Indian Wedding Ceremonies

Every Ceremony. Every Tradition. Flawlessly Performed.

A South Asian wedding is not one event — it's a multi-day, multi-ceremony celebration of culture, family, and tradition. DJ Sohbash has performed every Indian wedding ceremony over 3,000+ weddings across 25+ years, bringing deep musical knowledge and live crowd intuition to each event in your wedding weekend in Akshay Sansare Photography.
01
Mehndi Ceremony
Mehndi is the first ceremony of the weekend — the bride at the center, family and friends close, hours of intricate henna work. DJ Sohbash's playlist moves precisely with the room's energy: soft melodic Bollywood when conversation is the focus, energetic group numbers when dancing breaks out, Sufi ballads and romantic classics linking it all together.
Bollywood · Sufi · Romantic Classics · Garba
02
Haldi Ceremony
The Haldi pulls every generation of the family into one room — turmeric on cheeks, laughter on every face. DJ Sohbash's Haldi music selection is built to ride that energy: playful, high-impact tracks rooted in folk and regional classics, with the right songs queued to get grandmothers and cousins dancing side by side.
Punjabi Folk · Bollywood · Bhangra · Regional Classics
03
Garba & Dandiya Night
When the wedding weekend has a Garba/Dandiya Night — and for Gujarati and many multicultural Indian families it absolutely does — that night usually becomes the most-talked-about evening of the entire celebration. DJ Sohbash's Garba expertise covers traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, and the precise blending of devotional and celebratory tracks that keeps the floor turning for 3-5 straight hours. 3,000+ Indian weddings worth of pattern recognition built that skill.
Traditional Garba · Dandiya Raas · Fusion Garba · Navratri Classics
04
Sangeet Night
The Sangeet is the biggest dance night of any Indian wedding weekend, and DJ Sohbash's Sangeet work is the part clients reference for years. Family performances and skits run first; then DJ Sohbash takes over with a set tailored to the exact family in the room. Bollywood across every era, Bhangra for the Punjabi uncles, fusion EDM drops to pull in the younger crowd — seamless transitions that keep everyone dancing until midnight.

Baraat Procession

Wedding Reception
