Since the day we initially reached out to SODJLA to inquire about our wedding, Ajay, Aamir and the rest of their team have been an absolute pleasure to work with. They were accommodating of all our requests and patiently responded to all our questions throughout the process. We hired them for the professionalism, communication strengths and confidence they showed in assuring us they would be able to pull off our vision for music and lighting during the wedding weekend and they did exactly that. From the planning calls to week-of logistics to the impromptu changes and music requests, the team did a perfect job of executing as planned. A special shoutout to DJ Aamir, who is an absolutely amazing DJ, emcee, and person, for whom we specifically got so many compliments from our family and friends. We were nervous at the beginning of the process because of all the unknowns but came out of the wedding weekend with some beautiful memories on the dance floor. We are going to make sure to spread the word about SODJLA and Aamir far and wide in the near future!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Special Occasions. They are exceptional! Ajay and Sonal were very communicative and professional. They worked with us when our wedding was rescheduled, when their DJs’ schedules changed, and when we had last-minute needs change in order to deliver on every event as we had wanted! Ajay took many phone calls from us at random times throughout the day to make sure everything was arranged for our events. Between his SODJLA blog and his advice over the phone he was almost like an advisor on the side for aspects of our wedding that weren’t even DJ related! Aamir mixed music for our Sangeet and it was incredible. Ajay was our DJ for the Sangeet and he was amazing! The whole night the dance floor was full and he knows how to get the party started and keep it going! Ali was our DJ on our wedding day and everyone loved his energy. Our wedding was a multi-cultural wedding and Ali knew how to get ALL of our guests involved in the Baraat. Prior to our events we had a call with Ali to discuss our day-of music for ceremonies and all of the music was played exactly how we had envisioned and described! This team knows how to DJ and keep everyone entertained throughout all of the events. We would highly, highly recommend the Special Occasions team!

Our wedding in Cancún, Mexico in 11/2021 was the best week of our lives and the Special Occasions team played a HUGE role in us feeling that way. We SO as one of our first vendors back in 2019. Ajay was such a pleasure to work with - we were nervous about planning a wedding in Mexico and he gave so much helpful first-hand experience which really put us at ease. In addition, Ajay helped us look over our Ryder from our local vendors and help us cut some costs and make sure we had everything we needed to an optimal setup. Due to changes in wedding dates (the usual Covid changes, etc etc), Ajay was not available to DJ our wedding but he highly recommended Aamir.

Kevin and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aamir. He was such a professional and really brought the energy to every single event. Each song was perfect for the event. We hosted a Glow after-party and the highlight was seeing Aamir in an all-white track suit - that is commitment. So many of our favorite memories of our wedding have a specific musical memory attached to them and Aamir made that all possible. (Aamir, we’ll never forget the debauchery during Pepas and All I Do is Win.)

We recommend Special Occasions without reservation and we hope anybody reading this is lucky enough to have them available during their event.

Much love,
Kevin and Nina
