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. The way they interacted with the crowd was so much fun. Everyone was on the dance floor from the start and stayed there all night.": Chris and Danielle 5/27/18 wedding, Burlington Plantation, Charles City, VA

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 packed-people 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!! Paris Rogers Sent from my iPhone

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!! Stevey

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.

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.

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. The beautiful soloist sounded like heavens top angel, such a delight. My clients and I will remember forever! Looking forward to the next fabulous affair! - Lisa Via WeddingWire

The band amazing! Highly professional and energetic. I love love love the dancing DJ too! - Dawn Via WeddingWire

This band was the greatest band I have ever had for my wedding. I would love to have them again at my anniversary. I loved this band. They was great about making my night amazing for not just me but all our guests. I am hooked now, i will never have another band play for me other than APX. - Jack Via WeddingWire

Absolutely loved them. The band /DJ combo is great and so rare. Kept the crowd dancing the entire night! - Taira Via WeddingWire

The band was great! I highly recommend them for any classy event you are planning. Erika, the vocalist, has a lovely voice. The band is extremely talented. They are willing to play anything that you request of them. Truly a class act! - Linda Via WeddingWire

They was so nice to me and my parents I loved just knowing the a band this great can make a miracle happen for the greatest parents in the world thank you for the night of their lives. - Bethel Via WeddingWire

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!! - Michael Via WeddingWire

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! - Michelle Via WeddingWire

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! - Tiffany Via WeddingWire

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! - Katie Via WeddingWire

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 father-in-law ;) ), 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!!! - Heather Via WeddingWire

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!! - Carolyn Via WeddingWire

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!!! - Laura Via WeddingWire

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!!! Via WeddingWire

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! - April Via WeddingWire

After Party Experience really rocked the house! My wife and I were expecting an awesome show when we hired them to perform at our wedding, but they completely surpassed our expectations! I would definitely recommend them for turning any event into a grand time! - Najur Via WeddingWire

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 year-old daughter to my 80 year-old 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! - Ashley Via WeddingWire

Wow!!! My wife and I were completely BLOWN AWAY by this band and DJ! By far the BEST decision we've ever made, besides spending the rest of our lives together! What amazed me was how versatile they were with their song selections. They played everything from rock to Latin music!! Our wedding reception turned out to be such a blast because of them!! Thank you guys so much! - Tom Via WeddingWire

I just wanted to leave a review on how much I enjoyed this band at my wedding!! They attended to everyone one of my requests and handled everything professional. I loved the DJ aspect also, a different twist. I would suggest this band to anyone for high energy live entertainment!! Thanks guys!! - Alexander Via WeddingWire

As the father of the bride I found this band to be absolutely incredible, it surpassed my expectations. My daughter had a great time and everyone felt like they could have danced all night! The lead vocalist reminded us of Tina Turner with her boundless energy. - James Via WeddingWire

APX was beyond fabulous for our wedding! We are so grateful and have lovely memories and so much fun!! I loved working with the band leaders Daniel & Erika.

I can't recommend them enough for future couples!! APX can be relied on to keep you the party going all night!! :-D - Diane Via WeddingWire

I had an incredible experience working with the After Party Experience for my wedding this last summer. My wife (still getting used to that) and I thoroughly enjoyed having them help make our special day close to perfect. Via WeddingWire

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. - Leigh Ann Via WeddingWire

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 band-dj 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. Via WeddingWire

If you are looking for a band that is super energetic, interactive, and will have your guests on the dance floor then APX is the perfect band for you. We loved them! - Zach Via WeddingWire

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!!! - Barbara Via WeddingWire

My advice? Just book them!!!!!!!! Your dance floor will NEVER be empty! - Brittany Via WeddingWire

Daniel and APX had our guests on their feet the entire night! The band did not take one break during the reception and made our night the most memorable experience of our lives! We couldn't have asked for better people and entertainment! - Natalie Via WeddingWire

The After Party Experience was incredible! They were so energetic and engaging. Their song selections were so good, they literally were nonstop for hours. All of my guests had so much fun and kept asking me where the band was from. Everyone was so impressed by their talent. They really made the night special. I had such a great time working with them, they were professional and took into account all my requests. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a high energy, talented band that will keep your guests dancing all night. I feel like this review does not even do them justice. They were amazing! - Tanya Via WeddingWire

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! - Courtney Via Weddingwire
