For Steve Harry, a partner at EastCoast Entertainment’s Charleston branch, tailoring the soundtrack to a couple’s wedding night is the most fun part of his job. “We listen to everybody’s taste in music, which is all different,” he says. “And once we hear what they’ve envisioned, we use our roster to match ideas that fit their taste, the wedding date and their budget.”

Indeed, the national entertainment company has a dozen bands and even more DJs in the Charleston area alone poised and ready to answer the call. From the Coconut Groove Band to the Swingin Richards to Quiana Parler and Friends, all artists have their own bio and video on the EastCoast website for wedding planners to peruse so the perfect fit can be easily found. After all, when the music starts, that’s when memories are made.

“We hear it all the time from brides that the band is the most important part of the evening,” Harry explains. “When it’s all said and done, the fun that happens on that dance floor is what your guests will remember most.”
