Hi Lynn - Class Act was absolutely fabulous!!!! Everyone loved them.. I wish the party could have lasted all night! I enjoyed talking to Stephon for a few minutes at the end, and he said they had fun too. The bride & groom were smiling all night as well as all their friends and family! The dancing never stopped...Many thanks for your strong recommendation of them. We were very pleased and have recommended that CCV hire them for a club function if possible! Wish we could have another party!!

Hi - This weekend went flawlessly and Class Act was such a hit. Everyone loved having them play for us, especially because they were such a lively and interactive band. Spottswood fell through on providing the stage that they had promised would be there but this didn't seem to be a problem for the band at all. We were all very pleased and working with Stephon was really easy! Thank you so much for helping me with the event and I look forward to working with you again in the future!

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know what a fantastic group you have in Class Act.I worked with them on Saturday night at a wedding reception and beyond their talent, they were super easy to work with and get along with, which for a planner, is sooooo nice. I can't tell you how many bands I've worked with that roll in late, don't want to talk to me about the timeline, and act like an act "on tour". It's so refreshing to work with a group who "gets it" - that there's an event going on and if we work as a team, it'll come off so much nicer for everyone -especially the client. I will DEFINITELY recommend them to other clients looking for a band. Please pass this on to the band for me.

Oh my gosh-the band was AWESOME! They were so accommodating; I've worked with some bands that are not flexible on schedule, break times, etc. and Class Act was Truly a CLASS ACT!All they kept saying was "this is your event, we will do whatever you want us to do,we want your guests to enjoy themselves". I LOVE them! Secondly, they really engaged the attendees and did a whole audience participation thing which I am STILL hearing about! People had so much fun (there was a conga line of doctors at one point-truly a sight to see...I thought we were on a cruise ship).They got EVERYONE up on the dance floor and everyone had a fabulous time. I will recommend them to anyone I know. Several people are already talking about hiring them for their own events..we loved them.

Thank you for all your help and for recommending such a great group!

Class Act was a class act as always. We've had them provide music for our date parties each semester for the past few years and for good reason. Their music selection is a great mix of Motown and oldies with some newer music mixed in to change things up. They are very accommodating and easy to work with. They even moved inside mid show when we needed to cut the noise outside. They sound awesome and we always have a great time with them. Everyone was dancing non-stop. They even let brothers join in for a few songs and play with the band. They have the perfect sound and style for our date parties and sororities are now trying to book them after attending our event. I highly recommend Class Act and we will definitely have them back.

Hi Mark - Have been traveling cross country and just returned to AZ.

Regarding Class Act: 1- There is nothing they wouldn't do if they were able, to make the event as special as possible. For instance, not only did Stephon play during the processional, his lead singer added vocals. AMAZING!! 2- They not only played with style and energy, they were energized and moved and rocked the house down! 3- Even his wife sang a whole bunch.

In other words, they were beyond description. The comments were not just positive, they were euphoric. One friend of ours is a booking agent for professional acts. He was beside himself with praise. You should know that their internet site sells them so so so short. Our videographer thought they were so dynamite that he is sending them the recording of the many sets of the night. Mark...these folks are gold Much thanks

Hi Graham,

I think both Chloe and I agree that Class Act was instrumental (no pun intended) in making the wedding a huge success. So many people came up to us during and after the wedding and just raved and raved about the band. They literally had the ENTIRE room dancing - young and old alike. They came down onto the dance floor and danced with us; they invited us on stage to do some solos on the keys - it was awesome. We got so many great pictures of Chloe and I on stage with her dad and the best man playing keys. Stephon was incredibly helpful and a joy to work with. He helped us through some iPod trouble we were having and the band ended up playing the first dance for my mom and I, which was a last-minute change, but it worked out great. They just had so much energy and enthusiasm and kept it moving for us well past midnight. They also played Auld lang sein (sp?) at midnight and did a count-down, which was fun for all. Honestly, we have nothing but glowing reviews. They were super easy to work with, and easily the most memorable part of the reception. Chloe and I owe them a big thank you letter, which we haven't quite gotten around to writing yet (there are so many to do!), but it's on the list. Also, we really want to say thanks to you Graham for putting us in touch with such a fantastic band and making the whole process go smoothly. Couldn't have done without you and EastCoast!
Thanks again for everything.

Best,

Dear Stephon,

I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for helping to create the most perfect wedding reception. You and the band were absolutely AMAZING. Everyone including us have said "That was the most fun we have ever had at a wedding." We had never seen a dance floor at a wedding so full the ENTIRE evening! We loved the "Shake Your Money Maker" dance and getting up on stage with you. It was all perfect.

Also, thank you so much for learning the song for our first dance. The entire time we were dancing we kept saying to one another how wonderful you guys are.

We will definitely be recommending you to everyone!

Thanks again!

"With their love for music bringing them together, the couple was intent on incorporating their unique musical affections into the wedding day. The couple shared a first dance to Van Morrison's, "Into the Mystic. Early in the evening, jazz tunes were piped into the speakers that would later give way to a party! The band "Class Act" managed by EastCoast Entertainment, warmed up quickly and put on a fabulous show. This eclectic mix of Motown, funk and soul kept the crowd on their feet until the midnight hour finishing up with a dance-off that would put Soul Train to shame. At one point in the evening Robert, something of a guitar virtuoso, jumped up on stage and had an impromptu jam session with the band. The crowd cheered and clapped with captivated smiles on their faces while the bride stood on the front row almost as an audience of one for her groom!"
