Ruki was a phenomenal DJ and fantastic throughout the entire process. He was very easy to work with, and really took time to understand our musical style and preferences for our wedding. Ruki had great attention to details, and took our feedback very well. He was also an amazing MC and really hyped up the crowd for entrances and the dance floor. The crowd loved him and our guests were raving at Ruki's mixing skills. The dance floor was packed until the very end. We highly recommend Ruki to anyone for their wedding! -

We hired Ruki for our wedding in August after glowing recommendations from other clients. The first thing that stood out for us when we interviewed him was his level of organization and professionalism.
During wedding planning, there are a lot of stressors and you want a vendor that can help take stress off of you. I felt confident in my interview that Ruki would do exactly that and he delivered. He did an excellent job collaborating with our wedding planner, venue, and other vendors to make this process extremely smooth.
As far as the performance over the wedding weekend (Welcome Party/Sangeet, Wedding, Reception), a couple quotes from friends will help describe the performance:
“I’ve never seen a dance floor that packed at a wedding before!”
“People did not leave the dance floor the entire time”
“There are so many back to back bangers. I didn’t want to get a drink and miss the next song”
It was amazing vibes the entire weekend. So much so that one of my guests actually decided to hire Ruki for their wedding!
It was great working with Ruki and I would recommend him for your wedding! -

Ruki exceeded our expectations as a DJ for our wedding. Despite having another event right before ours, he made everything incredibly easy for us and expertly crafted a playlist based on a short list of our favorite songs. He had a great understanding of the energy of the crowd and played to it perfectly, with everyone at the wedding loving every moment. His freestyle scratching was particularly electrifying. We highly recommend Ruki for any DJ needs - he truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. -

From the beginning of planning our wedding to the day of, DJ Ruki was awesome to work with. Very professional and kept us updated during our reception of what to expect next (grand entrances, speeches, special dances, etc.). He also kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We had a wide range of ages from 2 -80 and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and the dance floor. DJ Ruki also perfectly blended our Filipino and Mexican heritages, which we greatly appreciated. People are still telling us how great the music/DJ was at our wedding and it was the best wedding they have attended. You will not regret booking Dream House Productions for your next event! -

If you're still looking for a DJ- Stop. You've found the best of the best.
Ruki did an AMAZING job of combining so many styles of music (pop, reggaeton, salsa, bachata, Italian, hip hop) and really played a pivotal role in making our wedding a wonderful party.
He took song requests from guests, was able to read the crowd, and really kept the party going strong.
Ruki was very professional and helpful not only during the wedding, but also beforehand in the preparation process.
If you're still reading all these reviews and vetting different vendors, save yourself some time and secure Ruki to DJ your wedding. You and your guests will have an amazing night to remember for years to come! -

Ruki was an instrumental part of our Sangeet, ceremony, and reception events. He conducted himself extremely professionally in all communications leading up to the events, which included clarifying itineraries, preparing for announcements, and making sure he had the the most amazing playlists for each event. Not only did Ruki play a huge role in making sure our events ran smoothly and on time by communicating clearly with the wedding party, but he absolutely nailed all of the announcements, introductions, and general crowd rapport. For example, he stopped the father of the bride during the beginning of his speech to remind the crowd to please be quiet (in as kind and firm of a way as possible) during the speech as this was an important moment for the bride's parents and for us. This gesture meant a lot to us and exemplified the experience and care he brought to the job.
And WOW, we haven't even gotten to the good part - the music was incredible, from the pacing, energy, song selection, and ridiculously cool mixing to his ability to get and keep people on the dance floor the entirety of both nights. Ruki's DJ'ing alone made our celebration truly special to us, and we could not have hoped for a better outcome with respect to the music. On top of that, because our wedding guests were culturally mixed, he balanced playing both Indian and non-Indian songs beautifully. We cannot recommend Ruki enough - he and his team went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful for the amazing memories they helped to create. -

We are so thankful that DJ Ruki was our DJ! His music selection and mixes were such crowd pleasers for our sangeet, wedding/baraat, and reception! Not one dull moment on the dance floor. He also has quality equipment like uplights and sparklers. Not only is his music awesome, but he himself is such a great advocate as well for couples and truly does make sure he does his best. Very good at communicating, professional, and very organized. Highly recommend him and his team! -

Ruki was fantastic to work with throughout the process of planning and putting on our wedding! He was very well organized in helping us understand his role in putting our special day(s) together and provided lots of assistance and tools to make the planning process as simple as possible. Even with the times that my now-wife and I messed up with some planning aspects, he was there to help us correct course and fill in the gaps. Especially on the day of our wedding where some unrelated scheduling issues came into play, Ruki instantly improvised to make the night appear incredibly seamless; no one knew that we carried out our reception completely out of order! And perhaps most importantly, Ruki was fantastic as an MC, making sure everyone was informed of what was going on and getting people moving on the dance floor when it was time to party. And his set was just as awesome, full of energy and with something that could appeal to everyone, seamlessly mixing songs from Bollywood, top 40, classic and modern hip hop, and much more.
We'd be remiss if we didn't mention that Ruki also provided DJing and audio services for parts of our wedding beyond the reception, including the actual wedding ceremony itself, our day-before event, and the entry procession (Baraat) where he utilized a mobile speaker cart to lead us!
We couldn't be any happier with how everything turned out, and we owe a huge amount of that to Ruki and his team. We would 100% recommend his services to anyone looking for a top tier DJ at a great price. Thank you so much Ruki! -

Ruki was incredible from beginning to end! He completely rocked the party at our wedding! So many of our guests kept coming up to us and telling us how they could only leave the dance floor for a quick drink because DJ was so good they had to run back to the dance floor. We have attended tons of Indian weddings over the past few years, and honestly I have never seen a dance floor consistently packed like we had at ours. Ruki's mixing was so so sooo good, especially the way he was able to mix Indian and American songs back and forth. Also, man can he actually mix -- at so many weddings, the DJ just plays songs or a mostly premade set of mixes, but Ruki was live mixing every single song!
During our wedding week, we unfortunately had to make some last minute changes (literally right before some introductions) and he was quick to help us out to make sure our event ran smoothly.
We actually decided to work with Ruki and Dreamhouse back in 2019 for a 2020 wedding but our wedding was pushed back four separate times. At all times, Ruki was super professional and easy to work with. He was understanding and always willing to help with anything we needed.
We would highly recommend Ruki to anyone looking for an awesome DJ for your next Indian wedding! He will surely make the event one to remember! -

Where do I start? I have known Ruki for years now and have seen him DJ many times and enjoyed it every single time. So, when it came time to plan our wedding which was originally supposed to take place in August 2020, I knew Ruki and Dream House Productions is where I would go. As you all know Covid came and changed plans for many people, including ours, but Ruki made rescheduling (many times) as easy as possible due to his flexibility with us and wanting to make sure we still had the best experience we could have. Fast forward to our new wedding date of Aug 2021, we worked with Ruki as the date got closer to iron out all the details of the wedding, which he became a huge part of how our reception flowed. The reception was changed to be a cocktail style reception, in a smaller venue, with a much smaller guest list, so we didn't have the best idea on a format of how everything would flow throughout the night, but Ruki helped us through this and provided a lot of insight on how things should/could go and we used all of his suggestions and we do not regret it!
The portal that Dream House Productions offers was very helpful when it came to choosing music and having a place where all the details could be shared and keep everything organized. Speaking of the portal, this allows you to provide your music/song suggestions (must plays) for the wedding so you get to hear exactly what you want without having bug the DJ the whole night.
Wedding day! We had Vaughn has our DJ for the evening of the wedding and I must say that we couldn't be any happier. When we filled out the portal of "must plays" for music, we purposely didn't put 4 hours of music so that he had to play directly from a playlist, but specifically put a couple hours of songs and asked for Vaughn to make his best judgement and to feel the room out and play what he thought was best and actually "DJ". He did an absolutely amazing job and we were asked by our guest about the music and DJ selection over and over as they were all thrilled. From the moment the music started until we were kicked out of the venue, people were on dance floor and we wouldn't have had it any other way! Thank you to Vaughn and Ruki for your professionalism and expertise in making our wedding night as special as it was! -

Kawinthi F. Sent on 08/09/2021Kept everyone on the dance floor all night!
When we started planning our wedding, our biggest priority was making sure we hosted an incredibly fun event, where our guests would be out on the dance floor all night long. Even though DJ Ruki is based in Chicago and our wedding would be in New Hampshire, he was the only DJ we spoke to, and the first vendor we booked after securing our date - we were THAT excited about him, and man, did he deliver! Our guests raved about him all night, and are still talking about what an awesome mix he curated. From the beginning, Ruki was incredibly communicative, and really understood the vibe we were hoping to pull off. His DJ portal was easy to use, and even though we didn’t have many must-play requests, he clearly understood the type of party we were looking to have. We hosted 200 guests at our wedding, and there were probably 180 people on the dance floor at any given time, until the last song was played (not an exaggeration). Our late night snack vendor even commented that he had fewer guests than normal for him, because so many people were on the dance floor until the very end. We also had a specific need for a mix of American and Sri Lankan music, as my family is Sri Lankan, and that made up 30-40% of our guests - Ruki SEAMLESSLY mixed in Sri Lankan dance music with American bangers, and everyone loved it all! Lastly, after all was said and done, Ruki actually let me know that the sound equipment he was renting for our wedding fell through at the last minute, and he had to troubleshoot with another DJ colleague of his who came up to NH from Philadelphia to help! Of course, I had no idea about any of this until afterwards, and am SO happy we trusted DJ Ruki. He only had our best interests in mind, from the start, and we couldn’t have asked for a better party. If you’re looking for a DJ that really gets to know you, is reliable & trustworthy, and will throw an absolute rager - DJ Ruki is your guy! -

RJ Ruki, the owner of Dreamhouse Productions delivered a fantastic performance for our Wedding! His transitions from song to song and genre to genre were flawless and he did a great job of reading the crowd to know when to keep a certain vibe going. All our guests raved about the music the next day! -

Dream House Productions absolutely exceeded expectations. They were very responsive throughout the whole process, suggested certain music-types and songs for the cocktail hour/reception, set the right vibe, and played requests that matched the energy in the room. Ruki held a meeting with us before the wedding and made sure everything would go smoothly. The DJ even accommodated a custom song mix for our mother/son dance. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ experience. Extremely satisfied and would recommend Dream House to anyone. -

I have worked with Ruki for years and knew when it came to our wedding music, Dream House Productions was the only answer. Ruki and his team were great to work with and did an amazing job at our 10/24/21 wedding. Our guests kept coming up to us saying how great the music was and how they didn't want to leave the dance floor. Ruki really took into account all of our requests and spun them with other songs that fit our vibe. They are super responsive and their client portal was super helpful to use. Thanks for making our party epic! -

Dream House Productions made our wedding a great success. We had 180 people for a wedding in STL. Ruki and Vaughn traveled to the wedding with all of their sound equipment and it sounded amazing. Got the party going and kept the atmosphere perfect for a large wedding. Great experience and highly recommend these guys!
