Reviews
The Beats was exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception! They are fun, energetic and played the full range of great dance music, pleasing the crowd of different age! We love live music, and listened to a lot of other bands before making our decision. The Beats had by far the best vocals and musicians we found! They had great DJing during our dinner (we didn’t want live music during dinner) and even personalized the tunes they played in between their sets per our request. We got tons of compliments from our guests about how AWESOME the band was and we highly recommend them!!! The band leader was wonderful and easy to work with and extremely professional. We’ll definitely be calling them for our 1st year anniversary!”
- Brenda
We had the best time at our wedding! The guys rocked the house! People are still talking about the band’s talent and how well everything turned out! They learned a song that was out of their song list for our first dance and THEY ROCKED IT! Everything went smoothly and they were more than willing to work with our other requests. We emailed almost 150 emails back and forth with Sergei and he was always so responsive! He even called us a week before the wedding and talked us through all the details of the Big Day! The Beats is an awesome group and we hope on booking them for more events to come! We can’t really say enough good things about them. Make sure to book them way in advance, because they book really fast.”
- Alexandra
Having the The Beats was the best decision that we could have made in planning our event. Once we knew they were coming, it allowed for us to set up a very successful evening. Communication was very easy with them, and I could always count on having an email response within a few hours. I plan on inviting them back next year and highly recommend them to anybody who is looking for a lively, upbeat, and easy-to-work-with entertainment group.”
- Matt
These guys are phenomenal! The Beats played at our wedding reception and they gave us the time of our life! All of our guests were thrilled with the band! And the comment I've heard most frequently from our guests was "The band was amazing! How did you find them???" It was everything we hoped for!!! Two words to sum it up: HIRE THEM!!!”
- Melissa
A band can make or break your wedding and The Beats definitely MADE our wedding!! Their energy was amazing, literally everyone couldn't stop dancing!! I had so many guests come up to me and say it was the best band of any wedding they'd been to. SUPER engaging... The sax player and singers even came onto the dance floor! Sergei was a pleasure to deal with- thank you for making our wedding reception so much fun and for bringing down the house!!!”
- Private User
One of the best decisions I made when planning my wedding was choosing The Beats! Leading up to the wedding, the band's manager Sergei was incredibly helpful and spent a lot of time making sure he knew how we wanted everything to flow and he definitely listened and delivered on our wishes! The band was so talented and fun. When I read their reviews before choosing them I thought it was awesome how everyone was saying the band came into the crowd and interacted with guests while they were playing and they did just that at our wedding! Even the music they played during their breaks was exactly what we wanted! An example of their professionalism - the microphones gave out during our toasts and the band was on the stage and acted completely calm so that our guests wouldn't think anything went terribly wrong. If I were to do it all again, I would choose The Beats as my wedding band in a minute.”
- Jennifer
My partner and I had always planned on simply hiring a DJ for our wedding being always mindful of our budget. We made the fatal flaw of seeing a live wedding band however, and like most we were hooked and knew for us at least, a DJ wouldn't do. We were initially discouraged as great bands cost obscene amounts of money and affordable bands often sounded very poor in person. Through extensive searching online we landed on The Beats. When your searching online 95% of band videos are produced and sound like pop stars but in person sound horrible. The Beats don't produce their videos and thus what you hear is real. The band was available for our day and was a joy to talk with as we discussed our needs. We were able to work out a solution in our particular budget which included someone playing during the ceremony, cocktail hour instruments, dj during dinner and full band during the night. When it comes down to, they are truly the best live band I've ever heard. The female and male vocals were incredible, and the instrumental solos were unbelievable. Our wedding had people in their 20s all the way up to people in their 90s and they were able to create a playlist getting everyone up on their feet. Having listened to all the YouTube and mp3s on their website countless times before the wedding, I can say without a doubt they were 10x even better than that in person. I recommend booking them far in advance and if they are in your budget then you'll find no better band.”
- Chris
Absolutely great band--from the very beginning, the dialogue with Sergei to the wedding day and even after! They worked in all our special requests, had a great mix of all our favorite songs. The dance floor was never empty. We opted for the 8 piece band with the sax and additional trumpet. I highly recommend an extra wind, it sounded awesome having sax and trumpet play at the same time. The Beats was worth absolutely every penny and I hope I get to hear them again very soon. I was just sorry when the 4 hours were up! Thank you SO MUCH guys!”
- Mari
From my first contact with The Beats manager, I was very impressed. His main focus throughout all our conversations was "what we wanted". My father wanted to sing a song during the reception - no problem – we sent Sergei a recording ahead of time, they learned the song and made an awesome performance! My dad was thrilled! They made him sound like Marvin Gaye! They played every song that was on our song list from the 60s to the currents. I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion. They were just perfect for our wedding and the venue loved them too! Thanks again for helping to make our wedding an unforgettable night!!!”
- Private User
We had some really bad luck with the bands in the past, but The Beats were beyond amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! Not only did they accommodate all of our last minute requests, but they sounded absolutely amazing! All of our guests complimented me all night about the music. They are worth every penny, and I would hire them again in a second!”
- Lindsay
We highly recommend The Beats band! From our first contact with Sergei, he was extremely helpful and professional. He encouraged us to come listen to the band at one of their shows, and we made the decision to book them that night based on how much the crowd got into it! Sergei was very responsive to emails and calls throughout the whole planning process and answered any questions we had. When it came to our wedding day, the band was amazing! They are so talented, and they were also so nice and fun to have around! The dance floor was always full and it was very clear that everyone was having a blast! Based on some suggestions of songs and artists we like, the band came up with some awesome song choices that kept the crowd engaged. We got a lot of feedback after the wedding about how much everyone loved the band! All we wanted for our wedding day was to have fun with our friends and family and we can confidently say The Beats were a huge part of making that happen. Our day would not have been the same without them!”
- Emily
Hiring The Beats for our wedding was the best decision we made during the planning process. They are professional, affordable, personable and most of all extremely talented! They kept our guests on the dance floor for the entire reception and nobody wanted to leave once the reception was over. They have a huge song list to choose from but aside from a couple must have's, we gave them a general idea of what we were looking to hear and they played a perfect mix of Motown, Rock, R&B and Top 40. Our guests were completely blown away by their energy and talent! We also had a guitarist for the ceremony and a trio for the cocktail hour. Aside from the dinner break they DJ'ed, they only took one short break throughout the reception. I am so thrilled we were able to have them play at our wedding and would highly recommend them to anyone! Our friends and family can't wait to see them again at their next public appearance!”
- Private User
Oh. My. Gosh. The Beats were easily the best part of our wedding!! From the very beginning, Sergei and the band were so responsive and helpful, making sure everything about our day was perfect....and it was! They learned songs that were special to us, and even incorporated my dad into the band. All of our guests have told us that the The Beats were the best band they've ever seen, not to mention how much fun we had with them! They were involved in all of our family traditions and SO MUCH FUN. If you have a group of people who like to dance and appreciate good music - book them immediately. I cannot have imagined our wedding without the The Beats there - it wouldn't have been the same!”
- Private User
We had The Beats at our reception and we couldn't be more happy that we did!! The professionalism the Sergei exhibits in the planning/booking process was unparalleled! Sergei was unbelievably helpful, always reachable and so easy to work with! The Beats brought a level of energy that was contagious! Having them perform at our wedding celebration made it an experience unlike other weddings! All of our guests were blown away from the talent, musical performance, vocals and especially how they worked the crowd! The great thing about having them at your wedding is that even if some of your guests aren't the dancing type, they still get to experience and enjoy an amazing live performance!! People have not stopped talking about how amazing this band was!!! We've all been sore for days from dancing the night away!! They had the youngest and oldest guests on the dance floor partying all night! The song selection was perfection!!! It reached everyone and the quality was incomparable!! The Beats truly made our night, and gave all of our guests a night to remember!! I can't thank them enough, they went above and beyond to create a spectacular show that every guest thoroughly enjoyed!!! We just loved you guys!!!”
- Jessica
This band was fantastic. I highly recommend them!!!!!”
- Emily
We immediately knew they were our band. We wanted a band that was personable and kept everyone on their feet dancing the whole night and they were simply perfect. They were prompt, polite, professional, and FUN!!! I’d highly recommend The Beats!”
- Jane
The most difficult choice we had to make for our wedding was music. We wanted talented and interesting musicians who would thoroughly entertain our guests. We hired The Beats and could not have been more pleased. This band is absolutely amazing! Sergei, the band leader is not only highly professional but is very accommodating. The band members and singers were so talented and fun. EVERYONE was happy. They announced our wedding party, and knew all of the things to do to make it a fun involved wedding reception. If you are looking for a band that you can trust to know what to do and do it well, as well as play great music then these are your guys!!! We could not have been happier We highly recommend The Beats!"”
- Leah
Our guests have not stopped talking about The Beats band from my daughter's recent wedding. We had beautiful strings for the ceremony, a keyboard player for the cocktail hour and then the band rocked the NE Aquarium until midnight. The first dance, father/daughter, mother/son dances were all great, the crowd got into them too. We tried to make the rounds to the tables but the tables were empty...Everyone was on the dance floor!! All night!! Just Awesome. The band loves what they do and it showed!”
- Gail
The were beyond amazing. We asked for high energy, they brought it and brought down the house. Since day one they treated us like family and were incredibly warm and professional. I highly recommend them.”
- Blanchelle
My husband and I were looking for a band for our September 2015 wedding. Given our relatively short engagement (11 months) we knew we had to get on it right away! Choosing a band with a large and diversified song list was important to us. After reviewing the band’s songlist it was clear that The Beats could literally play everything! I e-mailed Sergei, the band manager, and he couldn't have been more helpful or responsive. Our wedding date happened to be the last Saturday the The Beats had available for fall 2015 (another sign that they were very good and in high demand)! Being that we had to make the decision quickly, we booked the The Beats right away putting our trust in the online reviews. We were somewhat apprehensive about booking them before we ever heard them live but are so happy we went with our gut feeling! They were AMAZING. We had the saxophone and keyboard perform at cocktail hour and added a trumpet to complete an 8 piece band for the reception. All of the musicians and vocalists were SO talented. A special shout out to the saxophonist who was unreal-- he constantly was going out into the crowd and getting everyone involved while continuing to play. Our main priority was to have our dance floor packed the entire night and for the band to engage our guests. The band did not disappoint! Our dance floor was packed from the moment dinner finished until the last song. Many of our guests have commented that The Beats were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Working with the The Beats was a great experience from start to finish and I couldn’t recommend them more. Sergei kept us involved through the whole process and made sure the night ran seamlessly. Book The Beats, they will make sure you have the night of your lives!”
- Private User
Words cannot describe how awesome this band is! They play such a variety of music, are full of energy, are extremely friendly and most of all, they are true professionals! The singers sound exactly like the artist of the song they are singing! Everyone at the wedding started dancing the second The Beats started playing and didn't sit down until the wedding ended!! Do yourself a favor and hire The Beats for your event....you won't be disappointed at all!”
- Diane
The Beats were absolutely awesome. Leading up to the wedding, they were easy to work with, accommodated our special requests and on the day of the wedding they were the life of the party. The keyboardist played beautifully during the ceremony, the guitarist and percussion made for a lovely cocktail hour and when finally the band came out in full swing during the dance party, we had the time of our lives. It was such an engaging, charismatic performance with both the vocalists and the instrumentalists coming into the crowd to dance and play alongside the guests. The crowd went wild and we still get people telling us how much they enjoyed the band and the dancing. They went above and beyond and we definitely recommend them!”
- Erin
All I can say is WOW. The Beats band is outstanding from the very start to the Big Day! Sergei is extremely responsive to all e-mails in a very timely fashion. The musical capabilities of the band is just AMAZING. The instruments & vocals within the band are just awesome and their performance of the songs are flawless. Just outstanding! I would highly recommend The Beats over & over again.”
- Private User
The music was the one part of the wedding I really stressed over because I never hired a band before. The Beats looked like they would be a lot of fun, and we were NOT disappointed! We couldn't have made a better choice!!! The Beats was all about the party and FUN! Everybody was dancing from the time they started playing all the way to the end of the night (and our families & friends normally don't dance). Everyone at the reception had a great time thanks to the Band! I would recommend them to anyone for any kind of function!!!”
- Clara
Very friendly, professional, efficient, organized, and talented all in one package. We saw them preform at my best friend's wedding. Then when we got engaged we knew if they were available for our wedding we were going to set it up. And they delivered!”

Awesome band. Good music. Lots of fun. Great live band for a wedding!”
- Private User
All I can say, if we were to hire a band in the future again, The Beats would be the only choice!!! They provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception flawlessly. My husband and I loved every minute of it and every song. It was just perfect! Everyone from young to old danced! The band was simply AWESOME! I can not thank them enough! The Beats was the best thing we did for our wedding reception!”
- Katie
The Beats was such an accommodating band! They really made us feel like our wedding was special to them! Nobody wanted to leave our reception because the band was so full of energy and so much fun to watch! The lead singers and the sax player even danced with guests as they were performing!!! We got so many compliments from our guests and even the vendors the whole night! We would recommend this band if they are still available!!!”
- Patty
The Beats came recommended through one of my now husband's groomsmen, whose brother had brought them in to perform at his wedding. We were told we would not be disappointed - he was right. From the start, Sergei & the band were amenable to our requests - from learning specific songs to allowing my dad to get up and perform with them - they were game for it all. More so, they were more than willing to work with our budget and kept a really positive attitude throughout the entire process. I manage events for a living, and working with a vendor like this was a dream. Now to the actual wedding... It was on the property of a house all under tents and the band was more than prepared to handle load in and set up. They came in with more than enough time to prep, sound check and were ready to go well before guests arrived. They had an AMAZING pianist play our ceremony and cocktail hour (some guests thought he alone was the band and were impressed!) Then the real dancing began... the band (8-piece) played a wide variety of music that had our guests (literally 90% of them) on their feet through the majority of the reception, with the exception of when dinner was served. Everyone was raving about how much energy they brought and how fantastic their sound was. I couldn't agree more. There is nothing better than a live band at a wedding, and I am beyond thrilled we were able to work with The Beats to make ours such a special day. We highly recommend them!”
- Christine
The Beats was an absolute great band. From top to bottom quality service. Their manager provided great communication, he was responsive and wiling to talk on the phone several different times. In our wedding my wife and I, had many surprises. One for both our parents, one from the groomsmen to my wife. We also had unique entrances for each individual couple of the bridal party. All different songs we wanted them to play and they were executed perfectly. Their MC was very vocal and clear, everyone could understand her, she was also able to pronounce names very well. THE BAND! Oh my THE BAND. My wife and I were fortunate enough to have the 8 piece set for a great price. Each member of the band did a phenomenal job playing and singing. The two woman sang loud and clear everyone could hear them. The young man that sang as well was indeed the performer. This band is live! They come down and party with wedding party, all while still singing and performing with their instruments. The band gave you that innuendo feeling you get from the original artists. Last but not least, they made sure the ceremony was special. Providing the song and instruments we requested. This band made sure that our special day, was truly special. From beginning to end, they performed unbelievable. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a live party! Thank you for making sure my wife's and my day was truly unforgettable.”

These guys are simply awesome and are no ordinary "wedding band"! If you are searching within New England, and you want a fun band that can handle a variety of styles -- Motown, Rock, R&B, Oldies, Modern top 40, Soul – on a highest performance level, don’t look any further!!! Everyone in The Beats is an amazingly talented musician and an absolute joy to work with. They go above and beyond EVERY request to make sure EVERY detail is perfect. I can't even count how many people of different age, came up to me and my husband asking us where we found this band and telling us how awesome they were. They were absolutely phenomenal and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did and what an awesome wedding we had because of them - we love you guys!! BOOK THIS BAND!!!”

The Beats performed at our wedding this past August and we absolutely loved them!! Sergei, the band leader/manager is a true professional - always responsive by email, phone or in person. He walked us through the entire process beginning, middle to end and made us feel very comfortable leading up to the wedding which is not easy to do with an anxious bride! The band played at our cocktail hour, ceremony and reception and modified their sound to each setting. The combination of live music with DJ'd songs was the perfect blend for our reception. My husband and I didn't leave the dance floor all night! I also can't leave a review without a special shout out to their Sax player who is phenomenal and definitely draws a crowd. I would definitely recommend The Beats to anyone looking for a dance-filled and memorable wedding!”

From the planning, to the song list selection, to the actual wedding night, The Beats were organized, professional, affordable, accommodating and most importantly they sound great. Sergei the manager/drummer was in constant contact in the months, weeks, days and hours leading up to the reception and thoroughly and promptly answered all my questions. They have a huge song list to choose from and they even learned a new song just for us. In fact, not only did they learn this random obscure song for us, they even let me steal the mic and sing it to my bride. It gets better though, because when I missed my que to start singing they stopped, helped me to see where it was and then started again from the beginning so that this amature could get it right. Many people at the wedding told me how much they loved the band that night and I did not get a single even slightly negative remark from anyone! If you have a chance to book this band do it now you will be so happy that you did.”

They were so great and easy to work with. Sergei was a pleasure to deal with. On the wedding day, The Beats played an unbelievable song list, great musicians. They kept the wedding dancing all night.”

Fantastic band! No one stopped dancing for the entire 4 hours they played. They we're exactly what I was looking for with a great mix of oldies/motown and current dance music.”

This is an A class group of pros!!! They have a lot of experience, and they are really fun to work with!! We were in awe of their talents and that we could get them for our wedding, they are booking for 2017 already. They are a complete package - I would recommend them to anyone who wants an all around band that is capable of managing any audience no matter how diverse. At our event we had all kinds of different demands from swing, Sinatra to rock, country, oldies and the currents and they handled all of it with grace and poise. Highly recommend!”

My husband and I had The Beats as our wedding band in August of 2015. We booked them blindly (very far in advance) and did not see them live before booking. We were a little worried to do this but had heard great things and their schedule was filling up very quickly. That being said, I honestly cannot say enough good things about them. They were absolutely AMAZING!! We were not only impressed with them, we were blown away. From the very first interaction with Sergei (band manager) through email, he was accommodating and helpful. Throughout the time before the wedding they also offered advice for other vendors that they have had success with in the past. DURING the reception, they kept the crowd dancing and everyone had an amazing time whether they were 25 or 98 years old. The musicians were engaging and involved the crowd with many songs. The lead singers both had phenomenal voices and they had such a wide range of songs. Everyone was raving about them all night and after the wedding. The Beats truly made our reception a blast and I cannot imagine our wedding without them. If you can get them, book them without hesitation! Seriously awesome band, all around!”

The musician talent level of the entire band was unparalleled, to the point where I would have paid significantly more to have them perform! They can cover any style/genre, and kept the party going until the very end. Our guests were very complementary of our decision to have the live band for our reception – The Beats really MADE THIS PARTY!!! Thank you guys!”
- Jen
The Beats were really awesome! They played more oldies at the beginning and more recent hits later in the evening. They got everyone up and dancing – they felt the crowd very well! I also arranged to sing a song with them for my wife and they did perfect backing me up! They were also great about adjusting the volume and making it just right for the venue. I can’t say enough good things about the band. We were really lucky to have them!”
- Karla
The best!!! If you want a professional, reliable, talented band that will get your wedding hopping, you must hire them! I would not hesitate to recommend The SB to anyone looking for a fun live band that is easy to work with. Sergei and all the band members are so charming and a pleasure to work with!”

The Beats was a hit at our wedding! We didn't want them to stop playing! Their vocals and sax are stellar and they just produce a fun atmosphere. The Beats band really knew how to get the party started and get all the guests and even the personnel of the venue dancing! Sergei and The Beats were so great to work with and I definitely recommend them! ”
