BOOKING THE BAND The Beantown Swing Orchestra specializes in performing at weddings, corporate functions, fundraisers, and other events where it's important that everyone gets on the dance floor. That's right, and that means all generations, including seniors, who grew up with this music and love it; college kids, who love our music's energy and drive and can relate pretty easily to our band members; kids and teens, who look upon us as rock stars; and everyone in between. Regardless whether your guests swing dance or not, we will get them on their feet. The video compilation on the right is taken from a wedding reception that we played at this year. It should give you an idea of how danceable our music is, how well it is enjoyed by all ages, and that no venue or party is too small for us! Also, for every event that we do, we will include a DVD video similar to this (but with much more footage), as well a CD with selected songs that we performed at the event, and links to mp3s of all the songs from the performance, at no extra cost. We use high quality audio recording equipment for all our performances, and even the sound for the video is taken directly from this. Not even professional videographers can come close to the sound we get from our videos, and we do it all for free! You can't beat the value. You get eighteen top-notch musicians plus audio and video momentos from the dance portion of your event, all for the price of some DJs or even a much smaller band! ONE-STOP SHOPPING ![]() Not only can we provide the musical entertainment for your party, but we offer you a package deal for many of the other elements you may require. These are vendors we work with all the time, and we know they can do a great job.
![]() We will travel anywhere in New England and parts of New York to play your event. If you are still searching for a venue, we highly recommend our two favorite places, which happen to be completely different from each other: one is a barn in a quaint New England village, and the other is a posh ballroom in the heart of Boston.
The Barn at Gibbett Hill - Groton, Mass.
This rustic yet elegant space has the best acoustics for a big band out of all the venues we have played.
That's because the stage area has a wooden overhang that simulates a "half shell" which not only projects the sound evenly but also gives it a special "warm" quality that cannot be easily reproduced at other venues.
The sound is so good that we made a demo CD from a live performance there.
The restored 1906 post-and-beam barn is located on a farm in the picturesque town of Groton, just an hour's drive from Boston.
The Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel - Boston, Mass.
This is where we filmed the climactical scene with Kate Hudson, Dane Cook, and Jason Biggs for the upcoming movie My Best Friend's Girl.
The producers chose the most luxurious setting in one of the fanciest hotels in Boston for this movie, in which we play an upscale wedding band known as the "Beantown Swing Orchestra."
For your event, book the same band at the same location that millions of people will soon recognize!
We also played a consulate ball here that was emceed by R.D. Sahl and included delegates from several dozen foreign countries.
