01
Mehndi Ceremony
Mehndi opens the wedding weekend — the bride seated among her closest family and friends while henna artists work. DJ Sohbash builds a flowing, joyful playlist that drifts from soft melodic Bollywood into energetic group numbers as the room's mood shifts. Sufi ballads, romantic classics, surprise crowd-pleasers — every Mehndi playlist becomes a journey of its own.

DJ Sohbash matches that energy with playful, high-energy tracks built specifically for the moment: folk music, regional classics, and the songs that get grandmothers and cousins dancing together. His Haldi sets are talked about across South Asian wedding circles.
Punjabi Folk · Bollywood · Bhangra · Regional Classics
03
Garba & Dandiya Night
Many Gujarati and multicultural Indian wedding weekends are built around Garba/Dandiya Night, and DJ Sohbash has made it one of his deepest specialties. Traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, devotional-to-celebratory transitions executed seamlessly — and the kind of crowd-reading honed over 3,000+ Indian weddings that keeps the floor spinning for hours without a dip.
Traditional Garba · Dandiya Raas · Fusion Garba · Navratri Classics
04
Sangeet Night
The biggest dance night of the Indian wedding weekend is almost always the Sangeet, and DJ Sohbash's Sangeet performances become the thing clients reference for years. After the family performances and skit segments wrap, he takes over with a set engineered for this exact family and crowd: Bollywood from every era, Bhangra for the Punjabi uncles, fusion EDM drops to bring younger guests in, and clean crowd-reading that holds the floor until midnight.

Baraat Procession
The Baraat is the groom's grand entrance — and DJ Sohbash has orchestrated over 3,000+ of them. Whether it's a horse-led Baraat through the streets of Boutique Weddings by Ali Chicago, a dhol-driven procession through a luxury hotel lobby, or an arrival choreographed to a specific Bollywood anthem, DJ Sohbash coordinates every beat, every transition, and every crowd moment to make the groom's arrival the most unforgettable five minutes of the weekend.
