Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 22, 2023•From Thompson, CT
Mama Train came into the station on time, on point, and delivered a fantastic evening for our party. Their set list was exactly what we were looking for; the volume was dialed in beautifully throughout the night for different transitions, and they made it really special. All of the guests thought they were terrific, and the GM of our venue wants to have them available to recommend to future guests when considering a live band. They loved them so much that they also plan to contact Mama Train for their New Year's Eve event. I would highly recommend them! Thanks so much, Sumitra!

Mama Train has an excellent set list of tunes that truly elevated our event. Their sophisticated sound and expert musicians created the perfect atmosphere, I had guests commenting to me how good the music was. Thank you for making our recent gathering so memorable.

Incredibly talented band! Worked with us regarding all of the weird stuff we asked them to do per a mystery masquerade ball (playing immediately after the end of an acting performance, stopping when fog comes out, etc.) and they were incredibly kind despite it all! They dressed the part and blew us away with how incredible their sound is overall. I have already recommended them to others, people asked me where I found them... I highly recommend working with Mama Train if you have the opportunity. You won't be disappointed!

Mama Train is professional, talented, and delightful. Their rendition of At Last and The First Time was hauntingly beautiful. I wanted a violinist for my wedding ceremony and although not part of their jazz trio they found one for me and he was awesome. I can't recommend them enough. You will not regret hiring them for your special event.

Cruise Ship Event•Reviewed on August 14, 2022•From Deep River, CT
We hired Mama Train Band for our Essex Riverboat Dinner Cruise company outing on July 15, 2022. Mama Train Band’s sound was in perfect harmony with the evening setting on the river. We hired the full band, all of whom are very talented musicians who perform with such joy! Classic, vintage jazz tunes were performed with rich vocals and amazing instrumentation, and provided pure enjoyment for all of our guests. Philip and Sumitra were incredibly responsive to our initial booking inquiry and were consistently responsive, professional, accommodating and kind throughout the entire event planning process. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Bravo!!

Hi Robin,

Mama Train played at our wedding last weekend and they were AMAZING. During the planning stages they were professional, prompt, super friendly, and accommodating to our special requests. On stage, they were joyful, energetic, fun, and most importantly TALENTED. Our guests were impressed and delighted by their unique vibes, and we were so happy to dance the night away to their music. We would absolutely hire them again. Mama Train, we can not thank you enough!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 1, 2019•From Fairfield, CT
This 5 star review is easy to write. Of all the vendors in our wedding, Sumitra and Philip were the most pleasant and responsive. They asked thoughtful questions, were forthcoming with concerns and accomodated specially requested contemporary numbers. They even offered a preview listening of the song for our first dance. Didn't miss any detail and worked smoothly through logistics, even after traveling from 2 hours away. No divas, just class-act talent! Along with our guests, we were enchanted by every minute of their performance. Thanks Mama Train for memories that will last us the rest of our lives. We'll be recommending you to everyone we can.

So so wonderful. The band showed up an hour before the event and was extremely accommodating of everything from our stress-ridden set-up to our over friendly dog. We were so impressed by the talent of this band and have heard glowing reviews from everyone who attended our event.

My wife and I are so grateful to have had Mama Train as our wedding band. You all are so incredibly talented, kind, professional, and lovely and you absolutely killed it at the wedding! We can't even tell you how many guests came up to us during the night asking about how we found such a unique band and just generally singing your praises. Everyone found it so refreshing to be at a wedding with a different sort of band and fell in love with your sound and look.

Celebration•Reviewed on May 3, 2019•From Old Lyme, CT
We hired Mama Train to play at our "Renewal of Vows' ceremony. They were absolutely fantastic. They were very accommodating when I asked if they could learn how to play a song that my husband and I liked and were just a delight to deal with.
The manager of the Inn where we had our event was so impressed with them that she put them on their recommended wedding band list.
They're extremely professional, very talented and just lovely people.
Don't hesitate to book them - We highly recommend them.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 17, 2016•From Jaffrey, NH
Mama Train were amazing. Very professional and extremely nice. Showed up early to prep and be ready to perform on time, and sounded beautiful when I heard them. Unfortunately due to getting ready for the ceremony and dealing with a last minute emergency, I didn't get to watch/listen to them perform as much as I wanted to, but the guests raved about them, which did not surprise me. I would recommend Mama Train to anybody looking for live music in a heart beat, and will look for a reason to hired them again in the future in a less busy event so I can just sit and enjoy them perform more. If they aren't too busy on world tours and at award shows. THANKS MAMA TRAIN!
