REFERENCES “The lighting from the wedding was absolutely amazing!!! You really delivered on your promise for colors and transitions. We will gladly provide referrals and recommendations to all family and friends!” Renee & Steve “On behalf of all of us on the committee and at S.S.D.S. we really want to thank you for helping make last night's dance excellent! Thank you so much for the gorgeous lighting, taking pictures, following the song list so diligently, coming early, and being flexibility with requests! I continue to get rave reviews on the party and how touching and memorable it was.” Solomon Schecter Day School Semi-Formal Committee “If you want a party or event where your guests never stop tapping their feet or take a break from the dance floor, Sam Lurie from The Beantown Sound is your DJ. I worked beside Sam as a photographer at a recent Bat-Mitzvah with about 200 guests. I was amazed at his ability to smoothly orchestrate games and dancing while involving both children and adults at just the right moments. The dance floor was never empty! Sam has a great sense of humor and is always professional. His years of experience coupled with his enthusiasm make him an entertainer that will exceed your expectations!” Jennifer Wood “I had the opportunity to work with Sam Lurie and The Beantown Sound on several occasions last year. My auto detailing business sponsored several large car shows to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Each show had between 400 - 1000 people in attendance. The Beantown Sound - who also sponsored and helped to organize these events, was on hand to DJ and keep the crowd entertained. Sam and his team set a fantastic mood at these events, there was never a dull moment. The music selection was perfect, and Sam's creative games and prize giveaways kept everyone in good spirits. The shows were a massive success, in great part to Sam and The Beantown Sound. We raised a lot of money for St. Jude's, and everyone had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Samuel Lurie and The Beantown Sound for any occasion or event requiring entertainment. I look forward to working with him again in the future!” Alex Jarive “Thanks again for everything! The dinner dance was a huge success and the kids let me know that they had a great time. The up-lighting made the room look magical!” Pam “Thanks for running a wonderful party on Saturday! You managed to keep all those kids happy and participating in everything – not an easy thing to do! I was pleased that the kids were pretty well behaved, but a lot of credit goes to you and your team for running everything so smoothly and being so clearly in control of all the fun. Tori had a fantastic time and says that all her friends are raving about it. It was the best we could have hoped for and, again, we thank you for making our special day end with a spectacular party. We loved that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. I didn’t realize that the circle slow dance was one of the ‘games’ – that’s so funny – I commented to my friend about how cute it was that all the kids were dancing as couples. Tori explained it all to me afterwards. Again, your mix of dance and games/activities was just great!” Cindy & Mike “Sam Lurie made our wedding incredible. Before the event he sent me easy-to-understand paperwork so I could give him the information to tailor the music to exactly what I wanted. He was totally honest and transparent throughout, answering my questions openly so my expectations were carefully managed. He wanted to know how to pronounce all names correctly - a detail that seems small but that I have seen messed up at countless affairs! My mother has quirky music taste and he even made her a "Natalie Megamix" with 30-45 seconds of her favorite songs, so we could dance to them without ruining the flow of the party and so she could feel special. He counseled me about parent-child dance choices, was able to communicate with me largely by email, and just made everything fantastic. Cannot say enough good things. I'd hire him again anytime - he is the consummate professional and knows how to make people get up and have a great night!” Audrey Beerman “Sam, Thank you for giving us such an awesome ceremony and reception. Everyone loved the music and had a great night!” Rachel & Will “Good music, good involvement of kids & adults, great personality of SAM, great timing of music & games. Our guests couldn't stop talking about Sam. My daughter's friends told her that it was the best party they went to all year. We have photos that show every single person on the dance floor and all the tables empty.” Gail “Sam Lurie was outstanding ... he kept everyone engaged-especially the children.” Sam “Just a quick note to let you know that everything was great on Saturday. We received many compliments from both kids and adults about the high quality of the DJ! Yay for Sam - He was great. I found it very easy to work with him and he seemed to know just what the kids would like. Everyone had fun! I would be happy to serve a reference for him or your services at any time. Thanks so much.” Ellen “Sam was so in tune with the kids and kept them busy and happy. He got adults involved but was not pushy. It was perfect!” Karen “Dear Sam, I want to thank you for a wonderful evening at my daughter's Bat-Mitzvah. It was incredible and everyone had a lot of fun. I can't wait for my son's Bar-Mitzvah (in a couple of years) so we may have the pleasure of having you again..... Thank you.” Sarela “Sam and his assistant were great-very responsive. Lots of energy without incredibly loud. Good games! Kids and adults both had good times. Great job all around.” Kathy “Hi Sam, I just wanted to thank you for doing a great job DJing. Everyone at the party had a fantastic time. It was great to see my daughter have such a big smile on her face. The kids were entertained the entire time. You really created the environment we were looking for. My friends from out of town were raving about you ....Thanks again for making it lots of fun ...... We'll be in touch for our other kids simcha's. Take care.” Shari “Good Morning Sam, I want to thank you for making our Bar Mitzvah go so smoothly. You made the event! You were able to transition from candle lighting to games to dance songs - you involved the adults ...... You received many compliments from adults who had never been to a Bar Mitzvah before, and from "seasoned veterans" of Bar Mitzvahs-they thought you did a wonderful job. Please be available in 3 years for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah! All my best.” Leslie “Sam really gets how to make a party that the kids and adults can enjoy. The DJ was always smiling and seemed to have fun as well.” Myra “Hi Sam, I have finally sent my last guest home and I wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for the wonderful job you did Saturday night. You were fantastic - handling all the kids, from the games to the dancing, to giving away the prizes. It was all great! So many people came over to me and said what a great DJ I had. I felt so lucky that... I ended up with you, Sam. You were easy to work with, always had everything under control and your staff was right on top of everything. I know the kids had a great time with you! You made the night's activities run smoothly and that made my night fun and relaxed. my daughter was thoroughly overjoyed! You made her feel special and honored! Superb job- Well Done!!! Thank you for all your hard work and making many wonderful memories for my family and me!!!! Best Regards.” Wendy “Sam made it very entertaining. Thank You!” Cecelia “Sam, I planned to contact you and thank you for doing a fantastic job at my son's Bar Mitzvah. Everyone truly had a wonderful time. The songs and games you selected were perfect - my kids are still talking about them. We were also so pleased with the candle lighting ceremony. I am sure we will be calling on you again when it's time to plan the next Bat Mitzvah. Many, many thanks!” Karen “We had a wonderful night!!! It was unbelievable and will be forever remembered. You worked so closely with us to produce a very special night for our son, and I thank you for that - he clearly had a ball. You're a very talented professional which is why we picked you the 2nd time around and hopefully we'll continue this tradition with our third child.” Aviram “Thank God for Sam! He has such an amazing preparation process that once the reception begins, he is in control. He takes down every last detail and works with you and the site to make a timeline that will work for everyone. He has a fantastic "radio" voice and pronounced everyone's name correctly, and there were some toughies! He knows how to play to the crowd and seamlessly transitions his music to cater to your guests. His lighting and sound systems are amazing and he is absolutely worth every penny we paid to have him there. It was never difficult to reach him and he was always willing to take a call to go over any questions I had.” Rachel “Thanks Sam! We all had a wonderful time. My daughter's friends thought it was "awesome".” Jane “I would like to thank you for an incredible evening. My first impressions of you being the consummate professional while seeing you at Andover Country Club were spot on. You and your team did a tremendous job and I would be honored to provide a reference for you if you so desire. Thank you again for making my son's event such a memorable one.” Sam “Having you part of our team helped to make this an extremely successful event. We thank you for you time and effort and look forward to working with you again in the future. The karaoke was the hit of the day and we all appreciate your hard work. Thanks again!” Marilyn “This is to formally thank you for the wonderful job you did at our Homecoming Dance. We were impressed by your professionalism, expertise, and overall great performance. We look forward to having you again.” Dena “Hi, Sam. We've just about recovered from all the fun Saturday night -- you did a great job keeping everyone entertained!!! ......Thanks so much.” Michelle “To the best, I want you to know turning “50” is not an easy thing. Honestily, I was beginning to feel as they say "over the hill"…….BUT, guess what? From the minute I walked into the most incredible surprise party my husband and daughters had but together so perfectly for me; I felt young again.. no very young again. Guess what? I owe some much to you!! You had this party moving and grooving just like the good olde days! The music was incredible!! I had no idea my husband was such a limbo dancer ;) everyone was asking at work about this great Dj and company. I know you’ll be getting a lot of referrals. I just hope I get invited and I get to boogie again all nite!!! Thank you again for making this birthday a VERY special night!!!” Dotty “As always, thanks for doing a great job DJ’ing!” Joyce “Thank you again for the great job you did Sunday night. You knew exactly what to play and kept the room hopping. The kids (and adults) didn’t want to stop and had a ball. You can use my name if you ever need a reference.” Ina “Thanks, Sam. I loved your choice of music. Mr. Dana even used some of your songs in the slide show!” Patrice “I just wanted to thank you again for all your help with Rachel's bat mitzvah celebration. I can't tell you how many people have told me that they really enjoyed the DJ and how much fun they had at the party. The teachers said that your games were wonderful in terms of team building, etc., and everyone seemed to appreciate the fact that you involved all the guests in the activities, not just the kids. The volume of the music was just right and the choices of music appropriate for the audience. I really can't think of a single negative thing, except that I wish the party had gone on longer. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know planning a simcha.” Ami “Everything worked as planned. Sam was open to suggestions and tried to accommodate everyone. Looking forward to using your services again.” Sarela “Thank you so much for your generous support yesterday. We had a FABULOUS day. Sam Lurie and his assistant did a wonderful job. So accommodating and easy to work with. Their contribution did so much for the atmosphere we were trying to create. Again, many, many thanks.” Julie “I wanted to let you know that Sam was fabulous today as were his two assistants. The kids had a great time- I don't think it could have gone any better. Thanks so much!” Tracy |
