Trademark's exciting brand of "Sophisticated Fun" will add the perfect touch to Galas, Corporate Events, Exclusive Social Functions or anywhere you need remarkable entertainment.
Hi Kris - Absolutely we will use Trademark again!!! I have been in this position for 15 years and planned a lot of events. I have never had one where there was people dancing the entire night. With the last band we had, there would be whole songs that no one danced and the same story with a couple of DJs. With Trademark, our colleagues were dancing during dinner and the dance floor stayed full right up to the end. I have heard over and over again about how much everyone enjoyed the band and wished they had played longer.
Trademark was very professional and I honestly can not say enough about them. They were W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L and helped to make our event a huge success! If they need a referral, I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. If you can not guess, I was extremely satisfied.

Corporate Event
James - The last of out of town guest are on their way home and we are beginning to get back to normal. We and all of the wedding guest had a wonderful time. Everyone I have talked to has commented 'That Band was great!'. At least a dozen people came to me during the reception and talked about how great you guys are. Most wanted to know how I found you.
The way you entertain and involve the guests and wedding party, in addition to the fantastic talent of all your band members; made your performance a huge and memorable hit with all the guests.
My wife and I agree that you were the best decision we made for the wedding. Thank You for making the wedding reception an event to remember.

I had to let you know how great the band was for my daughter's wedding reception at James River on 6th August! How much fun! I want to have another party so I can have them! They took the party to a whole other level and it was a blast! What a great band! Thank you so much - they were a huge part of the success of the evening and could not have been easier to work with!

My heart is full of thanks for many things, but I am particularly thankful that we found Trademark for our daughter's wedding this past Saturday. James Carson was a dream to work with. From Trademark's handsome attire, coordinating with the wedding colors, to the talented vocalists, everything was perfection. I am sore from the top of my head to the tips of my toes from dancing to virtually every song. There was no room on the dance floor because everyone HAD to dance. I even got the Priest to dance with me. We had several professional entertainers in the audience who raved about Trademark. A highlight was their rendition of Ray Charles's "America", which they came up with on their own, without prompting. There were many military guests, including a guy who lost a leg in Afghanistan and another guy who has spent over 2 years of his life in Iraq and Afghanistan. There was not a dry eye in the house. I was very, very happy. It was just what I wanted. Trademark has been to a thousand weddings, but I have only one daughter to be married. We all felt as if they were performing like there was no tomorrow and especially for us. If they need references, I am happy to provide them. With great sincerity,

You guys rock. Best Wedding band ever. I'm sure you'll get additional work from this gig. And the whole crowd loved you. Fantastic music selection and fun time all around. Many, many thanks.

I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed your band at my daughter's wedding on Saturday. I have never seen so many family members get up and dance! My 85 year old uncle, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and my aunt, who will turn 90 years old soon, were both on the dance floor having a ball! It was an amazing night and we have heard so many nice comments about the music from family and friends. And we thought that the bridesmaids had rehearsed their parts! Everyone looked so natural!Please tell the female singer in the band that she was awesome!

The evening was perfect. Trademark was wonderful to work with in every way. The variety of their music kept the crowd on the dance floor all night long. James Carson was fabulous! The lead female singer was the best that I have heard in many a year. We were thrilled! Friends from all over the world came to the wedding and they loved the music. Thank you so very much.

What can we say except, WOW!As always Trademark was fabulous and the best band in town! They are wonderful to work with, professional, fun, prepared, and just plain nice! We loved every minute of the evening. They are masters at directing the evening's pace. My 88 year old mother-in-law, who had a broken toe, couldn't stop "dancing" and is still talking about the band! She wants to have another party with them. Many thanks for arranging the evening. If they ever need a recommendation, please send them our way.

Hi James and the rest of Trademark!
I just wanted to thank you all immensely for the absolutely amazing job that you all did at Joe and I's wedding on April 25th!!!! You all were on fire and have amazing talent! Everyone had an absolute blast and are still talking about the band. We loved how you got everyone so involved and had the whole party just rocking! All of our guests (including Joe) thought that me and the girls had rehearsed Stop in the Name of Love...everyone loved it!!! Our photographers said that they've never seen such a party (and they mostly photograph weddings!). The photographers said that they turned around and at least 175 people were packed onto the dance floor getting low and everyone had a smile on their face and were having the time of their life! When you all stopped playing everyone said that they could have kept on dancing for 5 more hours!
Seriously, you all were PHENOMONAL!! I will recommend you again and again to friends in the area that are getting married. We so much appreciate the fabulous job that you all did and hope that you all had fun as well. We had an absolute blast and will always remember the evening for the fantastic entertainment!
Thank you so much again!
Lindsay and Joe Mize
Trademark was a huge success! They did an awesome job. They were professional and courteous, their appearance and stage presence was impeccable and they can really sing and play. I was most impressed with their skill in keeping the guests involved and "in the mood". I would not hesitate to recommend your company or the band to anyone. We have one more daughter but it will be at least 4-5 years before she weds and I told them they needed to stay around for that!

Words cannot possibly express how much fun we had at the "Richmond Reception". I have received many letters, emails and phone calls thanking me for the great time, etc. The common thread in all of these is how great the band was and how much fun they were. As the hostess, I could have not been more pleased. In fact, I was more than pleased..I was truly ecstatic!Prior to the event, James Carson was a pleasure to work with and Trademark is made up of the nicest, most talented people! Sometime in the future, when my daughter gets married, we will base her wedding date around the availability of Trademark. We absolutely loved them.

Trademark was a very big "hit", just as I knew they would be. The music selection was wonderful, their interaction with the crowd was very well received, and...They allowed one of our members to play his sax with them which also made us very happy!!! I will definately recommend you all in the future.

Trademark was amazing. We had a big crowd and the dance floor was packed the whole time! They were flexible with songs, and the crowd participation was perfect. Our venue loves having them there because they are so much fun.
Wedding Reception
Hiring Trademark to play at our reception was the best decision we made besides deciding to get married!
Wedding Reception
People danced who almost never venture on to the dance floor! Trademark is a professional group from start to finish: contacting us and the venue in advance, arriving and setting up on time, planning a schedule with us and directing the events of the evening. You enabled us to enjoy our own party.
Wedding Reception
You were amazing! The way you interacted with the audience was so much fun. Obviously, no matter how old or young one might be, your music has universal appeal. You really worked some magic on a lot of folks. You brought people together with wonderful sounds. You made people smile that had been crying; you made memories for people to hold in their hearts for many years to come. You really became the glue that bonded two families that had never met before. We all just felt so happy. The only thing that made me sad was that I couldn't slow the evening down and make it last forever.
Wedding Reception
Trademark was fabulous. One of our friends said they'd never been in the same room with a band that good!
Wedding Reception
George and I have already had requests to renew our vows so that we could all come together and relive the incredibly fun reception that Trademark had so much to do with. They really can bring together a group of various ages and instill a sense of togetherness among people who may have never met each other.

wedding reception
They have CLASS! They were excellent, not only in their music, but they were very accommodating, enjoyable to work with and easy to be around. The volume was perfect and James Carson checked in with us regularly about the music. We knew they were going to be great when we heard their DVD at home and everyone in the room got up and started dancing!
Wedding Reception
They were fantastic. Very professional, courteous, easy to work with and worth every penny we paid them. Musically they are right on and as far as audience participation, they were great. This is one of the best bands in your stable!
Dance Club
They were amazing - truly. The guests loved them. Their music is terrific, but they are the best I've seen at getting a crowd into the event. This wedding had 12 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen and Trademark had all the girls on stage and all the "old folks" like us just loved seeing them dancing and having fun. I'd hire them again in a minute. Great group for you to be representing.
Wedding Reception
They were absolutely fantastic, a joy to work with. Very interactive-we had an 84 yr old lady leading the conga line. It's the best entertainment we've ever had. These people didn't know what entertainment was until we called EastCoast Entertainment!
Beth Shalom Auxiliary
They are an absolutely fantastic band and numerous people told me
how much they enjoyed both dancing and listening to their music.
They are very versatile and provided a wide range of music that
was well received by the older people as well as the young adults.
Queens Ball,
Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival
They were wonderful! Very professional, great music, followed our
agreed-upon times, etc. I'd book them again in a skinny minute.
