The Perfect DJ for Our Celebration!

We hired DJ Khiladi / Swara Sagar for our engagement ceremony this year, and they were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly prepared, super helpful throughout the entire process, and extremely responsive leading up to the event. We had a last-minute change of plans during our event, and they handled it effortlessly, pivoting without any stress or hesitation. The music, the vibe, and their professionalism truly elevated our celebration. We would 100% hire them again for future events! Highly recommend!

Perfect!

Sanjay was our DJ for a surprise 25th wedding anniversary for my sister and brother. Since the 1st day we interacted with him, he was simply the best. He knew what we wanted and worked with us to deliver an unforgettable evening. He worked very closely with us on the details, was in touch with the venue to coordinate and even spent a few evenings with us to do a dry run. We would highly, highly recommend Sanjay and his team for any event and look forward to booking with him again. Wonderful work, super professional, very kind and always open to idea. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Great DJ Experience!

Swara Sagar was very communicative and professional. We used him to set up audio usage at the Loews Hotel and InterContinental for a couple wedding events for my sister's wedding. He was so nice and easy to work with, provided a clear understanding of how his DJ services would be utilized. He's also worked at these venues, which made it easier for both us and him.

Excellence with a Personal Touch

DJ Khiladi (Sanjay) was a phenomenal choice for the DJ and entertainment services during our wedding weekend. Starting with the initial conversation to discuss what services we would require, Sanjay exemplified professionalism. He demonstrated an attention to detail which was reflected in the package he put together for us at the end of the call, including ideas that we didn't initially think of but ended up choosing after receiving his creative input. Regarding communication, Sanjay was fantastic. The planning phase for our wedding weekend lasted nearly 2 years, and he checked in with us consistently, and in a large part was the reason we stayed on track with our planning overall. Whether it was coordinating with other family members, ensuring speeches during the reception were entertaining but also to the point, or providing feedback on our proposed structure for an event, Sanjay was reliable and professional, while also making things fun. We also want to highlight that our wedding included a very traditional, Tamil Hindu Ceremony, which had many sound and visual details that Sanjay mastered after consulting with our family members on his own. He set up all of the meetings between different family members, the multiple venues, and even with other vendors. Truly, our wedding weekend was made complete by the work of DJ Khiladi and we could not have done this without him.

Excellence with a Personal Touch

DJ Khiladi (Sanjay) is a phenomenal DJ with impeccable attention to detail. From the moment we asked him for a quote for our wedding weekend (keep in mind this was nearly two years ahead of time) we knew he was the right person to handle sound and entertainment for us. Sanjay took extensive notes during our meetings and asked insightful questions which stimulated better planning for each event. Starting with our sangeet, Sanjay worked with multiple family members to plan surprise games and performances, and helped mix music professionally for choreographed dance performances. Our family members couldn't get enough of working with him! Then, we must talk about the wedding ceremony. Our ceremony was a very traditional Tamil Hindu ceremony and there were many nuances and details which required extensive planning and education for everybody who was involved. Sanjay did all the learning on his own, spoke with family members to ensure every tradition (especially with specific songs at specific times) was carried out sincerely, and was instrumental to ensuring all of our guests knew what was happening throughout the ceremony. Finally, the reception could not have happened without DJ Khiladi's input. His experience with other couple's weddings was extremely valuable when we were trying to decide how to structure our reception as a whole, including introductions, speeches, and dancing. Sanjay was a great sport as well, and worked closely with family members who had extensive planning involved in their speeches. Overall, we could not have picked a better person for the entertainment package the whole weekend than DJ Khiladi. Not only is he an excellent DJ and sound engineer, but he is an excellent person who was instrumental to the success of our wedding.

Great experience for Indian engagement!

Sanjay was our favorite vendor to work with for our Indian (Gujarati/Tamil) engagement ceremony! His communication in the months before the event was excellent, including regular emails and phone calls as necessary. He went above and beyond to personalize our experience with him, visiting our venue ahead of the event, and promptly responding to our many questions for him.

During the event, Sanjay was flexible and able to adjust as the itinerary changed on the fly. From helping to coordinate multiple singing performances, playing the dhol during garba, and mixing Tamil and Hindi songs for our open dance floor, Sanjay went above and beyond to ensure our event matched our vision.

We highly recommend him for any event. Thank you so so much Sanjay for making our event successful and memorable!
