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.

Garba & Dandiya Night
Garba and Dandiya Night is the heart of the weekend for most Gujarati and multicultural Indian families — and it's a DJ Sohbash specialty. He commands traditional raas, modern fusion Garba, and the kind of devotional-to-celebratory blending that keeps dance floors spinning for three to five hours straight. 3,000+ Indian weddings have given him every Garba classic in muscle memory and every crowd-read in instinct.

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.
