You will not regret hiring this team. Hands down the best vendor we chose. They will pay so much attention to detail, cater to your every need, and make sure all your guests are having the best time ever. Multiple friends and family raved about the music the next day. Hire this crew!!!
There’s one thing everyone remembers for every wedding and that’s your DJ. My husband and I made a list of top 3 most important things to have, and a great DJ was at the top. Looking back at our wedding we could not imagine having a DJ other than Ruki. My husband comes from an American family & I come from a Assyrian/Mexican family. We wanted a DJ who could transition between 3 vastly different cultures and styles of music seamlessly and keep the dance floor packed all night. Ruki flawlessly delivered on his promises to us from that initial phone call. There are not many DJs out there that can transition from Assyrian line dancing music to country to salsa without the crowd noticing but Ruki’s skills as a DJ are next to none. The portal he offers for song selections is so user friendly and gave us a variety for everyone of our guests. For traditional Assyrian songs Ruki went above and beyond making sure to download the music and have it ready to go for our big day. Our wedding entrance was done in a traditional Assyrian tradition, Ruki made sure all the guests were excited to take part in this and really got the crowd ready for our grand entrance. We could go on and write a novel of how amazing Ruki made our day but I’m sure we would run into a character-limiting factor. All of our guests are still talking about how amazing Ruki was and we were married in May. So if you are looking for a DJ that your guests won’t forget book Ruki you won’t regret it! THANK YOU RUKI!!!
Ruki and his team at Dream House Productions are thoughtful, attentive, and go above and beyond expectations. We did not have a wedding planner/coordinator at the reception and Ruki was the perfect master of ceremonies - he kept things rolling, while ensuring we took advantage of every special moment. Not to mention the music was on point! 10/10 would recommend. Thank you, Ruki and team!
Dream house productions was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better Dj and sound production then Ruki and his team. During the crazy year of planning and rescheduling they were able to stay flexible and accommodating to all our needs. Not only did they provide the perfect music for the reception they also perfected the sound for our ceremony and announced all the speeches and dances. Ruki was an out most professional and was accommodating to all our needs! They will be my go-to to any of my future event planning needs!
Ruki and his team at Dream House Productions made our wedding the best dance party we could have ever imagined. His ability to not only read the crowd but to guide the flow of the entire reception was of the highest caliber. The key to a great party is great entertainment and that is exactly what Dream House Productions gave us. From beginning to end, the dance floor was packed and at the end of the night everyone was talking about how great my DJ was! Ruki really takes the time to do the work, gets to know you as a couple, really listens to what you are looking for in your party, and then makes it happen. We couldnt recommend Dream House Productions more for your DJ services. 10 out of 5 stars!!!
Dj RukiDreamhouse production Ends up being a NightmareAlso, Terrible job at Mishali Patel Devish Patel wedding. He knew it was bad garba night when i called him out. Said itll be better tomorrow. My other crew has my other speakers at another event.Next day was same thing. Sound quality terrible. Muffled. Speakers and speaker setup was terrible. Most people left the reception hall for the lobby area since they couldnt hear skits, speeches, & even dances. With dances it felt as though the speakers were facing the opposite direction of the audience.Mixing was terrible hard transitions and mixing different genres when they dont fit. Lacks the ability to feel the crowd. Everyone complained.
We used Dj Ruki for our Indian wedding, biggest mistake we could have done.On of the reason we chose Ruki was the price.But you get what you pay for.He didn’t know what to play even after we gave him a play list.And now one of our friends hired him for their wedding. Ankit’s wedding was canceled due to covid19. Ankit paid Ruki in full. Ruki is refusing to return any money.Please stay away from this dj and save your self the headache.
10 out of 5 stars! In all seriousness, Ruki and his Dream House Family do it right. My wife and I had the pleasure to host a beautiful wedding in Chicago at The Intercontinental Michigan Avenue back in October 2019. If you are on the fence or need guidance with whether DJ or Band.... Ruki would be more than happy to connect and walk you through the options. Affordable and straight class from the first meeting to night of! Still a good friend to this day, and someone I continue to refer to my friends and co-workers. Most of the time it is people who were at the wedding, still reaching out to me, asking about our DJ. Really appreciative and very glad we made this choice. Really not often you gain a friend through your wedding DJ!! Thank you Ruki for all you do.
DJ Ruki is very professional and has a ton of experience. The Dream House Production portal is very easy to use and thorough. Vaughn (DJ Kinetic) was the DJ for our reception, which was an Indian fusion wedding. He was excellent! He kept the dance floor going all night long and did a great job mixing Western and Indian songs. The sound quality was great. He was very flexible with a couple last minute adjustments/clarifications on the day of the wedding.We would highly recommend Dream House Production to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!
Ruki was the DJ at our wedding in October and he was awesome! Leading up to the day he was super helpful and patient (I was a bit of a disorganized bride) and really put our minds at ease. The day of he was even better. He was more than just a DJ, he kept the flow of the reception moving along at a great pace. Once the dance floor was open, it was never empty. He did an awesome job of reading the crowd and keeping the dance floor packed all night. We would highly recommend!
DJ Ruki won not only my, but my husbands heart over when we heard Dream House Productions at another wedding. There was no question that we had to have him at ours. He has the ability to keep the dance floor full from start to finish, playing oldies (remixed) and newbies, keeping everyone happy. Ive had so many compliments about how great the music was and from the looks on the dance floor, I knew people werent lying. He also helped us with the music at the ceremony and was able to play the songs I wanted that were not on his list. He made our wedding the best day of our lives, highly recommend him!!
I cannot recommend Ruki enough! He exceeded every expectation for our wedding and had the dance floor packed all night. So many of our guests commented on how great the DJ was. He really made the night!
We hired Dream House Production for our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Ruki was able to help us throughout the entire planning process to make sure the music throughout the event was what we wanted. Our crowd was Venezuelan and African American, and he was able to play songs that resonated with both families. He was also able to customize some of our requests that were not within his music portal with no hesitation. I would recommend Dream house Production for any event!Thanks you so much!
Ruki traveled to Charleston, South Carolina to play for our destination wedding. He made the entire process so easy for us. He also played music that kept people of all ages dancing throughout the night! He did not play the old boring music you oftentimes hear at weddings yet it was by no means over the top. It was the perfect variety that kept people want to dance. So many of our guests comment on how great the music was that night -- all of our friends and even my dad (who kept commenting that there needs to be music forthe older crowd) was impressed
Ruki at Dream House Production was amazing. Extremely professional, organized, accommodating, and friendly. He was willing and able to complete any request we had, and he played the perfect music throughout the whole day. We gave him very few requests as far as the music for the reception, and just asked him to keep the party going and the dance floor full. He exceeded any expectations that I had, and the wedding was a blast! The website he uses to compile all of the information is very easy to use and kept me feeling like we were always on the same page. I was never stressed or worried about the music, and it was great to have one less thing to worry about. Hire him now!!
DJ Ruki and his team at Dream House Productions are literally a dream to work with! Music is such an important aspect to any event and to have the piece of mind that this is covered and will go off without a hitch is ideal for any event planner. From corporate to social to entertainment driven events theyre truly your one-stop-shop for all your event music needs. Ive been producing events across the country for close to 20 years (I started young :)) and I cant give them a high enough recommendation. Cheers!
Ruki absolutely crushed it for our New Years wedding. He played a great mix of oldies and new stuff, made certain songs his own with great mixes, and kept people moving all night. He was having a blast and that helped everyone else to, as well.Had multiple people ask me who our DJ was, and had a legitimate DJ encore at the end of the night. Who has ever heard of that??Super easy to work with, plan with, and extremely happy with how it all turned out.
Ruki and his team are amazing. We cannot recommend them enough. Dream House has a portal which was really helpful to us. Besides the reception, we hadnt thought about all the times where music would be needed. Luckily, the portal accounts for every detail! Dream House exceeded our expectations and had our dance floor packed until 1AM! Thank you to Ruki and Dream House Productions!
Vaughn DJed our wedding in 2014 and our guests are STILL talking about how good he was! We didnt want the typical wedding DJ, which is why we hired Dream House, and they did not disappoint. Vaughn kept our guests (from my 95 year old aunt to my 21 year old cousin) on the dance floor all night with an awesome mix of music!!! Not only that, but the team at Dream House were professional, prompt and did everything they could to make our day perfect.We had such a great experience, we hired them to DJ our housewarming party. Again, they were a hit and had us dancing all night!!!
Dj Ruki was the DJ at our wedding. Excellent DJ. Everyone loved the music. Thanks Ruki.
Ruki as very easy to work with and did a great job reading the crowd and getting everyone to stay on the dance floor at our wedding. He was great about meeting with us beforehand to go over our music choices and timeline of events. He was definitely key in making sure the flow of the evening went smoothly.
Ruki is great! He DJd all 3 of our wedding events flawlessly. He is organized, friendly and can read the crowd really well. He kept our friends and family dancing both nights! Our friends and family of all ages loved him, and we all had a blast! He is also great with requests and was very open to them from our guests. Would highly recommend him for your event!
Ruki was awesome as our wedding DJ. He was prepared and very professional. He had the dance floor going the entire night and knew how to read the room! Everyone raved about him. Highly recommend.
The only DJ and wedding production you will ever need! The three main elements of a wedding are food, booze, and MUSIC. We could not have picked a better DJ than Ruki. He was easy to work with and always available for any of our questions. From planning to execution his services were detailed and organized. Our ceremony, cocktail, and reception were all in one place, Ruki customized our event based on our needs and gave us suggestions and ideas of what we could do. A few days before the wedding day we had a conference call with him to go through the event details, reception program, wedding party introductions, and all the songs for the first dance. We also requested dance in the cloud, based on another wedding he hosted.. It was the best extra idea we made. It added more romance to a room already filled with love. He wasnt just our vendor but he is also a friend of ours. We know he will not disappoint us but what we did not know is that he EXCEEDED our expectations. He did not just play a whole song but he mixed it up based on everyones mood, age, and music genre.. the dance floor was never empty. Our wedding guests loved him at the reception and still talks about how amazing our DJ was and that the music was LIT!
Ruki was the perfect DJ for our wedding over Memorial Day weekend. He was recommended by a friend, and even though our wedding was in the eastern shore of MD - we decided to fly him out for one night to spin at our wedding. And that was easily the best decision we made!People were raving about the range of music he played, his mixing between songs, his ability to play for the crowd and read their energy. Our dancefloor was packed the ENTIRE time - 2.5 hours of nonstop dancing. He was easy to work with and played the right range of music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We would have no problem recommending him again to anyone!
Honestly we couldnt have asked for more from Ruki who played our NYE wedding in December. He was a breeze to work with, interfaced with our planner & event venue on his own and brought in all necessary equipment without us having to think about it. He rolled with last minute changes and was just generally go with the flow, which was great. But MOST importantly, he kept everyone on the dance floor ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Our wedding planner said hed never seen people hit the dance floor (& stay on the dance floor) that fast after dinner! Thank you, Ruki for making our wedding an absolutely epic weekend. Highly recommend!
Ruki is the best DJ in Chicago!! He made our wedding so much fun and kept the dance floor full the entire time. He played a great mix of music that appealed to all age groups. Were still getting comments on how great the music was - people who never dance said they danced all night long!Ruki was also extremely easy to work with and made the planning process as simple as possible.A complete Professional! Highly Recommend!
Talk about a phenomenal performance! Ruki pulled out all the stops for our wedding which includes standing outside in the cold weather for 40 minutes waiting us to arrive for the welcome party. His sounds system was literally vibrating the floors! His song selections and scratching is unmatched for the crowd that was in hand. All the guests were dancing there shoes off. Ruki was professional, respectful, and very accommodating throughout our wedding! For your Chicagoland DJ needs, Ruki is your man!
When my wife and I got married we wanted to have both modern American music mixed with her families Iranian music. Ruki, not knowing any of her Iranian music, still managed to create elaborate and smooth transition between the American music and the Iranian music. It felt as if he knew exactly what we wanted. We were very happy with him. He was very kind, understanding, calm and capable. I have and will continue to recommend him to everyone I know who needs a DJ for any event!Thank you, Ruki for everything!
We used Dream House Productions for our wedding in Fontana, WI at The Abbey. They were flexible, took our vision & made it a reality. Music was an important part of our wedding & our guests were thrilled with the flow throughout the night! Very professional & fun people to work with.
My husband has known Ruki for a long time and knew that he was the DJ for our wedding based on the type of music we both like and his knack for filling up the dance floor by playing awesome hits from the 80s, 90s and 00s! He did an awesome job at our wedding and tried hard to keep us on track despite our best efforts to derail him. The dance floor was jammed and many of our guests commented that the music was awesome! He took charge when he needed to, was attentive and made sure that our needs and wants were met. Thanks Ruki for a job well done!
Simply perfect.We were married about a year ago. After a year of planning, so many concerns creep into your mind. Will the weather turn out? Will the best mans speech be PG? Perhaps most importantly, will the guests have fun?Ruki made sure that final concern was taken care of. He was a terrific M.C., played a perfect mix of music that kept people dancing all night, and adapted to our every request.If youre looking for a professional, organized, fun DJ, book with Ruki and Dream House Production. You wont regret it.
Ruki is the man! He is extremely professional, easy to work with, and genuinely a nice guy to talk to. His music was spot-on the entire night, and we had people dancing all night long and commenting on how much fun they were having. The part I liked most, was his ability to run the show and keep everything on schedule so we didnt have to worry about a thing. We have already shared DJ Rukis information with everyone we know getting married. Stop searching and book him now!
Honestly the best DJ we’ve heard at a wedding. He DJ’d a family members wedding and we knew we had to have him at ours! Since then, we’ve been to 3 other weddings that’s he’s been at and he never disappoints. Everything from being the Emcee to creating killer mixes. He listens to what songs you want played, but unlike most DJs, he knows when to change it to the next and rarely plays the whole thing unless everyone is feeling it. He reads the floor and if a song isn’t doing the job, he moves onto the next with great transitions. It’s always a party when hes at a wedding! We highly recommend him!
Ruki is the best DJ in Chicago!! He made our wedding so much fun and kept the dance floor full the entire time. He played a great mix of music that appealed to all age groups. Were still getting comments on how great the music was - people who never dance said they danced all night long!Ruki was also extremely easy to work with and made the planning process as simple as possible. We couldn’t recommend him more!
Dream House and Ruki Dole were the first thing we booked for our wedding and we couldnt be happier with how everything turned out. Ruki knows the ins and outs of how to put on a successful event and was great with rolling with changes as they popped up. He can read a room and does a great job of mixing songs together to keep the energy up the entire night. Couldnt have done it without his help. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an event DJ.
Highly recommended! Great experience working with Ruki at our wedding, professional, courteous and fun. Had the entire party dancing until the lights came on.
Ruki and his entire team at Dream House Productions completely went above and beyond everything we wanted for our wedding. From the beginning to the end everything was executed perfectly and professionally. Ruki met with us in our home and got a feel for what music we wanted which he picked up pretty much immediately. We let him know that we had a lot of Irish family coming in and any of that fun music is welcome. He HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. Honestly some of the songs I didnt even know, but they had everyone on the dance floor so thats all I cared about.You will NOT be disappointed in this company. They are extremely professional and very helpful in the wedding planning process. I never had to worry about this vendor. We had multiple people ask us who we used because he was so awesome. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Ruki and his team at Dream House productions went above and beyond our exceptions! We got married this past weekend and we honestly could not have done it without them. All of our guests have been raving about what a good time they had and that the DJ was amazing! Ruki knows how to keep the crowd involved and entertained. There was not a second where the dance floor was not packed with guests! Even the owner of our venue said she had never seen such a packed dance floor! Not only do they know how to keep the party going, Ruki was a huge helping in planning and the organization of the event. I would highly recommend Dream House Production for any wedding, corporate event, or any larger event for that matter!
Best DJ ever! Ruki was our dj for our July wedding. The dance floor was packed all night! He truly brought the party to the dance floor. Ruki was so friendly, professional, and organized. He worked seamlessly with the on site coordinator to make sure everything went off without a hitch! You will not be disappointed! We are so glad we chose Dream House Productions!
DJ Ruki absolutely crushed it! The dance floor was packed the entire night for our wedding and everybody kept commenting about how much fun the music and dancing was. He was able to get through all of our must plays as well as adding in a good mix of crowd pleasers and some Latin music for our out of town guests. Ruki was super easy to work with all along the way and did a great job at making us feel comfortable on the wedding day. Thank you so much for being so awesome!
Ruki and his team went above and beyond to assist with our wedding. On the event days, he made sure things ran smoothly, even things that were out of the scope of a DJs normal tasks. He even MCd our event and did a fantastic job which saved us additional $ from not having to hire an MC or having to ask a friend/relative to do so. He was very easy to work with and he catered to any changes or requests we had, no matter how last minute. I would definitely recommend Dream House Productions for any of your future wedding needs.
We hired Ruki for our wedding in September and he was so great to work with! He made everything so easy and smooth. We also loved how he was able to target a wide variety of guests. He kept our dance floor packed the entire time. It was safe to say that everyone had a good time since we heard so many wonderful complements. We even had two couples ask for his info afterwards and one booked him the very next weekend for their wedding. My husband and I are now excited we get to be on another Ruki dance floor!
All I can say is book with Dreamhouse productions! It was worth every penny! Ruki did an amazing job! Our wedding was an absolute blast!!! This will be the best decision you make for your wedding!!
DJ Ruki did a great job DJing our wedding! We had an Indian wedding and he was able to easily play both Indian and american music to keep everyone on the dance floor. He was very easy to work with and accommodating of any specific requests that we had throughout the process. Many of our guests (who love dance music) said they loved the mixing and were dancing the whole night.
Even before contracting Dream House Productions for our wedding, Ruki was very flexible, available, and eager to answer our many questions. We chose Ruki not only for the companies music style and technical knowledge but because of the professionalism him and his team displayed. Ruki continued to demonstrate his flexability as we were making changes up to and during our events. Because of his dedication to his product as well as our satisfaction, all our events went off without a hitch. We were lucky enough to have Ruki DJ our Garba/Sangeet and Vaughn Goy DJ our wedding ceremony and reception. At all our events, the dance floor was packed until we were told we needed to leave. We would not recommend any one else as highly as we recommend Dream House Productions.
As a wedding photographer, I work with a lot of DJs in Chicago, and my experience with them varies from excellent to not so good. I met Ruki Dole, the owner of Dream House Productions, few years ago and I was seriously impressed. Since the initial encounter I noticed how professional and communicative he was, he reached out to me multiple times during the night to let me know what was happening next. The dance floor was packed all night with kids, adults and grandparents, there was something for everyone.Since then, I have worked with other Djs from Dream House Production and theyve all executed their roles and responsibilities to perfection.They are also very involved with the wedding planning process and they make themselves available as another resource for answering questions. Dream House Productions is amazing and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone who is getting married!
Would highly recommend Ruki for an Indian wedding (or any event) & would hire him again in a heartbeat!We hired DJ Ruki for our Indian wedding at the Drake for three different events: baraat, ceremony, and reception. In the planning stages, he was always timely and responsive to emails and was very organized. He even opted to meet with us twice in person before the wedding to ensure that he understand our complicated requests for the ceremony.During the baraat, his generator unfortunately malfunctioned but he was able to try and salvage using the car system. Eventually we were unable to get the system to work, so Ruki comped us for the baraat - without us even bringing it up! For our ceremony, we had very detailed/mixed-custom music playing representing both Gujurati and Tamil customs. Ruki somehow made both our sets of parents incredibly happy, and it was seamless!For the reception, everything was FIRE. Ruki nailed all the programmed part (e.g., microphones for speeches, the correct songs for dances). More than that – he kept EVERYONE on the dance floor for a full 4.5 hours. People could not be pulled away! He played an amazing mix of Tamil, Hindi, and American hits, and people kept telling us later how hype the DJ was.
I would highly recommend Ruki and Dream House Production for any party, especially a wedding! He just DJed for our wedding on 9-16-16. He played awesome music and really kept the party going! Everything went so smooth, I couldnt have asked for anything else! We had a Friday wedding and we had extended our wedding till 1am, and we were very nervous that people would leave early due to it being a Friday and people working. But we were very wrong, and I think that was due to Rukis awesome DJ skills! The dance floor was still going strong at 1am! He has great communication with you! We also had a slide show that he helped make amazing! Everyone should book Dream House Production!
First and foremost, I have to say there is no better DJ out there. Ruki far surpassed our expectations! The dance floor was packed from the time he started, until the time the last song ended. He knew the crowd by a glance, and was able to provide entertainment for all age groups. The music was centered around the people, and for that we could not have asked for more. His energy was palpable! He didnt just introduce the wedding party and the new Mr. and Mrs., he got the crowd going! He amped everybody up, got the the guests excited and made the wedding party feel as if they were what everybody came to see. As the bride, he made me feel like a superstar, and I can speak for my husband that Ruki made him feel the same way. We literally could not have asked for more or better. At the end of the night, the compliments we received on the music and the DJ came from everyone! I was told on numerous occasions, this is the best wedding, and the most fun Ive ever had. Needless to say, that made my heart swell, but more importantly the compliments need to be heard by Ruki himself. So, with that said, Ruki thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making an already special day into the most perfect day. If we could go back in time and do it over again, I would plan another wedding to have you DJ for double the amount of time. You were amazing, and not only will we never forget the memories you played such a big part in, but our guests will never forget as well. You will always have a special place in our hearts!
One of our main goals for our wedding was to create and experience for our guest that they will never forget, and most importantly to have a dance party! Ruki really helped make this happen for us and some. Not only did he bring down the house, but many of our guests commented on how original his selections were and not your typical line-up at wedding. Not only did he make the Chicago House kids happy, but he also had options for our Israeli guests who came from so far. We would highly recommend Ruki for all occasions. Thanks for the awesome night Ruki!
My husband and I went to a wedding two years ago where Ruki DJed. We werent even engaged yet, but knew that when we got married we had to have him. As soon as we had a date nailed down, I reached out to Ruki to book him. Best decision that we could have made. He had the dance floor packed all night long. We got so many compliments on his ability to mix songs together and keep everyone entertained. If you arent convinced, check him out at the Kerryman in Chicago. You will not regret it!
Ruki DJd our wedding last night at Osteria Via Stato and he was AMAZING. From start to finish our experience with Ruki was wonderful. He is professional and was responsive to all of our inquiries. When the wedding day arrived Ruki went above and beyond to coordinate with our minister, my photographer and the event staff to ensure that everything went smoothly. He played all of our ceremony music perfectly and the cocktail hour and dinner music was great too! When it came time for our reception, Ruki had everyone dancing THE ENTIRE TIME. Ive never been to a wedding where that has happened as there are usually lulls in the music and people drift off the dance floor. Not with Ruki - it was literally one of the best dance parties Ive ever been to!!!! Our guests had the time of their lives and so did we, which is what everyone wants for their wedding. Do yourself and your guests a favor and hire Ruki - it will be one of the best decisions you can make for your big day. It definitely was for us. We love you Ruki!!!!
We booked Ruki for our wedding and could not have made a better decision! He made the whole process from the time we booked to our wedding day so easy. Hes so nice and very easy to work with. My husband and I can be indecisive so when we didnt know what to do or didnt have an answer Ruki would without hesitation give us great suggestions.The actual wedding day was great. Ruki was awesome. He was great with the guests and keeping everything on schedule. Afterwards, we got many compliments on the DJ and the music. Definitely book with Dream House Production!
DJ Ruki Dole was an amazing DJ from our first point of contact to the end of my wedding. He was kind, professional and organized. My wedding was a Christian/Jain fusion wedding and I was nervous about blending the two but he was well versed to both backgrounds and collaborated with my other vendors for a seamless transition from baraat-ceremony-cocktail hour-reception. Ruki granted all of my music requests and had all of my guests dancing all night. Thank you for making my wedding so amazing Ruki!
We booked with this company (Ruki) for our wedding and we couldnt have been happier. He pays attention to the crowd and plays to songs that keep the party moving and people dancing. Ruki will give you a tool to use to put down all of the songs that you want to hear at your wedding. My list was 6+ hours long. If he had played even a quarter of the songs on that list it would have sucked. What I like is not the same as what my Great Aunt Peggy likes. But Ruki took one look at good ol Aunt Peg and played the song to have her ditch the walker and grind it out on the dance floor. Dont over pay someone to play your spotify list instead hire Ruki to do what a DJ is meant to do and get the party going. Ruki was worth every penny. If you dont believe me check out the Kerryman where you can see the genius go to work.
We hired Ruki for our Wedding on 6.1.19. From start to finish, it was a pleasure working with Ruki. Not only was he professional and experienced, he made our wedding night one of the greatest parties ever! The dance floor was packed with people of all ages from the second our dances were over until the very end of the night. My husband, who is a musician, admired that Ruki was able seamlessly transition from genre to genre and make sure that all songs were still at a dancing BPM. If youre going to spend so much time and money planning a wedding, you want people to enjoy it! You NEED Ruki!
Ruki is worth more than what we paid for him to be our DJ for our wedding. He is extremely professional, courteous, versatile, organized, and did a phenomenal job from start to finish. He asked my wife and I to provide him a monogram of our choice for his light display, we forgot to do so with everything going on and all of the planning, so Ruki created a custom monogram for us the night before. Ruki kept the dance floor full, listened to any requests we had, and was overall a fantastic MC. Ruki had a number of suggestions for us throughout the planning process when asked, which was extremely helpful looking back.All in all, the night could not have gone any better. It is quite apparent this guy is a master at his craft, I am quite confident guests of ours will be reaching out to him for their future events. My wife and I will be doing the same!- Shawn and Heather Jones
When my husband and I began looking for a wedding DJ we were overwhelmed. We had a mixed culture wedding (Indian & Catholic ceremonies) and were having a hard time finding someone that could DJ for the Sangeet, Baarat, Indian Ceremony, and Reception, while also having a mix of both Indian/current hits/classic wedding songs mixed in. When we met Ruki he knew exactly what we were going through and looking for. He walked us through all of the steps and absolutely crushed every event. He had everyone dancing the entire weekend (Even my husband and he hates dancing)! The mix of music styles/cultures was perfectly done. Ruki also helped explain everything related to the events in the planning phase which was great because I would have definitely not have known what to do/pick for several of the Indian events.In addition to the above, he was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process and even helped with a few things that I consider going above and beyond his normal duties. He met us on his own time before the wedding to ensure all the details were correct and that we had the proper songs picked out. Picking Ruki is like getting a free wedding event consultant along with the DJ.As noted above, we had Ruki for 2 days and 4 separate events, which all went very smooth! Ruki is a definite must-have for wedding receptions, especially if you are planning a mixed culture or Indian wedding.
Ruki is by far the best at his craft! He was the DJ at our wedding and our guests didnt step off the dance floor! From start to finish Ruki was a complete class act. I watched him DJ at the Kerry man bar and he had that whole place bouncing! Me and my friends still talk about how much fun we had that night. As for the wedding, of course he delivered. Ruki not only did the music but also all of our uplighting. Our event space looked beautiful. People still comment to me about it. I have so many friends that wanted his number for when they get married because they had so much fun. Ruki just has a way of knowing exactly what type of music to play and when to play it. If you are considering a DJ for your wedding, choose DJ Ruki Dole. I promise you will not be disappointed, and your guests and you will have the time of your life! Thank You Ruki for throwing a sick party, and helping me have the wedding of my dreams. Much love!Meeghan
We absolutely loved working with Ruki and the Dream House Production team!We hired them to DJ 2 days of events for our fusion, multi-cultural Indian and Chinese wedding (Indian ceremony and dancing, Chinese reception) with Western elements, and they executed awesomely!In addition to being very personable, kind, and energetic, here are a few highlights that set them above and beyond:– Attentiveness: Ruki took the time to speak with us multiple times, including talking for an hour(!) a few days before our wedding, to make sure all the song choices were to our liking. I felt he really listened to our needs and the music we wanted for each event, as well as gave constructive crowd-appropriate song suggestions.– Efficiency/quickness: Admittedly, we were slackers and didn’t fill out the song portal till the last minute. However, Ruki and his team were amazing and were able to turn out the playlists for 2 very different events (a dance reception and a sit-down banquet dinner) super quickly!– Cultural competence: For our dance reception, Ruki was very mindful about song choices that would also cater to the older, Indian crowd including bhangra. We really appreciated his insight to help keep all the guests dancing!– Ability to work well on the fly: In addition to our putting the playlist together last minute, my mom did not have the Chinese Tea Ceremony planned till last minute (not recommended, haha). Ruki was so accommodating and was able to read all the names of our relatives (complicated Chinese and Indian names may I add) with very short notice and talk through the whole tea ceremony, which turned out better than we imagined.– Easy to use portal: The DHP portal to create our playlist was very easy to use, and even gave us some really helpful song suggestions via awesome lists of music for various genres.Also, shout out to Vaughn Goy! When Ruki had a family emergency on the first night, Vaughn seamlessly stepped in and was able to hold down the fort. A huge testimony to his talent and ability to read the crowd is that the DANCE FLOOR WAS FULL THE ENTIRE NIGHT from the time it opened!! It started to rain (cue the Alanis Morissette) part way through the dance reception and the power went out, but he was able to handle that “mini-crisis” calmly and efficiently so that the party could continue on. And thank you for the suggestion for the last song (good choice on the Third Eye Blind), and for playing an encore song! We and the guests made a big dance circle and sang our hearts out to Bohemian Rhapsody. It was one of my favorite memories of our dance reception!Overall, we may have not been the easiest clients to work with due to all our time delays, but Ruki and his team handled it all so patiently and professionally. More than 1+ month after, we are still getting compliments on how great the DJ/music was, and how much fun everyone had. Thank you, Ruki, Vaughn, and Dream House Productions! I could not imagine entrusting anyone else with the music on our big day. Highly recommended!!
We had Ruki DJ our wedding in July 2016. I couldnt be happier with the way it turned out! I was a little worried because we had only interviewed Ruki that maybe we settled, but from the first conversation I could tell he knew what he was doing and that he would do a wonderful job to cater to the crowd. We had quite the group of people there ranging with music from country, classics, and current and Ruki hit every genre!Typically at a wedding the DJ announces that the dance floor is open and it takes a few brave souls to start the party. At our wedding Ruki announced the floor was open and had the dance floor packed from start to finish. If having a crowded dance floor is important to you then Ruki is the way to go. He was able to change songs seamlessly if they needed to be and let the ones that people were loving play through. At the end of the night Ruki played Piano Man, not on our play list but the highlight of my night!THANK YOU! Working with Ruki was simple, he contacted the venue, gives you a planning tool for timeline/playlist/etc, and connects with you week of to make sure that you are on the same page. The night of he came up just to make sure that things were going well and that we were still on track with the plan. Just the right amount of checking in but also knowing the flow of a wedding to take control.
Ruki Dole is an AMAZING AND GIFTED D.J., who helped to make our daughter & new son-in-laws wedding and reception SPECTACULAR!! My husband and I first experienced Rukis amazing abilities two years prior, at the wedding of my cousin Kathys daughter - Kate - in Detroit, MI. My husband and I decided then and there, that if / whenever our daughter married, we would fly Ruki Dole in for the ceremony and reception, here in VIRGINIA - HES THAT GOOD!! Fast-forward two years, and we made good on our promise. Ruki did a wonderful job of setting the stage for the ceremony music, outside amongst the hills and vines in the vineyard of a local winery - THEN - he relocated effortlessly inside to get the dance floor JUMPIN for the reception!!! Everyone from the youngest attendees (5 yrs old) to the oldest (94!) had a FANTASTIC time that evening, and RUKI was a HUGE part of that success!!! Ruki - my husband Tad, our daughter Alexandra, and our new son-in-law Evan cant thank you enough!!! You and your musical talents played a major part in making this special day in our lives SIMPLY SPECTACULAR!!!!!
DJ Ruki Dole with Dreamhouse Productions did an amazing job providing the music at our wedding ceremony and reception! Wed absolutely recommend him and his team to anyone getting married. Music was an important aspect for us and we couldnt be happier that our dance floor was packed throughout the reception. DJ Ruki is a really talented and professional DJ; he doesnt just play a playlist of songs but instead is constantly mixing songs together on the fly, which is really incredible to witness. He keeps an eye on the dance floor, too, and adjusts the music to keep everyone dancing. We were able to compile a list of Must Play and Do Not Play songs via the Dreamhouse Productions online planning portal tool which was very useful. He was punctual and professional, and his cost was very reasonable. Do your wedding guests a favor and hire DJ Ruki to keep the dance floor bouncing!
My wife and I got married in June 2018. We’re both very Type A people when it comes to organization and planning, especially when it came to our wedding. We talked to and received quotes from several DJs for our [traditional Indian] wedding and [Bollywood & hip-hop mixed] reception. Many were recommended to us by friends. We were not impressed by many of the DJs we talked to prior. Many of them seemed unorganized, had poor communication skills, and some never even got back to us. We got DJ Ruki’s name from a friend and contacted him. Within 2 minutes of our first phone call, we knew he was the perfect DJ for our wedding. He was extremely organized, articulated many details that we would have never thought of, and did a great job of explaining his services and options in terms of packages. After the phone call, we talked about it and decided to book him that very moment. We called him back right away and did just that.A few weeks before the wedding, we met in person and went over everything, including the order of events and what information he needed from us. There were a few things that we missed like the song playing for the cake cutting but with his experience, he helped ensure we had everything ready to go.The morning of the wedding, DJ Ruki was set up and ready to go, without any additional direction from us. In terms of the traditional Indian/Hindu wedding ceremony, there are very specific songs to be played at specific times. I edited those tracks, numbered, and sent the mp3 files to DJ Ruki ahead of time. Without any rehearsals, the entire wedding ceremony went on without a hitch.We also had entrance songs for the reception that I edited and labeled. The MCs made a mistake with one of the entrances but DJ Ruki was quick to fix it. Other tracks such as the cake cutting, first dance, mother/son dance, and father/daughter dance were all played in order at the correct time.For the reception dancing songs, Dream House Productions/DJ Ruki has an online portal to login to and you can search and add songs that you’d like him to mix. You can categorize them into Definitely Play, Maybe Play, and Do Not Playlists. The whole process was very convenient and made it simple for us to choose [English] songs we wanted to play. Since we had an Indian wedding, we also sent him a playlist via an Excel document of Hindi/Bollywood songs we wanted for both the baraat (grooms procession) and reception dancing. Overall, the song selection could not have been simpler. He had the dance floor full the entire night and we had friends that don’t usually dance never even leave the dance floor.As I said before, organization and communication were a huge priority for us. There were no moments where we felt that DJ Ruki was out of the loop. He coordinated with our other vendors to provide the best service that he could and we could not have been happier. We always had open lines of communication and he always got back to us in a timely manner. We have absolutely no regrets in hiring Dream House Productions and DJ Ruki to manage and DJ the most important day of our lives and no one else should have any hesitations about hiring him either!TLDR: Best DJ we could have imagined. He was well organized and did everything we could have asked for. All the tracks and mixes were spot on and the dance floor was full all night. Everyone had a blast.
BDJP! Best Disc Jockey Period!! DJ Ruki did a phenomenal job at our wedding. When hosting a wedding, one of the core items you have to nail down to ensure your guests have an epic time is having great music, and DJ Ruki delivered!! DJ Ruki excels at reading the crowd (different ages and ethnicities) and balances the music accordingly. He is well versed in Indian music and kept the Indian parentals and adults on the dance floor busting a move. He then seamlessly transitioned to more American music for the young adults. DJ Ruki doesnt just play one song after another either. Hell play the main chorus and melodies of a song while surveying the atmosphere and engagement on the dance floor, switching it out for another in such a way that energizes the guests and keeps them moving and dancing hard. And from song to song, DJ Ruki is working hard, spinning, mixing, and overlapping tunes to provide ridiculous transitions from the current song to the next. Overall, when you still see over 200 guests on the dance floor after 1 AM, you know DJ Ruki is hitting the right notes and providing the crowd unparalleled entertainment. For your guests, there is nothing more you can ask for from your DJ.Aside from the dance floor duties, DJ Ruki does a great job with event management logistics and making sure your wedding and all its events and moving parts take place on time without a hitch. He works with all the vendors and banquet hall staff to make sure everyone is on the same page and ready to execute their responsibilities for items like the cake cutting or bride and grooms first dance. DJ Ruki is professional, organized, and reliable, and he knows when to take charge. During our wedding we had a program with several performances and speeches back to back which included instruments, singing and dancing, music, multimedia, and other technology, and with his experience and expertise, the program went flawlessly. DJ Ruki ensured everyone was ready to go when the bride and groom and their families were ready.If you want a DJ for your wedding, choosing DJ Ruki will be the easiest decision you will make during planning. There is no need to speak to any other DJs. You will not be disappointed and you and your guests are guaranteed to have a fantastic time. I recommend DJ Ruki for everyone.
We were in the market for a DJ for our spring 2019 wedding. Chirag and I both have a love for music Bollywood, old school hip/hop and everything in between, so we knew that for our wedding, the DJ had to be a rockstar.Typical Gujurati weddings in Chicago go with the comfortable choice of a Gujurati DJ that plays the same music regardless of who the couple is. However, we thought it was played out and wanted something different and unique. Pretty being a native Chicagoan had heard DJ Ruki spin in bars, clubs and events throughout Chicago and at first listen we fell in love with his style of spinning and his passion of the music. We booked DJ Ruki and from day one working with him was phenomenal! He took the time to understand us as a couple and our taste in music. He was super responsive to our needs every step of the way while being professional with us and our other vendors.Friday night we had an Evening of Entertainment casino themed night in which DJ Ruki played a variety of Bollywood and American music, along with some Bond themes songs as per our request. After some family dances he played some garba music, followed by some old school hip-hop which gave our guests a taste of what was to come. The bharat was just what the Chirag asked for, Bollywood mixed with old school hip-hop and a shout out to North Carolina with Petey Pablo. DJ Ruki killed it at our wedding reception, by entertaining all 700 of our guests playing non-stop hit after hit across all decades and genres with his personal twist on each mix. His music and style transformed our reception into a club atmosphere with the dance floor packed all night until 1:30AM, with the crowd wanting one more song!For any couple looking for s DJ for their wedding or any event we highly recommend DJ Ruki, as you will not be disappointed.Thank you DJ Ruki and Dream House Productions for making our wedding the talk of town and most importantly your friendship we gained while working with you. We will forever be grateful that you uplifted 700 people off their seats and rocked the Rosemont Convention center louder than ever!!!!!!Chirag and Pretty
We could not have asked for a better dj to make our reception a night to remember.My husband and I have gone to a fair amount of weddings.We think it’s just the receptions atmosphere that can make or break a party.It’s all about the groom and the bride true, but we think weddings are for family and friends too.So with that said,we just wanted ours to be fun and full of energy and smiles not just from us but with everyone who came.Dj ruki definitely understood what we wanted.He was very thorough but at the same time he pitched in great ideas we would have never thought of and so there were definitely highlights in our reception.He was very much open to suggestions which my husband and I truly appreciate.From the introduction to dance party we had no problems with him joining forces with our coordinator.We thought it was very clever of them how they managed our hectic timeline and made it Mission Impossible fun.The music was on point and the party was just rockin!!!we are ALL dancing the night away.My husband and I hardly sat not just because we were seeing some of our guests and getting ourselves a drink but because the music and the atmosphere or vibe will just make you go back to the dancefloor lol!!!.Seeing our family and friends having a great time until the end wow!!!!.Kudos to our Dj Ruki really we are forever grateful.Super highly recommended
Ruki was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding day! From the day we met him, we could tell that Rukis electrifying personality and pure professionalism were exactly what we hoped for in a wedding DJ. But that said, Ruki isnt just a DJ: hes a sound tech, lighting extraordinaire, and mashup machine! We loved the online tool for our music selections and timeline. He kept us organized, on scheduled, and even coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure our day ran smoothly - Ruki was there with us from 10am (and earlier to set-up) until midnight. He coordinated with our dhol player for the Baraat music, arranged sound for both of our ceremonies, and of course rocked a dance party reception. He designed a beautiful uplight set-up and dance floor lighting to really make our decor pop. When it came time for dancing, our guests couldnt stop raving about how awesome the party was! We didnt leave the dance floor all night. He went above and beyond, and I hope we can have another party someday just so Ruki can bring the house down again!
Our wedding ended at 2am with nearly 100 people still on the dance floor (ranging in ages from 10-60+) in full party mode all because of the music and the energy DJ Ruki generated. Ruki kept the energy high while still meeting all of our very nit picky requests for ceremonies and specific things we had to do through the night. For having a Mexican-Chinese-Jewish-Moroccan crowd with strong Jewish influence (and not being from any of those cultures himself) he absolutely NAILED IT. DJ Ruki read the crowd perfectly and kept everyone dancing til the absolute last moment and we are so grateful that he was the DJ for our event. He had a great set-up, provided great equipment (including a monogram that added a great deal of class at an affordable price), and included other lighting equipment that made the pillars in the reception room stand out where people kept commenting how classy and elegant the room felt. I highly, highly, highly recommend DJ Ruki for your next event and guarantee you wont regret it. Thanks again, DJ Ruki, for delivering an above and beyond performance in what is absolutely one of the most critical points/roles of a wedding. We are so grateful and appreciative and cant wait to bring you back for our next Chicago-based event!
If you want the best wedding DJ, Ruki Dole is him!!My husband and I had previously seen Dream House Productions at another wedding where we danced all night and decided to look no further for our own wedding a year later. Although we didnt think it was possible, Ruki did an even better job at our wedding and had guests from 20-70+ years old dancing for 5 hours straight! Our friends and our parents friends are still telling us how much they danced and how great the DJ was.Our wedding was at a hotel so Dream House Productions provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception as well as uplighting. Everything they did was fantastic and we truly believe we had the best dance party ever with the help of Ruki Dole and Dream House Productions. We couldnt be happier to recommend this company!I’m writing this review two years after our wedding and Ruki is still the best wedding DJ we have ever seen. You can’t go wrong with Dream House!
Reviewing a DJ in general, especially one as great at Ruki and DHP, requires a lot of words, and so I’m going to try to break it down for anyone looking for a fantastic DJ for their event (you should book him. seriously)What Services did he do for you?I believe we had the premium package — he DJ’d our sangeet (inc. performances), baraat, ceremony, and reception, and got us the uplights.Overall Happiness?in a word, absolutely. When we met Ruki, we were relatively early in our planning. From the get-go, Ruki was professional, kind, gave us tips for a successful DJ experience, advised us on how he works, his timeline as the date gets closer, and is happy to answer any DJ questions for us. As we continued working with him, we developed a great rapport, and as we filled him in on our progressions with planning, he had some really helpful tips to share with us.mixes/choice of music?We actually got a ton of compliments on the music. Even aunties were coming up to the both of us and commenting on the music! Ruki is definitely current, and I personally think his mixes were excellent. What’s great about his set up is that you provide him with must playlists of songs, and “absolutely do not play” lists. We made sure to keep out stuff that the definitely didn’t want (macarena? yikes) and stuff that we absolutely wanted to hear. Generally, I told him to keep it new, pop/hip-hop, and bhangra-y, and let him have at it. It turned out great.sound/lighting system?His sound system was great for us — we had approx. a 250 seat wedding, so we didn’t need something super loud/etc. Ruki has pretty much all the equipment one would need for a super large wedding as well — the couple who referred him to us had a 500 or so seat wedding and had zero issues with equipment.With the lighting stuff, we also didn’t do a whole lot here (i think we did his premium package set up). As I said, for the smaller venue it was really great. (we also had party LED batons for the dance floor which we thought were a great addition to the party)One thing especially to be aware of is that he has his own uplight set. Depending on who you’re using for decor, your typical decor company will probably charge you more for uplights than Ruki will. We saved a decent amount just on that, and as you start to approach your budget markers, every bit of savings helps.Any Disadvantages?Honestly, not really. Anything that Ruki can help with he does, and any glitches over the course of your wedding night/weekend that involves him are fixed ASAP. If I had to do it again or had to help out with anyone else’s, I would absolutely recommend Ruki.Rishi & Priya Jain.
If you are planning a party or wedding and are looking for the BEST DJ out there? Then look no farther, you found him.I stumbled upon DJ Ruki in a Chicago bar several years ago. Myself and a friend of mine were out and about hanging out and walked into a bar where Ruki was DJing at. It took no time at all to realize this guy was GOOD. So good, in fact, that another friend was in town for a wedding and she brought the WHOLE wedding party and family out to the bar to party and dance with Ruki. and boy did he deliver.Fast forward about 5 years and its time for my wedding. I didnt even shop around, DJ Ruki was the ONLY option. My now husband was nervous, he had never heard of this guy, but I told him trust me on this one.DJ Ruki traveled to Ferndale, MI to DJ our wedding at the Rust Belt Market. He was fantastic. From the time we signed the contract, there was nothing but professionalism and ease. He played exactly type of music we wanted during cocktail hour and dinner. He stepped in and helped the wedding coordinator release tables for dinner when she was busy doing other things. He entertained the kids with music they enjoyed while the adults were eating....and once it came time to dance, I have never seen people swarm a dance floor so fast. And it never stopped. People were dancing THE ENTIRE TIME (including my 90 year old grandfather)!! it was actually amazing.I put a lot of hard work in the planning of our wedding (and I wouldnt change it for the world), but still 2 weeks later, I hear more about the DJ than anything else.Here are a few comments Ive heard over the past week:Thumbs up! He even listened to me when I wanted a song played. - 5 year old little girlBEST DJ EVER! - 28 year old manDoes he have mix tapes? - 29 year old womanOMG, this guy is amazing! We are totally booking him for our wedding in Oct. - 36 year old manI didnt know it was possible to have that many people dancing the entire time at a wedding. We even have booze left over because people were dancing more than drinking. - 59 year old Father of the BrideThat was the most fun Ive had in a VERY long time. Thank you. - 90 year old Grandfather of the BrideTo sum it up, DJ Ruki is incredible. He played to our crowd, young and old, for the entire night. I could not have asked for anything better. It was the best night of my life and I owe part of that to this amazing DJ.Do yourself a favor, if you are looking for a DJ, stop here and call Dream House Productions.
Ruki was absolutely amazing!! I have had the privilege to have met Ruki while he was working/DJing at Kerryman. He was friendly right away, and every time he was DJing, we made our way to Kerryman, because we could actually dance to great music at a bar!When I got engaged, I KNEW he had to Dj my wedding! Guests were on the dance floor the entire night, his music was non stop good until the last song was played! Which was 1am! No one wanted to leave!He has a great flow of songs, and he starts off with oldies (but goodies) that gets a large crowd on the dance floor! He also makes the process of picking songs for your bridal party very easy. We were able to pick a different song for each bridesmaid/groomsman! (A lot of DJs just play 1 or 2 songs while announcing the bridal party). The wedding was amazing, because of his music and personality!My cousin who recently got engaged, loved him at my wedding and booked him right away!If you want a great DJ who you can trust, knows what he is doing, and listens to the bride/groom, then BOOK DJ Ruki!!
There is no way that I can fully express in words how insanely happy and satisfied we are with Dream House Production. DJ Ruki is beyond incredible. We got married on 10/07/2017 and people will not stop talking about how amazing the party was. DJ Ruki kept our party going the entire night. From the very beginning to the end we loved every second of it. Ruki really helped make our wedding the best day of our lives. You can trust him to read your crowd and know which songs to get the party going. He showed up on time, looking sharp and ready to give his all to make our day perfect. I am giving Ruki and Dream House Production my highest recommendation. If you want the best of the best, you must book him for your wedding. Best and easiest decision youll make of your entire wedding! Thanks Ruki! We cant thank you enough! xoxo
Ruki and his team at Dream House Productions made our wedding the best dance party we could have ever imagined. His ability to not only read the crowd but to guide the flow of the entire reception was of the highest caliber. The key to a great party is great entertainment and that is exactly what Dream House Productions gave us. From beginning to end, the dance floor was packed and at the end of the night everyone was talking about how great my DJ was! Ruki really takes the time to do the work, gets to know you as a couple, really listens to what you are looking for in your party, and then makes it happen. We couldn’t recommend Dream House Productions more for your DJ services. 10 out of 5 stars!!!
Highly recommended Dream House Productions.Fantastic photos and video taken of our property.Was able to have a photographer and videographer at the property at the exact day and time I wanted even though it was short notice.Genuine customer service and very professional,even helped out with moving items like BBQ covers and kids toys.Needed no direction what so ever.Pictures and videos were delivered to me the following day and were absolutely stunning.Pricing is great value for the speed and service of this company.Highly impressed and definitely recommend them.
