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 Carnivale Chicago.
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.

02
Haldi Ceremony
Turmeric, family, laughter, music — the Haldi is unfiltered celebration. DJ Sohbash arrives with playful, high-energy tracks that fit this vibrant pre-wedding ritual perfectly: folk songs, regional classics, the kind of music that pulls grandmothers and college-age cousins onto the same dance floor. His Haldi work is well known in South Asian wedding circles.
Punjabi Folk · Bollywood · Bhangra · Regional Classics
03
Garba & Dandiya Night
For Gujarati and many multicultural Indian wedding families, Garba/Dandiya Night is the highlight of the entire weekend.

Across 3,000+ Indian weddings, he's catalogued every classic and refined every crowd-reading technique the night demands.
Traditional Garba · Dandiya Raas · Fusion Garba · Navratri Classics

Sangeet Night
Indian wedding weekends peak on Sangeet night, and DJ Sohbash's Sangeet sets are typically what clients keep talking about long after. Family performances and skits run their course; then DJ Sohbash steps up with a curated set for this specific room — Bollywood hits across every era, Bhangra targeted at the Punjabi uncles, fusion EDM drops that pull the younger generation onto the floor, and the multigenerational crowd-reading that holds the energy through midnight.
