Any info on After Hours vs. Castle Entertainment? Artistic Images, Wedding Cinema?

Need info on After Hours Entertainment, Castle Entertainment, Artistic Images, and Wedding Cinema. Anyone have any experience with them? Went to see an After Hours showcase today but worried they may be too pricey.

We just got back from After Hours' showcase. They're really great! If you're planning to use an emcee, Phil is, hands down, the best one around.

I'm booked with After Hours - I don't know anything about the other's you listed.

After Hours is fantastic! We looked at 2 other DJ compaines before them and they were the only one's willing to work with us, in regard to cost, and we didn't have to sacrifice anything we wanted.

We got it all and more for an awesome price!

But other then that, Phil is just a well oiled machine. We just had our final meeting with him and he is SO easy to work with. Totally fun, loves his job and gets it. I have so much confidence that they will do a great job.

I've even reccomended him to 2 other friends for their weddings.

I was also at the After Hours showcase yesterday!!! Me and My sister were the silly ones during the kissing contest!!!

I LOVED them, and Phil is amazing....but i'm worried about their cost too. I looked through their little packet and things seemed a little steep. When you girls say that they will 'work with you', what exactly do you mean?

Thanks!

Ditto on Phil from afterhours! He has been great to work w/!

They will 'work w/ you' and try and lower the cost if you talk it out w/ them and discuss your budget!

Afterhours 100%. Check out their youtube videos. You get to see a great variety of their work and the different MC's and DJ's.

That showcase was seriously a blast lol, i never had so much fun at a stupid showcase!!!

I'm going to sit down with my FH and go through the Bravura and After hours pamphlets and prob set some days to go talk to them. I still want to talk to my house DJ as well....

OMG i think this is going to be a harder choice than the RH!

I met with Artistic Images. If you want generic cookie cutter wedding photos, he does take good photos. However he is EXTREMELY set in his ways, and will NOT accommodate anything other than his style.

I explained to him that I liked candid type shots, and that I wouldn't want many posed shots at all, and his response was

'Well I have to get my posed shots done, and after that I'll do as many candids as time will allow, but I have to get my shots' exact words.

I was extremely turned off by his personality.

We felt the same way. We got a good deal still but prob could've got him to come down in price.
