to postpone our wedding from August 1st 2020 to July 31st 2021 due to COVID-19. Riverside Lights and East Coast Entertainment was more than accommodating in making this switch. They were very prompt in their communication and allowed me to switch with no fee and no hassle. I highly recommend them to anyone and can't wait to hear them at my wedding in a year!

Awesome Band!

Riverside Lights was fantastic. From Ken’s acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour to the full band during the reception, we were moving and grooving. So many guests afterward told us what a great band we had, and we couldn’t agree more. Ken and Riverside Lights had the barn floor bumping, and Ken did a great job MC’ing throughout. Our photographer kept saying she had never been to a wedding that was so on-time, and that was partially due to Ken.
