Afterglow Avenue

We were very happy with Ryan and his band. They sounded absolutely incredible and were very professional and fun! So many of our guests mentioned after the wedding how great the band sounded. They played many songs they hadn’t played in a while and sounded perfect. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a band.

Ryan and his crew were absolutely KILLER. To start, communicating with Ryan was super easy and straight forward, and he was incredibly accommodating, especially considering we notified him of our first dance and mother-son dance a few days before the wedding (sorry). From the PA set up at the ceremony and reception, to keeping the energy up on the dance floor the entire night. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to party with. People will be talking about their performance for months and possibly even years to come. Thank you Ryan and band for taking one last song request, allowing Hanna’s father to jump in on the drums for a song, and all together creating such a fun atmosphere. Forever grateful!

Ryan and the band, Afterglow Avenue, ROCKED IT! I hired them to play at my wedding "celebration party" (which was also New Year's Eve) and they blew my expectations away. From the beginning, Ryan was a pleasure to work with and an excellent point of contact: responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making the night special!

The band blew our expectations away and multiple guests told me how great they were! Once it was time to liven things up a bit, the dance floor never saw the moonlight again --- it was packed! Great job, Ryan and Afterglow! I look forward to my next party! - David

From the first song to the last dance, they brought incredible energy, amazing talent, and kept the dance floor packed all night long. Beyond their incredible music, Ryan went above and beyond to help keep the events of the night running smoothly. His professionalism, organization, and willingness to step in wherever needed made such a difference. Our guests are still raving about them, and we couldn’t have asked for a better band to be part of our special day.

Ryan and The Team absolutely slayed our wedding! From start to finish, they were on point for every single moment, every song, and every transition. The energy they brought was unmatched — they kept the dance floor packed all night long, and our guests are still raving about how incredible they were! Their vocals were amazing, and we loved how they rolled with everything — from special announcements to last-minute song requests — with total ease and enthusiasm. They truly made the night unforgettable and turned our reception into the ultimate celebration. We can’t thank the band enough for making our wedding feel so alive and for giving us a night we’ll never forget. They are a group we’ll be recommending to everyone! With endless gratitude, Casey & Alex

The Afterglow Avenue is truly the best of the best. Ryan Faraday made our wedding planning so much more fun and effortless. He answered any and all questions we had promptly. With being a huge music family with a ton of special requests, the band was able to honor those requests and was truly better than we could have ever imagined. This band is truly the BEST!!! Our wedding guests have all stated it was the best wedding they attended and the band was incredible. They have such a good setlist of all genres and go from one song to the next to keep the party going. They are high energy and so fun! I felt like I was attending a concert just for me!!! My husband and I are so grateful for having them for our wedding band. They were able to perform one of me and my dad's favorite blues song and it was so special. Afterglow Avenue are professional and truly one of a kind!!!

Ryan was thoughtful, professional, and so helpful throughout the band/music wedding planning process. My husband and several guests are in bands, and they were so impressed with the set list and flow of the music. The band was super tight and the sound was amazing. The dancing didn't stop once it started, and several of our guests said it was the best band they've ever heard at a wedding. We were slightly nervous about not having much control over the set list, but Ryan assured us they know what works and they were right. Every song hit perfectly and helped really amplify the party atmosphere and dancing. I was waiting to hear one song I was really excited about, and they played it as the last song in a way that made it even more special and memorable. One of my favorite parts of the night! Also, they learned our first dance song which was a more obscure song, and it was so great getting to have our first dance played live. If we have a future party with live music this is the first band I would turn to! Don't hesitate to book them- I feel so lucky we got them for our wedding!

What a fabulous band Ryan Faraday leads. I had a 65th birthday party in June of 2025 and hired Ryan’s band for entertainment. What a great job Ryan, band members and singers did. All of our guests danced the night away and to this day everyone talks about how great the band was! I could not recommend them highly enough.

Ryan and the band were absolutely incredible! They were communicative, upfront, and a true collaborative partner in planning our party timeline. Throughout the night, they adapted seamlessly—from laid-back music during cocktail hour, to creating the perfect dinner ambiance, to getting everyone on their feet for an unforgettable dance party. We received so many compliments on the band, both during and after the event. Every performer was fantastic—dynamic and engaging without stealing the spotlight—and the vocals were truly outstanding. They helped make the evening everything we had hoped for. I would highly recommend booking Afterglow Avenue!

I cannot say enough great things about Ryan and the band. Their professionalism, communication, and overall performance was really second to none. For our wedding, they were entertaining, funny, and outstanding performers that kept the dance floor packed the entire night. They showed up early to the wedding to set up, confirmed everything we’ve discussed previously (as we know for weddings, things change every day 😊) and still have all of our wedding guests talking about how terrific the band was.
I cannot recommend them enough as you will be extremely happy with the outcome.
