Real Experiences from Event Hosts Who Booked With Us
When you’re planning an event, a lot rides on your entertainment choices. As event hosts, you want your audience to feel the vibe, stay engaged, and walk away remembering something special.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with event hosts across Mumbai and other cities in India some seasoned planners, some doing it for the first time. And we’ve seen firsthand how the right artist or DJ can completely change the game.
So, we reached out to a few of our clients real event hosts who booked talent through BMT Agency and asked them to share their stories.
We Built an Artist Booking Platform That Solves Real Problems
1. “We had a wedding crowd of 800, and they danced till 2 AM.”
Name: Nikhil R., Mumbai
Event Type: Big fat Indian wedding
Booked Talent: DJ + Dhol artists
“Honestly, I was nervous. Indian weddings are high-pressure, especially when you have family flying in from everywhere. I wanted the Sangeet to be crazy fun but still classy. I booked a DJ and dhol artists through BMT. From the first call, I knew they understood what I wanted. The DJ’s playlist had everyone—my uncles, cousins, even my 70-year-old grandmother—dancing till 2 AM. Our dhol guys even did an impromptu jugalbandi with the DJ. It was magic. As event hosts, all we want is for people to have a good time. This was more than I hoped for.”
2. “Our college fest went from average to unforgettable.”
Name: Shreya B., Pune
Event Type: College Fest
Booked Talent: Indie Band + Stand-Up Comedian
“College budgets aren’t huge, so we weren’t sure if we could afford professional artists. But BMT actually helped us make it work without going over. I didn’t even know we could get a comedian for the same night! As event hosts, our goal was to hype up the student crowd. We got an indie band that played both originals and crowd favorites, and the comedian? He had everyone laughing non-stop. It made our fest feel like a mini concert. Total hit.”
3. “Corporate events don’t have to be boring.”
Name: Alok M., Navi Mumbai
Event Type: Corporate Annual Meet
Booked Talent: Anchor + Mentalist
“Our past events had boring PowerPoint vibes. This year, we wanted to add something different. As event hosts, we’re often stuck in a formal loop. I spoke to the BMT team and they suggested something I’d never considered—a mentalist. Along with a professional anchor, this combo was insane. Our employees were shocked, laughing, and totally engaged. People are still talking about how the mentalist guessed passwords and told someone what they had for breakfast.”
4. “Private parties deserve professional treatment too.”
Name: Tanya D., Bandra
Event Type: 40th Birthday Bash
Booked Talent: Bollywood DJ + Percussionist
“I was hosting a surprise birthday party for my husband. I didn’t want it to feel like just another night at a lounge. As event hosts, we usually end up managing everything ourselves. But BMT made it smooth. The DJ came prepped with a special birthday mix. The percussionist added such a raw energy to the tracks—it felt like a mini club experience in our backyard. My husband said it was his best birthday in years.”
5. “It’s hard to find reliable artists in tier-2 cities.”
Name: Junaid K., Nashik
Event Type: Religious Event (Eid celebration)
Booked Talent: Qawwali Group + Emcee
“We don’t have access to a lot of artist options locally. As event hosts, we struggle to find someone who fits both the budget and the vibe. I came across BMT through Instagram. I was surprised they could arrange a qawwali group on short notice. The emcee they provided helped keep the crowd in sync with the performances. It felt well-organized, even though we planned it just a week in advance.”
6. “We didn’t want a basic New Year’s party.”
Name: Farhan and Nisha, Powai
Event Type: New Year’s Eve House Party
Booked Talent: DJ + LED Dancers
“We were bored of the same clubs every year. So, we decided to host our own NYE party. As event hosts, we wanted people to feel like they were at a high-end event, not a house party. The DJ absolutely killed it with the playlist. But the LED dancers? That’s what people will remember. They came out at midnight with lit-up costumes and had choreographed sets ready. It felt like a scene from a festival.”
What Makes Event Hosts Choose BMT Agency?
Over the years, we’ve noticed a few common reasons why event hosts return to us for bookings:
1. Curation, Not Just Coordination
We don’t just book talent we help curate the right vibe for your audience. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, a startup mixer, or a Diwali mela, our team understands how to match artists to your crowd.
2. End-to-End Support
From setting up sound to managing last-minute changes, we’ve got your back. Most event hosts don’t have the time to manage a dozen moving parts. That’s where we come in.
3. Pan-India Network
While we’re based in Mumbai, we’ve helped event hosts across India – Ahmedabad, Pune, Indore, Goa, you name it. We’ve built a reliable artist network across cities and genres.
Small Details Matter to Event Hosts
We once worked with an NGO hosting a charity gala. The host specifically asked for a live flute artist for a soft background vibe. She didn’t want anything loud, just subtle and elegant. We found the perfect artist who had played for art exhibitions before. That small touch made the evening feel classy and intimate.
Event hosts often don’t know exactly what they’re looking for but they do know how they want people to feel. Our job is to bridge that gap.
Real-Time Troubleshooting
Here’s a story. A DJ’s car broke down en route to a wedding in Thane. As soon as he called us, we sent another artist from our backup roster who reached in 45 minutes. The wedding went on as scheduled.
Most event hosts don’t think about what happens when something goes wrong. We do. That’s why we always keep backup options, because your night shouldn’t suffer due to a glitch.
Artists That Connect With the Crowd
We once booked a stand-up comedian for a corporate event in Andheri. But what made it special wasn’t just the jokes it was how he customized parts of his set for the company. He roasted the CEO (with permission), used employee names in his act, and turned the whole thing into an inside joke. As event hosts, those are the moments that make you look good in front of your audience.
How to Book as an Event Host
Booking talent with us is super straightforward:
- Reach out via our website or WhatsApp.
- Tell us about your event type, crowd size, venue, budget.

Final Thoughts
We’ve worked with over 500+ event hosts till now, and every one of them brought a unique vision to the table. Whether you’re planning something big or small, public or private, the goal is always the same to create an experience people remember.
And the right artist? That’s often the difference between a “decent” night and an “epic” one.
