Our DJs and performers always arrive on-site at least an hour before the contracted start time of the event. We can also arrive earlier as needed by the setup requirements of the site.
The requirements are covered in detail in our contract, however in short, we need electricity, and a 3’x6’ DJ table that can be set up close to the dance floor.
Not usually. However, if you choose to book multiple services with us such as a group dance performance, or if you need an MC, we occasionally may have an extra person joining the DJ. Typically though, the event will be a one-person job.
If you have any questions about our sound and lighting equipment, please refer to our package information sheet HERE.
All of our mixing is done live at the event once we get a feel for the audience and vibe of the event. We will definitely hold back on the nightclub tunes during a special toast or moment in the family.
Yes! We do. Please let us know if you have any specific requests and we can make sure to include those for your ceremony.
Our DJ sets are for all occasions blending Bollywood, Bhangra and other regional dance music with TOP40, EDM, Latin & global tunes! We have an extensive knowledge of music of many different genres and do not exclusively play Bollywood & Bhangra tunes. We can play any and all types of music that you request. We’ll also send you a music timeline sheet to ensure that we will be prepared to play your songs on the day of the event. We encourage you to be as involved as you would like to be!
Bollywood Dreams is located in Portland, OR, however, we do regularly travel to different cities across the United States (and sometimes even out of the country) to entertain for your event. Upon filling out the booking form, please make sure to list the location of the event and we will work with you for an additional fee.
We have seen it all! While a majority of our events tend to be weddings and corporate functions, we have hosted interactive dance lessons for schools, taught bachelorette choreographies & assisted others in creating and performing the ultimate Bollywood Flashmob. We are very open and flexible in working with you and making your event a dream perfected. 😉
