She made our wedding the ‘best of the year’ by many guests reviews. We have never seen a dance floor of 30-somethings SO packed! Young parents and older folks alike were tearing it up. But it was so much more than that. Shilpa is carefully attentive to the mood, energy and flow of the event. We had seen her at various other friends’ weddings and knew we needed her for ours. What’s more is that our friends didn’t necessarily have the same vibe as we do - she carefully gets to know each client and tailors the experience to them (more details below). In our opinion, she is THE BEST DJ IN THE BIZ. Stop looking. You’ve found her.
*Music* - Wow. Her original mixes are AMAZING, and so many people were asking us where they could download her tracks. She made critical decisions with us to ensure the ceremony was emotional and yet the music was not distracting. During interval periods she had vibey bops that kept the guests moving and happy. Then the dance floor - wow - it was bumping. We just had the best time, and keep wanting to go back.
*Vibe/Energy* - You spend a lot of your wedding day with your vendors. Shilpa is the person you want by your side. She is thoughtful, knowledgeable, detail-oriented and incredibly kind. She makes you feel like she is in it with you, and is upbeat and relentless in pursuing the very best event she can provide for you. This isn’t just a gig for her, as evidence by the fact that we found our little cousins (~ 6yo) behind the DJ booth with her, and being inspired in a future career as a DJ herself! This woman brings it- hard.
*Communication* - Shilpa is a skilled communicator. She is quick on email responses, reviews detailed documents, gets on numerous video calls to ensure she understands your vision, and even came to a walkthrough of our venue where most of the discussions did not relate to her just to be in the loop on the needs of a particularly complex outdoor venue. She’s awesome.
*Professionalism* - Shilpa is the consummate professional. When you’re putting together your wedding planning team, you want to hire vendors who don’t just care about their part, but the entire event as a whole and invest in creating the client’s vision. Shilpa didn’t make it about her - she made it about us. She worked phenomenally with our team, communicating with both our wedding planner in a timely fashion, and also with our parents - able to allay fears in a different way. She identified deviations from our timeline even before we had, and raised flags for our wedding planner to allow her to modify other plans - this avoided a huge delay down the line and allowed our even to flow smoothly - all thanks to Shilpa! She is a very STRONG addition to any wedding team.
*Value* - Huge ROI. A wedding is a big investment and what you choose to spend your money on matters. For every dollar you spend with Shilpa, there is a 10x return. We felt she charged very reasonably and we feel that we received much more than we paid for the incredible service she provided.
*Summation* - Just do it. She is the very best, and you won’t regret it.
Shilpa—a first class DJ, MC, and one of the best in her business. When my sister got married back in 2016, we had the privilege of Shilpa creating a wonderful set that kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night. Everyone we spoke to absolutely loved her, and rightfully so. She’s dedicated, straight forward, and incredibly intuitive to any party’s energy and guest list. I’ve been a fan since; I’ve watched her grow a phenomenal business and I have loved seeing her expand across the globe. It was a no-brainer to have her at our wedding this year. I didn’t even have half of my vendors down before we called her to make sure she could be part of it. Every time I talked about her to friends (especially my non-desi ones), it was always with “She’s so cool, she is my hero.” And she truly is. I especially am grateful to have built rapport with her outside of the wedding process. She’s authentic and so conscientious of her message and her brand. She has the confidence to own who she is, despite being in an industry that not only is highly competitive but one that has very little space for women. But thanks to her, that space is getting bigger and bigger every time she drops a mix or has a party. I can’t wait to see what’s next for her. If you want the best of the best, book her!
For context, we had a fusion (my wife is South American and I am Indian), destination wedding in Miami. DJ Shilpa absolutely killed it!
In the planning phase, Shilpa worked with us every step of the way. Our initial conversations were geared towards learning about us, completely unrelated to music, which we appreciated. Shilpa really took the time to understand us, which in the end made the world of a difference.
As the wedding came closer, we had discussions about "must play" songs, songs we like in general so that she could get an idea of what we like, and songs not to play. Unlike other DJs, Shilpa did not limit us to a number of songs for these lists, and really tried to learn about what we like. She also made it very clear what was needed from our end, and worked directly with our planner so that we had all necessary equipment, given this was a destination wedding. She helped mix the songs together for our dances and also provided suggestions when we needed them. Additionally, she gave us suggestions for our mobile Baraat which were very helpful.
Going into the wedding weekend, Shilpa was extremely easy to communicate with. The Baraat was one of our highlights for sure; we hear about it from all of our family and friends, even one year out from the wedding. She did an amazing job getting both of our families and friends together with music, which was a tough task given that many of our guests had not been to an Indian wedding before. The Sangeet and Reception were no different, and she kept the energy going all weekend. She perfectly blended both of our cultures together. Our Spanish-speaking family from Colombia even complimented her Salsa music taste!
DJ Shilpa was highly recommended to us, and was even better than we could have expected. She was the only vendor that we selected who was not local to Miami. She's an open format DJ and well versed in many different genres of music. She really cares about learning about the couple and it shows. We highly recommend her to anyone planning an event who wants a lit dance floor and unforgettable event!
When we were looking for our wedding DJ, we wanted someone who knew how to bring the party to a fusion wedding. DJ Shilpa was the perfect choice. She masterfully blended Western and Bollywood music to perfectly match the vibe of our wedding. It rained on our wedding, so the groom's entrance (baraat) was inside. While we were initially bummed that the baraat had to be inside, DJ Shilpa hyped up the crowd so much that most guests said that the baraat was one of the highlights of the entire evening. She beautifully lit up our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We would 100% work with DJ Shilpa again. Thank you for everything!
DJ Shilpa is *AMAZING*. She was incredible to work with from start to finish, from the per-planning months ahead to the day of our wedding. She has an incredibly genuine, warm, dynamic and energetic style. She was able to read the crowd and artfully crafted our wedding into the best party we've ever attended. We had a fusion wedding with both Indian and American guests, and she struck the balance beautifully to ensure all guests had an amazing time. She also led a predominantly American crowd to participate in a fun and energetic baraat. We had an absolute blast working with DJ Shilpa.
Shilpa is the best of the best, the real deal, one of a kind. We received nothing but rave reviews on her DJing skills throughout our wedding weekend. Shilpa was reliable and available during our pre-wedding planning. She was responsive by email when we and our friends/family asked for mixes to be made prior the wedding. She worked with us to bring our vision to life for our sangeet on Friday night and for our reception on Saturday night. And to say that the dance floor was packed on both nights is an understatement! We are still being told that our reception night was the best party our guests have ever attended—and this is largely because of Shilpa’s ability to feel the crowd in front her, feed off of their energy, and elevate it to the next level. She succeeded in creating memories for us that will last a lifetime. There should be no hesitation, hire her immediately.
Dj shilpa
Dj shilpa was easily our favorite vendor. She was very easy to talk to before the wedding and was easy to schedule phone calls with. She was one of the first vendors we booked and felt confident in her services. She had done my friends wedding two years prior and did a great job. She gave so much good input regarding songs for the reception, and was pretty detail oriented regarding the whole wedding ceremony. We did a Baraat before the wedding and she helped my South Indian wedding really get into the groove! We didn’t end up using a dhol player but it didn’t matter because her song selection and energy was so great.
What makes dj shilpa different from the others is that she is not only a great dj, she also does a great job being an Mc. I would say that her prices were more than fair and very clear as to what we were getting.
Weddings can get expensive and things get overlooked easily. When we had originally booked Dj shilpa we were supposed to be getting dhol player and but ended up not needing one. We forgot about this and ended up paying a little extra. About a week after we were sharing some information with my cousin and realized that we had paid a few hundred dollars extra. When we reached out to Dj shilpa for clarification, she went out of her way to look at her records and IMMEDIATELY sent us back our money. The fact that she quickly got back to us along with taking our email seriously goes to show how transparent she is and how serious she takes her job and business.
Our wedding would not have been the same without dj shilpa. Thank you so much shilpa!
Hire her for your date now!!! I am so glad DJ Shilpa was available for my wedding date, I could not have asked for a better DJ. Shilpa is detail oriented, she asks great questions before the day of to make sure she plays all of the music you selected for key moments at the exact times requested, she's organized, and she knows how to pump up the crowd on the day of. Shilpa is really perceptive- she knows what type of music to play based on the couple's style and what songs are always hits for weddings. I'm so glad we hired Shilpa, we received so many compliments on the day of and afterwards. Thank you for being such an amazing vendor to work with, DJ Shilpa!
DJ Shilpa is awesome!!! She is so thoughtful and reads the room so well knowing what type of music the crowd wants to ensure that the party stays hopping. We had a Hindu wedding in upstate New York, and wanted a mix of Bollywood and Western music. DJ Shilpa hit all the right beats.
DJ Shilpa spent time with us before the wedding to understand the style we were looking for. She is extremely talented and such a powerhouse of a DJ!! We highly recommend her to anyone wanting a fun dance party! We absolutely love DJ Shilpa and she made our wedding a huge success as she kept the dance floor packed with all the crowd favorites.
5 stars is truly not enough for DJ Shilpa!We had our wedding back in August in Philadelphia, which had both Hindu and Jewish aspects. Shilpa worked closely with us and our planning team from the beginning.
She was meticulous in everything and everything she set out to do was perfectly executed.
Our wedding was the best dance floor we have ever been to, and we are honestly not just saying this because it was our wedding, it was because of the energy Shilpa brought. DJ Shilpa perfectly curated our Sangeet, Baraat, ceremonies, and reception! She was so helpful, patient and flexible. She even helped with creating the custom mixes/medleys for the Sangeet performances.
If you are looking for a wedding DJ you should LOOK NO WHERE ELSE.
If she is available, hire her now.
She is amazing and so is her team. She worked seamlessly with our planning team, venue, families (and all their quirks). We had a big fusion wedding celebration and all of our guests were constantly dancing. She was able to cater to all age groups, cultures, etc!
My husband and I cannot stop talking about how going with DJ Shilpa, and being so lucky she was available on our date was the best thing to happen!
I have been a dancer since a young age, and there is nothing I love more than a good dance floor and Shilpa made all of my wedding dreams come true!
She was also very prompt in all her responses and stuck to any timeline she set out. She was so easy to work with when we needed to move things around and change things up because of our COVID postponement.
We have not stopped receiving compliments from our guests and people asking for DJ Shilpa's contact info. My younger sisters keep saying when they get married they want to hire DJ Shilpa for sure--and I am sure she will become a staple for all of our future family celebrations!!
Hands down DJ Shilpa is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
The Best and most super awesome DJ ever!!! Shilpa was our DJ for our Daughter’s Hinjew wedding in Aug 21 at Kimmel center, Philadelphia. We got so many complements from our guests and so many said she is the best DJ they have seen at any wedding. She works hard before and during your event and it shows. She worked with the couple and the maids of honor to plan the music, outline each event, entrances, blended and mixed music, suggested music .
She made the weekend one that all my family and friends said they will remember for a long time . She has so much energy and stage presence ( my children love to dance and party and She kept the tempo going all weekend long) . From the Sangeet , to the Baraat, to Hindu wedding, to Jewish wedding and then finally the reception- the music was flawlessly executed and simply perfect . Our guests were quite diverse as expected , yet she managed to keep everyone engaged and entertained . And all this while completely understanding the couple’s vibes and playing the music they love and had requested.
In the planning stages she was always very timely in her responses and inspite of her extremely busy weekends, if She told us She would get back by Sunday night - She always did . Her services are par excellence . I would rate her 10 stars or more if I could .
We cannot thank her enough for being such a super awesome DJ at our children’s wedding .
As a mother of Daughters I am so proud of how amazingly She holds her own in an industry that is typically male dominated .
She is simply spectacular at what She does, connects with her audience and can keep a party going all night long .
My Daughter no 2 and 3 said that if, when and wherever they get married 😄in the future
the dates will be decided based on Shilpa’s availability !!! Best does not even begin to describe her ….
Five stars isn't enough for DJ Shilpa! She was the absolute MVP of our wedding and performed flawlessly throughout. She puts 100% into everything she does and it shows. DJ Shilpa was unique, creative, high energy, and overall awesome and we would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
DJ Shilpa was amazing !! We were doing an American and Indian fusion wedding and she understood the vibe completely. We all have very different and specific tastes in music but still managed to make everyone happy! She makes her own mixes which is really cool. Everyone kept mentioning how great our Dj was! She even taught our guests how to do some Indian Bollywood moves! Lights were great and she kept the energy going at all the right times! I would definitely recommend her!
DJ Shilpa was amazing!! She knew how to keep the party going and get everyone excited. She was an awesome MC and knew how to keep everything on time. She made our day amazing and perfect. Highly recommend her!
Hands down best DJ for an Indian-American wedding ever. She was on time, MC-ed the baarat, ceremony, and reception. She did an awesome job mixing up the music so that all the guests could get into it. Even her set up went great with the decor. I would highly recommend her!
DJ Shilpa was incredible. She is professional and talented.
DJ Shilpa was amazing. She kept the crowd going, and when we were delayed due to ceremony issues, she kept the crowd engaged that they never knew anything was wrong! She was so helpful with planning and organizing. All of our out of town guests were so impressed by her!
