7.27 wedding success

Sal was absolutely everything we needed from the moment we began meeting with him virtually, until the very last song (Mr. Brightside) was played at the reception.

Not only was he respectful of what we wanted out of our wedding ceremony/reception, he was helpful with suggestions and past experiences when we needed them. Sal was honest, energetic and did everything he could to ensure our wedding was a success… AND IT WAS. He quarterbacked the ceremony with zero issues, and followed suit during the reception with the wedding party announcements and introductions

The music had everyone on the dance floor from small children, to the bride and grooms parents, and we cannot thank him and his wife Vanessa for everything they did during the day.

To end the night before leaving, Sal made sure to take a quick second with us both to say how great of a night it was and even surprised us with a slap bracelet that contained a usb that had videos of the ceremony, speeches and our first dance. This truly blew us away and we will cherish those videos forever

Thank you again for everything, our wedding night was an amazing time all thanks to the help from After Hours Events of New England

Highly Recommend!

We hired Mike and Cathy as our DJ and officiant for our wedding in June 2024 and they were amazing!! They were extremely responsive to our questions throughout the planning process, professional, organized and fun!! We had so many guests tell us that the music selection was the best that they've ever heard at a wedding, and that they couldn't even take a bathroom break because every song that came on they wanted to stay on the dance floor for! The online planning form was streamline, detailed, and easy to fill out. Based on our requested song selections, Mike was able to choose music to fill the night that perfectly matched our vibe. He played my dinner song requests when he saw me sitting and eating so that I could enjoy them! His fun, enthusiastic energy was exactly what we wanted. It truly was the best night of our lives. Cathy takes candid photos and videos throughout the reception and gives them to you in a flash drive at the end of the night, which truly was the cherry on top. We found their services to be very reasonably priced compared to others, and we really felt like they cared about us as individuals and not just as another customer. Thank you After Hours for the most amazing night!! We are so happy we booked Mike and Cathy for our wedding!

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Jim Casso from After Hours DJ for a wedding. He was very outgoing, an absolute joy to work with and truly cared about his couple. He went above and beyond to make sure his couple's day was perfect. I received a timeline one week prior to the wedding day, the wireless microphone was clear throughout the ceremony - and from what I heard from the couple and their parents, their guests danced the night away. There was an issue after the ceremony and Jim contacted me directly to make sure that his client had no issues. I highly recommend Jim for any event!
