Beat Train Productions

Seth Isaacs and Beat Train helped us celebrate a surprise 50^th birthday party. He was a true professional and very easy and fun to work with! Seth is now my go to guy for any future events or recommendations to friends!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nick Ferrington. Ours is a second marriage, and my adult daughter found Beat Train on Unilocal.Based on their reviews, and their website which included some sample playlists, we booked with them without looking elsewhere. Nick exceeded expectations in every way! He took time to get to know us on the phone, and offered to meet with us ahead of the wedding. We had some very specific requests relating to both a large age range (2 to 90+), and a vast range of particular musical interests. He walked us through the questionnaire we completed, and really listened without imposing his own agenda. Being an older couple, we strayed from tradition, and Nick made every effort to accommodate us. He took time to meet everyone in the wedding party and know how they would like to be introduced. He kindly, sincerely and happily interacted with young relatives, including a sibling with special needs, and skillfully wove in requests to the playlist. Our dance floor was full from the very first note until the we were told that it was time to leave… we could have all continued for hours! Guests commented on what a great DJ we had, and asked for the playlist. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job. Thank you, Nick!

We had met with two DJs (Seth from Beat Train and someone with another company) when we were deciding who to choose for our wedding. Judging from Seth’s bio on the Beat Train website as well as his personal facebook page, he has a genuine love of music. The other company, however, seemed a bit cookie-​cutter. Needless to say we chose to work with Seth.
Seth was one of the easiest «vendors» we worked with. He was available for meetings, prompt with email responses, and happy to do as we asked (and provide guidance) with music selections for our reception. I wanted to include lots of 80s/​90s songs in rapid succession and Seth made the transitions seamlessly. Our guests (especially the younger generation) had a great time, everyone was sore for days! Several people said they’d never danced so hard. It was a pleasure to work with Seth!

We had an amazing experience with Beat Train for our wedding in June 2015. After meeting other DJs, they truly stood out. They were quick to respond, reasonably priced and professional — it’s clear they hold themselves to a high standard.
We researched all the DJs they had available and were able to have a meet and greet with Spencer — this gave us insight into his style so we felt even more comfortable booking him. Since we booked pretty far in advance (about a year), we had sporatic contact for a while (which we knew beforehand), and then about 2 months out from the big day. Spencer sent us a form to fill out, which thoroughly assessed all our music taste and preferences, as well as the agenda for the day of the wedding and who else he may need to connect with. He was awesome about coordinating with our Wedding Day coordinator and photographer to ensure they were all on the same page. About a week or two before the wedding, we met again in person to do a run-​through of the day and evening. I cannot explain in enough detail the thoughtfulness that went into our music — Spencer truly listened to what we asked for and made it perfect. We still have guests asking about our DJ and raving about the music from the entire day — it’s literally the first thing people remember and speak about. He read the crowd perfectly, knowing when to play something new, old, low key, etc. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation to use Beat Train and Spencer for any event you can hire them for! Awesome experience.

DJ Seth Isaacs and Beat Train are hands down top notch!
As requested, Seth kept the dancefloor packed throughout the night, mixing favorites of all the various groups at our wedding. Seth’s a cool guy, and it shows. He knows how to spin a party!
If you’re still searching for a DJ for your event, look no further — DJ Seth Isaacs is your man!

Nick Ferrington was an outstanding DJ! Beat Train Productions was recommended to us by our venue, and we put off contacting them until the last minute (about a month before the wedding). During our initial consultation with them, we spoke with Elissa who recommended Nick Ferrington as the best choice for us based on what we were looking for. She was correct!
We had two phone calls with Nick during which we discussed our vision for the day. He had us fill out a survey that listed our Must Plays, Maybe Plays, and Do Not Plays. We had Nick do the music for our ceremony as well as our reception, and he did a perfect job. He followed our wish list exactly and really added a lot of fun to the day. We will definitely recommend both Nick and Beat Train Productions to our friends and family in the future.

We could not have been more happy with Greg as our wedding DJ. He was great about communication ahead of time and really listened to our requests/​preferences for our reception music. During the reception he kept the energy perfectly appropriate for cocktail hour, dinner, and then dancing afterwards. People are STILL complimenting the music from our wedding months after the fact. Greg made sure the dance floor was packed the entire night and did a great job reading the crowd and incorporating our style & requests into the mix. We would hire Beat Train — especially Greg — again in a heartbeat!!!

Like many reviewers, we chose Beat Train because of the promise of great music, a rockin dance floor and no «wedding DJ» shenanigans. DJ Greg Lanzillotta did not disappoint! Planning from out-​of-​town, we «met» over the phone initially and had a Skype session a few weeks before the big day to discuss details. We’re not die-​hard music folks and just gave Greg some basic style guidelines (classical before the ceremony, jazz during dinner, and then pump up the dance floor) and a few key songs. For the ceremony, Greg had brought us a microphone to use but actually suggested we go without it as our space was small — I decided to trust his acoustic expertise and it worked perfectly. Throughout the night he took our «do not play» list seriously and served as master of ceremonies to make announcements for speeches, cake cutting, etc. I had so many guests exclaim «hey, that’s my favorite song!» whether it was some smooth background music or top hits, and the dance floor was packed until the end of the night. No cheesy games, just great music.

The music at our wedding was one of the most important decisions we had to make because our entire set up was about the dancing. Sam from Beat Train understood this and was the best. He has an amazing can-​do attitude, traveled to us for all meetings, answered emails/​texts/​calls promptly, etc.
I had multiple people come up to me after the wedding asking for our DJ information and telling us we had the best music and dance party ever. Highly, highly recommend.

Sam Turner Of beats was great at my wedding. He created a special first dance mix and so catered to the crowed and played a nice mix fo music that had everyone on there feet. Meet with him more then once adn was always eager to answer questions.

We wanted everyone dancing most of the event and Sam made it happen! Before the event he organized and listened to what we wanted and with all the different ages he executed perfectly! We will never forget the last song of the night with everyone dancing and a huge group hug on the dance floor!!! Thank you Sam!

DJ Seth is Amazing! When we first reached out to Beat Train, they recommended a few of their DJs for us to choose from after listening to what we were looking for. We decided to speak to Seth. After telling him we were looking for a mix of 2K pop, current pop and some Michael Jackson mixed him, he immediately knew what we were looking for. He send us a sample playlist within a few days.
On the day of the wedding, he was on top of everything. He made sure everyone was having a good time and played all the songs that I requested at the time that I wanted. We had so many people tell us what an amazing playlist we had.

My husband and I are both big fans of music and dancing. And we feel the DJ can make or break a wedding, which is why we looked very carefully for the right DJ for our big day.
We initially chose Beat Train Productions because of their emphasis on minimizing or eliminating the cheese factor and ensuring the DJ doesn’t impose his/​her personality on the wedding. After listening to his mixes, reading numerous reviews, and speaking with him over the phone, we opted to book DJ Seth Isaacs.
One of our top objectives for our wedding was to keep the dance floor packed, and Seth did not disappoint. The dancing was epic from start to finish with each song seamlessly flowing into the next. No one dared leave the dance floor for fear of missing out. Our friends and family are still talking about it, and calling it the best dance party they’ve ever been to.
Seth was quick to respond throughout the planning process and went out of his way to accommodate us, including a last minute request to provide recordings of our wedding toasts.
We highly recommend Seth and Beat Train Productions for your wedding or any occasion.

I can’t rave enough about Nick and Beat Train. From the first interactions we had with the Beat Train website to the last minute out on the dance floor, we couldn’t have asked for an easier, more stress-​free, and fun wedding DJ (he even sent us an adorable Christmas card!). Nick was so easy to communicate with and responded to my type-​A needs to start planning months too far in advance with ease and grace. We mostly communicated through email, but he made himself available to us for an in-​person meeting even with busy work schedules and accommodated our need to have the meeting in an inconvenient location for him. But best of all, we got a TON of compliments from our guests about our music. I only wish we could take some of the credit, but it all goes to Nick who took our short list of songs we would like to hear and songs we did not want played and somehow turned it into a cohesive and awesome dance party mix that had our guests dancing from the very first song to the encore. I’ve already told a few friends to use Nick as their DJ and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone who wants an awesome dance party and a great vendor.

I researched DJs for our wedding at the usual places and I have to say it was a tough decision. We didn’t want another wedding DJ and I have to say we didn’t get one with Sam Turner, which is awesome! From the moment we signed our contract with the company to the wedding night, the company and Sam were fantastic. They listened to our ideas and injected some suggestions as well. The night went so well that when Sam ended with the last song, the crowd started cheering, «one more song!,» until he played one more great song. If you can get him, you will not be disappointed! Months later, our friends still mention how good he was.

Joel from Beat Train did a great job with our wedding. First of all Beat Train’s planning document was really useful in helping us organize our thoughts for the wedding. Second of all, Joel did a great job taking our inspiration from the song list and creating a really great dance music list for the guests. All of our guests complimented us on how great the dance music was and the overall flow of the night.

We had an excellent experience with Seth. He started the process by getting in touch with us well ahead of the wedding, and we were able to exchange some ideas. We met in person a couple weeks prior to the wedding and he was very easy to work with.
On the wedding night, Seth was awesome. First, he solved a technical issue during cocktail hour to get the music going. Then, we decided on a last-​minute change to the wedding party introduction order: no problem, Seth made the adjustment quickly. When the dancing got going, Seth totally shined. He chose a great mix of songs that kept everyone on the dance floor. Some of our guests were dancing even though they hadn’t danced in years! We had several guests mention to us how incredible Seth was, including the best man who’s a DJ himself.
The wedding was beyond expectations and Seth played a big part in it. We strongly recommend hiring him.

We used beat train productions for our wedding on 11÷1÷2014 more specifically SETH!!! SETH was truly a professional and handled the entire situation with the utmost confidence and transparency. Seth was extremely methodical with his music selection and kept the crowd rocking the whole night… and with two very different families that was no easy task, Seth transitioned from song to song seamlessly. SETH is truly the best around… BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!

I loved working with our Beat Train DJ Sam Turner. He was super professional, took the time to really understand our preferences and followed through flawlessly. He showed up early to the venue, talked sound equipment with the venue coordinator beforehand, and everything went PERFECTLY day of.
He wasn’t cheesy (so important), queued all speeches easily, and really understood what people wanted to hear. We were going for a totally indie vibe, but a lot of the people didn’t know the music, Sam asked if he could play what people would want to hear, played 1 stevie wonder song, and BOOM dancefloor was full. He’s a wizard.
In short, beat train is amazing, do yourself a favor and hire them. Couldn’t have gone better. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend.

There were a LOT of things that went wrong at my wedding… I mean… a LOT. But the ONE thing I was 100% happy with (and got 2 389 472 984 792 compliments on) was our DJ Seth Isaacs.
I am seriously so ridiculously happy that we picked Beat Train and Seth to DJ our wedding. From his flawless mixing ability and seamless transitions to his vast music knowledge and careful selection of songs, all of our guests were FLOORED by the music at our wedding. Dancing was off the hiizzzoook. We had a Sunday wedding and a number of friends had to drive 4+ hours home that night to go to work the next morning – but stayed until the end of the wedding for the music alone.
This was definitely one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I can only give the highest of accolades.
Even my fiancé, who is a total music snob, absolutely loved him. (And he respected our 20+ song «do not play list» HAHA). It was fantastic.
