Nice venue to see a concert as it's easy to get to in Times Square…read more We recently caught GWAR here and it was a blast! They have been around the metal scene for a long time and still put on a crazy fun show. Just be aware if you're in the standing room pit area you will get soaked with all colors of fluid shooting out of character's orifices! There is a large standing room only area on the main floor, an elevated standing area behind that which we score a perfect spot along the railing to view the show, along with elevated seating behind that. Not the biggest venue but good sound and sightlines. Coat check available along with a bar selling overprices drinks.

Bravura worked my wedding in November. Couldn't have been happier with everything…read more We had two musicians for our ceremony, along with a DJ/MC and drummer/saxophone at the reception. They were absolutely incredible. Brought such high energy the entire time and insured that everyone was not only on the dance floor, but having an blast there as well. They do a great job of having a feel for the moment and knowing when to let a song breathe and when to cut it off early (which is such an important thing at a wedding). The entire process leading up to the big day was also great. They walked us through all of our options and worked with us to ensure that we got the exact type of experience/music we were looking for. These folks are absolute pros. Highly recommend using them for any event (especially a wedding).

DJ Joe was friendly and accommodating from the moment we met him. He asked us for suggestions for…read moresongs that we knew would get our party dancing, and he knew what to do with the list. Once he got going, he read the crowd so well that the dance floor was almost always full. Of course, the kitchen needs to stay on a schedule, but as the bride, I was delighted just to see everyone having fun. DJ Joe's not your typical young DJ but he's a good listener and has a LOT of experience, which I found invaluable. He's also so affordable compared to a lot of others I checked out in NYC. I still get compliments on how fun the reception was. -VW

We hired Brian to DJ our in Milwaukee after hearing him at a friend's wedding in Healdsburg, CA…read more After hearing him in person, I don't believe we actually even looked into any other DJ because he was so awesome. He knows how to really read the crowd and get everybody up and dancing. We wanted a dance party for a wedding and we definitely got it. Brian is known for actually "DJ'ing" as in mixing songs - -not just playing one song after the next. He has a full on system set up to mix anything from Robin Thicke to Aerosmith and make it sound phenomenal. Brian was really easy to work with, accommodating, and was always available for a conference call throughout the planning process. He even flew in the night before to make sure there were no hang ups at the airport.

We were married in Hawaii and had two receptions, and we hired Brian as our DJ for our NYC…read morereception. He exceeded our expectations. We spoke on the phone twice and I could tell he was a genuinely nice guy. He was very clear on set up so the look would be exactly what we wanted for our party without any surprises, and B-Boy Productions sets up an online client tool for each event that allows you to put in as much or as little detail for your event as your heart desires. We put in a few specifics and then let him do his thing. One of the first things I noticed at the reception is Brian's speaking voice; it is very pleasant in tone and his announcements sounded great. He also worked with us to coordinate music for our slideshow presentation and I just felt that he could roll with anything and be counted on -- and he could -- which allowed us to relax and enjoy the evening. Another thing I appreciated was his desire to be clear on what WE wanted for the party. For instance, we didn't want impromptu speeches so he never gave a microphone to anyone without asking us if it was okay - -and he did it in a subtle way. We were able to communicate with just a glance or a nod. I liked that he was very attentive and in sync with us the whole evening. But no matter how nice a DJ is, you hire them for the music and their ability to get people dancing and this is where Brian really shines. He knows how to read a crowd and play the right music to keep everyone dancing, and that is just what he did. Anyone who approached him was greeted with a smile. He played all of our specific requests and was brilliant at mixing in (random) guest song requests. We found his music collection to be vast (as it should be) and if he doesn't have a song (which we didn't encounter), he will get it on the spot. After seeing some of the iPhone videos of the reception at the end of the night (funny stuff) it is clear that Brian really kept the energy up and the party going without it being too "club-like" in feel. After all, it's a wedding, not a rave. Everyone loved him -- from the young to the old. Guests raved about him and we left our reception feeling like we had just thrown the best party in town. If you are looking for a dependable, solid DJ who really gets it and can appeal to a wide age range, Brian's your man. I can't recommend him enough. We were extremely pleased with our reception and we will look to hire him again for future parties.

Do yourself a favor and hire Colleen (Sugartown Industries) right now. From the first meeting,…read moreColleen was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly well organized. In our introductory call, we spent an hour discussing the desire flow of the event, room acoustics, and musical styles. She also provided us with planning documents to help narrow down song choices and construct a musical timeline for the day. During the reception -- from cocktail hour to our all-out dance party -- every song was spot on. Our guests had an absolute blast. Thank you for making our day so very special!

I am not really into dancing, but I am almost certain I could have been a serious contender on…read more"Dancing with the Stars" at my wedding reception. Thanks due to Wells Crandall of Sugartown Industries - an amazingly talented, down to earth DJ who would likely sooner face plant into your wedding cake than play "The Chicken Dance" at your reception. Wells works to avoid cliche (and let's be real, boring!) songs and aspects of a wedding reception ::cough:: bouquet toss ::cough:: My husband and I met with Wells three times before the wedding to plan the ultimate playlist. These meetings were relaxed and fun, as Wells has a cool demeanor that makes meeting with him seem like an old friend. The day of my wedding I was a bit nervous that the music might be too mod for my family's conservative midwestern ways ... this was not the case! The genius of Wells is that he quickly picks up on the crowd's tastes, and incorporates a variety of music that is both popular and fun. No song is played in duration (unless the crowd is raging), and the variety and lack of slow songs keeps things moving. When the dancing portion of the evening began, my guests flooded the dance floor like there was no tomorrow. I saw some family members bust moves I did not know they were physically capable of! In an unwieldy testament of the awesome music, my guests did the following (amazing!) things: - A double dutch dance with an invisible jumprope - Lots of (literally) ass-busting breakdancing - A human train that weaved throughout The W hotel - Shattered many a glass on the dance floor ( yeah, we know how to party) - Refused to leave! As the clock struck midnight, we demanded one more song ... and our wish was granted. If it were socially acceptable, I would build a tiny musical shrine of old CDs dedicated to the fabulousness that is Sugartown Industries. Instead, I will make due with the playlist Wells provided after the wedding, which I listen to often to remind me of what a great event we had with the help of Sugartown Industries. Wells sent us a copy of the entire playlist from the cocktail hour and rececption. I obviously made an iTunes playlist and listen to it daily as a reminder of Wells' outstanding contributions to our lovely wedding.

I was skeptical at first of getting a place that provided dj and photography services. However,…read morethis place was recommended by our venue and I am glad we went with their recommendation. The photographer and video personnel were top notch. I cannot wait until we receive our pictures and video from our wedding. Some of the previews we received have been incredible. We also received a free blown up print of one of our engagement photos which we cannot wait to frame. Now the big one was their DJ and MC. These guys CRUSHED IT. There were other events going on during our wedding and our ballroom sounded like a night club from the lobby. It was exactly what my wife and I wanted and everyone told us they had a great time. Even the staff working the venue told us that we had the best DJ and had the best party. They also brought extra things like glow sticks and sunglasses and it was just one huge party. Also, splurge for the 10 person photobooth. Everyone loves photo booths at receptions. The more people you can fit into one the better!

They played a song of the same title sung by a different artist that 1. sounded awful 2. was way faster than the song we chose so the foxtrot dance we practiced for 4/4 common time looked completely ridiculous and off beat. Guests commented to us that our dance looked terrible. Months later I am still profoundly upset by this error and the memories of our first dance as husband and wife being ruined. I will recommend to my friends that are newly engaged to NOT ever choose Steven Scott for the dj services. You only get one first dance.
