DJ Prashant - Indian DJ In Chicago

Rated 5.0 Prashant did excellent job in garba, baarat, and wedding. Very professional and helpful during all events.

Rated 5.0 I'll preface this review by stating that DJ Prashant was the DJ for my sister's wedding in 2017, and he was absolutely fantastic. Super professional, kept the dance floor going all night, and played the right traditional indian music at the right time during the ceremony. When it came time to plan my wedding, it was a no-brainer to go with Prashant. When I reached out to him, he unfortunately was unavailable, but one of his teammates (DJ Sahil) was, but I elected to book with his company regardless. He was easy to communicate with and professional. We booked a dhol and baraat music, which took place in downtown Chicago. This went basically perfectly, and was super fun and high energy, and the highlight of the day. During our ceremony, the mike for our priest cut out intermittently, but the right songs came on at the right time, so I wasnt terribly frustrated. For our cocktail hour and dinner, we requested a mix of bollywood and western oldies, but gave creative license, and this too was successful However during our reception is when things declined. DJ Sahil skipped my uncle-bride dance and went to speeches instead (though we got to do the dance after the first speech), the sound and volume during many of the speeches was patchy and inconsistent so a lot of people didnt hear them at all. When open dance came around, he played exactly what we requested AGAINST (no "group dances" besides the Wobble), missed songs we had requested (Chaiya Chaiya), and played the music weirdly quietly, interrupted songs after 30 seconds to play a different one, only to go back to the original song 5 minutes later. At least 10-15 members of my family left early because they thought the open dance music was so bad. Thankfully with significant guidance from a cousin who hand selected most of the songs, the dance-floor was able to get back on track so that the last 1.5 hours of our reception were awesome I had hoped that music was something that I could have just given a vibe for rather than to have spent the time and energy making an entire playlist for. I suspect our dance-floor would have been consistently much better if we had just made a Spotify playlist ourselves and plugged in our phones to the sound-system. Overall, I would recommend book with DJ Prashant for their dhol/baraat services, and if he himself is the DJ for the event rather than one of his employees. If he is not, be prepared to make the playlist for the entire wedding and wedding receptions rather than just a vibe list

Rated 5.0 DJ Prashant was a joy to work with throughout our wedding process. Beforehand he took several calls and helped us choose music and timings. He provides a generic timeline/schedule that we then used as our master timeline for ourselves! From the business side of things: 5 out of 5 From the execution of the event: 5 out of 5 Personality and ease to work with: 5 out of 5 We had a Hindu/Christian fusion wedding and the music was on point. Not only that, but he mic'd up our Pastor and provided all of the speakers and equipment for 3 separate areas. DJ Prashant is first and foremost a professional and you can rest easy knowing he will handle everything calmly. The staff he hires are awesome as well and know their business. For music selection he will provide music if you do not want to choose, but he is 100% willing to play only the music you want. This is not a DJ who has his own version of events, he will do it YOUR WAY!!! For a fusion wedding this was critical as several other DJ's told us that they would pick it out and read the crowd. Prashant said he could do this for us if we wanted, but would also play the songs we chose. Well, we ended up providing a massive playlist of music for him and he picked out and played the songs appropriately. A huge list of Hindi music, 90s rock, top 40, and slow songs. The dance floor was flooded the entire time and the music and lighting was on point. There were apparently a couple of different technical difficulties that arose, but not a single guest ever knew. DJ Prashant has several backups and options in case things go awry and he handled things like a pro! We, the bride and groom, only found out after he joked about it after-the-fact! Great guy. Professional, and knows his craft.

Rated 5.0 I was very disappointed with service . Given that we had a contract before the pandemic and verbal agreement . I had put a substantial down payment . All of my vendors were happy to accommodate (except DJ Prashant ) and were nice enough to refund the amount on services that they were not able to provide. DJ Prashant was never willing to accommodate our situation, he only suggested I can use my credit for event for a romantic dinner or baby shower / first birthday via phone but later backed out . Last week, I reached out to use his service , as I was told I can reschedule in the future in this time frame. He was very rude . He not only did not honor his word and let me have my event but he also was never willing to accommodate or give me a partial refund for what was never provided to me. If I could give a zero rating I would . I honestly have nothing but positive ratings and things to say for people but I sincerely don’t have anything positive to say for his code of ethics and conduct of business. He seemed more interested in the money than provided me with a good experience . Save yourself a headache and look for someone more professional.

Rated 5.0 Amazing DJ, highly recommend for all weddings. He played a great set of songs for all of our song choices and genres. He mixed the whole time and added an amazing beat and transitions between songs. We had a fusion wedding and he covered all genres of different music fluidly. The dance floor was never empty all night, and he kept the hits rolling all night long.
