About
The Afterparty is a true party show band! With entertaining and fun choreography, costumes and props, audience interactions, tight harmonies, and seamless non-stop music sets, we bring an unforgettable spark to every performance! If you choose us for your wedding or special event, you will get a well–rehearsed and thoroughly polished show. We have the kind of chemistry you won’t get from the franchise consortium agency bands that throw together random players who don’t perform together regularly. Just as importantly, Jeff and I are not only the band owners, but are also full-time players in the band. By working one on one with our clients at every step, we personally ensure that every detail is handled properly and thoroughly, and will tailor our performance to meet the specific needs of your wedding or special event from the first email to the final encore number of the night! We take pride in our ability to provide top-of-the-line entertainment at an exceptional value. Our performances involve a wide reaching inventory of popular songs engaging both young and old that will have you thinking the original artist is there, whilst also incorporating our own individuality and musical creativity. We always go above and beyond to fulfill our clients needs, from providing the perfect ceremony or cocktail hour music to transforming your event into an unforgettable experience!

What an amazing duo! Tristin Rupp and Jeff 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 for more upcoming events.

The afterparty band was incredible and exceeded all of our expectations. From the initial meeting, we could already sense their attention to detail and wanting to provide us with the wedding entertainment we dreamed of having for our special day.
From day one Tristin, worked with us and provided us with the smoothest planning process. Our wedding was a destination wedding and several accommodations had to be made, but Tristin made the process simple and easy.
We wanted a band that would be interactive, engaging, and entertaining for a night to remember. This bands provides all that and more. They have several different costume changes, great sound and entertaining engagement throughout the night. They have choreographed songs and get into the crowd engaging with all the guests. They kept all of our guests on the dance floor all night begging for an encore as they ended. Our guests were even chanting “best band ever”.
To this day the band is something guests have highlighted from our wedding when they speak of memories from it. I cannot express how amazing they were to work with. Tristin makes sure to take any planning and stress completely off your plate.
Overall, the band is truly incredible and will provide the best level of entertainment you will want from a live band at your wedding. They have a great song list and amazing mashups they perform. We are so incredibly happy we chose them for our special day and can’t thank them enough for providing such incredible memories for us and our guests

The Afterparty band is absolutely incredible. From the moment we reached out to them, Tristin was so responsive and kind. She and Jeff met us in person to tour the venue. They honestly helped us with a lot of decisions about our wedding, not even related to the music! They are a wealth of wedding-related knowledge.
They truly go above and beyond for you. They learned multiple songs for us that sounded so, SO amazing. They cater the whole experience to what you want. They actually came to our rescue the day before our wedding. We had to unexpectedly move our ceremony outside and they let us use their extra PA system and their sound person stuck around the whole ceremony. We were so worried about the acoustics outside, but everything sounded perfect.
I can't even begin to explain how amazing they were performing at our wedding. The Afterparty band is not just a band, it's a whole performance. Our guests were completely blown away. To this day, the one thing people keep asking us is "Who was that band??? They were incredible!" I have a friend getting married in Hawaii next year and she came up to me asking how she can fly the Afterparty to Hawaii for her wedding. Another highlight from our wedding was when our friend requested the song "Shout." We had not requested this song in advance and the Afterparty Band wasn't prepared to play it. They ended up playing it and sounded amazing and it was such a special experience for everyone.
From start to finish, working with the Afterparty band is all around amazing. Without hesitation, hire them for your wedding or party before they get so famous their schedule will be fully booked!!!!"

The Afterparty Band was without a doubt, the highlight of our wedding night! I’d like to think my gorgeous reception dress or our festive first dances stole the show but no… the APB was the wedding GOAT!
We wanted a band that kept the party vibe going all night long - we wanted EVERYONE on the dance floor the entire night. And damn, they delivered! The APB played 2 LONG sets and blew everyone away with their high energy dancing, props, and incredible voices.
We had guests ages 15-95 and EVERYONE was dancing, singing and laughing the night away. The combination of danceable oldies with some top 40 flare was on point and far exceeded our expectations.
Working with the APB was a breeze thanks to their professionalism, seamless processes, and kindness. I will be recommending them to all future friends planning weddings and will certainly be hiring them for future parties (hello 35th birthday party!!). We love The After Party Band!

Thanks again for literally the best weekend of our lives! We love you all so much!

“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!”
