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 Hilton Chicago Downtown.

Sufi ballads, romantic classics, and unexpected crowd-pleasers complete the journey.

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.
