If you're looking for a DJ that will keep everyone entertained and keep the party going - Umair is your guy. I hired Umair to DJ my wedding weekend - it was a typical Indian event (around 300 people), and there were 3 main events he had to have sound and lighting set up for (Sangeet, Baraat/Wedding Ceremony, and Cocktail Hour/Reception). Umair is extremely responsive to emails. He set up calls with us to go through what type of music we were into / the vibe that we wanted, and also to go over the feel that we wanted each of our events to have. He asked us for some of our favorite songs and example songs we'd want at each event, so he could curate the perfect playlist. He doesn't just make assumptions with what you want - I had sent him a link for our bride and groom walk out song into the reception, and had messed up on the timings when I had sent them to him. He called me to clarify and understand exactly where I wanted the song to start. The weekend started with the Sangeet - we had some last minute changes to music a few weeks before and Umair handled it so professionally. He had everything ready on the day and cued up perfectly. The groom's Baraat started on a boat, and then ended with a walking portion. Umair was able to get us a Dhol player and sound station for the boat, and then was able to keep the music and party going when the Groom got off and started to walk. The reception, we had asked Umair for a DJ booth LED screen (to cover the DJ booth to add more of a "club" vibe), and had it hiding behind the couch before we did the grand reveal after the main program was over. It was exactly what I wanted, and the lighting that Umair had set up was perfect for the overall vibe that I was going for. We also asked for a Dhol player again, and the team was able to produce. They also worked well with the violinist we had hired to make sure that she was set up and ready to play when the guests started arriving. Umair was a great MC - he had people engaged and laughing all weekend. His skills go way beyond just DJing, and you can tell he has a presence and a way with people. I'm so glad that we decided to go with him as the MC for our Sangeet and Reception. No matter the event, if there was music, people were dancing. He was able to create sets that catered to everyone, whether they were 7 years old, or 70 years old. All of my guests raved about the music and were so impressed with the music/mixes. There were 0 technical difficulties - no music cutting out or lighting not working or mics giving feedback. Everything was absolutely perfect, and you could tell that the entire team was professional and worked very hard to make the event as perfect as possible. He worked extremely closely with my wedding planner to make sure that everything was 100% what I needed for each event. The hotel we had our reception at didn't allow cold sparklers (which I really wanted for the grand entrance). Umair fought tooth and nail to try to bring my vision to life (even though unfortunately the cold sparklers didn't happen, but to no fault of Riamu Entertainment's). He went above and beyond in that sense - a lot of other DJs would have just given up. But Umair was ready to talk to whoever was needed, whether it be at the hotel or the city or the fire marshals, to make it happen. Umair makes magic happen. He will make your wedding the party you have always wanted. I highly highly highly recommend hiring Umair / Riamu Entertainment! We can't thank the entire team enough for such a magical and fun weekend :) read more

If I could give 10 stars on here I definitely would! We are so grateful that we booked with Umair and his team for our wedding. He was easy to communicate with throughout our whole wedding process! he would jump on a call with us anytime we had questions or needed advice. He was very honest about what we would need in terms of lighting and never tried to talk us into anything or upsell us on anything we did not want or were comfortable with. He was on point with his music selection (there was a good amount of times I asked him to select the music based on what he thought was appropriate), keeping the crowd engaged, and most importantly kept the party going. He even jumped in and danced in my husbands baarat which my guest loved! His staff was also amazing! We cant wait to book him again at our future events! Thank you Umair & team so making our wedding so memorable! read more

Umair and his team were an absolute dream to work with. Umair was extremely responsive leading up to our wedding and reception, provided some guidance on music that we could choose for different aspects of our ceremony AND made sure to have a phone call with us to walk through the songs selected so that we were all on the same page. Music and lighting went seamless during our wedding - including a surprise bridal performance during the baraat. This one was a surprise to almost everyone in attendance so being able to pull this off was a huge deal and Umair was instrumental in making it happen! To date, Umair has been the best reception DJ I've ever encountered and I'm not just saying that because it was our reception! We heard so many compliments from our guests and that included many elderly family members too! Umair MC'd our event and made sure all of our reception performances went well, too. We had a wide range of music tastes amongst our guests and Umair listened to what we wanted and kept an eye out for what was working for our guests on the dance floor. He blended English and Hindi music so smoothly, transitioning between the classics and some of the newer songs. The dance floor was packed the entire time and this was a huge testament to Umair and his team! I frequently think back to our reception and wish I could go back and dance the night away! I would work with Umair again in a heartbeat!!! I cannot recommend him enough! The entire team is talented with all things music and lighting and they're also very, very kind-hearted, fun individuals which elevates the whole experience read more

Umair is a complete professional. He is very experienced and knows his stuff. He keeps the party going at every event, does not miss a beat, and plays great track after great track. You are in safe hands with him, and he comes at a very reasonable price. My partner and I went through 20 vendors in the SoCal area and he was by far the highest value for what we had budgeted - even the higher-priced competitors did not have nearly his level of expertise. We had a 300 person Indian wedding with multiple baraats and changing requirements and he juggled it extremely well. Would recommend strongly. read more

Umair did an amazing job with his team to make sure the party never stopped at each event. Our wedding guests had such an awesome time from the Baraat to dancing all night long for both the sangeet and reception. His team including DJ Pratik, DJ groovy Lu, and Aamir were able to create the perfect mix for our Indian/Latin fusion wedding with our favorite jams catering to the diversity of the crowd including Bollywood, Telugu, salsa, and reggaeton. We opted to have Umair be our MC for each event, and he killed it. He was detailed and organized wanting to go over the timeline of each event before the wedding to meet our vision. If you're looking for a DJ look no further, Riamu Entertainment is the team to choose! To the RIAMU team, thank you for memories we will never forget! read more

We hired Riamu entertainment for our wedding weekend (including Henna, Haldi, as well as wedding+reception). From the get-go, Umair and his team were complete professionals. Prior to the wedding, he was such a great communicator despite his busy schedule. Umair and his team came early to set up and prepared their part well before our events started. This is a DJ company you can trust and rely on with years of experience in the field. He already was well aware of our South Indian traditions and played music accordingly for all our events. Umair hyped up our guests during all events and is literally the perfect DJ. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Highly highly recommend! read more

Hired Umair to DJ our Walima and let me just get this out of the way from the start: he killed it!! I emailed him an outline of the event before the day of the event and was worried if he'd be able to MC the event as I had envisioned it. But my fears were quickly assuaged when at the start of the event I saw him organizing our entrances, which I wasn't expecting for him to do. He was very helpful with organizing and we didn't even have to ask him! Music was on point as well and he delivered with a mix of different songs. But not only did he do a great job DJing/MCing, he also helped my bride and I throughout the event. For instance, he got us water while we were busy on stage being bombarded by all the guests. The phrase that he spoke that stuck with me the most was, "I'm more then just a DJ!" And so he is! I would 100% recommend Umair for his DJ/MC services at your wedding. I am very happy with how everything was handled by him and would definitely hire him again for any future events. read more

I will start and end this review with the same comment..."I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RIAMU ENTERTAINMENT!" My now wife and I hired Umair to perform a fusion wedding that incorporated both the Hindu and Christian wedding ceremonies, and we nor our guests were disappointed. This encompassed everything from the Baraat, to music at both ceremonies (and intermission), cocktail hour services, and of course, the reception. And I must say, that he and his staff are true professionals through and through. For those who want a short review, there it is. I highly recommend. However, for those who would like some additional details on why I highly recommend, please read on. Below are a list of just a few reasons I wanted to share: **Communication - Umair was not only really responsive to emails and phone calls, but he made himself always available to verbally discuss if needed. In our case, we had numerous questions surrounding a fusion wedding and his experience, and he was always happy to share his suggestions and opinions which we not only appreciated, but helped make our wedding better. **Flexibility - As time approached our wedding, there was lots of minor changes to timeline, song order, etc., and Umair was always accommodating and flexible. Additionally, as with any large event, there was some hiccups on the day of outside of his control, and he adapted through it all. **MCing services - This by far was the biggest bonus of all of his services. Sure, from everything I had heard, I expected him to be top notch from a DJing standpoint. And he did not disappoint. But Umair's MCing skills was well above what I expected. Aside from being funny, clear, and entertaining overall, he was super tuned in with not only the wedding coordinator, but with the guests to help facilitate anything that needed to be done. From explaining to our guests how to perform Indian dance moves during the Baraat, to getting people seated after intermission, to all his intros at the reception, he was by far an excellent MC. **DJing service - By now, hopefully everyone should know that Umair is a phenomenal DJ. In my case, being a fusion wedding, Umair did an amazing job integrating music from both cultures into our ceremonies. His transitions from the music at the wedding to the music at the reception were seamless, and I had so many compliments at the end of the night. Well...I guess some compliments, and some complaints that their feet hurt, which I also take as a compliment. That means they were dancing all night. **Great support staff - Riamu entertainment is great because of Umair, but it was clear that he is great because of his staff. From the range of services I had, there was about 4-5 other individuals that Umair brought from the Dohl player, to Lighting specialist, to support staff. And they were all on point. Not once did we have any technical or other issue with our DJ services. Two of them event went well above and beyond and helped our photographer with holding some lighting up for our pictures after the ceremony. I could go on and on, but I am sure by now, those reading get why "I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RIAMU ENTERTAINMENT!" read more

Umair worked multiple wedding events(Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception) for our wedding a few weeks ago and did a phenomenal job! He kept the crowd engaged, gauged the type of music the crowd was into and played songs accordingly. We had a Gujarati/Punjabi wedding, so it was important for us to get the best of both cultures in the type of music he played. This was more prominent at the Sangeet/Garba, where he played Garba music, Punjabi music, and Bollywood music of our choosing! Everyone of course enjoyed the Wedding and reception as well! The dhol player and mobile DJ were really great during the Baraat and Umair did a great job yet again engaging the crowd and keeping them dancing - which was incredible! I liked the fact that DJ Umair was very good at responding to emails and having phone calls months and months ahead of our wedding date to make sure everything was on track and ready to go come wedding week. Especially for a bride like myself where I like to have things ready well ahead of time, organized, and on the same page. We can't thank Riamu Entertainment enough for such a successful wedding weekend. It was so awesome to hear from our family and friends how much fun they had and much dancing they did at all our events. Thanks again!! read more

Umair was our DJ and MC for our mehndi and wedding. We didn't know what to expect, because we were planning a Pakistani-American fusion wedding in Alaska (!!!) so, of course, the crowd was super diverse, and - as any bride and groom will attest - we were worried about getting people to dance at our wedding. Turns out we had no reason at all to be nervous. Umair and Luis were TERRIFIC! They brought the house down BOTH nights! Umair and Luis read the crowd SO well - there was hardly a moment were our guests weren't dancing!! Umair was also an awesome MC. Some DJs can be awkward or annoying, but he did a wonderful job at keeping the crowd both amped and informed. We got so many compliments from our guests. One of my bridesmaid said that she wanted to book Riamu for her wedding. Not only is Umair a lot of fun, but he is a super organized and dependable person. He took the time to call us before the wedding to go over everything, and he stayed in touch with our wedding planner. Hire Riamu Entertainment - you will not be disappointed!!! read more

We couldn't have been happier having Umair as part of our Indian wedding in San Diego in March. He was a total professional, from the several phone conversations we had with him to making sure the event went smoothly. He was a great host and MC and was also awesome as a mobile DJ for my Baraat. Very highly recommended. read more

My husband and I are so glad we chose Riamu Entertainment for our wedding! Umair and Sammy did a great job! We really appreciated their hard work and how personable and fun they were with the guests and getting them pumped up. The lighting, dance floor, and all the Dj services were amazing and added a great touch to our wedding! Umair was very helpful with explaining the different types of lighting and what would look best. We appreciated that he also added on the gold gobo design on the dance floor. That was a very elegant touch that many guests commented on. Sammy also did a great job with the music selection. They played songs we provided on a list as well as many other songs that kept guests dancing throughout the night. We had such a fun time and would recommend Riamu Entertainment to everyone! read more

My story is a little different but much of the same. We've hired Riamu Entertainment for our event/show the past several years. Umair and his team are hands down the greatest people to work with if your planning an event. All of Riamu's DJ's are skilled not only with the flow of music but crowd control - which is the most important feature at any event. If your looking for entertainment for your event or wedding - the guys Riamu should be your top choice. They'll continue to be our pick for future events. read more

I wanted Riamu to be the DJ for our Punjabi-fusion wedding in San Diego in December 2013 because I was confident that he'd be able to keep everyone dancing all night by switching it up between bhangra and American music, and he sure did deliver! My mom said some of her high school friends who swore they would never dance were out there tearing it up and I was shocked to see my dad's siblings (who I have never seen dance before) joyfully shaking it on the dance floor. His experience with Indian-fusion weddings was crucial to it being a success. We also appreciated him suggesting that we have the dhol player come in with us for our grand entrance - so fun! read more

Umair and his team are INCREDIBLE at what they do! We used them for lighting and DJing two events. I'm a wedding planner, so I am very particular about the vendors that I use, and they did not disappoint! They are a finely tuned machine both the day of and with Umair's customer service prior to the wedding. The lighting the day of was absolutely beautiful and Raj as our DJ and emcee knocked it out of the park! Look forward to working with them again! read more

Umair of Riamu was our DJ and MC for our children's engagement on 25 th January and wedding reception on 26 th January at the Hyatt Long Beach . On both occasions Umair rocked the night away .A true Profressional and experienced DJ. Umair went out of his way to accommodate last minute lighting . So many of our guests asked us for his contact info . Umair thank you so much for making our children's engagement and reception unforgettable. Kamal H and Rajan H read more

We hired Riamu for lighting and music for our wedding in Palm Springs. They did an amazing job and many of our guests came up to us to tell us how much they loved the music. They put together multiple sound set ups for our Sangeet (outdoor + indoor parties), multiple set ups for the Bharat (mobile DJ for horse + audio and music for ceremony), and also took care of the reception music and lighting. Everything was on time and very professional. Umair and his team went above and beyond to plan ahead of time and work on the ground to make sure everything looked and sounded amazing. We requested them to do a mix of Bollywood, US Top 40, and EDM and they pulled it off without us having to suggest any specific songs. I would highly recommend for your wedding. read more

Umair DJ'd our Sangeet & Reception this past month and did an amazing job at each event! Our friends & family had nothing but positive feedback for his team. They were extremely flexible to work with & showed up promptly to each event. Highly recommend to future couples! read more

It has been amazing to see the work Riamu Entertainment. It has always been a pleasure see some of the events from start to finish. read more

I hope I have another event in the future so that I can hire Umair and his team at Riamu again. They were not only immensely talented, but also a steadying presence during the craziness of planning a wedding. As if that was not enough, the guests loved them. Flexible, professional, and able to do anything we asked of them--this is all we could ask for. We are very particular people with specific tastes, and they executed our vision as we communicated it. read more

Umair was awesome!!! Hired him for our wedding in November. He was really easy to work with and very detail oriented. He made sure we had all of the necessary equipment at all of the events and that all the music was queued up properly. He was great at getting the crowd hyped for the grand entrances and the music him and the other DJs he works with played was awesome to dance to as well!! read more

Umair was so easy to work with, and I am so glad I ended up choosing them. He amped up with baraat and ceremony music was perfect. Dhol player was awesome. I highly recommend their services. read more

Riamu Entertainment is fabulous!!! We hired them to do lighting and DJ for our 2 day engagement party in San Francisco. Presentation was perfect. The DJ setup was impeccable and looked classy.The lighting was exactly what I had asked for! For lighting at the event- Umair worked with my decorator, and orchestrated exactly what I wanted. Umair and my decorator worked together without bothering me about it. On top of it, he did all this with me over the phone. I didnt have a single meeting with him because I don't live in LA. I didn't even meet him until the day of the event in SF. Yet, when it came down to any questions, contract concerns, or even the playlists for the events, he was on top of it! I gave him this insane program for the event where I listed exact songs I wanted playing at what ceremony point, with the time marks listed on each song and he pulled it off =) Thats pretty hard to do when you don't have a coordinator, but Umair managed it! In the days leading up to the event, I literally would email him 10 times a day, and he put up with it =) He responded to every little concern very promptly! I think that kind of personal attention is so important. After working with as many vendors as I have, I really liked that about Umair. He didn't make me feel like just a business client, rather he made me feel like my event was just as important to him as it was to me. The music aspect of it, let's just say he knows what he's doing! People danced non stop, they didnt want to get off the dancefloor! Umair really knows how to keep the party going. I've been to parties, where people get bored of dancing and the dance floor empties out. Not in Umair's case at all, everyone was dancing the entire night until they were ready to kick us out! He had a good feel for the crowd, and knew what people would respond to well. Last thing I will add about Umair is how personable and easy he is to work with. You would think thats common in this industry but it's not. After having worked with so many vendors, I really appreciated that about Umair. You want to hire a DJ who will take an interest in your event, will ease the process of planning for you, and mesh with your family and friends to make it an enjoyable time for everyone, which is exactly what Umair did! read more

Umair was the DJ for our 200 person wedding, and we were extremely happy with the decision that we made. He was professional and helpful throughout each stage of the wedding planning process. We really only had to meet with him twice prior to the wedding, and after settling on a package and price, Umair pretty much took care of all the remaining details. There was never one point in the process of wedding planning that we were worried about the services Umair would provide for us, and that really is key when you are planning a wedding with multiple events and many different vendors. It was also more convenient that he owned his own lighting company, which allows you to cut down on the number of vendors you need to interact with. We would definitely recommend Umair for anyone who is looking for a DJ and/or MC. Thanks Umair! read more

DJ Raj was our wedding DJ for our baraat, ceremony, and reception. He did an amazing job of getting the party going at the baraat and reception -- we were dancing until the very last minute. Many guests came up to me to compliment the DJ during and after the event. Riamu owner Umair was great to work with leading up to the event and helped guide me through the many decisions that go into planning wedding music. A great experience! read more

My husband and I were planning an American wedding with a Bollywood twist because my husband is Indian. After checking out the website My Husband and I decided to meet up with Umair and I am so glad that we did. He is so nice and easy to get along with which made me feel so at ease with all the stress from planning a wedding. It was one less thing I had to worry about. He made me feel so comfortable. My husband as well. On the day of our wedding he made the day so much more special for us because he made it so much fun and got the crowd pumped! Every one loved his energy and personalilty! He also did all the lighting for our reception and made it look amazing!! When we walked in it was so beautiful! I was so happy with everything!! I definitely recommend Umair! You will not regret it!! read more

We've worked with Umair on two events now- our wedding of almost 300 guests and an intimate birthday party of about 25 people. During both events, he went out of his way to help us during the planning process. He DJ'd our wedding himself, did the lighting, and all the A/V set up for speeches and performances, etc. Everything went smoothly and when there was a glitch, he was quick to fix things on the spot. Umair was essential in helping us create an inviting, fun environment for our guests. The staff DJ Umair sent for our small birthday party, Nick, was also excellent. He played all the songs off our playlist and accommodated our real-time requests as well. Thanks Umair for all your great work! read more

Highly recommend Umair and Riamu Entertainment! Umair was the DJ at our wedding in Monterey. He was so kind and met us at the venue 3 months prior (even though he lives in SD!). It was so easy to work with him. He really listened to our wants and helped us put together a vision we couldn't have dreamt! He went above and beyond with the lighting in the reception, yet kept it within our vision (and budget). He helped with the baraat and made it fun for my husband (who is not Indian) and his family. During the ceremony, he played the music we wanted--which was important to us. I cannot describe the awe my husband and I felt walking into our reception. We were blown away! I can't say enough good things about Umair and his team! You will not be disappointed. read more
