“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 & 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 & they were onboard with the new date & wanted to know if they could help in any way. This just shows that they treat their clients well, & have the best attitudes. After the wedding, many of our guests told us they were the best band they heard at a wedding & could not stop talking about how great the music & vibe was. Everyone was dancing the whole night! If you’re thinking about hiring a band for your wedding, you HAVE to hire them.”

~Julia D. (Bride. 2021.)

“Thank you for being so great at our ‘Rock the Dock’ event – we all had SUCH a good time, and your band was fantastic! Thank you for an amazing performance that truly ROCKED and thank you for sharing your musical talents with us!”

~Kara R. (Regional Marketing Manager for Noble House Hotels & Resorts. 2022.)

“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, & 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, & they won’t want to anyway! Their song choices were perfect! I give them a 10 out of 10!”

~Laura N. (Mother of the Bride. 2018.)

“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, Tristin is really professional and easy to work with. 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.”

~Emily W. (Bride. 2022.)

“We hired The Afterparty for a surprise birthday bash and they did not disappoint! All of our guests went out of their way to say how great The Afterparty band was. They brought great music, energy, and fun to the party. We had 7 pieces and they sounded great. They adjusted the sound to our venue so that it was not too loud and was well balanced. They were all set up, and ready to go for the party on time. From the very first moment I reached out to the band, they were a pleasure to work with and very professional. I worked mostly with Tristin and she made it easy to make the deposit, sign and return the contract, and pay the balance. 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!”

~Leslie L. (Party Panner. 2022.)

“I was so lucky to see The Afterparty perform on Sunday at the Jet Blast event. I have to tell you they made the night complete! I was feeling a little down because the Blue Angels didn’t board their jets near the Museum, however, being able to experience the band made it all worthwhile! They are the best I’ve heard – their music selection was amazing, and everything about them stood out! They’re personable, fun, and they sounded sooooo good! They played something for everyone and every musical taste. We were all singing at the top of our lungs – it was a real blast! I hope they come back! I will come back if they do! Best regards,”

~Angie B. (Guest. 2022.)

“Tristin and The Afterparty simply blew everyone away 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. They really made the party special and fun! They were great in the planning stage too, 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 move them to the top of your priority list! My feet are sore from dancing, but my heart is full!”

~Pete B. (Party Planner. 2022.)

“Absolutely Fantastic Band! The Afterparty band was the perfect choice for our wedding! They were great to work with & 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 & 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 & special occasions!”

~Brittany H. (Bride. 2016.)

“Best wedding band EVER! I seriously cannot encapsulate how AWESOME this band is. We feel so lucky to have discovered The Afterparty! Tristin, Jeff & the band are just phenomenal. They’re the whole package: lively, talented, amazing musicians with charisma, setlist flexibility, complete professionalism, & great mixes to keep the music flowing! We even had Tristin as our MC, & had her sing with our string trio during the ceremony. So many people told me she made them cry with her rendition of “At Last” & “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 & they had the dance floor going all night, one favorite rolling into the next! Finding a wedding band can be exhausting. Book them now & you’ll be thanking yourself forever afterward like we are! :)”

~Callie N. (Bride. 2019.)

“To anyone looking for a great band to entertain at your event, I highly recommend The Afterparty! They performed at our YMCA of the Palouse Dinner Gala & Auction Fundraiser & were the headliners for the evening. They did a fabulous job & kept the dance floor full throughout the evening. They had a great song selection & 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 & openly communicated expectations & needs prior to the event & were very accommodating to our needs as well. Since the event, I have had numerous guests come to me & compliment how great the band was & how much fun they had that evening. Thank you Afterparty for helping make our 11th Annual Keys to Success event a success!”

~Josh P. (Director of Programs, YMCA. 2019.)

“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!”

~Gianna M. (Bride. 2022.)

“I’ve been booking The Afterparty for an annual large-scale event (many thousands of party-goers & audience members) for a number of years now, & I’ve always been impressed by their professionalism, musicianship, enthusiasm, & ability to energize a crowd. They are also very flexible & 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, & makes for a very memorable experience. Their pre-event communication is top-notch, as well!”

~Cale W. (Events Coordinator, Flight Museum. 2019.)

“The band is a great entertainment choice – it is such a polished group: amazing vocals & instrumentals; fun/upbeat playlist which seamlessly melds “oldies” & current songs for listening &/or dancing; frequent costume changes that perfectly reflect songs played; & an engaging ensemble who create an interactive experience for the audience. Everyone around us enjoyed the evening as much as we did. We will be returning if The Afterparty is playing.”

~Lisa & Dave S. (Patrons, Ilani Casino. 2019.)

“These guys have great sound, great love for music, & great pride in their profession. The Afterparty is one of those rare groups that is equally wonderful to work with & dance to. From my first interaction with them they exuded authentic enthusiasm, & went the extra mile to understand our unique event & venue needs so they could craft the perfect set to suit our audience. They made it look so easy, & you could tell they enjoyed every minute of it…& they weren’t the only ones! They had people in our audience from five to 95 dancing & singing along. I loved working with them & would recommend them to anyone looking for a talented & professional party band!”

~Lacey P. (Bride. 2014.)

“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 them 10 stars!”

~Lola F. (MOB. 2022.)

“The Afterparty band were wonderful to work with, and we couldn’t be happier with their performance! We all highly recommend them!”

~LeAnne S. (Corporate event planner, Bellevue Club. 2016.)

“They were outstanding! Every time! Not only have their performances been great, but they are always flexible and understanding…The live part of our auctions have run a little long, and they just always roll with it. We’ve continually set all-time records for our events with them! We are hiring them again and again without a doubt!”

~Jon Evans (Boys & Girls Club Executive, Private charity auction hosted by Emmy-award winning local celeb, John Curley. 2018.)

“My wife & I booked The Afterparty Band for our wedding at Nature Bridge in the Olympic National Park & would recommend them to anyone thinking about having a live band at their wedding. A live band creates such a positive vibe to a wedding & their set delivered on all accounts. Great music for people of different ages to dance to & very accommodating beforehand about agreeing styles of music. Jeff was very professional from our initial inquiry & a pleasure to work with. It was reassuring not to have to worry about the music beforehand because he was on top of all the details. It sounds cliche but you seriously won’t regret choosing The Afterparty Band!”

~Paul W. (Groom. 2017.)

“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 more upcoming events.”

~Shernelle M. (Event Planner for the Ritz-Carlton. 2022.)

“The Afterparty was wonderful to have at our wedding, from start to finish they didn’t disappoint. I can confirm all of the amazing reviews they have all over their platforms. They were 10/10. I LOVE how professional they were handling our wants & executing our vision for the wedding. I loved their input & professionalism in taking care of everything. I would love to hire them again for other parties my family will have in the future. Thank you again, Tristin and The Afterparty Band to be there on our wedding day! It was the wedding that we have been dreaming of! Everyone was dancing & having fun the entire time!”

~Safira J. (Bride. 2021.)

“We hired The Afterparty Band to play at our Halloween party & 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 times with some people never leaving it. I heard so many amazing things from our guests about their experience. The Afterparty Band absolutely made our event a success! They even dressed in costumes & made multiple costume changes which added to the event’s fun atmosphere.

Prior to the event, I was also extremely impressed with their professionalism & communication skills. We had some staffing changes & 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 & did a great job communicating what they needed.”

~Joanna M. (Community Center Supervisor Marysville Opera House. 2019.)

“We recently hired The Afterparty Band to play at a socially-distanced backyard party & they truly exceeded our expectations.  They are a great band with amazing musicianship & professionalism.  The band consultant Tristin was very easy to work with & provided many flexible options for our occasion. She was also quick to respond to any questions that we had & 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 & their set up/tear down was very quick & 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 & 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 & talk about for a long time!  We would highly recommend The Afterparty to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, & experienced band that plays high energy & entertaining music for their wedding or event- you will be guaranteed an incredibly fun & memorable experience!”

~Freddy and Lisa Haase (Socially Distanced Backyard Party. 2020.)

“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!!!”

~Bailey A. (Bride. 2021.)

“The Afterparty Band is Awesome!!! Our client was soooooo happy with them!!!!! They took all these last-minute requests and they made it all be an amazing night for them. We look forward to booking them more! They are on the top of my list when we get band requests.”

~Heidi Kimsey (Event Planner. West Coast Entertainment. 2022)

“We’re so glad we hired The Afterparty to perform at our wedding! Right from the start, my husband & I knew we wanted something more personal than a typical DJ/dance party at our wedding. We started searching for local wedding bands & came across The Afterparty online. After reading all the great reviews & 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. & weddings were being postponed/canceled left & right. Even though our wedding date was August 2021, my husband & I still decided to be conservative & to scale down our wedding to an elopement. We were worried that we’d lose our deposit w/The Afterparty, but they were so flexible & gracious that they proposed a new plan which was to have the duo perform at our elopement instead of the entire band & didn’t charge us anything extra beyond the deposit. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly! Tristin & Jeff showed up on time w/all the audio equipment in the world you can think of. They performed both my walk down the aisle song & our first dance song beautifully. They also acted as our DJ when they weren’t performing & 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, & great w/communication. We can’t recommend them enough!”

~Katherine T. (Bride. 2021.)

“Tristin, The Afterparty Band was just great! Everyone had a blast! I will definitely keep you guys in mind for the future. I even have a member that wants to book an event with you guys next year!”

~Regan C. (Seattle Golf Club. 2022)

“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!'”

~Molle B. (Harbor Pacific & Pepsi Company Party. 2021.)

“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.”

~Andrea P. (Bride. 2021.)

“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!”

~Cindy R. (Birthday Girl. 2021.)

“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 learned 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 inquiries 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 are what you are after!!”
