The Afterparty Band and their Duo was one of the best choices we made for our wedding of 100 people! The Duo also set a great ambiance to our outdoor Cocktail Hour. Now, our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing and singing along with the band all night. We loved the visuals with lighting, dancing, costume changes, and props. My husband and I couldn’t find time to leave the dance floor because their compilations just flow from one to the next. At first I thought our party would be too small for an 8-piece band at the reception, but they were the perfect addition to build up the crowd and keep everyone together on the dance floor. They even came into the crowd to sing and play instruments to stir up enthusiasm.
My only regret was not having more time to chat with our guests for longer because we simply couldn’t peel ourselves off the dance floor.
Tristan and Jeff are so responsive, and they were able to work with both me and my wedding coordinators directly to take some of the logistics off my plate. They are a wonderful band for any kind of event, large or small, that you want your guests dancing all night with happy hearts.

Hey Hannah!
We are so happy reading every inch of this review! We honestly had so much fun with you guys. I think it was perfect. With the orientation, size of the room, and number of guests, it was much more intimate, and that made it really f...
un and more of an exchange of good vibes between us and your guests. We felt way more connected to y'all, and that doesn't always happen. My husband Jeff and I really enjoyed playing soft rock music during your cocktail hour for your guests as well. Everyone was so sweet and it did feel like we were very well received. We love hearing that we kept you on the dance floor all night too as that's our goal! Haha. Sore feet, but happy hearts - we love it! Congratulations again to you and your husband and your families. We wish you all the best!

The Afterparty was FANTASTIC! 6 months after our wedding, we still get CONSTANT compliments for our incredible band. The entire group was so helpful and made all of our wildest wishes come true. We could not recommend them enough!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/09/2024
Hey Meg!
Thank you so much for giving us this 5-star review. We hope you still get constant compliments about the band 6 YEARS after your wedding!!! ;-) Haha. Thank you for recommending us. We're so glad we could fulfill your wedding wishes. :)...
Hope to see you again at your friend's/family members' future weddings! Cheers!
~Tristin Heiser
The Afterparty Band is Knot-ch! Not only was their performance incredible, but the communication leading up to wedding day was superb. Tristan is an absolute pleasure to work with - she is kind, enthusiastic and incredibly creative. I would highly recommend The Afterparty Band to anybody wanting a rockin' dance party!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2024
Haha! Hey Natane! Thank you so much for your review of our services! We absolutely LOOOOOOVED working with you. A dream planner!! Communication is so incredibly important when planning high-end events and you were fantastic at that as well. And...
the wedding we worked on together went so perfectly and smoothly. We really appreciate you and can't wait to work together on another wedding or event soon!
Any questions?
My daughter and son-in-law hired The Afterparty to play at their wedding in October at the Edgewater Hotel. They were fantastic! We had never heard them play live and selected them solely from their online reviews and the recordings we could hear online (which do not do them justice for how good they sound live). We were thrilled with our decision to hire The Afterparty.
Triston, the lead singer and band lead, is incredibly professional, organized and thorough. While you will be hiring the band ultimately for their musicianship, Triston’s responsiveness and communication is extremely important in the overall planning process.
Triston announced her good news that she was pregnant shortly after we hired the band. She let us know she (and most likely her husband Jeff, the lead guitarist) would not be able to perform or attend my daughter’s wedding reception as she would be having her baby right around that time. Triston assured us the band would not skip a beat, and she was right. She immediately brought in Alena (the lead singer and Emcee for my daughter’s wedding) so that we were all comfortable. Alena and the band were outstanding! They are great musicians and singers and you can tell they absolutely love what they do. They all had smiles on their faces the entire time they were performing. They bring an entire show. They are true performers – choreographed dancers, costume changes and fun props. I can’t believe how much fun grown adults had with blow-up guitars 😊. The band played an encore because of all the guests’ applause and then at my request, one last song of “We Are Family” without any hesitation. The guests at our wedding danced non-stop and everyone commented on how great the band was and the high energy they brought to the wedding. If you are looking for a professional, high-energy band that sounds great for your wedding or event, hire The Afterparty!!

Hey Sue!
Oh my goodness, we can not thank you enough for writing this fantastic and thorough review!
A lot of couples won't hire a band unless they hear them live, so thank you for not only taking that leap of faith with us, but also mentioning...
that you didn't see us live first, and you couldn't be happier with your decision to hire us. :)
I pride myself on my communication, organization, and thoroughness. Even with having a newborn at the time of your daughter's wedding I worked extra hard to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks!
We are so proud of our musicians and our crew for representing us and The Afterparty so well. It's such a relief to know that even though we couldn't be there, you still got the same level of service, and our team upheld the reputation we've strived to earn over the years.
And the blow-up guitars are always such a hit! It's hilarious!
So glad we brought the energy you all wanted. Enjoy the years to come with your new family connections!
~Tristin
The Afterparty is an incredible band in Seattle, WA. I am a local event planner based in Seattle, WA and have referred The Afterparty a few times for weddings. They always go above and beyond in the pre-planning stages to really get to know clients and understand their needs so they can prepare in advance to put on the best show possible. They are super great with speedy communication and have incredible organizational skills leaving it very stress free for clients & planners. Their musicians are all incredibly talented, super professional and very prompt when it comes to arriving in advance and always ready well before any show begins. I highly recommend interviewing and booking them for any wedding or event you are planning! 10 out of 10 - you will be extremely happy you did!
Response from the Vendor on 12/05/2024
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this review. We also feel that you go above and beyond for your clients and that makes for a magnificent working relationship and spectacular high-end weddings. We really apprec...
iate your speedy communication as well. It is especially important when putting on weddings and events of such high caliber. We hold ourselves and our musicians to the highest of standards so we appreciate you recognizing and complimenting us for that. The weddings we work on together are always the best of the best in Seattle, WA and we look forward to all the many more we will get to do together! Cheers! :-)

I recently hired The Afterparty for a large event with a particularly demanding client, and they exceeded all expectations! From the initial booking process to the final encore, they were incredibly easy to work with, demonstrating a level of professionalism that made my job much easier.
Their talent and energy got the entire crowd on the dance floor and kept the party going all night. The way they engaged with the audience was phenomenal.
One of my favorite aspects of their performance was how they transitioned seamlessly from one song to the next, just like a DJ would. This kept the energy high and ensured there was never a lull in the energy.
Not only did they deliver musically, but they also went above and beyond by offering to matching their outfits to our event theme. This added touch made the night even more special and showed their dedication to making our event a success.
I can't recommend The Afterparty enough for anyone looking to elevate their event with fantastic live music. They are fun, talented, and truly a joy to work with!
Response from the Vendor on 08/25/2024
Dear Liz,
Thank you so much for writing us this glowing and elaborate review! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you on this event and were equally impressed with your professionalism and dedication to exceeding this client's expectations. You ...
always go above and beyond, and we look forward to working together and collaborating with you on more events in the future. Thank you for mentioning several of the things we pride ourselves on as a DJ-inspired show band as well. That means a lot to us to be acknowledged and appreciated for those things that set us apart. Cheers to a highly successful event!
Until next time... :)
~Tristin Heiser
What can I say about The Afterparty Band other than they are absolutely amazing? Well, plenty. Tristin, Jeff, and the whole band are true professionals who brought the house down for our wedding reception. The performances were excellent, and really enjoyed how involved they get with the crowd and make it a fun, engaging experience for all of the guests. The band was also really easy to work with throughout our planning process, and communications were always very clear on what we could expect from them, and what they needed from us/the venue as well.
Of note: our venue had never worked with them before but was so impressed by their professionalism and quality of performance that they expressed interest in adding them to their preferred vendor list and even booking them for their own events! So when I say you are getting the best wedding band available when you book the Afterparty Band, it really is true!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2024
Hey Evan,
Awwww, thank you so much for this stellar review! You even included your venue's compliments, which is awesome! I will personally never forget your special first dance song. It was so fun for me to sing and fit my voice perfectly. I l...
ove when couples pick first dance songs we've never heard, and we get exposed to all this great music out there! Thank you again for hiring The Afterparty Band to make your special day unforgettable and the party you were hoping for! We wish you guys the absolute best and hope to see you two again someday...
Cheers!
~Tristin Heiser
We hired the Afterparty Band for our company's 50th-anniversary celebration, and I cannot praise them enough for the exceptional experience from beginning to end. Tristin's organization and communication throughout the process were invaluable, making the planning of a large event much smoother. The music was fantastic and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. I had so many people come up to me praising them and asking for their name so they could book them in the future. The entire band even dressed to match our party's theme, adding a perfect touch to the evening. I can't recommend them highly enough and would book them again without hesitation.

Hi Joelle!
You are so sweet for writing us this review! This was a very pleasant thing for us to wake up to this morning. :) Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed analysis. It was our pleasure to work with you. It really felt like ...
a partnership to make this event great for the company. We had a blast and hope to work with you and see you again someday...
Cheers, and all our best to you and Larry!

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 the 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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/31/2024
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! :)
~Tristin
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 guests.

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! :-)
~Tristin
We are a fellow wedding vendor (Crimson Haze Event Lighting) and had the privilege of lighting up Tristin and Jeff's own wedding (the lead singers of the band). We've seen them perform many times and WOW they are above and beyond! Not only are they all musically talented, but in addition, they have choreographed and designed the entire show. The musical numbers blend together seamlessly and they have fun costumes to go along with everything. This definitely gets the audience energized! And on the back-end, they are delightful to work with. Everyone is so friendly, and when it comes to the planning, Tristin is super organized, detail oriented and responsive -- everything you could ask for! Highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/23/2023
Clea!!! Thank you so much for writing us this review! It is always so wonderful to work with you guys... as a fellow vendor, AND as a client. Your lighting work with our band is fire!!! Many many thanks for taking the time to write this and for...
saying such lovely things about us. We can't wait to work together again soon!
~Tristin
The Afterparty Band was great at our wedding! They were high energy and very easy to communicate with. They responded quickly via email and accommodated our request to shorten my father/daughter dance song. We asked them to learn "Unwritten" for our entrance - highly recommend they play this at your wedding as it was a hit!
Response from the Vendor on 12/10/2023
Hi Ci Ci!
Thank you so much for writing us a 5-star review! Jeff and I had just gotten back from our honeymoon in Italy so I'm so glad we were able to bring all the high energy to your wedding when it felt like 6am to our bodies (lol!). I'm gla...
d we were able to do a better length father/daughter dance for you, and yes - "Unwritten" was a HUGE success. So fun! You had such a beautiful wedding at Chihuly. Congratulations again and thank you for choosing The Afterparty to be apart of it. :)
All our best,
~Tristin
We had the Afterparty come to our home in Bend and play over the summer. Everything about our experience with the band was great, start to finish. There were a lot of logistics to figure out and Tristin was so great to work with. The music was all so good and everyone sang and danced all night and didn’t want it to end! Our friends are still talking about Joe much fun it was. All ages (from toddlers to 80 year olds) said it was the best party because of the music. We will definitely have the band back!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2023
Hey Sue!
Thank you so much for writing us this review! I'm so glad everything worked out so well that night, considering all the travel involved, the rental of all the gear, working with a brand new sound company, and the smoke in the air there...
certainly could have been complications but everything went brilliantly! We didn't want it to end either - lol! It was so much fun! Can't wait to party with y'all again and I'm excited to find out the new theme for next time! ;-)
~Tristin
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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2023
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 m...
e 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
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!!

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!

The Afterparty rocked!! Super professional. Great entertainment with dancing, costumes and great music. They kept the dance floor full for each of their hour long sets. Highly recommended!

All our best,

If you want live music at your wedding- hire this group! (And if you don’t want live music - these guys will change your mind!) Their energy and talent will blow you away. Not to mention their outfit changes throughout the evening were equally impressive. Tristin was very responsive and accommodating, which made working with The Afterparty all the better. They were able to learn a custom entrance song from our favorite band, and they nailed it — definitely a highlight of the night. Additionally, their performance was super engaging with our guests, ending the night with a karaoke sing-along to “Don’t Stop Believing”. It’s no wonder that our guests left our wedding saying it was the best wedding band they had ever seen.

It means so much to us that you both were so ecstatic and happy with our performance at your wedding. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you again at your friends and family members' weddings! Cheers!

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!
Response from the Vendor on 07/25/2023
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.

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, 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!!

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.

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!!

What a fantastic group - talented, fun, flexible, and the life of the party! Throughout our wedding, everyone was remarking on how great the band was, and the dance floor was continuously active. I wish I had given a bit more thought to which songs I wanted played first and last (that's on me, not the band) but I really appreciated their ability to switch things up in the moment when we noticed a lull after speeches and wanted to boost the mood. Highly recommend The Afterparty and hope I get to hear them play again!

Hi Stephanie!
Thank you for writing us this 5-star review! Your wedding was so much fun on NYE! I'm sorry to hear you would have wanted a different order of songs, but I'm glad we were able to accommodate you when we chatted briefly after the ...
speeches. Our questionnaire would have been the ideal place to put in requests of what to start with and what to end with, but I understand you had A LOT going on leading up to this day. We just went with an order that tends to go over well with the majority of our audiences, but we are happy to accommodate changes for clients, if they have specifics in mind. In any case, we're very glad to hear that you and your guests had such a great time and enjoyed our performance. We also received many wonderful and kind compliments from your guests, and we had such a great time looking out onto the dance floor at so many smiling faces and seeing people singing along with us the whole night. We hope to see you again as well. Cheers and blessings to you both for a long and happy marriage!

If you are looking for a really good time, that's The Afterparty, and they are serious about you having a good time too. First of all, we couldn't ask for a better listener than Tristin and Jeff. They took our vision to make our special day extra special. Seriously, The Afterparty is a dream team! The band's energy was vibrant, and you could not help but dance with them all night. Our wedding reception was small, but The Afterparty band ensured we all had a great time. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about the music choice and the band, of course. Highly highly recommend The Afterparty band for any occasion! Wedding, company party, or whatever you want to do, The Afterparty is the band you want to work with because they are the best!

Hey Sebastien (& Hnin)!
You're so sweet for commenting that you couldn't have asked for better listeners. Awwww. We're so glad you feel that way. It's your wedding, and we totally understand how important it is to you. We would hate to hire som...
eone that doesn't listen, pay attention, and follow through on everything that was discussed. Thank you. We're also so glad you felt so special and that our efforts to make sure of that are appreciated. The whole band had a blast at your wedding, and as you said, even though your reception was small, it was still mighty, and the dance floor was still hopping all night long. And how fun were all the special musical numbers we did? Lol! Jeff and I wanted to also personally thank you and Hnin for providing the band with our own guest table to eat with you all. We always get put in a separate room or backstage area, but the fact that you treated us like guests does not go unappreciated or unnoticed. We also felt really valued and appreciated, so thank you. We wish you both a most wonderful and blessed marriage. We hope to see you again at one of your friends or family member's weddings in the future! ;-) Cheers!

The Afterparty Band was without a doubt, the highlight of our wedding night! I’d like to think my gorgeous reception dress or our festive first dances stole the show but no… the APB was the wedding GOAT!
We wanted a band that kept the party vibe going all night long - we wanted EVERYONE on the dance floor the entire night. And damn, they delivered! The APB played 2 LONG sets and blew everyone away with their high energy dancing, props, and incredible voices.
We had guests ages 15-95 and EVERYONE was dancing, singing and laughing the night away. The combination of danceable oldies with some top 40 flare was on point and far exceeded our expectations.
Working with the APB was a breeze thanks to their professionalism, seamless processes, and kindness. I will be recommending them to all future friends planning weddings and will certainly be hiring them for future parties (hello 35th birthday party!!)
Literally the best weekend of our lives! We love you all so much!

Sound Originals Photo & Video has worked with The Afterparty at a number of weddings and we highly recommend booking with them!! The service they offer is exceptional! The best way to wrap up your perfect wedding day or event is by having a fun and memorable reception - The Afterparty will make that happen! They are experts at what they do and know how to get the party started. As a vendor, we appreciate how kind, professional, and responsive they are. An excellent team who will ensure that your event is a huge success!
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2022
Thank you Sound Originals! We love working with you guys too! Here's to many more successful weddings and events creating everlasting memories for our clients! :-)
The Afterparty band is absolutely incredible. From the moment we reached out to them, Tristin was so responsive and kind. She and Jeff met us in person to tour the venue. They honestly helped us with a lot of decisions about our wedding, not even related to the music! They are a wealth of wedding-related knowledge.
They truly go above and beyond for you. They learned multiple songs for us that sounded so, SO amazing. They cater the whole experience to what you want. They actually came to our rescue the day before our wedding. We had to unexpectedly move our ceremony outside and they let us use their extra PA system and their sound person stuck around the whole ceremony. We were so worried about the acoustics outside, but everything sounded perfect.
I can't even begin to explain how amazing they were performing at our wedding. The Afterparty band is not just a band, it's a whole performance. Our guests were completely blown away. To this day, the one thing people keep asking us is "Who was that band??? They were incredible!" I have a friend getting married in Hawaii next year and she came up to me asking how she can fly the Afterparty to Hawaii for her wedding. Another highlight from our wedding was when our friend requested the song "Shout." We had not requested this song in advance and the Afterparty Band wasn't prepared to play it. They ended up playing it and sounded amazing and it was such a special experience for everyone.
From start to finish, working with the Afterparty band is all around amazing. Without hesitation, hire them for your wedding or party before they get so famous their schedule will be fully booked!!!!

The After Party Seattle is an amazing team. Their client interaction during the planning is great! Their contact is easy and clear. Their receptivity to crazy fun ideas is spot on, even learning a new song and adding their own costumes! They are 5 star !

The Afterparty is an AMAZING, high energy, fun group. Their playlist is SPECTACULAR. Each song has you snapping, clapping, and toe tapping along, and makes you want to get up and dance. Their vocals are PERFECTION. And, their props/wardrobe add to the fun experience of watching them perform. They interact with their audience/the crowd.
Their video clips get you excited to see what they can do and how they perform, but when you see them live and in person, you will quickly see that the video clips only touch the surface of just how SPECTACULAR the Afterparty is.
At the end of their time performing, they leave you wanting MORE!

Afterparty is a party in a band! They are fun, energetic, and their covers are spot on. They even learned a new song for our first dance. Our most-received comment from our guests was “how great the band was.” Highly recommended!

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 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!
Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2022

use 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!
~Tristin
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!

Tristin and The Afterparty 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 were great in the planning stage, 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! Pete

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.

We just had the Afterparty Band Duo play at my wife’s 60th Backyard Birthday party – and what a fun time that was. Tristin and Jeff were fabulous, and our guests are still raving about them weeks after.
We danced the night away to a perfect selection of danceable and sing along tunes, and they even learnt to sing for the first time a few of my wife’s very favorite songs. That was a lovely touch. We especially loved the quick fun prop changes from song to song, and we loved the various genre ‘mashups’ the Afterparty band does. We had many age groups at the party, and young and old alike enjoyed a great evening of music and dancing – keeping the dance floor packed all night long.
A little inclement weather affecting our outdoor event did not phase the band in the least, and they kept the party going and the guests delighted.
I was very impressed with the professional manner in which the band set up for the night, and then packed up when it was over. Got there early and caused no fuss or interruption with any of the other setup stuff we had going on. I really appreciated that. Tristin and Jeff are very friendly and we enjoyed getting to work with them.
Leading up to the party, the Afterparty Band was very responsive and helpful in trying to help me plan for the event and how the music would fit in best. Tristin was super easy to deal with and there were no hiccups along the way. I appreciated the way they stayed on top of everything with updates and reminders and were always so organized.
At the end of the night we all wanted them to play on and on – we were having such a blast. I already have had several friends make enquiries about the Afterparty Band, and I have no doubts we will see them again soon amongst our friend group and their parties. I would highly recommend the Afterparty Band for any event where fun, music and dancing is what you are after!!
We are so happy we went with The Afterparty for our wedding! We even had multiple guests text us days later asking who they were and told us they would love to book them for future events! They were so great and fun and even performed a song my dad wrote for our father daughter dance- so sweet! We heard compliments all night from guests about how good they were. We really enjoyed them and they truly made our special night unforgettable. I highly recommend them to everyone you won't regret it!

True professionals and wonderful to work with. The AfterParty went above and beyond to ensure the guests had a great time at our daughter's wedding. I received many, many compliments on the Band and folks were up and dancing all night long until the last song ended. They don't provide just great music but they are also very entertaining. It is apparent they really enjoy what they do. The band has a real connection to each other and their audience. Their communication prior to the wedding was excellent also, they truly want to make your event a success that folks will remember. They accomplished that and then some, wish I could give 10 stars!

I am so happy to give a review of EXCELLENT to The Afterparty Duo. Tristin and Jeff are very talented musicians with outstanding musical choices. They are very entertaining, very fun, and very good at what they do! You can dance, sing-along, or watch their personalities come alive with their changes of props and costumes that match their songs. You will really truly enjoy their show! They added so much fun to my birthday party and I strongly recommend them for any party you plan!

What an amazing duo! Tristin Rupp and Jeffery Heiser are very talented and versatile performers who can create the perfect ambiance for any event. From sweet ballads to upbeat jams, this duo is flexible to meet any of your needs. The team is easy to work with and they come prepared with all equipment, lights, and even props! They certainly know how to engage the crowd and create an entertaining environment. We had guests of all ages dancing and enjoying the entertainment. After witnessing their remarkable performances at two events with so much positive feedback, I will certainly continue to use The Afterparty Duo for upcoming events.

We hired The Afterparty for a surprise birthday bash! They did not disappoint! All of our guests went out of their way to say how great The Afterparty band was. The brought great music, energy and fun to the party. We had 7 pieces and they sounded great. They adjusted the sound for our venue . They were on time and set up and ready to go for the party. From the first time I reached out to the band, up through the end of the party they were a pleasure to work with and very professional. ( I worked mostly with Tristin) It was easy to make the deposit, sign and return the contract. Their follow-through with regards to our venue's insurance requirement was greatly appreciated. They kept in touch ( from when we booked to the actual party) and were always prompt in responding to any questions I had. I hope to engage The Afterparty band for future events!

Book this band before they're booked by someone else!
Everyone at our wedding raved about the band and our smaller than expected wedding (thanks COVID) had the energy and fun of a way bigger wedding thanks to the band. I think the dance floor was full the entire time. They also learned two Spanish-language songs (Vivir Mi Vida and Suavemente) for our wedding and they did an incredible job!
One friend told me the next day that the music flowed one right after the after like a DJ - which is LITERALLY the band's tagline. So you know right then and there that they know what they're doing.
From a planning standpoint, Tristin was one of the most responsive vendors we worked with during our planning process and showed great attention to detail when it came to reviewing our song lists to identify which were in their repertoire vs. not. She was also a great MC during the wedding speeches at dinner and during the Shoe Game (a highly underrated wedding activity in my view!)
They played a huge part in making the night one of the happiest and most fun nights to date. Thank you so much!

Wow Clarissa (& William)! You’ve written us such a glowing review and you did it without me even asking for it! We feel so great about that. Thank you. I’m glad you also mentioned booking us before someone else does. Like we briefly talked abou...
t over video chat we’re not a consortium or franchise band so what people see is what they get and we can guarantee them that. Once we are booked we’re booked and we can’t and won’t send out a different version of the band like some other bands do. This keeps it all under quality control and ensures that you are getting exactly what has been discussed and gone over (as you said) in great detail. And yes! We follow through with our tag line lol! We are a DJ-inspired band playing one song right into the next so there’s never a dull moment or a drop in energy and flow. We’re so glad to hear we helped make your night one of the happiest and most fun to date in such a big way. On behalf of the entire band and crew you’re welcome, thank you again for choosing us, AND thank you again for writing us this detailed, thoughtful, and complimentary review. Blessings to you and William for your journey ahead together now as husband and wife! :-)

The Afterparty was wonderful to have at our wedding, from the start to finish they didn’t disappoint. I can confirm all of the amazing reviews they have all over their platform were just 10/10. I LOVE how professional they were handling our wants and execute our vision for the wedding. I love their input and professionalism in taking care of our vision. I would love to hire them again for other party my family will have in the future. Thank you again Tristin and the Afterparty band for being there on our wedding day! It’s like a wedding that we have been dreaming of! Everyone was dancing and having fun

You have to hire the Afterparty for your wedding. They are a top notch professional band that won't disappoint. They brought high energy, choreographed performances with fun costumes. They were everything we hoped for. They were professional to communicate with and would respond to emails quickly. They were extremely accommodating with requests we had, such as learning some new songs :) We moved our wedding out a year because of the pandemic and they were onboard with the new date, and wanted to know if they could help in anyway. This just shows that they treat their clients well, and have the best attitudes. After the wedding many of our guests told us they were the best band they had at a wedding and could not stop talking about how great the music and vibe was. Everyone was dancing whole night! If you thinking about hiring a band for you wedding, you HAVE to hire them.

I think our favorite moment of the night was when all the guests got on the dance floor and did a choreographed, but also improvised dance to Jimmy Buffett's "Fins." That was delightful for us! LOL!
We've already gotten inquiries from your guests for future weddings so thank you for hiring us and for recommending us. You're the best and we had such a blast playing for your beautiful wedding with those breathtaking views at Sleeping Lady Resort. :-)

My husband and I picked The Afterparty for our wedding because we wanted a band that not only had talent, but also had energy, variety and charisma. And boy did The Afterparty fulfill all of our expectations and more!!! I was super passionate about hiring a band that would keep my guests on the dance floor all night long and I'm so grateful that The Afterparty did just that. All our guests were absolutely blown away by the music/energy at our wedding and are still talking about it weeks later!!!

We're so glad we hired The Afterparty to perform at our wedding! Right from the start, my husband and I knew we wanted something more personal than a typical DJ/dance party at our wedding. We started searching for local wedding bands and came across The Afterparty online. After reading all the great reviews and watching their videos on their social media, we decided to go with them.
A few months after we signed our contract, Covid reached its peak in the U.S. and weddings were being postponed/cancelled left and right. Even though our wedding date was August 2021, my husband and I still decided to be conservative and to scale down our wedding to an elopement. We were worried that we'd lose our deposit with The Afterparty, but they were so flexible and gracious that they proposed a new plan which was to have a duo perform at our elopement instead of the entire band and didn't charge us anything extra beyond the deposit we already put down.
On our wedding day, everything went perfectly! Tristin and Jeff showed up on time with all the audio equipment in the world you can think of. They performed both my walk down the aisle song and our first dance song beautifully. They also acted as our DJ when they weren't performing and played Beyonce's Halo just as we popped our champagne in celebration of our marriage. It was perfect!
If you're considering hiring them for your wedding, don't hesitate. It'll be one of the best wedding planning decisions you make! They are talented, professional, flexible, and great with communication. We can't recommend them enough!

Fantastic Band With A Wide Variety Of Entertainment!
The Afterparty was 'the icing on the cake,' that our function needed, to be a complete hit out of the ballpark party! Everyone, and I mean everyone, had a remarkable time, thanks to the entertainment performed by this band. The band themselves have charisma, kindness, and listen thoroughly on what your needs and wants are for your venue. I highly recommend The Afterparty and be ready to 'cut a rug!'

The After Party Band was INCREDIBLE! They were able to get everyone up and dancing (even people I know who aren’t a fan of dancing at weddings). Their voices were amazing and had my dad in tears with a surprise rendition of his favorite Pearl Jam song. Oh and they had the best costume changes. Tristin was an amazing emcee and was so engaging with the crowd! 10/10 would recommend.

"We recently hired The Afterparty Band to play at a socially-distanced and safe backyard get together and they truly exceeded our expectations. They are a great band with amazing musicianship and professionalism. The band consultant, Tristin, was very easy to work with and provided many flexible options for our occasion. She was also quick to respond to any questions that we had and continued to communicate with us until the event was over. On the day of the event, they arrived in plenty of time to set up before our guests arrived and their set up/tear down was very quick and easy. I cannot say enough about the entertainment that they provided us - the vocals, guitar, bass, tracks, etc. were incredibly impressive. It is obvious that they are a band with dedicated members who work very hard. 2020 has undoubtedly been a tough year for everyone and The Afterparty helped bring some great joy into our lives for a few hours that we needed. Just to be able to hear live music provided by them was simply THE BEST. It was definitely an event that everyone will remember and talk about for a long time! We would highly recommend The Afterparty to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and experienced band that plays high energy and entertaining music for their wedding or event- you will be guaranteed an incredibly fun and memorable experience!

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for this enthusiastic review! I know we all enjoyed playing for your party just as much as you enjoyed us playing. We've missed live music too! It was our pleasure to serve you and your needs for your party and we hop...
e to do it again soon. Thank you for being such an awesome and easy client to work with! ~The Afterparty
We hired The Afterparty Band to play at our party and I was blown away by their performance. They had the dance floor full the entire night! There was such a wide variety of songs played that it ensured every attendee heard songs they enjoyed. Everyone hit the dance floor at least a couple of time with some people never leaving it. I heard so many amazing things for our guests about their experience. The Afterparty Band absolutely made our event a success! They even dressed in costumes and made multiple costume changes which added to the event’s fun atmosphere.
Prior to the event, I was also extremely impressed with The Afterparty Band’s professionalism and communication skills. We had some staffing changes and they ended up working with multiple people as we made needed transitions. They completely rolled with the changes, were super patient as new staff got up to speed and did a great job communicating what they needed.

Thank you for reviewing us on the knot Joanna! We really enjoyed playing for your event and were happy to work with you and your staff to make it a huge success! We really appreciate you and hope to work with you again soon! Happy Holidays!
We feel so lucky to have discovered The Afterparty!! Tristin, Jeff and the band are just phenomenal. They're the whole package: lively, talented, amazing musicians with charisma, setlist flexibility, complete professionalism, and great mixes to keep the music flowing!!! We even had Tristin as our MC, and had her sing with our string trio during the ceremony. So many people told me they made her cry with her rendition of "At Last" and "Can't Help Falling in Love".
Everyone at our wedding couldn't stop saying how we had the best wedding band ever. I was worried that not many people would dance, or that it would be too crazy/loud for the conservatives in my family, but it was PERFECT and they had the dance floor going all night, one favorite rolling into the next till it was hard for anyone to take a break!
Finding a wedding band can be exhausting. Book them now and you'll be thanking yourself forever afterward like we are! :)

To anyone looking for a great band to entertain at your event, I highly recommend "The Afterparty" based out of Seattle, WA! The Afterparty performed at our YMCA of the Palouse Keys to Success Dinner Gala and Auction Fundraiser and were the headliners for the evening. They did a fabulous job and kept the dance floor full throughout the evening. They had a great song selection and their transitions were seamless. Their vocals were awesome with the covers they sang of crowd favorites. I very much liked how Tristin interacted with the crowd on the dance floor during her performance. All the band members were great to work with and openly communicated expectations and needs prior to the event and were very accommodating to our needs as well. Since the event, I have had numerous guests come to me and compliment how great the band was and how much fun they had that evening. Thank you Afterparty for helping make our 11th Annual Keys to Success event a success!

Hey Josh! Thank you so much for writing us this stellar review! We were honored to be your headliner for your event and had the best time doing it. The kids were amazing and the whole organization is amazing. The audience interactions and invol...
vement is Tristin's favorite part! Lol. We'd love to do it again next year and we're so happy the night was a huge success!!!
I've been booking The Afterparty for an annual large-scale event (many thousands of party-goers and audience members) for a number of years now, and I've always been impressed by their professionalism, musicianship, enthusiasm, and ability to energize a crowd. They are also very flexible and understanding when unavoidable scheduling issues arise with large event planning. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun, engaging party band. Their unique set style keeps the energy up, keeps people dancing, and makes for a very memorable experience. Their pre-event communication is top-notch, as well!

Thank you for this stellar review Cale! We love doing your events and are so appreciative of you taking the time to write this for us, and of your communication, and understanding. Looking forward to the many years of fun events to come!
The band is a great entertainment choice - it is such a polished group: amazing vocals and instrumentals; fun/upbeat playlist which seamlessly melds "oldies" and current songs for listening and/or dancing; frequent costume changes that perfectly reflect songs played; and an engaging ensemble who create an interactive experience for the audience.

Absolutely Fantastic Band!
The Afterparty band was the perfect choice for our wedding! They were great to work with and very accommodating to our requests, these guys are Pros! The best compliment was that all our guests said the music was fabulous, many guests saying 'this is the best wedding band I've heard'!
Each member was very talented, the singing sounded great and they had everyone out on the dance floor, from young to old! Even though our wedding was on a Sunday, our guests stayed late after we left to dance even more! We highly recommend The Afterparty for weddings and special occasions!

Hi Brittany! Thank you so much for your review! We remember that night going late and how much fun everyone had! It was our pleasure. We hope to see you guys again soon at one of our Seattle shows or showcases. Thanks again!
You won't regret choosing this band for your wedding entertainment. The dance floor was packed from the first song until the last, with ALL ages of people, from kids to great-grandmas! I realize that a band can cost more than a DJ, but trust me you won't be sorry hiring The Afterparty, and your guests will be talking about your wedding reception for years to come! The way they move seamlessly from one song to the next never gives your guests a chance to sit down, and they won't want to anyway! Their song choices were perfect! I give them a 10 out of 10!
Response from the Vendor on 06/13/2019
Thank you for your enthusiastic review Laura! We had a blast at your daughter's wedding! We're so glad we really made a difference for you and your guests. We look forward to seeing you guys again at one of our public shows soon!
