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 Oakbrook Marriott.
01
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.

Haldi Ceremony
Pre-wedding rituals don't get more spirited than the Haldi — turmeric, laughter, family on family on family. DJ Sohbash's Haldi sets thrive on that energy. Folk tracks, regional classics, and the precise grandparent-friendly hits that turn the room into a multigenerational dance floor — that's the legend his Haldi performances have built in South Asian wedding circles.

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.

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 Oakbrook Marriott, 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
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.
