Hey man! Thanks again for a KILLER day! Everyone kept saying how amazing you were. Once you figure out the rest of the invoice, any chance you could shoot me some of the playlist so my friends and I could listen to it?
Groom
You were the absolute best DJ for my brother’s wedding. All throughout COVID, the one thing that kept me going was knowing I’ll get to dance my heart out at my brother’s wedding and told him that having a bomb DJ is one of the most important aspects of a wedding. You made it such an amazing experience for all of the guests and my family and I are incredibly grateful for making the day as special as it was.

Albuquerque, NM - September 2021

Neil - So EPIC! Thank you for all you did for us last night! That Baraat looked insane and you were so kind to give us the overtime. Your dhol skills are out of this world and you gave me the hype I asked for and so much much! The dance floor was just the best kind of chaos haha. After how it turned out, we can genuinely say it was just as good as our Bali plan. Thank you for being such a big part of it.

You exceeded my expectations and both of our families LOVED what you did the entire day with the DJing, MCing, and dhol. The NYC Baraat had so much energy and all of that carried into the reception. You guys really can carry a fusion wedding and we really appreciate all of your hard work. I wish you came through to the afterparty at Le Bain though!
New York, NY - August 2021
Bryan & Shravani
THANK YOU so much! You are really good at what you do. You brought so much energy to all of our functions and handled everything with so much professionalism. My parents and I put together our events so quickly and they really could not have been such a success without all of your hard work. The lighting, monogram, and pin spots really made the room come alive along with all of the energy you brought. You were super kind and helpful and I will 100% recommend you to others in our network.

Dev & Jasleen
Where do we start! Mr. Can’t Miss! Neil has done a number of weddings within our wider social circle and we booked him for our wedding that was originally slated for Tuscany, Italy in August 2020. We postponed it a year and then ultimately had to cancel due to the pandemic. Despite all of the uncertainty and changes, He was there, helpful, and transparent throughout the process. We wound up doing a much smaller scale reception at home with many of his suggestions (power specs, uplights, program) and the night was unforgettable (we even danced in the rain!). Just an incredible experience man. We love you dude!
Medford, NJ - August 2021
Neil & Rubina
Neil - It was great to see you after my wedding (10 years ago in Pittsburgh). You are still doing an amazing job and still don’t know how you do it all.

Chad and Neil were amazing! The music, event flow, and THE DHOL really kept us going throughout all of the events.

Hope to see you in Barbados one day.

Venkatesh & Vandana
You guys are the best! My wedding was postponed, but they were in constant contact until I finally had my wedding last weekend. People were so ready to party after the year we've had and they delivered. They play a good mix of music and can read the audience well. People hadn't danced like that in years! Mike, Neil, and Ravi are beyond DJs, they helped me plan a timeline and kept the flow of the evening going. I am so lucky to have had him for my event.

Dilan & Victoria
Neil - You and Ravi were absolutely fantastic! You made for a terrific experience for us, especially for me at the baraat. I loved the music choices and selection. You helped create the time of my life on that horse Jimmy. Our guests were also into everything the entire weekend which reflects partly on the ambiance created. You guys have this down to a science and an art at the same time.
Hope to see you again sometime in the future!

Manan & nidhi
Hi Neil!
You and Mike did a great job with our wedding from beginning to end!

Hope to be reaching out to you in 2021 when we figure out our next party :)
Thank you so much again!

Excellent job handling our micro wedding. After speaking with you and seeing your media, I gained so much confidence and knew you were the right choice for our wedding.

Cartagena, Colombia - October 2019

New York, NY - September 2019
Rachit & Alice
From the response time on your emails to “last song” at the Reception, you exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Alice and I come from different cultures and I wanted to thank you specifically for incorporating our guests from both sides into an awesome day of events. You and Taran had the dance floor going from start to finish to the extent that we had like 3 last songs. We really appreciate what you did and look forward to seeing you around in the future at other weddings!

Neil! My man….you were awesome! From the Baraat to the Reception….You MADE the wedding! The fact that you knew and worked with our planners (Jennifer Supper from Kaleidoscope) and even many of our guests definitely shows you’ve been doing this for such a long time and are really good at what you do.

Philadelphia, PA - June 2019
Mehul & Melissa
Hey! We’re all coming up to NY this weekend, basically a Florida wedding renuion in the city. Are you guys playing anywhere? I also wanted to say THANK YOU again so so much for the music, coordination, and event ideas (TUG OF WAR)! Both days were a ton of fun and I don’t even think the videos do the wedding and sangeet justice (and the videos were AMAZING).
Anna Maria Island, FL - May 2019
Shuman & Stella
Thank you SO much for pulling off this weekend! I know that it was a challenging one on many fronts, but I loved seeing the way that everyone came together to pull this off. Stella and Shuman couldn’t stop talking about how happy they were in the end.

Ravneet & SOnia
Mike - Neil and Ravi did an incredible job for both the wedding and reception. The music (everything from the Punjabi to the top 40) was awesome. The dhol was a hit for both sides of the family and in particular my uncle from Houston. Honestly, very well done from top to bottom and look forward to seeing you guys in the future sometime.
New York, New York - March 2019
JAG & SANDY
Thank you so much Neil! Since the wedding was on our home turf (Mexico), we really wanted to add an Indian flair to Jag and Sandy’s fusion wedding (Punjabi / Mexican) and you were it! We really appreciate you flying to the west coast of Mexico all the way from New York and adding so much energy to the Baraat and Reception. A lifetime of gratitude from our family to you.

CHRIS & RENA
Neil - you did an awesome job with Ravi! All of our friends said this was the most lit wedding / cocktail party they have been to. The direction and knowledge level you have really show why you are always booked and why it’s so hard to grab dinner with you. When our planner cancelled (I will not say the name via email, but people can ask me), you literally told me not to worry about it. The reason I actually did not as we moved on during the day was because of you. We love you! The RBS family loves you! Thank you SOOO MUCH AGAIN!!
New Brunswick, NJ - October 2018

PARAG & SHERRY
We had Neil and Ravi for our Sangeet and Wedding in June. They did everything right and Neil’s confidence during my initial phone call definitely showed for our events. They had been to the venue many times before for other weddings and were very comfortable with how to structure things. Everything was just really strong especially the music and MCing. The only thing I wish he did was take a credit card haha. Honestly, they both were a BIG part of an awesome 2 days.

NEIL & REBECCa
Mike, Neil, and Ravi - Thank you so much for doing all 3 of our wedding events, including an absolutely unforgettable dance party and introduction. Mike rocked the first 2 events and Neil and Ravi capped off the grand finale on Saturday night. We had about 400 guests and literally every single one of them was on the dance floor. People wanted to keep the party going so long that Ravi played for the afterparty in the hotel and kept it going until about 3 am.
We were really lucky to have these guys and everything went better than we could imagine.

PRIVATE / UNDISCLOSED 50TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Dear Neil - Thank you for working with Van Wyck & Van Wyck on the recent 50th birthday celebration that took place in New York City. Your set invigorated the dance floor and helped to keep energy high amidst an event that featured Snoop Dog and Steve Angello. I look forward to future collaborations and new opportunities to work together.

ANAND & KRISTIN
Neil - You rock!. Neil was a referral from my good friend Kiran Kothari (Neil did his daughter’s wedding about a year and a half ago). He was very responsive with emails, phone calls, and even recommendations. My entire family had a meeting with Neil and his experience and commitment to the event are very evident. For the Baraat, we had an issue with the equipment, but he was able to adjust so fast and still make it great. That was extremely impressive. The reception was as expected - all of our guests were dancing to both American and desi music the entire night. We knew our guests would dance, but some of the songs were so great. Overall, He and Ravi work really hard and do an excellent job. Thank you again! Bharati Trivedi - Mother of the Groom
Princeton, NJ - April 2018
CHRIS & MALIHA
Neil - Exceptional job at the Palace in Somerset. You are amazing at fusion. Way to rock both sets and my family loved you. Thank you so so much! I will see you at my sister’s wedding soon enough!
Somerset, NJ - March 2018
BAQAR & MASHAL
Neil - Thank you so much for making both days sooo much fun! Awesome job with everything top to bottom - from the DJing, MCing, to the dhol playing. Everyone LOVED it and really appreciated how you ran the program. Again...Awesome job! Look forward to staying in touch!
Parsippany, NJ - December 2017
HIRSHA & MAMTA
You guys absolutely crushed it and people have been complementing us on the music literally since the moment the dance floor ended. Our guests had a blast and it was because you guys put so much effort into what you do. You guys operated on a time crunch without a proper sound check and handled it like champs. We were very happy with the introductions and the MC duties overall. Not to mention, your dhol playing was an absolute HIT for both the Baraat and the Reception. You made our dream wedding come true and I knew that when I hired you, I would get nothing less than the best service. Neil and Kash - We can't thank you guys enough.
Tannersville, PA - December 2017
PRATIK & CHETNA
You were awesome! Everyone in our family loved you again even after Tarak and Khusbhu's wedding - which was also awesome. Great job again with running the show and keeping the crowd engaged the entire night.

SONNY & LIHN
Neil and Akash - Thank you guys SOO much! We had an incredible night. Everyone was raving about you guys! It was everything I wanted! So funny that you and Sonny knew each other. Have you ever had any of your bride's shuffling on the dance floor? See you guys soon!
Old Bridge, NJ - October 2017
MARUTI & ANJNI
This was the 2nd family wedding that Neil did for us. The first one was my son's wedding in Santorini, Greece. I cannot believe that I am saying this, but he actually did an even better job at my daughter, Anjni's. He brought in an electric violinist for the cocktail hour and the reception with whom he mixed Dhol with on certain occasions. His performance with Magic Mike really goes to show his dedication to the craft and focus on keep getting better. Thank you wholeheartedly once again on a job well done.
Arun Patel - Father of the Bride

I wanted to thank you and Ravi again for doing an amazing job on my wedding day. People are still raving about the music and all the fun things you did with the dance floor and how great the program went. I will never forget how much you and Ravi did to make the day incredibly special. Please pass this message to Ravi as well. THANK YOU!!!

Thanks so much Neil! Great job with keeping the crowd going. You are extremely talented and I was glad to have you at my wedding! You certainly did not lie when you said that you have been doing this a long time. All the best going forward!
Neptune, NJ - August 2017
DEEP & KAITLIN
Executing on a 3 day destination wedding event is difficult, but you guys made it seamless. I can see the reason why you are successful. There is such an attention to detail coupled with a personal touch in everything you do. We loved getting to know you in the last year and my entire family loved you. You and Ravi killed it! We could not have expected anything better from you guys! See at all of the family parties going forward.
Tucker's Point, Bermuda - July 2017
Ravi & Elizabeth
Thank you Neil for really doing an awesome job with our wedding weekend in Syracuse. Our guests really took notice of the great music and organized MCing. We really appreciate what you and Ravi did for us and I hope our paths cross again in the future! Best going forward!
Syracuse, NY - July 2017
KAMAL & RITIKA
Everything was perfect. Everyone had positive things to say about the DJ / MC so thanks for making it amazing! Between my family and Ritika's, we got a lot of compliments on DJ music, crowd control, crowd build, and of course Dhol! We will see you at Gandhi's wedding in a few months. Until then, thank you so much man!
Somerset, NJ - July 2017
NEERAJ & PREETI
Neil - sorry I could not get back to you earlier. Thank you for an awesome time. Being a musician myself, you were awesome, especially with the band. Really loved everything you did and keeping the energy up for everything.
Somerset, NJ - June 2017
RAVI & DRASHTI
Neil - It was great working with you from the start. We booked early and we now know it was a smart decision. You worked extremely well with our awesome planner Hasina from Royal Charms and our other vendors (Fine Art, Chand Palace, Abhishek). I heard the Baraat was amazing and could not be happier with how the reception went (Intros, dance floor, etc.). Also, thanks for the shout out to USP. We love you guys!
Springfield, PA - May 2017
STEVE & SONIA
Thank you so much for your services on our wedding day! Everyone is still talking about our events with such excitement, particularly the baraat. Everyone was so pumped , and being a mixed wedding, we appreciate you leading the way. It was truly the best day of our lives and thank you wholeheartedly for playing such a huge part in it
Syracuse, NY - May 2017
SAM & MONICA
Neil - Thank you for an outstanding performance and coordinating everything from New Jersey. Our guests from all over the world including many from India and Dubai loved your work. The Baraat and Reception were beautiful because of your energy and enthusiasm. You really set the tone for a wonderful day for my family. Remarkable job again at my daughter's wedding at the Washington Dulles Airport Marriot.

Neil you rocked out! You were awesome and the pleasure was all ours my brother. Thank you for everything especially with coordinating between both venues. It is such a small world and glad to see a number of my friends and family already knew you. I'll make sure to refer you to all my friends that are having upcoming weddings.

SALT EXPERIMENTAL MARKETING - PRODUCT LAUNCH - HERO GLAMOUR
It was a great experience working with Neil and his team on the launch of Hero Motorcorp's Glamour motorcycle in Buenos Aires. We were connected via Mumbia based BlackHat Talent. The launch was one of the biggest productions ever in Argentina attended by key members in the international media. A talented, organized, smart, and creative musician.
Buenos Aires, Argentina - January 2017
SANDIP & SUHEILY
Neil was very flexible to work with and gave us great recommendations on songs. We had a Latin and Gujarati wedding which had a naturally vibrant crowd. He really was able to play to the crowd and have everyone get energized. Thank you for a great time and keeping it creative! Surprised at how many people already knew him and his work at our wedding. Grateful for a small world and a job well done.
Somerset, NJ - December 2016
JAMIE & ANJALI
Just wanted to say thank you SO much for playing at the sangeet & wedding and for all of your flexibility on timing! We've had so many people comment on how awesome you were and how much energy you brought both nights. It was absolutely our dream weekend. We are so glad that we were able to work with you! The two days were incredible and we are so excited for the videography and photographs!
Philadelphia, PA - October 2016
RAHUL & SHEBANI
Neil Desai is phenomenal! The videos he showed us were great, but his live performance was even better. He was phenomenal! He worked extremely well with our celebrity DJ Baba Kahn from Toronto. His MCing, event execution, timing, and dhol percussion created an unforgettable experience for our wedding and reception. Keep rocking!
Washington DC - September 2016
NIMISH & CHRISTIN
Very pleasant throughout the pre-planning process and amazing execution as the MC. There was very little sales pressure and absolutely no oversell. Neil gave us exactly what we were looking for. He was well regarded by our other vendors (Wedding Design, Moghul, and even our pandit / priest). A number of our guests were blown away by the energy and talent level. Very honest, straightforward, and extremely talented! He really delivered. Btw...my parents also loved him because he's originally from Valsad.
Valley Forge, PA - September 2016
ARPAN & SONAM
You were awesome! You got me to dance...and I don't dance. Thank you so much for doing such a phenomenal job at our wedding and reception. My friend Manan put me in touch with Neil and everything was smooth sailing from there. I am doing my residency in Chicago and was initially stressed about how everything would turn out because I was not there every step of the way. Neil eased every stress Sonam and I had. He was so organized from the start and great to both of our families and friends. People have not forgotten about how much fun our wedding was and it's been 4 months. Thanks again to our awesome team of Neil Desai and Raj Minocha.
Somerset, NJ - August 2016
DOUG & AHILLIA
Thank you so much for the entertainment on Saturday Neil! Everyone had so much fun. You were not lying when you said you were comfortable with mixed weddings (American - West Indian). From the bottom of our hearts, you were GREAT and we really appreciate it!
Secaucus, NJ - July 2016
PUNIT & LESLIE
OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE!!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH NEIL!!! Punit saw Neil perform at a wedding in California last year and could not stop raving about how much fun he had at his cousin's wedding because of Neil and his team. He was equally fantastic at our Sangeet and Wedding events. There was a significant amount of negotiation in terms of pricing, but Neil was willing to work with our budget. He gave insightful opinions on the direction of our events. The music was exceptional. Neil and Magic Mike really catered to both crowds (Cuban and Indian). You could see the experience and confidence play out in the performance. Muchos Gracias!
Greenville, NC - June 2016
MITHUN & RIDDHI
I just wanted to thank you for doing such an outstanding job at my wedding and reception!!! You were so great!!! Everyone loved you. Especially when you played the disco dancer song for Mithun and the garba song for me. It was such a creative segment. I was sooo happy with your work!!!
South Brunswick, NJ - May 2016
PAUL & NEHA
We could not be happier in having Neil perform at our wedding. He rocked it! He has a lot of energy to him and it shows. He is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The booking process was very straight forward and he was able to give us the "pros and cons" of the services offered. Thank you again for an amazing job!
Brooklyn, NY - May 2016
KUSH & RIMPLE
Neil and Akash really blew us away. They were on top of everything the day of the wedding from the Baraat to the Ceremony to the Reception. We have heard Akash spin before at a few weddings and knew the skill level, but the thing that stood out here was the care for our event from both of them. There were some difficulties with our venue, but they worked through them and did really great work as a DJ / MC team. Neil was a great MC - versatile, vocal, and able to judge our crowd. Akash - great set with what we wanted to have played.
Fords, NJ - May 2016
HARSH & ARTI
Neil really exceeded my expectations. So much so that I personally called him the day after the wedding and thanked him for such an awesome job. All of my guests loved the hype he brought! I heard of Neil before because of his popularity in the Indian wedding market, but his performance is what has me really recommending him. Thank you again for a great job!
Arlington, VA - March 2016
AMIT & SANAM
Neil - Thank you for a wonderful time! Everyone thought you were awesome with everything you did. You have a great personality that is seen through your work. I will be referring others to you!!! My son loved it tremendously!

SOHAIL & KATHRYN
You are exceptionally gifted!!! Last night was sickkk!!! Cannot thank you enough. Tons of compliments on your performance. Cannot wait to see the video! You did my brother's wedding a few years back, but you were even better at mine. This really shows the dedication to your craft. Thank you sooo much again!
Old Bridge, NJ - December 2015
SATISH & AARTI
Very easy to work with, organized, and responsive. He is highly skilled and would be plug and play at any event. Thanks again man for rocking out!
Garfield, NJ - December 2015
CIRE & SAMAPTI
Neil is extremely talented. I cannot stress that enough. We had a mixed wedding (Bengali / African American) and all of our guests loved him. He is just very good at what he does. The experience and skill level really shine. I hope to see him soon. Thank you again Neil!
Roslyn, NY - November 2015
RAVI & MONICA
Neil came highly recommended from our wedding planner Mayank - Platinum Dreams Events. We can say that we understand why. Neil flew out from NYC and did not skip a beat. He absolutely crushed it on the mic and the dhol. He ran the show in sync with Mayank to perfection. The music and production work from Vik and Neil were very impressive.
Orlando, FL - November 2015
ANUPAM & CONNIE
Neil gave me the best Baraat I could have possibly imagined. Performing at a Bengali and Irish wedding is no easy task, but he absolutely killed it. He fused with Connie's uncle on bagpipe and gave the baraat so much hype with his MCing. Unsurprisingly, a good amount of my guests were familiar with Neil's work from prior events so there was no doubt in my mind. Unforgettable experience that I cannot thank him more for.
Washington, DC - October 2015
AMEESH & NATASHA
I saw Neil and Akash at a wedding in Greece and insisted that we fly Akash and Neil out to the west coast for my sister’s wedding reception. The music was a great mix of punjabi, top 40, and hindi. Everyone was dancing all night long and our introductions were AMAZING! A really solid team that cares!

Amazing Baraat guys!
Springfield, PA - August 2015
ASHESH & NIKA
What a squad! That is all I can say. Neil and Akash were instrumental in making our Santorini destination wedding a success. As you can imagine, there was a significant amount of pre - planning that went into our events. Neil was very responsive and vested in our wedding. From the helicopter entrance to the introductions to the fireworks, he was great in leading. Akash DJed for 5 hours during our reception without interruption. I think he set a record. Amazing work fellas!
Santorini, Greece - July 2015
MAULIK & MEGHNA
Neil and Ravi did a very good job of getting our crowd involved. We are from central PA and had a very large number of non Indian guests attend our wedding. We were concerned that they would not have as good of a time, but boy were we wrong. Neil is really one of the best MCs I have seen. He ensured that everyone had a great time. Ravi's music was very concentrated in what we wanted. They were great and could not have been happier with having them perform.
Elysburgh, PA - June 2015
SATESH & VISHWANI
No complaints here. Neil was great to work with. In terms of timing, follow up, and performance, the guy is great and very flexible. There was a special request that I had which required coordination with our Tassa band. Neil was able to meet up to make sure everything was on point and coordinated perfectly.
Queens, NY - May 2015
SOORAJ & PALLAVI
Thank you so much for everything you did for us. You guys did a PHENOMENAL job. Pallavi and I could not be happier. I know you had to deal with a lot of different people bothering you. We really appreciate you keeping all that stuff to yourself during the events. We got so many compliments on the DJing, MCing, and Dhol. Again, we could not be more happy we went with you guys.

MOHAMMAD & NAZISH
Great job with a lot of energy. Not the typical conservative Pakistani families and Neil was great in bringing a lot of energy to the event. He is a very very talented percussionist with a lot of vocal skill. I recommended him to the couple and they were not disappointed. His pricing is slightly higher than most, but he is worth it.

NIRAV & REENA
Thank you so much guys! Our wedding could not have been a success without you guys! As a DJ and MC combo, you cannot get much better. This was the 3rd wedding of the summer that we saw them perform. Our wedding was the 3rd, but Neil made sure it was different than the other two. He is very creative with his delivery on the microphone and Akash is unbelievable at mixing. Our wedding was a non stop party and these guys kept it going.
East Rutherford, NJ - July 2014
GUNJAN & BHAKTI
Great work Neil! You really kept the crowd going. If this makes sense, Neil has a PHD in South Asian weddings. He is so well versed with the entire process that it is hard to believe. He really makes you feel comfortable and gives value added advice to the event. There is no oversell and he works within a budget. Oh yea, aside from this, the music was great!
Hicksville, NY - July 2014
VIKASH & NIKKI
AMAZING WORK! Both of our families LOVED you! Neil was a phenomenal MC. This is not an understatement. We watched our reception video and were blown away again. All of our guests were dancing non stop the entire night. The baraat was insane, the ceremony was tastefully done, and the reception was so much fun. We saw Neil perform at another wedding and expected a great event, but what is incredible is the respect he has among venues. Our matre'de at the Hanover Marriot spoke very highly of him. Very very positive experience.
East Hanover, NJ - June 2014
SALMAN & NIDA
Neil and Himanshu were a great team. The Baraat was very well done in the sense that Neil kept it lively yet processional. The dance party had all of the right elements of music and percussion. Very good job! I have already passed on the information to some of my other family members. He does get booked fair quickly so keep that in mind.
Bensalem, PA - May 2014
TAHIR & NIDA
We were referred to Neil by my cousin Aleeza. She mentioned that Neil had been doing large scale South Asian weddings in the NYC metro area for quite some time. I can safely say that my little cousin gave us a great referral. Neil was very detail oriented and knowledgeable. He knew and was sensitive to many aspects of our Islamic ceremonies. The music was very lively during the mendhi night and more toward the conservative side for the other events. His MCing was very elegant, something that we were very appreciative of because most MCs typically overdo it. All in all, very good experience and highly recommended.
