Amazing, responsive, and brought down the house!

After 8 performed at our reception and KILLED IT! Not only did they sound amazing, but they got our guests dancing! I had the privilege of hearing them perform at another wedding and knew that their style and energy was perfect for me! Their music repertoire is massive and they can truly play whatever you love and want! Russ Bryant, their band manager, was extremely responsive and answered any questions I had during the planning process. Not only did After 8 play our reception, but one of their lead singers, Brandon, officiated our wedding! It was so nice being able to get so much out of one vendor. Cannot recommend them enough!

Phenomenal

We had After 8 for our wedding and they were an absolute hit. Everyone told us how much they loved the band. They were incredibly responsive and receptive to any ideas, but we asked them to curate a playlist and they nailed it for all the different generations at the wedding. Everyone was dancing from the get go and they kept the energy up for the whole night. They’ve clearly done this before and know how to make any wedding go off without a hitch. Would recommend to any and everyone!
