There are truly no words. Saturday was the most magical day of my life. I had a vision and they took it and created a musical fairytale wonderland for the ceremony and the most fun and excitingly epic party for the reception. Every note was outstanding. I know playing in that cold is impossible, but they elevated above. For the rest of my life, I will never feel the way that walk down the aisle made me feel with their incredible musical sound playing in the background. I felt the most love and joy from those with me and those who have gone. They allowed me to express my love to everyone there and especially my love for Tom and our family members. Truly, they have an unbelievable gift, and I am forever grateful to them. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Royal Suits and Royal Strings very much for making mine and Tom’s day simply magical

First and foremost, I have to tell you about the live band, "The Royal Suits." They were nothing short of amazing. Their performance was a true highlight of the evening, and I found myself completely blown away by their talent and energy. The atmosphere they created with their music was unforgettable. I don't usually write reviews or share my thoughts, but I couldn't let this exceptional experience go unnoticed.
Additionally, I want to commend the professionalism and efficiency of the event organization, especially Rich. He made the entire process seem effortless, and everything ran seamlessly. His attention to detail and his ability to ensure a smooth and enjoyable evening for everyone was truly impressive.
I believe that the success of an event like this often depends on the small but significant details, and Pinehurst Resort, along with "The Royal Suits", exceeded all expectations. It was a remarkable experience, and I wanted to make sure you were aware of it.
Once again, thank you for your work. It was a night to remember.

Royal Suits was absolutely incredible. It was seamless and professional working with ECE and Royal Suits could not have been more perfect. All band members were super personable and kind. More importantly Royal Suits was the most fun and talented band I have ever seen at a wedding. Their talent was off the charts and the music was incredible. Every single person at our wedding is talking about the band. They played all the music we wanted and the crowd absolutely loved them. High energy and music was soooooo good. Best night ever. Highly recommend. They learned our first dance ‘all Your’n’ and executed it flawlessly. Amazing experience from start to finish.

The Royal Suits and the royal strings were FANTASTIC. They were so great to work with! I had many people say it was the best band they have ever heard at a wedding. It was such an honor to have them! I will definitely recommend them if anyone needs a band!

Thanks so much for reaching out, the Royal Suits were amazing as you predicted. They certainly exceeded expectations and even learned a Phish song for our first dance. We can’t imagine our wedding without having them there, they brought so much fun energy, and the crowd was loving it all night long. Thank you so much for helping to make it all happen. We will certainly share your info and recommend the Royal Suits to anybody that asks and will leave a rating later this week.

We had the most spectacular experience with Royal Suits. They exceeded expectations and put on an amazing show. Everyone had an absolute blast, and left sweating and smiling ear to ear. They truly created an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be leaving a review so others can take advantage of their talent as well. Thank you for everything!

I have always enjoyed and recommend every band I have worked with from East Coast Entertainment. But Royal Suits has to be my new favorite. Not only was Rich so very accommodating in the planning. They blew us away with song, after song that kept everyone dancing & singing along of all ages.

Royal Suits was absolutely fabulous - we had people coming up to us all night telling us that they were the best wedding band they had ever heard! Other people wanted their contact info so they could book the band for their own event. From the ceremony music to the reception, they were on point with everything. Our biggest request from the band was that they had the dance floor packed all night, and they definitely delivered. Could not recommend them more!!

You were 100% right when you said people would leave saying it was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Thank you for seeing our vision and recommending the PERFECT fit for our night. People will not stop talking about how freaking awesome they were! Also the shoutout to my Mom before they played her song request, the Phish song for Andrew and Rihanna for me! Ahh I could go on. Thank you doesn’t even begin to cover it.

The Royal Suits were absolutely phenomenal!!! The entire party was raving about them all night and even now, 2 weeks after the wedding! They learned our special request songs with flying colors, made our hora the best time ever, and had everyone on the dance floor the entire time they were performing. The way they ended the night, with us (the bride and groom) singing "Don't Stop Believing" and then "Take Me Home, Country Roads" as the encore was incredibly memorable and special for both the couple and all of the guests. It was the absolute best way to end the special night we could have dreamed of, and we are absolutely thrilled with the band's performance. The Royal Suits were a dream come true in every way-- everyone was asking if they would travel to New York, Florida, etc. as they considered their own events in the future. We had multiple guests say you were the best wedding band they ever heard, and we agree. Can't thank you all enough, you really made our wedding spectacular!!

My wife and I couldn't have been more glad to have chosen The Royal Suits for our wedding. The band exceeded our expectations in every way. We were introduced to the band leader, Rich Brownstein, early in the process, and Rich was super professional, courteous, and responsive (which was not a surprise since he previously ran music venues in NYC). When it comes to the performance, my only regret was not having them involved in more parts of the wedding than just the reception. The band is incredibly musical, diverse, energetic, significantly more edgy/fun than a classic wedding band, and you can tell that the band members genuinely enjoy each others' company. They were able to read the room in real time and play hits that kept our guests on the dance floor the entire time. They ended their set with an incredible 90’s hip-hop medley that simply can't be replicated. We've received so many compliments about the band and we could not have been more thankful that we chose The Royal Suits.

Ok wow. Wow wow wow. Our feet are dying, there was more than one pair of pants torn, and I crowd surfed in a wedding gown. They were absolutely awesome! We will definitely be leaving some 10 star reviews! Thank you for your assistance in the process! We truly had the most amazing night and every guest was on the dance floor the entire time!

I do not have words for how amazing The Royal Suits were at our wedding last Friday at Homewood. I keep trying to think of ways to describe how wonderful you were but truly words just don’t do your work justice. My husband and I have been together for 12 years and during our time together have been to many, many weddings. We are also avid concert goers and cherish live music. We have never in our lives had as amazing an experience dancing as we did to your performance at our wedding! You hit every single note and brought the most fun, upbeat energy of all time. Every one of our guests felt comfortable to completely lose themselves in the music and dance with wild (and I mean wild) abandon. I have never seen a group of people leave it all on the dance floor like that- it honestly felt other worldly at times. It had been so long since I had felt collective joy like that and looked around and seen others in such an utterly blissful state! And it was ALL because of you and the love, passion, talent and energy you put into your music and events. Jake and I have lost count at how many people came up to us and told us that y’all were not only the best wedding band but the best live music they have ever experienced. I keep sending people y’all’s information because people want to book y’all for their next event! We are now your biggest fans and will recommend you to any and everyone we know. As you know, losing my mom this year and getting married without her was indescribably difficult. I didn’t know if I would be able to go through with it without her by our side. She absolutely loved your work from your promo videos and knew how to spot talented musicians when she saw them. She was the one who originally found you all on a google search so I feel like us working with The Royal Suits was truly meant to be. My mom would have been so proud and grateful for how special you made our big day. And you really did make it- it would not have been the same without you all! Thank you for everything. We love you guys!

The Royal Suits were incredible! The number one thing everyone says to us when we talk about the wedding is “OH MY GOD AND THAT BAND!!!!” Like we don’t even know where to begin with praise. Beyond our wildest dreams. Some friends got their contact info for their events. Seriously the most talented musicians, kindest people, and so so fun and engaging. Thank you SOOOO much!!!!

From the time the band arrived they were very upbeat and positive and very cooperative. They greeted me and introduced themselves and let me know that they were willing and ready to work as professionals during set up, performance and tear down. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Their set up was really nicely done and I let them know that and how much we appreciated working with them. They were very high energy and the wedding guests danced the entire night from beginning to end! Honestly, they are one of the best bands in every respect that I have dealt with over my career. We would love to have them back again anytime in the future.

We were thrilled with the band. I can’t say enough good things about them. Not only were they incredibly talented for the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception, they were great fun. They were the perfect combination of engaging and professional. They were also very gracious sharing the dressing room with the wedding party. It was a perfect night and the band had an enormous hand in that.

THIS BAND!!!! My daughter went to great lengths to plan her special day and after consulting with Ellie at East Coast we chose THE ROYAL SUITS. They make a special event unforgettable. From starting with 60's music for the older crowd to ending with current favorites, there was never an empty space on the dance floor. We even had to usher people off the floor so my daughter could have the last dance. The positive energy, never a pause between songs, and the outstanding musical talent filled the beautiful space. Even the event coordinator and staff were amazed at the talent and professionalism of this group. I almost feel like after my feet stop hurting from dancing so much that I need to come up with another event just to book THE ROYAL SUITS. They are better than any group I have ever heard, even for New Orleans Mardi Gras balls.

Everything about our experience with this band has surpassed our expectations. From the start, Ellie from ECE was great to work with and such help with finding the right band and the booking process. She definitely pointed us in the right direction! After we booked The Royal Suits, we had some special requests and communication was great with Rich, they were so accommodating! They learned our first dance song which sounded beautiful and from there absolutely rocked our wedding reception. They are so talented and so high energy- one of those bands you can’t help but dance to! Every guest is STILL talking about how great the band was. We have a lot of musicians in our family and they were blown away at the talent! So much variety in what they can do and they completely read our crowd to cater the music and keep people partying! You can tell they love what they do and are enjoying themselves too. Our dance floor was packed the whole night. It was the ultimate party thanks to these guys. If you want everyone to have the best time at your wedding- book them!

Do yourself a favor and STOP READING THESE REVIEWS RIGHT NOW and BOOK THIS BAND!! You will not be disappointed, I can promise you that. The Royal Suits played at our wedding reception in Asheville last month. And what else can I say? They completely blew our minds and brought down the house!! Every member of this band plays a critical role, and I swear, their collective talent is like nothing you'll ever experience. So many people came up to us after and said it was the BEST BAND they'd ever seen and that it felt like they went to a wedding...with a concert included!! Honestly, we can't thank you guys enough for putting on such an incredible show. A show that perfectly ranges from all the 'feel good' Motown classics everyone loves, to some of the best of the 90s & 2000s to Today’s Hits…and even some ghetto rap sprinkled in there for fun. The part Ian and I will never forget, however, was the EPIC ending to what was the best night of our lives. Ave, the band's powerful and dynamic female lead vocalist, brought us on stage with her to close the night out with 'Don't Stop Believing' -- a wedding closer classic. My husband and I got to feel like total rockstars for a moment, surrounded by this kickass band and all the people in the world that we love. Guys. BOOK THIS BAND!! They're the best!!!

If you want your wedding (or any other event) to stand out from the rest, then book The Suits! I can honestly say I am a music snob, and this band is really talented. On top of their talent, they know how to throw a party!
From the start, Ellie and Rich were attentive and listened to what we were looking for and then delivered on the night of the wedding.
I must have heard “This band is incredible” 1000 times that night. No one left the dance floor because the energy just kept going. Can’t say enough great things about The Royal Suits. BOOK THEM and go worry about something else!
