About East Coast Soul
Founded in 2010
East Coast Soul is a collective of elite musicians specializing in soul, funk, and R&B for high-end weddings and events throughout the U.S. and beyond. Known for energetic performances, refined musicianship, and a highly collaborative approach, ECS has become a favorite among planners and couples seeking a truly unforgettable live music experience. Founded in 2010, East Coast Soul has evolved into a multi-ensemble collective with full-time musicians based in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia. Each of our ensembles offers its own unique chemistry while sharing the same deep musical roots and commitment to excellence. From intimate ceremonies to full-scale receptions, we tailor each performance to the unique vision and energy of the event, blending timeless classics with modern favorites to keep the dance floor moving all night. Our bands range from 7 to 10+ pieces, including lead vocalists, rhythm section, and optional horn players, with additional services available for ceremony and cocktail hour coverage. Every event includes full sound and stage lighting, plus a dedicated audio technician to ensure seamless execution and an exceptional guest experience. East Coast Soul has been honored to perform at iconic venues across the Northeast and at destination events as far as the Yellowstone Club in Montana and even the renowned Ayana Resort in Bali. Whether collaborating closely with couples or working alongside planners and designers, we’re proud to bring world-class musicianship, effortless professionalism, and contagious energy to every celebration.
