The After 5 difference

Funk, soul, R&B, jazz, swing and pop from the '70s to today, sung in five languages and chosen with taste.

The perfect fit for any occasion.
From dinner jazz to a packed dance floor — we shape the repertoire, energy and line-up around your event.
- 04
Professional from start to finish.
Experienced musicians who talk to your guests in Estonian, English or Russian, with careful arrangements and polished sound.
- 05
Everything taken care of.
Sound, lighting, a sound engineer and a DJ if you need one — one team for the whole evening's music.
Tartu wedding receptions begin long before the first dance — the opening 30 minutes, while guests find their seats and read the table cards, set the emotional temperature for everything that follows. After 5 opens every first set with a calibrated progression: low-key Soul and Jazz standards that fill a room without demanding attention, then a gradual push toward Funk as the last arrivals settle in. Six musicians, two full sets, a catalogue that spans five genres — by the time the tempo lifts, the crowd has already been primed. Vanemuise or an old manor house, the acoustics shift, but the arc stays the same: make the room feel alive before a single guest steps onto the floor.
What to Expect
A typical wedding with After 5 lasts 5–7 hours. Our band plays 3 sets of live music, delivering romantic melodies and dance-floor hits. Between sets, a DJ keeps the energy going so the dance floor never empties. We tailor the program to your event's schedule — from relaxed background music to an energetic party.
