Have had the pleasure of witnessing their performances for decades. Had the joy of the Men of Distinction performing at our wedding. Our personal requests were honored ,from downloaded songs played in interim moments ,to our choices from their list being performed in a high energy serendipitous manner. The balance of slow and dance songs were phenomenally sequenced. They even took time to learn my bride's favorite wedding song. Thank all of you for a magical night.

I am absolutely certain you get this from everyone, but Men of Distinction were absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding!!! They were professional, courteous, fun, engaging, and extremely talented. We must have had 90% of the guests tell us how awesome they were. David took the time to make sure we had songs and genres we were happy with and even let us pick most all of their set list. One guest said it best "these guys aren't just musicians, they're entertainers!!!". Thanks so much for the recommendation and all your help in the process. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and they were a very large part. Have a great week!

There is only one word for the band's performance Saturday night: Fabulous! We knew Men of Distinction would deliver based on your confidence in recommending them. Thank you for listening well to what we wanted and for giving us great direction! Men of Distinction was a perfect fit! We love their playlist because they play a wide variety of music genres. They are very engaging of the crowd and they seemed to read the crowd really well. They gave us a terrific dance party which is exactly what the bride and groom wanted! Once the happy couple hit the dance floor, they never left it! We all had a wonderful evening! 

Men of Distinction was the best band I could have ever asked for. I attended a wedding a few weeks before that they performed and they were great! I'm not sure if I'm bias, but they were even better at our wedding!! The band members were extremely easy to talk with and get in touch with prior to the wedding date and Dave (I believe was his name) was so helpful in talking through the details. During the wedding the guests were on the dance floor the entire time. I chatted with them during one of their breaks and they were as nice as could be. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a band for an event. 

Parks and I both were so thrilled, we've received multiple calls and texts from friends saying how amazing the night was. It was definitely due to the awesome band and their interaction with the guests and us to make us feel extra special. 

We have nothing but great things to say - thank you Doug for recommending them when we first talked. They did not disappoint! We will be sure to leave a review on the EastCoast Entertainment website, as anyone that is able to have them perform at their wedding or event will be lucky! Let me know if there's another location we can leave a review as well!

Hello EastCoast Entertainment,

Could you please extend a big thanks to “Men of Distinction”, for the great job they did at the Graham  / Gurysh Wedding reception on October 9th.  They were very professional, entertaining and provided great energy to the wedding celebration!

I did not get to thank them myself, but I believe my wife did get to thank several of the band members. I believe they should have received a nice tip through our wedding planner.

I thought the MOD did a really great job for us. Have seen them several times over the years and this was the best performance of all.  They were on time, pleasant, cooperative and took reasonable breaks.  They played with precision and polish and great energy. But most importantly they seemed like they were genuinely enjoying themselves and the crowd seemed to sense it and it helped everyone have a really good time.  Many people have commented on how impressed they were with the band.  Money well spent for us.  Thanks for all your help, too.  I will not hesitate to recommend your and the MOD's services in the future.

I just wanted to personally thank you and the rest of the Men of Distinction for putting on such an amazing performance at our wedding on 1/10/15.  You truly transformed the reception into a rocking party, and we all loved every minute of it.  The crowd interaction kept everyone entertained, and the music selection was wonderful - especially loved the Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift!!!!  

We have received SO many compliments on the band, and have even had some inquiries from folks who may be interested in using you in the future!

I know I echo my parent's sentiments as well when I say that we could not be more pleased with the way the evening went.  Thank you and your fabulous band for treating us to such an amazing evening!

They did a terrific job and were perfect for our crowd… David was super to work with and they toned down the sound for the room so no one got blown out… went extremely well for the 100th anniversary in our grand old building.

We were SO pleased with Men of Distinction!!! The evening was wonderful in so many ways--the band was such an important part of making it so memorable. We would definitely recommend them AND use them again at a future event!!!

Please give them our best,

We had Men of Distinction play at our daughter's destination wedding in Charleston last weekend and they were AMAZING! The dance floor was packed all night long. They even played a new song, not on their playlist, for the father-daughter dance and did a great job. I cannot say enough good things about them!

Just wanted you to know.

Thanks,

When our son got engaged we knew which band to recommend to his fiance's parents. The Men of Distinction made our daughter's wedding reception a memorable event four years ago. They were available and put on the schedule.

The Men of Distinction played a huge role in the fun that was had by everyone. They all are very talented experienced musicians and their female singer is phenomenal!

The band kept people on the dance floor all night long. Everyone, and I mean everyone, had so much fun and gave the band rave reviews!

The Men of Distinction had a lot to do with making the wedding a truly wonderful, fun and memorable event. What an incredible evening of music and joy!!

Let me preface this by telling you that I am 54 yrs old and have been to more than my share of parties. Without a doubt, the MOD throw the best reception party that I have ever been to and I have been to lots. They engaged the crowd from the beginning and kept everyone in it to the end. The dance floor was full the entire night. The next day my knees hurt from dancing. At least 10 guests commented that the MOD were the best reception band they had heard and that my daughter's reception was the best party that they had ever attended. We could not be more pleased.

As you remember, when giving you my compliments after the party,...... I gave my analogy by telling you that.... "I have seen the seven wonders of the world, the remains of the hanging gardens of Babylon, the Sphinx, the River Nile and the Acropolis. I've been to three goat ropings in Fort Worth, seen the freak shows in Barnum & Bailey's circus, listened to the music in two Ethiopian weddings, and danced with street musicians on Saturday Night in London's Picadilly Circus, but I'm an S.O.B. ...... if I've EVER seen a band as good as the Men of Distinction! They topped off our gala 50th wedding anniversary celebration by making it a spectacular success, with absolutely everyone having more fun than they ever imagined!

They did a great job! I could not have asked for a better band. Nor could I have asked for a better administrative process. Y'all were so easy to get along with. I have dealt with several bands over the years, many of which are demanding, picky, unfriendly, late, etc. You, your company and The Men of Distinction were all great from the beginning to the end. Very professional, yet flexible, friendly, easy going. I would love to work with you again.

They were fabulous! They had fantastic customer service - checked in with us multiple times before the event started to make sure everything was meeting our needs and they sounded great! The guests really enjoyed themselves.

Men of Distinction - I just wanted to say what a fabulous job you did at our reception. Derek and I have both said how great it was to have such a fun and entertaining band! All of our friends and family (young and old) have raved about your performance. Everyone had the best time. We could not have asked for a better band - as you know music can really make or break a party - you definitely made MADE our reception. We can't thank you enough, but we'll try. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I hope to see you at a friends wedding soon - we will definitely recommend you. : )

Men of Distinction performed at our daughter's wedding reception in Sumter on December 27th. They did an incredible job. Not only did the young people enjoy the music & participate until the last song, but the older people as well. David Kitchens called and talked with the bride prior to the wedding regarding her preferences. Their appearance & performance were professional, yet fun. We highly recommend this band. They are perfect for a wedding reception with a diverse age group.

Men of Distinction were beyond fabulous on Thursday!! Everyone raved about them and had such a great time! They really were a smash hit- and perfect for the event! I danced the entire time! Thanks for all of your help and the perfect suggestion for a great band!

Men of Distinction were PHENOMENAL! They were so nice, respectful and professional and were always making sure everything was on time and going smoothly. They were all super nice but David especially was very professional and kind. Can't wait to use them again!

Parents Cocktail went so well. Everyone loved Men of Distinction. They played at our parents cocktail last year and people didn't really remember them because there was no room to dance but, that is not the case this year. I am still hearing fabulous reviews on them. For me, they were very easy to work with, announcing what I needed, when I needed. And for everyone else, they enjoyed that the band interacted with the crowd, including doing silly things such as the can-can. Thanks again for all of your help over the past few months!

Thank you so much for writing me back. I am in the wedding business and have been to over 100 weddings in the last 4 years and want you to know that the Men of Distinction band is the BEST band I have ever seen at a wedding! Honestly, I have seen A LOT of wedding bands and your quality and fun is untouchable.

EastCoast Entertainment was extremely helpful in targeting which band to get for our July wedding in North Carolina. Based on our venue, number of guests, and preferred music style, they matched us with the band they thought would match our interests best, which ended up being Men of Distinction. They were incredible, and were such an absolute hit at our wedding. They had people dancing all night, and even doing the "Can-Can" at one point- very entertaining group. I appreciate EastCoast's efforts to match us with the perfect band for our wedding.

They were great, thank you so much! The group loved them and stayed out on the dance floor until the end of the final song. They were such a fun band and David does a great job of keeping the attendees dancing, laughing and having a great time. Thanks again, let them know that we really had a good time. I will keep them in my file and will definitely let colleagues, etc know about them if they're ever in Charleston.

Sincerely,

The band was great and got rave reviews from our guests. The lead singer was especially good. They got the guests involved making for a fun evening. They were perfect for our daughter's wedding reception! Please thank them for us.

We had a Wedding event July 18, 2009 at the Greensboro Country Club. The band we chose was the Men of Distinction. (We had seen them years before, remembered the horns and how they played great songs.) At the wedding they were simply fabulous.

We printed and looked at their song list on the website. The bride, groom and bride's parents picked the songs we liked. We sent that list to David Kitchings. We made suggestions on the set lengths. We chose songs for the special dances.. first dance, father daughter dance, etc. I even called David a couple weeks before to check in. At that time he said the band had not performed my song choice for the father daughter dance. Then during the call he decided that they were going to practice the song and perform if for us. They did a great job as the professional musicians that they are. Tell David thank you again.

Once the special dances were done the party really started. The dance floor was overflowing ALL NIGHT, except during their breaks.When everyone raved about the band we knew we had made the right choice.

We loved Men of Distinction! They were so much fun. We have received numerous compliments about the Debutante Ball this year and everyone has commented that the band was the best we have had. I think the usual orchestra type band may be better at the waltz portion of the evening, but if we had not been so rushed to reschedule the event, we could have spent more time working out the presentation details with Men of Distinction. They saved me from what could have been a disaster and made it a wonderful evening to remember!
