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 Light and Lens Photography.
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.
Bollywood · Sufi · Romantic Classics · Garba
02
Haldi Ceremony

DJ Sohbash matches that energy with playful, high-energy tracks built specifically for the moment: folk music, regional classics, and the songs that get grandmothers and cousins dancing together. His Haldi sets are talked about across South Asian wedding circles.

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.

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.
