Testimonials
Freshta
Pooya was great to work with from start to finish. He was always quick to respond, patient with all our questions, and clearly cared about getting the details right. On the day of, everything ran exactly how we hoped. he and our coordinator had it dialed in and the dance floor never emptied out. Highly recommend.
Farid
Pooya was fantastic. We had an Afghan-American fusion wedding and were nervous about how the music would flow between the two, but he nailed it. Organized, easy to communicate with, and totally unfazed by the changes we threw at him. The dance floor stayed full the entire night. Can't recommend him enough.
Sahar
Halfway through the night I looked over and my 70-year-old uncle was on the dance floor! Pooya reads the room all night and kept it going. Also super easy to work with in the lead-up. He was quick to reply and flexible when we made changes. Thanks for the great experience Pooya!
