From the first day we started working with Aumir and Escape Entertainment, we knew the music at our events was going to be exactly what we wanted. What we did not know was how kind, professional, and dedicated Aumir would be! Music was the most important part of the wedding for me and so finding a DJ that got excited about music and was willing to work with my eclectic taste was very important to me. Aumir was just that. We had multiple meetings in which he came over to our home for 2-3 hours to go through different playlists, "must plays", "do not plays", etc. Since Aumir is experienced at what he does, he was able to really help us create an itinerary as well. After every conversation and meeting with Aumir, I not only got more excited about the music, but I just felt more calm about the entire wedding planning process because he was able to give us very useful advice and help us organize things. As expected, the music was absolutely fire! My family could not stop talking about the Baraat and my friends couldn't stop talking about the Reception. Aumir totally catered to what we wanted to hear and his mixes and transitions had people coming up to us all night telling us how great the DJ was. Even our other vendors, including coordinators, told us how much they loved working with Aumir! Aumir and Escape Entertainment were able to provide awesome lighting, Dholi, and had connections to provide many other entertainment options! Do yourself a favor, do your dancing feet a favor, do your friends and family a favor - hire Escape Entertainment for your wedding! The party won't stop, the music will be amazing, and people will have a fun time! read more

We were fortunate enough to have Aumir, Saagar and Naveen for our wedding in Phoenix. It was absolutely amazing! We had most of our family and friends from NYC/LA who came in with high expectations from other weddings. Every guest I talked to said that this was some of the best music they had ever heard at an Indian event. Starting from the beginning, Aumir played an incredibly active role in helping carve out the vision for all of our events. He was very detail oriented and worked with all of our vendors. This was especially challenge since he was coming from out of town, but he made the process very seamless. My wife and I are a mix of Gujarati, North Indian and Tamil. Needless to say, getting everyone excited about the music was a tough task. Aumir, Saagar and Naveen, did an amazing job for both days. The mixed in garba, bhangra, bollywood and western music without missing a beat. Their music and lighting vision helped create distinct themes for our Sangeet, Wedding/Baraat and the reception. Saagar was an incredible talent. His dhol skills are second to none. He was always out on the dance floor energizing the crowd. His ability to blend in the with the music without being too overbearing is just amazing. He even helped out at the last minute in a pinch for our vidhi. Lastly, during the reception, they did an amazing job at dinner with Saagar fusing together his tabla with the DJ music. Simply put, this was one of the best choices we made and could not be more thrilled with our decision! read more

We had Aumir DJ our sangeet and reception nights three weeks ago and we are still having guests rave about him! We met with him in person several months out and he took the time to walk us through all the details, offered helpful suggestions, and was very considerate and willing to work with our vision. He also created a personalized mix for us with some songs we selected to hear his style and we knew he would deliver based on this initial interaction. Not only did he deliver but he went beyond our expectations - he kept the dance floor crowded both nights with the perfect fusion of Bollywood and Western songs (about a third of our guests were non- South Asian and everyone was on the dance floor at the same time). Aumir was reading and reacting to our guests and ourselves and he we can't express how happy we are that we chose him to DJ our wedding weekend. We also hired Saagar, a tabla player recommended by him, for the sangeet and they were so in sync it was amazing - all the guests absolutely loved them. He even complemented the English songs blending everything in perfect harmony. Of all our vendors, these guys were definitely worth every penny. They have so much talent and are so kind and humble - a rare combination and an absolute must hire to make your sangeet/wedding a memorable one!! read more

We hired DJ Aumir to be our reception DJ on Saturday, June 30th, 2018. He was simply excellent! He met with us a few times before the wedding so he could understand the kind of music we wanted played throughout the event. We were also able to run through the entire timeline with him. The first important thing for us to make sure that we actually get along well, which we did. He is also very personable and we made great conversation with him, felt like we got along and he understood what we were looking for very well. We were looking for a DJ that could play, English, Hindi, Spanish and some middle-eastern music. DJ Aumir fit that bill as he was able to execute on all those requirements. On the day of the reception, he had an amazing set up, even better than we had expected. The lights were mounted high and the speakers were huge and very effective. He did such an amazing job, especially when the dance floor opened up, that he was able to keep our guests, young and old, on the dance floor till the end of the night. We had a TON of people (including vendors) tell us that our DJ was amazing! We danced our feet off, until we were shut the place down! We were looking for a DJ to keep our guests dancing all night long and couldn't have picked a better DJ than DJ Aumir. read more

We had DJ Aumir for two events, our mehendi and for our wedding reception! Honestly it was one of the best decisions we made! Normally whenever I went to desi weddings, I wouldn't see many people on the dance floor besides immediate family and close relatives. That was definitely not the case and both our families do not dance at all! To my surprise, EVERYONE was on the dance floor having the time of their lives on both days! He played a great mix of desi and hip hop/pop/etc! Aumir knew how to keep the tempo going and he totally killed it! We had the best time and we honestly got so many compliments about the DJ! Even the entrances were done so flawlessly! The transitions between songs were seamless! If he received odd song requests that didn't go with the vibe, he would ask us if we wanted to play it anyways and we appreciated that! When we were trying to figure out a budget of the wedding, we didn't know quite how much a DJ costs. It is expensive, but I can say it's 100% worth every penny! He was really patient with us and didn't need that much direction from us which was nice because wedding planning is overwhelming! Thank you Aumir for making our wedding so memorable! read more

I have used the Beat Guru for a number of years for a variety of functions ranging from weddings, Dholkis, birthday parties etc. and most recently I used him for my sons Bismillah party, which he delivered on yet again! He was very professional throughout the whole process listening to what we would like, what the tone should be, when he should play what for that special moment. He always arrives early to ensure he has lots of time to set up his awesome set (which differs based on the tone of the party) and to trouble shoot any issues so you have a flawless event. The most impressive skill I like with The Beat Guru is his ability to mix between Indian and American music. He does it so flawlessly and the tunes are old and new (based on your preference) and his dance floor is always jam packed! My last function had a very mixed crowd of Indian and American guests and everyone loved the music. Can't wait to see the see videos of the dance-off:) Lastly, during our last event, our MC was sick so The Beat Guru stepped in and made all the -announcements for us- it was a total value add!!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Escape Entertainment for my brother's wedding festivities. They were awesome! Since the moment I booked them for the mehndi, shaadi and valima they were nothing but professional and courteous. They were incredibly organized and on time to every single event. Any questions I had were promptly answered by Aumir. I received many compliments about the DJs, tabla and dhol player from the guests who thought they were amazing. I had also hired Escape Entertainment to provide the room lighting for the valima reception and it was beautiful! It was money well spent because it made the hall and decorations look 10 times better. The cool thing about the lighting was that the colors of the lights were able to be changed throughout the night by one control. We had a different color theme for the entrance, dinner and dancing. I also received a lot of compliments on the lighting. It was a pleasure to work with Escape Entertainment. I have already hired them for all of my other family events. I look forward to working with them again. read more

One word- WOW! DJ Aumir you outdid yourself! From the beginning Aumir was easy to communicate with, understood our vibe we wanted for our wedding, and was very professional the entire process. From picking songs, to editing first dances, to working on a timeline to make sure our reception was flawless- Aumir nailed it! Aumir did an oustanding job of keeping us on schedule during our reception, communicating with us if anything was needed, and most importantly kept the party going! I am Mexican and my husband is Ukrainian, so to keep such a diverse crowd dancing all night is not an easy task. Aumir did a fantastic job of feeling out the vibe of the dance floor the entire night and changing the music (if needed) to keep the dance floor packed. Aumir did such a great job I actually had a BOKA catering company Bartender tell me this was one of the best weddings he has seen in a long time. I would 1000% recommend DJ Aumir for your next event or wedding. You will NOT be disappointed and your feet will sure be hurting at the end of the night :) read more

Its a matter of great pleasure writing this review for Escape Entertainment. We had requested Aumir to play at my brothers wedding recently and he has done a marvellous job. Besides that, the venue would have lacked that touch of elegance and sophistication without their expertise in the lighting. Thanks to him and others who were deeply involved with the planning and execution, the event turned out absolutely perfect. Speaking of Aumir, he was thoroughly professional, and prompt in his response. He was patient and complied to all our requests. He was just as involved with the planning of the event as the rest of us. His ability to officially host the event was commendable. In the end I will conclude by saying Escape Entertainments did justice to our event and it was money well spent. We would gladly hire them again for our future events. read more

DJ Aumir was absolutely amazing! We had no clue about the wedding reception process and he kindly advised us through the whole thing. He seamlessly created the best Indian-American fusion playlist. We wanted him to play older American songs mixed with current American music fused with Indian Bollywood songs and the result was amazing! Each song transitioned smoothly to the next, it never felt off or forced. Each song was perfectly timed where you got to enjoy the song enough to dance and then he would move onto the next song. He literally played hit after hit. My friends were telling me that they've never been to a wedding where so many people stayed on the dance floor and how amazing our DJ was! We went to three weddings right after ours and my siblings and I keep saying how Aumir was legit the best! read more

Just Awesome!! Beat Guru has been the Go-To DJ for all our events. We have had him for events such as Garba celebration, Bhangara event, Bollywood night and many more. He always has a good collection of songs and plays music based on event type. Is very organized and experienced when handling of any requests made. He is really professional with his services but is the perfect person to set mood for any kind of event. We even have had many guests requesting the details for the DJ for the future events they would like him to perform. Really would like to thank him for performing at our recent Bhangara event and would really like to recommend him to anyone looking for an awesome DJ. read more

No words can describe how thankful we are that Aumir DJ'd our wedding. We had an intercultural wedding so there was a wide variety of music. Everything from the ceremony songs, background music, to the dance floor was perfectly what we envisioned. Before the event, Aumir really took the time to speak with us about the weekend itinerary and made us feel so reassured that the weekend would run smoothly (and it went better than imagined!!) Not only is he an amazing DJ, but he was such a thoughtful and kind person to work with. We had so many of our guests asking who our DJ was and complimenting the music throughout the weekend! Highly recommend for your events!! :) read more

We hired DJ Aumir for our 3 day destination wedding in Mexico. He worked closely with us to understand our music choice and did a fantastic job putting it together and keeping the dance floor going throughout the events. He was particularly great in finding good transitions between Hindi and English music given we wanted a mix of the 2. Aside from that, he was also extremely diligent in terms of showing up the events well ahead of time to make sure everything was in order. The guests really liked him and his music choice as well and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to any of our friends for their Wedding. read more

We had Aumir as our DJ at our wedding a couple months back and I can't even describe what a great decision that was. During one of our events, there was a miscommunication and the dance performance that we had scheduled never got a mixed tape made. Even though we thought that was going to be the end of that, Aumir worked some quick magic and managed to make the performance happen. For the wedding he was very organized making sure our entrance was flawless and the whole event went just as planned! I can't tell you the number of people that asked us for his information! read more

We had the pleasure of meeting Aumir from Escape Entertainment in September 2017 at a friend's wedding. We loved the variety of music from 90s to today's hits to Indian music so much that we asked his availability for our wedding in May 2018. We had a blast at our wedding and a lot of the fun times were surrounded by all of our family and friends dancing the nights away at our Friday night event (Sangeet) and our Saturday night reception. In addition, Aumir was down to earth and catered to the crowd and us very easily. The music played reflected us! read more

I have to say hands down the best choice for a DJ! Aumir was incredibly professional as were the two guys who assisted him. Aumir made the whole experience so much fun! Guests kept saying it was one of the best wedding receptions they've been to! Everyone was dancing! Young and the not so young! Lol! Even the servers were dancing on the side of the hall!! That speaks volumes! He worked with what we needed and gave his advice on how to make the occasion so special! Highly recommend him for your next party! read more

We highly recommend DJ Aumir (Beat Guru) from Escape Entertainment. He has been the DJ for our non-profit fundraiser for the past 3 years. The guests love his choice of music, his ability to read the crowd, and his DJ skills. As the coordinator, I appreciate his communication skills, his knowledge of the technology, the ability to quickly problem solve, and his enthusiasm for wanting everything to be perfect. We will be using them again for the 4th time this year! read more

Aumir was easiest, most helpful wedding vendor I have ever worked with. He did all the lighting and audio work. The lighting was immaculateHe was a great MC and was very knowledgeable of all cultural traditions. Best mix of Pakistani / Indian and American music that kept the dance floor lively at all times. I have recommended him to my friends and every friend would give a 10/10. If any questions you can reach me at yarukc@gmail.com. read more

We had the pleasure of having Dj Aumir play at our wedding. It was a phenomenal experience. He helped my wife and I organize our wedding and helped generate an entire itinerary. His lighting set up was incredible and the guests could not get enough of his music selection. He was able to customize his performance to our specific needs and he was able to deliver on all ends! Hands down, the best decision we made for our entire wedding! read more
