Rachel L. Sent on 09/21/2023The BEST! 100/100 would Recommend!
From the very beginning, even before we had signed a contract, The Afterparty Band provided exceptional service. We were able to quickly schedule a virtual meeting where Tristin walked us through everything and was able to answer our many questions for our upcoming wedding. Tristin's professionalism, dedication to her craft and enthusiasm made it an easy decision to move forward with the band.
During the planning process, Tristin was quick to answer questions as they popped up and checked in when needed. As it got closer to the wedding date, we provided our musical preferences and day of logistics and assured us we were good to go for the big day.
Fast forward to the reception, The Afterparty Band had EVERYONE on the dance floor by the middle of the first set and that did not stop till the last song was played. This band ROCKED! They truly brought the energy, they sounded amazing and catered to our musical preferences. I highly recommend that you have them learn a song or two of your choice, because they crushed that too! We received so many compliments from our guests how this was the best band they've ever seen, which in turn gave us the wedding party of our dreams. What a memorable night for everyone!
Thank you Afterparty Band!!The Afterparty's reply:
Hi Rachel!!
"Best band your guests have ever seen giving you the wedding party of your dreams?!?" We couldn't ask for a better review! :-) Making memories of the most joyful of emotions is what we aim for. We want to leave a lasting impression for years to come and it's so gratifying to hear that we did just that. Thank you so much for writing this meaningful, thorough, and appreciative review. We had an absolute blast ourselves at your wedding and will never forget those guest dancers joining us on stage. LOL. The special songs were very fun for us to learn for you as well. We're so glad to hear of your satisfaction of our services and we do hope to see you again. Until then, cheers to you both!

Morgan C. Sent on 01/30/2024Amazing! Best in the biz
I recently had the most incredible experience with Tristin and the AfterParty Band. From start to finish, their performance was nothing short of amazing. Tristin was so sweet and so easy to work with. She knew exactly what I was looking for and made song adjustments to match the length of my aisle walk and song. The band's energy, professionalism, and ability to keep the dance floor alive were unmatched. I was a little worried that no one would be dancing as we had a mix crowd, however, the band got everyone up out of their chairs and on the dance floor. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the music selection and the seamless transitions between songs. The band members even came out onto the dance floor and interacted with guests. The AfterParty Band truly elevated our wedding to a new level. If you're looking for a wedding band that will exceed your expectations, look no further – they are absolute rock stars!The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Morgan! You are just the sweetest, thank you so much for writing this 5/5 star review about your experience working with us. It's so important to go over those kinds of details (like the lengths of special songs) beforehand so everything is smooth and how it's supposed to go. Your guests were also so much fun! Everyone was very nice, complimentary, and appreciative. We love coming out onto the dance floor- dancing and singing with guests. Favorite part of the job! Lol. Thank you again for choosing The Afterparty to celebrate with you. We wish you guys all the best! :)

Best Wedding Band
The afterparty band was incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. From the initial meeting, we could already sense their attention to detail and wanting to provide us with the wedding entertainment we dreamed of having for our special day.
From day one Tristin, worked with us and provided us with the smoothest planning process. Our wedding was a destination wedding and several accommodations had to be made, but Tristin made the process simple and easy.
We wanted a band that would be interactive, engaging, and entertaining for a night to remember. This bands provides all that and more. They have several different costume changes, great sound and entertaining engagement throughout the night. They have choreographed songs and get into the crowd engaging with all the guests. They kept all of our guests on the dance floor all night begging for an encore as they ended. Our guests were even chanting “best band ever”.
To this day the band is something guests have highlighted from our wedding when they speak of memories from it. I cannot express how amazing they were to work with. Tristin makes sure to take any planning and stress completely off your plate.
Overall, the band is truly incredible and will provide the best level of entertainment you will want from a live band at your wedding. They have a great song list and amazing mashups they perform. We are so incredibly happy we chose them for our special day and can’t thank them enough for providing such incredible memories for us and our guestsThe Afterparty's reply:
Kelsey!! Thank you SO much for writing us such a thorough and thoughtful review! You touched on so many things we pride ourselves on, from communication to details to stress-free service to entertainment value and more! Your wedding was so much fun. It will always have an imprint on all of us with the ending chant - "BEST BAND EVER!" Lol. Unforgettable. Thank you again for choosing The Afterparty and we wish you and Leighton all the best in your future journey together! :-)

Bobby C. Sent on 10/20/2023The Afterparty Band will have you and your guests dancing all night long
We had the pleasure of having The Afterparty Band play at our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, Tristin was so helpful and accommodating, and made sure that we were involved in every step of the planning process. She was also very responsive to our questions and requests (always answering within 24 hours), and went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was everything we wanted it to be.
On the day of the wedding, the band was even better than we could have imagined. They had so much energy and enthusiasm, and the dance floor was full from 8:30-11pm. Our guests kept raving about the band and asking us how we found them. Their style of singing mashups felt like a DJ – we never once were bored of a song or felt a lull in the room. One of our guests is a professional musician and echoed how impressed he was – it was clear they took the time to practice the songs and flow ahead of time.
We would highly recommend The Afterparty Band to anyone looking for a great wedding band. They are professional, talented, and they really know how to make a party!
The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Bobby! Thank you so much for writing this thorough and detailed review and for saying such wonderful things! I appreciate you mentioning my communication style. I try very hard to be responsive as it is one of the most important things to me with customer service. I'm also glad you mentioned our Mashups! And how we are like a DJ! Since that is our tagline. Our goal is to keep people on the dance floor, on their toes, never bored, never leaving, and always amazed at our creativity, our show, and our flow. :) I really appreciate you mentioning so many specific things and love that your musician friend noticed these things as well. We honestly had such a great time at your wedding. All of your guests were singing along to literally every song we did! It was so great. We hope to see you guys again - you were the perfect group for us! :) ~Tristin -

Devin M. Sent on 07/18/2023Best Band in Seattle
My wife and I just hired The Afterparty Band for our wedding reception and couldn’t have been more pleased with how they played and performed for us. They have an excellent range of music, from sweet slow dances to get up and dance showstoppers, that kept our party on the dance floor all night long. Not to mention they look totally fabulous with their outfits and props to really make it feel like you have hired your own personal rockstar. Equally (or even more importantly) Tristin goes above and beyond in helping plan for the day. She is accommodating, communicative, and well-organized, sending questionaries for music choices and MC moments. We began our planning during Covid and had our original plans postponed, and she helped keep everything on track for over 3 years of planning. I’ll be recommending them to all my friends and family who get married in the future!The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Devin! Your own personal rockstar? I love it! Haha. We have spent a very long time planning this wedding celebration with you, and I'm so glad you guys were able to have the reception of your dreams (but also didn't have to wait to actually get married to have it). Thank you for sticking with us through Covid and still choosing us for your party 3 years later. We had an absolute blast and loved your group. You all were a TON of fun! And thank you for writing us this 5/5 star review. We really appreciate it. See you again at your friend's/family member's weddings! ;-) LOL.

Rebecca L. Sent on 05/09/2023Fun & fabulous to keep the party going! ⭐︯⭐︯⭐︯⭐︯⭐︯
The Afterparty band is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! From our first phone call to the end of our reception, no detail was left unpolished. Tristin is a dream to work with; she was the most responsive point of contact we had throughout our wedding planning experience, not to mention kind, patient, and incredibly talented. What impressed us the most, and something to add to the many reasons why The Afterparty band was sensational, is that Tristin and Jeff went to our venue in Miami Beach to do a walkthrough with the event coordinator at the hotel. Living in Chicago and planning a destination wedding was not easy, especially when trying to describe the venue’s layout, loading and unloading, parking, etc.; Tristin made us feel so much more at ease, and was able to provide new insight for our venue space.
The Afterparty band’s performance style is playful, interactive, and HIGH ENERGY! From start to finish, the band had such a commanding stage presence; incredible vocals, top-notch musicians, charismatic, dancing, and costumes… The Afterparty band was PERFECTION!! The band has such a versatile selection of songs and mashups in their library, which made playlisting very easy and so much fun! The mashups are a unique feature that instantly drew us to The Afterparty band; my favorite part of the entire performance, without hesitation, was the Michael Jackson mashup!! All of our guests could not stop raving about how AMAZINGLY TALENTED The Afterparty band was- the night of our wedding, day after, still today; truly nothing but praise!
The Afterparty band learned three new songs for our reception, all in which were perfected and performed like they have known the songs forever. For my father-daughter dance, the song required a ukulele player; Tristin coordinated with one of our family friends that knew the ukulele, and they practiced and perfected the song prior to our wedding day. This is such a special memory for my dad and I, and we will never ever forget all that they did for us! All of the guests were in awe at the performance of this special song. Also, Tristin allowed us to prepare our own playlist for when the band took a short break, which was maybe all of four songs… the band played for us all night long and kept the ENERGY from beginning to end!!!
Additionally, throughout our wedding reception, the band went out of their way to make announcements regarding our late night food stations, the arrival of our cigar roller, and also note that the Anniversary Dance was my parent’s first dance song at their wedding. Another highlight of our wedding reception.
Aside of their magnificent talent, Tristin, Jeff and the musicians are truly fantastic people. If you want to have the best band at your wedding and the time of your life, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking The Afterparty band!!
XO Becca & TylerThe Afterparty's reply:
Rebecca!!! Oh my goodness, you've got both Jeff and I in tears! It feels so wonderful to hear how all of our efforts to make your day perfect are so appreciated. We take special pride in the details, being on top of communication, and being responsive. And yes, if we can, we like to do a walkthrough of any venues we've never been to. It gives us more confidence, and we feel better prepared. It's a win-win for sure. I'm so glad you mentioned the high energy as well. We have the best musicians that understand this and really bring the spark and excitement to our performances! We feel so blessed. Thank you so much for writing this thorough and enthusiastic review. It means so much to us, and we're so happy to hear that we exceeded your expectations and made your day extra special. Cheers to you both!

Leighann Sent on 04/03/2023Amazing Performance by The Afterparty Band
We worked with Tristin and Jeff of The Afterparty Band for our wedding last week at the Bonnet House. They performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour and they were absolutely amazing!! Leading up to our event they were very communicative and accommodating. We asked them to learn three new songs for our ceremony and they did it no problem, and in a short time frame. Their performance at the wedding was phenomenal and all of our guests commented on how great they were! It was definitely a highlight of our special day to have them there. I highly recommend Tristin and Jeff as your go to band!!The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Leighann! Wow, you're amazing, and thank you so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to write us this review. Your wedding with Patrick was just lovely, your guests were so kind and complimentary, and we had such a fun time! We're honored and so glad to have been able to make your wedding day even more special. Thank you again for choosing The Afterparty, and thank you for sharing this feedback for others to see and read. We hope to see you both again cuz the day just went by way too fast! ;-)

The Afterparty is truly AMAZING!
Tristin, Jeff and the rest of the Afterparty Band and crew are AMAZING!
They blew the roof off the 1950’s themed wedding reception my client and I hired them for and made it a truly unique and unforgettable night.
The entire process of working with Tristin and Jeff from the moment we signed the contract up to the big day was so easy and fun. They answered every question we had and then some. They were also excited about learning a few new songs per my clients' song requests as well as provided demos for several choreographed dances performed at the reception, and even helped the bride surprise her groom with a fun musical performance. The dance floor was hopping all night and their song paired with their unbelievable talents made for one unforgettable music-filled night.
If you are looking to hire a band for your upcoming event I can not recommend them enough. They are truly the best and I can not wait to work with them again soon.
The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Abagail!
Thank you so much for writing us this detailed and enthusiastic review! We genuinely had such a fun time at your client's wedding, and being a Musical Theatre graduate myself getting to do some showtunes was a real treat! We felt so well taken care of and in good hands working with you throughout the entire process. We are also very detail-oriented and organized, so working with you felt like a perfect fit! And we can't wait to do it again too! Thank you for providing a planner's perspective on here, and we'll talk again soon about the next wedding! Cheers!

I was so lucky to have The Afterparty perform! I have to tell you they made the night complete! Being able to experience the band made it all worthwhile. They are the best I've heard - the music selection was amazing and everything about them stood out. Personable, fun, and something for everyone and every music taste. We were all singing at the top of our lungs - it was a real blast, thanks to The Afterparty!The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Angie!
You're so sweet, thank you for writing us this glowing review! We really enjoyed seeing your smiling face and watching you dance and sing along to our music from the very first number all the way to the final song of the night. We hope to see you again at one of our shows or a private event soon! Cheers!

THE BEST entertainment out there! We hired The Afterparty for a big birthday rooftop celebration and they were incredible!
All the music was fun, energetic and known by all to sing along and dance! The band brings props\costume items that are related to the original artist of the music and changes in and out of those props along the night to make it a truly engaging feast for the ears and eyes! No one could stay off their feet during the performance, they're just too good and entertaining to sit still! We highly recommend them for your event, they are a great talent and put on a terrific show! Beyond that, they're truly wonderful people! Book them, you'll have the time of your life!The Afterparty's reply:
Hey JoAnne!
Whoo-Hoo! Thank you for calling us not just the best, but THE BEST entertainment out there! What an amazing view we had for that rooftop party. Wow. We're so glad our music and performance inspired you all to dance like you did because we thought with it being 100 degrees, it might be too hot to dance! But that didn't stop you all! We're so glad we made your night a truly engaging feast. Thank you for the recommendation and the wonderful review. Our favorite moment was when you came up and sang "Like a Virgin" with us with all of your friends surrounding us dressed up like Madonna. Such a great memory! Thank you again for choosing The Afterparty. See you again at another party soon!

The Best Night EVER!
Tristin, Jeff and The Afterparty Band simply blew away everyone at my wife’s 50th Birthday Party! Everyone danced, could not stop dancing all the way to the end! We have friends who are musicians and they could not believe the quality of everything, vocals, horns, guitar, bass and their ability to move so seamlessly through decades of music, really made the party special and fun! They bring such incredible energy to the stage and engage everyone. They were great in the planning stage, even learning a special new song as a tribute to my wife and soothing my anxiety the closer we got to the party. I will use The Afterparty again and again! If you have a special event I would highly, highly recommend you moving them to the top of your list! My feet are sore from dancing but my heart is full! PeteThe Afterparty's reply:
Hey Pete!
I don't think we could have asked for a better review! Our hearts are so full as well! Thank you so much for writing this and for being so great to work with. This was the funnest party so far of the year for us. Your group was a hoot and a half! We loved seeing all of the costumes, and we just loved the incredible energy we got from everyone. It was our pleasure to make this day so special for you and your wife. We look forward to the next one! Whoo-Hoo!
Cheers!

WOW! This band was amazing and singlehandedly they made our wedding so FUN. First of all, this band has amazing musicians, and did justice to every song they played. Second of all, they are great performers! Any guests who didn't/couldn't dance really enjoyed just watching. Also, Tristen is really professional and easy to work with ahead of time. She came and looked at our venue ahead of time to make sure everything would go smoothly... and it did! We highly recommend The Afterparty to make any event more fun and upbeat.The Afterparty's reply:
WOW! Emily this review is amazing! Thank you so much for writing this without me even asking!! You're the sweetest, and we had the best time performing at your wedding. Our favorite moment was honestly probably watching you two dance to your perfect first dance song choice, "Waterloo!" All the Abba songs we did went so well! Hopefully, we see each other again soon! All our best,

The Afterparty is an AMAZING, high energy, SPECTACULAR group. Their playlist is INCREDIBLE. They have you clapping, snapping, and toe tapping along. They make you want to get up and dance and sing along. Their props/wardrobe are fun, and add to their performances...AND, their interaction with the guests/audience is so much FUN.
Their video clips give you just a glimpse of what you will get when you have them at your wedding/event. And...at the end of the night/event, they will leave you wanting more. You won't want them to stop.The Afterparty's reply:
Hey Kris!
Awwwwww thank you so much for writing us this enthusiastic review! Your support all these years has meant so much to me and to us. And you're right - our videos are only a glimpse of the experience we provide. People have to see a live show in person to fully understand what we offer. We hope to see you again at a show, but in the meantime, thank you for all of your online support and compliments!
Cheers!
