What makes an event memorable and successful? Great music, an air filled with energy, everybody getting a feeling of inclusion, and so on! An energetic and charismatic DJ is a must have to make all this come together. That is who Yogi is! While searching for a great DJ for our daughter’s wedding event, we had the opportunity to meet and interact with Yogi from the Boston Sound and Light company. We were impressed with the passion, energy and resourcefulness he brings to the table. With his significant experience in this business, he has a very good insight on what works or does not work in different situations. We found him to be a good listener, who built upon our initial ideas and made excellent suggestions which were a hit with our guests. We had a Baarat with traditional Lezim dances. Yogi assured us that with him running the show, it can easily go for an hour. And boy, was he right! The guests loved it and had a great time dancing through the entire Baarat. For our Sangeet and Reception events, we had a diverse group with different ethnicities and age groups. Yogi caught the pulse of the audience and rocked the event. The guests were raving about how great our DJ was. Their overwhelming feedback was that they “danced their hearts out”! Thank you Yogi and your team for making our daughters wedding memorable and very special.

Writing this review after my wedding, I feel so incredibly validated picking BSL and Yogi. I think I knew after my first date with my now-wife that she was the one; I'd say much the same about BSL and Yogi after our first call! As Yogi put it: "you're family now bro." It feels like 5 stars is the default rating these days. Review inflation is tough! So, let me highlight what specifically made BSL and Yogi so perfect for us: 1. Yogi listened (actively). God, what a relief. We spoke to multiple DJs before ultimately picking BSL. Other DJs we spoke with were trying to fit us into their script, making assumptions rather than asking questions and listening to what we wanted. We'll play XYZ music for the entrance of the groomsmen and bridesmaids (we had none), the priest will marry you (our ceremony was decidedly and purposefully non-religious), we'll announce you as Mr. and Mrs. Graham (while I have but a lowly bachelor's degree, my wife has a PhD; she's Dr.! Not that she particularly cares, but I do as her admiring husband. Also, she didn't take my last name.), etc. Yogi, on the other hand, led with questions: (1) where is the venue?; (2) what are your plans for the ceremony / how do you want the ceremony to go?; (3) who are the wedding VIPs (family, friends, etc.)?; (4) what type of music do you like?; etc. He offered a bespoke service; the competition felt off-the-shelf. It was great to be heard and seen given the non-traditional nature of our wedding. 2. Yogi's pricing was simple, transparent, upfront, and fixed. No drip pricing, no upselling, nothing. One price and you get the works. 3. Yogi went above-and-beyond. My wife and I would have been happy with a pretty minimal DJ package. In fact, that's what we thought we were getting! Yogi had other ideas. He saved us day-of by providing a camera tripod at no charge for a last minute impromptu videography request from guests who couldn't make the wedding, brought extra lighting (true to BSL's name) to jazz up the reception and dance floor area (also at no charge), and, not only offered DJ services through his partner Dee (Dipesh), but also MC'ed! Which he did with aplomb, btw, making throwback references to personal details we had mentioned on calls with him (e.g., my upbringing in the 'burbs) and improvising on the mic to keep people super engaged through the dinner and dancing. We had a blast and so did our guests. Compliments abounded. 4. Yogi was detail-oriented. We had a few last minute, albeit minor, changes to the ceremony flow. E.g., changing the entrance song for our officiants. Yogi gave us no trouble with these last minute changes and, day of, confirmed the details to make sure he was working with the most up-to-date information. He and DJ Dee nailed every part of our ceremony. 5. DJ Dee's DJing fantastically blended Bollywood and bhangra music (my wife is Indian) with crowd-pleasing Top 40 pop for my very white side of the family (Bruno Mars, etc.). And Bad Bunny for, well, everyone. People danced until the end. Literally until the venue was closing and told us we had to make our exit. Also, two people were dancing so much and so hard that they ripped their pants (not me, fortunately!). How many weddings can say that?! 6. Yogi made everything easy. I like to say that we put in 2 out of 10 effort, not really being wedding people, yet got a 10/10 wedding. Thank you Yogi and BSL for being the awesome and incredibly thoughtful people you are!

We used Boston Sound and Light for our wedding, and they truly delivered an unforgettable experience! From the first consultation with Yogi to the last beat on the dance floor, their professionalism, creativity, and expertise shone through. Yogi and Dee were absolutely phenomenal, blending traditional Indian melodies with modern hits seamlessly. Whether it was Bollywood classics, bhangra, or Top 40 tracks, the transitions were smooth, and the energy on the dance floor never dipped. They knew exactly how to read the crowd and kept every guest engaged, from the younger generation to the older relatives who love timeless melodies.They were incredibly accommodating, even with last-minute requests, and their passion for their craft was evident in every aspect of their work. BSL worked seamlessly with our decor and venue vendors and transformed the venue into a dazzling spectacle with mood lighting, spotlights, and synchronized effects. From our entrances as bride and groom at the wedding ceremony to our first dance, the key moments of the evening were accentuated beautifully with their creative lighting designs. If you're planning an Indian wedding in Boston area and are looking to take your celebration to the next level, BSL is the one to call. Highly, highly recommend!

Yogi and his team are pros when it comes to entertaining a crowd and making a wedding day incredibly fun. From when we first started the process to day of Yogi made everything easy with the focus on us. He was thoughtful about how to help us enjoy our day. From the music played at the wedding ceremony to incredible reception that even our photography team who has done thousands of weddings said was so lit. Highly recommend working with them if you are able to get them!

Our event would not have been successful without DJ Yogi. He was helpful at every step of the process and even talked us downwards on equipment, which helped keep the overall cost down. As an emcee he is extremely clear and confident on the microphone, and as a DJ he was able to keep the energy on the dance-floor alive. This team is incredible, we received so many compliments regarding this team, they really know how to hype up a crowd! The dance floor was literally shaking! Love this team! Highly recommend if you want your party to leave an impression! If you are considering DJ Yogi, I high recommend him as he will help take your event from good to great!
