I wholeheartedly believe this is the only review anyone will need to read before making their decision to book DJ Gudah. Planning a wedding can be a stressful process. You need people in your corner, you need people on your side. The right people who take the time to get to know you, make a world of difference. This is Gudah and his team. I could not have imagined my husband and I having a more wonderful time at our wedding. My husband and I are busy working professionals with 6 day work weeks, so we were wary that we would not find someone who can easily make time to get to know us. Gudah showed up. He made the time. He asked specifically about what is the vibe/theme of our party (old school Bengali/vintage Bollywood), conservative vs more of a lively guest list/wedding party, etc. This was especially important for me and my husband because half our guests were more on the conservative side and the other half were an uproarious bunch. Gudah understood exactly how to best cater to this crowd. We were on board right after our very first conversation, when he was able to clearly describe to me that of course he knows the significance of the Bengali tradition of a Gaye Holud and how in nuanced ways it is different from a Haldi/Mehndi. I cannot emphasize how much just that itself meant to us. Because there are so many cultural differences amongst the South Asian Diaspora, it was wonderful to see someone from the entertainment world being completely respectful of this. We truly felt appreciated and seen. He earned our trust and subsequently delivered flawlessly. Gudah and his brother Shahrukh took the time to really understand what our vision was. Shahrukh ran our Gaye Holud. It was remarkable to see how he was able to use the Bangla and Hindi songs in the many playlists we gave him to create a seamless playlist for the event itself. Because the list of events at the Gaye holud were a bit more orderly, with specific song requests for many different action items, we were sure that there would be some mishaps. Thanks for proving us completely, absolutely wrong. He couldn't have been more perfect - the Bangla and the Hindi playlist beautifully complemented one another. Gudah himself MC'ed and DJ'ed our reception. Prior to our reception, we had a small nikkah ceremony and a cocktail hour - where Gudah had organized a lovely team of live musicians to showcase their talent. My mother still raves about the live bansi player at our nikkah. Having missed the cocktail hour myself entirely due to outfit changes, we were told repeatedly that the table and sitar player were the showstoppers. At our reception, part of Gudah's team was a masterful dhol player - perhaps this has become more routine at desi weddings of late, but for our friends and family this was A MAJOR VIBE!! My father in law could not believe that it would be at his son's wedding in a country that is far from the rural town he grew up in in Bangladesh, where he would hear melodious tunes from a masterful bansi/sitar/table playing ensemble, the beats from a skilled dhol player, AND old school Bangla tunes. Aside from the excellent music, the 360 photobooth, CO2 guns...mega hit. Gudah is responsive, dedicated, genuine. He treated me and my husband like we were family. Every request I made of him he and I talked through from beginning to end - he was honest in advising me what would work, what would be too much. He needed no notes on how to work with the very...versatile guests at our wedding. Not surprisingly, several people had approached us for his contact information in the hopes of booking him. I had once asked half jokingly if he can create a dhol remix for "Baby Shark" because we've got tiny loved ones who would absolutely get down to it, and he took my request seriously. This is what I mean by unparalleled dedication. Before our event started, he had a concern about not being able to play a certain entrance song due to issues w mp3 incompatibility, and all I said was "I trust you, do what you think is best". He read the room, he knew the assignment, he did the damn thing. I know we can sing of Gudah and his team's praises all day, so, we also want to take this opportunity to thank Gudah sincerely for choosing us to showcase your talent. It meant everything to us that you made yourself available on a beautiful weekend in May, for us. For some of our guests, this was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Thank you. read more

My husband and I had our wedding reception over the weekend, and I must say, the DJ and dhol player were absolutely fantastic! They were the perfect addition to your wedding reception and truly made it a night to remember. Shahrukh was incredibly interactive with your guests, and everyone had an amazing time on the dance floor. From the moment the music started, Shahrukh had everyone up and dancing, and they kept the energy high all night long..even kept it going minutes after the event ended (haha). His song selection was spot on, and he seamlessly mixed between different genres, keeping everyone engaged and entertained. The emceeing was equally impressive. He was able to keep the flow of the event going smoothly, making sure everything was on schedule and keeping everyone informed. What I loved most about the DJ was how effortless they made the process. They were always on time, professional, and had everything set up and ready to go well before the event started. They were also very accommodating to any special requests and made sure that everything was tailored to your preferences. From the moment I started speaking to Gudah, I knew I was in good hands. He was extremely responsive and knew how to handle everything so seamlessly. Our event started a bit off schedule, and we were still taking pictures in the ballroom while guests started to arrive. Shahrukh noticed I was getting annoyed at everyone entering and automatically announced to have all guests leave the ballroom and attend to cocktail hour. THANK YOU, SHAHRUKH. And let's not forget about the dhol player - he added an extra level of excitement and energy to the dance floor, and everyone loved dancing to the beat of the dhol. His skill was infectious, and they truly added something special to your wedding reception. Overall, everything was a huge hit, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding or any other event. They were interactive, professional, and made the entire process effortless. Thanks for making our special day a day to remember! read more

DJ Gudahwas recommended to us by our vendor for our reception held at Leonard's Palazzo on 1/22/2022. There were other DJ's on the list and we did our due diligence and made calls to everyone but what stood out about DJ Gudah was he was responsive and wanted to have a conversation about the event and everyone's background as well as the friend groups and what everyone's family was like. He made an effort to consider the crowd dynamics as well as what the bride and groom wanted. Of course, communication in the weeks leading up to the event was as easy as a text message, call, or email and made himself available at our convenience despite his busy schedule. My wife and I had so much anxiety about our event and the small details that occur in between and the timing of it all. Prior to the event, we spoke with DJ Gudah over the phone in regards to the itinerary for the event and he gave us great advice and insight into how the event would flow. Of course the day of is nerve wracking but he put our minds at ease and coordinated the flow of events with all parties involved and it transitioned smoothly. He was the MC and DJ for our reception and his ability to read the crowd and get everyone moving was unreal. We have been to so many weddings, but I've never seen a DJ who could get everyone from the kids to grandmothers and aunties onto the dance floor for a good time. It's been 2 days and we're still getting messages about how much fun everyone had. As we look back on our day we felt that it was a success, and DJ Gudah was an integral part of that and we will always hold him and his services in high regard. TLDR - DJ Gudah is the utmost professional with years of experience and understands there is so much to an event aside from the music and he incorporates that into his work. He has competitive rates, and excellent communication skills. His DJ/MC skills are AMAZING. I would recommend DJ Gudah and his services to anyone. BOOK HIM. YOU WONT REGRET IT! read more

DJ Gudah and his team are the BEST!!! To start with, DJ Gudah did our wedding almost 20 years ago!!! He also did all the wedding events and the wedding of 300-500 guests of my two younger sisters in the last 5 and 10 years! He has always come through and makes it better and better each time. We recently had a huge sweet sixteen party for my daughter which was a big success thanks to DJ Gudah and his team. We were very anxious about planning the event and organizing it, knowing that we had a mix of crowd including 40 teenagers and 60 adults to entertain. After our meeting with Gudah in person we felt extremely confident. Gudah and his team were always available for us and met us numerous times. He answered any and all of our questions and ensured that all will be taken care of. He put our minds at ease. Gudah took out the time to ask us, and more importantly our daughter to visualize the event. He asked her to give him the vibe and the night she envisioned for her celebration to be memorable. His team literally took our blank slate double story open loft and transformed it into a Miami Vibe high end lounge with music playing non-stop. From high end lighting and decor, LED dance floor, a 360 both with a red carpet, to being the emcee and playing music all night, Gudah took care of everything so my husband and I could enjoy our own party with our guests. He went above and beyond. He played a nice variety of music which kept the night flowing and everyone on the dance floor non-stop. None of our guests wanted to leave at the end of the night. Gudah and his brother's energy as a team and the music is what made our party!!! They made the night a reality and made it one of the most unforgettable events for our daughter and our guests!! So many of our family and friends called us afterwards to inquire about who we hired for the event. To give them a rating of "five stars" is underselling them. read more

As a retired high school math teacher, I would give Gudah an A++, without hesitation. I was impressed with him from the moment we met. His infectious energy, enthusiasm and dedication ensuring I would be happy were evident. I felt his passion for his business and knew he was committed that my 60th birthday celebration would surpass my expectations. Gudah's meticulous attention to detail, expertise and insightful conversations tailored the event precisely to my desires. My guests, were not only satisfied but truly impressed. Gudah has also surrounded himself with fellow professionals, including a Photographer, 360 photo booth services, just to name a few. Anything you need or want he will get it done! Covering every aspect needed for a successful event. Regardless of the event's scale, he will make it happen for you. He genuinely cares about his customers. Another crucial aspect that sets Gudah apart is communication. Before I found him, I had reached out to several others DJ, their response time, and follow up was lacking. How could I trust someone that could not call me back or follow up with me in a timely fashion. Effective communication is paramount in business. I presently work as a realtor, I prioritize this quality in my circle of recommended team members. Gudah consistently communicated with me, before and during event. He made sure that me and my guests had a great time. I wholeheartedly recommend Gudah, his team, and anyone he endorses to anyone seeking a professionally executed event tailored to their needs and desires. I express my gratitude, and I genuinely wish I had another upcoming event just to avail of his exceptional services once more. His passion, expertise and professionalism spoke volumes!!! read more

EPIC Events was one of our best choices for several important parts of our wedding (photography, DJ, lighting, photobooth, etc). I cannot say enough about them and how grateful we are about how easy it was to work with them. Gudah has been one of the kindest, sweetest, hardworking and pleasant individual we have had the pleasure of meeting and working with during the process of planning our wedding. Many times, he has said that we clicked right away from the very beginning, and I cannot say that enough. He has made us feel so comfortable throughout the process of planning our wedding and worked effortlessly to provide and offer us with the best things even on a budget. Even during moments when I was stressed just before the wedding, he assured me every time that things were going to go the way they should and it truly turned out even better than what we expected. The team at Epic Events were so flexible even a day before our wedding with accommodating last minutes changes. Everyone who attended the wedding loved his vibe and the music. Guests who haven't danced in a long time were on the dance floor having fun at our reception thanks to him. He is such a wonderful person that he even surprised us with one of his Rolls-Royce in front of our home and the banquet hall to take pictures, which wasn't even part of the package. The photographers were also amazing, especially Konrad and Peter. They have worked effortlessly to take as many pictures as possible to capture our special day. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the photobooth and the videos came out great. I would recommend EPIC events to anyone because they truly are incredible and the best! read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Gudah for our wedding last week and he truly exceeded our expectations! We first experienced his work at two of our friends' weddings a couple years back. After seeing what an incredible job he did, we knew we had to have him for our big day when the time came. He did our ceremony music, as well as cocktail hour and reception. I had some very specific song and timing requests for the ceremony, and Gudah not only accommodated every detail but executed them flawlessly. It was important to me that my husband's Caribbean background was represented at our wedding, and boy did Gudah deliver. He seamlessly transitioned between Soca, Jamaican music, Afrobeats, pop music, and hip hop. He really created the perfect mix that not only represented us as a couple, but kept everyone on the dance floor and made every guest feel included. Even some of my family members who NEVER dance at these events were up on their feet all night having a blast! Not only was he an amazing DJ, but he's a fantastic MC. He announced everything perfectly throughout the night, keeping our guests informed and engaged without being over-the-top. He knows how to keep the night flowing smoothly and his energy is absolutely contagious. On top of everything, Gudah really hooked us up with incredible lighting that completely transformed our reception room. So many of our guests complimented how amazing the reception looked with the addition of the lights. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding DJ who will make your celebration unforgettable! read more

My husband and I would give him 10 stars, if possible! We hired DJ Gudah for our wedding reception, and we couldn't have made a better choice! From the moment we met him, he exuded so much energy and passion for his craft, and that energy translated into an unforgettable evening filled with music, lights, and incredible vibes. DJ Gudah and his team were nothing short of superb. They were not only adept at reading the crowd but also skillful in improvising as the night progressed, making sure everyone was having the time of their lives. They handled our tea ceremony with such respect and elegance, which we truly appreciated. What really stood out was DJ Gudah's infectious excitement! He has a unique talent for hyping up the crowd, leading wedding games while my husband and I were busy with our wardrobe change. Hearing the joyful screams and laughter from our guests made me feel a pang of FOMO, as I wanted to know what's happening in the room! The atmosphere he created was magical, complete with stunning fireworks and dancing on clouds, along with dazzling lights that kept the energy high throughout the night. We can't wait to see the photos and videos to relive those incredible moments! Our friends and family have raved about how much fun they had, and I know it was largely thanks to DJ Gudah's expertise and passion. If you're looking for a DJ who will elevate your event and make it truly memorable, look no further than DJ Gudah. We are so very happy that we chose him to be part of our special day! Thank you, DJ Gudah, for making our wedding reception an unforgettable celebration! read more

I cannot recommend DJ Gudah and his Epic Events team enough for their incredible work during my wedding! They truly elevated every event and captured our memories perfectly. Dj Gudah and the entire Epic events team were amazing to work with! For our mehndi, Dj Gudah had amazing music that had everyone on their feet. The music selection was perfect I heard great reviews from our guests. My husband and I had a great time on the dance floor! The music selection was even better on the walima day. I didn't think it was possible but he did it again! He knew exactly how to keep the guests going and engaged with the music on the dance floor. My husband and I had CO2 guns to blast through the crowd it was a very fun and memorable night! As for the epic events photographer and videographers, they were fantastic. The photography and videography team was exceptional throughout all the events. They had an incredible eye for detail, capturing candid moments effortlessly while also guiding me during the posed shots. As someone who can feel a bit awkward in front of the camera, they made me feel so comfortable. Their directions were clear, which helped me relax and enjoy the process. I enjoyed taking pictures with my husband and all of our guests and I cannot wait to see the results! Thank you to DJ Gudah and his Epic events team for the wonderful experience my husband and I had during our wedding events! read more

Gudah is truly remarkable. Once in a lifetime experience. When my wife and I were planning our wedding, DJ Gudah came highly recommend. We knew we would be getting our monies worth but what Gudah did blew us out of the water. He and his team are remarkable. They went the level BEYOND above and beyond. They nailed it. I couldn't ask for a better entertainment team handling our wedding. Responsive, energetic, motivated, hard working and everything else you could imagine. Always checking in, asking what we needed, asking if we wanted anything else added, etc., etc. Words cannot express what he did for us. If we could do it all again, we'd pick Gudah every single time. If you are thinking about any event, go with Gudah. Don't shop around, don't compare prices, don't look for an alternative. GO.WITH.GUDAH. You will not regret choosing him. If you want a good time and are good to him and his team, he will give it back to you in spades. He is the BEST and not a single company can and would compare. He is well worth the cost and will bring your event to the next level. My wife's family rarely dances and they controlled the dance floor at our wedding. He is an artist and his canvas is are the people he serves. 11/10 every time, all the time. Gudah, I hope you are reading this. We cannot thank you enough. You ROCK! Thank YOU! read more

We booked DJ Gudah and his Team mid 2019 for my sister's wedding...from the very beginning DJ Gudah was professional, very communicative, respectful and always there whenever we had questions (day/night or weekends), DJ Gudah was always there to help us, guide and always provide professional assistance. During our reservation, unfortunately COVID-19 happened, and during the consistent changes, DJ Gudah was super flexible in rescheduling us, and as we know in NY there were maximum restrictions in place and sadly we had to keep changing the mehdi/wedding dates....DJ Gudah and his Team were very transparent, helpful, and honest in the entire process...as we all know that COVID-19 has changed all of our lives to some extent and I think we were super lucky to have hired DJ Gudah for our services because I can assure you that there is no one out there that cares so much about your wedding day, and not only he is professional ,but also provides an amazing experience (one of our event dates, we had a snow storm and he/Team was still able to  commit and make it)...thank you DJ Gudah for being there for the last two years with consistent changes, always there to help us, answer our calls and making the events memorable...we're very thankful to you and your Team ! read more

He really went out of his way to make my day extra special he came and checked on me and my husband constantly to make sure I was doing ok,he gave me assurance and made me feel more at ease. I was actually let down by another Entertainment company the week before my wedding and dj gudah came to the rescue, working with him was like a breathe of fresh air,it was quick and efficient. the customer service was out of this world ! i had a few issues on my wedding day with another vendor but Dj Guddah actually helped me so much and gave me all the reassurance he managed my special effects beautifully during my cake cutting and first dance, it was truly magical !

I had my wedding in Dominican Republic (Puerto Plata) on Nov 25th, 2016. I flew in DJ Gudah, because I had seen his work and services provided at other wedding which I attended during my stay in NY (Queens). The DJ provided services for the ladies sangeet & reception. Me and my wife's family had the best sangeet & reception for the following reasons: - Great music; - Good transition; - Exceptional job on MC; - Being able to fill dull moments (e.g. people are eating dinner); and - No technical issues. I would also like to point out my wife is Spanish. He was able to provide great entertain both a Punjabi and Spanish crowed. We danced from the start of each function till the very end. No bullshit, it was so good that even the staff was on the dance floor at some point. The amount of money spent for his service and the outcome provided was well worth. We rented majority of the equipment from local entertainment store and the DJ Gudah brought his mixer and laptop. He was a solo man running the entire show and for that I commend him. **I also flew one of his staff to Chicago for a day trip to DJ my engagement. Best price + Best Service = Happy wife!! read more

We came across DJ Guddah about 10 months before the wedding after locking in our venue at Leonard's Palazzo. he was highly recommended by them. Needless to say Epic Production was the easiest decision we ever made! From the music to the DJ, Videographer and Photographer he delivered on every promise!! Made it a seem less process the crew with Epic Production was so polite and respectful even when I was slightly losing it the day of lol. The photographer and videographer were amazing! They gave great direction and I didn't feel lost at all. Especially since I'm an awkward person when taking picture, they made me feel so special! Guddah was easy to contact and always responds in a timely manner. Didn't force more on us then we wanted only what we needed and saved us thousands! Gave great energy and we come from two different cultures, (Chinese and African American) and he had everyone on the dance floor together!! Even when there were mix ups he was quick on his feet. Made sure to consistently check in with us during the event to make sure we were happy.It was such a Beautiful and special moment for us and made us very happy! Guddah is a 1000/10. read more

Our event was Feb 4th, and we know that if we did not have DJ Gudah's help with the night, we would have had to work 5 times as hard to make it as great as it was. He is responsive and hands-on. Our guests loved this DJ as he was able to glue the crowd together to have a great time. For me, the planner, he helped with slideshow, dance choreography and performances, and a nice photographer and videography team. When dealing with DJ's, everyone hates dealing with someone rigid that cares nothing about your event... DJ Gudah is so far from that... He put in so much heart to our event that I felt like he was as close to us as a cousin or any other important guest. His experience speaks volumes, not only in music selection, but on how he anticipates what could go wrong and takes care of it ahead of time to avoid mishaps...these are qualities that help make any event less stressful and more enjoyable. Most of all, he is a master entertainer and puts a great spirit out into his parties. His team always be successful when at your events. We support him and this team 100% and if you give them a chance you will not regret it ! read more

7 STARS if I could give it! We had the BEST experience with DJ Gudah and his team from the moment we spoke to him, and he understood immediately what we wanted for our wedding reception. He communicated quickly via phone and texts and added my last-minute request for Banghra dancers at the party! He gave me great suggestions and he was so easy to work with. We were an international group of guests from all points of the world (Korean, India, China, Columbia, England, Italy, Spain, Philippines, Germany, etc) My guests LOVED, absolutely LOVED his music choices from the young tweens to golden girls. He was able to bring EVERYONE to dance and just enjoy the night. We got additional screens to post our wedding pictures which the guests loved. The fireworks were a great surprise for everyone! And we were very fortunate enough to have him DJ our event himself! He was always checking in with my mom to make sure she was happy. He took requests from the kids and they loved it! He made the night very special, and all my guests said it was one of the best nights they have had in a very long time. It was EPIC! read more

Epic Entertainment and DJ Gudah were sensational. The planning of this event had the precise attention to detail I wanted. He turned it into a memorable experience for everyone who attended. The way every aspect fell into place played a role in the ambiance, love, and beautiful energy of that room. Their prices and duration for my event were by far the top tier. The greatest I've ever seen. DJ Gudah worked close with me on organizing a different kind of Sweet 16. My daughter wanted an elegant, classy VS red carpet entrance. We did not want the typical entrance with the super loud madness that takes place among teenagers. She wanted it different and unforgettable. That is exactly what DJ Gudah delivered. He worked on details, put it all into place perfectly, like he was on a mission to please my quiet and reserved daughter on the vision she had. He gave her class and elegance while throwing in the fun. He's now basically family. You have a sensational crew. I would wish you the best, but it looks like you already have it! : ) Thank you for timed perfection! read more

DJ Gudah absolutely made our daughter's 18th birthday party an unforgettable event! From start to finish, his music selection was spot-on, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. He also skillfully read the crowd to ensure everyone had a blast. Beyond his exceptional DJ / MC skills, DJ Gudah was incredibly professional and easy to work with. He arrived early to set up, ensuring everything was ready well before the guests arrived. His equipment was top-notch, delivering crystal-clear sound that filled the venue perfectly without being overwhelming. Throughout the night, he was attentive to our requests and seamlessly incorporated our special program and shout-outs. DJ Gudah really set the tone for the entire celebration. He truly understands how to create an atmosphere that keeps everyone engaged and having a great time. If you're looking for a DJ/ MC who is not only talented but also genuinely cares about making your event special, DJ Gudah is the perfect choice. Thank you for making our daughter's milestone birthday party an absolute hit! read more

I hired Dj Gudah Entertainment for my Wedding in October-2017. I was very happy and impressed with his attention to detail & the professional service his company provided. The music was on point and Gudah Emcee'd all 3 nights. Mehndi, Baraat & Walima. Since my wife is Italian and half the guest were Non-Paki, we were def concerned to hire a Non-American Dj Company. Dj Gudah was referred to us by a few friends as well as multiple venues. Hiring Dj Gudah was the best decision we made for our special day. From the lighting to the music selection, everything was excellent. He is a great person to work with and delivers high energy performance each and every time. We read the other reviews and some are positive and some are very negative and personal. To each their own. We had a great experience and we will continue to refer him and use his services for future events. Dr. Hameed & Dr. Natalie read more
