    The most EPIC Entertainment Company!!!!

    We recently had the privilege of experiencing an incredible day of music, dance, and unforgettable memories thanks to After Hours Music & Entertainment. From the first track dropped to the final encore, our MC Switch & DJ Peyton proved they are the true masters of their craft.

    Working with After Hours Music & Entertainment was an absolute pleasure. From the initial consultation to the final encore, they exhibited the utmost professionalism and reliability. They understood our vision and executed it flawlessly, leaving no room for stress or worry. Their attention to detail was commendable, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about making our event special. We provided a simple timeline, and they kept us on track the entire time! Our guests continue to rave about how amazing a "day engagement party" could be. Everyone was up on the dance floor until the very last song!

    Remember to book their 360 photobooth, as it is a remarkable addition to any event you host. If you want an incredible DJ company that will elevate your event to new heights, look no further. We cannot thank them enough for making our event an unforgettable day of music and dancing. We cannot wait to hire them again for our next special occasion.

    Thank you for making our event an absolute blast! Y'all are the real MVPs!

    Kept The Party Going!!

    We met Phil at a wedding expo and he matched our energy right off the bat. He appreciated our mix of music to appease everyone and Benny used that. Coordinating the order of operations for the reception was a little difficult but, thankfully our venue coordinator worked with Benny to ensure the schedule went smoothly.
    The only negative aspect was he never played a game to raffle off the centerpieces but, his job was to get people dancing and that's what he did. We also forgot to communicate it with him so, not entirely his fault.

    Great, fun, professional team

    10/10! A fantastic group of people to work with and they made our wedding day so fun. After Hours was a preferred vendor of our wedding venue so we decided to speak with them first and realized we didn’t need to look any further after just one meeting! We planned with the owner, Phil, and he was amazing to work with. Such high energy but also personable and organized. He was patient with us as we made a few last minute changes and the team got everything right on the day of the party. The whole team of 5 ran so smoothly. DJ McLovin was amazing and brought just the right energy to our crowd – everyone had such a fun time thanks to him leading the night. Anthony (who coincidentally is also the brother of one of my bridesmaids & lifelong friends!) was our Zap Photographer and he REALLY delivered on the photos. We had the party photos rotate on TV screens throughout the party which was really fun and we used those same videos to display old photos of bride/dad & groom/mom during our dances. We thought it was a nice touch and he took the most beautiful photos, capturing moments perfectly. Best of all, we got them all on a USB at the end of the night so I quickly got to relive every moment and share them with our family and friends. We were so excited to also have a photo booth during the party which was an added piece of fun for our guests. We were so surprised when After Hours gave us an album signed by our guests with our photo booth photos at the end of the night! They really all thought of everything. From start to finish, the entire team was all professional, courteous, and fun! I’m so happy we used After Hours and recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent and seamless experience!

    The best on Long island

    Phil is the best, hands down. We had Phil, Mclovin, and Boppa and the dance floor was amazing all night. My husband wanted a specific vibe music wise and Phil went above and beyond! Plus the photo booth attendants were so much fun! Seriously phil is the best and do whatever you need done.

    Wonderful to Work With!!

    Book them. Immediately. They were the third DJ we met with in a week and the great vibe we got with Phil and the pricing couldn’t be beat! Phil is quite a character, but is fun and really listens to your needs, nor does he try to force additional services on you. In fact, he was totally open to us having Haitian music at our wedding and recommended one of his MCs, Carlton as an option since he himself is Haitian! Carlton and McLovin were AMAZING at the wedding. Both came to us before the reception started to check in and confirm things. We also discovered that my fiance, his siblings and some friends went to high school with McLovin!! It was a great coincidence. Him and Carlton kept the party going, kept people on the dance floor, and seamlessly included our Haitan music. Carlton even spoke Haitian Creole, which really impressed my relatives. He also took my on the spot suggestions immediately, which I loved. Bopa was also awesome on the drums, even serving as great backup when I got up there! He did disappear for a bit towards the end of the night, and Carlton did play a bit for him, but did do great for the most part. I’d definitely hire them again, they really made the night and it felt like they had a great time as well, which they told us!!

    Fantastic Experience With After Hours

    Phil and his team were absolutely AMAZING! We had Phil for our Ceremony, Phil and DJ McLovin, a Roaming iPad, a 360 video booth for our Reception, and an After Party DJ for our 02/12/22 Wedding. We can't say enough great things about them! Our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun they had. The 360 video booth was new so we were iffy about doing it, but we are SO glad we did! It was such a hit and all of the videos have been so great to look back on. I need to give a special shoutout to Phil - we had to change our Ceremony last minute and he was so wonderful throughout the whole process. He made our Ceremony absolutely perfect and then got the party started and kept it going throughout the entire Reception. He was also always available to answer any email or question I ever had super quickly leading up to the wedding, which I really appreciated. If you need a great DJ Team, know you are in exceptional hands with everyone at After Hours!

    Responsive, professional, fairly priced

    We used After Hours Entertainment for our wedding on 8/14/21. Jake was our one man DJ/emcee. He was not only fantastic at his job, he just seemed like an all around great person. He was very professional and considerate throughout the day, checking in with us frequently to make sure we were happy with the music. And we were! My guests are still reaching out to me to tell me how great the music was and how much fun they had on the dance floor.

    Throughout the process, Phil, the owner, was always responsive and pleasant to work with. He was flexible and accommodating when we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, and his prices are incredibly fair. I highly recommend After Hours for your DJ needs!

    We danced the night away!

    When selecting the music for our wedding, we knew we wanted a DJ that would reflect our personal taste in music. After Hours was an obvious choice. With a few song recommendations, they completely understood our vision and gave us a party beyond what we could have ever imagined. With Phil and McLovin, the dance floor was filled the entire night from start to finish. Someone said to me “I can’t remember the last time I danced that much,” which is the best compliment I can give. Phil was also the officiant of our ceremony and played a huge role in making the flow and organization of the night run perfectly smooth. If you are looking for a personal experience with a company that listens to you and caters to you, seriously look no further. These guys are the best.

    Hands down the best in the biz!

    I have known the awesome team at After Hours for years being in the wedding industry myself. When I got engaged it was a no brainer to reach out to Phil to discuss details about our wedding day.

    When we had to postpone due to Covid After Hours was extremely accommodating and understanding.

    Leading up to the day Phil provided a music sheet which was a great way to get a feel of our wedding leading up to it. They listened to our special requests and were so much fun. While we didn't have Phil on our wedding day, Brett and Jake rocked the party and so did their percussionist. Despite 100 degree heat and 100% humidity our guests had a blast dancing the night away!.

    Thanks guys!

    High quality, friendly, and fun

    So happy and trustworthy for your big events!! My wife and I got married on July 16th 2021 at NYIT de seversky mansion and the team at After Hours did an incredible job. A lot of time, effort and money went into this wedding so we did our research to find high quality entertainment and we are so happy with our decision. When we walked in and met Phil Vollaro, I knew that he was the person I wanted there on my wedding day. Phil even ordained us for the wedding that’s how much I liked him!!! He is Fun, vibrant, funny, positive energy and qualified. He showed us his reasonably priced packages and so many options to add on if we wanted to, without being pressured. We got a DJ, an MC (Phil), the white panel board cover which was a classy covering that my wife loved, and lights that showed our names and date on the dance floor in the font of our choosing. DJ mclovin did an amazing job, so friendly, fun and accommodating. We sent Phil a list of the songs we wanted before, during, and after dinner along with the toasts/speeches we wanted to give and he made everything so smooth. If you want more than just a DJ that is super experienced, prepared, fun, positive, friendly, and can do it all.. Phil and the after hours team is the perfect choice!! Thank you After Hours!!!

    Amazing company!

    Dj Jake kept the dance floor moving the entire night and was amazing at mixing so many different types of genres, including a lot of Spanish, as my husband is Dominican! Hands down… An amazing DJ and Phil was absolutely amazing in helping us throughout our postponed wedding and setting up the new date!!! Love the team!!

    Best wedding dj ever! Thank you

    Best DJ company ever! If you are searching for a DJ, please book this company because you go above and beyond than what you need. We booked with Phil was an easy thing. He customized to what we needed and LISTENED! He was on top of things and made sure if anything else was needed before the day came. We used Jake as our DJ and he was the best! He reviewed with us what was going to go down a few hours before which made my mind go at ease. Our ceremony and reception was perfect. Thank you ! I am definitely recommending you to all our friends.

    Everything I wanted

    After Hours is the absolute best. We had DJ James for our wedding at Westbury Manor on October 4th, and he was so kind and fun to work with! Our wedding music was perfect from pre-ceremony to the very end of the night. He played every song we requested and blended them seamlessly with his own choices— we were so happy. Thank you!!!

    Amazing party, exactly what we wanted, and so easy to work with

    We couldn't be happier that we went with After Hours for our wedding. Phil was our point person and he was so easy to communicate with and extremely organized. We hired a string trio for the ceremony, a pianist for the cocktail hour, and had DJ McLovin for our reception. Everyone was so amazing and was able to play anything we wanted. DJ McLovin was perfect for us- he kept the party going without stealing the show. Our guests commented so many times about how amazing the music was and how fun of a party it was. We highly recommend this whole crew!

    Super fun, all-in-one package!

    We hired After Hours for a DJ, percussionist, and photo booth for our September 2019 wedding in Manhattan. Phil was very easy to work with while planning and especially in determining the order of events at the Reception to meet our objectives (i.e. maximum dance time!). And his team added so much fun to our wedding! DJ James and Percussionist Benny were amazing!! We shook things up a bit with our intros (we were introduced by the DJ and then we introduced the members of our bridal party) and they made everything sound seamless and perfect. James was very attentive and coordinated beautifully with us and the Maitre D' at the venue throughout the evening. We had a few different playlists of music for various times in the evening, including Armenian and other cultural songs needed for specific traditions and they worked with them so well. Benny added another layer of fun with some live music flair and allowing us to play the drums for a bit! We loved the Photo booth (the animal heads were a huge hit) and had so much fun going through the guestbook of everyone's photos.

    Highly Recommend the Food Truck

    We used After Hours for a food truck at the end of the night following our wedding. The food and personalized bags were our favor. Phil was amazing. I highly recommend him. Although we didn’t use After Hours for any other services (we had an all-inclusive wedding package), everyone I met from the company the night of our wedding and at various bridal expos were great. Phil was extremely easy to work with and he and his guys and of course the food truck were a huge hit. I’ve had so much positive feedback on the food truck, I would do it again for any event in the future. The cost was reasonable, and people loved getting candy, white castle, pizza hut, and taco bell at the end of the night. Many guests have said it was better than any other wedding favor they’ve gotten.

    Fun and professional!

    Phil and McLovin had our wedding guests up on their feet dancing til the very last song.
    It was a pleasure to work with him. He was very understanding, gave us the wedding of our dreams and calmed our nerves when we were stressing the week before. Highly recommend and would def hire again in the future.

    Book After Hours NOW!

    When we picked Watermill for our venue, After Hours was NOT a recommended vendor. After checking the other vendor reviews, I was not impressed. I decided to do my own research and came across After Hours music. I booked an appointment with Phil in Riverhead, and the rest is history. Phil is such a laid back, fun guy who really enjoys what he does for a living. We booked him and McLovin after going to one of their shows (which everyone should attend). Phil kept in touch throughout the whole process, and is prompt with emails. When we sat with him a week before the wedding, he went over the full day schedule and put us at ease with all concerns that we had. On the day of the wedding, Phil came early to set up the Ipod for our ceremony. During the reception, he was super fun and charismatic. He even came over to grab a drink with our friends! McLovin did a great job mixing the new and old music to cater to all different age groups (and music tastes). McLovin had me on the dance floor all night, and all my guests followed. We also added the photobooth with our package, and the props these guys had were hilarious. From Morty mask to the shark mask, my guests were absolutely in tears from the photos they took. Almost everyone went to the photobooth that night, so we definitely got our money's worth with that ! I cannot thank After Hours enough for a truly perfect night !

    Great experience and wonderful service

    For our wedding at the Royalton on the Greens, we had the team of MC Carlton, and DJ Jay for our wedding and DJ Peyton for our wedding after party. They were all fantastic. We provided a list of songs that we wanted included in our wedding and after-party and they did not disappoint. MC Carlton was very personable and an awesome hype guy and encouraged everyone to get on the dance floor. Carlton also worked well with the staff at the wedding reception to make sure the lineups and bridal party pairings were perfectly coordinated. DJs Jay and Peyton made sure the party kept going and our guests were on the dance floor. Phil was amazing to coordinate with and we overall just had a great experience with After Hours Entertainment. I highly recommend them to everyone.

    Excellent Experience

    We are very pleased with our experience with After Hours. We first came in contact with the group at a Bridal Show on LI. We definitely felt their energy and got the impression that they were a fun group of individuals. We met with Phil, and he answered all of our questions. He was always prompt to respond and was certainly passionate about his craft. We ended up having DJ Jake as our DJ, as Phil let us know he thought he would be a good fit. He was totally right, Jake was a perfect match for our wedding. He played all of our requests and filled dance floor the entire night. He had the perfect amount of interaction with our guests and was a very easy person to work with. Everyone commented on how good the DJ was and how much they enjoyed the music he played! DJ Jake definitely made our wedding a party and we’re so thankful we could work with Jake and the After Hours crew.
