Above and Beyond

We were aspiring to have a great Baraat and I knew DJ Rishi would deliver after speaking with him for the first time. He is kind, engaging, and interested in the particulars of each event and how he can illuminate those values and ideals. He works with the utmost professionalism, timeliness, and creativity. His knowledge of a broad array of music and his genuine interest in making a party thrive and enjoyable for all came through. His dohl players were exceptional and he is able to be flexible with different venues. Our baraat and dance party was a moment to remember thanks to the support of DJ Rishi.

Super fun fusion wedding!

Rishi and his team were incredible. We wanted a fusion Indian/Chinese/American wedding and Rishi's team did an incredible job, from the baraat (incredible dhol player), music for the multi-cultural ceremony, to the dance floor. Rishi kept the energy high all night, beautiful uplighting, and they were also able to accommodate a projector for a slideshow that my parents wanted to do. Incredible experience overall, 100% would recommend!

Such a fun weekend!

DJ Rushi rocked our wedding! Had a blast on the dance floor both Friday and Saturday nights. The team was able to set up all the necessary sound and light equipment without issue, coordinated directly with the planner/venue, and made sure all the microphones worked flawlessly. The mobile baraat with dholi was a ton of fun! Would recommend.

Thanks Silk Events for a super lit wedding reception!

Silk Events made our wedding reception the talk of the weekend with how wonderfully they hosted our event as MC and DJ. Silk Events also provided amazing uplighting for our venue which is a modern industrial loft style space. Rishi kept our guests dancing for over two hours straight. My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor the entire night (minus saying goodbye to our parents)! He played a mix of hip-hop, Bollywood, bhangra, pop, and EDM to keep the party bumping. We’ve been gushing over the photos and videos of the dance floor because that was definitely a highlight for us. Our goal was to have a fantastic party to celebrate our marriage and Rishi brought just that to our venue. Several guests came to us after our wedding reception and complimented us on our DJ/MC team. We hope we get to attend another wedding with Silk Events because they kept our event literally and figuratively LIT. Thank you to you and your team, Rishi!! We are so happy with how our event turned out 😊

Incredible dj!

Rishi and his team were excellent. Their professionalism and skill are unparalleled. We were very much looking for someone who could blend both of our cultures throughout our multiple days of ceremonies. After speaking with several friends and family members who had celebrated multicultural weddings in the past few years, we learned of Rishi. He was highly recommended, and we were very pleased with his work. He took the time to get to know us before the wedding and understand what kind of music we liked. There wasn’t a song played that we didn’t love. He brought a level of energy that truly elevated our celebration. There was never a lull in the festivities. He knew exactly how to read the room, playing such a great selection of songs that continuously kept spirits high. He kept the dance floor vivacious all night long, really getting guests of all ages involved. We love a good dance floor and knew we had to have that at our wedding to make it a truly special occasion. He gave that to us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. The memories we made with our friends and family those nights will last with us forever.
As an emcee, he helped our wedding to flow so seamlessly between events. He had his timing down perfectly. The best man and maid of honor speeches, the father daughter dance, the cake cutting, our final song at the end of the night - he transitioned so seamlessly to each event. All our guests knew exactly what was happening and when, so we could all collectively focus on each special moment. He had a charisma and presence to him that really drew everyone in. He engaged wholeheartedly with everyone there, and we really appreciated that. Thank you so much for making our wedding the party we always wanted!!

Amazing party!!!

We just hired Rishi & his team for our wedding reception and they were unbelievable. Within minutes of the dance floor opening they had all 130 guests on the dance floor!!! And it went on for 5 more hours. They were so wonderful and easy to work with, really took the time to understand us as a couple and what our vision was, and executed flawlessly. Rishi did a fantastic job at mixing up the styles to cater to the different ages/generations/cultures and was able to pick up on the energy so well all night. Can't say enough about how wonderful this was!

Spectacular & Electrifying Music!

Rishi and his crew offered an excellent blend of music as per our taste and requirements. Rishi ensured that we had a DHOL player, which was essential for our wedding and I highly recommend having the DHOL ( percussion instrument). It truly spices up the occasion.

In addition to the novelty, we were treated with timely and situational oriented songs and music. Eg: Speech, dance, cake cutting, ceremony, etc.

Overall, it was a fulfilling day with some high octane bollywood music that ensured guest to present their best swashbuckling moves on the dance floor!

We highly recommend Rishi and his team for your event!

Thanks,
Akhthar

Helped make our wedding weekend perfect!

My older sister had a fantastic experience with Silk Events at her wedding a few years ago, and we didn't think it was possible but mine was even better!

Rishi and Silk Events were one of the very best parts of our Sangeet and wedding. Rishi was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond as we postponed our events twice from June 2020 and ultimately August 2021, which was tremendously helpful during a stressful time. He and his team did the music and lighting for our Sangeet on Friday and then the baraat, wedding and reception the following day.

Some highlights:
-- Our guests cannot stop talking about how much they loved the music and dancing both nights — it was nonstop fun and the lighting was excellent. He can really read a crowd and get people on the dance floor.
-- Rishi's dhol player is absolutely incredible...he added so much joy to the baraat and overall day and led a really fun call-and-response with guests in the last moments of the reception!
-- Silk Events seriously knows how to get a baraat going -- the car was a big hit! Definitely order the color bombs for maximum fun and super cool photos and videos.
-- Rishi helped us with songs for the ceremony and entrances and even made a Bollywood mashup with the Succession theme song upon my request which was above and beyond!

For a memorable, helpful, awesome and fun wedding DJ... look no further. Thank you, Rishi, for helping make our long-awaited weekend so terrific and special during a very, very busy wedding season!

Amazing Service!

The Silk DJ team was amazing! We had some very complicated requests and scenarios for our wedding and Silk DJ was able to exceed our expectations. The entire team was very professional and friendly. They were also very prepared and proactive with setup. The music selection was perfect and the DJ did an amazing job reading the room and shifting the playlist accordingly. We would highly recommend Silk DJ!

Phenomenal!

My family absolutely loved working with Rishi and his team. As a blended family with Indian and West Indian backgrounds, music was very important to us. Rishi was able to seamlessly combine a mix of traditional/new Indian music with Soca and EDM music as well. Rishi was very receptive to feedback and awesome to work with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
