It Was Fate

It was fate for DJ Rav to play at our wedding. We could not have had more FUN! From hosting the timeline to a perfect T, to also hitting all of our requested songs and playlists. He is just perfect. And the concert lighting is sensational!! Thank you DJ for being a HUGE part in making our wedding the best night of our lives. #FAMILY #RockinRobbins

DJRav is the best!

Professional, affordable and a real crowd pleaser. DJRav was great through the entire process, he could read the room and played just what everyone needed. Party wouldn’t have been a hit without him

Absolutely Amazing!

Every review talks about how friendly and how much like family Dj Rav is when he is the dj at your event. I couldn't understand that until I met him. I started conversing with DJ Rav about his services for our wedding that would be on Nov 11, 2022. What was supposed to be a 30 minute consultation, turned into a 3 hour chat. He is not just a DJ, he truly is family. Over the last year of chats between him, my now husband, and myself, we have shared many chats that made Dj Rav understand not only our vision, but who we are as humans. He connects with his clients in a way that is most like talking to a sibling, or uncle. The entire planning process, up until the day of, was a breeze. He listened to every concern I had, not just dj wise but as a whole for the entire event and wanted to make sure every moment went as perfect as possible. And on 11.11.22, he did just that. He stepped in where needed, even when a guest got out of hand. He brought Dj Mike as well and they both made sure we had a smile on our face and a drink in our hand at every moment. I could sit here and write for hours about how he is like family and how amazing of a human he is but the bottom line is, if you are unsure about who to hire or if you are in between 2 different companies. This one. This is the one you need to hire. He will make sure you enjoy your day and that it is a party every step of the way. We will definitely be hiring him in the future for all of our Dj needs!

Bride-Chris Maddox

Ravi was amazing right from our first conversation. He responded immediately and was always responsive whenever I contacted him. He went above and beyond in every aspect. Ravi helped facilitate the flow of our celebration and not only did a fantastic job as our DJ but ensured the timing of the day went how we had envisioned it to be. Ravi blew me away by jumping in to help with the set-up of our tables and venue and even stayed late to help us with the cleaning up at the end of our event! I’ve never experienced a DJ who was so helpful and invested in our event as much as we were. He is truly hands down the BEST! I can’t recommend him enough! I promise you will not be disappointed in your decision to hire Ravi as a DJ! I wish I had another event to hire him again, he is simply the best!

Destination Dream Come True Wedding for my Daughter

My daughter has dreamt of a beach wedding since she was 12 yrs old. Living in the Midwest we knew that this would be a little challenging to throw together and have to rely on reviews and social media reactions to find the vendors we needed to make this happen. Ravi came highly recommended from our caterer. He was very easy to contact and understood exactly what we were looking for as a DJ for this event. He worked directly with my daughter and her husband to get a feel of how they wanted the evening to flow. When the day came for her wedding, him and his crew went above and beyond the expectations we had for a DJ. He gave us the perfect flow and just the right amount of motivation to keep the party lively. There wasn’t a minute that the dance floor wasn’t fully occupied and our guests still rave a year and a half later about how nice fun they had at the wedding. If I lived closer I would be hiring him for every event I planned. Book Ravi and allow him to use his expertise to give you the most exciting and fun event of your life!!

Ravi is the best DJ

I reached out to many DJ went to meet with them, and I just felt they weren't understanding/ caring of our needs. When I meet with Ravi instantly knew he was the one. He understanding, kind, understanding of the flow of our wedding. He over just showed us throughout the planning and the day of the event he was 500% there for us. He is very much so detailed oriented. I recommend him for an event at the hotel i work at a few months ago and again he rose up and beyond.
