Incredible djs. Very personable and fun. They helped create an elegant, yet fun reception atmosphere. Our guests were dancing all night long (and many usually never dance at functions). We were so impressed with their professionalism. They were willing to do anything to make our day perfect. Also, throughout the wedding they snapped informal pictures of our guests and gave them to us at the end of the night. The pictures were fabulous and so much fun! On top of getting those pictures, they also gave us a CD/DVD of our wedding music. Fabulous ending to our perfect day. Highly recommended.

Peter Devine and his assistant went above and beyond what we ever expected for our wedding. They were extremely professional and played great music - they were able to read the crowd very well and were effective in getting everyone on the dance floor for the whole night! On top of that, Peter kept my husband and I informed every step of the way. He worked with our other vendors on a timeline and made sure everything went smoothly. And, as if that wasn't enough, he took some fantastic photos of our reception and the dancing! We got copies of all the pictures, a DVD montage and a CD of the songs we had requested for our special day. Peter was simply amazing and we are forever grateful for how easy and fun he made our wedding day. You can NOT got wrong with this vendor and especially with Peter!!!

My Husband and I used After Hours DJ for our wedding last month. We had an AMAZING time. Pete and J.R. did a great job keeping us and our guests entertained the entire night! When it came time to announce us, I was a little upset because the wedding party was taking FOREVER to line up, and Pete came in and calmed me down and after the announcement (which was awesome!) he came up to us to ensure that we did not take up as much time as planned. Our guest raved about our wonderful DJs, the dance floor was crowded the entire night! We had SO much fun! I will definitely reccommend After Hours to all my friends and family! They made everything SO easy!

Sal Fusco is the #1 Wedding DJ!
We are a same-sex couple who found the process of selecting a DJ to be a bit tricky. When selecting a cake caterer or an individual to print out wedding invitations, the rules are generally the same and guidelines are typically easy to follow. When we first started interviewing DJ entertainment we were quite frustrated. We spoke with DJs who told us they had performed at same-sex weddings in the past but when asked for examples as to how they introduced the married couple to the crowd or alternatives to the traditional garter toss, they stumbled and could not come up with an answer. We loved Sal from the moment we first spoke. He listened to all of our fears in terms of having a "smooth" same-sex reception that did away with the traditional roles of a "groom". He made us feel completely welcome in every step of the process. He stayed in constant contact with us via email and telephone letting us know where we were at in terms of the timeline and what steps still needed to be completed for our day to be a success. And what a success it was! My family loves Doo Wop and my wife's family loves rock. Blending those two genres of music was not an easy task but Sal made it happen! All of our guests were on the dance floor at some point throughout the night (most were there the entire night). My mother-in-law (who generally prefers a live-band over a DJ) told me how impressed she was with his performance. Everyone enjoyed themselves and he definitely put on a great party. My wife and I were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling the need to pump everyone up. In addition to the typical DJ services Sal provided us with, he also gave us a wedding CD filled with special songs we requested as well as photo CD filled with highlights of the evening. He went above and beyond what was agreed to. He also sent clips of music for us to review and was able to cut out parts of songs we didn't want played. I absolutely recommend using him at all of your upcoming special events!

AMAZING!!! Sal Fusco was awesome!! People were dancing from beginning to end! Even my 86 year old Grandfather, who complains about the noise level of everything, was impressed! At the end of the night we rec'd a disc with over 200 photos plus 2 Cd's with all the music from the ceremony, introductions, first dance, cake cutting, etc... I have been to two weddings where they were the DJ and they were so good, we didn't even look at anyone else. And they did not disappoint! My best advice I could give to another bride, is to LISTEN to the DJ's! they do this for a living and know what works and what does not! everything went off without a hitch and Sal was the reason!!!

Jim was a pleasure to work with!! Having our wedding in Sturbridge, we thought it would be easier to find a vendor closer to our venue rather than home (Boston). We found After Hours DJ Entertainment in CT, where we drove down to meet Jim for the first time. He was very welcoming and picked up on our taste in music and style right away. As it came time to meet again Jim was very flexible and opted to meet us half way at the Publick House. He worked very closely with my husband leading up to the wedding and was very quick with getting back to us when any questions arose. It was easy to see why they were voted "The Knot best of wedding" the past few years as well as Bride's Choice Award in 2010!!!
We would strongly recommend Jim and his services to any couple planning their wedding. Opt for them to take pictures at the wedding as well as your photographer, as it was great to have some pictures of our wedding within 48 hours!!!
Regards,
Erin & Mike G.

After Hours Dj Entertainment was the best choice that my husband and I chose for our reception. They are all great people working together and when I had a question, I just e-mailed them and they responded back real quickly. I would highly recommend them if you are having your reception in CT.

After Hours DJ is the epitome of a quality DJ ensemble. Their services are reasonably priced, they met our expectations (and then some) and they are fun to be around. Bert was the officiant at our ceremony and he did a superb job with the readings we arranged. He worked in some personal touches after asking us if it was OK, and we were thrilled. The music for the entire wedding was flawless, from the prelude, the entire ceremony, first dance, and the reception. We would not change a thing!

I would recommend After Hours DJ to anyone and everyone. I chose them because of their outstanding reviews and couldn't have been happier. I had Sal and Sabrina - and they not only did the music perfectly, but they also were there to help us with the small things you forget about (like how to bustle my dress). They gave us candid photos of the night and cds of all our special music at the end of the wedding as well - words can't express how much I loved their work and would recommend them to any bride and groom. Sal was also excellent leading up to the wedding responding quickly and clearly to all of my frantic last minute emails!

Jim Casso and his Assistant worked wonders for my wedding this year, on August 27th, 2011! (Even through Hurricane Irene!) The service this company provides is beyond anything you could hope for. Aside from meeting our musical needs and preferences, Jim served as a complete wedding coordinator, managing the reception itinerary and all of the vendors involved. We couldn't have been happier with our day, and so much of that was thanks to Jim Casso and After Hours DJ Entertainment!! Thanks again, Jim!

Pete & JR are absolutely amazing. Pete was our JP and was amazing! I could not have asked for a better ceremony! For the reception, they really got the party started~ Everyone was dancing, and I LOVED the conga line! They also did a great job with giving away the centerpieces! After Hours was the BEST decision I made (other than marrying my best friend)! They will truly make your wedding day special and you will have a great party if you choose them. I also used afterhours for the photobooth! It was a giant success!! All of my guests loved it and it was a great favor! thanks for everything you did for us Pete, JR, Jen, and Sabrina. My wedding day was the best day of my life!!

A Recommendation From a Recommendation After Hours was recommended by one of my bridesmaids who used them at her wedding. We met with Bert once, never saw another DJ, and just knew this was the company to make our Special Day THAT much more special. What can I say about the guys from After Hours? Bert married my Husband & I. He did a wonderful job with the music, the ceremony, and the PICTURES!!!!!!!!!! The casual candid shots they took throughout the wedding & reception are some of the best pictures I've ever seen of us and some of the most beautiful pictures I've seen EVER, period. The music was perfect, just what I asked for, and they made my reception a lot of fun for everyone. I have quite a few friends getting married, in fact my Husband is a Best Man in one of them and we have recommended After Hours to EVERYONE. One of the BEST shots of my wedding party was of everyone wearing sunglasses which Bert & Vinnie brought with them. If you're getting married, and you want a fun reception, you want beautiful candids to co-inside with your formal photos, you want a JP who understands you and respects your wishes for your Special Day, this is the DJ service for you. I would hire them all over again in a heartbeat. NO REGRETS! THEY WERE WONDERFUL!!!!!!! And as an added bonus, they took video of My Husband & I singing to each other during our first dance. What a wonderful moment to have on film. <3 THANK YOU BERT!!! THANK YOU VINNIE!!!! You both did an amazing job! If I ever have another special event (anniversary maybe) and we need a DJ service, I've got you on speed dial. <3 Mrs. Stacy Relation Married 8~14~11

After Hours is a great deal! There are so many choices and options for you to choose from!
Sal and Sabrina were excellent!
Sal was very attentive during the planning process and at the reception. He prepped us for exactly what was going to happen and when (intros, dances, cake cutting).
Sabrina snapped about 100 photos during the reception which were all made available online and to us and our guests!
At the end of the night, Sal gave us 2 CDs of our first dance song, parent songs, cake cutting songs, and finale songs. He also gave us a CD with the 100 photos they had taken.
One of my bridesmaids is getting married next year and was so impressed, she is going to use him too!!
Thanks Sal and Sabrina! We had a blast!

We had Jim for our wedding. He did an incredible job making sure that everything ran smoothly and was exactly what we wanted. He did an amazing job teaming up with our other wedding vendors to keep everything running on time!
Our one goal for the wedding was for people to dance and have fun! Mission accomplished! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a fantastic time! I would recommend Jim to anyone!
Unfortunately, we had a situation where a VERY intoxicated member of our bridal party wanted to give and impromptu speech and (after being told she could not) grabbed the microphone to give one anyway! Luckily, Jim was able to very swiftly, STEALTHY, and professionally get the microphone back before a speech happened, turned up the music and was in completely control the situation. It is one of those potentially disastrous things that you never think will happen at YOUR wedding (doesn't that only happen in movies?), and it was really great to have a DJ that was so aware of what was happening and able to insure there were no "scenes" created!
Thanks again! We had a GREAT time.

I have to echo all of the postive comments that have been said so far. After Hours goes above and beyond to make your day special. We had Pete and JR...and they were incredible. These guys probably do three weddings a weekend but you would never know with the personal attention they give you. Pete worked hard to make a special entrance song for me, and kept it a surprise from my husband. He walked us through what to expect during the day (about a week beforehand) and was patient and caring with any questions/concerns we had. Between my venue and Pete and JR, my husband and I had nothing to worry about the day of our wedding. Pete traveled a distance to do the music for our ceremony (RI) and then back to CT to set up cocktail music outside and the regular music inside for the reception. All the while they were taking pictures that captured every moment of the day. The one thing I will say is trust them with the music. I was trying to micromanage and in the end Pete and JR kept the dance floor going...it was packed all night and people still comment on the wonderful time they had. I really can't say enough about these guys. They are top notch.....don't let them get away. I recommend them without hesitation!

We hired AfterHours DJ because we were told they are the best. We were lucky and were paired with Bert and Vinnie.
The processed started communicating with Sal who was amazingly responsive to all calls and e-mails. In all the confusion of planning a wedding we even forgot to pay our second payment on time. I made a frantic call to Sal a week later thinking that they canceled my booking. Fat chance. After calming me down he assured me that it wasn't a problem and we put the check in the mail the next day.
We were planning our wedding from Nebraska and weren't able to meet in person with Bert until 2 days before the event. Bert fit himself into our busy schedule. I was planning on doing a voice over for my father for our father daughter dance. We recorded my snippet and Bert worked on it all night to make sure it was perfect. We got an e-mail from him around midnight and my husband said "I guess that's why they call themselves after hours dj."
At the actual event everything ran smoothly. We wanted a little bit of guidance from the mc and they did such a fun job of giving away the centerpieces and making all the transitions happen smoothly.
Not only was the music, music that we love but Bert made sure it was always music that was easy and fun to dance to and that all generations would enjoy.
I couldn't have been happier with their services. The night of the event were photos and videos posted online for me and my guests to see. We were given a few copies of my voice over to give to my parents and a disc of the important songs we danced to or played during the reception.
Amazing service all around.
