“This was my first time working with this vendor and I have to say that they did a superb job in meeting our needs. They were understanding and cooperative when we made some last minute changes. From the initial visit to the day of production they were professional and reliable. I would definitely use their services again for future events.”

“The best decision we ever made for our parties was hiring your DJ services. Everyone was talking about Efi and the light show. The party rocked because of you guys. It really felt like we were live at Ultra Music festival!!!.The music was so good that we had several visits from strangers, partying at nearby clubs such as Monty’s, wanting to dance at our party!! We are very happy with your services and will continue using you guys for all our event/party needs. We have recommended your event services to our friends…”

Happy New Year,

Our wedding was a success, BECAUSE of Solaris. Not only was the lighting beautiful, but DJ Efi and drummer Mandy turned our wedding into a happy celebration. Our goal was for our guests to have a good time, and these 2 delivered (and more). Not only do my fiancé and I come from 2 different cultures, but almost 80% of our guests have never met each other. Most of us were convinced our wedding would be silent, uncomfortable and awkward. DJ and Mandy encouraged all our guests to dance (including the children) with their personalities and song choices. By the end of the night, we became one big happy family (and some of our guests were even flirting with each other hehe). It’s more than a week later, and people are still talking about our wedding. Thank you guys, truly. xoxo

DJ Efi provided the lounge furniture, the kid’s lounge looked fabulous! Efi had everyone both young and old dancing all night long. The dance floor was never empty and Efi actually had to tell my guests that the party was over! I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We are so happy that we chose DJ Efi to play at our wedding. Our wedding was at The Eden Regal ballroom and the dance floor was packed the entire night! Dj Efi nailed the exact vibe we were hoping to achieve. He was so professional, and had the best attitude. When we were considering music, we were nervous to go the DJ route (as opposed to a band). As it turns out we couldn’t be happier!! Our engaged friends who attended have ALL asked for his info so they can book him as well.

Keren at samba entertainment is awesome! She was always quick to respond and very pleasant to work with.

I would absolutely recommend DJ Efi to anyone who is looking for an amazing DJ service!

Efi and his staff provided beautiful modern lounge furniture, GOBO and up lighting for my husband’s 40th birthday party. His team is incredibly accommodating and professional. Every detail was thought about and his team really made my event special and beautiful. Karen from Samba Entertainment did a extraordinary job and making sure everything was PERFECT! I highly recommend them for any entertainment needs!

The entire staff at Samba Entertainment and Solaris Mood provided everything we needed to give our kids a dance they would never forget! They went above and beyond our expectations! DJ Efi was awesome! He kept the party going right to the last minute. Karen was very attentive to all our requests and gave me amazing service. The photo station was a total hit with all of the kids! Can’t wait to use them again for our next party. Thank you!

From the very beginning, working with Samba Entertainment/Solaris Mood had been amazing. Karen is fabulous to deal with, and DJ Efi was such a pleasure to work with as well! Samba Entertainment provided our DJ Services, Photobooth, LED Stage and rentals and “liveshots” with screen throughout the party. Everyone had a blast, and people couldn’t stop telling me what a great event it was! I would totally recommend Samba Ent. to anyone looking for full service entertainment for their event!

What can I say about Samba Entertainment/Solaris Mood? They SAVED my wedding day. After PLANNING an outdoor garden wedding party, it started to pour. Efi and the crew transformed an unplanned for, dull room into a wedding paradise!!! If it were not for Solaris Mood (and Samba Entertainment) my event would have literally been a wreck!!! They came through far beyond any other vendor I have ever seen, heard of, or worked with – In lightning speed too! I thank god that I chose them for my special day…who know how other vendors would have reacted with last minute, unexpected complete change of plans. They saved the day, literally. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! NOBODY BEATS YOU GUYS!!!!

Loved DJ Efi and Keren very professional! Will use again for future events!

Samba entertainment provided our lighting, DJ all night and a reception with a saxophonist, violinist, and percussionist. The music was amazing! All of our guests were raving that the music just made the night!

We are so grateful to the hard work Efi and Karen put in to make our wedding incredible. They worked with the FOB and MOG to incorporate their tastes and in the end we had the perfect mix of old school rock and roll for Dad, Israeli music for Mom and modern music for my husband and I. It was perfect.

One of the most important thing about your wedding besides your dress and the right man…is your entertainment!!! A wedding is about celebrating and it must be out of this world…lucky for you you have found the perfect fusion DJ/band. From the very beginning Efi and Karen were absolutely warm, professional and easy to work with. I was planning my own wedding so working with them was the best knowing I was in good hands. I got emails, texts and phone calls saying that the DJ rocked the house and my ceremony music was surreal. The display of lights and decor was beautiful and they definitely made my night. Everyone raved that my wedding was one of the best and most fun and owe a huge part of that to SAMBA! From the cocktail hour, the ceremony and reception it was all fantastic! Thank you so much!Raina : )

Samba is based in Dania Beach, FL. They will come to NYC, however, if you meet a minimum of $5K. We hired Samba to handle our music because we were looking for a DJ who would play a mix of international and American music. Although they played a few songs by artists I had placed on the “Do Not Play List” (i.e. Britney Spears), overall, they did a fabulous job with the music and my guests had a great time. They also handled the lighting in the ballroom and sanctuary, which looked beautiful and really enhanced the rooms. Samba specializes in recorded music played alongside live musicians. We hired DJ Efi along with a saxophonist, percussionist and violinist, which really enhanced the effect of the recorded music.

Karen is DJ Efi’s assistant. We hired her to do our day-of coordination and she turned out to be a godsend. She was very patient regarding all the little details I emailed her and she really came through to make both the sanctuary and ballroom look beautiful and to keep the night running smoothly. She also charged a fraction of the rates charged by Manhattan wedding coordinators. For the price alone, she was an amazing deal. I would highly recommend her, even if you do not go with DJ Efi.
