Mehndi Ceremony
Every Indian wedding weekend opens with Mehndi — the bride, her closest family, her dearest friends, and hours of intricate henna application. DJ Sohbash reads that room and curates a playlist that moves with it: gentle melodic Bollywood at the start, energetic group numbers when the dancing kicks in, Sufi ballads and romantic classics threaded throughout, plus the surprise crowd-pleasers that make the day memorable.

Family performances and skits run first; then DJ Sohbash takes over with a set tailored to the exact family in the room.
