After Hours Music & Entertainment, INC. — Local services in Town of Islip

We are so happy we chose After Hours Entertainment for our wedding!!

We decided to contact After Hours after reading so many positive reviews about them online. We first met with Phil in person where he outlined all of the services After Hours provides. We could really tell Phil ran his business well from his presentation, and were so reassured by his professional and friendly demeanor that we decided to book shortly after this first meeting.

Through the planning stages Phil made everything so easy with his timely responsiveness and willingness to answer any questions we had. Even when we were nervous about our long list of song requests and which songs we wanted at particular moments, Phil was always reassuring with his organization of everything. And now looking back we can honestly say they nailed it.

We especially want to thank our DJ Jake (or as he introduced himself, Jake from State Farm) for making the night especially memorable. Jake was so cool to work with beforehand organizing the bridal party entrances, he really knew how to read the room and keep the party going and we received so many compliments from our guests about how good of a job Jake and his team did. We chose to have the open air photo booth, and it was a huge hit with everyone. At the end of the night After Hours gave us a guest book with pictures of everyone and their written messages to us. It was so nice to look through as soon as we got home and were still coming off the high of such a fun night. They also decorated our ballroom with uplighting that really gave a nice ambience to the room that we were very happy with.

We definitely can see why After Hours had so many great reviews online. We are so pleased to give our highest recommendation to choose After Hours...

After Hours is 110% worth having for your wedding!!

The amount of comments we got from our friends and family about how much fun they had dancing!!! That’s truly what we wanted. We love knowing everyone had an all around great time that night!

Phil not only was incredible from the start of us booking with him but the entire night of our reception Phil’s aurora kept the dance floor so alive, he had my husband and my back the entire night making sure whatever we wanted - he was on it! He is an amazing MC and truly amazing all together as a human being.

DJ McLovin was absolutely brilliant all night. He played every song that we asked for! He incorporated last minute requests that we added in a couple nights before our wedding and had zero issue with us doing that. He transitioned the songs beautifully and kept up with our timeline very well. We had quite a bit of slow dances and he made sure that everything was exactly how we wanted.

We also had drummer Bopa who was so aliiiive the entire night. He allowed my husband and I to play on the drums too which was so awesome! I saw him performing at a wedding Expo with Phil and I fell in love with the energy that he brings. I cannot express the gratitude o have to bringing it to my wedding… making my dream turn to a reality!

Everything about our wedding night from these guys was nothing less than amazing. I am so grateful to have had the chance to see them at a wedding expo and to be able to book with them for my wedding for it to have had such a remarkable outcome.

These guys are absolutely worth having! 10/10 experience and you will not be disappointed if you ever see them perform. We are so grateful these guys helped make our wedding as memorable as it was!! We’re beyond appreciative...

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...
