SODJLA was fantastic to work with. Super responsive, professional, and helpful throughout our entire wedding planning process. The execution on the day of our wedding events was great. They provided awesome service and I would definitely recommend them!

Parag Shah was my DJ and lighting guy for my wedding and I really couldn't have asked for more. He was very professional during our planning meetings and was so helpful, especially for a last minute wedding planning bride who didn't know exactly what I wanted. For lighting ideas, he came up with really great ideas and showed me lots of previous events he's done. At the end, he captured the exact mood I was going for. For music, he had great tools we were able to utilize to pick out exactly the songs I wanted to play throughout the whole reception. He was also able to accomodate random requests I kept making just hours before our event. The mood of our reception was awesome and I keep getting compliments on how great out DJ was! Thanks Parag!

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

Ajay and the Special Occasions team did an amazing job providing DJ services for our fusion Indian American wedding reception. Leading up to our day, Ajay and his team were the utmost professionals in discussing with us our music tastes, our vision for the reception, and a clear timeline for the order of events. During our reception, Ajay was awesome at MCing smoothly, and was adaptive with last-minute changes to our timeline without missing a beat. As a DJ, Ajay is really skilled at keeping everyone engaged and having fun on the dance floor all night. So many of our guests commented on how fun the music was, even describing him as the "best wedding DJ" they’d heard, without the typical lull in dancing that we’ve all seen at most weddings. Overall we had an awesome experience working with Ajay and would definitely go with him again.

Chirag and Bhavin were awesome! The lighting was amazing and they really kept the momentum and flow the entire night! So many of my guests have commented on how great these two were! They were extremely professional but fun, funny but not cheesy, and extremely nice! They even took the time to set all the equipment just right. Some of my engaged friends either asked them or have asked me for the information as they plan their own weddings. These guys are awesome and know exactly how to keep a party going!

We are very happy with Ajay's professionalism. We held our reception at Noor's Pasadena and he rocked the party with his collection. If you are reading this review to find the good DJ don't look further !! Trust me I've asked the impossible and he has delivered and met the challenges. We asked him for the most traditional south indian music called the "nadaswaram" and he had it!! & he had a good collection of mainstream/ bollywood music, which was perfect for our fusion wedding =D. I would recommend Ajay for all your events he has a very positive vibration that can kick start a party!

We got married in June 2021 and used special occasions DJ for a mobile DJ, Photo Booth, lighting, and Dhol player. They were extremely profession and a pleasure to work with! They went above and beyond making sure we could print our pictures from our Photo Booth. This was a last minute request that we were so happy they could accomplish. They also did a great job DJing the baraat, everyone had a blast!!! I would highly recommend them to any of our friends!!!

Ajay from Special Occasions DJ is amazing. He was alway accesible for questions, super organized and most importantly kept 300+ people on the dance floor the entire night our wedding. All of our guests were raving about how great he is. I am looking forward to working with him again on other family events.

Parag is a fantastic DJ and event planner! He provided music entertainment, MCing, photobooth set up, lighting, plasma TV flatscreens, AND assisted in planning my reception program. His music selection was impeccable, he knew how to engage the crowd through the mic and song selection, and his professionalism is unparalleled. Our guests enthusiastically commented multiple times during and after the event on the DJ's choice of music, and the elegant decor/lighting that Parag arranged. Parag and his team are hassle free and very reasonable in pricing relative to their competitors.

He is hands down the best DJ/event planner I have ever worked with!

Parag did an absolutely incredible job at our wedding. We have lost count of the number of people who have raved about the music that night, and we have never seen that many people consistently stay on the dance floor past 1 am! Every time people tried to leave the dance floor to talk to others at the wedding, Parag would throw on a jam that would make the whole crowd race back to the dance floor.

Aside from the young people who were in awe, all of the aunties and uncles absolutely enjoyed the music as well. Parag was especially great during the baraat when he got the whole crowd into it in the beginning before stepping back at just the right time. It doesn't matter where your wedding is or what kind of crowd you have, all you have to do is tell Parag what you're looking for and he will make it a special night!
