Riamu Entertainment

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.

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.

DJ Riamu is simply awesome!!! If you ever need a DJ for your wedding or party, he’s your guy. He also does lighting and WOW did it make a difference for our event! It didn’t even look like the same venue after him and his team put in their magic touches. Super highly recommend! And thanks Riamu Entertainment for giving us the party of a lifetime!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Go with Umair!
My husband and I wanted to have a Bollywood wedding and were referred to Umair as the best man for the job. After a bit of research, I was concerned that he wouldn’t be willing to contract for a wedding as small and last-​minute as ours. But, as soon as I called him, he was incredibly friendly and professional, and my worries were completely gone. Umair went right to work helping me put together playlists that would get the crowd going. He was even able to provide me with extensive lists of the most popular South Asian songs to play at certain points during the wedding, which was a big help.
Umair showed up on time, smartly dressed, and ready to party.
Needless to say, he did an incredible job and really got the party going. HIS MUSIC KICKED ASS! Even got my 74-​year old grandmother dancing her butt off all night. Unlike my sister’s wedding DJ, who pronounced her name wrong and completely disregarded her playlist, Umair followed my specifications and really made the evening special and tailor-​made to us.
Would give him 10 stars if possible! Thanks Umair!

So we started our interview process for our wedding DJ 8 months before our event. needless to say, Umair was the clear winner. Between checking with references, sitting down him to give a vision of what we were looking for, providing him our must play songs for the event, and even having coach us on what does/​doesnt work well based on past experience, our experience was flawless. He even went the extra mile the day of to make sure both my wife and I, as well as our family and bridal party were comfortable and composed. Definitely cant go wrong with DJ Riamu.

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!
