Review by Mary T.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 27, 2013•From New Orleans, LA
After8 was the best wedding band I could have asked for. They were professional, nice, and best of all- awesome at playing live music. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a band to play at their reception!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on February 27, 2012•From New Orleans, LA
I enjoyed working with Russ and his band. He is the consummate professional and was very mindful of our needs. I have received numerous positive comments from people attending the reception. All have said that the band was excellent and made the party something special. I highly recommend After 8 to anyone looking for a band for any festive occasion.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on January 29, 2011•From New Orleans, LA
The band was very accommodating for our event.They travelled an hour to perform & were timely with their setup and takedown, according to our wedding coordinator. The main complaint I have regarding their professionalism is related to their handling of the payment. They requested cash at the reception,which is not a problem. However, when the cash was delivered to them, the receiving member opened the envelope in front of the payor and counted the cash.I understand there are people in the world who will try to cheat a performer, but there are better ways to handle this.The payor was extremely offended by this.Aside from this mishap, I am pleased to have used After 8.
After8:
Colleen. After8 had a wonderful time performing for your daughter's wedding and we wsh them the best of luck in their new life together. I am very sorry that you feel it was unprofessional for us to count the money at the wedding in front of your husband. It is a standard business practice in this and any industry though. We do this to protect ourselves but also to protect the client. This way both parties can agree that the correct amount of cash has been received.Awards & Badges
