Amazing DJ!!!

We used DJ Khiladi a few weeks ago for our 16th anniversary party! He literally made our party!! Not only did he play the most incredible music all night it was the amount of detail and care he puts into planning each event so it’s exactly what you want. We wanted a nice cocktail hour with more recent Bollywood love songs .. and then dinner we went old school Bollywood and dancing was a perfect mix between Punjabi, Hindi and even a few Taylor swift for the kids! The vibe was exactly what we wanted and the music during every part of the party was so fun and exactly our taste! Along with playing incredible music Sanjay is just the nicest guy to work with. He is attentive to your needs and is just a great human all around. We were so lucky to have him DJ our party and can’t wait to have him at a party again in the future!

A Powerhouse of Talent

Sanjay is a triple threat – a DJ, dholi, and emcee (but also so much more than that.) He’s extremely organized, detail oriented and versatile, so music was the last thing we had to worry about during our 3-day wedding weekend. Sanjay sent us countless emails, scheduled thorough video calls, created mixes for our families’ dance performances, and handled last minute timeline changes like a pro. All while having a smile on his face!

From the three-clap garba to the open dance floor, our guests had an AMAZING experience. In fact, we had multiple individuals wanting his contact information after. You simply can’t go wrong with Sanjay. Out of all of our wedding vendors, we will miss talking to him the most! He treated us like family, and never like clients. Consider yourself lucky if you can book him for your event.

DJ Khiladi is one of the most profressional DJs in the business. He is very thorough and easy to communicate with. His work is phenomenal. He learns the couples likes/dislikes and also feeds off the crowd in order to provide a great night of entertainment. His engineering background helps provide a complete audio experience for the event, so that no detail gets left behind. I'm so glad we had such a great DJ that both my husband and I trusted completely.

DJ Khiladi was the DJ for our baraat, cocktail hour and reception, and we cannot say enough good things about working with him! Put simply, DJ Khiladi is prompt, professional, organized and talented. He was helpful throughout the entire process – he made suggestions about the best setup and equipment for our guest size and venue, but was flexible when we wanted to wait to make certain decisions. As the wedding date approached, he reached out to us to set up meetings and was willing to take as much time as necessary to ensure that our event would run smoothly. DJ Khiladi has a lot of experience, which was evident when he laid out a suggested timeline, bringing up questions and issues we had not even thought about! He worked directly with the venue event manager to finalize all details prior to the wedding, and I didn’t have to worry about anything the week of the wedding. DJ Khiladi’s talent is also impressive. He edited our first dance song and entrance songs with very little direction. DJ Khiladi can keep the party going all night with a great mix of English, Punjabi and Hindi music. . In addition, we received so many compliments on his work during and after our reception. We would love to work with DJ Khiladi again!

Sanjay did an amazing job at my wedding and reception. He goes above and beyond for his clients and makes sure that everything is perfect. He takes the time to understand the client's preferences and makes the music selection according to the client's taste. I would definitely recommend him to everyone that I know. :)

Amazing!! Best decision ever!

We were referred to Swara Sagar by our wedding planner as having a DJ that could provide the fusion wedding experience that we dreamed of was very important to us. Sanjay traveled to us in Iowa and provided everything that we had dreamed of and more. He helped us out from beginning to end. We had several planning meetings to make sure that he understood our vision. When it came to the day of the wedding, Sanjay was there to set up and we had nothing to worry about. He coordinated the sound with our musician and officiant for our outdoor ceremony. When the real fun started he outdid any DJ/MC that I have ever seen before. He provided the perfect fusion of American and Bollywood music that my midwestern family and Indian friends all enjoyed. The party quite literally never stopped. Sanjay knew that my now husband is Gujarati and threw in some special touches like a Garba song. His equipment is top notch and the light show was absolutely phenomenal. He provided a performance that everyone who attended will be talking about for a long time to come.

Working with Sanjay was absolutely phenomenal. By the end of it all, we consider him a dear friend and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. If you are in need of an Indian DJ, hire Swara Sagar now! Thank you Sanjay for being a part of our big day. We hope to see you again soon!

Incredible Experience!

DJ Khiladi made my baraat and reception a truly
memorable one. We had our baraat on a snow-filled day and his music and
high-energy dhol playing still got most of the crowd outside and dancing.
In addition, the reception music was exactly what me and my wife wanted. He
effortlessly mixed between Hindi music and a wide range of American music
(older songs, hip-hop, pop) while adding his own flair to it. He even came
out onto the dance floor with his dhol at the end of the night!

DJ Khiladi was truly incredible

DJ Khiladi + his team were absolutely amazing. DJ Khiladi put so much time and care into our wedding--above and beyond what we would have ever expected. From the dhol at the baraat, to the live music performed at our cocktail hour, to the open dance floor, our guests raved about the music. Also, the sound quality and volume were perfect (DJ Khiladi is a sound engineer, so he knows what he is doing)! And finally, it was truly a pleasure to work with DJ Khiladi, who is very kind, thorough, and friendly. We hope we can work with him again and will recommend him to all of our friends!

Sanjay and his team absolutely killed it at our wedding! Not only was he extremely helpful during the months leading up to the event, but his professionalism and skill as a DJ really came through throughout our entire weekend. As soon as we first approached him to be our DJ, he went out of his way to make sure we were prepared every step of the way, not only for music, but for logistics concerning other areas as well. He regularly took time to go over any concerns with us (despite having a newborn child), and was extremely helpful in his suggestions. During the event, I had lots of people come up to me to let me know how amazing Sanjay was doing with the music. Most agreed he was fire! I would absolutely recommend Swara Sagar to anyone seeking a DJ, he went above and beyond what we expected.
