About

I have been doing music for events since 1999, and the thing I can most offer to a client is my undivided attention. From your first contact with me until day of, you are only dealing with me! There are so many large DJ companies out there, but wouldn't you rather have a boutique handling your special event? I have also done event planning,so I am able to offer guidance in areas that music only DJ's cannot, so your event runs smoothly. I'm a stickler for details, and that's why I have a intensive in person meeting one month before the big day..and that way there are no surprises! I hit a home run every time; because I have to- it's my name on the door.

Excellent DJ

DJ Harsh did a wonderful job at my wedding. He was very friendly, open, and personable. Wanted to make sure all our requests were forefront to make sure that our wedding was indeed our night. He reached out to us for a teleconference to make sure everything runs smoothly prior to our event. He was even kind enough to make last minute changes/additions to our music list during the night of the event to make sure my guests were having a great time as well. Totally recommend him without any reservations for your event.

He's the best!

I met Harsh through my planner and we immediately clicked. Our large wedding was cancelled and we decided to move forward with a micro wedding. Harsh was not only willing to help us out, but he was genuinely excited and enthusiastic about our micro wedding / summer soiree. While Harsh is a talented and amazing DJ - we actually hired him to MC our wedding and handle our playlist. Harsh helped me curate a playlist that matched the vibe of our wedding, and he did it perfectly. I sent Harsh a mock playlist via Spotify and from there he organized it so that it would flow with our wedding. He also cut some songs down for us, he pulled music from an old mp3 playlist that we sent him, and he made it all work perfectly. At the wedding, Harsh oversaw the music and also MC'd like champ. The music set the vibe for our wedding and I have Harsh to thank. I recommend him a million times over and will hire him the next time we throw a party!

Incredible Wedding DJ!

DJ Harsh was phenomenal for our wedding! Prior to the wedding, he met with us twice to get a sense of us as a couple and the type of wedding songs we wanted. He asked us for specific songs that “must be played” and songs that “would not be played” and he mixed the “must play” list perfectly into the reception and stuck to his word on the “do not play” list—even when some guests requested those songs!

Thanks to DJ Harsh, the dance floor was packed the entire night. He understood us as a couple very well and understood the crowd energy to keep the party strong all night long. He also acted as the perfect MC for the night, always keeping things moving while being professional and fun. Importantly, he never made the night about him, tried to be a stand-up comedian, or weirdly danced with the guests (all of which we’ve seen from far too many other DJs!). We highly recommend DJ Harsh!

Excellent choice for Indian-fusion weddings and events

When planning our Indian fusion wedding in Chicago, we knew we wanted vendors who understood how to balance different cultures, and who could relate to our creative vision for our wedding. Right off the bat, we knew Harsh would be a perfect fit. He met with us in person to talk about his approach to his work, and to get an idea of our expectations and musical style. We hired him immediately, and from then on he was extremely attentive, communicative and easy to get a hold of. Harsh was able to point out and figure out lots of smaller details that we wouldn't have thought about -- like rigging our garden space to mic the priest during our ceremony. He's super familiar with Indian wedding customs as well as American, and his wild sense of humor makes him a great host. We highly recommend Harsh and will definitely hire him again for future celebrations.

The Best DJ in Chicago!

Harsh is an absolute blast to work with! When you first meet him you feel like you've known him for years. He is extremely nice but also an encyclopedia of pop culture knowledge. We wanted to play a mix of pop music and Latin music and Harsh was well versed in both. If you're looking for a fun DJ who knows how to get people to dance he's your guy!

We loved our experience with Harsh! He was easy to work with, has a great sense of humor, and made our wedding a great dance party. Even though our wedding was on smaller side (~90 people) & a diverse mix of people with very different music tastes, he kept the dance floor full. There were a bunch of compliments about him, including one friend that called him a "national treasure"! If you are looking for a DJ, you can't go wrong with Harsh!

Our venue (Carnivale) recommended Harsh and we are so glad they did! Our guests are still talking about what an amazing dance party it was. From first contact Harsh was super professional and great to work with (not to mention, hilarious) He gave us great guidance on creating the perfect playlist and seemed to genuinely care about us and what we wanted for the day. He kept the flow of the wedding going and the energy level up the entire night, perfectly. Our dancefloor was literally packed the entire night- exactly what we hoped for. I can't say enough great things about Harsh- he's a great person and the best at what he does. We're thinking about planning another party just so we can book Harsh. :)

Dj Harsh was an extreme blessing to us for our October 2017 wedding! We had our wedding planner leave us a week before our wedding, resulting in having to plan a whole new wedding. He met with us right away and was so understanding of the circumstances. We had so much going on that he helped us pick the best choices for the songs we wanted and even researched better piano covers of our favorites!!! His upbeat personality was definitely what we needed to brighten the day and get us excited again for our "new" wedding! Thank you Dj Harsh for giving us a beautiful wedding and we loved having you there to celebrate with!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
