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 Epic Events Chicago.
01
Mehndi Ceremony
Where it all begins: the Mehndi. The bride is surrounded by her closest people while intricate henna patterns take shape. DJ Sohbash's playlist follows that same arc — soft melodic Bollywood early, building into energetic group dance numbers as the energy lifts. Sufi ballads, romantic classics, and surprise crowd-pleasers thread through the whole afternoon.
Bollywood · Sufi · Romantic Classics · Garba
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
Garba/Dandiya Night is the heart of the wedding weekend for Gujarati and many multicultural Indian families — and arguably DJ Sohbash's deepest specialty. He moves fluidly between traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, and the devotional-celebratory blends that keep a packed floor spinning for three, four, even five hours. The 3,000+ Indian weddings in his history have made every Garba classic and every crowd-reading technique completely instinctive.
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 Epic Events 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. The Baraat is DJ Sohbash's signature — and every single one is different.

06
Wedding Reception
Every Indian wedding weekend culminates in the Reception, and DJ Sohbash closes every one of his with a performance guests later describe as transcendent. From cocktail-hour ambiance through first dance coordination and parent dances into the main set — it's a carefully constructed journey from family classics through floor-filling Bollywood to a Bhangra finale that empties every seat in the room. 3,000+ Indian wedding Receptions, and the ending is consistent: standing ovation, dance floor no one wants to leave.
