    Fantastic band that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night!

    We had a wonderful experience with JTucker and the Krewe! They were better than we ever could have imagined. All of our guests had a blast on the dance floor (and never left), and the band played a perfect song selection and was super interactive with the crowd! The band is the number one vendor we received compliments on following the wedding - so many people have asked us about them and said they were the best wedding band they have ever seen! Haywood handled the announcements beautifully and also helped us move the ceremony PA system indoors when a surprise rain shower hit. We added cocktail hour jazz music which was fantastic and helped create such a sophisticated atmosphere! Overall, we were blown away by the performance of JTucker and the Krewe, and they helped us to have the wedding of our dreams! I would highly recommend them to anyone having a wedding or event - they will help you have the ultimate party and keep your guests on the dance floor all night!

    JTucker and the Krewe's reply:

    Sterling, thank you for your great review of JTucker and the Krewe! We're thrilled they helped make your wedding unforgettable with their stellar performance and professionalism. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to helping create more magical moments at future events! ECE Team

    Best Band Ever - Review from every guest

    We were told almost 30+ times by friends and family this was the best wedding band they've ever experienced. From start to finish this band cares about your day, wants to give you the performance you're looking for and they are honored and excited to be there. East Coast Entertainment is super easy to find bands with and communicate with. Once booked, J Tucker and his team were incredible. They were flexible with unique stage size, learning 2 songs for us, letting us select songs we like from their list and songs we definitely did not want playing. They adjusted during their set (I think) based on what people were getting really feeling. They interacted with our guests, got off the stage and were getting low with us, even with their guitars/trumpets/etc!! From vocals to drums to horns everything was excellent. The sound system they bring is incredible as well. We had a trio play jazz music during cocktail hour then had the entire band for 2 hours after dinner. Both settings were exactly what we were looking for. Look no further for a band with top notch vocals, musicians, equipment and performers to bring your wedding vision to life

    JTucker and the Krewe's reply:

    Alex, thank you so much for your kind review. We're thrilled to hear that they were able to make your wedding day truly special and memorable. It's fantastic to know that they were able to accommodate your unique requests and preferences, and that their performance exceeded your expectations. We take great pride in representing top-notch talent like JTucker and the Krewe, and we're delighted that they were able to bring your wedding vision to life. If you ever need entertainment for future events, don't hesitate to reach out to us again, ECE Team

    Absolutely fantastic!

    The Krewe was AMAZING!! They sounded fantastic and were so high energy – they were dancing with our guests while belting their faces off. They even brought their own lighting setup and smoke machine! They really kept the party going the whole night, and all of our guests kept telling us how much they loved the band. They absolutely made the reception!

    We love the Krewe!

    We had an AMAZING time with The Krewe, they were a huge hit with us and all of our guests. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needed a band. The price was right and they really brought the party from audience interaction to the bubble machine. We cannot say enough good things about them.

    The Krewe is simply incredible

    The Krewe was the best wedding band we could imagine. Our original band bailed a month before the wedding and The Krewe came in and completely crushed it at our wedding. People are still raving about them. If you like soul, funk, R&B, or just plain good music, this is the band you're looking for.

    Brad was wonderful from start to finish which with Covid was a 2 year process. He even mailed my daughter a card on the first wedding date.!!

    The Krewe and Haywood past our expectations. They were all so nice and their music was unbelievable. Everyone danced all night long. Couldn’t of gotten a better band. Everyone is still talking about them. Perfect and first class and very talented. The Sax player was so good. The girls were excellent. All of them great!! Can’t wait til my other daughter gets married one day They will be our band again for sure.

    Excellent Wedding Reception Band

    The Krewe KILLED at our wedding reception! They were totally professional, talented, organized and overall amazing. Tons of people told us that they’d never had so much fun at a wedding reception before. They were also a super reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!

    An excellent choice for a wedding band!

    The Krewe was awesome!
    They played just what we wanted them to play! And they learn three songs as promised. They were very professional and friendly and polite. The wedding guest danced and danced and we all had the best time!
    We hired the horns as extra. And I’m so glad we did! They added an amazing element to the band.

    Perfection

    The KREWE really did it again! They were just as popular this year (if not more) than last year’s event. I appreciated their flexibility to push back their performance due to some other delays and they’re ability to quickly bring everyone to the dance floor!

    Best Wedding Band By Far!

    The Krewe was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding reception. They were super accommodating and let us add special touches to our reception that were personal for us as well as doing what they do best. They kept a crowd on the dance floor all night long. Not only that but they interacted with our guests, coming out on the dance floor with us and sang and danced with the group. I've received countless comments from my guests (there were 200 people there!) about how The Krewe was the best wedding band they've ever heard. I will forever refer this band to anyone who is ever in need of a great band.

    An easy choice as your wedding band

    We received quite a few compliments on the Krewe and had friends and family searching when they could see them perform down in Richmond. Their performance had a professional flow that welcomed our guests with some smoother more jazzy instrumental music. Dinner was upbeat with some Motown favorites and they went to the crowd-pleasing dance inspiring music for the rest of the night. I had a phone call with Haywood the week of the wedding and we hammered out all of the details that ensured the Krewe gave us the reception we wanted. They handled the announcements and kept everything on schedule. They did this with far less direction than they're probably used to and it felt like we'd planned every step.

    I booked bands for my fraternity in college and book them for my brewery now. I've dealt with dozens of them. Wedding bands can feel a little more pricey but it's because they're doing so much more. The Krewe was a bargain in their price range and I'd highly recommend them.

    Top Quality, Professional, Excellent

    The Krewe played for our annual back-tie event last Friday and could not have been more impressed with the band and their leader, Haywood Tucker. Logistically, they had everything setup and soundchecks performed prior to guests arriving. They were onstage and ready to play precisely when we asked them to. The things that set them apart from other bands was their sound qualify and song selection. They covered the map from old to new, but did not play the same old songs you've heard a 1,000 times over. They happily accepted requests as well. The dance floor was full the entire evening. I would highly recommend the Krewe to anyone for any occasion and assure you they can deliver! Great value.

    The Krewe - 6/1/19 @ Spotswood CC

    We had such a great time and the Krewe was on another level. They were incredibly talented in their music, professional in dealing with me (they basically took the reigns with limited input/guidance and ran that reception perfectly) and they were very engaged with the crowd - everyone loved them.

    A Great Experience

    The Krewe is an incredible band with great talent, energy, and willingness to suit your preference of music. The crowd fed off their enthusiasm, and everyone had an awesome time. I would definitely recommend The Krewe for any event, and hope I can see them again!

    Incredible!

    The Krewe has played at several of our events and we have been more than impressed by their performance every time. Not only is their music one of a kind, but they are great performers and really know how to engage everyone in the crowd! We highly recommend the Krewe for any event, and would love to have them again in the future.

    Couldn't have asked for a better band!

    The Krewe was exactly what we wanted for our wedding band. They were so friendly and easy to work with. They did an amazing job and made for such a fun night. I had several guests tell me they were one of the best wedding bands they've seen - and my friends have been to alot of weddings. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun band that will get your guests out on the dance floor.

    The Krewe was FANTASTIC at our company event! They arrived and were ready to go right on time – very professional. They did a great job interacting with us. Amazing voices, talented musicians and great song lineup. I randomly asked employees what they thought and it was all positive. I would rate them an 11 out of 10.

    Thank you SO MUCH, Gail! We had an absolute blast. We appreciate you!

    Enthusiastic, flexible and amazing!

    The Krewe recently played at a wedding for one of my couples and they were fantastic! They were flexible throughout the reception with any changes or additions and were willing to work with us to make additional announcements. All the guests were raving about how wonderful they were! It was the first feedback I received from my couple- how amazing the Krewe was!! THANK YOU!

    The Krewe was such a delight to work with! Scheduling and coordinating with the band was very easy and they were very professional. They arrived earlier than expected, which was great to ensure that they were set up on time and ready to go as we have a challenging venue. They started off with some lighter/easier music but as the night went on they cranked it up and the crowd loved it! All of our guests loved the show!

    Wonderful to work with- great music, great people!

    Krewe is a great wedding band- they not only had a great sound and energy, but they were flexible in working with us to MC the event and going with the flow when the timeline got a little off. Highly recommend!

    Great band that kept the party going!

    The Krewe was one of the best parts of our wedding! We hired them through East Coast Entertainment after watching a video of them on YouTube and were blown away the night of the wedding. They sounded great, played fun, upbeat music and kept the party going until the very last minute. They even learned a new song to play for our first dance and sounded fantastic during it. The singers made a point to come up to us and introduce themselves and once I told them I loved Bruno Mars and Whitney Houston, they immediately started playing more of those songs. Everyone at the wedding said they loved the band. We definitely would recommend them!
