Silk Events made our wedding reception the talk of the weekend with how wonderfully they hosted our event as MC and DJ. Silk Events also provided amazing uplighting for our venue which is a modern industrial loft style space. Rishi kept our guests dancing for over two hours straight. My husband and I didn't leave the dance floor the entire night (minus saying goodbye to our parents)! He played a mix of hip-hop, Bollywood, bhangra, pop, and EDM to keep the party bumping. We've been gushing over the photos and videos of the dance floor because that was definitely a highlight for us. Our goal was to have a fantastic party to celebrate our marriage and Rishi brought just that to our venue. Several guests came to us after our wedding reception and complimented us on our DJ/MC team. We hope we get to attend another wedding with Silk Events because they kept our event literally and figuratively LIT. Thank you to you and your team, Rishi!! We are so happy with how our event turned out read more

Rishi and his team were incredible. We wanted a fusion Indian/Chinese/American wedding and Rishi's team did an incredible job, from the baraat (incredible dhol player), music for the multi-cultural ceremony, to the dance floor. Rishi kept the energy high all night, beautiful uplighting, and they were also able to accommodate a projector for a slideshow that my parents wanted to do. Incredible experience overall, 100% would recommend! read more

I just had my wedding and I felt compelled to leave a strong review. From the moment I first talked to Rishi I felt Silk events was a perfect fit for us. He understood right away what we were looking for and was very accommodating to our needs. We booked our DJ late in the process but felt that we were in good hands with Silk Events. You will see why people rate them so high. At the reception we had Reet and Sakshi. They really helped make it a special day. We had an Indian fusion wedding and they worked in an excellent mix of English, Hindi and Spanish songs. They were very well-prepared with our list of songs, and even did an impressive job working in a song for our parents without losing the crowd. They knew I was pickier with the songs so they made sure to ask if they had questions or if they had any recommendations, and the crowd loved their picks. I had multiple people, including one of my guests who is a DJ himself, tell me that Reet and Sakshi were phenomenal. Thank you so much guys! read more

Rishi and his team are amazing! We could not be more happy with how things turned out on our wedding day thanks to them. They are also very reasonably priced - you really can't go wrong with Silk Events! From the very beginning Rishi was very communicative and answered all of our questions. He also came to a meeting with the hotel to help us make decisions for the big day. Rishi had already been signed up for another wedding on our day, but he paired us with Rushi, who was absolutely fantastic. We wanted a blend of Indian and American music, and we didn't give him a lot of direction about what kind of songs we wanted. Even still, I loved every single song he played. I also had people come up to me and comment how fantastic the DJ was, and they counted him among the best they've heard! I definitely agree. I highly recommend Silk Events for your wedding/ special occasion. They are without a doubt the best. read more

We decided to work with SILK Events for our Indian wedding in downtown Boston after having seen them operate at other local events, and we were delighted with their performance. Rishi brings a personal touch to his interactions with clients; he was very flexible in setting up our phone meetings leading up to the big day in a way that was convenient for our schedule. As our needs shifted over the course of wedding planning, Rishi was able to flexibly update our initial contract to include multiple projectors and uplighting. He was very thorough in putting together a set list that fit our diverse musical tastes, which he took the time to understand in our planning meetings. We had several performances on the day of the wedding including speeches, songs, and dances - each with a specific background track - and Rishi managed the entire program without a hitch. We requested multiple styles of music during different periods ranging from classic Bollywood to modern Top 40, and Rishi delivered on all counts. He has a tremendous ability to transition seamlessly between Indian and American music on the dance floor, which was a huge hit with our guests. He was professional and a pleasure to work with at all stages of the process. In addition, we were able to work with Shruti at LoveDECOR for decoration during the wedding and the two of them were able to work together to provide a discount on a joint contract. read more

Silk Events and the team Rishi, Navin, Amit, Rushin were absolutely amazing. If you want the kind of wedding or event where everyone is complimenting the music afterwards - go with these guys. They had our wedding party dancing for 7 hours straight with a mix of indian and western! Before the wedding, Rishi and his team invested the time and energy to coordinate with our other vendors to ensure the entire weekend would be a seamless success. They absolutely went above and beyond and I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone! read more

We hired Silk Events to DJ our wedding on May 30, 2020. Because of the pandemic, our wedding did not happen. In fact, our wedding venue filed bankruptcy and we lost our venue deposit. My wife and I were not interested in spending more money to do the event at another venue, so we got married at the courthouse. When I approached Rishi about this, he pushed very hard not to return our deposit of $1900 with him. We insisted we would rather have the money back since we had already lost a large amount of money. Long story short, he refused to return our deposit after having done nothing for us and we were out even more money. We are currently attempting to get our money back through small claims court. I would avoid this business at all costs. Rishi is a careless, incompetent, greedy individual who I would never do business with again. Hope I wasn't unclear! read more

Rishi and his team were excellent. Their professionalism and skill are unparalleled. We were very much looking for someone who could blend both of our cultures throughout our multiple days of ceremonies. After speaking with several friends and family members who had celebrated multicultural weddings in the past few years, we learned of Rishi. He was highly recommended, and we were very pleased with his work. He took the time to get to know us before the wedding and understand what kind of music we liked. There wasn't a song played that we didn't love. He brought a level of energy that truly elevated our celebration. There was never a lull in the festivities. He knew exactly how to read the room, playing such a great selection of songs that continuously kept spirits high. He kept the dance floor vivacious all night long, really getting guests of all ages involved. We love a good dance floor and knew we had to have that at our wedding to make it a truly special occasion. He gave that to us, and we couldn't be more grateful. The memories we made with our friends and family those nights will last with us forever. As an emcee, he helped our wedding to flow so seamlessly between events. He had his timing down perfectly. The best man and maid of honor speeches, the father daughter dance, the cake cutting, our final song at the end of the night - he transitioned so seamlessly to each event. All our guests knew exactly what was happening and when, so we could all collectively focus on each special moment. He had a charisma and presence to him that really drew everyone in. He engaged wholeheartedly with everyone there, and we really appreciated that. Thank you so much for making our wedding the party we always wanted!! read more

Rishi and his whole team are absolutely incredible. We heard them play at our friends' wedding and knew then that we had to have them at our own. They did not disappoint. Every single person was on the dance floor the entire time. Amazing, amazing, amazing, to say the least. We will recommend them to everyone we know! read more

Rishi and the Silk Events team were awesome! We had a mixed American and Indian wedding at the Liberty Hotel in downtown Boston. Our ceremony was outside in the courtyard, and Rishi's equipment provided loud and crystal clear music for our wedding party's entrance. One main reason we went with Silk Events as our DJ was because we saw that Rishi can play the dhol (Indian drum). I'm not exaggerating when I say that I still get chills thinking back on how amazing it sounded when the music faded and Rishi started pounding the drum to announce our entrance! We can't say enough good things about our reception (in the Liberty ballroom). Silk Events provided some of the best uplighting that we've ever seen, and Rishi's performance that night was off the chain - he kept our guests pumped up as we changed; he introduced our family members like a champ; even before the wedding night, he mixed several songs for us and our family members to dance to; I LOVED that he took our requests and interacted with the guests, but also didn't need any direction at all. They know what they are doing: he had a constant stream of excellent music - American and Bollywood. Every single guest danced from the beginning of the night until they kicked us out ;) Since the wedding, we've gotten so many messages telling us that it was the most fun they'd had in years, and I know that a large part of that was due to the excellent services provided by Rishi and Silk Events. Rishi and his team come with our highest recommendation! read more

I hired Rishi and Silk Events for our wedding in May 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge. Rishi and his team did a phenomenal job and we could not have been more pleased! He did an amazing job with LEDs and spotlights that accentuated and highlighted the 180 degree view of the Charles and Boston skyline beautifully, in a way that I would have never imagined! He also DJ'd our event, which included several dance/singing performances. He went above and beyond in that he made several mixes for some of the performances. We traded a huge number of emails and many painstaking phone conversations, in order to get the timings exactly right! For the Baraat, Rishi supplied a van with speakers and played Dhol throughout. The Baraat was amazing! My husband danced up a storm with his family and friends. The dhol complemented the music perfectly and added that extra energy which is needed for a Baraat. For the reception, at the last minute we decided the lighting I had originally decided on would probably clash with the decor. I entrusted Rishi with the task of selecting a new lighting pattern and color, and the results could not have been any better! He also designed a custom monogram for us which looked awesome! Rishi also DJ'd the reception and he did a great job announcing family and bridal party, with his high energy, clear and concise announcing voice! Everyone loved the music he played as well, which was a good mix of Bollywood and American music. The whole night was high-energy and people did not leave the dance floor. My one critique would be in the future to make sure that he goes through a couple's playlist (if they have provided one) so that he is certain about which songs they absolutely want played at some point during the night. I would not recommend anyone else but Silk Events. Rishi is an amazing guy to work with- he is responsive, innovative, and easygoing. He will deliver nothing but the best results and make sure that you are more than happy! read more

Our DJ Rishi and our Dholi Sudeep were both incredible! Three weeks after our wedding, my friends are still talking about them. Our Boston based Turkish-Indian wedding party included 30 Turks, 20 Americans, 12 Indians, and 15 from other nations. So in principle we wanted a DJ who could please American, Indian, and Turkish guests. But we did not do an extensive DJ search or give Rishi a lot of pointers. I sent him a not-well-organized list of Turkish songs 4 days before the party; we talked on the phone twice going over simple logistics. With the effort we had put into it, we thought we would get a regular fun bollywood party, which we would have been ok with. We got so much more. It was hard to believe Rishi did not know his Turkish music until few days before the party. He knew when to play which song from any background, and he was able to transition from Indian to Turkish to American incredibly smoothly. From the moment the party started till the end of the night, the dancing did not stop. On top of being an amazing DJ, he was also very accomodating to the requests the guests made at random intervals. He and his set up were very professional in terms of any criteria I can think of, timeliness, sound system, lights, MCing. I can't thank or recommend Rishi enough. And Sudeep. He is a very skillful dhol player and party intensifier. He was able to join any Turkish, Indian, American song, and knew exactly when to jump in. We are very glad we decided to have a Dholi, and are extra thankful that he chose to keep on partying with us through the night even though we had hired him for an hour of his time. read more

Rishi and his team were unbelievable for our wedding. We had received a recommendation for Silk Events prior to our wedding and I don't think we could have made a better choice. From the first call we had, we felt at ease and knew we would be taken care of. We only had a few points about how we wanted the night to go, and Rishi took care of the rest. From an amazing blend of background music, Hindi music, and American music, Rishi knew exactly how to work the crowd, bring the energy levels, and keep people on the dance floor all night. He also handled several of our last minute changes with ease and even met with us separately to help with some details of our ceremony (mobile speaker, dhol, etc.) that we needed handled. I can't speak highly enough of Rishi and the team. This is one decision that really made our weekend a success. read more

We hired Rishi's team for our Labor Day weekend wedding. He was the dj for the Sangeet event and set up the audio/music for the Hindu ceremony the following morning. My wife has said it many times since our wedding: "I'm so happy we went with Rishi! It was a late but important decision, and it worked out so well". He reached out before the event to coordinate with both myself and my cousin, the MC for the evening. I found his emails and phone calls to be very thoughtful and comforting. For the actual event: the dancefloor was packed the entire night, and the transitions between Sangeet performances were very smooth. He picked the right blend of Indian and American music to keep people going. A small detail I appreciated was that he didn't promote his own company with a big sign or introduce himself. Rishi did the event right and I would easily recommend him for an Indian wedding or Sangeet. Keep up the great work! read more

Hiring Rishi and his team was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Silk Events handled the lighting for our corporate event and wow were we impressed. Rishi met with me during the venue walkthrough to go over some quick details. I told him what our CEO likes and he truly brought my imagination to life. Not only was he easy to work with, but he also went above and beyond and connected with the band that we had hired to ensure a successful event. Rishi was calm throughout the process and knew exactly what needed to be done. My CEO and every member of our company were impressed with the quality of work, detail, and outcome. I can't thank Rishi enough for all that he did to make this event what it was. We hold our vendors to a very high standard and Rishi definitely surpassed that standard in every possible way. We are excited about our continued partnership for all corporate events moving forward. read more

Hiring Silk Events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had a multi-day wedding across multiple venues in Camden, Maine. We weren't actually sure what we wanted for sound and lights, so Rishi made a bunch of suggestions, all of which turned out great. Friday night, Rishi DJ'd the sangeet and threw some awesome lights up on the tent roof. The party was great. Saturday morning he played the dhol and led my family and friends in an epic baraat with me on horseback down Central Street in Rockport. At the last minute we asked him to officiate the milni for us, and we did a great job. Then he and his assistant managed the sound for our Indian wedding ceremony. It was flawless. That night Rishi worked with our band to DJ the reception. He and the band alternated songs seamlessly. The band, Do I Do, worked really well with him. The band/DJ combo was awesome. We had a such a great time with Rishi that we invited him and his wife to our wedding brunch the following day. BTW, his wife did a fantastic job on my bride's hair and makeup. read more

We had a kind of weird wedding where we did a hybrid Indian and Western event so we wanted some Indian music and some Western music but wanted to avoid current top-twenty stuff. DJ Reet and DJ Sai were super accommodating and professional, kindly and respectfully listened to our ideas, and then managed to play music that made our heterogenous mix of guests happy at the event. They also managed a really challenging audio situation at our rural venue where we needed a different audio set-up for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing (four different speaker set-ups in four different locations!). I felt confident knowing that DJ Reet and DJ Sai were managing all the various audio challenges we had. They were both also just pleasant, friendly people to work with on our wedding day! read more

We loved having Rishi and Silk Events as the DJ and lights for our wedding! He was one of our favorite, if not most favorite, vendor to work with. He was very professional, charming, creative, thoughtful and a great listener. He made the process so easy and not stressful! As a same-sex couple getting married in a traditional Indian/Hindu wedding, we were originally a bit nervous, but Rishi put as ease. He told us he had done gay weddings before, and honestly they are the pretty much the same as straight weddings from a music/lights perspective. Most importantly, his dance music was AWESOME and our friends and family had the most epic time dancing to Bollywood and bhangra music from his playlist. I was so pleased!! He also did our background music beautifully for our wedding ceremony, cocktail reception and the dinner/cake cutting. Everything was just perfect! Very glad we went with Rishi and can't recommend him and his team highly enough. The uplighting he did was beautiful for Taj Boston and it gave us a really elegant and lovely look for our reception. read more

Rishi was awesome! I've been to a lot of weddings, and he was one of the best DJ's I've seen! He was entertaining to the guests, teaching the non-Indian guests how to dance to the Indian music that the bride requested. He also played his dhol, as requested, for part of our dance performance, and it was perfect! The guests had a great time and had nothing but great things to say about the DJ. He was really nice and professional, and I would 100% recommend his services! read more

DJ Rishi and his crew were so professional and ready on time for our party. I really appreciated that! Also, the music was awesome! I liked how they used my list but also had a lot of their own good songs! They were great at reading the crowd. I highly recommend them! read more

Rishi did the lighting, DJ/dhol and MC services for my wedding in July 2015. We loved how flexible and easy to work with Rishi was. In addition, he was very responsive and got back to us immediately- which isn't always the case with vendors! The wedding event was amazing and had everyone talking about Rishi's services for months and months! The dhol and music at the baraat was high energy, the music had everyone going crazy on the dance floor, the lighting was gorgeous and so were the monograms on the wall, and the MCing set the mood just right. I would definitely recommend Rishi for wedding events in the future, he will make sure you and your whole family are happy! read more

Rishi and Rushi at Silk events were AMAZING. Rishi, the owner, was great to work with -- responsive, very flexible and adaptable to our complicated wedding schedule and needs, and affordable. Rushi was a GREAT DJ and MC the day of our wedding. He took the time to know our schedule, learn and verify the pronunciation of all the wedding party's names, and was on point throughout the night. As far as DJ-ing -- he was amazing. Many of our guests told us he was the best DJ they've ever had at a wedding. Music was spot on, transitions were seamless, and he adapted the music to what people liked to keep the dance floor going all evening. I could not recommend them more highly. read more

I can't say enough great things about Silk Events and the work that Rishi and his team does! We initially found Rishi while looking for a DJ for both our Indian and American wedding and chose him for his great personality and energy. After seeing the amazing pictures of he and his wife's lighting and decor setups of other weddings, we decided to use their decor services (loveDECOR) as well! Silk Events was detail oriented throughout the entire process and had no problem sitting down with us for hours at a time to make sure they got everything right for our complex wedding. They were able to not only listen to our ideas, but expand upon them and make our wedding more fun than we could have imagined. Silk Events was a part of every bit of our day; from the Baraat where Rishi managed to get an awesome party going at 9:30 in the morning, to music and microphones for both the Indian and American ceremonies and ending with the reception. We've had multiple people tell us that our reception was the most fun that they had ever been to and I give Silk Events a lot of credit for that. The music selection, lighting, and overall atmosphere that they created was incredible and we will never forget it! read more

There are only two words I can use to describe SILK Events: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! May of 2016, I had a three day Indian wedding in Massachusetts, I had researched various DJ-ing services in the area and I am so glad that at the end of the day...I chose SILK Events. Throughout the process, Rishi was always 100% professional and committed. He constantly made time to answer our phone calls, meet us personally to discuss details and he is by far, the fastest email replier ever. Rishi was there whenever we needed him, that extra mile he was always willing to go stuck with me, and made me realize that we hired the correct team for the job. Not to mention, him and Jay reviewed my 3 day itineraries to the smallest detail to make sure everything on each day went smooth and as planned. I hired SILK Events for their DJ services, lighting, projectors and everything was exceptional, Rishi handled Day 1 of my wedding and Jay handled Days 2 & 3. SILK Events provides many other great entertainment services, trust me, Rishi and his team are multi-talented, they will have you covered in whatever you need and be great at it. Our wedding atmosphere, the music selection, lighting, and just kind people, was overall an amazing experience. Thank you Rishi and Jay for all your hard work and dedication, my family continues to mention how professional and great you were during our wedding and the guests still speak about the fun celebrations you helped create. Rashad and I wish you much more success! Keep up the great parties! read more
