Hi Katie,
Two months after our wedding and we are still hearing from guests who cannot stop gushing about how incredible The After Party Experience was as our live band. They played for nearly three hours straight without a break, deftly moving from classic tunes to our requested era of late aughts and 2010s popular music. There were moments that felt like a Beyonce concert, inventive rap medleys, classic head bangers and everything in between. They must have played samples of over 50 songs in total. The newlyweds loved being called up on stage to dance in front of the crowd as they played the final song, the Kygo remix of Whitney Houston's Higher Love. We cannot recommend TAPE enough and hope to see them live again someday.

Hi Andrew,
I'm happy to report that we were blown away by The After Party Experience. They exceeded all of our expectations and we couldn't have been more happy with them. They did a great job of keeping to the preferences we discussed and catering to everyone in the crowd. The energy was phenomenal and as far as I remember the dance floor was packed the entire evening. Many of our guests have made positive comments since the wedding and were truly impressed.

WOW, just WOW!!!! The After Party Experience was absolutely AMAZING!!!! The best band ever. I have received nothing but amazing incredible compliments on our band. The dance floor was packed all night long. I know Blake and I never got off of it!! The band truly made our wedding and everyone had so much fun dancing the night away!!
The music selections were great. We loved how they would switch over to songs and not perform the entire version, which kept everyone on their toes!! I also appreciate them playing a request that I went and asked for. Each performer/artist were just so fun!!! They were very much involved in our crowd. They did a fabulous job at making Blake and I feel so special.
We cannot thank you and their team enough for everything!!
Thank you and TAPE for making our wedding a true dream!!

Not only did they play great music and sound amazing the entire reception, but I felt as if they genuinely wanted everyone in the crowd to have a great time. They were so interactive with all of our guests and kept everyone dancing all night long, I barley left the dance floor myself because they didn’t take one break! Our family and friends also can’t stop talking about how fantastic they were. One of my friends even said that they wish they were the band at every wedding they went to! They definitely exceeded my expectations and I’m so thankful we had them for our wedding. Thanks again for all your help along the way!

The After Party Experience went above and beyond our expectations! They were so incredibly fantastic and people were so impressed with them. They quite literally played for 3.5 hours straight with no breaks and were dancing the entire time. We also appreciated how communicative and easy they were to work with. All of our guests came up to us throughout the wedding and have been contacting us after to let us know that they were the best band they had ever experienced at a wedding. They kept the energy going for the entire evening and the dance floor was never empty. They are also extremely talented both vocally and instrumentally and played a wide variety of songs. We would love to leave them a review anywhere possible and will recommend them to everyone we can!

Dear Mike,
The band was beyond fabulous! In light of the pandemic, many people at the reception hadn't really been able to enjoy a live music event for quite some time, and were 'beyond ready' to party. The band did not let us down. The dance floor was packed and jammin' till the final number. We were all blown away by the talent and energy of the band all evening long, and their performance will be an awesome memory for all of those who were lucky enough to be present to witness it.
Please again convey my thanks to them.

I just got back from our honeymoon but I wanted to go ahead and respond to let you know that The After Party Experience was truly phenomenal! I have honestly had multiple people tell me that they were the best wedding band that they had ever seen. It was definitely a nontraditional reception (at no fault to them at all) but they were such good sports about it all and truly made it a great night!
I know both my sister and wedding planner also said that every band member they spoke to was beyond nice as well I’ll definitely be leaving a great review online! My sister in law also said she wants to hire them for her wedding one day so be in the look out for that in the next year or two 😂.

The After Party Experience was AMAZING!!!!! The band members were super friendly and great to work with. One of the girls was so kind and helped me pin my hair back up that was falling out! All of our guests were talking about them during and after the wedding, saying how good they were. They also did not take any breaks once they started performing, which impressed everyone and really kept the party going. Their playlist was upbeat, but mixed in music from different eras and genres so that everyone could enjoy it. My fatherinlaw has already made a post on Facebook recommending them to anyone! 100000% would recommend them to anyone!

The reception was an EPIC success due to the After Party Experience.
If you talk to the band, I bet they will say that they’ve never performed at a wedding where the first people on the dance floor were the grandmothers and the final people on the dance floor were STILL the grandmothers! The Filipino crowd knows how to have a good time!
The band was very professional and I think that everyone in the crowd that was not married was asking for their card. Hopefully, they will get another 23 bookings from our event.
Julia did all the leg work but for my part, I found the communications clear and timely. There was no question what was expected. A very professional experience.

Hi Andrew!
The After Party Experience was absolutely amazing. Almost every person that I’ve talked to after the wedding was praising the band. Usually with bands, I can tell they are covering of a song, but The After Party Experience didn’t give me that feeling at all. Rather, they did an excellent job at making the songs their own and getting the guests into the music.
The ordering was perfect, with the Latin songs coming first and the more traditional wedding songs after. I made a lot of song suggestions that I didn’t see on their website—obviously knew they wouldn’t know how to perform a lot of them—but I feel like they took what they saw from that and made a playlist that really reflected my husband and I’s music preferences (Latin, 80’s, disco, and pop).
TAPE was also very flexible. The wedding was delayed due to rain so we had to make some last minute changes to the order of events. They were great sports about just rolling with it.
TAPE did an amazing job and it wouldn’t have been the same without their hard work.
Many thanks,
Alex

Good morning, Mike. I hope all is well to start your week. I think I am going to speak for Lexi and Brian and the whole group. The After Party Experience could not have been better. I know it was Lexi’s wedding, but I have never seen as many guests dancing all night and not hardly even leaving the dance floor for more than a minute or two. The band’s playlist is so huge, that they were able to play almost any style or genre to make folks happy and keep them engaged. On top of that, they are so talented it is incredible. We could not have been more pleased with the whole deal. I know Lexi and Brian were so thankful to be able to get The After Party Experience. It made there incredible day even better! There were no issues of any kind. We have and will continue to tell everyone we know about this band. They are tops in our book!

“Where did you find this amazing band?”That’s the repeated question we got from our guests throughout the night of our wedding and days after. The After Party Experience is the best band ever. I repeat…The After Party Experience is the best band ever. The group of talented artists is high energy, fun and entertaining. The moment they stepped onto the stage, they brought it and turned our reception into a fullblown concert. In fact, before dinner was evenserved and a whole 3045 minutes before the dancing portion was scheduled to start, our guests were on the dance floor. Weeks before our big weekend, the bandleader Daniel contacted us and had me fill out an easy questionnaire. He followed up and wanted to know exactly what we were looking for so that he could get a feel for the night and how they could prepare. The band was not only prepared but they exceeded all expectations. We had recordings we needed them to play. They did that. We had announcements and introductions for the reception. They did that.They performed the songs live for our first dance and mothers/sons dance. I thought I wanted the recorded, original versions but Daniel confidently said his performers would be happy to do it live…thank god I Listened. It was beautiful.The vocalists were outstanding. The musicians were spectacular. They danced! They came with colorful lights for the stage we setup making the already incredible show visually stunning. There’s also a DJ allowing the band to take built in breaks. The music sounded so good…at times,I had to look at the stage to see if it was the band performing live music or the DJ. Hip hop, R&B, pop, rock…The After Party Experience can do it all. I could go on and on but I’ll simply say BOOK THISBAND. The cost of this band was also a great value but at this point, I feel like I underpaid. You will not be disappointed. And you will dance all night long!

One of my favorite memories from the night was when the band allowed my two brothers who are also musicians to use their instruments to sing to Luis and I. It was so thoughtful and made the night so sweet. They also played specifically requested songs that was so much for us to be able to dance to.

The only time our guest stopped dancing was to watch the band perform. They had a kindness and professionalism that is very hard to find in any profession.
I am in the wedding industry in the Tampa Bay Area and I will be sure to let anyone know who is looking for a band about my Sam Hill experience. The wedding was on a tiny island during spring break so we were concerned about the band and their travels with heavy Florida spring break traffic. Daniel set my mind at ease and arrived in plenty of time!

Hi Beth,
Sorry for the delayed response; we are finally settling down and getting back into the swing of things. I cannot say enough great things about the After Party Experience band. Daniel was so easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make the night the best ever for us. We were able to text, email, and talk several times before the reception, they learned to play a new song for our first dance, and even played a UGA marching band tune for our exit. The venue said they were easy to work with and were timely. They were very flexible during the night when we got a little behind and only took one of the two allotted breaks. All of the guests at the reception could not stop talking about what a fun group they were. People who do not normally dance were on the dance floor all night. Several of my parent's friends said they had planned on it being an early and reserved night, but stayed and danced till the end because they didn't want to miss out. From learning new things, to getting down with the crowd and dancing on the dance floor, to making sure everyone at the reception was having a blast, the After Party Experience made the night so fun and great. I will definitely leave feedback on The Knot as well!
Thanks so much,
Marjorie
Andy ....about the APX what can I say.... they were awesome! Our videographer described it as the best reception he had ever filmed. The set lists were on point and appealed to all ages.

Andy,
I loved working with the After Party Experience band and hope we can team up again soon. Honestly, one of the easiest bands from a planning perspective.
Daniel was fantastic to work with — one of the most organized band leaders. And he had a smile on his face the entire time.
Oh... and they sounded great! Thanks for checking in!

Mike,
Just wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved The After Party Experience! They were fantastic, upbeat, had everyone on the dance floor and totally made the wedding reception the party we had wanted!!
I honestly don’t think we could have asked for more unless we head more time. The dance floor was packedpeople who never dance were on the dance floor. I think the songs Eric and Jordan chose and the fact that they kept it high energy and took their break during dinner made it a perfect night. All our guests LOVED the band and I was so happy we went with them.
I already gave you a 5 star rating on The Knot as soon as we got back. If for some reason it didn’t come through , please let me know because I certainly want to make sure you get the rating!!

Mike,
Saying After Party Experience was amazing would be the understatement of the century. We could not have been happier with the band. Their energy, outgoing personalities, and amazing talent kept our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Everyone was raving about them the entire night, and I am still getting comments on how GREAT they were. I truly don't think the wedding would have been as amazing of a night if it weren't for After Party Experience. We are incredible thankful that they were able to perform at our wedding. In addition, they were so professional and were so helpful in conversations leading up to the wedding. Not only was the reception great, but the ceremony music was EXACTLY what we had hoped for.
I couldn't think of one complaint even if i TRIED!!

Hi Andy!
The APX band couldn’t have been more professional! Daniel truly is on it, followed everything to a tee and was flexible when needed. They were rocking!
Hopefully we can have them back soon. Looking forward to working with you even more at this new property – let me know if you acquire any more Miami talent!

Hey Daniel,
Thank you very much for helping to make our wedding so fun and memorable. Thara and I had a terrific time!
We loved your music – you guys did a great job keeping the dance floor packed and making sure our guests had a wonderful time. After the wedding, several of our family members/friends couldn’t stop talking about how great your songs were and how fun the overall performance was (especially the Michael Jackson dance moves!).
Please extend our thanks to the rest of your band members. We appreciate you being part of our big day!

Hi Andy,
The After Party Experience was incredible! We received such positive feedback from our guests regarding what a great experience they provided. I wasn’t sure if a three hour set was going to be too long for dancing, but the After Party Experience was incredible with keeping the energy up and everyone out on the dance floor. We were thoroughly impressed with the musicians and we could not be more pleased! I will pass along some photos soon. Also, if there are specific sites that you all prefer for posting positive reviews, please let me know.
Thank you again,

I have to say the band was beyond amazing. Every single guest talked about how great they were and how they made the wedding unforgettable. They were not only wonderful musicians but were so fun and kept the party going. They were interactive and played the perfect combination of old songs and newer favorites. I honestly could not have asked for a more perfect band for my wedding day.
Thanks for everything!

I just wanted to thank you again for your help finding a band for my daughter Phoebe's wedding June 10, 2017. I know that you have a lot of clients from all over and I just wanted to say THEY WERE PERFECT!
We could not have had a better band for what we wanted and were looking for!! The dance floor stayed full and no one, including the bride and groom, wanted the night to end! Even got some good photos of the bride and groom (mock) playing with them on stage. We received endless rave compliments on the band. I just don't have enough words to let you know how much fun we ALL had!
Thanks again for your time and help

Mr. Mutombo loved the Congolese music too. It was a very nice touch.

I have never in my life seen a more professional group of individuals! It was an absolute pleasure working with you guys!! Very professional from start to finish.

Last year I encouraged one of my wedding clients to hire APX for their reception. My clients were ecstatic with the show! The bride and groom were a younger couple and APX was able to perform all the top hits of today, but also had a completely unique sound that really got every one out on the dance floor. They energy this band puts out is infectious. At the end of the day I received huge bonus points from my couple for recommending them. Thanks Guys!!

I was so happy with the performance and professionalism of this band! They were very attentive to what we wanted and had no problem answering all of our questions. I spoke with Erika and she was so helpful from beginning to end. They put on a great show without even taking breaks! My guests were so impressed that two of them are booking the band for their weddings next year. This is the best band I've ever experienced. You can't go wrong with this one!

I would like to start by saying Make the After Party Experience your experience! My husband and I got married Jan of this year. This band made a big difference in the energy of the wedding ceremony and reception. They played my song selections during ceremony, and began live music as soon as we said I do. All my guest kept coming up asking who the band was, and how much they were enjoying the live music!
I can't express how much affordable quality The Afterparty Experience will bring to your event!

OMG! This group was a DREAM COME TRUE!! All of my guests are still raving about how good the APX did! Even my parents and grandparents couldn't stop dancing that night! I want to especially thank Daniel and Erika for being SO HELPFUL and going ABOVE THE CALL OF DUTY to make sure my husband and I were taken care of, from the ceremony music all the way until the send off at the end of the night! The DJ... INCREDIBLE!!! HE DANCES AND DOES AMAZING TRICKS! All of the musicians were phenomenal also!!! The party never stopped and they did not take A BREAK!

If you are looking for a high energy band for your event, look no further!! APX blew the roof off our wedding, it was a total blast!! I can not tell you how many times our guests came up to me on the dance floor and said this band is awesome, where did you find them?!. Not only did they please all our guests (and my new fatherinlaw ;) ), they were incredibly accommodating when it came to our introduction song choice. We wanted to do a mix of two different songs and with a few snippets, they put together the best intro we could have asked for! Totally made our intro most memorable. And the DJ!! I loved the scratchin' and dancin'! The whole APX team far surpassed our expectations!! We are looking forward to joining them during their next open event!! Love you Daniel & Erika, and the whole crew. Thanks again!!!

Wow!! I cannot express how amazing APX was at my wedding this past weekend!! From the very first time we met with Daniel and Erika, I knew they were going to be the PERFECT party band for our wedding. They were very detailed oriented and made sure to find out all of our musical likes and dislikes! They were absolutely perfect! The whole night was high energy, and they did not take one break!! It was amazing! I'm not sure how they had such a great energy without a break. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the whole band. I would hire them again in a minute!! All of our guests said it was the BEST reception and best music they've seen.. more like a concert! Thank you so much Erika, Daniel, and the whole APX band!!

I can't put into words how happy I was with APX. They made our wedding reception with their amazing talent, high energy, guest participation, and by just being an all around FUN band!! All of the guest that attended our wedding still continue to tell us how awesome this band was and that APX was the best band they've ever heard at a reception. My husband and I completely agree and have already started thinking of another party we could throw, just to have these guys come and entertain us again. Daniel was the one that I was in contact with before the wedding, and he was so easy and nice to work with!! Very responsive and professional!! Highly recommend this band to any bride that loves a band + DJ and wants her guest to have a blast on the dance floor!!!

The After Party Experience absolutely made our wedding unforgettable! From playing the music for our ceremony, to an awesome jazz cocktail hour, to entertaining a wide variety of guests, this group did an incredible job. Their sound was perfect, and had an amazing range of musical variety. People are still coming up to me and my family telling us what an incredible band they were! They can sing and play ANYTHING incredibly well, and are amazing performers. They enjoy their jobs and will make your wedding ceremony/reception UNFORGETTABLE. They were so accommodating and made the entire planning process so much less stressful. I would recommend this group to anybody!!!

APX you guys freaking rock!!!! Brides and grooms this is the most professional hard working band I've ever seen!! Erika was such an incredible singer and her husband Daniel was such a BIG HELP! I wish I could have them perform every weekend!! My wedding guests danced all night long from the older generation to the young!! We had about 400 people there, and not one person stopped dancing!

Entertainment was of the utmost importance when my husband and I started planning our wedding. We looked at a number of different acts, but After Party Experience really stood out from the crowd. We were intrigued by their fresh approach to classic hits, and when it came to the performance, they did not disappoint! Everyone, from my 8 yearold daughter to my 80 yearold grandmother was on the dance floor! Even now, a full month later, we still get messages from friends and family about how much fun they had! Thanks, After Party Experience, for giving us an experience we will NEVER FORGET!

We really enjoyed working with the band leaders Daniel and Erika. Our reception was entertaining the whole night. They did not take one break! My husband and I was able to dance and sing to some of our favorite songs. Even our guest enjoyed the music that was being played. I could see everyone having a good time dancing, laughing, and singing a long with the band. The DJ was hilarious! They played all the songs that we requested. Overall, it was an all around great performance. It really completed my night with a bang. I will definitely refer them to future couples.

Firstly, everyone still talks about how much fun we had dancing and the music selection performed at our reception. Before then I had no idea how amazing a banddj combo would work. My wife found and hired them and it was absolutely Awesome. They were extremely professional (ON TIME and ready to rock!!!), full of energy and very talented. I've already booked them for an upcoming corporate event in February! The pricing is beyond fair, and it truly is an Experience they bring to the event.

The After Party Experience APX rocked our wedding all night long, with everything from jazz to rock to hip hop! The jazz they played during the dinner hour was amazing. They customized our first dance song for us and balanced our requested songs with a fun, festive set list. Our friends and family were on the dance floor all night long and are still talking about how awesome they were. (It might have been the first event where no one complained about the band!) They were great at interacting with everyone on the dance floor keeping our wedding upbeat and exciting.
Planning for the wedding, they were great to communicate with, very responsive.
We highly recommend them!!!

Wow, wow, wow.. There are no words to describe this band. My husband and I had searched for months for a wedding band that was unique, high energy, and current. We were searching online one night ready to give up and just hire a DJ when we found the After Party Experience. I called Erika (the lead singer) late in the evening, praying not only that they would be available, but that they would also be willing to drive to Nashville for our destination wedding. From the first conversation It felt right. Erika is so sweet, and both her and her husband Daniel were incredibly easy to work with. They are not just a band but true musicians. Their song list is extensive. From the minute they started playing everyone was on the dance floor. Our guests still rave about how awesome they were and our photos from the night are incredible. You can genuinely tell how happy everyone was that night and how much fun our guests had dancing. This is what we will remember about our wedding day. Four generations of family members and friends all dancing together on the dance floor. We can't wait to get our wedding video back to see them playing again. Without a doubt they were the best vendor we hired for our wedding day, and would highly recommend them for any type of event. Erika and Daniel... you guys truly are the best. We wish you so much success, and can't thank you enough for everything you did for us. You made our wedding night, and we are beyond happy!
