A Little Note about References...
From time to time, people request
references from us to help them put their mind at ease about using us as their
entertainment. Making sure that your entertainers are the
"Professionals" they claim to be is very important. Atlantic Coast Entertainment gets
literally hundreds of "Thank You" cards each and every year, from
clients with many different entertainment needs. We have posted a small sample
of the "Thank You" notes in varying forms from Past Clients below. If you would like to view all of our client "Thank You" cards
you can stop by our office and read as many of them as you like. Please
understand that even though many clients we have performed for have told us that
we can use them as references and we appreciate that very much, we respect our
clients privacy and will NEVER give out personal phone numbers to contact them
regarding our past work with them. We will however, provide you with
"Professional References" from Banquet Managers, Caterers,
Photographers, Videographers and other professionals that have actually seen
Atlantic Coast Entertainment perform, which are located at the bottom of the
page.
