Special Occasions DJ & Lighting

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

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!

For our Persian-American wedding we hired DJ Ali and he was AMAZING! The genres and ranges (instrumental, big band, Persian, Hip Hop, house, 90s, etc.) he was able to weave into a single day was unbelievable. We had multiple guests ask tell us "this is the best DJ we've ever heard at a wedding" and "we're firing our DJ and hiring this guy" - the proof was that nobody ever left the dancefloor.

His success during the day's events was due to his exhaustive and meticulous planning. We met on multiple occasions leading up the wedding to discuss the perfect songs for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Ali was also familiar with our Persian traditions which was a bonus.

Finally, the quality of his equipment was far superior to the venue's. He even helped us pick the perfect extras (up-lighting, photo-booth, etc.) that made the reception space even more special.

If you are looking for a high-energy MC/DJ for your upcoming event - Ali is the perfect pick!
