After Hours Events of New England

ppier. Working with Sal, Vanessa, and the entire team was incredibly easy from start to finish. I’ll admit I was a little unsure at first about having the same person serve as both our officiant and DJ, but Sal absolutely knocked it out of the park. He delivered a beautiful ceremony and then kept the energy high all night long. Several guests even came up to me throughout the evening asking where we found him because they loved him so much! I had been nervous about the dance floor being empty, but thanks to Sal, it stayed full the entire night. It was also such a relief that Sal was already familiar with The Simsbury Inn and had worked with our photographer before It made everything run that much more smoothly! One of my absolute favorite parts of the night was the photo booth. It was so much fun taking pictures with everyone and using all the props. At the end of the night, Sal surprised us with a keepsake book filled with collages of all the photo booth pictures, along with little messages from our guests. He also included copies of the photo strips and a USB with all the images plus a recording of our ceremony. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected gift! If anyone is planning a wedding, I highly recommend getting a photo booth because the memories are priceless. I would also 100% recommend After Hours Events of New England to anyone. They offer so many services, are incredibly easy to work with, and truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

experience. He took his time explaining how the day and night would be structured. After Hours provided a great and easy to use form that allowed us a lot of customization for the music we wanted to hear throughout the day. The photo booth team was also fantastic and did a wonderful job with guiding guests and putting together a beautiful scrapbook. Overall, going with After Hours was one of our best choices about the wedding - going with a team that knows what they are doing really took the pressure off of us so that we could just enjoy the day! Thank you Sal and team!

knowledgeable. From generalized wedding details, to making sure the dance floor is always packed, coordinating with all of our vendors and providing genuine, personalized touches throughout the wedding night, no one does it better than Sal and his team. He had us record a little voice memo for our father daughter and mother son dance, a special moment that no one will ever forget. He asked us specific questions regarding our must plays and do not plays. He followed everything we asked to a T. He helped coordinate all of our vendors and helped bring all of our visions to life with his plethora of knowledge and expertise. We received photos and videos THAT NIGHT from him. He also thought of everything, from something as simple as letting our best man and MOH know where to stand for their speeches. The dance floor was POPPIN all night, his lighting and music definitely set the vibe!! We only have positive things to say about Sal and his team, highly recommend!

smoothly. He was so easy to talk to, super organized, and made us feel completely at ease leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, Sal and Vanessa were absolutely incredible! Sal brought so much energy and excitement, from hyping up the crowd before the ceremony to keeping the dance floor packed all night long. Sal really knew how to read the room and play the perfect songs to keep everyone dancing all night long and having the best time. Vanessa was such a huge help throughout the day too, making sure everything ran perfectly and that we were enjoying every moment. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was and how much fun they had! Sal and Vanessa truly went above and beyond for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team to be part of our wedding day. We’re so grateful for them and would recommend them a thousand times over! ❤️

able. From start to finish, Sal (our DJ) and Vanessa (who assisted throughout the day) went above and beyond. Sal wasn’t just our DJ—he was practically a wedding planner. He guided us through every step, helped us with things we never would have even thought about, and kept the entire day running smoothly. Vanessa was such a huge help behind the scenes, making sure everything flowed perfectly. When it came time to celebrate, Sal had everyone on the dance floor all night long. The energy was electric, the transitions seamless, and the music fit our guests perfectly. We received countless compliments from friends and family about how much fun they had dancing, and it was all thanks to Sal’s incredible talent and professionalism. If you want a team that not only delivers amazing music but also truly cares about making your day special, After Hours Events is the way to go. They made our wedding an absolute dream, and we’ll be forever grateful.

t related to entertainment - to the actual wedding day, we never doubted our decision to choose this team. Sal and Vanessa worked seamlessly together with our photographer and venue staff to ensure our day was perfect. Sal acted as not only our DJ but as our day of coordinator and MC. Our guests raved about the music that was played and the dance floor was packed all night (Sal and Vanessa even joined us near the end of the night to sing and dance with us). If you are looking for the absolutely coolest team, look no further than After Hours Events of New England, you won't be disappointed.

Their calm, quick thinking made all the difference. In the months leading up to the big day, Sal was more than just our DJ—he became a trusted partner in planning.

Sal was an absolute pleasure to work with and we HIGHLY recommend him to anyone planning a wedding....it will be the best decision you make!

d us with tips and tricks he's learned along the way working in the industry, which helped us so much. He made the planning process so easy. On the day of the wedding, he went above and beyond. He kept the crowd engaged during the ceremony and reception. As our officiant, he didn't sound like a robot reading off a page. He added his own touches, jokes, and spoke directly to us. While we provided him with some song preferences, he did a fantastic job with the rest of the song selections. He read the room perfectly and kept people on the dance floor. We could not have had the perfect day without him or Vanessa. We are so grateful for them both. If we had to get married again, we would 10,000% choose Sal.

ting, and DJ/MC services. Their planning process was organized and thorough. The music was so awesome! People were asking to take photos with DJ Sal because they loved him so much. Also special shoutout to Vanessa and Sherri! Sal made sure to coordinate with every single other vendor and made the day run seamlessly. Before they left, they gifted us a scrapbook with all the photos from the Photo Booth. I would hire them in every lifetime!

d multiple meetings and a very detailed questionnaire that Sal shared with our venue and photographer to make everything run very smoothly, and kept everyone on the same page.

floor throughout the night. We received a lot of compliments on the music that was played and everyone had so much fun! Cathy also took photos on a digital camera and gave them to us at the end of the night, which was a very nice touch. We can’t recommend them enough!

ay from start to finish. He constantly checked in on us right before the wedding and even a few months before. He let us know from the beginning that a DJ is more than someone that just plays music but their job is to orchestrate the entire event and tailor it to your dream event. I without a doubt would recommend Sal and his team at After Hours Events of New England to anyone who is looking for a DJ for their wedding, corporate event, celebration, or birthday party.

! From our first meeting, Mike was professional, approachable, and genuinely enthusiastic about making our wedding day unforgettable.

He seamlessly transitioned between songs, read the crowd perfectly, and even took requests without missing a beat. His energy and charisma were infectious, and it was clear that he genuinely loves what he does. One of the highlights of our wedding was the personalized mix he created for our first dance. It was a unique touch that made the moment even more special and memorable.

songs and Chris played all of them, I couldn't be more thankful that I had him as my DJ.

the vibe we wanted for our big day, along with giving us wedding planning advice throughout the process. The playlist was perfect—a seamless mix of songs that kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. He really listened to our requests ahead of the big day and was flexible when we wanted to adjust our requested songs ahead of the big day. The sound quality was amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. Sal was so professional, punctual, and a joy to work with. He worked with the venue and other vendors to ensure a smooth day. We felt confident the whole time that our reception was in great hands. They also took pictures and video throughout the night and surprised us with it at the end of the night, which was so thoughtful and generous. If you want a DJ who knows how to bring the party and make your wedding unforgettable, Sal is the one! We can’t recommend him and Marissa enough!

ow smoothly things went with his guidance. Couldn’t have asked for better!

so amazing! We got to leave with a flash drive with pictures, videos, and music from our DJ. We also got to leave with an amazing scrapbook of photos from the photobooth.

le to provide insight for us and our officiant as to how to carry out the ceremony, and even walked us through the process of getting our marriage license filled out. On the night of the wedding, we trusted his judgement for most of the music throughout the night. But if we had had more specific plans for what to play he made it clear that he wanted to hear them. Everyone came to us after to tell us how much fun they had with him leading the reception. I can’t imagine anything that would have made working with them easier. I would absolutely recommend their services to anyone in their area.

d experienced. He gave us tips and tricks throughout the entire wedding process. Not only did we use Sal as our DJ but he also officiated our wedding. We received so many compliments from guests saying how awesome he was. Sal was organized and worked directly with the venue on setup. He also worked with the maid of honor and best man ahead of time to run through speeches, etc. prior to the reception which eased their nerves and helped the reception run smoothly. Sal was organized and on top of everything. During our ceremony, Sal’s humor put us at ease and made all the guests laugh and enjoy themselves. The reception was also a party thanks to Sal and Vanessa!

conga line I’ve ever seen and I kid you not, every guest was on the dance floor for the start of dancing. Sal and Vanessa also took pictures and video throughout the night and surprised us with it right at the end. They were also reasonably priced compared to other similar businesses, but we felt like there was no sacrifice to quality or level of service. I highly recommend After Hours Entertainment!

y! Having never planned a wedding before, we appreciated the questions Chris asked that we hadn't given thought to and made our day that much better. While we gave a handful of "must play" songs, we said our main goal was to play songs everyone would recognize and want to stay on the dance floor for and WOW did he deliver. Thank you Chris for keeping the energy high and everyone dancing. When multiple guests compliment the music, you know you picked the right DJ. We cannot recommend Chris enough!

the difference. He took the songs we loved and really captured our vibe, creating the perfect playlist that kept everyone dancing all night. Everything was absolutely perfect, and Chris knew exactly how to read the crowd to keep the energy going! The photo booth attendants were also incredible and added so much fun to the night! They put together the most adorable scrapbook with all the photo strips from the evening, and it’s something we’ll treasure forever. The entire team was amazing and went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. Highly recommend Chris Garcia and his team to anyone looking for a fantastic DJ and fun photo booth experience!

ry affordable. If you are thinking of a great DJ please book them!

We knew JR was our guy the first time we met with him. His infectious energy was what we were looking for. He made things run smoothly and we could tell he has years of experience. The meeting before our wedding was very helpful as well as the online planner. He played the songs we wanted. Our wedding would not have been the same without him.

s very organized which helped take away any stress we might have otherwise had about this part of our wedding planning. The music at our ceremony and reception was EXACTLY what we wanted and our guests couldn’t stay off the dance floor! Highly recommend!

unicated everything to us in a timely fashion and made sure that everything we wanted for our wedding day DJ was executed to perfection. The music never stopped flowing and the dance floor photos truly showed that. He got people out of their seats and onto the floor dancing in no time. Cathy was truly amazing. She took what we wanted for our ceremony and made it happen. During the reception I didnt realize cathy was taking photos and was pleasantly surprised when they emailed them over it created these adorable candid photos of the night!

saw fit, and he absolutely nailed it: our dance floor was full all night. We incorporated many of his bits of advice from the planning process into our ceremony and reception, and all of those pieces of information helped us create a seamless and perfectly executed wedding. 100% recommend After Hours!

ur grandparents making a toast, were seamlessly included into our reception. Sal took our families & toast-speakers aside to explain what to do, where to go, etc. His professionalism and expertise was apparent. Our dance floor was full the entire night! We also used the After Hours Events of NE photo booth. Not only was planning the colors & photo strip very easy, but our guests loved it! The After Hours team put together a guest book with all of the photo strips for us to take home at the end of the night which was such a sweet and personal touch. The photos are so high quality. Every member of the team was so happy for us and they made us feel special. We had friends asking for Sal's contact information that night for their own wedding. We would book Sal & his team again in a heartbeat!

daughter for our wedding, and everyone was up dancing. Your DJ makes or breaks how involved your guests are, so it’s good to work with people who really know what they are doing. My only con was that he cut our first dance short, we had a little bit of choreography for the ending and had specified where in the music we wanted it to end, and he faded out about 20 seconds early which was a little disappointing. Overall, we absolutely recommend working with Sal! Our wedding was a BLAST and everyone had so much fun, and that’s because he orchestrated our event beautifully.

knew we wanted to work with him. Sal was always extremely responsive, and offered so much guidance leading up to our big day. Sal and Vanessa provided music for our reception and ceremony and worked to coordinate with our officiant and venue staff to stick to a schedule, line up our bridal party, and check on us throughout the evening. They went above and beyond to provide us with photos and videos of our dances and ceremony by the end of the evening - a totally unexpected surprise! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about our reception and loved their energy and enthusiasm. Sal and Vanessa were a calming presence for us and I truly felt like I had nothing to worry about because we were in such good hands. We loved working with After Hours!

r DJ and Officiant! They even compared them to other DJs and were very impressed! And ofcourse we loved them!! Super personable and helpful! They really helped the day run so smooth!

e venue. I'd recommend anyone to them in a heartbeat. They also provided us with a USB with photo and video footage the night of our wedding which blew us away and allowed us to relive our wedding the next day through the lens of a guest. Thank you to Sal and his team for making our wedding unforgettable!

ole night at the Garden house in Northampton. We were blown away by the experience as were our guests. The night ended perfectly with several private dances and a surprise gift from Sal containing many amazing memories captured throughout the day. It shows that Sal and his wife Vanessa make a great team! Their professionalism and experience shows in the way the day went off without a "hitch"... We were beyond satisfied as they provided a night we'll never forget. We're looking forward to working with them again soon. In the meantime, so we're not considered wedding crashers, please send us your wedding invites.

dvice and ideas to help make our day special. Sal also officiated our wedding, and he did a fantastic job. He gave us exactly what we wanted and even engaged with our guests. When it came to the music, we entrusted most of the decisions to Sal, and both we and our guests loved the songs - great energy! We also included a photo booth, which turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. It was so much fun, and now I can’t imagine a wedding without one! One of the best parts of working with Sal was his incredible attention to detail and timeline management. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly, and we never had to stress about a thing. It was clear that he had everything under control, which allowed us to fully enjoy our day without any worries. Before the end of the night, we received a photo book with all the pictures from the booth, which was such a priceless keepsake. Vanessa and Sal also gave us a USB with pictures and videos from the night, which was a huge surprise that we absolutely loved! Sal’s professionalism, organization, and upbeat vibe truly made our wedding unforgettable. We can’t recommend him and his team highly enough!

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
