DJ Ravi Jackson

of our families and all our friends on the dance floor throughout the night. The songs we had picked out for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were all played at the perfect times. Couldn't have asked for a better DJ to keep the party going until the last minute of the reception :)

mobile baraat to work so the groom's family had to walk the baraat with no music whatsoever. He didn't have a backup plan. Imagine a baraat with no music when you've hired a DJ! He missed the groom's entry song (just didn't play it), and missed the majority of the other songs that I had requested him to play during certain specific parts of the ceremony. He played the same song over and over again when there are hundreds of songs he can choose from. He wanted my sister to call him every time he needed to play a certain song to remind him. He played some songs at the wrong time (mubarak mubarak before the wedding had even happened). He is the most incompetent DJ who didn't do ANY part of his job. So many people came up to me after the wedding asking me what kind of DJ I had hired. He completely ruined my wedding day. Don't let them ruin yours.

h perfection for every single part. The baraat was super high energy, the ceremony felt momentous (the guests all listened and paid attention during the ~1hr ceremony), and the reception was so high energy (I assume the cocktail hour went well, as I was not there). So many of our guests commented on how much they loved his MC and DJ-ing and there were so many people on the dance floor all night, which is a true testament to his skill as a DJ. He played a perfect mix of the Indian and western songs and he helped us put together a great list of chosen songs for different aspects of our wedding. He executed our request flawlessly. It was important to use that we have a south Asian DJ, but were looking for someone who matched with our vibe (we are not over the top). He was high energy, incorporated both north and south Indian and American music at our request. In terms of event/lighting design, he was able to provide us with uplighting for the room as well, and has bunch of different options for lighting. He even put together a mix for the wedding party to perform to. Would 1000% recommend to anyone in the future.

, responsive and kept everyone dancing all night at our wedding! His team was on time and kept the flow of the reception perfectly! We got so many compliments on the music- I think one of the most important things is reading the crowd and I definitely think Ravi's team did this very well! We had a great time and a huge part of that was the great music team we had working with us on our special day! I would 100% recommend DJ Ravi Jackson and his staff for your special day especially if you love dancing as much as I do!

Indian and American songs so that all guests would feel included and want to dance. And they all danced! Many guests told us that some people who never dance at weddings actually did at ours. There was so much great energy in the room the whole night because Ravi could read the crowd and knew which songs to play. Ravi was also wonderful to work with before the wedding. He was always responsive to emails and also receptive to a do not play/must play list. My husband and I also did a surprise Bollywood dance to three tracks, and Ravi cut the tracks for us before the wedding so that we could practice. Overall, our reception was so much fun, and we owe a lot of that to Ravi! We can't thank him enough.

ance, we were incredibly impressed with DJ Ravi's professionalism and flexibility. Because were were planning this Philly-based wedding from Washington, DC, we relied on e-mail and phone communication with DJ Ravi; he was exceedingly available at all hours of the day to speak and e-mail with us. As a bride who planned a 200+ person wedding on my own (ie. no wedding coordinator), DJ Ravi was by far the most responsive and polished vendor I worked with during the wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, he and his team seamlessly incorporated energy and fun to the baraat, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We also hired a dhol (Indian drummer) player through DJ Ravi, and it is safe to say that he brought his "A" game to the wedding! We had several song suggestions, "must haves," and "not haves" that we gave DJ Ravi in advance, and he not only followed our instructions, but definitely was able to get a feel for what kind of music and vibe we wanted to have and was able to create an extraordinary soundtrack for the whole day! It's worth mentioning that half of our guests were Indian and half were not, and DJ Ravi did an excellent job of mixing up the songs on the dance floor (some bhangra & Bollywood, some top 40 hits, some oldies) so that everyone felt included with songs they loved and recognized. The energy that he provided was priceless; we will never forget what an amazingly fun night we had dancing to the tunes of DJ Ravi! It's also worth noting that we had many guests compliment us on DJ Ravi and tell us that our wedding was the absolute best wedding they had ever attended, in large part because of the incredible music and dancing all night! We highly recommend DJ Ravi and his team for your wedding or whatever event you may be planning!

g spinning skills, our guests didn't want the party to stop! Would recommend him to everyone.

part of the evening. My husband is from India, so we played a nice mix of bollywood-type and Pop music. We danced the whole night away. Even my dad, who I have never witnessed dance, was requesting more bollywood songs to dance to. Ravi was so sweet, and great to work with. Great job on setting up the uplighting too.

ncing at the end of the night. He did a great job MC'ing as well and everything went smoothly. The lighting him and his team did was perfect, as well as the monogram he created for us. DJ Ravi Jackson is awesome! I would recommend using DJ Ravi Jackson to everyone!

night of dancing at our wedding. The dance floor remained packed, and he was perfect when working with a live artist who was designated to play our first dance song. To top it off, he had the perfect light set up to make the venue even more majestic, and worked with the photographer to make sure the lights were perfect for capturing the memories made that evening. He was flexible, and always available, and made the final to-do's on our wedding check list get completed with ease.

e great and helped the day go smoothly. Our dance floor was packed the entire time and he did a great job of reading the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time. Several guests mentioned how fantastic he was and I'm sure many will ask for his contact info. Don't hesitate, book him today!

or to the wedding, and felt that he was very responsive to our ideas and suggestions regarding music - all of which panned out well that day. He completely blew away our guests at the wedding reception with his selection of songs and various mixes. I don't think I ever left the dance floor that night! I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a DJ that has the ability to read the crowd and mix in your requests/crowd favorites/Indian music/American music/and old school classics in a seamless way. Thank you for keeping the party going all weekend, Ravi!

or more. He also provided the uplighting and music for our ceremony. The timeline he provided to help me organize my day helped us so much!! Thank you for everything and we hope to see you again sometime!!

re can get his contact info?" To back up a bit, we asked Ravi for a number of his services: a baraat with a mobile music cart, a complex ceremony that involved playing 18 separate cultural songs at various points in our South Indian ceremony. In addition, we asked him to coordinate between the audio for the mics and the music itself. The mic audio was problematic at points, and they cut in and out frequently. However, the music for the ceremony itself and the music that was cued was done with extreme precision. In the few weeks prior, Ravi took the time to carefully chat with us on several occasions to work through the details. As you'll see from his Soundcloud page, Ravi is masterful at lots of different styles of music: for our ceremony we asked him to play many different South Indian and North Indian classical songs. For the cocktail hour that followed, he played modern and classic jazz music. And for the reception, he played lots of Indian and Top 40 hits, including hip hop. And he made sure that the audio for the speeches, dances, and skits we had during our reception was crystal clear and smooth. Overall, Ravi was a superb DJ and we were absolutely delighted with his services. He made our wedding extremely fun.

erything we needed. He made the decision so easy. On the day of the wedding, he was exactly what we wanted. He played all the songs we wanted, and kept the guests dancing. I would highly recommend DJ Ravi Jackson!

he night can progress. We also chose him for the lighting and he did an excellent job with that. The guests commented on how the DJ was smart enough to realize hindi songs we chose wasn't getting people to dance. So, he switched to folk tamil music and the entire dance floor went crazy (in a good way). He was dressed very professional during the reception and was professional throughout times we met him before the wedding day. Highly recommend him.
