For more than 40 years, Gulf Coast Entertainment has helped thousands of brides and grooms find the perfect bands for their wedding receptions in Houston, throughout the State of Texas, and across the United States. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated orchestra, a variety band with a contemporary edge, a little country-western swing, or a rockin’ DJ, let us help you select the perfect group for your unforgettable wedding reception.

We will help you from engagement to the Big Day, helping you select the appropriate band for your venue, make sure all of the power, staging, and other aspects match up with your band’s requirements, help you decide on the perfect tunes for your first dance, mother/son, and father/daughter dances and make sure your band can play them, and advance all of the production details with your venue, other vendors, and/or event coordinator, so your event goes off without a hitch.

Already have an event coordinator? Perfect! We work with coordinators all the time and our combined efforts can make your event that much smoother for you so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Doing this on your own? Great! We are here to help and will present you with only the most professional groups in the industry. Leading up to your Big Day, we make sure the band stays up to date with your latest requests and negotiate with them to ensure they will accommodate your wishes.
