DJ Nick Ferrington and Beat Train Productions are an excellent choice. The Beat Train platform is responsive and diligent, and importantly throws a great party! Nothing slipped through the cracks throughout our process. We live in Chicago but our wedding was in Boston. This did not matter one bit. Beat Train and Nick specifically were exceptionally attentive all along the way. We arranged two Skype sessions with Nick to organize our event and handled most of the other details via email. We received email responses in every case within 24 hours. Nick’s night-of selections aligned with our preferences. The party was bumping from start-to-finish. Many friends and family commented on how awesome the music was. Even now, months later, we still hear from guests about what an awesome time they had on the dance floor. Of course I write with bias, but I wholeheartedly believe you can’t do much better than the Beat Train platform for wedding DJ purposes. It was an overall wonderful experience.
I cannot adequately describe how wonderful Nick was as our DJ. I’ve hired him 4 times before for other events, so I knew he was going to be amazing, but since this was a totally different crowd and was an event that really mattered to me, his support was even more important. We had all ages at our wedding, and they were on the dance floor THE ENTIRE TIME. Not to mention Nick is consistently there early, offers to help wherever he can, and is completely professional and knowledgeable about what he’s doing. I even had people come up to me during the ceremony asking me “WHO IS THIS DJ?!?” and wondering if they could fly him to CO for their own wedding. I cannot recommend Nick enough. He’s a delightful person and a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Nick, for helping to make Saturday by far the best night of our lives!
My wife and I had the privilege of having Nick Ferrington as our DJ for the wedding. Our wedding was on June 25th and we are still talking about how amazing Nick was. Our reception wouldn’t have been the same if we had another DJ. Nick listened to all of our requests for music to play (and what music we didn’t want played). His transitions from one song to another was seem less no awkward pauses. He would play an old school song that you forgot was so good then follow up with a popular song from today. He kept the music going all night hit after hit. The most common question we got after the wedding was: “who was your DJ?” He had everyone on the dance floor! I would highly suggest you listen to his mixes on his website they are a great indicator of what you will get the night of your wedding. I would higher Nick for any future parties that warrant a DJ!
Nick Ferrington DJed our wedding at the Charles River Museum of Industry and Innovation on June 28. Beat Train came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator, and they completely exemplified five-star worthy professionalism, customer service, and DJ’ing skills. From the initial consultation call to the last song,
we had such a fantastic experience working with Nick and the other Beat Train staff.Wedding planning is notoriously stressful, and our dealings with Beat Train were anything but. For example, the online scheduler, digital contract, and website all streamlined the booking and selection processes. The DJ bios and sample mixes were so helpful in helping us narrow down which DJ to choose. Nick met with us via video chat to talk through expectations and to answer questions, and we found him friendly, organized, and detail-oriented. I appreciated his responsiveness to emails, that he gave us deadlines and reminders for our music planning worksheet, and that he gave us great suggestions for entrance and parent dance songs. He also has a lot of experience with uplighting.
At our wedding, Nick provided great cocktail and dinner music before starting a fun dance party of pop, hip-hop, classic rock, and oldies! He read the crowd well while honoring our must-play, maybe-play, and do-not-play songs, managing to get our older relatives and younger friends grooving together on the dance floor. He kept the announcements smooth and subtle. The uplighting turned out great as well.
Nick Ferrington performed at our Sept. ’17 wedding and was exceptional. Personally, the DJ is the most important part of the wedding guests’ experience — accordingly, I had high expectations/standards. Nick exceeded expectations and delivered on every aspect of the job. It started with Nick’s responsiveness & reliability leading up to the wedding day and continued with his day-of performance. Nick’s music selection and read of the crowd was spot-on as he created a lively dance floor. It was clear that Nick took into account our music tastes/preferences relayed during consultation: his song choices and timing were perfect. Moreover, Nick’s energy, announcing, and articulation were flawless, seamlessly transitioning in and out of all formalities. Last but not least, Nick was professional and easy to work with.
Multiple wedding guests commented on the dance floor and music selection, and one guest even asked for Nick’s contact information. My wife and I could not have been happier with our DJ experience – excellent all around.
Nick Ferrington is the bomb! He DJed our May 2016 wedding, and we LOVED him. Our guests raved at the awesome songs he played. We wanted to have our dance floor moving all night, and Nick absolutely delivered. Nick is so talented in mixing tracks–we never had that weird awkward moment between songs. He kept the party going all night- and our dance floor was bumping! Nick is not your “ringmaster” type of DJ. He played great songs, and he was very low key in keeping the songs going. Thanks Nick! We will definitely recommend to our friends!
We had Nick as our DJ in Boston and we couldn’t have been more happy with our decision. He was friendly, helpful and responsive during the planning stage and was quite simply the best DJ we could’ve asked for during our reception. He is very knowledgable about all types of music and you can immediately tell that he loves music and people. He was also very accommodating and helpful with some very specific song requests and helping us find a version of our first dance song that we liked. Most importantly, he knows how to read a crowd and play the right music to get everyone dancing. Its difficult to think of a wedding that either of us have been to with a more lively dance floor – and that is all thanks to Nick. If he’s available HIRE HIM. You will not be disappointed.
Nick Ferrington has been our DJ at 4 events at this point, both private events and corporate events. He is a wonderful person to work with, always accommodating of our requests to make sure the music is exactly what we need. He has arrived early to set up each time, and is a pleasant personality to deal with, especially when event planning can be so tough. I would recommend Nick to anyone, and he originally came to us via word-of-mouth of a friend who had him at her wedding. Nick’s taste in music is also great, too…. which was evident by getting 200 high schoolers who didn’t know each other to dance up a storm within the first two minutes!!! That’s NOT an easy task. I will definitely be asking Nick first for all of my DJ needs.
We worked with Nick F. for our wedding on 8/5/2016. He was AMAZING! Extremely knowledgable about music and gave us some really great tips on entrance/exit, ceremony ideas etc. He met with us twice before the big day to go over all the details, which as a detail-obsessed, over-analyzing bride, I really appreciated. Also, he knows how to read the crowed and keep the party going all night! Thanks Nick!!
After using Nick and the Beat Train team twice now, I can easily and confidently say that they are a terrific company to work with. I work for a spirits brand, and we have used them at two parties now and they’ve done a fantastic job at both events. Nick is a great DJ as he reads the room perfectly, and plays music that fits the crowd and mood very well. They are competitively priced and very easy to book. I would recommend to anyone looking for a DJ
Picking a DJ for our wedding was the hardest part of planning. Essentially, music makes or breaks the vibe. Beat Train, specifically Nick, made the night!
I had no doubts due to multiple positive reviews.
Nick was very involved from the start and really came into the wedding knowing what we were looking for. He read the crowd and kept the dance floor packed.
They basically had to turn the lights on and chase us out of the hall at the end of the night 🙂
Thank you Nick & Beat Train!
Nick was fantastic to work with and kept the dance floor packed!
Choosing the DJ for our wedding was my husband’s biggest concern, and we spent more time than any other vendor looking at reviews and speaking with different DJs before finally speaking with Nick Ferrington from Beat Train. Finally someone who actually knew what they were talking about and could speak the DJ language back with my husband!! After our initial discussion we knew we wanted to move forward with Beat Train and Nick and are so happy we did. Nick was very responsive to any emails, questions or concerns we had leading up to our wedding day. As our date got closer, Nick checked in and was very flexible with all of my husband’s (somewhat OCD) requests.
I can truly say that our wedding was the best party I have ever been to (which is exactly what we wanted!!) and Nick took all our song and style requests and mixed and played them perfectly. The dance floor was packed the whole night and all of guests could not believe all the amazing songs he played. My husband and I prefer EDM and similar dance music (which turns out Nick also likes) and he had some amazing remixes and we had the best dance party! (That being said I’m sure Nick would still be amazing with any other genre of music as well) He did also play some older songs for our older guests, but kept the atmosphere upbeat the whole night. He was at our venue very early and all set up before any of our guests arrived. He also played a good mood mix during dinner and made sure that it was not too loud so our guests could still talk (which is always a huge peeve of mine– but don’t worry the music was plenty loud for the dance portion 🙂 ).
The only thing I would say is not whether or not to use Beat Train (and especially Nick), but to contact them ASAP to hope he is still available on your wedding date!!
Nick Ferrington came recommended to us by a co-worker and we are so glad he did!! We got married in September and Nick really made the wedding amazing. The DJ sets the tone for the entire wedding and people are still telling me how much fun they had at ours! The dance floor was packed the whole night and we really had a great time. Nick was also really easy to work with. He even offered some great suggestions in regards to our schedule for the evening, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. I cannot think of a more perfect DJ for our wedding!
Nick was the DJ at our wedding and he was amazing!!!! Nick was so easy to work with and was very very accommodating to everything that we needed. He always answered our questions immediately and provided great advice. Not only was he extremely reliable, but he played the best music. He really understood what we wanted, and respected that completely. So many people from our wedding said how great the DJ was. I can honestly say that the dance floor was packed from the beginning to end thanks to Nick. We had such a great experience not only because his music selection was perfect, but Nick is an all around great guy who is a pleasure to work with. Thanks for making our day special!!
DJ Nick was absolutely amazing! We were extremely happy with Nick and Beat Train Productions (Boston) throughout the whole process and especially on the big day. The music at our wedding was one of the highlights. The dance floor was packed from start to finish and no one wanted DJ Nick to stop! Everyone was complementing our DJ and the dance party. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. Nick was a pleasure to work with – very responsive, professional and so pleasant. He was very detailed and thorough. When we met before hand, he was really interested in and open to our must plays and must not plays. He also had great suggestions after getting a sense of our music taste.
On the day he captured the mood perfectly whether it was the cocktail hour, dinner or dance party. The dancing was non stop and Nick played one amazing song after the other. He also had some sweet mashups but didn’t over do the mixing. We couldn’t have been happier with DJ Nick

I cannot think of a more perfect DJ for our wedding!
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.
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.
Nick Ferrington creating and curated a truly awesome soundtrack for our wedding. I cannot count how many compliments we got from all of our guests on the great music. My brother—who is an admitted music snob—was so impressed that he got up during dinner to go tell Nick how much he loved the playlist. Nick matched our personal styles so much that my mom thought that I made the dinner playlist.
Nick really knows how to get (and keep!) people out on the dance floor. If your wedding music matter to you, I cannot recommend Nick highly enough. He was also extremely easy to work with as we planned our big day and made the process very easy. If I’m ever in a position to host a party big enough to warrant a DJ, I’ll be calling Nick again. Thank you!
Choosing a DJ was a very important part of our wedding as we wanted to make sure we had a fun night with lots of dancing. We talked to a few DJs, but were referred to Beat Train by our hotel. Once we met Nick we knew he was the right DJ for us. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable about music, and fun! He really took a genuine interest in our story, our goals for the wedding, and what kind of music we liked. The whole process was relaxing and fun for us. And the night of the wedding he hit it out of the park!!
The dance floor was packed the entire night. We still have wedding guests raving about our DJ and have had engaged friends reach out to him for their weddings. Book Nick as soon as possible for your event! He is the best!!
After hearing great things about Beat Train, we hired Nick for our May wedding and are so happy that we did! Beyond being a great DJ, he is easy to work with and a really nice guy. He was proactive in reaching out to us and made the planning part easy. At the wedding, he kept the dance floor packed the entire night. There was not a single bad choice in a song that he played, which is really rare at weddings! Since we had our wedding at a private estate, we had some small things go wrong with wiring etc, but Nick dealt with them and kept the party going! I highly recommend Nick as a DJ!!
Nick was amazing! Our dance floor was packed all night long and we had the best time. He was easy to work with and got exactly what we wanted when we met with him. I never once worried about music after booking with him. You won’t regret this decision!!
We could not have asked for anyone better than DJ Nick for our 5-year high school reunion! He was extremely professional and responded to all emails in a timely manner. The entire process of getting a reliable DJ was so simple thanks to DJ Nick. He arrived at the venue well before the start of the event to set up and was very friendly and personable. Many guests noted that they loved the music and the DJ. I give DJ Nick and Beat Train Productions my highest recommendation.
Nick Ferrington was hired to DJ our brunch wedding on Valentines Day 2015. He was perfect in every way; arrival time, his appearance, tone of his voice during the event and most importantly the music! We had chosen jazz, mainly Rat Pack with some additional artists of the same genre. We also had requested he only play this type of music and he did just that. My new husband and I loved his music, and his professionalism, our guest complemented us over and over again on his performance.
Thank you Nick for being a part of our day!
My husband and I were married in Hingham, MA in early November 2014. We knew that we wanted a fun, young DJ who wouldn’t play the Electric Slide or anything inappropriate enough to offend grandparents, and after doing some research, reading reviews, and listening to clips on the Beat Train website, we reached out to Nick Ferrington. From day one of working with him, he was just awesome. We had a phone call with him a few months before the wedding to discuss the important music– entrance songs, first dance, and the father/daughter dance, and to get his input on how long songs should be, if we wanted him to edit anything out, shorten anything, etc. and that was super helpful. We also gave him a “Do Not Play” list and a few of our favorite songs, but for the most part we opted to let him just kind of get a feel of our guests throughout the reception and play what he thought would be best. To this day, our guests still tell us how amazing the music was– nobody left the dance floor the entire night! He followed up after the wedding to make sure we were satisfied with his services and was just very nice and accommodating throughout all of our planning. We dealt with the Beat Train office for booking and payment, and Nick for all details regarding the actual day, and everyone was always very responsive, helpful, and professional. I couldn’t recommend him, or the Beat Train company, any more!
We were so happy to have Nick as the DJ for our wedding! He was wonderful to work with and made the whole process really easy. He also made great suggestions when there were music choices we weren’t sure of or had trouble deciding on. Our guests raved about how great the DJ was and he kept everyone on the dance floor until the very end of the night which is exactly what we were hoping for 🙂 We communicated mostly by email but met in person a couple months before to talk things through and also had a phone call the week of the wedding to make sure everything was squared away- which of course it was! I would highly recommend Nick and Beat Train for your wedding!
We had Nick Ferrington as our DJ and we legitimately could not have been happier. From the beginning Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with. From his personality to his actual song selection – he was excellent. Nick had both of our families dancing from start to finish including the ones that “don’t dance”. I would recommend Nick and Beat Train Productions in a heart beat, and absolutely plan on using them again in the future.
We used beat train productions for our wedding. We loved how they have a more professional style. We were on the same page when it came to certain songs- no ymca, electric slide, etc. We had Nick Ferrington as our DJ and I would highly recommend him. We received so many compliments on him during the wedding. Some of our friends are now planning to book him too!
We had the pleasure of working with Nick for our big day. From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience with Nick. He was very professional and gave his advice when we were unsure about length of first dance, parents’ dance, etc. Our friends really enjoyed the music and teared up the dance floor. I highly recommend Nick for any wedding. Check out his DJ mixes on the website!
We had been to a Beat Train Wedding and loved how on cue they were with that couple, and when we picked Nick to be our DJ we were hoping for the same thing, he was better than anticipated. So many people told us how our music was so on point with our style and there was never a break in dancing. Nick was so on point with the crowd and keeping everything upbeat an awesome. He was so pleasant to work with and really did every little thing we asked for! I would recommend Beat Train to everyone! We really did have the Best Day Ever thanks to Nick!
Nick from Beat Train was absolutely amazing! My husband and I wanted to play more dance music then traditional wedding music. We gave a few suggestions but let Nick do the rest – we loved everything he played. We had uncharacteristically hot and humid weather for the time of year in a venue with no AC – Nick was able to move our speakers to an area that was partially outside and everyone danced despite the heat. We had more people dancing in 90 degree weather then I see at most weddings. Nick was very professional and made the planning process easy. Hire him he is worth every penny!
We had DJ Nick for our wedding at Brooksby Farm and were so happy with how much fun he made the whole night. Meeting with Nick a few times before the wedding was really helpful because he made sure we went over our expectations for every part of the night to make it what we wanted and offered suggestions for things we hadn’t even considered. Since he was familiar with our venue we didn’t need to worry about how the setup would go and he made all the necessary arrangements with the staff. He read the crowd and made adjustments when necessary to keep everyone on the dance floor. Our guests were sore the next day– the sign of a great DJ!
I can’t say enough about Nick Ferrington and Beat Train. They were a pleasure to work with from our first emails and phone calls to the day of our wedding. If you’re looking for a perfect & FUN wedding DJ who will make your wedding a dance party – hire these guys. They are professional, fun, and lovely to work with. A+!!
My husband and I had Nick from Beat Train Production (Boston) DJ our recent wedding. He was FANTASTIC and I would not have changed a thing. He played the perfect music selection starting with cocktail hour all the way until the end of the evening. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night which was exactly what I wanted. Guests are continuing to compliment us on the music and DJ. Nick was always professional, flexible, and extremely easy to contact. He even played a few extra songs since we were having so much fun! I would recommend this vendor and specially Nick to everyone! Thanks for making our day amazing.
Nick Ferrington of Beat Train Productions was the DJ for our wedding. Throughout the planning process he was very responsive and helpful. He provided a great worksheet for us to fill out for not only what songs we did/did not want, but also the genres of music we wanted throughout. Nick was responsive by email and we met the week before the wedding in person to go over specifics.
On the day of the wedding Nick was on time and came through with everything we wanted. He provided the music and mic for the ceremony as well as music for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. He made only the announcements we asked for. He did a great job of incorporating the type of music we said we liked and keeping the dance floor full the whole evening. We got lots of compliments on the music from all generations.
I would highly recommend Beat Train Productions, and Nick specifically.
Nick Ferrington was our was our AMAZING DJ for our June 2014 wedding. From the very beginning of the process to the end, Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with, and was accommodating with our eclectic taste in music (and managed to weave the Horah and Bollywood songs into the mix). He had the dance floor packed the entire night (and people didn’t even want to leave after the music stopped!) We heard from multiple people that it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding. Thanks to Nick for making the night so memorable!
Nick was Beat Train was the DJ for our wedding, and he was absolutely amazing. He was super easy to work with, very accessible, and he perfectly executed everything we asked of him exactly as we envisioned it.
We got lots of positive feedback about Nick from wedding guests, from young to old. Nick did a great job of playing older guest friendly music for cocktail hour and dinner, but didn’t waste any precious post dinner dancing time on cheesy crowd pleasers (which was exactly what we asked for–I’m sure if you want Dancing Queen played on repeat at your wedding he’ll do that too–he’s very accomodating). We recently watched the raw video footage from our wedding, and I think he deserves the full credit for the 3 hour dance party we know own in all its glory memorialized by our videographer.
Nick also did all the sound stuff for our ceremony, which turned out perfectly too.
Thank you Nick and Beat Train!
Based on all of Beat Train’s reviews, we knew hiring a member of their team was going to be a great decision. We had no idea how spectacular Nick Ferrington was going to be! From our initial meeting to the last song of the night, Nick was upbeat, professional, intuitive, engaging and personable.
Our ceremony music was impeccably timed. Cocktail hour received nothing but high compliments. And the dance floor was packed full the entire night.
It was apparent that Nick took the time to do his homework to create the perfect atmosphere for us and our guests. It was so perfect – as if he secretly hacked our iTunes collections. Nick helped make our wedding what it was meant to be: amazing!
I was the groom throughout this wedding, and I’m not even sure that I am the most qualified to leave this review.
I only say this because of the volume of people in our 220+ wedding that came up to my bride and me after the wedding to compliment the DJ.
Nick Ferrington was the hit maker the night of our wedding, and he was simply awesome. The dance floor was packed from the start of the night, until the end. Nick kept control of the room the whole time.
There was nothing cheesy or silly about Nick. We told him the things we wanted and things we didn’t want, though he was pretty much on the same page as us anyway.
As expected, we called and emailed and texted Nick up until hours before the ceremony with changes and addendums and adds and drops; and he took it all in stride.
Nick is a calming presence and a lot of fun to have run the party. We couldn’t have been happier with the professionalism and ethic of our vendors, and Nick was simply outstanding.
We recently got married in October and had Nick from Beat Train Productions as our DJ. Ari one of the owners sets up a call with each person as a consultation and did a great job of listening to what we wanted in a DJ and fitting us with a great DJ in our budget. Nick was also great. He was always in contact with me and set up a Skype session a month before the wedding to get all the details in line. This was especially important as we currently live in Wisconsin and were getting married outside of Boston so having a way to meet with them without heading out to Massachusetts to do it was more than important especially with me being a planner. They were more than accommodating. The day of the wedding we got nothing but complements about Nick’s music choices and his professionalism. Everyone from my 92 year old grandmother to my high school friends loved him! All in all Nick helped to make our wedding day awesome! Nick was also super flexible with the schedule allowing us to visit with our guests and complete things like the father and daughter dance and cake cutting when we wanted to which was nice because we didn’t need to stress about time lines. I would highly recommend Beat Train productions and especially Nick to anyone!
We recently worked with Beat Train Productions for our Provincetown Wedding. Nick Ferrington was our DJ and was amazing! Our wedding music was perfect and was exactly what we were looking for. Both of us like indie/folk music and tend to shy away from anything of the typical club variety, but still wanted music everyone could dance to and have fun with. Nick met with us to understand the type of music we wanted and delivered this perfectly during our event. He was very responsive to email and extremely professional as well as easy to work with at each step. We received so many compliments. The day after our wedding so many people noted that they would recommend Nick as a DJ for any friends getting married in the future and even stated Nick was the best DJ they had ever seen. Nick did a fantastic job. Most importantly, everyone had so much fun and we definitely have Nick to thank for that. Regardless of what your music tastes are, I recommend using Nick and the Beat Train Productions Team to DJ your wedding.
We had Nick Ferrington from Beat Train productions and both my wife and I agreed that he was hands down the best vendor of the wedding as well as the best DJ we’ve had a chance to experience.
Leading up to the wedding, Nick was very informative about how the process would work as well as professional and made sure we understood how the night would progress and how he likes to work. He was very open to our suggestions of music but at the same time used his own digression to read the crowd. I had multiple friends tell me after the wedding how good the music and dancing were, we had a wide range of age groups and everybody was on the dance floor all night. I would highly recommend Nick as a DJ to anybody that might ever be looking for one.
We had Nick Ferrington from Beat Train productions and are so thrilled that we did!!
We had a pretty large wedding(250 guests) with a broad range in ages, however Nick was somehow able to please everyone! I have had multiple guests comment on how amazing the music was…no one ever wanted to leave the dance floor! Everyone had a great time and we know it would not have been the same without him spinning such great music all night!Everyone we spoke with at Beat Train Productions was courteous and friendly throughout the planning process which made everything so much easier. If you choose Nick you will not be disappointed!!
We decided to hire Beat Train to DJ our wedding based only on positive online reviews and their professional-looking website and I’m so glad we went with our gut! Nick was absolutely fantastic. He was very easy to work with and took care of everything himself the day of so that we didn’t have to worry about equipment setup or the music fitting into the flow of the evening or anything. Our guests liked the more mellow music he chose for dinner and then danced literally nonstop for hours after dinner. We had hoped to get the majority of guests on the dance floor, but never would have thought everyone would have had so much fun dancing the whole night! Nick received rave reviews from guests young and old and we would highly recommend him.
I used beat train for my wedding on Cape Cod (which was destination – we live in Chicago). Anyway, navigating a destination wedding is tough and finding the right vendors (especially when you have expectations like mine) is even tougher – but all of the people at Beat Train made my life a lot easier. Their style was right on point with what I was looking for (not your traditional cheesy wedding music) and they really listened to the specifics of what I wanted. Our DJ was Nick Ferrington and he was just the nicest guy ever, so easy to work with – he turned our reception into a night club on the beach which is exactly what I asked him to do. Many of our guest commented that he was the best wedding DJ that had ever seen. Music sets the vibe of a wedding so finding a DJ who understands your vision is of the utmost importance, that being said, I would 100% recommend Beat Train to any couple – they listen, they are versatile and a great value for what you get!
Working with Beat Train was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding! From the moment we met Nick Ferrington, our DJ, he was extremely professional, easy to get along with, incredibly knowledgeable, and very organized. Throughout the planning process, he was always one step ahead, making sure everything was in order so nothing felt stressful and last minute. We sought his input on a number of things (good songs for mother/son and father/daughter dances, other recommendations) and he clearly has a good instinct for what works and what doesn’t. The actual day of the wedding, our dance floor was full the entire time. There were guests that we thought would never dance on the floor all night long, young and old. He has an amazing way of reading the crowd and playing the perfect song. We wish we were having another event so we could work with Nick again!
We were blown away by Nick Ferrington at Beat Train Productions. From our initial meeting with Nick through the wedding reception Nick was professional, accessible, friendly and incredibly talented. Our dance floor was rocking all night. Nick knew the music we wanted to play and avoid – he met all our needs and surpassed our expectations! Our wedding planning was often stressful, so it was such a relief to never worry about our DJ – from the start, we knew were in great hands with Nick. The pricing was also very reasonable. We recommend Nick to our friends and family.
Beat Train Productions came very highly recommended to us from a friend who runs his own DJ company in Washington DC. Even with that ringing endorsement though, we were blown away by the amazing job that Nick did!
My wife and I are big music fans, with very particular tastes and strong opinions. we chose Nick based on the mixes on Beat Train’s website, as he displayed a good facility with different styles of music. From our first Skype meeting we knew we had made the right choice. He was very positive and upbeat, attentive, open-minded and intrigued by what we had planned. We wanted a very specific mood for our wedding and suggested a whole slew of new music to him. We were so impressed with how he dove right in, and not only found the artists we liked or ones similar, but he was able to pick out the perfect songs from their entire catalog to make the whole evening flow.
Not only did he do a great job with the music itself, but we were also impressed with how he handled the event itself. As we all know, as a wedding is happening the original plan gets thrown out the window at some point as different factors conspire to alter the carefully planned timeline. Nick responded to these changes with great poise and was always ready to help move the evening along when it was time.
We loved Nick’s DJ skills, his attitude, and his professionalism and we would strongly recommend Beat Train Productions for your big day!
We hired Nick from Beat Train Productions for our wedding last month. Honestly, one of my biggest fears regarding our wedding was an empty dance floor. But as soon as Nick started playing for the reception, the floor was full and staying that way until after we left the venue! Throughout the evening our friends commented to us WHILE ON THE DANCE FLOOR what a great DJ Nick was. And we couldn’t have agreed more! Nick played the exact music we asked for. We only had two requests – we wanted to avoid vulgar music (the F-word, overly sexual songs, etc) for the sake of our family members present, and we didn’t want any line dance songs played. Not once did Nick play a song we were uncomfortable with, yet all the music was great dancing music! Furthermore, when one of our guests requested the Wobble, Nick said no! We were so grateful!!
Not only was Nick super SUPER talented at his DJ work, but he was personable and kind. We felt like he was an old friend from the first time we met with him for a consultation. He was professional and made us feel totally confident in trusting him with announcements and music. We really don’t like overly involved DJs who make crude jokes, become the center of the dance floor, or talk too much. And Nick was none of those things! He even let my 6 year old brother come behind his table, wear his headphones, and pretend to be a DJ – it was great!!
All in all, we would definitely recommend Nick for your wedding! He was potentially our favorite vendor we worked with!
Dj Nick Ferrington was AMAZING and by far the best vendor we worked with! He was attentive without being “cheesy” and kept the crowd happy all night. My friends and family are still talking about him!
Nick from Beat Train Productions was the DJ for our Boston wedding. We chose the company and him based on reviews and we are so happy that we did. It was easily the number one compliment that we received from guests. The company is incredibly well-run and professional. They got right back to us after our initial inquiry and continued to be responsive through the day of. We came up with a list of our preferred artists and handed the rest over to Nick. He did a fabulous job.
Nick DJ’ed during our reception which was in Edgartown, MA on Martha’s Vineyard. We had a fun bluegrass band from Nashville play during the cocktail hour — everything was super relaxed and laid back — the typical scene for an outdoor on-the-water wedding. But when Nick started to DJ, things got crazy FAST!!! I’ve never seen so many people pile on to the dancefloor so quickly — by the second song, EVERYONE was dancing! Did I mention that this was at 3:30 in the afternoon?!? Serious air guitar and booty shaking in the middle of an Indian Summer afternoon. Nothing weirder than seeing a mob of people dancing outdoors in broad daylight — but somehow it worked and we were on the dancefloor to the very last song. Nick played an AMAZING mix of songs we requested — it takes serious talent and guts to play LMFAO, Psy, Rick Astly (yes, the 80s red-headed wonder), and Def Leppard during a single session. We had requested fun, new top 40 dance mixed with our fave 80s and Nick delivered. We received tons of guest feedback about how they had never danced so much at a wedding. Even the neighbors on the property next to ours were dancing on their roof deck! It was AMAZEBALLS! Also, per my request, Nick played Diana Krall and Elvis Costello all during the dinner — and he picked all of their very best songs. On a funny unrelated note — some of the dinner tables started an Elvis Costello drinking game where you had to drink every time one of his songs came on 😉 I love live bands — BUT, I really wanted everyone to dance like crazy during our reception. Bands can’t always deliver on that. So here’s my advice, have a fun band during your cocktail hour for an hour and a half and then have a DJ for your reception — I promise you will be SO glad you did! And most importantly, if you want people to dance all night long, hire NICK to DJ your reception!
Nick did an AWESOME job at our wedding. He had ALL of our guests up and dancing, and everyone was having so much fun. He did a great job of reading the crowd and changing the music as necessary to fit the mood and keep the party going.
I’m embarrased to admit that my inital list of DJs was close to 200 (im a bit anal retentive), I looked into DJ’s in VT, NH, MA, and upstate NY for my VT wedding.. I know I have a problem! …Beat Train was exactly what I was looking for for my wedding… no nonesense, upbeat music, no taco hats, no line dancing, no blow up instruments, and no DJ trying to steal my thunder. After discussing our wedding with Ari he suggested a few DJs that he felt would fit with what we were looking for. We had skype interviews with two DJs and although we loved them both, we really felt that Nick Ferrington had the experience, skills, and personality we were looking for. So happy we went with him! This guy really went above and beyond.. As a pseudo control freak, I was very specific about the type of music i wanted and when it was to played (classic rock love themed songs during dinner and upbeat top hits that I could find in any club in NYC after). I had one somewhat crazy request and Nick made it happen and made my night, as I am from NH and my now husband is from NY he was able to splice Empire State of Mind and a parody Granite State of Mind and it came out awesome. He had some real doozies of names to pronounce during the intros and he landed them! From the minute dinner was over and that dance music went on (with the help of some open bar) the dance floor was full ALL NIGHT, he did an amazing job reading the crowd.. he even had my Nana( 81) up there pumping her fist! Our wedding was in southern VT, but a lot of our guests were from NYC where we live and very involved in the nightlife, they were ravin about this DJ. Friends who were engaged were asking for his card, and he later told us that he got approached by a staff member to do local venues. He gave us exactly what we asked for and we highly recommend this DJ company and Nick!
Nick Ferrington and Beat Train Productions were a great DJ and company to work with. From selecting them as our wedding DJ to the actual reception itself, Beat Train Productions were attentive to detail, friendly and professional. Nick kept the dance floor going all night and made sure that all our guests had a great time partying. We would highly recommend Beat Train Productions (especially DJ Nick Ferrington) to anyone looking for an excellent DJ company.
My husband and I used Beat Train Productions for our September wedding and we could not have been more pleased! Nick Ferrington DJ’d our big day and he was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was a great guy all around and definitely not a typical ‘cheesy MC’ type of DJ. From the very first song he played until our guests were chanting “one more song” at the end of the night, the dance floor stayed PACKED; Nick clearly knows how to read a crowd! Even during dinner when music is often barely acknowledged we kept turning to each other in surprise and saying “I love this song!” and “how did he know this was one of our favorites?” which especially came as a shock to us since we gave him very little direction or specific song choices. We had asked guests what song they would ‘promise to dance to’ if played and we pulled a couple of those songs and suggested them to Nick. With only these few songs to go off of he crafted an amazing playlist which kept everyone (at every age!) happy all night. We would strongly recommend Nick (and Beat Train) to anyone to use as their wedding DJ.
Beat Train Productions is the most professional, creative, and intelligent DJ boutique firm we have had the pleasure of coming across. Thank goodness we found them for our wedding! Ari Rosenfield runs an outstanding business- his DJ’s are very talented, and they personalize their services to ensure that each day is perfect. Ari was fantastic to work with- he was prompt, helpful, and assisted us in finding the perfect DJ for our wedding day. Nick Ferrington is an incredible DJ, and my guests could not stop raving about him! From the cocktail hour to the reception, everyone was overjoyed with Nick’s musical selections and ability to find music to fit the mood. He set the ambiance and vibe of our event, and I am so grateful for having him present to share our special day. Nick truly paid attention to our taste in music, and we knew he did his homework when he started playing all of our favorite bands during from the beginning. During the dancing, Nick rocked the party and everyone had a fantastic time. Family and friends kept asking me where we found him! Nick also saved the day when the audio failed at our venue and my sister in law wanted to present a special slideshow that she made! He stepped right in and helped us have crystal clear sound for the whole show. He is a great person. We will enthusiastically recommend Beat Train Productions to family and friends in the future!
Nick Ferrington had a great, intuitive selection of music which perfectly fit the mood we were looking for, and I never provided even very detailed instructions. Nick picked up on the vibe we wanted perfectly. He was also extremely professional throughout.
We selected Beat Train Productions and Nick to DJ our wedding in Cape Cod, MA and couldn’t have been happier. Right from the start Nick was attentive and accommodating in helping make sure the music was what we wanted from Dinner all the way through to the last song. We wanted a fun dance party, and Nick delivered with an eclectic mix of 80’s, 90’s, Pop, Hip-Hop and upbeat Indie songs. From the first song all ages were on the dance floor, from 20 to 70 there wasn’t a person sitting. We had multiple people attending the wedding ask us if there was going to be a “soundtrack” or if we could get Nick’s mix to take home for them – that’s how good he was. Thanks for making the night fun and memorable – if you select Beat Train for your event I have no doubts you’ll be just as happy.
Nick Ferrington at Beat Train is one of the best DJs I have ever heard, and it was a blessing to have him DJ our wedding reception. We and our guests had a hard time staying off the dance floor, as he kept playing a perfect mix of our favorites (reading our tastes super well!) and classic wedding jams (from motown to classic 90s). He was super flexible with special requests, including some special announcements, and was very attentive to turn down the volume when we had semi-spontaneous singing during dinner. He was also available for last-minute changes, including a custom recording of our first dance song that came in under the wire. At the request of the wedding party, he even came through with a great, up-beat polka for the Lithuanians in the crowd. As far as set-up, he brought everything with him except a table with linens that we rented with the other dinner tables. We had an outdoor party, and he was totally flexible with the spacing, and running power to his set-up. 11/10, would hire again. He was a blast!
