Our DJ did a great job bringing positive energy to our wedding and thoughtfully blending Indian and Chinese music throughout the day. Since we had a multicultural wedding, it was important to us that both sides felt represented, and he balanced everything seamlessly. He was great at reading the flow of the event, keeping transitions smooth, and helping create a fun and welcoming atmosphere for all of our guests. He also did an excellent job with introductions for performances and key moments, which helped the event feel polished and organized without being over the top. He was professional, communicative, and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and we'd definitely recommend him for multicultural weddings and events. read more

DJ Salim is the best!!! We had a mix of Desi and non-Desi folks, guests from a bunch of different age groups, and Salim was able to keep *everyone* on the dance floor the whole night. We got so many compliments from our guests after - he was fantastic, 10/10 would recommend!! read more

DJ Salim was amazing at our wedding last september. He did multiple events, sound and lighting and DJ for the reception. Everything went completely smoothly. He handled all the scheduled songs with no problem. The reception dance floor was mind blowing. We had given him a small playlist to go off of, and he took it and ran with it. He completely nailed the vibe we wanted and the dance floor was one of the best we ever experienced. It was perfect having such a good DJ for our wedding night. Cheers!! read more

DJ Salim had a great audio setup for our speeches and performances, and then brought great energy to the open dance floor with his DJing! We were one of the first weddings to host in a new SF venue with raised ceilings and the potential for echo. DJ Salim came early to test the setup and was able to eliminate all echo! Speeches were heard clearly by everyone! For the dance floor, he did a great job mixing some song requests from us with his existing playlists. He just used the best 1-2 minutes of each song, and kept the energy up for the entire time. The dance floor remained packed for the entire time! I highly recommend DJ Salim! read more

Hi DJ Salim, Thank you so much for your hard work and exceptional services. No doubt that the event would not have been the same without you. Your ability to read the crowd and provide the right songs at the right time made the dancing feel really dynamic, organic, and fun! Also, what an unforgettable baraat! read more

DJ Salim was great! We had a huge crowd, and Salim knew how to hype them up and get them ready, he helped make mixes, worked with the large crowd, read the vibe of the dance floor and really worked with us. We had a packed dance floor until the end especially during the last song, which was my goal. He also wrapped our dance floor and did a great job, we really recommend Salim for your wedding. Great to work with and did a great job! read more

Salim kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! The transitions from song to song were seamless further amping up the mood. He took in requests and managed to play songs from different genres whilst getting everyone to continue having fun. I couldn't have imagined a better DJ to have at an event and will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family. read more

DJ Salim kept the dance floor full the whole night! He tastefully incorporated guest song requests and also added songs that pleased our family and friends of different ages and backgrounds. Our wedding got significantly more elaborate during the planning process, but he was never phased and readily accommodated when we had to change the ceremony site to somewhere more remote. The day of, he wired up the sound system manually due to technical limitations of the site. Overall, Salim was extremely easy to work with and we'd wholeheartedly recommend him if you're looking for a wedding DJ! read more

DJ Salim and his team absolutely KILLED IT at our long overdue wedding reception. He was part of the COVID wedding cancellation madness in early 2020 that we were going through, but he honored his commitment and was very flexible with us over the years. Ultimately his team was extremely professional, on top of their responsibilities, and did a FANTASTIC job at our reception. I got so many compliments from guests at our reception about how amazing the DJ was. We had an Indian-American fusion wedding and he hit all the right notes to get each of the groups in the party to hit the dance-floor. If you're in the market for a wedding DJ who has a great taste in music, can read the crowd very well, and is very professional, look no further! read more

Salim was amazing to work with and out on a show. He was the DJ for our Sangeet and our Reception and had the dance floor going all night. He also led the Baraat with his mobile cart and made sure that everyone had a blast. Would recommend him for any wedding or party! read more

So glad we chose DJ Salim for our wedding!! He was so nice to work with and pulled off every event (Sangeet, Baraat, Ceremony, Reception) so beautifully and seamlessly. We only gave him our playlists and song requests a few days before the wedding, but he delivered on all of them. I was very glad that he honored my requests for many Taylor Swift songs to be mixed in amongst all the Bollywood & Bhangra :) Thanks for keeping us all on the dance floor past midnight and we look forward to seeing you at more weddings and club nights!! read more

DJ Salim - Dance floor post midnight! - DJs Near Me

We hired DJ Salim for our wedding and he was amazing! The whole day went smoothly, the baraat, milni, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. He is responsive, professional, easy to work with and played the best songs! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for their wedding events or parties. read more

Salim was super easy to work with and did a fantastic job with the music for both our wedding events! He made sure everyone on the dance floor was having a great time, added musical touches to various segments of our events, got the Baraat crowd hyped with some colorful smoke bombs, balanced the wide variety of musical tastes of our guests, and was also gracious enough to let my cousin, who's also a DJ, hop on and spin for a few minutes. Overall, we couldn't be more thankful to Salim & his assistant for all their efforts in making the events a success! read more

Definitely recommend getting DJ Salim and MC Amit. They did a great job at our wedding at the SF Design Center last year! He knocked it out of the park every step of the way: - Pre-wedding: Easy to get a hold of and super responsive (let's be real, not every vendor is...) - Baraat: Their mobile cart kept the decibels high and MC Amit got the crowd pumped up - Ceremony: Clear audio for both the nadaswaram (live musicians) and the priest - Reception: The dance floor stayed packed until the lights came on - Music Selection: We had an Indian / Sri Lankan crowd and wanted Tamil music (not some pre-set Bollywood playlist) The Design Center is challenging venue for acoustics (four stories high!) and he was able to wire everything up to make it work. The only knock is that it was tough to hear the speeches on the second floor. MC Amit is a high energy hype man and is the perfect complement to DJ Salim's sound and lighting skills. read more

Had an amazing time working with Salim! He was efficient, quick to respond, and so accommodative of any and all requests we had with playing music. We didn't have to give too much direction to him and he was able to get the crowd hyped with great music. Thank you again for making our event such a success! read more

DJ Salim and his team gave us a legendary dance floor at our Indian wedding reception! Typically at a lot of these events we always feel there's not enough of a mix between typical English and Indian music, but my god, the team absolutely CRUSHED it. We had a lot of people from many different backgrounds and everybody loved that the music cycled regularly from English to Hindi to even Tamil music. There was something for everyone and it made it so much more fun. You definitely cannot go wrong with DJ Salim and his team. read more

DJ Salim and his team were amazing and a total hit at our August 2022 wedding at Lake Tahoe. We were really excited to find Salim because as a mixed south Indian-white American couple, we really wanted a DJ who knew what the Indian side of our community wanted. When we spoke with Salim while interviewing DJs, we were pleased that he was very professional, knowledgeable about Indian weddings, and had experience playing for all kinds of wedding events. Salim and his team were easy to work with, so friendly, punctual, and helpful with providing details of what they needed from us to make everything go smoothly. They were great MCs and made everything sound excellent. Our friends and family said the dance party at our reception was fantastic, and we were impressed with how Salim and team played a great selection of the kind of music we'd requested (2000s hiphop and R&B, Reggaeton, Tamil music, and Hindi music). They did often quickly jump from song to song, and we wished they'd let songs play through more, but overall that was a minor issue compared to the great job they did! We're very grateful! read more

We are so glad we hired DJ Salim for our wedding! We had an Indian-Western fusion wedding in the morning with a lunch reception after. DJ Salim explained how a baraat works to a mostly non-Indian crowd and got them to bring so much energy for it! Also, we were a little unsure about whether our 1pm dance floor would get much love, but it was actually packed all afternoon long, thanks to DJ Salim! He took the time and effort to understand what we wanted and was great at reading the room. Highly recommend! read more

There aren't enough words to describe how incredible DJ Salim and his team were for our multi-day Indian wedding. At our Sangeet he ensured the sound quality was excellent for our 10+ family performances and kept the energy way up during our open dance floor. The baraat and ceremony went off without a hitch with his thoughtful music selection, and the reception was lit all night long with his incredible medley of Bollywood, Tamil and English pop songs. All our guests commented on how fun the dancing was all weekend long, and that was 100% because of DJ Salim's attention to detail and talents. Couldn't recommend him more highly!! read more

We absolutely loved having DJ Salim at our Hindu and Western blended wedding! He and his team did an incredible job MCing the event, made sure the songs and sound quality were on point, provided clip-in and handheld mics as needed, and made the atmosphere feel so festive. He was also a great communicator and it was so easy to work with him and get all the details organized. Would highly recommend hiring him for your wedding event needs. read more

We hired DJ Salim for our wedding reception and he held down the party on the dance floor...the WHOLE night! He was very receptive to our list of songs and we appreciated the range of songs he played outside of our list: Hindi songs during buffet service and the gradual transition into hip hop once the dance floor opened up. I would highly recommend DJ Salim to anyone looking to turn up at their next function! read more

DJ Salim provided sound, lighting and DJ service for the baraat, ceremony and reception at my wedding in Half Moon Bay, CA in August 2019. I am a very happy customer and he exceeded my expectations. It was seamless to work with him; from booking his services, to coordinating our music selection and day of logistics, he was quite easy and straightforward to work with. We set up calls prior to the day of to curate our playlist for the baraat and the reception, and not only did he play what we requested, he also was able to creatively mix our choices with the latest beats. During the baraat, he and his team did a great job energizing a crowd of nearly 400 - the mobile baraat cart with amplified sound was a hit! If you are planning a South Asian wedding in the Bay Area, you cannot go wrong choosing Salim. read more

DJ Salim and his team were the absolute best to work with for my Indian fusion wedding ceremony and reception! He was incredibly quick to reply, super organized, and followed through on every one of my asks & timeline changes/needs! He came equipped with clip in & handheld mics, super fun lights, and a massive variety of songs that made our (very long!) dance party last until the very last second. I can't recommend him enough - you won't regret hiring him for your event! read more

Salim is the BEST. Like so many others, our wedding was pushed from 2020 to 2023, with three different date changes, and Salim was flexible and understanding throughout. We ended up having a Sunday morning ceremony and afternoon lunch reception and I was worried no one would really let loose or dance much because of that timing. But thanks to Salim, the dance floor was packed the entire afternoon. He was great at reading the room and our guests were drawn back to the dance floor throughout the reception. He also did an excellent job at playing our requested music during the ceremony, including different songs for everyone waking down the aisle and specific songs we requested during different parts of the ceremony. I'm so glad we booked him. read more

Look no further if you're looking for a DJ who is easy to work with, creative and knows what the guests want. And it helps when a DJ loves his art. So glad we hired DJ Salim. He is very talented and worked our son's fusion wedding events effortlessly. He has an amazing range of song choices that fit every mood of the evening. We took his advice of adding a mobile baraat and boy, what a difference that made! He and the dhol player engaged with the groomsmen and it just made everything amazing. Glad we chose him. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better Sangeet and Baraat. A magical way to kick off summer, and every single guest was raving about not just the song selection and timing and atmosphere, but how much energy the dhol added to any song! And Salim is a blast to work with - helped us with some song mixing for Sangeet dances, always responded in a timely fashion, and made us feel immediately at ease. Can't wait to work with him again in the future read more

I am so happy we hired Salim to DJ our event. He was great to work with beforehand, arrived on time the day of to setup etc, and played amazing music both before the dancing and later to keep our guests on the dance floor for hours. I would recommend him highly and hope to work with him again. read more

DJ Salim is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning he was responsive and very easy to work with! From coordinating songs, logistics, and performances, he made the process easy for us. He provided lighting and music service at our sangeet, baraat, wedding ceremony, and reception. At every event, out guests loved the music and song selections. Everyone had a great time dancing at the baraat, sangeet and reception! I had actually worked with DJ Salim 13 years ago when he was the DJ at my sweet 16 and even then everyone loved the music. He has been in the industry for a long time therefore has been to our venue before and has also worked with our wedding planner & decorator before. This made it easy for them to all work together and coordinate logistics. My husband and I are very happy to be able to work with him again and would highly recommend him for any event! read more

Salim was an awesome DJ for my wedding day. Easy to work with, wonderfully priced and flexible with last minute changes. Anyone who is having a full fledged Indian wedding knows that it's complex and has many intricacies especially when it comes to traditions and family - and especially in relation to music and sound. Salim knew exactly what to play for my South Indian wedding when we mentioned it to him - for the two hour ceremony. He also closely followed my timeline and notes for the entire day. That's the other thing - he worked the entire DAY of my wedding with his team - again at a reasonable price point I couldn't find anywhere else. He also added up lights and DJ lighting that were a beautiful touch to my lunch and dinner receptions. Thanks Salim! read more

Dj Salim is absolutely incredible. Salim had dj'ed my wedding reception. And it was a hit. Everyone had fun. No one left the dance floor. Dj Salim is very understanding and when I told him what kinds of music my crowd likes he was on point. I will definitely recommend Salim to anyone looking for a Dj and will book him again myself in the near future. Note to Dj: thank you Salim for making my party a hit. read more

DJ Salim helped us with your wedding and reception at Casa Real, and he was such a pleasure to work with. His reception songs were so awesome and he took song suggestions all night. We really appreciated how helpful and responsive he was with our reception especially because there were so many moving parts. For the outdoor portions, he had a system set up and was willing to move it indoors later. So great to work with and would high recommend! read more

DJ Salim and his partner Vik are exactly what you want in DJs. It was important to me to have music that matched our event's flow, got our guests excited and set the overall mood. Don't skimp out the music for your wedding. Salim & Vik were really kind leading up to the wedding itself and performed exactly how we had hoped for the entire weekend. Vik even found me during my reception to double check if he could play a song that someone was requesting. Tip: like any vendor, just be super clear with your details, over communicate and be sure to secure early. read more

I've known Salim for for more than 10 years and have organized many not-for-profit events where he and his team have DJ'd including hosting Jay Sean and other superstars. Salim is professional, extremely good at communication and just on top of his music and technology. Earlier this year, I got engaged and called Salim to help out with my engagement party. He came by our house (where the events was held) ahead of time and made sure he was going to be all set and gauged how much sound he needed to provide. On the evening of the engagement party, he set up 2 hours ahead of time, and played chart topping tunes all night long. All the guests loved his taste and I didn't once have to worry about sound / music for the night. Thank you, Salim! read more

Salim and his team did a PHENOMENAL job at my son's recent wedding reception. The dance floor was high energy, great mix of music, lighting, and his team did a fantastic job with the emceeing as well. No one wanted to leave the party, kids were dancing until Salim wrapped up! Highly recommend Salim and team for any party! read more

After confirming with me over text and email (but refusing to sign a contract) he told me he could no longer do my wedding 2 months before my wedding. I had tried to hound this guy down for months. The last text I had from him was on January 20th where he said - "Yes sorry I was busy I'll send a contract by this weekend or Monday I've blocked that date for you" After that, I contacted him 10 times to no response. Months later, he tells me his friend is getting engaged so he can't do my wedding. I'm getting married on a popular Saturday in June. Every other DJ is booked. Now I have to use an untested DJ I don't know. I still have high hopes because at least that dj was professional enough to send me a contract. People this unreliable should not be in the services business. read more
