Beat Train Productions

If you're a bride searching for the perfect DJ, stop your search and book Kara from Beat Train Productions. From the moment we first connected with her, Kara Stokowski was nothing short of extraordinary. We had the pleasure of working with her for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and she exceeded every expectation we had. One of the standout moments of our wedding was how flawlessly Kara managed the music throughout the day. She ensured that our ceremony music was perfectly timed, creating the most magical atmosphere as we walked down the aisle. For cocktail hour, Kara brought our vision to life with an incredible selection of Christmas jazz music. We had a winter wedding, and this touch added so much warmth and festive charm to the evening—she was just as excited about this idea as we were, which showed her passion for making the event uniquely ours. As for the reception, it was truly unforgettable. The dance floor was packed from the very first song to the last. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the music—many said it was the best wedding playlist they've ever heard! Kara’s ability to read the crowd and keep the energy high all night was unmatched. Her transitions were seamless, and her impeccable style as a DJ shined throughout the night. Kara's professionalism was top-notch. She was responsive, organized, and so easy to work with in the planning process. She made us feel confident every step of the way and truly listened to what we wanted. She took our music preferences and built something even better than we could have imagined. We cannot thank Kara and Beat Train enough for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives. If you're looking for a DJ who will not only make your day special but also unforgettable, we cannot recommend Kara more highly!

We are SO beyond happy that we hired DJ Joe Lopez from Beat Train for our wedding!!! He was so communicative from the start, helping us plan along the way and giving us amazing ideas and suggestions that made our night so special– like inviting our friends and family out to the dance floor with us to join us during our first dance. He was on time, organized, and everything went so smoothly. On top of that, the reception music was amazing. We made a playlist of suggestions and sent Joe the link, but he took it and went above and beyond our expectations. He read the crowd perfectly – choosing what songs to play and when and adding his own – and it was PERFECT. We heard from so many people how great the music was, and all our guests, of all ages, were out on the dance floor literally all night dancing together. It was the most fun I’ve ever had and I heard from so many people it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Can’t recommend Joe and Beat Train enough!!!!

DJ Jeff Durand was the DJ for our wedding, and he is a true ARTIST: there is no other word to describe what he does. I'm the person who's always in charge of the playlist for parties and events, so I'd been very nervous about handing over the mic to someone else for our wedding. But DJ Jeff immediately alleviated all of those fears. He took the 60+ songs I shared, and while I hadn't thought it possible somehow managed to incorporate almost every single one into our wedding. Our dinner started late and DJ Jeff knew how important dancing was to us, and he was proactive about coming up to us and asking if he could start the music as soon as we'd finished eating. He made up for that time and more, and 2 hours of dancing felt like 3+ in the best possible way. I attribute this to his brilliant transitions and live mixing, which was always seamless, fun, and inventive (and things people remembered: there was a moment "Bohemian Rhapsody" followed a 90s hip-hop song and multiple people came up to us after to tell us how cool it was). Unknowingly--which I attribute to his sheer skill as a DJ--he opened the wedding with the song I had always thought about when it came to our wedding, and played my favorite song of all time as the wedding's second-to-last song (the night ended with "Somebody to Love," which was actually the most epic and emotional experience of my entire life). So many people told us ours was the best wedding they'd ever been to because of the music, and even though we're biased, we have to agree. We loved our experience with DJ Jeff and Beat Train (get the intelligent lights! They're so worth it!) and anyone would be lucky to work with them.

Greg was an incredible DJ and emcee for our wedding, making the dinner and reception unforgettable! He handled all the key announcements flawlessly, from introducing the wedding party and speakers to announcing our first dance, the mother-son dance, the cake cutting, and the anniversary dance for married couples. He struck the perfect balance, being clear and engaging without being overbearing or too reserved. The music Greg played was absolutely spot on. The dance floor was electric the entire night, with guests raving that they'd never been to a wedding where the dancing was so lively and continuous. Greg did an amazing job selecting tracks that kept everyone on their feet, and he skillfully mixed and transitioned between songs. He played all our "must play" songs and respected our "do not play" list, which we really appreciated. There was a moment when a wine glass shattered on the dance floor, and Greg quickly stepped in to clean up the mess, ensuring everyone's safety before resuming his DJ duties. That kind of attentiveness and quick action went above and beyond our expectations. Overall, Greg's professionalism, music selection, and seamless handling of the evening's events made our wedding truly special. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic DJ and emcee!

We had calls with multiple DJs and decided to go with David Victor from Beat Train mainly for his energy and how comfortable we felt. We didn't have hard guidelines on the music throughout the evening aside genres and some must-plays. He communicated how he would DJ, detailed each portion of the night, how much involvement we wanted in emcee-ing, but mainly his MO was to feel the crowd and adjust and play to the vibe. And that's where he delivered. From the processional, cocktail hour, first dance, to closing out the dancefloor, everything was on point. We asked for Kpop, hip hop, pop, edm, r&b for the dancing, and a bit rock, alt for other portions of the night and he played it just right. Even breaking in slow-down songs to change-up here and there. The guests raved about how good the music was that night, and even asked for his entire playlist for their own wedding. All-in-all, would highly recommended and have recommended David: great communication, responsive, good vibes and energy, detail oriented, but mainly, he was self-sufficient in knowing what to play with our minimal guidelines and kept the party going to the last song.
