Best decision we made for vendors. We had MC Jake and DJ Stan with Gabe on the sax. Phil helped with the planning and relayed exactly what we wanted to this team. One of the best pieces of advice he gave was to have the venue preset our salads, when we entered we did all 3 special dances, then guests were able to go to their seats eat salad and give their orders. After that we did speeches and then I dedicated a song to my mom which brought everyone back up to the dance floor. At that point the dance floor remained FULL for the rest of the night… it was wild. People were dancing from appetizers through dinner, some friends almost forgot to go eat because they were having too much fun. The saxophone…….if you’re thinking of adding that on DO IT!!!! The mix of DJ and a piece of live music was out of this world. People were raving over it. What an awesome team, RUN to after hours.
After Hours did a great job DJ-ing for our wedding in Sept 2024. DJ Joel kept the party going while being otherwise unintrusive, which is exactly what we were looking for. He played almost all of the songs we requested for the night, made announcements when needed, and made sure everyone had fun. The dance floor was packed all night! I really liked the DJ package options that After Hours offered as opposed to other DJ businesses in the area. We had a family friend who played for our ceremony and cocktail hour, so we really only needed a DJ for the 4-hour reception. Other companies I contacted didn’t offer anything less than 5 hours, but I didn’t want to pay for extra time I didn’t need! After Hours does it right and has packages for whatever you’re looking for. Can’t beat the price and quality!
10/10! I had my Wedding on 3/23/24. Phil and his team are the BEST! I booked Phil as my MC and Officiant, as well as Mclovin as the DJ. They knocked it out of the park!!! Phil made the night so perfect and special. They executed exactly what my husband and I wanted! Plus Phil is hysterical! If you are looking for a company to really set the tone and make your day perfect, you absolutely want After Hours!!
If you want a bumpin’ party, book After Hours. Phil was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. He has so much energy and is all around a great guy. He made the entire night so so fun. Also shoutout to McLovin, Gabe & Tony. We added the drum and sax pieces to play alongside the DJ music and they were FANTASTIC. Everyone was complimenting how great of an idea that was. Phil worked with my sister as well to make her speech extra special with an audio file that he played for everyone. We got the photobooth with them as well which was amazing everyone was using it. Their backdrop options were great & so were the props. Everyone got a print out strip of their photos and the option to send them to their phones and we even got a book that everyone slapped their photos into with a note to us. I was sent the link to the full photobooth pictures as well to take a look at. Super great experience!! Thank you!!
The After Hours team made our wedding a night to remember! We had the most fun celebrating with all of our friends and family and the dance floor was lit all night. Our DJ Stan and MC Jake were excellent and our favorite part was the punk rock set. All night was just hit after hit and our guests have been raving about the playlist.
The Photo Booth was hands down the best Photo Booth we’ve ever experienced. We did the glam booth and all photos came out amazing. We really enjoyed seeing everyone’s pictures after and receiving the book. It was so special.
Phil was so great to work with. He was so flexible and accommodated every request.
We will absolutely recommend After Hours to everyone. We hope to work with them again!
After Hours was great to work with! We booked them for SO many services. We hired Phil as the MC and also as our wedding officiant. We asked for a cloud for our first dance. We also hired them for their photo booth services. And DJ McLuvin really kept the dance floor going!
Phil was such a pleasure to work with and get to know through our wedding planning process! We had so many last minute little changes and he was extremely graceful in making it happen.
Our MC/FJ combo, Billy and Carlton, absolutely nailed it!!!! It was exactly what we wanted. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Words can’t describe how thankful we are for their team making it the most perfect wedding. We had people text us the next day and ask who we used and what we asked for as far as music because they want exactly what we had.
Just had my wedding this past friday and the vibes were immaculate! Phil and his team really went above and beyond. We put in a few requests and they made them even better! everyone was on the dance floor all night. The sax player, drumming, and piano player during our cocktail hour really brought the entire party together. Everyone from our wedding wont stop talking about how amazing the music was and how they couldnt get off the dance floor all night! would 100000000% recommend to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!
Absolutely amazing food truck experience!
Working with After Hours was so easy and smooth from start to finish! Phil was so personable and made the process super simple and clear! He made sure everything was perfect, especially accommodating a gluten free bride (me) and ensuring that my gluten free pizza was there! The food truck attendees were so personable and friendly!
We were so grateful to have this food truck and that it was a hit with all of our guests!
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!
AfterHours is the BEST, hands down! From the minute I got engaged I knew we were having them for our DJ and they did not disappoint. DJ McLovin, MC Phil, and Bopa on drums were the absolute dream team. They killed it! Everyone complimented me on how amazing they did. They listened to everything we wanted. We said we wanted a fun, dance party and they delivered! Highly recommend them.
We loved working with After Hours for our wedding. Phil was incredibly attentive and timely checking in with us leading up to our wedding day and organizing the details to make sure our day was what we wanted. Our DJ, Billy, did an incredible job. Billy was extremely professional and attentive to check in with us throughout the night to make sure our day was exactly how we envisioned it to be and more. All of our guests had an amazing time because of Billy!
We also booked the string trio for our ceremony. The musicians did a wonderful job and made our ceremony feel very special.
We are so grateful for the team and we loved working with them!!
Our DJ Billy was phenomenal from start to finish! Phil who helped organize all my music and review my forms was awesome and so kind. These DJs really are amazing and they brought so much entertainment and a fun atmosphere. The quality of their sound was amazing from outside to inside the venue. We loved the basic set up and still got fun lights out of it and awesome sound. He asked us questions and if there was anything else we wanted. Really amazing service and kindness. I recommend them to anyone looking for entertainment and live music!
Phil and Mclovin did an amazing job as the MC/DJ pair! They listened to all of our requests even up to the last second and were so professional while still connecting with us and our guests on a personal level. Everyone is still raving about how awesome the music was!
We had the pleasure of Rev LoriAnn officiating our ceremony. Our guests are still raving about how welcoming, warm, and personable she made our wedding feel. LoriAnn made our ceremony so unique and felt so much like "us" - we loved every minute of it and we are so grateful she shared these special moments with us! We also used the string quartet for our ceremony musicians who were equally as amazing- they learned new songs for us at our request and sounded absolutely fantastic. You all made our ceremony perfect and we can’t thank you enough!
We can’t thank Phil and his team enough for adding such perfection to our special day, our wedding, 4/22/23! I remember when booking our wedding, I didn’t think twice who I wanted our DJ to be and Phil as usual, DID NOT DISAPPOINT! He met every expectation we had AND MORE! Of course parts of the day were overwhelming, but when it came time to celebrate on the dance floor, we both were finally relaxed knowing Phil and his team (DJ Peyton & Niko) had it under control! Thank you Phil and your team for contributing to a day we will never forget! You’ll always be my GO TO! -With Love, The Scotts!
You NEED Phil & McLovin. They bring the party. Everyone was up and dancing at our wedding in December, they totally killed it. Phil is the best and so easy to work with, we went over the final details before the wedding and he just “got” the exact vibe we were going for, I couldn’t be happier. We also had a sax player for cocktail hour that was amazing! I have nothing but good things to say about Phil & all of After Hours.
Cannot speak highly enough of both Phil & McLovin! My husband and I had our wedding back in April of 2022 at The Crescent Beach Club, and the After Hours team absolutely killed it!! Phil is absolutely hysterical and has amazing crowd work, he kept the energy high all night and really kept everyone going. McLovin was our DJ and he absolutely killed it, the way he mixes is amazing. The entire After Hours team was incredibly accommodating, and helped us out with any questions or requests that we had. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, recommend them!
The whole After Hours team was absolutely incredible at our 09.10.22 wedding! Phil was great to work with from the start, answering all questions promptly and making us feel totally at ease the day of with any last minute thoughts and requests. We were lucky enough to have Phil as our MC and McLovin as our DJ and received so many compliments from our guests about the energy of the night and how often everyone wanted to dance! We also had the photobooth, which was such a fun addition and a string trio for our ceremony which sounded beautiful. Phil made sure our friend who was marrying us was mic'd up, ready to go, and gave some last minute tips too. After hours was a top tier group which we'll definitely recommend to our future friends getting married.
If you want your dance floor packed the entire time BOOK After Hours!
Meeting with Phil, we immediately knew he loved music and would ensure his team provided us with top notch service.
For our wedding, we had DJ Billy who was both DJ and MC. He played songs from our playlist and perfectly filled in the gaps with appropriate music. He checked in with us a few times during the night for feedback and to ensure we were loving it -- which we were!
If we could do it all over again (which we wish we could relive the night) we would 1000000% book with After Hours again.
The late night food truck was far and away the best late night surprise at my wedding. Guests were in awe walking out of the reception with a good buzz and seeing all their favorite treats. Highly recommend!
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!!
I got married 6/11/22 and with a huge thank you to Phil and team, I had such a FUN wedding! The music was a great mix of all the decades, and Phil kept the crowd going. Everyone danced the night away.
Phil was very professional through my entire experience. He asks for your music form 2 months in advance, but it was great to not have to worry about this as the date got closer with plenty of other things to do.
We also booked the photo booth and food truck which were both a hit and nice that we could book with one vendor for all this vs. multiple.
I would highly recommend After Hours!
Phil/Mclovin & Team!
Gosh I don't even know where to being to write how AMAZING this whole process has been. Since the day I booked with you, it has. been nothing less than a breeze.I had to postpone our wedding due to covid and you did not even give me any issues or try and screw me as some companies were doing to brides. You accommodated me at a time when every vendor in the wedding Industry was hurting most. Leading up to our wedding you reached out to ask if I needed help with anything, answered my questions when it came to song choices, or even entertained me being annoying about wanting to add all the cool stuff you'd post. Our meeting made me feel even better that everything I wrote on my list for you would be amazing and that the song choices I choose would get people going and you were super honest to say certain dances needed to go which I loved by far. Being our officiant weeks before you reminded me to get our marriage license and make sure we had our rings. Even the day prior to our wedding you said don't forget I need rings and license. The day of the wedding when we walked into the venue the whole team greeted us and hyped us up. Our ceremony will hands down be one for the books, our guest can't stop raving about how awesome our officiant was and how quick our ceremony was which is exactly what we wanted. The night didn't end, Phil you were beyond personable with all our family and guest. EVERYONE LOVED YOU! Mclovin had the beats going we are all so sore from non stop dancing.Phil legit was the biggest hype and the tunes were literally on point. The Photo Booth was a serious hit and looking at the pictures from that night makes me feel like I'm there all over again. Thanks for the recommendation of getting head cutouts because some of the pictures have me laughing. The lighting was perfect you all hit it perfectly. The Mr & Mrs sign was beyond beautiful. I legit worked my wedding day around having your company be apart of it and I will forever be grateful that Phil, Mclovin and the team could make it so special and be one hell of a vendor. I will forever recommend afterhours and will use you guys for every future event. Thanks so so much.
--The New Mr. & Mrs. Marino
The moment I met Phil..I knew he was the right fit for our wedding. BUT…I truly had NO idea, even after reading the amazing reviews and watching all the videos, how INCREDIBLE Phil really was. A one man army of energy and a true professional!! Let’s start with having him as our Officiant... We wanted something short, sweet and some chuckles from our guests. NAILED IT!! Then cocktail hour music, who actually gets compliments for the perfect music in cocktail hour?!?..WE DID!! And then the reception…DJ McLovin…I was told you would nail my love for EDM while perfectly mixing in classic rock and crowd favorites, while keeping away from wedding novelty songs and honestly…I couldn’t have made a better playlist for us…I tried, obliterated it, gave it to you guys and you made a masterpiece of it!! The energy was insane and the dance floor was packed ALL night!! THANK YOU!! The photo booth was perfect and super loved by our guests!! We laugh every time we look at all the pictures, thank your team for us! Phil on the drums…truly brings a level up of energy and clearly..my husband LOVED them too!! You made me feel like an actual Princess; dancing on a cloud, indoor fireworks and treating our friends and family like they were your friends and family. THANK YOU for the BEST day of our lives!!
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!
When my husband and I first met Phil, we immediately felt like we had been friends for years. He helped with recommending other vendors, giving us advice, and making sure we was happy throughout the entire wedding planning process. Phil helped us personalize our reception by letting us give him a song list and a “do not play” list, and also helped us create slideshows of our baby pictures that played during the bride/father & groom/mother dances. It brought some of our guests to tears at how special it was!
For our reception, we had Phil as MC and McLovin as DJ. We requested that our guests list a song that they’ll dance to on their RSVPs, and my entire list of songs was incorporated into the DJ set. My dancefloor was packed the ENTIRE reception.
We also had a Zap photographer, and this was my favorite add-on because we got over 400 photos to take home the night of our wedding (from the ceremony, cocktail hour, through the reception). Pictures of our guests played on 2 TVs throughout the night. All of these photos were awesome; it was so much fun seeing all of our guests on the dance floor, having a great time.
I also booked their steel drum player as a surprise for our guests during cocktail hour, and he was amazing! Everyone loved it and he definitely set the tone for the reception.
We also got the snack truck which had 2 sides – candy on one side, and fast food on the other (burger king, taco bell, and mcdonalds). We got to choose 3 items from each fast-food place that the truck would stock. The price was reasonable and Phil sent us home with huge bags of candy and fast-food.
I HIGHLY suggest booking After Hours for any event ! You can’t possibly be in better hands.
We first saw Phil at a bridal show when we first got engaged and I knew I wanted him at our wedding. We had Phil as MC and McLovin as DJ. I was a little worried about people not wanting to dance as much at a day wedding but our dance floor was packed the entire time. They brought so much energy and made everything so fun. They played a variety of music that all different groups of friends and family loved. Would recommend them to anyone!
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!
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!
Phil was such a pleasure and fun person to work with! He traveled upstate for us with no questions asked after a venue change. He also helped coordinate the ceremony and the timeline for the reception. Every song or type of music that we requested to have played was played and people were dancing up until the very end of the party. Some of our friends who are getting married within the next two years even went up to him to inquire about their own weddings. We were so glad we chose After Hours for our wedding!
Phil from After Hours is awesome to work with and he truly helped us with providing great recommendations for majority of our vendors. He provided honest feedback and helpful information and does not try to add on unnecessary items onto your entertainment package. He is extremely proactive and organized and we truly valued his honesty while working with us (both pre-covid and post-covid).
Phil recommended Jake to be our DJ and we met Jake on the day of our wedding but had no worries and concerns because Phil never gave us a reason not to trust him. Jake is and was an awesome DJ on our wedding day. All of our guests loved the music and just truly enjoyed themselves.
We happily passed on their information to some of our guests who are also planning their future weddings. Phil even followed up with us the day after our wedding to ask how everything went with our wedding. EXCELLENT customer service and we had full confidence in Phil and his team.
Thank you so much After Hours!!!!
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.
After Hours was amazing! Phil was so easy to work with and checked in with us several times during the planning process. We had a jazz saxophonist for cocktail hour and he was great! We received many compliments on his music. Our DJ Jake was amazing and kept the dance floor packed all night! Jake checked in with us a few times during the reception and played great music that kept everyone dancing! We received a ton of comments about the great music from our guests! I would recommend After Hours and would definitely use them again!
Awesome company to work with! DJ McLovin and MC Phil brought great energy to our wedding and were phenomenal! So easy to communicate with them and could not have asked for anything more!
Phil and McLovin were absolutely outstanding!! We originally saw them when we went to a wedding expo at our venue and fell in love with there energy and enthusiasm right away. The overall experience was amazing and all of our music requests were played throughout the night. Phil also was able to personalize our names on the DJ booth the way we wanted it. Phil and McLovin had our guests up and dancing throughout the whole evening. We also got the snack truck with the candy option and all of our guests loved it. It was the perfect ending to a great night! We highly recommend After Hours as they were professional throughout the whole experience!
AMAZING!!! From the time we first heard after hours and Phil at our friends wedding , we knew we had to hire them. From the moment we met Phil he was energetic, excited, and his energy was incredible. Our wedding had the absolutely best music and Phil was so incredible as our MC. We still have guests raving about how good the music was and how much of a great time they had. The dance floor was full the entire wedding! Truly the best in the business.
What an amazing time we had at our Wedding with Phil and his crew! My fiance had been to two weddings where Phil was the MC, and he came highly recommended. The DJ set up was beautiful (we went with white), the slide shows were real tear jerkers... and most importantly he had our family on the dance floor the entire night. He incorporated Polish music for a touch of authenticity and had the crowd energized and dancing the entire time. - Bride
"Phils rocks!" - Groom
We had attended weddings with After Hours before and knew we had to hire them when we got engaged. Once we had a date, Phil was the first person we called. From that day forward, he was the most responsive vendor I could have imagined. He made us laugh and feel like friends. We like rock music, but really wanted to party. He encouraged us to make choices that we would love (Disturbed for our entrance, Pearl Jam during dinner, orchestral versions of Metallica for cocktail hour) and still made it feel like a true PARTY. Everybody was on the dance floor all night and a week later I am still getting calls about the "best DJ ever." These guys are the best in the business and if you hire them and trust them, you will have a better wedding than you've ever dreamed of.
Thank you Phil and McLovin!!
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.
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.
I know everyone says that their wedding is the best day of their life, and it was for me too. What helped make it the best day of my life was Phil and his team at After Hours. Not only did After Hours DJ my wedding, but Phil officiated my ceremony and we used their photo booth as well.
Before I get into my review of the day, what meant the world to me was a few days before my wedding Phil called me to check in and see how I was doing, if I needed help with anything and not to be nervous or worry. The fact that he took the time out of his day to call me and check in meant the world!
The ceremony went exactly how I wanted. It was quick, heartfelt, and to the point- everyone wants to get to the food and dancing right!? Even though my ceremony was quick, Phil gave it the right amount of emotion to make it sentimental for us and our families but also some levity for our guests.
Everyone, and I mean everyone during the reception was dancing and having a good time! Phil was amazing at keeping our guests on their feet and dancing the night away balancing between the songs my husband and I wanted to play and the requests from our guests. The party was energized and I couldn't believe it when it was over! It went by so fast!
Booking Phil and After Hours for your next event will be the best and easiest decision you make!
There are truly NO bad things to say about Phil and the After Hours team. They REALLY know how to bring the party and keep the energy up and going the whole entire night! I saw Phil and McLovin at a showcase, came home and told my fiancé we NEEDED to use them. After he came with me to see them in action again, it really was a no brainer. It's hard to believe that there are people out there who have as much energy as Phil and McLovin do, but somehow, they do. Their prices are awesome and they really go above and beyond for their bride and groom. I would recommend them until I'm blue in the face! Already hoping we have another event soon to recommend them for :)
I truly cannot find anything but amazing things to say. From start to finish Phil (and the After Hours team) was the easiest vendor to work with! We had the pleasure of having Phil and McLovin with us on our big day. Everyone could not stop saying how great they were during the wedding, after the wedding and even now three weeks later! We even had a few people tell us it was the greatest wedding playlist they have EVER heard. Phil sat with us the week before the wedding to do a final checklist and I could already tell how excited he was and how many great ideas he had for our day. We told him we just want our guests to leave saying "that was so much fun." He delivered! Phil was the perfect amount of fun to get the crowd up and the dance floor was packed for 5 hours straight. We also booked the After Hours food truck that people are still talking about as well. The fast food was such a hit! If you are not already convinced why you need to book After Hours, let me just say a handful of our wedding guests asked for their business card at the end of the night because they need them for their next events. Phil, we will not ever be able to thank you enough. McLovin, you crushed it! BOOK AFTER HOURS YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.
So we absolutely loved Phil and did most of our bookings through him. Our DJ was McLovin' and the MC was Brett. They were FANTASTIC. They played the best music, kept everything on track, and had everyone on the dance floor. I didn't stop dancing the whole night. We had the rustic DJ booth, uplighting, and had the fireworks contracted in before the Riviera stopped allowing them to be used so thankfully they grandfathered us in. I also booked their Steel Drum Player as a surprise for my dad for cocktail hour and he was amazing! Everyone loved listening to him and I got to dance with my dad. My dad has labeled himself "a whore for steel drums" and that was my little thank you to him for all that he has done. Phil was a pleasure to work with, helped us out wherever he could, and the DJ/MC team were absolutely phenomenal. McLovin' and Brett were the sh*t!
After Hours was the best part of our wedding! Phil was the best vendor to work with from the start! He was so helpful and understanding! Phil was our officiant and we couldn’t have asked for someone better to marry us! He had some comedic relief during the ceremony, but was also extremely professional. When it came time for the reception, that was when Phil really shined! He had everyone dancing the WHOLE night! People still talk about him and how great all the music was two weeks after the wedding! DJ McLovin played all the songs we really wanted to hear, and the photo booth was a huge hit! The photographer was spot on with all of his photos and we got them that same night! I can’t say enough good things about Phil and After Hours! He truly loves what he does and he constantly keeps the party going! He’s literally the best MC I‘ve ever seen and I’m so happy we were able to have him for our special day! He added in some really fun and creative stuff that I’ve never seen before, that people keep telling me was so cool! Seriously, run, don’t walk to book Phil and After Hours for your big day!! Truly the best there ever is on Long Island!!! Thank you Phil for everything you did to make it the wedding of our dreams!!
They were absolutely Amazing !!! Phil was wonderful the entire process. When my husband met him for the first time he was like this is the guy we want ! We had an awesome time as well as our guests. They kept raving about the whole experience !! We had Phil marry us at the venue. He made it special for us just the way we wanted it. For our cocktail hour we had a steel drummer which went along with the ambiance. We also had BoPa who was great as the percussionist. As my husband would say. “This guy is Mint”!! DJ Mclovin really kept the party going for a day wedding. We couldn’t say enough about how amazing they made our day! Thank you Phil !!!
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.
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!
Phil made my wedding unforgettable! We had a package with Phil as our MC and a DJ as well as projection of our name, white dj display, and large closed photo booth with an attendant. All of my guests were up on the dance floor the whole time. He played music that I had requested and followed everything we discussed! My grandma commented on how she danced the whole time as well as my other guests. Their pricing is fair and he will definitely work with your budget. He is always quick to respond to my emails or calls and was very accommodating with my schedule (I have very little free time to meet up). I cannot say enough good things about them!
I can not express how much I love Phil and his team at After Hours! Booking him was the best decision I have made. He was easy to work with and then the day of, the energy level was on a high and they got everyone up to dance which was hard without a dancing crowd. Everyone loved them! MUST BOOK.
Absolutely incredible collaboration! Phil was our officiant and DJ for our wedding.. his energy, attention to detail and playful personality added such a special touch we were looking for! Mclovin did a fabulous job rocking the beats and BOPA was an outstanding percussionist. I would recommend AFTER HOURS to everyone!
Last year my husband Marc and I got married at Oceanbleu, and used After Hours as our DJ, for live music during ceremony and cocktail hour, and for a food truck with pizza and taco bell at the end of the night. Throughout the process, Phil became more than a vendor, but a great friend to us as he was easy to communicate with while we selected songs and explained our vision, helped us figure out how to hook up sound on the beach for the ceremony, and even signed off on our marriage license since my cousin who married us wasn't officially "ordained". From the very first song to the very last (Scotty Doesn't Know), Phil had very single guest dancing, smiling, laughing, and moving for the entirety of our wedding. He was easily our best vendor at the wedding and make the night so fun and unforgettable. If you want your guests to have the best party of their lives, book After Hours. And if you do book them, please invite us so we can party with Phil again! Phil is THE BEST!!!
DJ/MC Jake and After Hours were incredible! Throughout the entire process, they were so accommodating, and just wanted to make the day exactly what we wanted. We had quite a few last minute changes, and Phil never hesitated to do anything and everything we had asked for. DJ/MC Jake had everyone on the dance floor all night long! We are still getting complements on how fun the wedding was! He was a fantastic MC and DJ and made the night go smoothly. He was so great and such a pleasure to work with and if we were to do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing!
I can not recommend Jake from After Hours enough! I did not want the type of dj who would be cheesy with my guests and he totally understood that. He made sure to confirm certain details with me when he arrived and make some suggestions without being pushy. He had a great attitude the whole night and the dance floor was never empty. I would have paid twice as much for the same service and it would have still been worth it.
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.
My husband and I met Phil through the Inn at New Hyde Park when choosing vendors. He was super energetic and had also told us in addition to our DJ we could add on a photo booth. Phil stayed in contact with us to go over every detail leading up to the wedding. Our reception was PHENOMENAL!
We loved our DJ, Nick, and he kept the party going the whole night! Since my husband is Portuguese, Nick played traditional Portuguese music in addition to our playlist! It was a wonderful sight to see my husband’s side getting up to dance and to then teach my side as well as both families came together! If you get to choose your DJ, choose Nick!!!
The same goes for the photo booth!! They included tons of props, signs, and options for every kind of photo you could imagine. They were the nicest guys to every guest and had great senses of humor with the more adventurous guest poses! We were given our flash drive with every picture on it, and a full scrapbook of everyone’s pictures! Everyone used it, and our photo album is full of hilarious and heartfelt pictures and messages! Best decision ever was going with After Hours!

I just had my wedding on 10/20/18 with AfterHours as our DJ and we also hired them for uplighting for our ceremony, sound for our ceremony, and for a photobooth at our reception at Engineers Country Club in Roslyn!! They arrived early, set everything up, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Phil, Brett *Our MC*, our DJ, and our Photobooth attendant!! The dance floor was PACKED all night long, and they played every single song I had listed on my must play music sheet!!!! The guests were amazed at how much fun the photo booth was, the props, the backdrop, and also the quality of the photo strip prints!! It was the easiest and best choice picking After Hours for our wedding! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and EVERYONE!!!! You can't beat their prices and their staff!! Phil will make your wedding day pure perfection and he responds to your emails/calls quickly!! Thank you Afterhours for making our Wedding Day the BEST DAY EVER!!!! We love you guys!
I used after hours for a photobooth as I was at a friends wedding and loved the quality of the vendor. I am so glad I got to work with Phil in terms of setting up the booth, he made everything easy. The booth was a huge hit at the wedding, it had so many fun props, some I’ve never even seen before! . I also liked that there were backdrop options, I didn’t feel I had to comprise the decor of my wedding with a booth. I picked a beautiful rose gold sequin backdrop! Also I got a book of guest pictures at the end of the night. Soooo much better than a guest book ! I would recommend after hours to anyone who asks!
It took me a few days to figure out how to properly review After Hours and Phil! After Hours is so much more than a DJ/MC/entertainment company - they make you feel like friends and family. Phil was the perfect partner every step of the way. He is super responsive to emails, questions, requests, and REMEMBERED everything! His paperwork is on-point so you feel that he has everything covered. Phil and his team handled every request, and were flexible when they needed to be.
His zap photographer and steel drummer are fantastic. They kept the party going all night (even though my crowd was a hang by the bar type), everyone made their way to the dance floor! His energy and professionalism is SECOND TO NONE! Do yourself a favor, and book them now.
