“My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.”

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Couldn’t recommend this DJ more. Between the communication before the wedding and the energy and vibe he brought - Lucas is the best! My husband and I are dancers so we were very particular about our music and Lucas was our perfect match. He kept the dance floor full all night and so many of our guests asked for his info so they could recommend him to friends! We had friends who hired a different saxophonist to play over their DJ to mimic our wedding and it didn’t compare. If you want a fun wedding - Lucas is your man!”

The night started with some classics to get the crowd on the dance floor and keep them there and he just kept the bangers going from there. Smack was very interactive with the crowd, many of my guests complimented how fun he was and he was always willing to take requests.

With more than 25 years of actual DJ experience, you won’t find a more accomplished, skilled and entertaining person to help you with your wedding. Music has been in my life from an early age. At 8 years old, I would pretend to DJ on the radio using my parents’ Beach Boys records and a wooden spoon for a mic. At 17, I started DJing on the radio and I was hooked! In college I majored in communication and performing arts, where I honed my improvisation and listening skills to better connect with people and smoothly adjust to every situation.

“John was amazing. From our first meeting to our private final dance, John made our wedding day so special. He read the crowd during the dance and kept it packed all night. We had so many people and even other vendors, tell us that he was one of the best DJs they have seen! We danced the night away with all of our friends on the dance floor just like we wanted. You will not regret hiring John to be a part of your big day. I truly believe that the DJ sets the tone for the whole wedding and John does an amazing job.”

We had them for 3 hours and the dance floor was packed for 3 hours. They were so much fun and SO talented!!! It was the best party and they were a huge reason behind it! I would recommend them to anyone for their wedding or any other occasion they are looking to add spice and energy too. If we ever host another event where music is needed I would book them in a heartbeat”

After Hours is a collective of elite musicians who provide top-tier entertainment for weddings, corporate events, and special occasions. With members holding national TV credits (The Voice, American Idol, La Voz, Good Morning America, Telemundo), amassing millions of streams, and attending the country's best conservatories, they bring world-class talent to every performance.

“We hired them for our wedding in St. Augustine and other than marrying my husband- they were the BEST part of OUR wedding! They were so incredibly easy to work with and THE TALENT! The talent of this group of people is beyond anything you will see anywhere in the world! I cannot say that enough times! I originally saw them playing while I was on a trip a few months before my wedding and just decided right then I needed them to be a part of the experience because they were so amazingly good. They have a diverse selection of music to work with and will cater to whatever you have envisioned for your event. I sing in a band where I live and they allowed me to get up and sing with them, which was also a fun part of the experience. I feel like it’s hard to come across people as easy to work with, professional, and absolutely amazing but these folks checked all the boxes and more!”
