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 Four Seasons Chicago.
01
Mehndi Ceremony
The Mehndi is the warm-up to the entire wedding weekend — bride, family, friends, henna, and hours of conversation and music. DJ Sohbash's Mehndi playlist is its own arc, moving carefully from soft melodic Bollywood early on to energetic group dance numbers as the day builds. Sufi ballads, romantic classics, and unexpected crowd-pleasers complete the journey.

Haldi Ceremony
Haldi celebrates the bride and groom with turmeric, laughter, and the entire extended family in one room. DJ Sohbash brings exactly the kind of playful, high-energy music the moment demands — folk songs, regional classics, and tracks that get grandmothers and cousins moving together. His Haldi reads-and-amplifies approach is something families talk about for years.

Garba & Dandiya Night
Garba and Dandiya Night sits at the center of the wedding weekend for most Gujarati and multicultural Indian families. DJ Sohbash's Garba range spans traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, and the smooth blending of devotional and celebratory tracks — keeping the dance floor spinning three, four, even five straight hours. 3,000+ Indian weddings have built up an instinct for every Garba classic and every crowd-reading technique that sustains energy all night.

Sangeet Night
Sangeet is the wedding weekend's biggest dance night — and DJ Sohbash's Sangeet sets are what families end up talking about for years afterward. Once family performances and skits wrap, DJ Sohbash hits the floor with a set engineered for this specific family, this specific crowd, this specific moment. Bollywood hits from every era, Bhangra for the Punjabi uncles, fusion EDM drops that pull the younger generation in — every generation dancing past 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 Four Seasons 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.

Wedding Reception
Reception night is the culmination of the entire weekend, and DJ Sohbash's closing performances are what guests describe as transcendent. The full arc — cocktail hour ambiance, first dance coordination, parent dances, then the main reception set built as a journey from family classics through floor-filling Bollywood to the Bhangra finale — has been refined across 3,000+ Indian wedding Receptions. Every one of them ends with a standing ovation and a dance floor no one wants to leave.
