Dashing Events

I just got married last week and was lucky enough to be able to book Omead and his team. What an amazing night!!! the music was always my priority and i could not be happier with the results. My wedding was Iranian/​Palestinian and Omead could not have done a better job at mixing the music! I also had Amin as our Sax player and Ozzie on the percussion. they were both amazing. they both play on the dance floor with every one dancing. I just simply cannot say enough. I have received countless complements about the music. At least 11 people asked for their business card, and my cousin from Vancouver (who is a wedding planner) wants to work with them on an upcoming wedding in Van City.
Dashing Events staff are professional, reliable, super friendly and easy to work with. They showed up early, everything was so smooth and worry free. if you want an amazing party with great music that everyone would love just go with Dashing Events, and do not hesitate to ask for musicians, because it adds SO much to your night!!!

We found Dashing Events through a friend of a friend and were so happy we did. We were having such a hard time find the right DJ. My husband and I are both Persian but definitely lean more on the American side in regards to music, and we were looking for someone to keep our dance floor packed with our half American/​half Persian guest list.
As soon as we found out about MC Tehran, we were beyond SOLD! And he and DJ Maha made the best team!

Oh my gosh. I don’t even know where to start! My Persian husband and my American self were in a unique situation when looking for music for our wedding. Expecting a 50:50 crowd, we decided to go in a different direction than the typical Jewish Persian wedding and hire an American band and a Persian DJ. When we told our coordinator about the decision, she told us there is only ONE Persian DJ we should work with in all of LA, and that was DJ Omead at Dashing Events!
Let me start by saying we have been to a lot of Persian weddings and seen a lot of Persian DJs. However, we have never seen a DJ that has read and amped a crowd quite like Omead. He is SIMPLY amazing… hands down THE BEST!!! We did a ‘typical’ Persian ceremony where we danced down the aisle and Omead NAILED the timing for all of our couples on their songs. People are still raving!!! He spent HOURS with us choosing our music and helped us make every decision along the way. During our reception, he did an AMAZING job complimenting and contrasting the band’s sets, and EVERY transition was seamless. During one of the Persian dance sets he even mixed some of the Farsi songs with English songs — I have never heard anything like it! It was INSANE! Our guests were all going crazy!
Aside from keeping our dance floor packed until the minute our last song played, Omead did an absolutely outstanding job on the lighting for our wedding! We got married outside after sunset and he lit up the ceremony site so miraculously. It truly felt like a dream. All of the lighting/​draping he provided for the reception exceeded all of our expectations! He made every vision come to life! Also, our florist kept saying how impressed they were that his standard centerpice lighting was double pin spots!
Omead was an absolute asset to making our day a true success! Our guests are still raving about how aboslutely gorgeous out wedding was! We cannot wait to work with Omead again somtime soon! THANKS OMEAD FOR EVERYTHING!!!

My review is long overdue! We had our wedding back in April and it couldn’t have been any better without Dashing Events! We hired them for: up lighting, dance floor, string lighting, photobooth, photography, and videography.
Everything came out so beautifully and their service was superb. Omead walked us through the process from the beginning — communication is key when planning this all out. Prices were very reasonable — especially for photography and videography. We took a risk since we couldn’t meet the photographers till the wedding day, but relied on Omead’s expertise and conveying the type of photos we wanted.
Dashing event staff were all very friendly on the wedding day and it went by very smoothly. Thank you again for your service!

AMAZING! They did a fantastic job for my daughter’s bat mitzvah. Great music and great energy. Highly recommend them.

Very professional staff. Omead is personable and certainly take the time to accommodate us and with multiple requests. It was nice to communicate by email as calling during the day was difficult for us. We certainly appreciated their timely arrival to the event and setting the lighting structures in place. you put extra lights on his own to make the space look better. He also came in the day before to set everything up for us. Thank you so much for the excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend to others.

I searched all over for a Persian/​American DJ and when I found Dashing Events I was so excited and not only did they not disappoint they exceeded my expectations. The website is easy to use and helpful for organizing the flow of the wedding with your music recommendations. Omead is organized and worked well with my wedding planner for the administration/​contract/​detail stuff. The lighting in the cocktail and dinner rooms was just beautiful. There was one small snafu during the cocktail hour with my slide show, but it was really undetectable by the guests.
The wedding reception and dancing was AMAZING and UNFORGETTABLE! MC Tehran was the highlight of the evening, keeping the flow of the event on track, making sure everyone was having a great time. He was so funny and engaging. People can’t stop talking about the amazing job he did and how great it was to have an MC. The wedding was only ¼ Persian so he taught the American guests how to dance, which was awesome. DJ Maha made sure to have the perfect balance of Persian to American music. He provided the best arrangement of music to keep me and our guests dancing all night! I danced all the way to the last dance! The percussionist was a fantastic addition to the night. He did an amazing job and it highlighted the event so well. I highly recommend this company and MC Tehran, DJ Maha, and the percussionist.

I spent a bit of time searching for the right DJ for our August 2015 Persian/​American wedding, and I was thrilled to find Dashing Events! Considering that half of our guests had never before attended a Persian wedding, it was really important to me that our DJ that not just throw in the occasional American song, but really engage all guests. Dashing Events came through (and, indeed, completely exceeded my expectations). MC Tehran kept everyone thoroughly entertained (his Persian dance tutorial for our American guests was a riot), and DJ Maha kept the music fun and engaging. They were both true professionals, as were DJ Omead and Shannon (who handled the admin side of our contract). The team at Dashing Events understood what we were looking for, and they really delivered. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. THANK YOU, DASHING EVENTS!

I can’t say enough about Dashing Events and Omead! Absolutely perfect from the lighting to the music to the emcee. Everyone was on point! Thank you Omead & Dashing! I absolutely recommend them!!!

We used Dashing Events for uplighting, photobooth, and deejay services for our wedding in August.
Uplighting: Dashing Events best work at our wedding was their uplighting. They did an incredible job and I would recommend them specifically for this service. They created a warm, glowing feel to the room.
Photobooth: The photobooth picture quality was great and they worked with us to create a template with the font we wanted for our names on the photobooth strip. All of the guests loved the photobooth and the props were good.
Deejay: Both we and the venue were surprised and disappointed by the deejay. Our interaction with Dashing Events up until the wedding was great. Dashing Events is a well-​organized and professional events company and they have a website where you can write in details about what songs you want and what you want the deejay to say throughout the night. My husband and I are also organized people and we were very detailed and thorough on the website. However, DJ Omead (DJO) forgot a lot of REALLY important parts that were explicitly written and we had talked about on the phone just a few days before the wedding. He messed up the names during the grand entrance (after he went over them with us right before), I had to remind him about a game that I had asked him to do with the guests before the grand entrance (a bride should not be reminding anyone of anything that day, especially when it’s all written down AND you talked about it), he forgot to explain the father-​daughter song (it’s a Persian song and since it was a bicultural wedding, we had asked him to interpret the title of the song and say a few words about it. He kept saying «I got it, I’ll definitely explain it» on the phone but totally didn’t do it. In our wedding video, I don’t get up to dance with my dad right away because I’m waiting for DJO to explain the song so it’s a little awkward), and he forgot to play a choreographed family song (we had asked him to play an Arabic song right after the father-​daughter song for the groom to dance with his family. He completely forgot to do that so the groom’s family actually approached us at the wedding and were all confused (and offended, rightfully so) about why we had skipped their Arabic family dance). This was all so frustrating, especially when all of this was talked about for an hour on the phone and written down! And to make matters worse, DJO didn’t even apologize or admit to forgetting any of it, which was really unprofessional. Instead his response was «I’m doing the best I can» which is sad if your best is to forget a bunch of very explicit details.
To look at this broadly, DJO plays good music and can keep the crowd dancing, which is great, but you know a vendor cares about their clients when they actually spend time to read what you have written and pay attention to the details that you work so hard to put together to make your wedding special. A DJ is not just playing music at your wedding, but making announcements and MC-​ing, so they need to prepare beforehand (especially when you have a multicultural wedding) and we definitely didn’t get the feeling that DJO spent too much time preparing for our wedding, and for that reason we wouldn’t recommend him.

I highly recommend Dashing Events and Omead! We recently used them for a 300-​guest outdoor Bat Mitzvah for which we needed different zones with different music and volume levels, a large screen and an MC. The sound quality was perfect and DJ Maz was able to both follow our musical requests and gauge the crowd’s taste for music. Our MC for the evening was Tehran and he was excellent! Tehran had a great way of making our daughter and us feel relaxed while getting the crowd going and involved in the party. Tehran was funny, warm and quite witty.
We met about three or four times prior to the party and Omead was always extremely helpful and helped us plan the entertainment for the evening. The next time I need a DJ, there is no chance I will use anyone other than Dashing Events.

We hired Dashing Events for my 80’s prom party and I was so happy we decided to do lighting– it made all the difference! I LOVE the way our photos turned out and the lights really dressed up our dated room! We were so happy with how professional and reasonably priced Dashing Events was. Omead was on top of everything and his kind and easy-​going personality made it a very pleasant experince.

Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable! Not only did this company go above and beyond but the photo booth tech was an absolute doll! Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Bajgrowicz

I used Dashing Events for my wedding last October for the outdoor lighting. Omead was prompt in his communication. I never met Omead but the work was done quickly, and well. My coordinator said that he’s always easy to work with, even though I engaged him separately from the coordinator and they had no work connection. None of my wedding party ever saw him but the place looked magical. He’s professional and can suggest different options for set ups depending on the venue. In wedding planning what’s most important is communication, professionalism, and getting the work done on the day of with minimal fuss. Omead was perfect in all of those aspects.

We used Dashing Events for our wedding and these guys did an amazing job. They were very professional and kept the crowed highly entertained. We knew very little about what kind of music to play but Omead totally lead the way and his recommendations were spot on. They also provided lighting, dj, and saxisphonist (which completley topped the night off)!
I would recommend them to anyone and would use them anytime.

I utilized Dashing Events for a photo booth for a July Fourth Party. Despite the short notice of about a week in advance, they were able to accommodate our needs very professionally and efficiently.
They actually arrived early for the set up and did a wonderful job. The guests thought it was a great idea and they all loved the take home souvenir.
After reading some of the poor reviews of the competitors, I was concerned about finding someone reliable. I was lucky to be referred to such an excellent and professional company. One competitor said they not find staff on the holiday.
The technician they sent also was accompanied by the owner, mr. Ohmead, very polite and conscientious.
We plan on using them again in the future and for other type of entertainment events.
They are highly recommended.

These are just some of the comments that I received from my guests regarding the DJ at our wedding :
” Damn, the music was so good”, «I didn’t know I could dance this much», «who was your DJ? He rocked your wedding».
DJ Omead and Dashing Events in general were amazing. From the start to the finish they worked really hard and rocked our wedding. The up lighting made the venue absolutely beautiful, and guests had a blast with the photo booth.
DJ Omead did a great job mixing Persian and non-​Persian music, He was great at reading the crowd and everyone had an amazing time. He is also a great MC.
Omead really helped us with the pre-​wedding planning and their website was our to go website for getting the timeline details and it was really easy to use.

Omead is absolutely the best and most epic DJ ever. He was easily the easiest part of our wedding set-​up process. I told him to play some awesome hip hop dance music mixed in with Arabic music to keep people on the floor. He kept a full dance floor until we all got kicked out by the venue … and our wedding was on a Sunday. People loved it so much they stuck around and decided to just skip work the next day!
The percussionist was money! He played the tabla along with all the music and gave it a nice beat that kept everyone going. Photobooth was a HIT and now we have 1000s more hilarious pictures of all of our friends and family.
I would hire him again in a heartbeat, no questions asked!

My husband Kevin and I got married on April 18, 2015 we booked Dashing Events because we aware of their superb reputation and me being Egyptian wanted to make sure we could have a Dj and a vendor with experience in middle eastern weddings. My husband is Irish and we both knew we wanted a good mix of Arabic and English and DJ MAZ delivered. We had been to various weddings and saw Dashing events DJ O, sax player and photo booth! As we never seen DJ MAZ at a wedding prior but we were so thrilled with his skill and ability to play and randomize the music in a way that kept everyone dancing the night away! We’re a young couple (25 years old) & having MC George was the cream on top! I highly recommend the MC/​DJ duo it was perfect. The lighting was kind of dull I thought it would be a bit more hidden but I feel like it was done in a way where everyone could see it, I wish it was a less subtle, but understand we had a huge ballroom that needed lighting. The director at Dashing events called me two days before we went over our timeline it also helped we had a coordinator but he was always prompt with emails, phone calls and texts too! We loved our wedding night and can’t wait to see our video to recapture all the wonderful moments. Shout out to MC George you were so personable and knew some of family members name by heart which was awesome! Our east coast friends still talk about our big day we will be recommending Dashing events.

Overall excellent services provided to us by Dj Maha who emceed our event on 03/​28/​2015 our Mexican/​Italian and Afghan wedding. Dj Maha played exactly what we asked him and provided a really good mix throughout the entire night. Playing at a multicultural wedding like ours is not an easy task but these guys impressed!
Thanks also go out to DJ Omead who oversaw the DJ, Mc, Guitarist and drummer. At one point we had a disagreement over a charge, but DJ Omead handled it very professionally.
In terms of pricing, Dashing Events was pretty competitive. They are not the cheapest, and definitely not the most expensive we interviewed. But the overall package they provided was a good deal.
I would recommend Dashing Events for any multicultural, middle eastern or american wedding.
