I've seen Grant play at various venues and can't recommend him highly enough! He's incredibly professional and thorough, tailoring his set and performance to the tone of the event and blending in seamlessly. He has a beautiful singing voice and creates a really impressive one man band effect using his looping setup to layer in all parts of the song live in front of you. It's pretty incredible to see how he builds the song real-time without any backing tracks or pre-recorded stuff. I would feel confident hiring him for anything from a small cocktail party to a full wedding reception. Grant is the best!

Jay absolutely made our wedding!! The dance floor was packed the entire time. He understood the vibes and read the room so well. Leading up to the day, Jay was super communicative — answering every question we had and keeping us on track to make sure every music detail was thought about. Plus, the app he provided for planning made song selection and special requests seamless, collaborative and super manageable! The DJ / instrumental fusion he offers brought the dance floor to the next level!

At Beat Train Productions, we are passionate about working by your side to co-create fresh, inspired, and totally amazing events.

Serving Boston, Brooklyn, Rhode Island, Maine and beyond.

Beat Train Productions is simply the best. Our families are very into music, so we knew we needed a fantastic DJ. Joel was AMAZING. With very little direction from us, he gave us the perfect balance of classic Spanish dancing musing (salsa, bachata, cha-cha), in the beginning, with the standard wedding music everyone loves (love shack, shout, etc.), with our music. The dance floor was packed all night long. We had several people comment on how incredible our music was, and how they had never seen a dance floor that packed all night long. We had a blast, and truly have Joel to thank for that. I would recommend him and Beat Train every single time. He was incredible!!

Our world class band performances create unforgettable moments of joy and memories and a dance floor filled with celebration.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let’s start with “WOW!” We had a music festival themed wedding with four bands so music was a critical piece of our wedding weekend and the standards were high. We interviewed over 20 bands from the NYC area and decided to go with Vitamin M after really vibing with their band leader, JJ. And boy are we glad we did! JJ worked with us to curate the perfect performance for us and our guests. He was able to balance dance songs and classics alongside some custom requests that went off the beaten path of most traditional weddings from the likes of The Band, Talking Heads and The Clash. He even helped us surprise our guests with a singing introduction of the bride and groom. He took time to get to know us and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This was not a cookie cutter wedding band performance. This is a group of truly talented professional musicians putting on a real show. Our guests and even our vendors are still telling us today, months later, that this was the best wedding band that they’ve ever seen. We are extremely happy with our decision to hire Vitamin M for our wedding. No diggity, no doubt.

  • Starts at $1,500

My love of music started in the back seat of my dads car as he took me to daycare, with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin On" on repeat. My love of music spans generations, cultures and genres, and has taken me all over the world, from England, Spain, St. Marteen, and Austria. My hope is that you allow me to curate a musical experience that will leave your guest talking about your wedding for years to come. As for me, I am a Brooklyn native, who during the pandemic was able leave corporate career to pursue my passion of music. My perspective, is to include and create, safe spaces for guests to feel young, and carefree - even if for a few moments.

If you think you are going to get a run of the mill Dj, who just stands behind the booth, look else where. Gregory IS THE PARTY, not only is he versatile with genres but also play songs from the 70's and 80's to current Pop and Afrobeats, truly his musical vocabulary is quite unmatched. Which is why we wanted him at our wedding. and he did not disappoint. At our wedding he danced bachata with guests, he sang with parents, he hosted a dance completion and, literally was the talk of the day for weeks to come. For us, we opted to get the largest package which included bringing not just 1 but 3 of his Dj colleagues, and 4 Speakers running music in three different spaces within the venue. Cocktail hour was a live Brooklyn Brunch Themed Set, with DJ Thematics Inside was a Jazz playlist for our older guest who wanted to stay and chat And an all party in the evening as he plays along side Dj Mastermind & Dj Blackout. All of which was a separate location from the ceremony space which had its own amplification. I have nothing else to say but 5 Stars across the board

Packed dance floor, non-stop party, every guest raving after the last song; if this is your vision, say hello to Mod Society! We are a Brooklyn based group of highly in-demand professional musicians that have been playing together since 2009. We have been established in the NY tri-state area as "a band for music lovers" and we proudly cater to clients who appreciate the difference between a good band an unforgettable musical experience.

HIRE MOD SOCIETY! You will not regret it!! From start to finish, everything about working with Mod Society was incredible. Firstly, Claudio is truly such a pleasure to work with- he is extremely responsive, organized, and kind! He made the entire process very easy and I could tell that he was genuinely invested in his clients. Secondly, the talent of the band is truly unbelievable. We had multiple different configurations of the band during our wedding- duo during the ceremony, jazz quartet for cocktail hour, part of the band during dinner, and then the full 9 piece band during the dancing. At every point in the day, they were amazing! The full band played the perfect set list and with such incredible energy that pretty much every guest was on the dance floor jumping up and down and dancing the night away. It was truly the most epic wedding party thanks to Mod Society! We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard and some have already told us they they want to book Mod Society for their own weddings/events! I can't say enough wonderful things about Mod Society and would highly recommend them for any wedding!

Their unconventional group has mastered the art of creating a great dance party that keeps guests on the dance floor all night and then humming the songs the next day!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with The Hook Club. Our amazing planner, Greenhouse Events, recommended THC, and we were sold immediately after meeting with Dan. He is super relaxed, nice, and so knowledgable. Dan and THC team made planning super easy for us. They took time to hear about our hopes and helped recommend different band sizes for us. We hadn’t heard of a DJ band before, but loved the idea of some live music with the versatility to play all sorts of music, but our venue wasn’t very big and we also didn’t want to break the bank and hire a huge band. We chose the 4 piece DJ band with singer, sax, drums, and DJ. We knew we LOVED the sax, so we also had the sax play for cocktail hour (shout out to Elijah, who was amazing), and it was one of the best parts of the night. For planning music, they sent out a very detailed and thorough spreadsheet with more songs than one could imagine, and we could rate ones we liked the most, choose ones we definitely wanted or didn't, and choose specific songs for important moments. We met a couple times to review music choices as well. One of our biggest fears with a DJ was that they'd talk too much and be a little annoying, but Dan did a great job as MC, and was very low-key like we asked but announced important moments clearly. Dan and all the musicians had such great energy and got everyone on the dance floor. Our vocalist, Christen, was also amazing — her voice was spectacular, and she was such an amazing performer and got everyone involved in the music and dancing. So many people told us how much they loved the music and the energy, and had never heard of a DJ band but thought it was an amazing concept and the addition of live music over tracks added extra excitement and fun. THC also helped out with lighting (uplights and dance lights), and worked with our fantastic planner and the venue to help us decide the best setup. Ultimately, we loved working with THC. Their DJ-band setup is unique and adds so much variety to your music while allowing for some of the energy that comes from live performers. We danced the night away and had an absolute blast. 100% would recommend THC to anyone!
